In a few days, a shiny new droid x arrives at my door. I want to root and rom, take it from bloatware verizon locked efuse moto blur to as close as I can get it to pure android. I've taken a locked stock dell streak and got it where I want it, but where do I begin with a droid x? I am still pretty new to this. Please suggest.

Check out my thread for basics on getting started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940986
I havent covered all the roms, but highly suggest liberty 1.5 with the crystal X theme...
If you want a true (or as close to possible rom) try cobalt under droid x android development. Matt4542 built it from google source, not Moto's and he has some cool "extras" in it as well...

Thanks, I will start with those.

LauncherPro.
LauncherPro.
LauncherPro.
And......
LauncherPro.
Then check out Miren Browser, Car Home, Rock Player, Nesoid, Gmote, Multicon and PowerAmp.
After accidently bricking my phone and bringing it back to life, i'd recommend that you download
RSD lite
Motorola PC drivers for the Droid X
2.3.340 sbf (original verizon image or rom)
use the above programs should you accidently brick your phone.
Others would mention that you download the android SDK, i've personally never had a need for it.
download z4root, droid x boot strapper, and finally titanium backup.
Then from there read the many available guides and have fun trying the roms till you find one that you like the best.
Yes I plan on using launcher pro and rock player , I really like them on the steak, don't care much for the mirren browser. I also plan on downloading all the tools and drivers, and backing up the stock version straight out of the box before I start jacking with the x.

Fission Rom is a good "as close to stock as possible" vanilla rom.
That looks nice, I hope its compatible with the phone. I'm going to have to do some more reading and find out what software my x ships with. I'm going to try to get it the way I want before I start putting any info on it or using it for you know, my phone. I currently use a blackberry as my phone and have had a dell streak with no carrier service, just wifi since october. So I'm hoping to take the x out of the box, root and rom, then start trying to make it my phone. Instead of the other way around. Mod first, contacts and email setup later.

I'd recommend just enjoying your phone for a full week. Get used to all the blur stuff and see if you really hate it. If you decide its not for you, then I'd suggest z4root, bootstrap recovery and then Liberty 1.5. Theres so many configurations and other things going on in that rom that to me it is by far superior. Others are good, but to me, its just a complete package. Good Luck and welcome to the X Club!!

As others have said in the thread... It's great that you want to start modding right away... but here is some advice for jumping in:
1) Your phone will come with either 2.3.15 OTA (old) or 2.3.34 OTA (latest). It just depends on whether the phone was update before being shipped out. I would recommend getting the phone, and go into Settings--> About phone --> System Updates and make sure you on are the latest update.
2) Use z4root to root the phone.
3) Install droid X bootstrap and take a backup IMMEDIATELY. So many people just jump into things and forget to take a backup and have no recovery plan in the event that they break the phone of their own accord, accidentally make a mistake, or an install fails for a ROM/theme.
If you follow these basics you should be good to go as far as jumping in head first. Good luck. Check my thread if you are looking for some pointers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940986
if the question you have isn't answered in there..post a question in the thread and I will get back to you with an answer.
Good luck, and enjoy

Just a bit of advice, make sure to take a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM. Then you have "restore point" so to speak. I would recommend liberty 1.5 personally... And check out the Crystal X theme by Bignadad =)

New Droid X
Hello all,
I'm in the same boat here, with a 'new' Droid X which I plan on rooting and flashing over to Cricket.
My question has to do with installing the diag mode drivers under Win7 64-bit. The 32-bit drivers don't seem to work.
Thanks for any help.
fritzel67
I was able to do it without the computer, the rooting and flashing. I don't know what cricket is, but you can root, recover and rom with just the x. I've had mine 3 days and just messed with it off and on. Read a lot on this forum and looked up some things on the internet. I will try and help if I can but I really don't know that much about it yet.

I have been snooping around and finally feel comfortable enough to root this phone. She gets off work here in a few hours and were gonna run to the store and pick it up. She sees me messing with my fascinate all the time, flashing this and that and wants me to customize her phone as well. Mainly she wants a Pink theme. I was planning on flashing a custom rom then grabbing a theme, but the development on this phone is out of control lol, you guys have so many more options. I want to keep the phone as stock as possible, and want to retain the blur aspects. She isn't going to be able to troubleshoot the phone on her own if I'm not with her and she has problems, so something very stable, and again, stock-ish.
Would I be better doing a manual deodex on her stock rom and flashing a theme ontop of that? Or are your themes rom specific?

