Hello everyone! I am currently on eclipse vs7(great rom nitro!!)and was curious as to which performance scripts are needed. Which scripts are redundant to run together and so forth. There are quite a few and I wanna make sure they don't interfere w each other. I think if we could get some kind of list going, it may help some of us less savvy get the best performance from our phones. Thank you all in advance and especially the devs in these forums!!

I have been running .7 RC1 since it came out. I mixed and matched scripts till i found the ones that seemed to work the best together. Some of them are from Speedy v4 and the rest come included in the eclipse rom. I also modified the final minifrees in the eclipse script to output what I have found to work the best. I have included the actual files in a zip for you to open and view. after booting into eclipse i used root explorer to replace the ones in the init folder with these. let me know if you have any other questions about it.
Thank you..
Thank you very much!! I unzipped and moved to init d folder. Do I need to change permissions or is that all set? Also I kept the sd read ahead, just for giggles. Thanks again. This post has had quite a few views and not many bites lol. I suspect there are many like me, whom have the flashing down. Just don't know the realities of what all this stuff does.
I usually go into bootloader and set the permissions under advanced just to make sure. and then i reboot a couple of times to get it ironed out. these scripts together might have some redundancies but ive been running them for 71 hrs. straight without a reboot and my phone feels like it is still running fresh from a reboot. the only thing that I change manually is the minifrees after boot. they were embedded so deep inside the scripts i didnt want to mess anything up. Here are the minifrees I use which i set at boot with autokiller memory optimizer - 6,12,82,89,97,125. these are the minifrees that zeppelinrox recommends for the droid x2. i used to use the v6 supercharger but i find that when i do it conflicts with the scripts and causes lag on my phone. probably because v6 requires 1.18.4 or lower busybox where eclipse roms come with 1.19 imbedded. enjoy
Any update on how this set of scripts is working out for you? I was also wondering how is your battery life running these scripts?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
as far as battery life is concerned I can go an entire day of moderate to heavy use without having to charge my phone once. lag is pretty much non existent for the most part. the maximum battery life I got was a day in a half without having to charge my droid...

All that you need is supercharger and most of 01tweaks. The rest of the scripts dont do anything. Gingerbread already zipaligns apks, the renicing script gives insane values, the minmem script is part of supercharger and the cpu scaling script doesnt work because the kernel ignores the values.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I don't use all the scripts from speedy just some. I know that everything is zipalligned already I just kept the script cause it didn't hurt anything. I don't use the supercharger script or the renice. If you look in the zip that was attached it will show you the actual files I included.

sorry i will do that i was at work and posting from my phone
i just looked. 03cpufreq does anything. change the values then run cputuner and look the kernel doesnt listen. 98tweaks is a worse/conflicting versions of 01tweaks, 75zipalign doesnt do anything and i dont see the point of clearing the dalvik cache every boot since its being caches to speed of the vm
Hmmm well together my phone is faster than separate. I tested them separately extensively. Never noticed any conflicts in real world performance

I found in my tests that no scripts need to be added to version7 eclipse. The two he put in are all u need. Nothing really made it better. A couple scripts actually dropped my gaming.index on smartbench (scheduler change and sysctl I think were culprit) it adequate the gljellyfish drop to 22fps which I also could notice when watching movies it constantly got really pixilated and blurry. So I just left it be eclipse is amazing without any extra tweaks imho.
Sadly tho I am not rooted right now. Im just gonna bite the bullet and see what happens. Maybe. Still haven't completly made my.mind.up on this subject.
Yesterday I decided to delete all scripts. To be honest I think the phone runs better without them. My battery imo last the same and phone runs w no lag. I believe this is due to eclipse v7, which is awesome work nitro!! Im going to run this for awhile and than try it w speedy v4 to see if it makes a difference or not. I am beginning to believe it is a placebo effect, but we'll see. Not trying to discount the hard work that I cannot even fathom, writing these scripts!!! Just being curious....
Which were the original two scripts? Just wondering because I flashed 0vermind's scripts and if they don't work I would like to change them back.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
The scripts in question is speedy version 4 and the scripts included with eclipse. I actually took the advice of the other person who just posted and deleted all the scripts in the init folder. I think he is right the rom runs better without any scripts or so it seems. I'll keep testing and feel it out

