I'm a complete noob when it comes to ROMs / Apps / Themes, basically smart phones in general. Just got a Droid X for Christmas.
Thinking of using a ROM like Gummyjar2.5 or Rubix(don't know best version) because they seem to be very popular here. Anyone have any links for tutorials on installing either / both? And opinions to which would be better for a total noob? I want my phone to run faster / use less battery but still look pretty flashy.
As for themes, does anyone know where I can go to check out themes for the said two ROMs?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Roms are a mattet of how each person likes the feel of it for themselves. Right now, gummyjar 2.5, rubix 1.9.5, and liberty 1.0 are the usual choices. If you still want blur elements like you have it right now, then I suggest zapX bazinga, or apex.
All the roms run very well, but like I said, try out each. You will want to root the phone using z4root (google for it vers 1.3.0)
Then you will want to download droidx bootstrap. This will allow you to backup/restore your phone. It is also used to install the *.zip themes and ROMs.
As for themes, I recommend any of Bignadad's themes. He is the most thorough as far as complete images for framework and apps as well! Make sure that the theme you pick is compatible for any ROM you choose to use.
When I get back to a computer instead of my phone I can try and help out more =)
Ps... Look at the thread for each ROM/theme to see what you like and they will almost always include install instructions!
Hope this helps! Post back if you have more questions, I'm more than happy to help!

Ok, to start with.. No worries, we all had a point where we knew nothing about this stuff!
Blur is an "interface add-on" that motorola has added to their phones. If you were to look at the Nexus One or Nexus S, these two phones both have a stock version of android without Motorola Blur or HTC Sense on them. Sense and Blur are modifications of system applications and the user interface... Some people really like these interfaces, but most people are against it in the Android forums because they are mostly wanting performance (which is usually degraded by Sense or Blur).
Most of the ROM's now strip out the blur components (yay for our devs!) and that is what GummyJar, Liberty, and Rubix do. If you want a ROM with blur components, I would suggest using Apex or ZapX Bazinga.
2. That z4root and backup thing you said to download. Do I do that with my phone and just launch them? Or?
I have attached the z4root and droid X bootstrap .apks. What you need to do is copy these to your phone's sdcard. Then go to Settings-->Applications--> Check the Unknown sources check box. While you're at it press on the development section as well. Then check the USB debugging box.
You can then install these using a File manager such as Astro (free on the market) by opening Astro File Manager, and then browsing to the .apk file on your sdcard.
To root your phone after installing z4root, launch the app from your applications list, and then click permanent root. It will take a while (potentially) and then your phone will reboot and be rooted.
After that, then go to Astro and browse for the bootstrap apk and install that. This is what allows you to backup/restore. After that app installs, you will be prompted for superuser rights, hit yes.
Then open Droid X bootstrapper. You will want to click the top option, as that hijacks the boot process. Then reboot recovery will allow you to go to the backup/restore mode.
Check out this link: droid X wiki. I have to go take care of some stuff, but will add another post with some stuff.
3. Where do I find the threads for the specific ROMs / Themes?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=687
Use this link. This is the general Droid X thread page. The general section is just mostly questions and "general" stuff for the Droid X. The themes sections has themes.. lol and the android development has the ROMs.
Just read through the different threads and post back if you have questions.
So what does rooting my phone do? I get what backup / restore is, but not that.
This z4 is taking forever. -_-
So I went to sleep while z4 did its magic and it wasn't running when I woke up. How would I know it x completed?

EDIT: Also, when I installed bootstrap, it didn't ask me the question you said it would. Now it's showing an error when I want to do "Bootstrap Recovery". Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work.

