Nope...if you start flashing roms and playing with this kinda stuff get used to factory resets...not trying to put you off but when you start getting into roms ect..the benefits outweigh having to redo your phone. Its a pain and it always seems like once you have your phone just the way you want it a new rom or something comes out. Just do a nandroid backup in recovery that way if you don't like it you can revert back to the way your phone was setup the way you had it. That way you always have a backup.
Try titanium backup. It'll let you backup your settings before you wrote your phone.

Don't listen to him. Never restore settings. This causes a lot of problems. You can do it for Apps, but not the Apps and their data. That sometimes causes problems too.

Eclipse is super clean and super fast.
Well there's very few things that im worried about losing but my calender (pure grid calender) is one that I don't wanna lose.....I emailed the dev and asked if there was a way to back it up so im waiting for an email back on that.....I have my apps backed up via titanium backup free and sticky notes I can just write down or something.....I ran minimal x immediately when it came out so I have some experience with Rom's but no where near calling myself a pro.....so with eclipse will I flash it the same way as I did with MinX?

I use Pure Grid Calendar... have for over a year.. across the D1 and the X2 I have flashed my phone so many times I couldnt even begin to make up a number.... NEVER.. lost my calendar info. Its synched into google. Auto restores when you go thru setup after flashing the ROM

Is that a setting in pure grid or something?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
no, pure grid, if you will remember, asks you on setup which calendar you want to use. By default, its set to the google one. SO, you set your phone up and the calendar syncs.. then you install pure grid again and it grabs the already synched google calendar.. thats all google.

Apps and data across updates to these rom has always been fine. Going across versions (froyo/gb etc) has been known to causes issues, as well as settings. The settings issue is widely accepted as a way to introduce bugs. You'd know this if you'd been flashing roms for longer than a few weeks.

I don't want to start a whole thing here...yes titanium is a great program but i have run into problems with it not restoring properly and causing some problems. I always prefer to just do a fresh install if im backed into a corner, but Titanium works great but i ran into some issues with it not restoring settings/accounts causing FC and ghost email accounts that could not be removed. Maybe its just me i used it a couple of times and it worked but it just didn't seem like a clean restore for some reason. Again just giving opinion here not trying to start anything...**Opinion Only**

Nandroid is seriously best thing u could EVER do before flashing or at any point for that matter. If there is ever a point where u say damn I really like how my phone is righteous now. Wish I could get back here if something ever messes up. Then just go into recovery using system recovery app and make ur nandroid. I keep em on external sd card cuz there's more space for plenty of em. And then I use root explorer and rename or add on something to the name of the backup so I don't forget which one it is when im restoring it. When u male a nandroid it automatically puts the date and time of creation as the file name.
Trust me. Nandroid will save your butt on occasion if u flash ANYTHING. Its awesome to just press restore and presto your right back where u were.
Not a TB fan here... just a personal preferences...
Best way I've found to get back up quickly is... having the rom auto download your apps and when its done, go into recovery and do an advanced restore. Then choose data only. That's assuming you made a backup of course.

Would it be too much to ask for someone to walk me thru flashing this?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Check the stickies.. theres instructions for flashing stuff... also, just so you know, the Eclipse ROM is not one of the ROMs that auto downloads your apps. You will need to do that yourself then do the data resotre.. if you are going that route. If you are using TB, you can restore it all but.. I dont use it so I have no clue how to do that.

Wow, I just downloaded these two apps and am finally realizing the true power of my rooted X2. 6 months after ditching Blackberry for Android, I am starting to see some happiness with this device.
So with ROM Manager, I have now changed fonts, backed up apps and compared the freeze process (I prefer Titanium Backup) to what I am using. The big elephant in the room is the NANDROID backup. Any advice before I click this option? I don't want to get stuck in bootloop with no options on how to move forward.
Also, it looks like people are using the Liberty ROM that is available through this app...anyone have any screenshots? Thanks in advance.
You should stop while you are still ahead.
Better yet, you should not be using either of these apps.

absolutely. If u want to root and flash different roms just read some of the other threads. Just stay away from just about everything for the DX.
ROM manager installs clockworkmods. But known of them support the droid x2. So if you install them you will either brick or bootloop your droid
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Good to know...as I stated at the beginning of the post, all I have done so far is backup the apps and change the fonts and I changed the frequency in which the phone checks for WI-Fi networks. I was this close to having the battery symbol changed, but decided (after the warning) to hold off. I haven't uninstalled the app yet, is the phone volatile with the app installed or should I can I just leave it be in hopes that at some point the developer tweaks the program to work with the DX2?
You can leave it installed if you want to. You should install a app called system recovery for droid x2 it installs clockworkmod that does work on this phone. Then do a back up in case you mess something up you can recover.
Search developer forums for Droid x2 system recovery instructions to find the app and info

I'm sure I'm not the only person happy to have the option back, plus I feel that the addition of a free version will (hopefully) lead to more people buying the paid version. So, um, yeah...check it out...