Its not that they don't work. Im sure they do what they are supposed to do. Just that they aren't really necessary imho. Some of the things they do CAN help. But its not needed.
I believe eclipse 7 came only with cpufreq and 98tweaks. Tho they are different than the ones with those names included in script flash tweaks.
Go into the eclipse zip you downloaded and press folders /system>etc>init.d to see what was initially included with the eclipse u r running. U can extract(w/ root explorer) and out em into init.d and fix permission and owner and be good to go.(owners are root and permission is rw-r--r--)
I feel like if a script could make eclipse better nitrogen would have include it. The other ones were there in older eclipse but have been removed. And I think that is one reason why newest eclipse runs so buttery smooth and great. Nitrogen is an amazing dev. Trust his work and his tests IMHO
No doubt on nitro being one of the best devs ever. And I do trust him. I just like messing with things... Its in my nature lol. I'm trying to raise money to get him a bionic so he can develop eclipse for my bionic. Trust me after going through soooo many roms on so many phones eclipse is by far one of my absolute favorites.... And nitro just rocks in general
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Yeah its in my nature also.
And I wanna add that I am NOT downplaying these init.d tweaks. I just knowbthat one or two of en made my phone worse. I have a feeling it was scheduler going to noop. Maybe a deadline scheduleer should be tried. I just know that even the way smartbench looked changed when that script wad in. And I know I know benchmarks don't mean.much blah blah blah. But my real life tests confirmed the smartvench results.
I also want to add that I am sure these little bugs and things will be worked out and scripts WILL provide enhancements as long as the devs take note to this type of feedback as a way to improve the scripts. I have faith in ALL devs who push for x2 excellence THANK YOU ALL!!!
+1 to that

Thanks a bunch! This helped a lot. You also provided a moment of clarity... why bother adding in a bunch of other scripts when Nitro, a guy who clearly knows what he is doing, found it ideal to have just these! Not trying to discourage any of you other developers that are hard at work but like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it!

EDIT: As per the request of Mr. Clown to maintain GPL compliance, this rom utilizes the stock kernel for the Motorola DROID X2.
After finalizing the stability testing of the Affinity Alpha ROM, I'm proud to announce the release of the first beta.
Now before there are any misconceptions or hate towards this ROM, I would like to make a few things clear.
This is NOT an original piece of work. I didn't build this from scratch nor will I pretend I did. However, what I did do is assemble a working foundation to start building off of, making it possible to release more substantial updates and make this an almost blur-free experience.
Regarding the controversy surrounding c21johnson's MinimalX ROM:
Although it may be true that he based his release off of the Chinese DX2 ROM, which itself is the cause of the "moto input method" keyboard that doesn't work and not the result of him "adding a last minute feature that was taken out right before release and all traces weren't removed" (I'm paraphrasing), he did put a good deal of time into building his adaptation and making sure it was stable, and we should all give him credit where it is due.
My ROM is also based off of the CHS DX2 ROM and I would like to acknowledge both that development team and c21johnson's work which helped me understand how to begin and develop this project.
With this current release, not a whole lot has been done yet. However, most of the bloat has been removed, the Blur launcher has been replaced with Launcher2, and there has been some style modifications.
In the future releases, this is what I plan to accomplish:
Full AOSP (This is about 25% done so far. I am currently dealing with some compatibility issue with the contacts, messaging and calendar apps.)
Rework the install process to actually format the system and preinstall folders for installing the rom, rather than just deleting each app manually.
CPU Frequency Scaling built in
Once I know app development a little better, I will release a toolbox similar to Liberty's to make edits, install themes, etc.
I'm sure more will come up along the way, but those are my highest priorities.
To install this ROM, you MUST be on an unmodified stock install. I tried installing over the stock ROM with a couple of system files missing and it ended up needing an SBF flash.
EDIT:
If you have a nandroid backup of the unmodified stock (except root and recovery) you can restore back and flash this ROM rather than SBFing.
1.) Download the ROM
2.) Place the ROM on your SD Card (internal or external is fine)
3.) Boot into Recovery (you need the bootstrap app to get to the correct recovery - www.bandbinnovations.com/xda/DX2/Bootstrap_signed.apk)
4.) Wipe DATA and Cache (VERY IMPORTANT!!)
5.) Install zip from SD Card (internal or external)
6.) Select the ROM and install it.
7.) Reboot
It should start up pretty quick, but if you are sitting around for more than 5 minutes on the boot logo or boot animation, you may have followed a step wrong.
IMPORTANT POST-INSTALL NOTE:
After installing and reaching the setup screen, skip the setup steps and get to the home screen. Then access the settings, go to language and keyboard and set either swype or multi-touch keyboard as your device.
If you enjoy what I've done so far, I appreciate donations. I spent about 20 hours in the past few days and had to do about 15 SBF flashes to get this to a stable point, and I will continue to put this amount of time on a regular basis. I'm really broke right now and I cant even afford a beer. Won't somebody buy me a beer or two, or six please!?!?!
Click here to donate!
Here are your Mirrors:
Mirror 1: http://bit.ly/q5Y3mc
Mirror 2: http://bit.ly/pLR61l
I Have attached the screen previews of the ROM's current look and feel.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy. Please use this topic to discuss any bugs you find and use the other topic for development discussion.
Sweet! I'll be installing after I SBF from my soft brick!