Reboot your phone, re-run the Z4root program (phone will reboot) and after you should have a GREY Super User icon in your app drawer.
Hope this helps.
That worked, man. Thanks! So I have Bootstrap, z4 and ROM manager all ready. Now I just need to get a ROM and find one that has a slick THEME.
How do you like Liberty, Sys? I saw it was just something you put over the top of Gummyjar, which was probably the one I was going to go with if Bignadad (by the way, I don't know where to find his themes. =/) had a cool theme for it. Have you tried Rubix?
EDIT: I love Swype. Are these ROMs going to take it away from me? =P
I think many will agree that Liberty 1.0 seems to be the sweetest right about now..... try it out.
Got Liberty up successfully, but don't know how to retrieve my contacts.
hey i have one question, when z4 is done and you run bootstrap, the phone is empty of apps and contacts...and you have to do a backup from somewhere correct?

So you already have loaded liberty? Just trying to make sure I have my details straight. If you followed the install instructions and wiped data and cache then yes you will need to restore apps from titanium backup or whatever means you may have backed up your apps.
If you load a ROM such as liberty, then you will not want to use bootstrap to restore. Bootstrap completely backs up your entire phone state, not just your apps. Sorry if I misinterpretted any part of your message

So I've loaded Liberty, but can't "Link" facebook contacts to their phone numbers. Is there some option I need to enable to do this? Or should I go back to vanilla? That's a convenience I don't really intend to do without.

Is facebook installed on your phone? If not install it from the market and the initial setup should ask you if you want to set up facebook sync.
If facebook is installed to go phone settings->accounts and sync. Your facebook account should show up there and you can setup sync options.

Yeah, I have no problem with having my Facebook contacts in my contacts list, but I used to be able to link them with their phone contact. Meaning if I had a person's phone number, I could link it with their Facebook profile so their phone number would display their facebook default pic and latest status. Now, when I try to edit facebook contacts and add a number to them, it says I can't do that with this device.

Hm... I haven't really messed around with this much, as I haven't had to add/edit contacts lately... All my contact info is backed up to my gmail account...
I will try and toy with this the next couple of days and get back to you.
If anyone else has info on this... Please chime in!
If I want to go back to vanilla to re-do it, back it up, and then come back to liberty, do I have to download the vanilla zip? Or is there any way to just revert?
Also, I need a cool theme. Reg Lib is too boring. ;]

Sorry, slightly confused by your post... But I think I may have what you mean.
If you want to go back to vanilla (original phone condition) then you will need to sbf if you didn't take a backup before installing Liberty. If you did take backup using Boostrap, then I would recommend just restoring your backup.
If you didn't create a backup before... create a backup now with liberty installed in case you need a place to come back to for reference. Nandroid backups are your friend...
I'm not quite sure what you mean by vanilla, so I may be way off here. Feel free to add in some more details please =)
Yeah I mean I want to go to the completely original phone setup. I did do a bootstrap save or whatever, but bootstrap isn't installed. If I reinstall does it still have my vanilla Droid saved?
Also, how would I go about switching back to it? Navigating those menus makes me nervous.... Haha.
I'd go into Bootstrapper -- > Reboot Recovery... then what?

Okay... So if you have taken a backup before you did your install of Liberty (or any other ROM/Theme) then yes, it should still be saved on your SDcard actually. Bootstrapper creates a folder on your sdcard called "clockworkmod". Inside of that folder, there should be two more folders: backup and download. Inside of the backup folder, you should see a folder titled in a similar manner:
2010-09-10.04.03.48 (yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.IDK what the rest is.. LOL)
But regardless, this is what you should see. If you re-install the bootstrap program, then when you go reboot recover--> backup and restore--> restore, you should see this folder/option. You will use the volume up and down buttons to move the cursor up and down. Pressing the camera button (red) will select the highlighted option. You can use the back arrow key or power button to go up a level in the menus.
If this doesn't work, you can always SBF the phone (this takes the phone back to the complete original condition out of the box). It is slightly scary to do the first time (at least for me it was...), but I have probably done it at least 10 times now.
Let me know if the bootstrap backup works. Take note that you will lose any apps/texts on your phone that you now have unless you use an app like titanium backup to backup your apps, and an SMS backup app to save your text messages. The bootstrap backup takes you back to the exact condition the phone was in when you took the backup.
Lemme know if this works out for you! Good luck!
So I've recently upgraded to miks CM7, and unfortunately the memowidget is no longer there.
I tried installing the .apk by putting in system/apps but it doesn't load correctly.
Is there anyway to install it or can anyone suggest a replacement with the same features eg type notes on home page, scroll through notes etc.
Not sure if this is the best place. I just registered to be able to find a community of people that want to mod/hack their Motorola XPRTs. Can we start a new forum?
Also... I have a semi functional XPRT that I accidentally corrupted trying to remove all the Blur crap. It pretty much turns on and has adw launcher but text, contacts and dialer crash... I wish there was an SBF leaked for the XPRT....
Before you start asking why I didn't back up my stock rom. I did! but i lost the image! My only hope is now that somehow the XPRT SBF gets leaked. I tried using the Droid Pro SBF and RSD Lite 4.9 and it didn't work. I will try this again on my linux machine when I get home because I think I incorrectly installed the drivers on my win pc at work. So yeah... if anyone can help me. Is there a way to restore blur apps without SBF. I try installing them in system/app but no luck either....
All answers welcome. Thanks!

