Root 3.4.2 flashable zip Question

Faster ..smoother ..better battery even though I hardly notice ...no am/pm...almost bug free..

Oh and I didn't know it was themeable lol
 
So this is just an update? As in Clockwork>Wipe Data/Cache>Apply update.zip>Install .zip from SD Card>Rubix - and everything is good?

Or is this a stock update and can only be applied if you use stock?

so this is an "official" build? as in a motorola build with blur and all that has been leaked?
 
im still at a toss at what it is.
in it the next version of android?
or what?

got it downloaded, gonna peek inside and maybe get it on the phone sometime tomorrow.
 
im also reading that swype doesnt work and some apps dont show up after you flash this?
is that true?
that you can replace the build.prop file though to fix that?

oh and you have to flash wugs deodex file?

No it's just the next version blur and some bug fixes/performance enhancements plus a new kernel. I can't comment on swype though..sorry.
 
Has any of the devs been working on this to get a ROM going on with it? I'm sure it's obvious that this is a leak, but I'd like to ask again to make sure - lulz, is it?

How many of you guys are actually running this? I recently got my replacement phone and I'm finally read to get back into playing with it again.

I'm sure that I should be fine on 2.3.340 since TBH always comes through with ways of getting an update installed, but what do you guys think?
 
Running it. Been running it for over a week. overclocks well. very very stable. fast. the subtle enhancements to several of the apps in stock moto-blur are well done and executed. Kind of the old "it just works" motto.

I seriously hope TBH turns out a ROM with this as it's base. I liked blur before this, but found it hard to use, now it's so easy to use, fast, stable ( no force closes :O )

If it's "ok" for it to roll out to other DEV ( Like ApeX ) then I could see this being a real keeper.
 
Just for clarification's sake: You SHOULDN'T flash a ROM AFTER you apply this?

I'm a bit confused as to whether this is like maderstcok and an SBF with updated parts or whether it's just a minor update that you can flash over.

the way i understand it is that this should be treated like you would any other update from Moto/VZW...its the newest version of Blur, and just has not been pushed out OTA to the public yet (if ever)...

so if i understand things correctly it would be a rather bad idea to flash a ROM over this as they would have been built on older bases for our phones...
 
So you would have to apply materstcok, flash this, then wait for a ROM with an updated base? Basically, back to blur?

No you can't. The reason why is because of an updated kernel, if you flash a .340 rom it will basically bootloop or not start up. You either have to update the kernel via a kernel updater then factory reset(have not tested this) and flash your rom or SBF or use materstock .340 zip.

maybe not..I think you can flash from whatever rom you have..just do a factor reset or clear the caches..I'm not sure though.

I personally was on .340 stock with my 104apps then I clear the caches and flash it..it kept my 104apps and was very stable IMO.
 
To answer a bunch of questions:
3.4.2 comes after .340, its the newest build from motorola for the DX, it has not been officially realeased yet. I've not had any issues with flashing apps and there is now a few fixes to get swype working. No roms have been built off this yet, and it is very very stable and seems that the bugs are all worked out. Overclocks VERY VERY well. Battery life has so far been better then any rom i've used on the X

Like stated above its basically like having a stock phone. You need to go through the whole bloatware removal again and it must be deodexed before themes can be flashed. From my understanding, if you wanna go back to .340, you can flash maderstock or SBF back.I would hope that the next versions of our favorite roms are built off this