Great Job on the rom everything looks good so far
Yeah I am not sure what we are doing here either. I just dumped /system and was about to debloat and deodex. Why are the only ROMs posted 25mb? Is there a reason we aren't dumping the entire ROM complete with libs and bins etc?

This rom most likely does the same thing that MinX did which was delete all of the bloat and other pre-installed stuff then re-installs a small amount of files. This would be the reason you do not have to debloat yourself.
Is anybody using the supercharger script on this? I'm wondering if it's necessary. 200 mb+ of RAM? That is amazing...

The fellas who have decided to get the ball rolling on the ROMs don't appear to have much experience. They are tired of waiting amd are doing what they can to help development forge ahead.

Rooting is a must; and removing the bloat is great, but installing a custom ROM is better performance wise.
Try a couple ROMs and find what one you like best. I use Liberty because I find it to be the fastest.

Sorry bout the thanks..hit the button by accident. As for rooting, if you follow the directions correctly, you SHOULD be ok" but there's always a chance you can have a problem. That's why the directions state at your own risk. And yes you will notice your phone will run considerably faster once you debloat the Verizon crapware. Also installing roms such as nitros eclipse or Kejars31's liberty will also improve the phones performance. Im using liberty & its pretty quick, but both are great. Hope that helps you out
I haven't used Liberty, so I can't vouch for it. But Eclipse is a great rom to try. The devs remove most bloatware, as well as the Blur skin, unless something is necessary in almost all roms. Both of these things, as well as some performance scripts and other built in modifications make a significant difference. Just be sure you have the correct version of android running before flashing, and just to be on the safe side, be sure to download RSD Lite and the correct SBF for 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 whichever you choose.
If you want a ROM, I'd suggest Molten, fastest I've seen!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I'm currently using Eclipse and the V6 script and let me tell you, it is now the phone it should have been stock. Rooting and flashing ROMs are a must for this device, and as long as you follow directions and are crystal clear on what they tell you to do, there is little to no risk involved. I was in your position when I got my X1, and after I installed the Apex ROM, there was no chance I'd ever use stock again. Good luck my friend!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Make sure you follow all of the directions and read up anytime you have a question. I have learned much and more from all the people around here and their informative posts. It is intimidating at first to root, install recovery then install a ROM but once you've done it it is really awesome.
I want to try Liberty on my rooted X2 but cannot find it anywhere. I've searched, but may have missed it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for your help.

