I was trying to load Linear theme and it failed..... I then reloaded Gingerbread theme and now my drop down menu text will not change, it always says Liberty v 1.5. I've tried fixing permissions, rebooting, a bunch of other crap. Suggestions.... btw one of the best roms I've ever used for droid x, though I do miss my bugless beast.
Try going into clockwork and wiping cache..or if you made a backup of stock liberty or of the theme you had previous to all this, you can restore that.

I just installed RubiXFocused 1.8.6 yesterday. I installed it by booting into Clockwork Recovery (I think that's what it's called) and installing the zip file. It is a brand new ROM for the Droid X and I am very happy with it. The only thing is that it has a white status bar and I think it would look a lot better with a black one.
I looked online and found that the easiest way to do this would be through ROM Manager. So I got ROM Manager and tried to install Blackmodz Black Bar. Everything works until it reboots and tries to install the update. About halfway through I get an error showing a triangle with an exclamation mark inside and the android next to it. And then the phone reboots with no update.
I am in bootstrap recovery when I do all of this. Any help??
That black bar that you are trying to install is not compatible with Rubix at all. Rubix uses a completely different framework. When you try to install that black bar- it is trying to replace the Rubix framework-res.apk. Thankfully you were "unsuccessful".
Might I ask- are you keeping up with the thread on Rubix 1.8 over here...
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/drod2169-x/97764-often-imitated-never-duplicated-focused-1-8-6-a.html
...it is very helpful and you will be able to find modifications that work in this thread. Now that you are running RubiX you must be careful with any mods that you do to your X bc Rubix is using a framework-res.apk that is unique to the Rom and not shared with any of the other roms or the original Moto rom. that means most mods need to be specifically designated for rubix 1.8.
hope that is helpful and didn't come off sounding superior. I hate being talked down to but noticed that inadvertently I can sound that way.
good luck.
Not at all. thank you so much for your help. I had not seen that thread and it is super helpful.

Can someone please let me know rubix 1.8.9 is more stable than 1.8.6 ? I have a rooted droid X running OTA 2.2. I have YET to install a custom ROM, and am a little apprehensive, as I do NOT want to BRICK my phone. Also, can someone please verify the correct procedure to install a custom ROM. I have Clockwork Recovery Manager installed, as well as Koush's bootstrap for DX. I believe I have to boot into Clockwork Recovery and perform - wipe data/wipe cache, and then install zip from SD (once I put the ROM zip file on the SD).then sit back and let install..continue..Am I missing something? Thanks for any help/advice.

In ROM Manager (not FRM, Clockwork) under Fab's releases there is a zip to go back to stock fonts. I've always used that. Never tried it when using Fission, though. Thankfully, I haven't ran into a theme that changes the fonts with Fission. I also prefer stock fonts.
Ok didn't work what would I have to do to completely wipe the phone back to stock clear off all my personal stuff back to like out the box
you could try slapping another theme on top of it, like the stock one or the gingerbread one, can;t make any guarantees but thats how i got the stock icons back after a little mishap
So I decided to give Tranquility a test and see how it compares to my currently running ApeX. I followed the usual procedures, data wipe/factory reset.....twice.
then installed TranQ and the TranQ App update.
The phone then boots up and freezes on the animation screen. So i reset it, then it won't boot at all past the Logo screen. Randomly it decides to boot up fine, but then 30 seconds of android and it reboots and freezes up.
So for some reason it won't let me boot into clockwork recovery, so i decide to just do the system only SBF it and be done.
So I've SBF'd it twice now, the first time it did a random restart and froze, and also kept the tranq boot animation. I did the 2nd sbf and it's got rid of the animation screen and back to droid, however the tranq boot logo is there.
I haven't proceeded to reactivate the phone yet, and just leaving it alone it hasn't restarted itself. I'm planning on rerooting and reinstalling clockwork recovery and see if i can get one of my old backups going.
But, any theories to what would have jacked it up so bad? and why the stock moto logo wasn't put back when SBF'ing?
update:
rerooted just fine using Z4, installed clockwork recovery just fine too.
Right now I'm doing a data wipe and reinstalling ApeX 1.3.1 from scratch from clockwork recovery. Then I'm gonna restore one of my backups.
Hopefully all goes well
update:
recovered to my backup just fine. Still didn't get rid of the tranq boot logo, thankfully i had a zip stored away of the stock logo so I installed that.
All is now well in the world.
Lesson from this......if it's working fine, leave yo sht alone!
Logo is stored in different place then a system sbf will update. That's not tranQ 's fault. I still use gummyJar though. Too much blur in TranQ for me
I had the exact same problem when I went from fission to tran q. I literally had to do the. 320 sbf then the. 340 sbf to get tran q to install right. Didn't like it and put fission back on
yea i had to do the same thing comming from fission, and because of it i am just staying on tranquility until Obsidian is more stable, then GOODBYE BLUR :-D
The trick to installing TranQ is to install it over stock. If you try to install it over another custom ROM you will have nothing but problems.

