I am curious as to what is the best ROM for X2? Eclipse, molten...or any others? Why do you think it is the best?
Well it all depends on what you are looking for. I personally think that Eclipse is the best, solely because Nitro is always working on it. It is fast, and smooth. Liberty is also nice, I just don't care for the design factors of it. MIUI is well designed, but if you'd go for that I would wait for the newest release to come to x2, because it is pretty slick looking. I haven't a clue about Molten, but there are like no screenshots of it, so if you want to try it, please post a thread of them lol.
I'd personally say try Eclipse to see how you like it, but if you'd like to try more always keep nandroid backups so you can have a selection of ROMs readily available.

I have tried Eclipse 1.0 and 1.2, and I am updating to 1.3 at the moment, and was curious if there was anything better. Thank you for your reply, I think I will stick with Eclipse for now, I love the look.
They are all pretty fantastic! I say start with one, test it out, make a nandroid if you like it, then flash a new one and test it out, and go until you find one you like the best. If you get flash happy, make nandroids of a couple. I have a nandroid for liberty eclipse and gp7. I'm running molten 2.2. Its fun going back and forth between them. Haha

I agree IDMA they are all good and have different feels. I would just try all of them from eclipse to gingerphone7 and gingerfunk too. It doesn't take that long to test drive them and het the jest of what each has to offer. There is only 5 current custom roms to choose from so see which one works best for you

No they don't. Seriously I don't get your issue. Eclipse has been far better and more reliable than both stock 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. I would experience several force closes of factory loaded software every day. That isn't the case with Eclipse or Liberty.

I dont want to argue with anyone but I ran into more issues with stock blur(puke) then any custom rom on here.
The camcorder thing might be because of the bionic camera being in eclipse and not the stock blur camera.. I don't know but I have used the camcorder a lot and never had a force close until i purposely hit the screen after pressing record. I guess when its recording I dont press the screen....

Okay, I did what you said in Liberty3 and it worked just fine. No FCs, nothing. Worked like a charm.
He was complaining about the Razr camera port in Eclipse v1.3 I think atleast. Haha
Eclipse works great for me. I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
Yep ill second the eclipse 1.3 I've followed eclipse since the early days. Currently I'm using the 2.3.5 OTA and have been slowly freezing bloat and have applied supercharger v.7 so far its nice not as much free ram not as snappy and not as much battery as say eclipse on 2.3.4 but better that but stock 2.3.4 or 2.3.3.

It's been over a month since I flashed my X2 to Liberty and I got bored. Then, I saw Nitro/Scott tweet that Eclipse v2.0 for the X2 was coming and as of last night, was 90% complete, so I decided to flash back to Eclipse.
Lo-and-behold, I experienced the FC with the camcorder. So, I just pulled the BlurCamera.apk from Liberty3 for X2 and all the FC's are gone!
All I did was delete the Camera.apk from /system/app, copied the BlurCamera.apk back to /system/app, set the permissions to 0644 and then rebooted. FCs gone!
Can't wait for Eclipse 2.0.

So I know that there are a number of available ROMs out now for the X2. I just wanted your guys' opinion on the "best" one. And by "best", I'm talking performance-wise. Is there one that clearly stands out in terms of performance or are they all generally similar?
Btw I'm running Eclipse remix and it's pretty great. Thanks guys!

Eclipse is nice. Mostly because it was the first one out and has received CONSTANT change feedback and support. I am sure the others will catch up to the following eclipse has and get the feedback needed to create amazing roms. With that said I think ALL the roms are great considering we have a locked bootloader so it is limited in what can be done.
My smartbench productivity score hovers around 3000. The gaming index tho has dropped to 2100 from 2700 on the remix5 test version. I been trying to figure out what changed. All I know is my gljellyfish only gets 22fps when I used to get 36 easily. And I notice my screen pixelates while watching netflix movies a LOT now. Just awaiting blurless 7 as I think it is the blurless I have been waiting for. I have stayed true to blur remix but I think that might change me.
My personal opinion is that the new Atrix update is the best current ROM. I like eclipse, but I didn't like the camera functions. Performance-wise they are pretty similar IMO.

+1 less blur, the better imho. Eclipse v6 is very snappy and responsive and the battery life is great! I liked the performance of the Atrix stock port, but it's too much like stock. Take some time and flash away. Forget about scores and see which ROM feels, and performs, the best for you and what you use your phone for.

I like Alien and Liberty!!
The new atrix rom is awesome and very fast no problems for me at all
I'm personally on the atrix rom, i deblurred myself, installed the modified qhd twlauncher from the atrix forum, and im using the "way blur should have been" theme in the X2 themes and apps board; my smartbench is disappointing me (1600 productivity :X) but it's the smoothest my phone has ever been. If you're not a benchmark reliant user, it's awesome.
I use the stock atrix port.
I dont understand why people complain about blur, theres alot of blur thats way better than AOSP.
Camera, music, widgets, ect.
For me the widgets may have been the biggest deal. i like my homescreen crowded

It seems that people have a mixed opinions on blur or no blur. Im pretty sure that there are strengths and weaknesses with both.
What I like about nitro's rom's is that he has somehow found the best of both worlds and somehow makes them play nice together. That's an amazing feat in itself!