I am currently stock rooted. And yes removing g bloat will free up some ram and u should notice some difference in performance.
But I recommend freezing before removing since there is a lot of apps that are interdependent on each other so u need to be careful what u remove.
most of the roms on here will remove the junk for u anyways.
Just make a nandroid of stock after u root and install our bootstrap so u can always go back to stock if u would like or need to.
If u r just looking to remove apps like kindle amazon blockbuster etc.. u will be fine. Feel free to ask any questions (u can also private message me if ud like) and ill do my best to help ya out that's what this forum is for
Thank you!
And don't worry about the 2.3.4 but anymore, Nitro has fixed it and it should be gone with his next release!

Besides for the debloating/freezing and flashing roms that other posters have mentioned, one of the best things I like about rooting is being able to use an app titled Keyboard Manager. It is only available to root users, but it allows you to set keyboards based on orientation. For example, I use swype in portrait and blur keyboard in landscape.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Its not like you unlock a world of free apps and instantly become a Android Guru, you just get those few things that you wanted before and always said "I really wish I could change that" well its making open source even more open.
Keep reading the xda forums and you will learn alot. I started by using the "one click root," freezing bloat wear, and then started experimenting with Roms to squeeze all the free memory and performance I can out of my x2. Like you I am a computer tech head, but didn't know much about android. The knowledge comes fast though.

that's a tasty little tidbit there, I like swipe but never turned it on because I really only liked it in portrait, hence, I really now do all my typing in landscape.
definitely root your phone. and definitely do what some of the others stated like getting a sbf and using rsd lite. im running eclipse if it means anything. havent tried liberty yet. didnt like alien or atrix port so much.

I second that statement. I've tried Liberty and Eclipse, and no disrespect to those developers at all, but AOSP is the way to go and CM7 is the first AOSP ROM available for the DX2. I was afraid I made the wrong choice for a phone because I root and flash ROMs on my phones, but CM7 on the DX2 has made me feel much better. Try it! You'll love it!
Where did the .sbf go?
I've found several dead links for the "VRZ_MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-117-15_1FF_01.sbf.gz
"
Someone at androidforums said they found a working one at droidx forums, but I haven't found it my self. I asked if he would post a link. Guess we'll see.
Edit: I found what I was looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
Didn't notice this before, but according to http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/ , there are two installs for 'daytona' (codename for Droid X2).
Also, cvpcs recently tweeted "i'll see what i can muster together. need to get some DX and X2 stuff posted".
Good news? Old news?
I didn't know they had even started on the X2, I knew the X1 already had it, or an RC at least.
cvpcs, who I believe ported CM4DX, just recently got the X2, but has been busy with life.
Also, the Droid X is becoming, or already is, an official CM supported device.
Before my brother got his X2, I was trying to get the CM7 build on it, but couldn't find the correct one on their site, this was almost 2 months ago though.
Actually I'm pretty sure that was me... I've been working on porting some cyanogen components out of an unofficial atrix build and one of the few things that did work was stats. Installed it twice

