Which one do you think is better? I like them both, but am running Liberty. IMO they are probably the forerunners of the Droid X. No offense to any other dev out there. What's your opinion?
+1 Liberty 1.0
And I just came over from Fission 2.5.7 about 5 hours ago. Living it. The toolbox is epic. Diff. fonts? Custimizable pulldown banner? Which shows on the lock screen too btw oh and customizable boot image. w00t!
I'm here to stay. No offence to the fission team though. Fission was running flawlessly. It's just that its so awesome. I can't seem to start on homework..

You can do it yourself with Power Control Plus. It's totally customizable too.
Oh and +1 to Liberty. I love Fission too, but GJAR/Liberty are just wicked fast.

I enjoy fission. FRM is very useful and angdroid pushes out updates and listens to his community on a daily basis. He is a main reason i even considered fission. Its nice to know the developer listens, updates, and supports his followers very often.
liberty for me.
also a cheaper power control widget is: http://www.appbrain.com/app/extended-controls/com.extendedcontrols
I had been on Fission for a while before Liberty. Liberty is probably my favorite (for now) for the same reasons preusstang mentioned. These two have been the only two ROMs that I have ever kept for several days at a time. This may be the dominant ROM until we see a Gingerbread update. Unless Obsidian gets ironed out. *fingers crossed*
im on rubiX focused but i plan on flashing over to liberty tomorrow
I was a fission user, gave this a try minutes after it came out, im hooked! this is the best one yet! the toolbox is killer and the rom is just plain fast... I hav FM radio back too
Also a Fission user for awhile and now on Liberty, and only going to get better. It's on version 1.0, you know Team Liberty is only get better.
The toolbox is awesome and only going to get better with more apps to install. TONS of options. Liberty for me.
+1 Liberty
Both are good, but I agree...Liberty is faster and on;y going to get better!

one more for LIBERTY
I'm also on the LIBERTY wagon. Like most of the people here, I've tried nearly every ROM option for the X and GJAR/LIBERTY are the first that I loved from boot. Fast, Stable and easily customizable with the built-in toolbox are what I feel make LIBERTY the best ROM available now for the X. While the benchmarking apps should really be discounted because they aren't true indicators of performance, I have noticed a bump in scores since coming from other ROM releases to GJAR and even yesterday when I loaded LIBERTY for the first time, the scores went even higher. That's not my reason for liking it more but just something I've looked into and found interesting.
I applaud the work that ALL of the developers/development teams do as it isn't exactly easy peasy to cook up a ROM and make it work flawlessly so they all deserve our respect and thanks. In the same respect, the other ROM releases for the X are great when compared to stock and people like what they like but I feel that LIBERTY is probably going to be the one for me until we get some spicy, sweet GB goodness.
just finished installing liberty and i came from the rubiX rom like i stated before, and im also now HOOKED
this is the best 1st version release ive ever seen, like everyone has said, the toolbox alone makes this rom the best out atm,
this is the beginning of something amazing
I was on Fission for a couple of weeks, thinking of switching back to GummyJar and then Liberty was released. My favorite so far! But I'll always love Fission too.
toss up for me....
though i tend to lean a little more toward things that have been around longer, shown they will continue to do work, and not failed me over time.
Running Liberty right now, the differnce from the stock X is mindblowing.

I've been running the latest RubiX for a while now and recently switched over to Liberty.
Unfortunately, I've had significant issues resulting in the following problems: phone not having any access to the VZW network/not recognizing its own number, unable to get back into CWMod needing to SBF, re-flashing Liberty only to have the phone reboot randomly and then simply turn itself off over and over. And yes, I wiped repeatedly.
All of these issues happened within the first 2 days (obviously). Meanwhile, having switched back to RubiX, it's been running quite smoothly with no issues, whatsoever. Is it as fast? Nope. Is there as much control over the phone? Nope. Does it work without costing me time, effort and missed calls/texts/emails? Yep.
EDIT: Literally no more than 3 minutes after I wrote this I stumbled upon a thread concerning the kernel issue afflicting those that SBF'd the 320 full and then the 340 system files (as I had to do): I was running on the 320 kernel. So, using the TBH files, I updated to the correct kernel and have since re-flashed Liberty. I'm willing to give it another try now that everything's as it should be. It also makes sense that it's running even faster than before.
Just made the jump to the Droid X and wondering if custom Roms are available or if I chose a lemon that's been passed by. PPCG have about 1000 posts for the phone itself. Looks like Moto phones wont work on HTC roms and such. I'm pretty lost on the issue as I've spent years on winmo and never had to worry about custom roms. now I am. What's the status of the Droid X for development and life? Is it gone already and I should get a refund?
It's all here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=691
Rubix 1.9.5 is pretty good. GummyJar 2.5 is great. And Liberty 1.0 which is more of an extension of GummyJar is by far the best.
Hey armus, I'm new to the Droid X also but it looks like there is plenty of development going on. I'm using the liberty rom (you can find it in the development section) its only on version 1.0 but its running flawlessly on my phone. You will need to download the Droid x bootstrapped from the marketplace (I think it was 1.50) but its worth it. I was using gummyJAR until liberty came out just a few days ago.

