[Q] Fastest ROM for Droid X? - Droid X General

I'm seriously considering flashing a custom ROM to my phone but wanted to hear from you guys as to which one has the best performance out there. Any suggestions?

Just flashed rubix focused 0.5 pretty damn quick benchmark isn't that great but it feels so smooth got from rom manager

I would suggest Rubix .5 or Fabulous ROM beta
Tried both and both are good and fast. I use my own custom rom right now though since I like the stock alarm clock and haven't figured out a way for it to run without blur home still installed.

Rubix 0.5.

Just installed zapx from over at android forums and it is ridiculously fast...

Thanks for the advice, guys. I will definitely look at Rubix 0.5 and Zapx.

[Q] Which is the best Sense ROM for you?

Recently I joined here again and I've seen some new ROMs with the comming of the official FroYo. I've been here for a while looking for some Froyo Sense ROM and they all look really nice. I've been running Wildpuzzle after CM but it's a bit slow and now I'm searching a better one (if it's possible).
Which Sense ROM would you highly recommend?
Thanks for all and sorry for my bad english!!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
All Sense ROM's will be slower than AOSP (Non-Sense) ROM's because Sense requires a lot of processing power. You can look at Sunaabh as an alternative to WildPuzzle but I doubt it will be as fast as CyanogenMod.
For me personally, I use WildPuzzle because I like to keep a Sense ROM, and, Live Wallpapers in Sense = Win for me.
I haven't tried any others, but WildPuzzle 0.7 seems very good currently, and not too slow at all, specially if you overclock it.
wildpuzzle v8.0 is the best Rom .
Im using wildpuzzle...
But
For me cyanogen is better,too bad camera recording and radio is not working and some other bugs.
Thats the only reason why im on wildpuzzle.

I hope for you that there will be an different way
WildpuzzleROM,even thou i'm using launcherpro to replace sense,i still prefer it over CyanogenMod due to the bugs and different apps(gallery,flashlight,etc.)
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
If you're looking for something that is reliable and fairly close to stock, just tweaked here and there, I'd say Sunaabh.
If you want a more tweakable and enhanced version of Sense then head over to Wildpuzzle. Can't really go wrong with that one.
I'd recommend trying out an AOSP ROM with a different launcher, like Launcher Pro, if you're game; the phone tends to be a lot smoother that way.
what is wrong with ADW launcher in AOSP?

Nothing. Some people do get crashes and instability using it though. Although I have been using the inbuilt ADW Launcher with CM7 since I have been using it, and, there have been no issues.
Also, for people who have spent time with both launchers, they are of the opinion that LP offers more features, and, is more stable.
hm ok...i've been using ADW on wildfire and X10 and 0 crashes or problems...
thanks

[Q] Debloated Stock ROM?

Is there just a debloated stock ROM? it can be froyo or GB, i dont care. If it was for my phone i wouldnt care, but this is for my friends phone who works out of town for weeks at a time, and he is not tech savvy at all. So I want it to be stable as possible. I cant seem to find one.
I recommend trying Gingerbread Liberty, Apex, GingerAle, or ZombieStomped.
Roms on the Droid X can't be completely debloated as it causes the phone to bootloop, but these roms are as debloated as possible and are also tweaked for faster performance along with better battery life.

I found this one. I have home on Rubix 2.0 right now, but the camera isnt working and he needs backup assistant. I see with the ROM on the link here i can insert the backupassistant apk back in the ROM before installing it. Could i essentially do that with any other ROM that is made from the same version?
That rom looks great, you should be able to add the backup assistant apk back with no troubles.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
the best debloated rom (imho) is the STOCK ALLTEL ROM.
i havent seen anything as clean as it is.
it is froyo but it also can be rooted and you can do what you want after that.
the main problem you might have is making it work on vzw network.
i just use wifi with skype so its great for me.
I played with basically EVERY rom back in the Froyo days and honestly... just having a rooted 2.3.3 stock Gingerbread rom with all the extra crap apps removed or disabled with root explorer is very nice especially for someone who is not tech savvy.

What sense Rom do you like best?

I was just curious as to what everyone else thinks about the sense 3.0 and 2.1+3.0 roms. Which do you think are the best? I'm currently using kinged kingdom 2.1 odexed and it has been the smoothest running so far. All the other roms have felt laggy or sluggish at times. I'd like to find one to use as a daily. Any recommendations?

I've been using synergy for the past couple months. Haven't found a reason to switch yet.
Never tried 2.1-3.0 hybrids but I have shooter 3.0 and have very little issues......and waiting for all the bugs to be worked out of bliss 3.5 so I can try that...
Sent from my Gruesomes Rom using XDA Premium App
Mikg is my favourite, and ive tried just about all of em. Super stable and very fast.
I was using synergy for a little bit but I can't remember why I switched. I think it had something to do with the camera wouldn't work if you used a different kernel. I might have to give it another shot since I've heard a lot of good about it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I've used Synergy and MikG a lot. They are pretty much the same except Synergy has the updater, and an effin ton of themes + mods, but I feel like it's a little bit slower than Mik. Also Mik sees more updates.
Synergy is great so far! Love the stock gb with the settings shortcut in the notification menu. Custom synergy update is great too. Although I haven't seen any updates yet. Everything else seems fine. Used Sinister for a while. I Sinister is fast and while the 3d home screen integration is nice, I think it used a little too much memory. I got the white htc screen too much. I get it almost after every game I play
Sent from my Evo running Synergy Rom!
I started with Synergy RLS1 and then decided to try MikG. I think MikG is better but that is a personal choice. I just feels faster to me... that might be due to the fact that it is odexed and Synergy is deodexed. Since I am not into themes, etc I do not need a deodex ROM.
r3chargeD final from EVOlvedROM. Needs some easy tweaks based on build # (still consider myself is a newbie) but plenty of support.
Currently using bliss getting better every update