Yeah, wiped cache and delvik b4 nandroiding to save a little space, and again after just in case. Wiped data then installed. After install, wiped batt stats and fixed permissions while still in tenfars recovery. Then rebooted. After boot loop went into stock recovery and wiped data/cache again. Still no luck. [email protected]#ty thing is I go out of the country on business for a month so not gonna have time. Im working with the 1.2rc3 eclipse and the ATRIX or as is its referred to on CM site. olympus nightly 3 as my main base. Im thinking of downgrading to 2.3.3 just to try it with the x2 ATRIX port as a base instead, may help compatibility I think. The problem is I dont know just how much of cyanogen the custom kernel affects. Or if its only the cpu controls and various system tweaks. I do iphone development for a living yet ironically switched my own phone to a DROID 2 a couple months ago bc a friend had one lying around and my iphone screen broke. Found how to jailbreak(root) it a couple hours later. Had heard of cyanogen from a friend. Found a nightly found clockwork mod and fell in luv. That phone stopped charging and Verizon gave me an early upgrade to the x2 a couple weeks ago so here I am... Even if I can't make a full port my 2nd goal is a theme engine port. I have all the apks and frameworks from the newest ATRIX cm nightly its just trying to figure out what needs to be replaced or deleted to stop it from conflicting with another running process. For instance I got the theme chooser app to install In eclipse but either something in the frameworks the systemui.apk or framework-res.apk causes it to force close. It may even be the few blur components that are left. I've got a day left to work on this then im gone for a month. And does anybody know off hand if theme engine is in any way controlled by the kernel. Also I read froyo has 2nd int'd, if some1 can get it on gingerbread this would be alot easier. Im working mostly solo tho so its all trial and error...

If you still have time to give it (X2) back i'd recommend it,Get a Bionic or something or the droid 3, something thats more popular, d3 has cm7 booting same with the bionic, don't lock your self in a crap phone if you don't absolutely have to...

2nd init for the x2 was created on GB. I believe our ATRIX ports use 2nd init. Naven and dragon just made them flashable in CWM by including the 2nd init hack in the flash.

the posted 2nd-INIT in dev section for us works on gb if that is what you are referring to.
About CM7 & 2nd-init
the 2nd init that is used for all motorola devices (except the ATRIX) for cyanogenmod is designed for both froyo and gb. It has a check in there to see if the executable bit exists and figure out what to do from there. that way any motorola device could (in theory) use it. I know that this version of 2nd init works for the X2 and will pretty much be used when it comes to porting over cm7. We're going to have to use GB as our base (not Froyo) simply because of the requirements of our kernel (which we can't change).
About my involvement
now i know that I was original one who was trying to crank out cm7 and that it kinda died out. that doesn't mean that i don't play around with it from time to time. I'm starting from scratch, but if naven and/or cvcps or whomever get it running before I do, more power to them. I have little to no time to work with this, but I know what approach i'm taking this time. It is to simply base it off the ATRIX (obviously) but then work in the 2nd-init and edify scripts that the X uses. I kinda did that the first time, but got too mixed up in all of the details.
I don't want anyone to think that because I'm working on it that any results will arise. I'm merely trying to say that someone is working on it. Just maybe not as fast or with as much time as you guys will like. I want to have CM7, too. But we don't have a team or anything so it takes a lot of work.
@dragonzkiller
Quick question. I understand the 2nd INIT allows scripts to be ran at bootup to alter the kernel in a "temporary" environment(ie. Whatever settings are in place in the Init.d folder is used instead of default.. blah blah), at least that is my understanding of it. But the question here is
What does 2nd Init have to do with CM7? Or MIUI? To my understanding it simply allows scripts to Be ran in front of the Kernel settings. Unless I am wrong, What does this have to do with Heavily Modified roms if you are simply allowing a performance boost, etc?

2nd-init allows us to have a new init.rc script, not just scripts in general and in reality has no affect on init.d unless the init.rc script is told to do so. Basically 2nd-init kills the init process (and all spawned processes) that uses the stock init.rc and uses a new one which we copy during hijacking the boot process and starts the init process again.
The root directory (where init.rc lies) of our phone is writable, but is reflashed every time the phone boots up, thus erasing any changes we might have made to init.rc (kinda defeats the purpose of having a custom script). This script is the script that gets everything set up during the boot sequence starting roughly around the time the motorola logo first shows up and all through the boot animation. We need to have a custom init.rc to get our phone's environment setup for CM7.
Our problem arises when we have to have the script satisfy both the OS and the kernel. Motorola's kernel expects certain criteria to be fulfilled within the phone to allow it to do it's thing. If these aren't satisfied, the kernel panics and reboots the phone (hence why we get bootloops). We can use logging (a rather tedious, slow, and painful method) of finding out where the kernel panics, and adjust as needed. But we need to have the environment ready for CM7 also, so those changes need to be in there without causing a kernel panic.
"Heavily modified" is a bad way to put it, more like "non-BLUR." If we could get CM7 working we can use the init and build files/setup/etc to allow us to have more ROMs based of AOSP. MIUI is based off of AOSP and in theory if we figure out CM7 we can even have AOSP ourselves. In fact the ATRIX recently got a port of AOSP (albeit buggy, but still).
The link above to cvpcs's blog goes into the details about it. It's really good read.

