What rom to use for droid x

Ok Ive been Searching and trying to see videos on what is the best Rom to Use I want a fast phone stable. with not so many issues .. .. be able to use Tethering is important then camera usb charge with computer also e mails , so whats the best to use ?? is there any list or poll where i can see how roms rate ?? thanks ??

I had the same question for a few days. Digging around here and other forums, I decided
to go with Rubix. It's very performance based. Haven't had any problem with it. I
installed 1.8.9 about 20 days ago and updated to 1.9.0 on Sunday. No complaints.

that sounds good es rubix blurless .. and where did you get the intructions to intall it ..

928droid is awesome that's what im running

ok in my dx i havent done much i just i just rooted to be able to used wireless conection .. now there is a new version ..should we update to Droid X 2.3.340 then try a rom .. or should i leave it the way it is? what are the advantages of the upgrade . and something tha i try to find out searching but i cant get the answer maybe im google it wrong .. but what are leak and non-versions... ??? thanks ....

I prefer Team Black Hats TranQuility 3.6 Rom. It allows you to add whatever blur features you want straight from the TranQ toolbox. Very fast and very stable.

major lag (very annoying)

I love my galaxy s but have one annoying problem with it...
When I click on the home button, it takes about a second for the screen to turn on. This is extremely annoying as you can imagine. I expect the screen to turn on from standby immediately... When it is on charge it will turn on immediately.
This problem is very noticeable... is anyone else experiencing this?

Are you running stock rom? The Samsung 2.1 and 2.2 are notoriously laggy. Get lagfix or flash a custom rom and your system will zip along

i'm on a custom rom and i've got the same problem...

I found darkys really sped my phone up that runs voodoo lagfix. Currently running CyanogenMod 7 which is still beta but I've been running it for a week with few probs (just dont install the 0312 version it unmounts your SD cards) the 0311 nightly with the bilboa kernel of the same date is good, flashed the 0317 CM7 today and that runs well.
Cm7 is super smooth and fast, try it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

i'm now on miui, the fact is that this is still beta, but with CM7 it should be working really smooth and fast... maybe it's because of some wrong kernel or something, i don't know, i've got his problem since i moved on to 2.3, even when returned to 2.2.1, the lag was still there :/

Really? I've never had that problem. When things go wrong for me I usually flash stock froyo with Odin then reflash custom and all is well. You using mambos MIUI? That's not even alpha is it?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

beta 4 right now when i moved back to stock froyo it was even more laggy than bofore, i flashed miui on this froyo and the problem is still there, of course it's not as laggy as on stock JPY but i hate the fact that it is there, no matter how small it was

Seriously mate I don't think that MIUI ROM is even close. They don't have any of the source so its a bodge. Try flashing stock then flashing back to Cm7 and I'm sure you'll be fixed
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Thanks for the replies guys.
I used to run Darky's all the way up to 9.3. I was happy but saw someone else's galaxy s which seemed to switch on immediately and I wanted that. So in attempt to fix it I went to the Ultimate rom... At the start it seemed to have done the trick, but now back to normal. Laggy standby turn on

yea, i know you're right, but when i first flashed miui i fell in love with that rom, for me it's perfect even with so many bugs i hope they'll deal with them soon and then i will have the most perfect of all perfect roms ever

hm that's weird for me, when i had ultimate everything was ok, but maybe if i would have it little bit longer it would be the same situation as you had

I've not tried ultimate. Darkys is solid but Cm7 feels right somehow, real gingerbread smooth and fast. I loved the MIUI music player on Darky s and would like it back on CM 7 but at present its stable enough for me. Preferred the stock Samsung camera app though. Wish we could get that in cm7
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

can't you take the camera.apk from stock and put it into the cm7? i'm not sure if it can be done but i think i might work

No I don't think cm7 will run any Samsung apps as its based on aosp and all the Samsung apps are tied to ****wiz. The devs could tell you more but I think that's why

What are you ****tin on about? MIUI is stable enough to use as an everyday rom. Most bugs are share across CM7 and MIUI as MIUI uses CM7 base. It's a closed source meaning they don't openly share the code with the public and non-MIUI developers.

So anyone know why this lag is happening? A certain app maybe? I've had it with Darkys and Ultimate...

Really? I might give it a try - but do the MIUI apps work? Last I checked they didn't. No point having MIUI without their lovely apps, is there?

Have you tried entering 3-button recovery mode to format the SD card, clear cache etc etc. Installed a particular program right after you flash? Have you changed the animation speed from slow to fast?

Most of their apps (at least in the rom) work.
You can just install on top of CM7 and then uninstall if unhappy. Just make a backup first

Will clear cache delete any of my files?

Well I will give the MIUI a go over the weekend (not risking it now need phone for work tomorrow) and see for myself. I've tried several ROM s and keep flashing back to CM 7. Just wish that we could get a new bilboa voodoo kernel for this 0317 build because it seems the best yet. I was taking photos today for work on the 0311 build and the camera was glitching like hell, downloaded the latest build and the camera was fine, there's progress right there

rach' cm7 54

rach"s cm 54 still has the sd card safe to remove bug....still waitin to get fixed b4 using..

First, this is a no-sense thread. Why don't you use the "official" thread of that ROM?
(Edit: Noticed now you only have 1 post, so you can't post at Dev forum, sorry)
Second, SD safe to remove bug is only fixable when bootloader is bypassed and we have custom kernel.
(Edit: Just noticed that in this thread they claim that their ROM has SD Safe to Remove bug fixed, you can test it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223)

hi mate,
then i would recommend this rom
[ROM] MiniCM6-1.0.0 *Released*, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.3 port for the X8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
nearly full stable and fast too!
i use for 1 day now and doesn't have any sd card remove.