Very New phone, not a lot of help out there yet
I was able to easily root the XPRT using SuperOneClickv1.9.
I have yet to find a working tun.ko even though the phone is supposed to be almost the same as the Droid2. I cannot seem to find ROMS to help you out yet either. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case I find something or someone can help me with the tun.ko.
Yes I am a noob, but I am doing as much research as possible before posting.
Being a fan of modding your phone while having an XPRT is sad, Will the XPRT ever have its own sub forums or custom roms?
Apps Safe to Remove, Delete Sprint Boot Animation
I successfully used the SuperOneClick root method on my Motorola XPRT, which has the following software:
System version: Version.4.1.15.MB612.Sprint.en.US
Android version: 2.2.2
You can find the SuperOneClick method outlined elsewhere in another XPRT Forum...Just Google "Rooting your Motorola XPRT" and follow directions...
After root, I then used Titanium Backup to 1.CLEAR DATA and 2.UN-INSTALL the following (mostly Sprint) apps with no resulting issues:

I also deleted the Sprint boot animation and sound (from the /system/media folder, using Root Explorer. This leaves the stock Android splash screen after Motorola splash)
You can also use a free .MP3 to .OGG converter from the web to convert your .MP3's to .OGG format, put them on your mem card, then use Root Explorer to drop them into the /system/media/audio/ringtones or /system/media/audio/notifications folders to "embed" your ringtones & notifications in the system files rather than on the mem card...I just like to do this for some reason...I also delete all the stock ringtones and notifications from those folders, then clear the Caches to remove them from showing up as selections anymore. Speaking of this, does anyone know how to clear the Dalvik Cache using the stock Recovery? (Or know of any custom Recovery that works on the XPRT?) I'm coming from the HTC Evo, so I'm still learning my way around this Motorola...
TO SHUT OFF CAMERA AND CAMCORDER SHUTTER SOUND ON THE XPRT:
1. Root your phone using the SuperOneClick method
2. Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
3. Click "Mount R/W" to mount the folder to Read/Write.
4. Locate and long-press to delete "camera_click.ogg" (or rename "camera_click(old).ogg" if you might restore it later)
5. Locate and long-press to delete "VideoRecord.ogg" (or rename it "VideoRecord(old).ogg" if you might restore it later)
6. Click "Mount R/O" to remount the folder as Read Only.
7. Reboot the phone.
8. Done!
Cheers!