I have heard titanium doesn't completely freeze some apps. Bloat Freezer is like sticking the app in liquid nitrogen imho.
Have used it forever and it works freaking awesome.
Plus trey said that batch freezing is coming in a future update. Right now u can only defrost all or one at once or freeze one at time. Can't wait for batch freezing. Make it a lot quicker.
People still freeze things?

Do u have the original apks that u can go thru its contents and see if it was deliberately done or not? I would check but I just deleted the original by accident that I had downloaded from bloatfreezer.com

Not accurate. ROM manager is what you stay away from. ROM toolbox works great! Most all of it works except the cpu settings. OP - If you're running stock, do u even have the init.d hack installed in order for some of the values to stick?
Edit: I just changed my battery icon earlier and had no issues w/ losing contacts. I've flashed boot anis just fine, changed the font, no themes available yet but i think that well require you running liberty ROM, i believe.

Ya I've heard the rom manager doesn't work for us but see all kinds of people using rom toolbox. Does anyone know which options in there I should stay away from.

Viskey, it could be b/c you're running stock. For sysctl values to stick you will need to flash navens init.d hack or flash a ROM w/ init.d preinstalled. My experience w/ Toolbox is if it's not supported or needs a dependency then it tells you. At that pt, proceed w/ caution.

One more time. You cannot use Rom toolbox on a stock rom, unless you're rooted. If you're not rooted, it causes the contacts to be erased, and wallpaper will be reset, but that happends anyway. Also rom toolbox is for liberty Rom or any custom rom only.

There are better ways, use Titanium Backup, or Bloat Freezer.
As a tip, you might want to do the common bloat first, then try freezing one by one of others. You didn't list what your daily life needs, so the list Kenjesse provided might take all that you use, or a couple things you use on a daily basis.
I personally would do app one by one, if you are unsure, disabling one might take others and disable them also.
Sooooo go one by one, and see what you gain and what you lose.
Good luck!

I have had my X2 for 8 months and had been having problems with several apps force closing and the phone generally lagging quite a bit even using apps like Fast Reboot and Air Droid and task managers to clear the cache. It is still unrooted so I decided to just do a factory reset. After the reset, I have noticed a considerable difference in app loading and performance. It works like it did when it was new.
Any one have any suggestions as possible reasons why this would make it work better. I was simply experimenting with it, and it turned out working to my advantage.
I still have another year left before an upgrade, so I don't plan on rooting it before then. But are there any other things I can do or apps I can use to keep the performance like new without having to do another reset six months down the road.
I really love my X2 but with all of the trouble I had been having with apps and lagging, it was making me consider jumping ship to Apple. I just don't think I could deal with the small screen on an iPhone and the lack of customization.

I really wouldn't try and load a bunch of stuff like you had mentioned. Alot of that is just more memory useage and tasks to run. There really nothing wrong with having all of that. But its still there and still runs a risk of slowing things down a tad. Once in a while, clear your cache files and it really shouldn't give you any trouble.
On the otherhand..... why not root it and open that thing up? There are several stable ROMs like Eclipse and CM7 that will really make your experience with the X2 better. You can 9 times out of 10 always go back to right out of the box so there's no need to worry about messing up something or "loosing your warranty." Root, flash and let her ride!!
it's more like, 99.999999%of time you can go back to stock
just need a decent pc, to run rsd lite or ezsbf, to get back, if you have any problem

You can 9 times out of 10 always go back to right out of the box so there's no need to worry about messing up something or "loosing your warranty." Root, flash and let her ride!!

i agree with tally on this one!
also, how in the hell can you enjoy looking at blur with all those damned bloatware?
Even if you don't want to mess with roms and stuff you could always root to freeze bloatware.

I rooted my phone over the weekend and was able to uninstall some of the bloatware. I flashed the cm7.2 rom from dragonzkiller and followed the steps exactly. However, when I rebooted, I was not able to restore my contacts or sign into any other account other than Gmail.

Sounds like you didnt install the gapps file along with the ROM. That file contains all the Google stuff including the services to sync with Google. You can find the link to that file in the same CM7 thread.
I did install the gapps and it said it flashed successfully. If it was flashed successfully, should my contacts be available?

If you flashed the ROM and the gapps, it should be fine. Are you sure you downloaded the gingerbread gapps and NOT the ICS or Jelly Bean?
Did you check to see if your contacts outside of Google was there before deleting anything?
You could also sign in to your gmail on a PC and click on contacts. If they are there you should be able to port them over.
