[Q] What is best ROM for D2?

I am just curious what you guys think is the best ROM for a D2.

As of right now, nothing compares to Fission.

Best ROM
Fission by far!

Fission huh.....can I ask why

and how do I get it? Do I need another kernal as well?

Just go to the development section and read the first post in the Fission thread. It explains how to install. You need to be rooted and have Koush's bootstrap.

If you like the stock look, you could also try squidly's rom. People with oc have been getting good scores with quadrant. The support is good for it as well. Has scripts setup to make it most customizable for basic needs and has the oc built in as well.

Maybe a but odd question, but what is the most Sense like rom out right now? And what is the latest version of Fission, because I see a few listed in the rom section.

I would agree about a sense like rom. Anything like that out there? Or anyway I could install it on the D2 if I get one?

There's not a sense-like rom that I know of for the D2

Oh, I think I remember seeing one for the original Droid and would have like it on the D2 or at least the dialer.

Try Dialer One.
A Sense ROM is extremely unlikely on the D2, so don't hold your breath.

Yeah, Dialer One is a decent replacement, it has some of the sense look and features

Can i replace the stock dialer with this? Looks nice, but themed version would be great!

How does it compare to this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784778
What about the HTC contact app, anyway one can install that?

What is the latest version of Fission? Can I get it in an HTC style black tool bar and stuff?

There is a Black Status bar. The newest version is 2.1.

Am I the only one that likes stock blur rooted and bootstrapped ? Fission gives me touch issues when using ADW as my home.

I use Launcher Pro and have no touch issues. The phone just runs smoother blurless

I don't think there is a "best" ROM out there right now. ROM's are more of a personal feel and what you like in a ROM. All of the ROM's out there are amazing, and have been built by amazing dev's. I personally am running Darkslide right now, but I have run Liberty 1.0, Liberty 1.5, Rubix 1.9.5, Rubix 1.9.7 Rubix Blurry 1.8, GummyJar 2.5, Fission 2.5.7, TranQ 3.7, Apex 1.4.... And this is all within just the last 2 months...
Give each ROM you are interested in a try for a few days or a week. Until we get the ability to run an AOSP ROM WITH a custom kernel (like Cyanogen), and even then, who is to say a BEST ROM, I think it is really what you the end user is looking for that makes a ROM a "best" fit for someone.

I agree with you. Probably shoulda worded it as "favorite" as apposed to best. I've personally tried most out there. Just wanted to know what people are running.

Due for an upgrade!!!

My buddy that I've know for years is with Verizon and is due for an upgrade. This guy is a computer nut that loves to hack, tweak, customize etc. My nephew has a DX an absolutely loves it. My friend has never had an android phone and asked me to point him in the right direction.... I told him to get the DX. I'm going to help him root it and flash roms..... I have an evo and know it inside out and have flashed everything under the sun. When he does get it what custom rom do you suggest that has plenty of themes and bells and whistles? My nephew suggested Rubix and I'm not familiar with ANY of the DX roms. I want to start my friend on the right foot with android and have a few roms ready to flash for him so he loves the android community as much as I do. So if anyone could let me know what the top 5 roms to flash that would be awesome. Thanks in advance and bababooey to you all

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Rubix Focused 1.9.7 is truly the fastest rom in terms of performance. Also the battery life is bar none. I use an extended battery and with normal use (not in my hand every minute) I have no problem getting two days on a charge. If you want a few extra features in an easy to use toolbox app than Liberty 1.5 is a great rom as well. I switch between the two whenever I'm bored and want a change. These are the only two roms worth a mention in my opinion if removing the blur and bloat is your intent.

This all depends on what you what you are looking for. I would suggest that you spend some time reading over the threads in Forum Droid X Android Development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=691
I have only used two ROMs but did a lot of research on the most popular.
I am currently using Liberty 1.5 and I am loving it. It's Liberty ToolBox allows some heavy, yet easy, customization.

