Reasons for and/or against? Are the bugs and constant upgrades aggravating enough to move to a boring, but somewhat more stable official ROM?
No way, man! This is much too fun to abandon!
that would remove root. id never do that..............

Big thumbs up here. How else would I waste my Saturday nights?
Just hold off until 2.1 OTA is rooted and get the best of both.
Leak4base ROM includes the same software and radio versions as the OTA, so you won't be missing much by waiting.
f**k no. lulz. pardon the language

lol... not to mention all my other nights in between!
anyone that wants to lose root to get the ota needs to have their head examined in my humble opinion.
Yeah i wouldnt give up root for the ota, that would be like trading a corvette for a geo metro. But i did do a little test between a non root 1.5 and 2.1 eris vs my rooted eris on the Icm3 Rom v1.0 and it was like a night and day differance my rooted eris was seriously twice as fast when loading web pages and was way more responsive. SO IM STAYING ROOTED NO OTA FOR THIS GUY.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully people now can stop asking.
The suspense is killing me!!!!

Relax ... GCC can take a while to compile!
tell me about it. I've been just sitting back an waiting it out.lol and reading all the posts bout when is it coming bah bah bah. At least we know it will be soon,..
Yeah, just been browsing the forums as well. This will be my first root so I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait to get rid of the stupid garbage that Verizon won't let you uninstall.
It'll be my first time as well. I can't wait!
It will also be my first time. I already have a rom picked out (Skyraider Sense 3.3.4) and I cant wait!!!
I would recommend checking out SkyRaider, Myn's Warm Two Point Two, and/or Virtuous to anyone starting out very nice, solid ROMs.

So i just used unrevoked3.22 the brand new one for DINC.
when I try to boot into recovery to do a backup it just goes to a black screen with white borders and sits...
Any ideas?
if I reboot it back to HBOOT it does say S-OFF...so the root must have worked...
EDIT
Nevermind...I then found a separate set of instructions that mentioned a specific recovery for my SLCD screen - all is well now.

Just did the new root. Worked ok, have superuser..etc. However, titanium backup does not work. I allow it root and it states it isn't getting root.
Do you have busybox installed? You will need that too.

You can either do one of two things:
1) Download BusyBox from the market and run it and follow the instructions or
2) Run Titanium Backup and wait for the error to show. Once it clears out hit the Problems? button. It will install BusyBox for you.

do you know of any other app that will do a full rom backup like rom manager does?
I would just wait until ROM Manager supports it.
After all, the phone is less than a week old.
I see way too many people on these forums with zero patience.

its not a question of patience.
i was just wondering if there was a different app
it was very uncalled for the way you responded insinuating that i dont have patience
im not here going "hey i want this now...y the hell isnt rom manager supported yet?!?!"
it was just a mere question as to whether or not there was another app that could do full backups
I agree
I also have the atrix and was wondering the same thing. But i agree with you its not like im griping if it doesnt just would like to know if something supports it. there are alot more devs then just the people of rom manager. And it was rooted before release so it is possible that it could be done. So chill out with you cockiness/rudeness!!
You can back up your apps and whatnot using titanium backup or similar programs. It's not the same as ROM Manager/CWM but it'll get you by for now
Has there been anymore word on ROM Manager on the Atrix? I was curious as to if I could use it to install Gingerblur RC1.
But wait, Gingerblur isn't a "real" ROM anyway so that wouldn't work, huh?
Man I wish I hadn't paid for that before my brain kicked in.
Sorry for my recognized ignorance.....
I haven't updated my ROM in a while, mainly because I don't have the time to. I was running Baked Snack 1.9, but now I want to upgrade to Gingerbread.
There are tons of ROMS in the development forum, and I'm not sure which one to pick. I'm not really concerned with how a ROM looks, since I'm going to load LauncherPro on there anyway.
So, here are the requirements that I have:
- Running Gingerbread
- 4G, GPS, both cameras supported
- Good battery life
- HDMI mirroring
- No FPS limit
- Preferably can run CIFS Manager
Is there anything else that I should be looking for??
Thanks in advance!

FFS people do some research test a few roms and pick the one you like the best
we don't all have the time for that. i could easily spend hours researching and trying them out, which is all time that my phone is half functional, but there are higher priorities on my plate.

