[ROM] NEX360 - For Droid X360 (Includes CWM!)

neX360 - Custom Firmware for the Droid X360
BY TEHCRUCIBLE
V1.0 - ICS 4.04

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210603093137/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULRHyUf0rvA" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULRHyUf0rvA</a>


INTRODUCTION
===========

Finally,  a Livesuit flash-able firmware for the Droid X360!

This is the culmination of my work on the SuperScript, compiled into a complete rom, with some new added awesome!  Based on AOSP 4.0.4, this rom includes all the tweaks and fixes from the SuperScript, with the addition of Clockworkmod Recovery and support and settings for Gamekeyboard baked in.

A few notes: 

-  This firmware is only for the first version of Droid X360.  neX360 is currently NOT COMPATIBLE WITH iDROID OR DROID v2.  Wait for the next version please.

-  This firmware does not include any of the outdated and pirated apps that originally shipped with the Droid X360.  You will need to source your own emulators and games.

-  Flashing this firmware WILL ERASE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE and RESTORE YOUR DEVICE TO STOCK.  You have been warned, I take no responsibility for damage or data loss.

-  Clockworkmod performs its nandroid backups to the INTERNAL SDCARD.  This means that if you flash with livesuite after performing a nandroid backup, you will lose that backup.  Backup your backups!

-  Controls have been mapped for maximum support with Xperia Play and USB gamepad compatible apps.  Check out the Gamekeyboard video below for more info.

SO WHAT DOES IT DO?
================

In a nutshell:

- More features to come...

Very good work my friend. If I had a Droid, this would be the first thing to install.

I see you actually solved the issues of the CWM recovery, nice :)

Thanks mate, sure did.  Lost a lot of sleep in the process, but as always, its usually the simplest thing in the end lol.

waiting for links... ^_^

Should be up.  Temporarily using public dropbox link for firmware atm, as Mediafire wont let me upload more than 200MB files.

Wow Coolness Inc. has struck again ;D

Can I flash this on the Droid X360 v2 / iDroid X360? I would believe so, since it only has more RAM.

Does this support true analog controls on N64 games? Has that been solved? I've been trying to figure this out. The X360 has the form factor that looks most appealing to me, and your Rom looks amazing for it. Thanks!

please, don?t ask for impossibles.

as i know, the device don?t have real analogs, and TehCrucible don?t have sources of the device to compile and try alternative...

Sorry. I've been searching the boards and I'm relatively new to the scene here. Learning all I can before I buy my first android handheld.

no problem! and... welcome to dingoonity!

[offtopic]
if you're looking for a real analog stick, i can tell your choices:

- Archos Gamepad: True analog (2), spearated analog from d-pad, and joystick interface (games recognize the Archos as a joystick, and you can setup directly on most games, without use of any mapping tool) and double shoulder buttons  (L1, L2 & R1, R2)
- JXDS7300B: True analogs (2), but linked left stick with D-PAD, and the device have a keyboard interface (games don?t recognize directly as a gaming controller, then you must use the JXD mapping tool to play most games) and double shoulder buttons (L1, L2 & R1, R2)

and there are other true analogs, but with only one stick, linked with D-PAD and only single triggers (L & R)
- JXDS603: as S7300B, the stick is true analog, but linked with the D-PAD. the only way to use this as analog is using the mapping tool.
- JXDS100: Same as S603.

for now, any JXD device cannot let you to map (Left) Stick and D-PAD Separately, i.e, to use in N64 emulator.

I'm testing now.

question: Can you add uinput support? (a compiled uinput module)

with this, you can enable Joystick mode on Gamekeyboard, and add natural joystick interface to games that support gamepads/joysticks (such Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, etc)

Cant see why not.  Give it a try, you can always flash your stock firmware again if something goes wrong.

the device don?t have real analogs, and TehCrucible don?t have sources of the device to compile and try alternative...

Correct.  And kind of correct...  ;)

question: Can you add uinput support? (a compiled uinput module)

Its on the roadmap.  As well as XB360 and PS3 gamepad support.  And fixing that goddamn initlogo.rle lol.  Just got my JXD 7300B delivered yesterday though, so it might be a few days coming.  ;D

This Rom works with the 1st model of Droid X360 ?

Yes, it is designed and tested on the first model of the Droid X360, however it should be compatible with both models.

Can you tell me how install this Firmware ?

I installed livesuit, then I selected the firmware and when I click to flash the device livesuit crash...

Same in recovery mode.

I'm on W7 64bits, drivers are well installed.

Thanks.

Cheers mate,  I think I had the same one downloaded, just haven't had a chance to test it.  I'll give it a go later tonight and try to reproduce the problem.

When you say you cannot map a button that has already been mapped with GKB, do you mean a button that has already been mapped the Hardkey Remappings section?

Can you tell me how install this Firmware ?

Strange, sounds like you are doing it correctly.  Did you follow the video? Perhaps try re-downloading the img file in case it was corrupted.  Also, in my experience Livesuit can be a bit fiddly.  Maybe try on another computer if you have access to one?
