Help again.

I was just on liberty rom and now im back on stock rom and I've noticed that when I turn my phone on I have liberty instead of the Motorola. I still have the red eye and and everything. So how can I fix this. I have root explorer and terminal emulator if I can use one of those that would be great.

Are you sure it is not just the background image that may have been restored by Google's backup service. Check the system info to see what rom you are running.

I read my post and I think its not what im trying to say. I don't have Motorola when I boot up my phone it now says liberty. Then from there it goes into the droid x boot screen with the red eye. So the moto has been replaced with liberty.

I forget exactly where it is...but its probably somewhere like /data/local/logo.something... Like I said, don't remember the exact location, but its just the location that is overwritten when you switched back to stock.

Search the mkt for an app like boot logo changer. You can customize your own as well.

So I just rooted

Hey,
So I just rooted my DX. I have milestone overclocker and titanium backup as well as ROM manager and wireless tether.Now what do I do ? I'm sorry for being a complete noob but I'm eager to learn. I have heard a little about flashing custom ROMs and was just wondering if there was one that is like Gingerbread (2.3) out for the DX. I just got this phone a month ago and I ready to jump on the Rooting Wagon

I would recommend looking around the Droid X android development forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=691
Here is where you will find a lot of the discussion and posts from Developers about their ROM's. I think Fission (latest is 2.5.7) has a gingerbread theme set up. I believe there are others as well.
When it comes to ROM's its really a personal decision. In my opinion, all the bigs ones (Rubix, Fission, Liberty, Cobalt, GummyJar, Tranquility, Apex) are all AMAZING roms. It's really just what you like the feel of... I personally use Liberty 1.0 right now. Its a combination of Kejar31 and Jrummy's work. There is a "new" dev team, phoenixdevs, that will be picking up the GEM series that cvpcs (one of the most amazing android developers ever) had been doing.
To start, just make sure you have a nandroid backup from Koush's recovery, and then try out the different ROM's you are interested in and see what you like best.
If I can make a recommendation about themes...check out Bignadad's themes... He does work for Rubix, Liberty, and GummyJar. Here is his latest work:

If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you so much. You are such a big help. I have rom manager and did a backup but I was wondering how do I get nandroid?

No problem. You can grab it from the attachment below =)
then just move it to your phones sdcard. Use a file manager like Astro File Manager (free on the market) to browse on your sdcard. Press on the .apk file and then press the install option.
Then in your application menu, find the app, then click the first option (this hijacks the boot process the same way that ROM manager does). ROM manager has a built in version of this app and does the same thing. I just prefer to do it through Koush's app personally.
After you click the top button a pop up should come up with the word success (press this). Then click reboot recovery. From there, use the volume up/down buttons to move the green cursor that highlights the options, and use the camera button to select. Go down to Backup and Restore (press camera button to select), then press camera button when Backup is highlighted. (I am merely suggesting how I do it, as I don't rely on ROM manager for much personally. that and I dont remember how ROM manager manages backups... LoL).
It will do its thing, then bring you back to the main menu when it is finished. Click the camera button on "reboot system now" and you now have a working backup. They are stored on your sdcard in the following hierarchy: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups
Then you just use that same menu if you ever want to restore using the restore option instead of backup =D
I also use Koush's app to install my custom ROM"s and themes as well. You just go down to the option that is something like "install .zip from sdcard" and then you can browse your sdcard for any ROM/theme/mod you have downloaded and saved there...
Hope this helps! Ask if you have more questions, I'm glad to help =)

Wow you made this sound so simple that I just did a nandroid backup on my phone for the first time! I have had my X now for about 4 months its been rooted since day one but I've never had the courage to go forward with roms. So is it really that simple , just dl the rom and flash it with Koushs bootstrap? If I flash a rom but want to update via ota to gingerbread I would just flash my nandroid using the flash rom from. Zip option? Im excited to start with roms I never ralized it was this easy to get back to stock!

Also do you have to use titanium backup to backup apps to use in new rom, or can you use what is in the nandroid to reinstall apps on rom?

Yes it really can be that simple. just keep track of any backups you make, and always restore back to a clean nanroid for when OTA's come out, and you should be good. Just make sure if an OTA comes out and the bootloader version gets updated, don't go back to a nandroid with a different bootloader...you will brick your phone.
Example: on old ota (2.3.15) and update to 2.3.34. Then try to go back to 2.3.15=brick =(

Thanks this is great and so helpful

Depends on what you mean by 3g hotspot. There is "wireless tether for root" in the market for free. This allows you to tether using your 3g signal. The default Verizon app (don't think it is in Liberty...) requires a paid service... People have found hacks to get by this, but I don't recommend it, since it is cheating the service provider (Verizon) out of money if you hack their app.
I see no problem with wireless tether for root tho! Totally a dev's own work to get free tethering.

Thanks

I have been unable to root my DX, can you tell me where you got your information on rooting?

[Q] Custom Recoveries?

Is there not a way to permanently install a custom recovery on the dx? running bootstrap over and over again is really annoying... I used to use the incredible and that was a nice permanent recovery menu. I tried searching for it but all I get is this z4 root bull s%#t and no custom recovery. Am I just missing it or is bootstrapp the only way?

Lol I messed up on a rom flashing and now everytime I boot up the custum bootloading screen pops up. But other then that Idk if there is one

I figured it was... That's such bs I wonder what prevents it from being permanent? It seems like the htc incredible has a much more definite root process. everything else I've dealt with seems half assed. Like Z4 root and even the samsung root doesn't seem very permanent... I don't know its seems as if I have so much more control over my incredible. Maybe im crazy.

It's mainly the Droid X's locked bootloader. On 2nd init roms we have a more (and I use more very loosely) permanent recovery.
But until we have a solution to the locked bootloader nothing can happen to give us that completely permanent recovery.

Cm7 itself is great on the Droid X =P I am currently on MIUI, and I personally think it's the greatest thing ever. There are few roms that are truly blurless.
If you're looking for a stock based rom, I've heard wonderful things about DarkslideX. Of course, it's a blur rom, though.

Milestone X root

Hi everyone I have a rooted evo and I've rooted and unrooted a couple times and I am very compfortable with flashing roms because I do it all the time. My boss has a milestone x and she wants me to root it for her. I was wondering if someone could give me a list of roms that are stable and work well on milestone x also hotspot working! Also is there an amonra recovery I can put on. If anyone has the files I will need to root that would be great. On my Evo I just unrevoke then flash amonra and a Rom and its in business. Is there a big change on how to root this? Thanks a lot Droidxers I really appreciate it!

I recently purchased a milestone x the gingerbreak app worked for me
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I rooted mine using SuperOneClick root and it worked easily!
As for a working ROM I have read that it is a long process to make Droid X ROM's work with our APN's and it is possible to get stuck with Verizon's network so I haven't even tried it.
What I have done that has made the experience much different is install some apps and script's that 180'ed the stock ROM and make it feel like a completely different device.

Well this is what I did, I searched gingerbreak on 4shared . Com website, downloaded, open it, then press root. The root is successful when it turns off, if it doesn't work redownload another apk..
For the CMW recovory..I searched droid x bootstrapper, again on 4 shared..pressed bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery.
Far as custom roms go its not many that work on Milestone X, Liberty 2.0.1 does with no tweakin..
Miui and Cm7 works with a script kernel tweak seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=vxZ7cBt2K-Q you just have to delete the Verizon kernel script with notepad and save the changes..the exact tutorial is under "show more" under the video..that should work