If something goes wrong and she is not able to trouble shoot it, things can get ugly pretty quick with a custom ROM and what not. Not that it happens all the time, not that it happens other then small bugs and quirks but I would be pissed if my phone was not propertly working and no one was around to fix it.
Themes are ROM specific for the X unless you go with a theme for stock ROM, which could be found here. Staying as close to stock, this would be your best bet. There are other icons and animations you can add with Ninjamorph and by placing files here and there and all it takes it being rooted.
I think a rooted, bloat free Droid X is almost just as quick as a custom ROM. You can add little icons packs, stock themes to really customize it. It would be as if you are running a custom ROM.
Thanks, if I can find a theme girlish enough for her I might just go with that.
If I root will she be able to receive ota updates? Im pretty sure after flashing custom roms she will no long be able to access the ota updates, but what about just plain ole rooted stock phones?

Great rom! Built by drod2169. If your gf decides she likes some of the blur components he also built a "blurry" version with some blur in it.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yes, Rubix is a great rom but you might also want to consider Liberty 1.5. It is also a blurless rom and so far has been running great on my phone. I have tried several roms including rubix and always come back to liberty. It is by far more customizable than any other rom out there. There are also a couple of girly themes that I believe were just ported over.
I would also suggest Liberty 1.5
Primarily so you GF could load this theme:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/li...theme-rockin-rainbows-liberty-has-landed.html
I put this on my Wife's D2 and she loves it.
She doesn't like that theme, but it is a very nicely done complete theme... Still leaning towards rubix, will research liberty more though.

I'm a big fan of liberty. Even if you don't like the stock theme, liberty has really the most intuitive theme system I've seen. Use liberty toolbox, go to themes, then literally look at the screenshot and tap install o. The one you want. No reboots, .zip files, anything. Super simple.

Hey guys, just wanted to express my love for the phone and let you know some things I did, that you could do too in order to love your beast a little more.
First off, I rooted at 1.26 and then updated and rooted again at 1.57 (used the root that says you need to root before going to 1.57)
Second, I got several mischievous mods and fun stuff that rooters can only have. (This alone made my phone twice as good...cough...tethering apk..cough...can't say what else)
Third, after figuring out how to make the battery run good, I downloaded a bunch of music and just enjoyed the sweet super loud speaker (covered) while I took a nice hot shower.
Lastly, and this took a while to figure out due to the fact that im no dev. I located on the android dev page the webtop via hdmi and made it so I could do just that. I tried doing the whole adb thing, I tried my own way with root explorer and the installer for 1.26. But nothing worked except for the 4.1.57 (w/chinese font fix) one. I highly recommend it! Go check it out!
Overall, I have a super fast (faster than the iphone 4
Good to see positive things about the atrix!
I love this phone as well its greatly sized and the screen is really nice and the haptic feedback is phenominal. The speed goes without saying and the battery life is good too.
So glad I switched from an iphone 4

I was like you when i first got my HTC Inc, i was able to root it and all and then do other kewl stuff with it. But when i attempted to install a rom on it, with no research done before hand as to how to properly do so, it really threw me for a loop for a good month before i actually started "asking" people for help on the forums. Overall, everyone was pretty responsive and quite helpful, so i encourage you to try out some of the psuedo-roms available. There are three thus far and they're called psuedo roms because our Atrix bootloaders are still locked, so until it's unlocked we can only make minor changes to the framework of the phone.
If you need any help as to how you can install any of the three available roms, here are some links that will prove quite valuable in your quest to further enhancing the aesthetics and functionalities your phone.
1. This link will help you get your phone rooted and retained after the update . But since you already have it rooted and updated, then you can immediately proceed to Part 3!
2. This link is for the GingerBlur v1.3 psuedo-rom.
3. This link is for the GreyBlur v2.1 psuedo-rom.
4. This link is for the GladiAtrix2 v4.2.3 psuedo-rom and it also has instructions on it =P
Of the three, i've only tried GingerBlur and GreyBlur and haven't had time to get around to GladiAtrix2 yet, but the ones i did try are both great. If i had to recommend one for you, i'd say go with GreyBlur just because of my personal preference, i like the theme and icon set better than the stock and GingerBlur ones.
Another great reason to try the Blur Rom series is that both roms have a "Blocked Advertising" feature! In short, if you have apps that give you pop-up ads, they'll be gone! And probably the one app you'll appreciate this the most for is YouTube, because you won't have those 15 second ads anymore =]
If you need any other help, don't be afraid to ask, the XDA community is very open and responsive =] Btw, glad to see you're enjoying your Atrix, it is truly a great device!

