[Q] Milestone 2? - Milestone 2 General

Hi there, I just got my milestone 2 today, and just wanted to check if I can simply install US software, ROM's etc.
Had a quick look in the relevant titled threads and the suggested ones before making this thread, but nothing came up, so sorry if this is the bazillionth time somebodies asked.
Thanks in advance
Piers

I post a message asking if there will be a dedicated forum for Milestone 2.
It is not clear for me if the Droid 2 firmware and mods can be used on Milestone 2.
At the moment I know that Z4root and Droid 2 Bootstrap work on Milestone 2.

I am considering buying this device for my wife, and also am interested in the answer.

+1 - I'm in agreement. We need separate sections for Droid 2, Droid 2 Global, and Milestone 2 to avoid confusion, and the potential to brick devices by flashing the wrong stuff to the wrong device.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi, try to play some multi touch game like Nova or Sandstom to see if you have a problem with the multi touch or not. Mine and my girl friend's both have that problem. I hope this is just a software problem not the hardware. Btw can anyone show me how to contact motorola? I live in Houston. Thanks.

Multitouch works like a charm on my milestone 2.
Could anyone inform a moderator about the milestone 2-section thing? ^^

+1 for this

Another +1.

+1 for sure

+1 for this

Someone asked if they could use D2 sbf/roms on Milestone2. The answer is no. I tried two D2 roms and failed both times. Sbf is no go without a question (different radio)
Oh and I would also like separate Milestone2 section

Hey guys, I would suggest 'rating' this thread 5 stars also, might help to get more attention...

+ 1 from me as well..
There are so many +1 (including mine)...
I hope the Moderators soon bring up Milestone 2 dedicated part..

I PM'd the mod in charge of such things (so I was informed) but received absolutely no response. I think it's rather rude to completely ignore the request just because the phone isn't released in the US. There are a few Americans working with us on getting this phone more supported in the modding community and since this *is* the largest modding community for such devices the lack of action is really holding things back.
We have Clockwork Recovery, overclocking *and* an SBF to restore to - let us have some fun with our MS2's!

The administrators have already said they will not. If you need to have these sections then might I suggest...
absolutelyandroid.com
alldroid.org
androidoverdrive.com
and many others, these are just off the top of my head
droidforums.net is what I use

Nice try.... but if you research you'll find out that the Xperia X1 and X10 were made by HTC
Sent from my *HTC* Dream or T-Mobile G1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I think X1 made by HTC , not X10
Umh, I can't say surely if the X10 is made by HTC or not.
In any way, a Motorola Milestone/Droid section on xda-developers would bring some other users here, and it would be of much use even for me: I'm waiting for my Milestone to arrive!
And let's say this clearly. There's a lot of extremely experienced people that can help us to crack the RSA verification in our BootLoader... it's a shame... opensource phone without opensource philosophy.. lol!
So, I'm adding my +1 to the Milestone section... but it's a decision of Administrators whether to include it or not. Maybe if 200+ users will show their interest on a Milestone the admins will change their vision on this and bring an unique place here to discuss about Milestone development & hacking!

If you check the menu "Device by OS or Manufacturer" (in the right top of the screen) you'll see there are a lot more devices at XDA developers than only HTC (Samsung, LG, Acer, Toshiba) so a section for Motorola would be very much appreciated.
+ 1 for milestone...just got one love it
I'll say +1 for milestone 2, it is no longer my primary device (i got a desire) however the phone has potential, that is currently locked down to to signed kernal, and no forum big enough for it...
I Xda-Developer forum was meant for only HTC-made devices (including Xperia models) then how come Samsung Galaxy deserved its own forum?
Was Samsung Galaxy S created by HTC?
Please correct me if I'm wrong as I have not found any info on this.
I know I am soo gonna get boo'ed outta here,but i soo wish we had some of these devs at XDA working on some Cliq stuff. Theres already a 2.1 dump for it,but only a couple of people working on it so far. Yeah Yeah I know,the Cliq is the Moto Bastard step-child,but still,would be nice,i got the Cliq after my G1 finally died. Wishing i had just got a mytouch now but i wanted a Keyboard,and i thought with better hardware specs maybe there would be more Devs on it,sadly,i was wrong.
please add.
+1 for Motorola Milestone. I own both Milestone and HTC Hero and can play around with HTC Hero ROMs (thanks to developers here) but do not want to brick my Motorola Milestone (don't really rely on instructions from other website)

Once again, not the right forum.
Go to the X2 forum (there is a box to find your device in the top right).
That phone has nothing in common with the MS2, so it's not here you'll find help.

There's no forum on XDA for Milestone X2 apparently... maybe try this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1172
It's for the Droid X2... maybe it could be useful, I don't know, but honestly, you won't get much help on this forum since you have a different phone
I wish you good luck dude!

Sent from my G2 running the random rom of the day.
hey I think the desire z needs a Facebook group. My old phone (htc explorer) had a fb group and it was really informative about new roms and development being done. I know there is an irc but if someone created a fb group I think it would be really helpful
I'm making this a sticky. Hope that all the Off Topic Discussions will be limited to this thread only.
You can ask for feedback about ROMs on this thread. Just to be clear when I say feedback, I mean discussing about facts & not discussing about how you feel about a particular ROM.
Do not try to belittle any Developer /ROM / MOD / Other projects for any reason, I hope you all understand.
Regards & Cheers !

Its the best qwerty smartphone for me.
It could have more ram but.. well its 2years old smartphone.
Thank you all for your hard work all this time, but now it's time for me to say good bye to you guys since I'm changing to a new device. I've enjoy using my desire z with custom ROM all this years. Moving to galaxy note 10.1, keep up the good work and support.
desire z sill good enough, check new trick droid rom i like it too much.
The g2 is probably the most dev friendly phone.......doing all these stuff on my s2 is not that easy:what:

Hello.
The moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.
We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general. After all the name of the site is xda-developers.
If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.
As such, this thread will be closed in 24 hours from this post.
Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums ridding them from any topic that doesn't pertain to the specific device.
Thank you for your understanding.

New Mods?

Apparently kennith & swift have been replaced by new mods, and a lot of them...
Damn. I'm really gonna miss the kennethpenn / swiftks good cop / bad cop team!
Huh wow... This literally happened overnight.
Wonder how come... I mean I know they've moved on to other devices long time ago, I guess that's probably it...
The new mod are making a good job, its nice to know that we are in good hands

The Atrix forums have turned into a ghost town. It's sad that we never were able to unlock the full potential of our phones. Everyone has moved on at this point.
I agree.. I believe that these phones had so much more potential in them, that may never be seen
sorry but, we don't need a new mods. we need to Recognized Developer or elite Recognized Developer for help ics kernel port

If Developers are in such need, then I might suggest grabbing some dev books, and learn.

I dunno, I'm looking at the Dev forum for us and as I type this there's fourteen ROMs on the first page alone with most of their threads having pretty recent replies too. And the devs appear to be answering as well.

Ah I see. Hopefully someone will answer you (I don't have your answer or I would have).
Although I don't mind the population here, our phone also isn't being offered by any of the American carriers except for Verizon which has the Droid Maxx 2 (a Play that's Verizon-branded). I don't think they allow bootloader unlocking (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) so not going to be much interest from them.

Proper developers reply once in a blue moon to problems in general thread as most of the problems can be solved by users possessing a bit higher knowledge.
Developers are mainly concerned with the development of Roms and I am totally ok with it if they don't reply to normal queries of forum.