Using [R2R]_[Rom][Sence 3.0 GB 2.3.5]Going_Green_Lightning_Fast-R.3.Zip and so far it has been great. Very fast. Only issues is that HD recording on my EVO has caused FC. Others have had this happen on this ROM as well. The dev is very responsive, so I assume a fix will come soon.
I have been on mik g for a while and never had a problem, I may go with synergy just because id like to update without doing a full wipe every couple of weeks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I switched over from synergy to EVOlvedrom. It's runs great with great battery life. No lags or problems. It has some small glitches but nothing that messes with the functionality of the phone.
Plus the theme it comes preloaded with is pretty sharp.

I was rolling on MIUI for a while there, but I went back to SnS Sense ROM today. MIUI was just getting too buggy for me. SnS just works.

Anyone flash Shuji 2.5 or Liberty X3 RC?

Just wonder if anyone has flashed either of these two Roms? They were just released over the weekend. I know battery life will be great on both. Just wondering what type of customization's they have before I flash. As well of any known bugs that either may have. Thanks fellas.
Going to flash Liberty 3 soon and will report back.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yea I'm running Liberty 0.9 right now and I'm wondering which new one to flash. I already get great battery life on Liberty and love the ROM, but Shuji is definitely appealing for me to try.
I'm flashing Shuji 2.5 right now.

How is Shuji 2.5? What type of customization's and battery life??
Battery life was extremely great! Seemed to have the best battery of any ROM I've tried yet. There wasn't much to customize really, which is a disappointment. Kinda boring. I ended up just flashing the newest Liberty X3 and I love it. It has an ICS feel to it. Very smooth and framework is very similar to ICS. Hoping they come out with some new themes for Liberty soon.
I've flashed Shuji, but I would suggest Vortex if speed, stability, and battery life are what you're looking for. I have flashed many other roms, and so far Vortex eclipses them all. just my 2 cents

Ok cool thanks for the info. Thats what I was wondering. The developer just released Vortex 2.9 so I'll definitely be flashing this one.
Currently running LibertyX 3 coming from CM7.1 and I must say that this rom has the best battery life I have ever gotten coming from older versions of liberty, cm7, and so on. It is also pretty fast when navigation home screens and apps. I have not tried Shuji yet but what would that rom offer that I don't already get from LX3?
Huge fan of Liberty, ran 0.9 until CM7 became a bit more stable. Unfortunately, CM7's battery life is just too much of a hit to keep running it. Just flashed LibertyX3, and it's great! Seems much smoother than 0.9 and battery life so far is great. Heavy usage for 3 hours (restoring everything from backups) and still had 75% battery left.
Anybody flash shuiji or VorteX? I plan on flashing those in boot manager just to mess around.
I'll chime in with Liberty as well - been running it for about a week now. Best battery life I've had on any ROM so far. I know it's just a RC and some people are having issues, but I have not had any problems at all. Works great flashed over to Cricket as well, no issues with MMS or anything.
I have had liberty.9 gb and the sugui gb Im running cm7 nightlys for gb I prefer this the most 100s of themes,fonts,and all round good,I would also buy tomorrow tools great to have I bought it

I like cm7.
I have been using YACK (Yet Another CM7 Kang) for a while and loved the speed of it. Before that, CM7. I believe you stick with a CM7 based rom and your good. You can still enjoy HDMI features also.
Perfect. Thank you. You have a link our URL for yack?

I am unsure if I am allowed to post a link here, so I will explain how to get to it. Its on RootzWiki site, in the DroidX Development section. It is not in its own sub-category, I believe its on the second page. You should have no problems finding it.

If she is new to android i would suggest Miui due to its user friendliness and its customizability.

I also would recommend MIUI, regardless.
MIUI is probably the most full featured stable rom for the Droid X.

MIUI is nice, but I prefer the speed and stability of CM7. I always seem to have weird issues with MIUI, mainly bluetooth problems.
I installed YACK on my wife's x based of the recommendation. I found a couple of things annoying but might be a problem with many roms.
The button lights are either always on or always off. I would like them to come on with the screen back-light.
The notification LEDs don't work. I've tried to set them up in the KANG settings but so far haven't had any luck.
And last but not least my wife is on my ass about not having the "Droid" sound. (I can't win!)
MUIU for customization, CM7 is very sleek & stable. I like l
Liberty the best as all stock functions still work, very stable and seems to be the fastest of them.