OFFICIALLY CM7 says it supports 4G.
However, my experience with CM7 WiMax has been shoddy at best. If you move from a 4G area to a non-4G area then back, most of the time the 4G breaks and you must reboot your phone to reconnect. Even if you stay in a 4G area, sometimes the 4G simply drops out, and you are stuck with both 4G and 3G icons on the screen, once again having to reboot to restore the 4G. There are some work-arounds, but it's definitely not stable, even in RC3. Don't even get me started on trying to wireless tether via 4G on CM7, even if you are lucky enough to get it to connect, you get about 2-3Mbits down whereas on Sense with Wireless Tether for Root Users you get 5-6 Mbits down.
Very annoying.
Anyway, I've given up on CM until the 4G issues are ironed out. I'm not paying an extra $10 a month for 4G if it's not stable enough to use.
My recommendation is to hop over to a MikFroyo ROM. It's as stable an fast as I've seen with everything working. You can apply themes and mods to get the Gingerbread look you want while you wait with the rest of us for the EVO to get official 2.3 support.
Good luck and hope this helped!

there are tons of reasons to root, as you probably know. i would like to use CIFS manager, tether, and use HDMI mirroring.
i was not aware that the stock rom now has unlocked FPS, but this was why i went to a non-stock rom in the first place. but now that i've gone to non-stock, i find that they are faster and have better battery life than stock.
Very tru they are way better with way more options. Idk wat the cifs is. But as far as tether goes there is pda-net for stock. But imho half the fun of rooting is trying all the roms from all the fabulous devs here on xda. It really doesn't take to long to see if a particular Rom is for u. Especially if u have TB. Then if a Rom isn't for u just nand restore to ur old Rom and in my experience its about 20 mins to try it and restore if its not for you. Plus everyone will have their own opinion about a Rom so in order for u to kno which one is for u u gotta try it

I gotta stick up for the OP here a little bit. He's asking for our help, and that's not a helpful comment to ask him "Why root?"
Not having to pay $30 to tether your EVO to a PC was reason enough for me. Or to overclock. Or to theme it to the max. There are many reasons to root.
This is a community for people who want to make the most of their phones. That is why we root.
Please don't come to XDA and ask "Hurr durr why did you root if you're not gonna blah, blah."
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, amirite?

Now I'm not trying to be rude. I see this same q on here all the time and ppl usually give their opinion about the Rom they like. Then proceed to say they need to try them to find the one they like. And op is saying he doesn't have time to do that. It's just odd to me that ppl go and root their phone then ask for others to tell them wat the best Rom is. And that's a subjective term. I agree that paying for tethering and all the other charges are bs but honestly if ur gonna root its cool to ask for ppls opinions about the "best" Rom but if u don't have time to try them y bother. So somebody says so and so Rom is the best then he trys it and hates it so y not just try them urself. Usually the op for the roms will tell u what works and not working

Fair enough, Mohawka. I was a little slow in my last post, and after I had posted I saw that right above me you had continued to bear with the OP and give him your advice anyway.
Sorry if I jumped the gun in assuming you were rude. As you can see, I've been lurking the forums for a few months, but today is my first time posting. I can understand if you get tired of "What's the best ROM?" threads, because you are right, the "best" ROM doesn't exist, only the best ROM for YOU.
Ya no worries. I lurked for a while too. Now I post rarely trying to help when I can but I'm just a guy loving all the devs great work. And if u want a custom Rom u should c which one u like. Nobody can tell u which Rom will b best for you. Unless u can't think/decide was best for you

Two roms you must try..
First is miui. It is amazing and I gurantee you will love it. Second is destroyer v2. Its based off of cm7 and excepy for some minor quirks, mosy of which have fixes, its a great rom.

Maybe becausae on the first page of this particular forum alone are 4, FOUR threads all asking the same question.
yeah, as the title says, THANK YOU SO MUCH to each and every developer, tester and whatnot at that thread, this is my first post buy i've been lurking around this place for quite some time now, I got my X10 back in november but I checked this place long before november.
I just installed Gingerbread on my X10 and, since I'm such a newbie down here, I wanted and felt like doing a thread to say thanks to everyone, I'll be testing the ROM and come back to report any crashes, bugs and stuff I might encounter.
cheerz
Yeah it sux that genuine people can't report bugs in the Dev thread as you need 10+ posts so you have to spam to get your post count up
Pretty stoked to try the 2.3 update on my x10! Currently using 2.1 with the stock multi touch upgrade and it has been working well. How has the 2.3 been working for ya so far?
I have also been trying every version so far. I am just now testing CM7.0.0 J016 K006.
I don't know if any one is checking this but I had the same problem with wifi that several others had. Also I could never get the camera to take a picture