PS-- If anyone has loaded a custom Recovery (ClockworkMod, Amon RA, etc.) please post a reply...like I mentioned, I'm coming from the HTC Evo, so I'm still learning my way around this Motorola stuff and haven't pulled the trigger on trying to load any Recovery yet. Thanks!
PSS-- If you know of more Apps that are safe to remove please reply, thanks!
VegasRooted, dude you are exactly the person I'm looking for! Another XPRT owner who is not afraid of rooting/modding.
So I have installed cwm recovery. All you need to do is use the DROID 2 bootstrapper by koush from the Market and then you will be able to boot cwm recovery and do nandroid backups and wipe the cache, etc. Let's start sharing all the things we are discovering using this device. I dont know why more people are not interested in dev/hacking the XPRT. So far I'm loving this phone! and with Motorola unlocking the bootloader soon I'm hoping this phone gets its own forum!
Also... I am the same person in Android forums who posted the SuperOneClick method for the XPRT! but I dont give me credit for it... All I did was try it out and post my result after it was successful. I figured since the Droid Pro and XPRT share a lot of internals, the root for the Pro would work on the XPRT too. zroot4 doesn't work on the XPRT, but it does on the Pro.
Anyways... I hope we can get some sort of subforum for this device!
Can't wait to try out all the things VegasRooted posted. I guess there's really no way to remove Motion Blur completely? I just installed LauncherPro over it and called it a day.
[/quote]Can't wait to try out all the things VegasRooted posted[/quote]
make sure to do a backup!
Sweet
Hydrogen,
That's excellent, thanks for the Recovery info, that's exactly what I needed!
Also, I went crazy with it and stripped out even more stuff; the (updated) attached list of safely removed apps follows...(Make sure to back stuff up just in case you want it back later, of course!)

Props to Hydrogen for having the sand to attempt XPRT root with SuperOneClick in the first place, AND THEN doing the ClockWorkMod install as well! Well played indeed...
Installing ClockWorkMod on XPRT
Thanks to your tip Hydrogen, I went ahead and bought and installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper and Bootstrapped the Recovery, then downloaded Rom Manager to install ClockworkMod. I then flashed ClockworkMod Recovery using Droid 2 as the phone model...worked like a charm, thanks again!
Hey Hydrogen, is your XPRT still semi-corrupted? If so, let me know which Blur APK's you deleted, maybe I can use Root Explorer to copy them from my XPRT and email the APK's to you? Then you could use Root Explorer to put them in the /system/app folder...That might work, right?
VegasRooted
VegasRooted,
no worries. i deleted blur-home.apk and blurhome.odex files and i was using ADW as my launcher but all my messaging and dialer/contact related functions stopped working. I removed root and sent it to Sprint and they sent me another one. This time I'm doing double backups of my original stock rom b4 i remove all the bloatware.
btw i noticed you have been removing things like Bluetooth transfer and DLNA. Do you not use those features?
hydrogen4G
Removed Stuff
Yes Hydrogen that's correct, I don't use Bluetooth Share or DLNA, although I have tried them both. I like to strip out absolutely everything that I don't use, so little-by-little I will get it all cleared out, the way I like it!
Cheers!

I'm contemplating on purchasing the bootstrapper but couple of questions.....
With one click root, if i choose the unroot option does it successfully unroot it?
Do we have the shipped rom anywhere for the Xprt?
Were you able to do all the wiping like dalvik etc?
Is there any crash course guides on porting roms because wouldn't the Pro have many similarities with the Xprt making it easier to port?
Last question isn't as important since it's my gf phone but i would be interested in trying to port....
TIA
Answers
I personally have not tried the "unroot" option of SuperOneClick, so not really sure on that...
There is no "factory rom" available (to my knowledge) for the XPRT...I have read that with the Droid Pro there was a factory SBF that was leaked and folks could flash it through RSD-Lite to return to factory...but no such SBF yet available for the XPRT, apparently...
Yes, you are able to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, as well as User Wipe/Factory Reset using ClockworkMod; you must use Droid 2 Bootstrapper and select "Reboot Recovery" in order to boot into ClockworkMod, however. (Once you have followed the other steps to bootstrap the recovery and install ClockworkMod in the first place, of course...)
As for the last question, I personally have no experience in porting ROMs, so I can't help you there...
Good Luck!
I'm thinking of getting the xprt from Sprint... I travel to Europe frequently and would like to be able to use it on both sides of the pond. Has anyone been able to get unlock codes from Sprint? Their rates are outrageous ($3.50/minute). I'd like to use local SIMs if possible.