I don't remember seeing anyone in this thread say that. Who are you agreeing with?
I'm new to the world of Android having recently converted (thankfully/finally!) from years of Blackberry use. I've been trolling the boards (XDA especially) learning as much as possible from others. I've flashed the three main ROM's back and forth and love them all - much snappier than stock for sure.
Question is in regards to the Speedy V6 scripts (and perhaps other varieties of performance boosters). Should I install them over Liberty or Eclipse ROM's? When I compare the zip files of the system/etc/init.d directory for the V6 package to that in either ROM, there are many differences and additional scripts in V6 (especially compared to Eclipse which I'm running now - It's pretty bare in init.d). What is everyone else doing when flashing ROM's? Add V6 or no?
I have found that adding Speedy v6 to Eclipse 1.3 makes things lag. I do not suggest them.
nitroglycerine33 has already included scripts in init.d that he believes are sufficient, and by the performance of Eclipse 1.3 I would say he is correct.
Agreed. I find speedy and others to be uneccessary on roms that come with scripts preinstalled in init.d
I find better use of them when running stock rooted maybe deodexed and debloated.
Other than that I find them to be not needed. They might seem to make things "better" at first but then you realize that things were just fine or the same or better before u flashed the scripts.
As stated above the devs really know what works best for the scripts they add. And having more scripts in init.d doesn't necessarily mean better performance. And the ONE script in eclipse includes the commands of about 4or5 of the scripts from liberty but just all put in one script.
I'm new to all this too. I have rooted my X2 and I'm running Eclipse v1.3 on 2.3.4. At first I had all the tiny little bugs that the developer said would work out, and they did. I was a little hesitant that the browser was slower, and for a short while it was. But the more I used it, it has gotten considerably better. Now I'm in limbo about running a script such as Speedy V6. But, I believe I'm gonna hold off and just let her ride. I feel like for 3G, it runs about as fast as it's gonna get. My phone runs circles around from where it began. From a noob's standpoint, keep it simple and read EVERYTHING on the forum. When they say use the search option if you can't find it, do it. It's there. Also, share some love and give thanks.

Im pretty sure eclipse does NOT come with any tweaks to improve 3g performance.
Its all dependent on he signal, proximity to tower, how many people are on the tower at that same time, etc...
There IS a 3gturbocharger that seems to boost some people 3g speeds by making tweaks to the build.prop but it seems to be hit or miss..(made by zeppelinrox)
Also your 3g speeds depends on your data usage.
I KNOW I ambling throttled by vzw(as I am sure others here are too due to our high data usage) but they call it "network optimization" ...which means that when there is a high load of traffic on that tower you are connected to then if u are a "high data user(I think they say over 2gb/month is top 5% which I don't agree with but....)" then while their is a high usage on that tower they will slow down the top data users speeds to allow for other users to have better speeds....bah..
The newest powerboost mod should be out very soon tho (I think it has support for OUR liberty and eclipse roms) that has the services.jar mods to do away with throttling.

That doesn't suprise me the way things are nowdays, but good to know. I still can't complain though. The new ROM has really woke this phone up. Across the board I'm overall more than happy.
I've found the Speedy scripts to always cause lag. Using Zepplinrox's scripts does help, even in Eclipse or Liberty.

