Root DX Gingerbread 2.3.3 Update.zip released! TBH

Just downloaded from one of the mirrors. So I can just flash in recovery and then I'm good to go?

Any issues with installing apps from the market?

Wipe and flash. I had no problems with my apps. Can't find a couple but I could be typing the wrong name into search.

Wipe data as in factory reset from recovery? Did you install via Droid X Bootstrap recovery or stock?
 
Cool thanks. Its late and Im super tired. Maybe later in the week. No root is really whats holding me back.
 
You know, normally I'd feel guilty about using a public mirror for something like this, but since I'm already a proud owner of TBH app, I'm happily taking advantage of the higher download speed of my laptop.

why on earth would using a public mirror make you feel guilty? :D It should make you mad some DG posted a link to the TBH servers and killed all the bandwidth.
 
Are you guys flashing back to stock (rooted) before installing this or are you just flashing it from whatever ROM you're on (after data wipe)? I'm on Liberty and just wondering if I should go back to stock first.

Nope I just did a wipe factory restore and flashed it. The odd thing is I still had all my apps on reboot so I didn't lose anything... except root:confused:.
 
Waiting for root (wifi tether), bugs to be solved (after root), got enough to worry about today...we'll take a look in a week or so.
 
I am still not happy that Moto locked the bootloader on their phones, but I have to admit that if they can start turning out builds like this 95% of their users will never care. The look and the feel of this thing are amazing. Will have to give it a couple days to see what battery life is like, but I am excited, feels like a new phone again.

I just wonder what will happen once this get rooted and the developers get some ROMs cooked up for us. If Moto could do this, just think what our developers could do!
 
Yeah, I, too, am still not super happy about the bootloader... but you have to give Moto credit, the X is going to be one of the first devices to get Gingerbread. At least they're providing for their customers.

Half the complaint with the locked bootloader is that the life of the device goes down since software updates stop when the manufacturer stops providing them. Moto is, at the very least, showing that they're not ditching the X owners.

I jumped on it last night to try it out. If root doesn't come in the next couple days, I may jump back - if nothing else, because I had my Froyo set up pretty slick, and I couldn't bring everything over since TiBu needs root. But if it's as slick as its been this morning, I may just set stuff up again...
 
Alright just playing with this more and I have to say I am impressed with the default launcher on this. If you are on your home screen and hit the home button it pulls up a preview of all the screens and allows you to jump to that one (just like on the other launchers) Also a long press on home pulls up more than the 8 most recent apps, have not played with it too much to see how many it will show. Also the profiles for the launcher are really nice. The resizing is a little better (the other launchers are still a little better). The only thing I wish it had was a way to change the number columns or rows. Other than that it is pretty complete.

I am not going to be getting much work done at work today :D

Must resist till root comes.... Have file downloaded but am hearing alot of good coming from this. Have to fight the urge to flash...:p
 
Why fight it? The worst that can happen is you don't like if SBF back to .340 restore your back up and nothing is lost....except a few text messages ;)

That was the way I looked at it. I can't wait until someone smarter than I am figures out how to root this and I can remove the bloat, and then see how fast this thing can be. I can tell you at this point if you do not rely on Wireless Tether I am not sure there is a reason this has to be rooted right away. OK re-installing all the apps is a process, but I will live.

I didn't fight it. I thought about it and realized I only use my root apps a small percentage of the time. The majority of my use for root is installing new ROMs. Plus, you can SBF back to 2.3.320 and go back to your rooted builds.

It's slick. The color scheme and small touches are beautiful. The whole system is more responsive. A lot of people won't like the color scheme because it's bright and "consumer" oriented rather than dark and robotic... but I think it's great. Very well thought out.

Moto has been extremely attentive to the criticism of Blur. Earlier phones had Blur really interwoven into the system and everyone hated it. The X had Blur, but a lot less of it and more of a filling-in of functionality where the stock lacked and got mixed reviews. This latest build has really cleaned up a lot of the complaints.

Always coming back to the locked bootloader, of course, but as a whole, Moto is a very attentive, responsive company with their phones. I'm a fan of this build.

I was just too attached to Fission and I had it all set up finally and just the thought of flashing another thing right now might drive me crazy but curiosity is killing me right now....:p
 
Yeah, I had Liberty set up the way I wanted it. I just ran a nandroid before I updated, figure Liberty is only a SBF + clockwork restore away.