I got the XPRT for similar reasons; I am loving it btw. It is a much more "adult" phone. The screen may not be huge and hi-res, but the battery life is amazing, and the keyboard is great. Build quality seems better than the HTC I had as well.
I had an EVO before and would switch back to my blackberry when traveling to Europe.
My experience using the blackberry (and it should be the same for the XPRT) is that you just have to call the sprint international line and they will unlock it for you for free. Then when you are in Europe, you just go and pick up a SIM card and put it in. That is all.
Cool, thanks... I have no experience with Sprint International since I never had one of their CDMA/GSM hybrid phones before - I would just lug around my Sprint phone (Sanyo 4900, amazing phone, still works and has better reception and battery life than any phone made in the past 5 years) and a cheapo unlocked GSM phone - Samsung something-or-other.
If the XPRT has decent reception, and I get it unlocked... I would be able to replace both of the above. Hacking comes next.
Factory Reset for Motorola XPRT
Try this to reset your phone to factory default:
1. Pull the battery out and reinsert it.
2. Press and hold the Power and Camera buttons
3. Release the Camera button when prompted
4. Press and hold the Volume Down key
5. A yellow exclamation will appear on the display
6. Select the Wipe data/factory reset (Alt + W) option

Good luck!
I recently flashed Liberty 2.0, and restored my device using TB Pro. My apps were reinstalled, but they do not show in the market under "My apps." So I don't know what's been updated, etc. I've cleared the cache and data for the Market application, tried the Market Doctor included with TB Pro, I've even wiped cache partition in Recovery. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? Is it time to wipe it all and start over? Thanks in advance!
Is Liberty 2 what you're truly using...
The one on froyo kernel?
If not...you're on LIBERTY 3 v2.0
Either way.
Seems like a build.prop issue.
This may be a documented problem in the rom...but I kinda' doubt it.
Jrummy/Kejar are pretty reputable hack-er-up rom builders.
Try flashing the rom on top of itself.
Or if you really don't want to do that...
Using root explorer or equivalent to manually move a fresh build.prop into place (with the correct permissions.)
Thanks for the reply! It is on the GB Kernel, Liberty 3 version 2.0. I pulled the 2.0 out of the Liberty Settings/ Mod version. I tried pulling the build.prop from the .zip for the ROM to replace build.prop on the device. No luck.
The other interesting thing that I meant to include earlier is that it only happens on my main google account. I have 3 on the phone, and of course the only one that's not showing apps is the main one I use. Here's a screenshot of what I get.
I'm not excited about reflashing, so any other ideas are greatly appreciated. I know I might have to bite the bullet on this one though. Thanks again!
I also meant to suggest you check that you were logged in with the correct account.
That's a pain in the ass...I hope you resolve it.
Are you sure your main account was the one linked with your purchases?
OK so I'm new to the whole rom world but I managed to install cm11 on my droid x. Now its laggy the browser, certain games, random reboots etc. I wasn't using the phone for calls etc now I want to put minutes on it but I want to try to fix it first.
I had stock gingerbread before installing cm11. I found the instructions on how to install the ROM on this forum and everything did fine it just lags horribly. Is there something I can do that's simple to fix it? Can I try cm10? If so what do i need to do since I am using cm11? Also I did this all with no PC just installed the proper apps and files in the instructions listed for installing cm11 on the droid x. Thanks for any help
No cm10 for the droid x, some ICS/cm9 ROMs, but with need to sbf back to stock, try DX (MB810) ezSBF & Root 2.3.4/4.5.621

This section might be hidden on some phones, but it’s very easy to access. On many phones, you just have to open a certain page in the settings and tap a button seven times. Use Google to figure out how to enable Developer options on your phone if it’s currently hidden (for example, search “enable developer options HTC One”).
Once you have access to Developer options, simply scroll until you find the following three settings, which may be located on the main screen or within an “Advanced” subsection:
Window animation scale