...im using same mate, just started this morning...im still waiting for any working cm7 for x8...

racht fixed it apparently from the fix made by nobodyatall
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513

**** cm7. CM6 is best available atm.
On rachts roms camera is disabled, and it's not so stable and smooth as mincm.
Be patient till bootloader is cracked

I realt like ratch work but...
If you want version 2.2 cm6 get mini cm of nobadyatall (everything works but some phones , we don't know why, brick due to over clock)
Else if you want 2.3 cm7 get ratch's (battery drain is not an excuse... don't put live wallpapers and close background programms running, don't work camera and radio)

About that battery drain problem... Whenever I try a new Racht rom I always have a horrible drain after 1st boot... thing is that after some "SU app" reboots I noticed that the battery drained smoother by far. I tried rebooting the phone myself after 1st boot of cm7-41.2 build and the battery drained smoother and slower again. I'm not saying that's a solution...I just noticed that on my X8... Besides, Racht said he made some adjustments to the task killer and a "user invoked"-reboot always made the phone run smoother when looking laggy. No SD bug reboots since 7.41 even with OC...

...'safe to remove sd card bug' is still there..tried it twice..i dont know why he said its been fixed...still waitin'

It is fixed. I am using this ROM six days and I don't have "SD Card is safe to remove" reboot when I exit Root Explorer or other app which needs root

tried it...bug still there..can u tell me how to install it properly, maybe i did something wrong..install it from xrecovery back up..

Download latest version of ROM. I think that you have older version. I installed it normally: full wipe then restore

i think its the latest version..its from the april 25 update..the bug is there even at start of set up..i made full wipe but it still there..need some help..

Try to write in racht's thread how did you get these reboots

i already did, he told me to format the sd card from phone...its workin now..thanks to racht and to all of you guys...

i'm using the MiniCM RC1 becase CM7 54 camera dont work...
If i want change MiniCM RC1 to MiniCM6-1.0.0 *Released*, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.3...i have to use the service update and back to 2.1 of SE first?

Tw4 working smooth on jvk stock.

Just installed tw4 on stock jvk rom with no issues at all.
Much better than tw3.

That's great... now how about adding some useful info, ie: where, how etc?

Just put phone in download mode and with Odin installed voodoo hacks gingerbread kernel with reboot unchecked.
Removed battery and into recovery to install tw4 zip.
From recovery chose reboot in download and with odin re added stock jvk kernel with reboot checked. That's all.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Does this work if you've installed some skins, like the Crysis Sensation? I saw that someone said there could be some crashes etc if using TW4. Anyone noticed any problems?

As stated in title, stock jvk from samfirmware and no themes. Led fix and crt off animation the only add ons.
Totally smooth. 2 homescreens only and no fc's.
Not sure either but I used the first zip in the link and it might be deodexed. Still it is very nice.

hurray! but is it like the ACTUAL sgs2?

I update TW4 to the last version present in its thread, it's simply amazing, fast , smooth and beautiful, the best you expected from the new galaxy s II, the amazing thing is that work BETTER than TW3 on our galaxy S!
I suggest to try it, without doubt
It work fine on JVB, i use a deodex rom stock (made with kitchen ;-) ) with CF root 3.1 kernel
It work fine also with modd like 5lockscreen (but read the topic before try)
You can also continue to use crt off, glow scroll and other fix already installed.
before flash i suggest to put in SD card a "sos package" to use in case of bootloop so you can flash back to your configuration.
Also suggest to install alternative launcher you prefer, and DON'T check "use always" so if you got problem with TW4 homescreen, you can push back key, choose other launcher and maybe try some fix direct with root explorer (for example)
i hope you find my post useful!

Seems like it to me. Just like the tw4 clips on YouTube. Multitouch works perfectly and all widgets and screens act the same too.
To add more apps to dock you have to tap on apps icon. Then menu then edit. Then add the desired app icons like phone, messages,etc by holding on app and dragging it next to app icon as the rubbish bin is now in the usual area to add icons in tw3.
When installed tw4 it only has app icon in dock.
Took a while to work out. Ha.
Awesome launcher.
Was originally using gb launcher.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Thanks... i wann try

I use tw4 about 2 days now. It was in the Juwe's 4.2 rom i flashed...It is very nice, extremely smooth and seems to work nicely.
However it still has some bugs, you may experience fc's and even sudden reboots (did so once at me after it f.c.). Also as someone posted at another forum it seems to prefer RFS file system to ext4 (unknown why since SGS2 runs on ext4). I cant say so myself since i am on RFS too but any feedback on that would be welcomed.
PS: just a tip, if you want to install TW4 i recommend installing a rom with it, it seems to work better when roms are build around TW4 and not the other way around

Maybe not. I've installed on top of stock jvk not jvb and have had 0 fc's at all. 2 days running and no problems. Only thing that caused me grief was adding icons to dock but sorted that out...
You have installed a rom with it included and seem to have issues?
After reading 30 odd pages in the link I came to the conclusion that custom roms with tw4 included sometimes had issues so I added to my rom which is running rfs.
I reckon if you wanna try it and you're running stock jvk, go for it.
No need to do a complete rom.

what rom you use, and is it oc or not.. maybe its something with that.

I could play videos on stock browser in stock froyo due to flash lite-its there in all stock roms
@arpan try it yourself

grrr. force close

for those that worked please add some more details .. ROM version and/or any other drivers installed???

I think it's overclocking that is causing reason. @all those like me which haven't got flash player working. Are you using overclock ROM?

try putting in system app and see if it works or not.
