Droid X Source Code Released to All
|
Ready to dig deeper into the Motorola Droid X, to find out exactly what is running on top of that 1GHz processor, to maybe even do a bit of constructive adjusting to the software beneath the 4.3-inch screen? Motorola has released the source code for their beastly Android handset currently on a tear over at Verizon. Locked bootloaders and eFuses aside, the code is apparently missing a few segments that would prove vital to the ROM and root crowd, so we’re not sure exactly how useful the source will be, but if you want to get a look at it yourself you can find it over at Motorola’s open source page.

@Donovan, do you know anything about efuses or are you just echoing what you read someplace?
Motorola doesn’t stick an fps cap so it doesn’t need to be hacked to remove it
@uprooted – ill clear it up for you right now, with the bootloader/eFuse in tact this source code is useless for people wanting to load custom roms like bugless beast for droid..
unless motorola left something to disable the eFuse which i doubt this post means almost nothing to anyone who rooted there X.
@uprooted – you’re right dude. it’s that “i want to write like a cool tech blogger” syndrome, which many blogs (engadget, gizmodo, etc etc) are afflicted with. “locked bootloaders and efuses aside”….what does that sentence even mean first of all…second, is it necessary other than trying to sound clever “blogging”?
This might have some positive effects on improving the FPS cap for Evo’s however. Thanks Motorola, maybe we can steal your HDMI implementation

How does that make sense? Jail breaking is roughly equivalent to rooting, which the Droid X is capable of. You’re saying a company is evil for trying to prevent tons of people getting warranty replacements on phones they broke through trying to upload new ROMs? I agree it’s annoying, but let’s not go overboard.
Would someone please call the Mythbusters to get rid of that inane eFuse misunderstanding once and for all. Sheesh. Some careless blogger sees something he doesn’t understand, runs amok before fact checking and now the bloody issue won’t die.
Its a Formality
Source Code is useless untill Proper root is not allowed
EVIL MOTOROLA even Apple Phone is Jail Breakable
Wow that as fast.