V6supercharger is awesome
Just be sure to delete the minfree section in scripts that you already have to avoid any conflicts between scripts IF u use it for minfree changes. I usually just use it for oom grouping fix and hard to kill launcher(I like my launcher to not be bullet.proof...I don't have any widgets and id rather my system kill it off to free up memory when im playing big games and stuff)
I swear...that ONE option alone makes 90% of the difference in how the phone performs...I have a really hard time making music stutter after running that option...its pretty much nonexistent.
Help a noob out? I have a virgin DX2 - never rooted - freshly updated to 2.3.5 (was in the soak) - and I'm finally ready to root it and try out a ROM. I've been lurking here for a week or so reading & trying to learn all I can about the process - and I think I'm ready to give it a shot.
Obviously Step 1 is to SBF back to 2.3.4 so I can get rooted, but after that is where I'm running into some indecision. I can't decide if I want to go straight to CM7 from there - or follow the instructions to keep root, SBF back to 2.3.5 and install Eclipse 2.2.
I know both ROMs have their loyal followers and I'm sure either would be a big improvement over stock Blur... and I know it's easy enough to try BOTH of them once I get the hang of all this... but I'd still appreciate some advice about which to try first.
For those of you who've tried both, which do you prefer? What are the pros & cons of each?
Thanks!

I'm guessing you've seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632111
Seems to center around Eclipse and CM7 mostly. Eclipse can be a bit more polished in my estimation, mostly due to HDMI, FM radio, less buggy, you know, all the bells and whistles working. For the most part, either way you go you'll be fine.
Currently I have myself and my wife on CM7, we both like it. No real issues to speak of.
I personally perfer CM7RC1 its a solid daily driver very minor issues and I never get bored with it. Here's my overview of both ROMs.
CM7RC1
Pros:
Extremely Smooth.
Lots Of Mods/Tweaks.
Endless Customization.
Gingerbread 2.37
Theme Engine.
Wifi Tethering
Fully AOSP.
Toggles.
Cons:
HDMI Mirroring Is Unsupported.
FM Radio Is Unsupported.
Bugs:
Data Triangle. (Fixed By Reboot, *228)
Battery Exclamation. (Fixed By Reboot)
Some Experience Wifi Connecting Issues. (Fixed By Manual Connect)
Eclipse 2.2
Very Smooth.
Few Mods/Tweaks.
Limited Customization.
Gingerbread 2.35.
Flashable Themes.
AOSP/BLUR Hybrid.
Toggles.
Cons:
Lack Of Customization.
Is Only Gingerbread 2.35.
No Tethering.
Bugs:
Some Experience Wifi Resetting. (No Fix ATM)

I have tried out every x2 rom under the sun and as of right now I think your best bet is cm7. I would recommend running the cm7 mash up script, along with the dual core script, because with both of these the res is flawless.
but of course, I think you should try both of them out because it is personal preference. And if we get cm9 here soon then we will all be happy little cracked out, flashed up, ics'd whores with everything we can dream of for the x2, with some extra feta cheese.

This is a fair evaluation of both ROMs but really it all boils down to personal preference and things like if you need HDMI and stuff like that...I personally never use HDMI or the FM radio...but still liked eclipse and that's what I have on my wife's phone albeit its 2.1...I am sure when CM9 comes out she will like to try it...in short flash them both run them for a week or so and see which one you like and go from there

Just a caution on CM7; I haven't tried the latest release but on the first release the camcorder continuous auto-focus didn't function. It seemed to focus once when you press the shutter button and remain fixed, and sometimes that focus was in error itself. Not a lot of people seem to care about that but my phone has the heavy responsibility of archiving my sons' most important memories for them to look back on when they are older, so I just went back to stock rom. Other than that, CM7 seemed great.
I use CM7RC1 Dual Core Script, Build Prop Mashup, 8 Touch Point Mod, Cron Scheduler, Beats Audio, 3 CDMA Mods. My phone is blazing fast!
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
In my experience the beats audio hack ruined my sound quality. Also the dual core script......Our 2nd core boots up automatically when there's a demand for more memory. Dragonzkiller even stated this is the dual core script thread. Keeping both on at all times pretty much only drains your battery faster. Only difference I noticed with it was the home screen animations were a little snappier. Wasn't enough change in performance for the lack of battery IMHO. Just a few things if you go the CM7 route. Never tried Eclipse so I can't help you there.