I use Apex 1.3.1
There is usually a good amount of development done for this phone. When it came out the bootloader was looked at as a obstacle that couldn't be overcome....we now have root, themes, custom ROM's and overclocking... Pretty much everything people look for when they want to mod... only thing we are missing is custom kernels (CMod) which would be awesome... but not a deal breaker. Aliasxerog on twitter is working on developing a new init.. So hope for the bootloader hasn't been given up either.
The best ones in my opinion are fission and liberty. Hey both have an app that allows for many easy customization options

Not even that close. Yet.
I actually came over from the Samsung Captivate. I do miss the wonders of custom kernels, but frankly, Liberty gives me everything I want from my X, so I've come to realize the locked bootloader is not a big deal. If they crack it, great. If not, I'm sure the devs will keep cranking out amazing tweaks. You can also find some good info on X ROM's over at droidforums.net. Good community here. I don't regret my switch to the X one bit.
I am wanting to knw what are some of the best roms out there for the dinc. I like custom themes and a rom that get be really customized. Any suggestions. Post here please.
Dinc
CM7 for AOSP Gingerbread goodness, Super Z for Sense Froyo goodness. Both of these can be customized fairly well.
So both of these have custom mods for them. And are they stable. I'm running redemption revolution 2.3 now.
Dinc
MIUI rules all... lol jk, but it is sick. i used to need to change roms all the time and do all these themes and stuff until i got on MIUI and I haven't left since November'ish.
it is by far the most customizable rom out there right now. it allows you to theme and customize without having to flash zips and all that stuff, and you can easily go back to stock. theres an online theme app which allows you to download themes made by people all over the world. if you really want to get creative, you can open up the zips of the themes and mix and match stuff up to get exactly what you want.
it's quite the rom, you should really give it a try if you want customizability... and give it more than a day, see what it really has to offer before rejecting it simply because it doesn't have an app drawer.
edit: especially since its getting upgrade to 2.3 in the next week or so, things should get really interesting.. might be a little buggy here or there because of the transition period, but the 2.2 versions are pretty damn stable

CM7 has alot of theme's that ar installed through an app that is baked in, which makes it very simple. Super Z isn't as conveinent to theme, but it has been done. LauncherPro also adds some very big possibilities for theming. CM7 still doesn't have a "stable" release. But I haven't had a single problem with it over the past week. Super Z is solid as a rock also.
I will look in to the muiu rom. I have used it before but o couldn't find any battery or signal mods for it. Or any themes. I like theropy 6 bar signal and the circle battery. Cancell u get them for muiu rom
Dinc
Ive used mikfroyo z rr-engineered longer than expected. It is one smooth and stable rom with excellent battery(all day with mod to heavy use), using ziggys latest bfs w/o havs kernel. No fcs, no reboots. Remember, every rom worls a little different with every phone, but this rom acts like it was made for "my" phone. The only mod i have is the gb keyboard.

There are some cool UI changes and the overall experience seems much snappier since I updated to Gingerale (2.3 based ROM). I would recommend checking it out at least, just make a backup and revert if you don't like it But I bet you will.

I'm going to have to agree. Froyo was great to me, but when I jumped to GB... wow. Quicker, looks better and runs smoother. I just got a replacement phone yesterday with 340 on it and I can't believe I actually used it. Tossed 595 on right away But as Schmidty said, you can always roll it back. To each their own, though.
BTW... that Gingerale looks awesome. I'm gonna try it when I get home
Schmidty and Kobalt, is there that much of a diff? New to world of customizing. I do have 2 X's (one on wireless). Maybe I'll give it a try on that one. I'm sure I can find a thread somewhere. You both recommend Gingerale? My real concern is seeing ongoing threads of issues with these various versions of GB (don't know if gingerale falls in that category). But I'm constantly reading and trying to learn more. This damn phone and these forums has created a monster out of me. I tried my buddies original droid yesterday (totally stock). I almost vomited. He's too afraid to do any form of customization or rooting.
You say faster until you actually load it and it includes more crapware and really is barely faster than the custom gb rom you put on the phone.
I'll stick with a rom'd froyo with gingerbread elements in it till a better gb rom comes out.
Do you have a preference serial?