Eclipse. I tried the atrix port but went back
I was on v.6 of Eclipse, downgraded to v.5 for the red ICB theme. Going to try out others. My first smart phone, and its a blast trying out tons of stuff! I say pick one that has a cool name like Alien, flash it, then move onto another weather you liked it or not, and keep going, even if it feels like the best one ever, there's always another to try! Figured I might try some ATRIX port ones tonight!

Atrix with the Alien theme (not Alien Rom). I read on another forum that you can flash pretty much any theme thats compatible with the Atrix version 4.5.91. So far so good, I'm running Navens Atrix port with very little blur look, will probably try to De-Blur as much as it permits.
after running the Atrix port for about 2 weeks, I'm going back to eclipse, the atrix port has been giving me problems using wifi tethering and honestly, the longer I use it the more it lags and the slower it gets.
eclipse gave me NO problems whatsoever (except for crappy battery life) but that was version 5, I'm trying to hold out for blurless 7 but I don't know if I can wait that long.

used both atrix port 0.4 and eclipse v7, and i have to say that speed of Eclipse v7 is unparalleled...so far battery life is also pretty good...
Plus i am definitely liking the default cyan theme...
Id go to v.7 if there was a red and black theme. I like the Win 7 ROM that Peperm1nt just released. Its still in its beta with some fixes coming soon, but I like it because its fast and looks different because of Launcher 7. Might want to give it a try!

Eclipse 2.03 is a great rom. Nitro provides a lot of support even though he works on different devices. It is a fast and good performing rom! You can not go wrong with Eclipse. There are also tons of great themes for it as well.

Eclipse...without a doubt. It is stable and extensively supported. Check out the website eclipserom.com

Eclipse definetly. Nitros already mentioned that there will be more to come for the X2.

Well, guess I'm a Liberty guy. Eclipse is great but I ran Liberty a long time when I had my X and when I saw it here, I jumped on it and never looked back. It runs flawlessly for me. Tried the new Eclipses but I always end up going back to Liberty. LOL, for some reason I feel like I'm in somebody elses house when I'm not using Liberty. So..............
I'm running Liberty on the ol X2. I've ran eclipse since its earlys, but once Liberty came out I've ran it. Just seems to have a little better battery life to me, plus its smooth & fast. But don't get me wrong, eclipse is also a great rom. You really can't go wrong either way.
Eclipse.....
Need I say more?
See my signature
Eclipse saved the x2
I just switched from a DX w/ MIUI, to a DX2. My first choice was Eclipse 2.0.3 and I'm loving it so far. Great speed, a lot snappier than my I old phone.
I do miss MIUI tho.
molten
Molten has excellent battery, one of the best out there as far as I'm concerned. I can tweak everything I need to on Molten, and it has battery percentage on top right of status bar (yes a little thing, but something that has always bugged me). Very fast, faster even than my rooted stock launcher pro, which was faster than most. Pretty easy to use, as well, settings are nice.

Eclipse has had the one percent battery indicator forever.
It was the first ROM on the x2 tho come with it..
Just saying. Sounded like u were saying molten was the only one that has that....which isn't the case.
Nah, not the only one, just that it's a regular option, rather than a work around like some others, to have the percentage in the top right, and that's a big selling point for me.
Just giving the highlights of why I like molten, not dissing any other one.

Either unrooted, or a rom that doesn't have a default option for that. Eclipse does, and I could be wrong, especially if updates occurred, but I think a couple other roms don't have that settings checkout like molten and eclipse. I I could just be thinking of roms for other phones besides x2, that's always possible...lol

But really, I'd like to see more from Peperm1nt. His GBP ROM is pretty darned good and he's quick to answer questions should you have any.
With that said, I really appreciate all of the devs who spend time on the DX2. Moto has not made it easy for them, yet they've brought us some pretty cool stuff.

Quick Note....Search bar. This topic has been raised twice in the past month.
But while I'm here I might as well put into it... I've been on CM7, MIUI, Molten and Eclipse and Eclipse is hands down the best. I don't know that bugs actually exist on this rom. Miui has seriously video issues, Molten isn't up to snuff over all, Cm7 is solid but the wifi connection is what turned me away, it is annoying as he'll even with the wifi fix scripts. Eclipse doesn't have a single on of these problems. Not one.