Why do these keep popping up...the search bar is definitely not be used...
Anyways...Eclipse is literally a hair slower than cm7 but it is worlds more stable. Wifi on Eclipse far better than cm7's. Cm7 has some SU issues but they can be fixed by installing Super SU from the market and getting rid of the normal SU app.
Tethering is easier on cm7 is strong -- heat is something you'll have to worry about. I've tethered on Eclipse through the use of a Market app so a little more work must be done there.
Downside to Eclipse is that you must go to 2.3.5 to use it whereas Cm7 is 2.3.4. Battery life on Eclipse is better for me. I've had serious computer trouble this past month and have had to do some research for papers on my phone! With the brightness on full, Gmusic/Pandora/power amp going and internet on my battery would last ~6-9 hours.
I should also mention that I have the Second Core Script going and my battery life took a very small. Not backbreaking but noticeable.
Not going to lie ; your phone will heat up slightly more regardless of the rom you're on when you use the script
Personally I enjoy Eclipse much more than cm7. Blue is my favorite color
Come over to the dark side...
Hmm haven't ran into any sound issues yet. As far as the dual core script I understand the core will activate on demand. The thing is this only happens when the CPU becomes so over tasked by processes it create a short lag before kicking in. This script makes that laggy transition disappear. I would only recommend this script for people with the extended battery like me tho.

Obviously, lol... no "lag" or time needed to boot because its already always on...
Did you use the script editor in ROM toolbox to apply it, sealedfate? If so do you check apply on boot, or do you only use it when you see fit?
Sent from my stupid smartphone
If you have a X2 now I would say you have to try them both. Run one for a couple of weeks do a nano back up and then try the other for a couple of weeks. Then you can decide which you like better. Or you can do like I did and just keep going back and forth every few weeks because you love them both
I have the script in system/ect/init.d so it applies on boot. Helps a hell of a lot with 3D games.

Actually, like I said in my first post, I'm been doing nothing but searching and reading on here for the past week or so. Eclipse 2.2 just dropped a week ago, so I was looking for fresh opinions from people who had tried CM7 and that version specifically.
I appreciate all the helpful comments from everyone though. I think I'll do like a few of you suggested and try them both eventually... starting with CM7.
Hopefully we can all add CM9 to the list of ROMs to try very soon!

Yep! I've been following his Twitter feed and the "CM9DX2 anticipation" thread on here. Can't wait to see how it goes. Sounds like he's REAL close!
Success! Following Moon Shadow's instructions to the letter, I successfully SBF'd back to 2.3.4, rooted, and installed CM7 without any problems whatsoever. CM7 is up and running! Just need to get my apps reinstalled and I'll be good to go. Man... you guys weren't kidding. The phone is SOOOO much faster/smoother now, it's not even funny. Should have done this a long time ago.
Thanks everyone!
OK, it appears that I spoke too soon. I realized soon after that the Google apps did not get loaded on my phone (Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc.), but some of the other apps in that same ZIP file DID get installed (Talk). Also, my old background pic was still on the phone.
I was able to download/install the missing Google apps without any problem and they all work perfectly (including Nav from the car dock) - and everything else has been running flawlessly. The phone is very fast & smooth... no bugs... not a single force close or reboot yet after fairly heavy use for the last couple of days.
So... obviously something didn't go perfectly with my install, but as far as I can tell, everything is fine with the phone. How can I tell if I'm missing anything else? Should I just keep what I have or SBF back to 2.3.4 and start over again? I'm perfectly happy with it right now - but maybe I don't know what I'm missing.

Not sure how anyone might be able to tell you what you might be missing on your phone. It is pretty basic what you get, not a lot of bells and whistles put in by default.
Not aware of a comprehensive list of what you should have exactly.