What? Is there some closer information available on that? And how to install it? Which raises the question: How to get ClockworkMod on the MS2. On my Wildfire it came with rooting (unrevoked). As for the MS2, I have no idea...
cwm for droid 2 also works for m2
So it should work if I simply install ROM Manager and let ROM Manager then install ClockworkMod?
You can install clockworkmod for droid 2 on milo 2, as an .apk, or from market.
droid 2 already has CM7
Thanx 4 info! I just checked on the CM pages: That's not an official one but a port, is it? CM does not list the Droid 2 in "supported devices".
So I just checked what they wrote on the "original Droid". Being new to the Moto section (I was using HTC Wildfire/Buzz up to now, and still am): Is the sbf_flash utility "generic", i.e. can I use the one posted there for the Droid also use on a Milestone 2? And what about the SPRecovery used there? If not, are those files available for Milestone 2 as well (or for Droid 2, if they could be used with Milestone 2)?
As for the text I'm referring to, it's this page from the CM Wiki.
they imho use 2nd init on droid2
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
I remember having read something like that, yes. Looked a bit shaky to me (the usual disclamers about possible brick kept me away from that). Furthermore, if I got it right, a boot then will always end up in the recovery, and the "real boot" only takes place after chosing to exit there (which would make "scheduled boots" e.g. via Tasker, impossible). Not that I would need those frequently.
But so that means no SPRecovery here, did I get that right? And as for the sbf_flash utility, what I gather (indirectly) from my googlin it, it seems to be "generic" as it is mentioned with multiple devices. I'm just not sure; but I guess I'll ask [mbm] on IRC lateron.
Hi-
I am a full-on newbee to the droid world (came over about two weeks ago from Blackberry). I like many aspects of the droid but can't stand the horrible battery life and the 80 some-odd programs constantly running in the background. My son tells me that rooting will solve this, but I'm finding so many different versions of how to do this, many of which Verizon has found ways to prevent. Anyway, I was just wondering if one of the experts out there can help sort me out.
The Android version I'm running is 2.2.1 (I can provide System, Baseband, Build, ERI and PRL versions if helpful).
Yes super one click can help solve You out with rooting problem, since your system was 2.2

To me ...reverting to stock is the simplest way.
If you absolutely don't want to lose your stuff ...you have to return it to stock piece by piece. Many threads about it already. Many.

Got the update too last night. I'm in Canada on Wind mobile.
My phone doesn't feel different...but it's 0.0.2 more. So it must be better..../sarcasm

While I can agree with this partially, if AT&T and Verizon didn't junk up the firmware and change stuff that didn't need to be changed, then we wouldn't really have a legit reason to root the phone. Dev Editions are for people who want exposed modules and all that jazz, and I feel like Moto should've made a MM phone that was Dev Edition, but can't have your cake and eat it too. Again, if AT&T and Verizon used the same firmware as T-Mobile did, then I'm sure a LOT more people, including myself, would be happy and not need root.

I'm happy the USB OTG is back and the phone feels snappier. Battery life (for me) is noticeably better after a significant decline with 4.4. Good that they fixed all the bluetooth volume issues I was having with my headset (basically one volume on the LG Tone+ and when connected to the car, voice notifications came into the phone and not out of the car speakers). Also looks like some notifications have had some tweaks, such as picture auto-backup now shows a thumbnail of some of the images that were backed up. It's a REALLY good update for me.
Only thing that bugs me so far is that when you remove the USB storage, you get a notification that stays there until the next reboot.
I already had great battery life. But it seems to have gotten slightly better. Not marginal, but it was enough for me to notice. Basically getting a bit more out of a 100% charge.