I'm on eclipse 2.1 now & my wifi keeps dropping & re-connecting from time to time. It's annoying. I heard the earlier versions of eclipse are far more complete than 2.1

When I was on CM7, when I reboot it gets stuck at the boot screen at times. Followed all directions to the letter & i had a wifi problem also like some ppl had. that's what drove me away
Are you sure you are on the correct android build? Cm7 is fairly stable but it foes have its share of issues, none major by any means though. I would say eclipse is the most stable for the x2, and that's comming from a guy who runs cm7. Double check that you are on 2.3.5 for eclipse and not 2.3.4.

I finally dumped cm7 after three months of the wifi disconnects. Aside from that it's my favorite. I'm running eclipse 2.1 and it is solid, zero wifi problems sooooo happy about that. I do miss some of the cm7 features (long press pull down widget, swipe away notifies, lock screen options, overall customization). So far I'm sticking with eclipse 2.1.

Those are all definite benefits of cm7 especially the lockscreen for me...that was a huge thing that I liked about cm7. I do agree though that eclipse 2.1 is the most stable overall...do wish it was completely aosp but it is what it is I suppose huh

That is really odd. There has to be an issue elsewhere. My wifi drops twice a week...

Kinda makes you wonder why the /418 ud has the same kernel as /413 & not the popular /412?
Also my Mx2 port won't work w/o /413.
edit This may have come about cuz the /412 has kernel 00007 & /413 has 00008.
Eclipse 1.3 was very stable in every way. Does not have all the goodies in 2.1 but is very stable. Cm7 is good also with a little massaging lol

Yes, I've checked my version it says 2.3.7
CadenH is referring to your kernel. It is from a particular blur rom & unalterable.
So for example if the rom wants you on 234 leak . Your kernel will be ...00005... & the rom replaces all but that & other locked partitions.
Has anyone heard/know of a fix for the LP icon changing in the MIUI ROM, I would say by far that the MIUI ROM has the most features and by far is the sexiest and one of the better ROM's out there. I am brand new to Android and have been in the iPhone Modding world for too long.
Once I get these files systems figured out and learn a little bit more, Ill be building and tweaking ROMs for the DX2

well my kernel says 2.6.32.9-00007
Here is my list of 235 kernels but I have not been on 412 in a long time & I thought (edit 00007 is 412) was 412. Could some step in who is on 412 & confirm?

SORRY for my confusion but, KK did you want to be on 412?

From what I'm seeing from the link you've post. I need to be on the one with the working wifi. I don't know how I get on 00007, I followed every direction. I'm confused now.
Well, I know everybody has a different opinion about "best". But my DX2 is getting slower everyday. It is running the stock 2.3.4 rom currently. I have had to pull the battery out multiple times in the past month just to get out of the frozen mode. That's no fun!
So, here I am looking for a new rom, wifi is vital to me since I use it all the time, well, pageplus does not give much choice. Camera/camcorder are also extremely important (so miui is out?). Other than that, the rom should be as stable as possible, as snappy as possible. With the stock rom, open each app is a painful waiting of 2-3 seconds.
Alright, folks, please recommend! TIA
Upgrade to 2.3.5
Flash Eclipse
Enjoy.

Cm7 rc1 u can't go wrong wit that no lag buttery smooth no music skippin cm7
Droid X2 CM7
+1 for CM7
Liberty was my first rom and it was smooth and stable, but really plain. Now I use CM7 and love it. Smooth, stable, and looks nice! I just installed the Ice Cream Sandwich theme and I don't see myself changing anything for a while!
I'm gonna say a tie between eclipse and cm7. I switch between the two often and they are both great and about equal in performance.

CM7 for stability. I do have to do occasional battery pulls, but it's not for performance related issues...
Does CM7 still have the wifi issue? On the cm7 rom page, they said there may still be wifi sleep issue.
How about cameras? no bug found so far?

I just looked that one up and I must agree it is a good looking theme! When I get bored with ICS (which may take a bit, here are a few screenshots) I will give cyanbread a go.

i've seen a few people say this. it must be an app issue. i only got the DX2 a few weeks ago, used stock for less than 35 minutes, then i flashed RC0 and RC1 CM7. I've had 1 FC related to Google Play Music, but other than that it has been smooth and fast. The lag when I sbf'd was pronounced, but i've had zero issues with CM7. are people restoring app data through TB or something? it just doesn't make sense that people could install the same rom the same way, then some say "fast; awesome" and others say "unstable; buggy."

ICS 1.7 theme (decompiled to add transparent dialer and battery % mod)
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper
I'm more than happy with this setup. It's going to be on my phone for a while.
Cm7 rc1 problems, me too.
Ti-bu has caused me problems also.
I have come to use this way to restore data:
method 1 works best:

Weird how some people have problems with CM7 and some have none. I've been running it over 4 weeks with zero issues. No FCs or anything. I used Pete's method of rooting and of course you have to load a special modified CM7 X2 Bootstrap after installing CM7. I'm just curious as to what could be the cause of some people having issues.
Turn camcorder on, then turn flash on. Record, then turn of the cam. Fced twice forth me