I feel your pain, but you shouldn't be discouraged (as long as you Nandroid, Nandroid, Nandroid!).
I also spent a week fiddling with TranQ before giving up due to random reboots. But I went ahead and installed GummyJar. It was worth it!
When you're ready to climb back onto the horse, you should try GummyJar. If you prefer a no-bur ROM, it's probably the best in terms of speed and stability.
well i had tried Gummy before, but it was a little buggy for me. Phone would restart after calls, hardware buttons wouldn't always work and a few other little things.
I actually just switched to Fission and it's pretty brilliant thus far. No problems at all, and the fission manager helps a lot

IT IS TranQ's fault. It is the only ROM that does this. Before you get rid of Tranq, you have to go in to the tools and set your boot logo back to stock. I have flashed many different ROMs and it is the ONLY ONE that makes sure to "leave its mark," LITERALLY.
had same problem when I went from fission. I had to sbf .32 then sbf .34 then did the tran q and it worked just fine after that. I didn't like it to much so I went back to fission. To get rid of the tran q I just did the same sbf method I did and went back to fission.

You're right on w/this..Its too bad I found out the hard way..
Hello, I rooted my phone about a week ago successfully. I then installed the fission 2.5.7 Black edition which I like a lot. Then I decided I need a backup, a clean backup that is of none my personal settings, of the original stock android, and as well as to verify the original version of my android OS. I did that successfully as well. Wanting to see what Gummyjar looked like I installed it successfully as well and gave it a good look over. I then decided to go back to my fission 2 .5 .7 Black edition and this is where my trouble begins. Using ROM manager I click on the restore manage backups like I've done many times, click on the backup I wish to restore, it asked a couple usual questions then reboots. Within a few minutes I get the GummyJar boot logos, and goes right into the GummyJar OS. As though I did not do anything but a regular reboot. No matter what I do, try to install a new ROM, it just reboots right back into GummyJar. While I am new at this I have installed a couple ROMs successfully, as well course, rooted my phone, however I don't know what to do here or if there is something inherent with GummyJar that I need to do. I could I think, do a battery pull and bring up my emergency menu, but thought I would try this forum first. GummyJar is nice but I don't like being stuck with, even if I wanted to keep it. In any case I do not want to keep it I like fission 2.5.7 Black edition the best of them all so far. Original OS 2.3.20
Now Gummyjar
Trying to get back to fission 2.527
Used fission rom manager 1.2.4 lite < installed fission 2.5.7
Used Rom Manager 3.0.0.7 to create and restore roms
Any Help? Thanks much
Steve
Guess that did it
I deleted and reinstalled Fission lite and rom manager. Much to my surprise this SEEMED to do it. I have a hard time thinking this fixed my issue but it is working now and I am back to fission 2.5.7 black edition. So if this helps anyone else good, still though was a strange problem.
Thanks
Steve
Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience so far. I can't post on the MIUI page because I don't have enough posts, so I'll share here for anyone interested.
For anyone wanting to try MIUI for the DX, here's my experience, some tips, and suggestions.
-Beware, installing or trying to install ANY ROM may brick your phone. although it's very rare and unlikely to be unable to find a solution to problems, it can and has happened. so take caution and read instructions and so-forth carefully.
Some history of my DX. I soft-bricked my phone back in the early months of the DX trying to deodex it to install themes. It was stuck on M logo for 2 days before i learned enough from scratch to find out what an SBF was, where to find it, and how to flash my phone back to stock. Ever since then these nice folk on XDA-developers forums and other droid forums have helped me successfully mod my phone many times, through Q&A, detailed instructions, and a little luck.
I've rooted my phone using the command method, Z4Root, and several other processes. Some were hard to figure out, some soft-bricked my phone, most were easy as pie. I'm on a Z4Root atm.
The first successful ROM I installed was GUMMY-JAR. I liked it, it was good to me. nothing like the comprehensive ROMs out now though.
Then I jumped to Liberty 1.5, Liberty x.x etc... Liberty was awesome, but was still basically Froyo with advanced options. I loved it.
Now, just today, I've installed MIUI. And let me tell you, its amazing!
For anyone running Froyo Liberty ROMs, I believe that you can install MIUI right over the top. I didn't think it was going to work, as I hadn't seen anyone mention if it did or not over the top of Liberty 1.5.
If you want to install MIUI, go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181486
You MUST be rooted, and be running FROYO, NOT GB! You must also have the Droid X bootstrapper.
I won't give instructions, as I'm not qualified to do so. But I can tell you what I did from Liberty 1.5. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! 1) I downloaded the MIUI ROM from the above XDA post to my SD card on my phone. 2) I clicked 'bootstrap recovery' on the DX bootstrapper app, then 'reboot recovery.' My phone booted into clockwork recovery mode. 3) wiped data/factory reset. 4) cleared cache. 5) install from SD Card. 6) install MIUI.zip i downloaded from the link i posted above. let it run it's course. rebooted. DONE.
It's really that easy if you are running the DX stock Froyo kernal.
Keep in mind with MIUI, it does NOT auto-sync your Google account. you need to go into the options>>accounts/sync and add your Google account. You can then re-install apps from your backup or just re-download them. Make sure you've synced your contacts with your Google account so they will be there when you add your Google account.
Some thoughts on MIUI...
There is NO STOCK APP DRAWER. I recommend ADW launcher or Launcher PRO. The MIUI launcher inst bad, but it's like iOS in that there's no app drawer. It's just a bunch of screens with all your app icons like an iPhone.
You can download theme's and customize themes through settings>>personal>>theme manager. MIUI allows you to change fonts, boot animation, boot audio, lock-screen style, status bar, icons, launcher, wallpapers, text style, dialer style etc. There's tons of pre-made packages, but you can also change them all individually and create one you like best. You can do all of this directly from the settings menu including looking up new themes, downloading them, and applying them.
MIUI is running on 2.3.4 GB. So it wont say 2.2 anymore after you install. (I believe the kernal is still Froyo though? Please correct me if I am wrong)
I really hope this helps some of you newbies. I am thankful for all of you that have made posts like this that I have found useful in the past.
Note- some people are having issues installing MIUI. They are getting bootlooped on the M logo for some reason. I have no idea why this is, it worked perfectly for me first try. Just remember to follow the instructions on the ROM page, and that you are running the correct version of Android. You shouldn't get a boot-loop if you do so.
Hope this helps!
i have a question.... and this question is what will decide if i keep this or go back to liberty gingerbread....
how the hell do i flash anything.. i can't even install clockwork mod without getting bootloops.... and i'd love to flash certain apps onto this.... but if this can not be done i will have to go back.... the only thing going into recovery does is use the retarded original recovery... and that is a big deal.. if i ruin my phone on the go and need to pullup a backup i can not do this with this rom and i will end up phoneless until i can get to a computer to sbf

