So I'm running eclipse 1.1 with launcher pro and go SMS. I'm wanting to get something new. I ran 1.3 but Pandora seemed to lag a lot so I flashed back to 1.1 but my battery doesn't seem to last long enough and I'm getting bored and want something new lol so what do you guys suggest?

How recent have you tried 1.3? I remember there being some bugs with some of the audio in the beginning, but I'm pretty sure they have been worked out. 1.3 on my X2 works pretty good and battery life is tolerable considering how much I use it. I'm not running any extra scripts or add-ons or what-not. Just Eclipse.
I might re download it this weekend, although I just saw something about 2.0.1?

I've been on Liberty v3.0 for the past month and absolutely love it. Even with the SPB 3D Shell (which is a memory hog), the phone is responsive.
And the customizing options are awesome ...

There isn't a version 3.0 of Liberty. It's called Liberty3. The highest version we have is 1.0
So people seem to love eclipse 2.0.1 what's so much better about it? Because I'm gonna have to return to stock to get 2.3.5 in order to flash it

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.

Eclipse is the only true X2 ROM right now, and IMO (blurless) is the very best.

+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.

Eclipse v7 RC FTW...
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!

DX nor Bionic are done but I start the DX2 work next week
Still doesn't touch Eclipse in my opinion
It's another option. My wife ran Liberty 1.5, I think, on her Droid 2 and I thought it kicked ass; it was feature rich, clean, smooth and had many themes w/in the toolbox or whatever. Eclipse is great, but more options is even greater.

MIUI is my favorite so far.
How does Eternity compare to Bamf/Bamf Soab? It's hard to find clear comparisons with all of the variety out there.
ps. I'm actually still on the stock GB rom right now
Enternity here as well.
I believe because of all the Sense 3.5 elements, it's a hair slower than others.
Mine is OC'd to 1.2 with Lagfree Governer.
That being said, it's fine with me.
Rock solid. I've dabbled in every ROM out there.
BAMF does make a solid ROM. DroidTh3ory was making killer ROMs.
I have a backup of ProTekk's updated CM style ROM to go just because...
In my opinion, Eternity and BAMF SonOfAB ran very similar in speed/performance and reliability.
Patiently waiting working Data, Phone and sms/mms on Twisted/DroidVicious ICS build...
All the ROMs you mentioned are solid. But the right one for you is like asking you what kind of car/truck you drive.
Backup, try 'em...only way you'll know.
Using MIUI although the Son of a Bliss ROM was also one that kept me for a long time. I still feel CM7 has battery drain issues but maybe it's just me.
Eternity for me...
My only other choice would be BAMF SoaB because I want Sense 3.5 but I prefer Eternity and I really can't think of a reason why, it just works for me.
CM7 for me!
Love my 11/14 release of CM7. I have never had batt issues, maybe cause I cal the batt after each new rom?
CM7 seems to me the closest total Android experience I have found for my TB.
I'm looking forward to CM9!
Where can I download cm7 or soab

I'm currently running Liberty3 and since it looks like development on that is dead I was going to move. Which one should I look at and why?
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.
Eclipserom.com for the newest 2.03 version.
Eclipse...without a doubt. It is stable and extensively supported. Check out the website eclipserom.com

I tried most of them. Kept going back to Eclipse. It's the most stable and most refined and best supported. And since version 2.0 it has all the features that I missed most from the my old Droid that was running CM7.
And to keep the trend going: Go to eclipserom.com !

Eclipse definetly. Nitros already mentioned that there will be more to come for the X2.
you forgot gingerbread phone 7 =)
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.

Just conversing
I still don't understand what you mean.
Eclipse has the battery percentage there as well....I don't understand what you mean by work around? Just curious
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

I've used every ROM posted here at XDA that applies to the DX2. I don't have a favorite but Molten and Eclipse are very full featured. I was a loyal user of Liberty on my old DX and think it's one of the greats.
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.
Cheers.

Eww Eclipse. I had such horrid battery life on there, and the wifi issues are unbearable for me. It looked pretty though.
I still insist Liberty had the best battery life of any rom on the X2, and I think it had hdmi, can't remember, it's been awhile. If it weren't for my extended battery I would still be running it, but for now I'm on CM7.
Eclipse is where it's at!
Everyone here is going to tell you Eclipse or Liberty until CM7 or MIUI get HDMI output. Most likely MIUI will get it first though since CM7 doesn't support it. With the limited amount of ROMs available for the X2, you only have so many choices.