I would way prefer a clean GB install (Cyanogen anyone?), but I haven't seen one for my X that is as stable as .595.
So I will keep my .595 build (rooted and deoxed) until I see something better.
Gingerbread is almost here? Where have you been? I have been running gingerbread for about a month now. The "official" update is just a number
have any of you guys tried Liberty GB? I downloaded the donate version of Liberty Toolbox from the market and installed the Nightly Gingerbread ROM. So far, kinda stable.
Some bugs are:
-Maps crashes sometimes out of the blue
-Calendars won't let you modify or add items
But I have gotten stronger 3g and faster reception, and faster system overall...
Hope to hear a release date of the a final build Liberty GB

I'm in the same boat with the same build. Very happy with it, and not interested in the OTA update, unless .596 is shown to have some wonderful new improvement over .595.
Hey guys i rooted and might of deleted some bloatware do i have to sbf to get it back so that i may get the update
i will be testing the OTA in a few HRS ...now my question is will there be more devs jumping back on board wigh new exciting roms cause i just got this phone 2 days ago and i see no activity and cant even find liverty 2.0 rom or rooting instructions for .340

I just freeze the crapware with Titanium Backup and unfreeze it when it's time to update. Once updated, I freeze it back up again. Worked like a charm for the 2.2 OTA update.
Does anyone know when we can get the release?

I think everyone is waiting for MIUI and CM7. Can't seem to get here soon enough lol we seem to have some Devs looking into making the current MIUI version we have more "useable" hopefully they can get us a descent release where the basic features are stable enough to be use as a 'daily driver' if not, GB will be here shortly in a couple weeks n we'll get things rolling

Really? For me battery was great, but bad 3G and no 4G killed it for me. If I would have at least had ok 3G, I would keep it, but otherwise when I leave my house, I have no internet, which is not the case on stock (or close) Roms.
The MIUI we have has great features and all, but let's face it, it's not the most attractive looking rom.
I can't wait until we have the newest MIUI, I've used it on my old Evo and trust me it blows away the one we have now. You guys are going to be so happy once we have it.
I'd use it as my daily and never change it EVER if we had it.
Unless the sense port was finished, in that case I would use that. But otherwise new MIUI is great.

It's not until you use theme manager to download themes. You can customize boot animation, wallpaper, icons, ringtones, with one click. Also, if you don't like those, you can get newer ones online at miuithemes.com, but those may not use all their features on froyo.
I'm really feeling the excitement build in the Epic community and I think its great. Things have been much more positive around here lately as well. I can't wait to try out miui and cm7 after GB source comes out, and hopefully be able to help out finding bugs and testing.
A couple months ago I was ready to ditch this phone for just about anything (even considered downgrading to an EVO) but now I think I'll be happily running the Epic for a good while to come.
For anyone who is fed up waiting for the latest and greatest, try running SFR 1.2 (froyo) with clean kernel. I am very nit picky about my daily driver and this has been flawless. Performance is much better than stock, and everything works so well I just don't feel rushed to upgrade (phone or OS) like I used to.
Right now I'm using marcusants ACS Bamboozle, but will definitely switch when (maybe if) we get GB Miui.
I have also seen an improvement in our community. The useless flaming and bickering has been toned down to a minimum, if not, just completely stopped. Its great to finally be one big happy community like before. I can say SRF 1.2 is def my favaorite ROM and daily driver at the moment, but I'm definetly looking towards CM7 and MIUI. It'll still be a while to get some stable builds done even after source is released so I hope SRF 1.3 is dropped a bit before then so I can totally leave froyo with a bang! and according to qbking77 in the SRF 1.2 development thread, SRF 1.3 is still being worked on, as well as a possible new kernel thanks to their hard work, it'll be a lot easier to wait a bit longer for MIUI/CM7 lol

MIUI just looks like a Chinese iOS knockoff. :\
Since I'm also probably going to be waiting for the next Nexus (if I can resist the SGSII) I'm also looking forward to CM7 and MIUI. I've never used either before or any iteration, but the reports on them are always great.
I'm gonna go to CM7 and set everything up, make a Nandroid Backup, then go to MIUI and set everything up with a Nandroid Backup after, because those are gonna be the only 2 ROMs I'll use.
Do any of you know how to build a kernel? I've made files to test, but don't know how to compile. I combined some files from GS CM Kernel and Epic stock kernel. Just need to know how to make a zimage. I can post the files if you want to compile.