What exactly are you asking? "Flashing" is the process of basically overwriting your current Android OS with an Android OS SBF. If you are trying to install MIUI, you cannot do it with Gingerbread installed on your phone. "You MUST be on CyanogenMod 7 or .340 Froyo to flash this rom!" (MIUI)
If you want to install MIUI, i think the best bet would be SBF flashing to stock DX 2.2 .340 FROYO, re-rooting, then using the DX boot-strapper to boot into recovery. Then installing the MIUI .zip from SDcard in the recovery menu. Everything should work fine after that. Rmember you CANNOT go into recovery using DX boot-strapper once this ROM is installed. you CAN go into recovery with this ROM using ROM-manager. This is what I have experienced so far, and what others have said also.
no.. i already have the rom installed... i just want to be able to go into recovery without needing to be booted up.
i'm trying to install some zips through clockwork such as the old blur camera and a few other things... i will install rom manager and see how it goes from there... i love the UI of this rom but as far as being comfortable and stable.. liberty gingerbread has my vote as of now
i've cleared my cache and data several times and i get force closes alot. and this is a clean install coming straight after an SBF.
with liberty gingerbread i had the ability to set it so every phone reboot, even if a battery pull, would boot directly into clockwork mod.. making it easy for me in case i installed a zip that would get me into bootloop
Hmm, sorry mate, I dunno what to tell ya. Try looking aroudn forums or startign a new thread. someone more knowledgable than you or me will help you out.
thanks for everything though!! this really is a beautiful rom and i'd love to stick with it... i'll bite the bullet for the meantime and post around to get some help... i'd love to post in the developer section but i don't have enough posts yet.. haha

You need to install Rom Manager, and select flash Clockwork Recovery. Make sure you select Droid X (2nd Init). Then you can reboot into recovery with Rom Manager :-D

but the problem is that i would like to be able to go into recovery without having to do it through an app... i'd like to make it so every reboot (including battery pull) makes it boot into recovery. thats how i had liberty gingerbread doing it... if not.. i can live with it.. i'll just be a little more careful on what i'm installing
Just wanted to chime in about MIUI rom, I just flashed it yesterday and am ABSOLUTELY loving it thus far. I had no trouble at all installing the rom what-so-ever. I used ROM Manager to do the whole thing: downloaded newest ver. of MIUI, backup current ROM, wipe data and dalvik. Let it run its course and it rebooted and was up and running in no time flat!
