I'm about to root a friend's Droid X and was wondering which gingerbread ROM should I flash on it. I'm an EVO user, so this is my first time posting in this Droid X forum. Thanks for any info...
No gingerbread for Droid x yet.

LOL Wish me luck explaining this to my friend! He is one of those that can't really tell the difference. He saw a video on YouTube where someone claims it's Gingerbread on Droid X but I knew too well that it's 2.2 with a GB theme. He won't understand this and just say, your EVO has Gingerbread, I want it on mine phone too. LOL Oh well...
On that note, what is the best 2.2 ROM for the Droid X?
Yeah... no 2.3 yet. P3Droid is close, but he hasn't been able to root his build yet, so we don't have anything. We've got themes and things ported like the keyboard but no official builds.
There's a pretty decent selection of DX roms, but they're quite similar. The overwhelmingly popular one right now is Liberty 1.5. The toolbox would be perfect for your friend as it allows themes and mods to be done really simply, as it's all GUI based. I've been running it since its release. I'd encourage you to check it out.

Libery, Apex, Fission and Darkslide are among the popular ones right now. I have had the best luck as far as speed goes with Fission and Liberty. Cyanogenmod is much anticipated for the DX and should be hopefully available soon.
Apex and liberty are my favorites

Hey guys, the fun with my Eris was fun while it lasted despite the bugs. slowness, freezes, trackball stopped working etc. Plus i really missed having a physical keyboard. So I ended up falling and cracking my Eris screen which really pissed me off. I called verizon cancelation department multiple times threatening to go to sprint and get the HTC Evo for 200 bucks from raido shack, it took 3 seperate calls and 2 different supervisors and finally they gave the option of any android phone they have available at the new customer rate (so DroidX, Droid2, Droid Incredible0 for 199.99 minus 100. So I went with the the Droid2 not realizing its not rooted yet, and doesnt look like it will be easily rooted. So should I keep the Droid2 which i REALLY want cause of the the physical keyboard and Froyo2.2 that isnt hacked together like it is on the Eris, and real Flash 10.1, or should i cancel and go with the DroidX. My guess is the Droid2 will be rooted and we will be able to put custom roms on soon, is this true or just a pipe dream.
Any real decent well thought out feedback would be appreciated.
droid x may be rooted but it dosen't have custom roms yet...
Well I got my Droid2 via FedEx today and I really don't care that the phone isn't rooted, this phone frickin' rocks.
Agreed. I had to exchange my LG Ally out to something faster. And I am glad I did go to the Droid 2. Its really fast.
I just upgraded my eris to a droid 2 and the droid 2 is incredible!!!
I've used the droid x a few times and the droid incredible a few more times and the droid 2 just blows them out of the water!
Also I love the new keyboard and if you use launcher-pro (with the new update) the phone feels even faster+ you still get the cool ninja-blur widgets without the annoying launcher.
it's just an awesome phone.
I don't want to be a party pooper but I was tired of the buggy Eris as well. I rooted, installed a fantastic froyo rom, and am completely satisfied now. Fast, stable and badass! I wouldn't say no if someone gave me a Droid X/2 but I certainly will not be pushing for one.

Eris user coming to Droid 2 tomorrow 9/29/10
Well Veri$on is sending me a Droid2 because I have had 4....let me count them...1...2...3..4....phones. (I wanted a Droid X but no dice)
I have been reading about how to root and install Bootstrap Recovery. Can someone guide me to a FAQ and suggest a good ROM? I know that the Droid2 comes with Froyo 2.2, and I read that there is a 2.3 update for the Droid X. Is there one for the D2?
I have rooted my old Eris but it seems to me that the D2 is a little bit complicated.
Thanks!
2.3 was the Motorola version, not the android version.

Here's a link to the thread for the MIUI Chinese Rom... I was wondering if any talented devs could possibly port this to the Droid X for us. I have a friend who has a Nexus One and said it is a really nice rom, just needs to be translated to English and ported to the Droid X.
Here is a link to the site: MIUI Chinese ROM
Here is the direct download link: Download ROM

I know someone that's running it on HTC incredible and apparently its capable of over 300 homescreens.
300 homescreens lol, no thanks! This rom does look awesome tho, Im looking at the launcher, a complete rom does not look possible @ this stage.
300 homescreens is just ridiculous I mean what do most people need with more then 10-15 home screens anything more is overkill
But yes this along with several other rims are nice alas motorolas chokehold on there devices kills most peoples will and desire to develop anything for there devices

Running this on my Incredible at the moment and it is hands down the best ROM I have used to date on my incredible. Just bought a DX today and its a bummer I wont be able to use it anymore
I would pay some big money for Miui on my X..
Just got my Droid X today. Got her all rooted and ready for some sweet MIUI lovin

Kinda overboard for your first post don't you think?
p)
i wish i knew how to do it and id do it myself.
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

NexTheme and UD (Ultimate Droid)

Apex1.4.1 and liberty are tops
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.

Is 2.3.20 the latest system version for the D2? If its not is it worth upgrading and re-rooting?
Sent from my Droid 2 running Apex 1.4.1
You can't upgrade until motorola decides to OTA, which you won't receive if you're rooted.

Gotcha, thanks for answering my noob question. Now going to look up OTA.

This is just a rumor, but I read that the DX might get 2.3 soon. IF its true, that could mean the d2 wouldn't be far behind.
Once again, THIS IS JUST A RUMOR I HEARD, so don't put too much stock in it

Supposing that happened...I would have to un-root to get it. Then would re-rooting from a new system version be possible? Or would we have to wait for a new root to come out.

Well luckly I just found out I have an early upgrade available, and my new every two in 6 months, so ILL GET GINGERBREAD ONE WAY OR THE OTHER!!! Lol
Sent from my DROID2
yeah, P3Droid, the first person to report on this, said the D2G and DX might be seeing updates, he said that moto considers the D2 to the "red headed step-child" or something like that and wont be seeing updates, he is a very reputable person and isnt like nenelod who was trolling us, when he says it, its probably true
That's just depressing. I just got my D2 and opted for instead of D2G thinking it would have some more love. Guess I should have done more research. At least we have some good Devs. I helped my friend root his Devour and they are really hurting for ROMs.

I was wondering what kinda new dev is being made on the Gingerbread on X is doing. I read a few forums and see that GummyJar 3.0 has come forth with its cooking. I currently run blurrybread. Just wondering if anymore cooks would like to make any post on what there doing.
Drod has recently announced that he is only going to be making roms for the thunderbolt now, so blurrybread was his last for the DX. There is going to be a new apex, gummyjar, and liberty all coming out very soon for the latest gingerbread leak