Yeah he's the kind of Guy that will be a flashaholic. I know I'm flashing new roms a few times a week on my Evo and I'm sure he'll be the same. Just wondering if the dx will keep him flashing.

I've been researching before I flash a room. I'm rooted and ready, but I read on people feed back. so far i'm leaning towards apex. but I JUST found Liberty 5. so i'm still debating.

[Q] Liberty ROM GB

I know that the Liberty GB ROM has been released through the donate toolbox but I'm just curious as to what team liberty did. What is in the ROM? What does it look like? How does it compare to the regular .588 GB leak?
Thanks in advanced

Never had another GB rom on the X but I can tell you that the Liberty GB release is top notch. Awesome rom. My DX has never ran so smooth. Try it out. Worst case you sbf back...

Way better battery life for me than the "Official" GB leak.
I prefer naked ROMs to fancy ones, so this is working great for me. Pair it up with ADW EX and I have zero complaints.

Is it public yet, or is or still the 0.1 toolbox pro exclusive? I'm ready to get my hands on some liberty.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

The look and feel is pretty much similar to stock Gingerbread with the exception of being able to delete most unwanted apps. I think some Motoblur was also removed. In any case, I prefer Broodcomb 2.0, but, to each his own. I'm sure I'll jump on Liberty once it's fully up and running on Gingerbread.

its up to .3 as of yesterday.
Why not pay the $5 to support the devs?

Make sure u have rsd light or sbf flash setup before u flash it. Going from liberty 2.0.1 to liberty gb soft bricked the phone. Had to sbf to the latest froyo and then reroot reflash liberty gb.
So far so good...its my gfs droid so i didnt play with it too much. The way notifications are handled is great...not a lot of the blur is stripped yet so expect battery life to take a hit.

Most vanilla AOSP rom?

I tried CM7. I disliked ADW and the rom felt overly bloated. It also had significant lag waking up to the lock screen.
I'm looking for the most basic barebones AOSP rom out there. What should I look for?

I always just ran CM7 with Launcherpro and it wsa the fastest I've seen. I think there are a few out there without the optimizations that the CM team adds but I don't know that they would be any faster.

most stock would be omfg or evervolv. recommend trying salvagemod 1.2.1 though

Adwex rules. If you want to dump the lag from adw, just change the drawer background setting to black.

Check out evodeck

I'd say omfg is about barebones as you can get, be decks is a great one to use too.

I'm curious, what is bloated about CM7? I keep hearing this bloated statement in all the alternative AOSP ROM threads but what is this bloat?

OMGB is great, I love it. That's the rom I use when I'm craving some vanilla
Decks is also just as good. Both are basically as pure as you can get!!
And my battery life on both of these roms... excellent.

+1 on this. Decks rom is awesome. I still use version 1.0... It has been nothing but good for me. I went from flashing every other day or so, to at least 3 weeks now with this rom. I also use Tiamats 3.3.7 kernel. Awesome Battery life...(at least on my phone)

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

It just feels very heavy. It has settings and processes and customizations out the wazoo. Everywhere I looked in the rom it felt like there was special CM stuff. Which isn't that big of a deal, but the lockscreen lag made me want to throw my phone out the window sometimes.

Yeah, i know what you are saying about the bloated feeling of CM7. I also couldn't stand the lockscreen lag. That's the main reason I went back to Myn's Warm. I just started using Deck's rom a few days ago, and it is freaking awesome. Fast as hell, and feels so clean.

Decks rom is cm7 with a different launcher.

Deck's rom is the best vanilla pure gingerbread i've used so far.

I usually use CM7 with ADW removed using Frank707's the flashable zips.

Salvage is pretty good too I'm actually running 1.2.1 right now. I think I'm going to flash Deck's for a few days to see how it goes.

I have been using savaged Zen for about a week and it is perfect. GPS locks instantly. 4g works. No adw.... stock gb launcher. No problems.
I wonder why this rom doesn't get more attention.
