I definitely need something to flash before I go crazy!
NOTE: this isn't a "what should I flash onto my phone now" type board, this is just a "I'm bored and realized I'm going crazy cause I don't have anything to flash."
by the way, I'm definitely not asking for any ETA's for any new roms.
Lol I know the feeling. My wife has a bionic and she finally let me root it and debloat it. But she will not let me put a custom rom on it. I so want to flash dhacker ICS on it I would put eclipse on it also but she is on. 902 and nitro is still working on the new version.
I switched back to my Samsung fascinate to cure my flash addiction.

haha, nice nice. i have many phones laying around but I definitely want to flash something on my daily driver (x2). I'm on CM7 right now and I'm really thinking of porting over a ROM and trying it out just so I can flash something to it..
I think i'm too impatient for my own good. :/
I know its dumb but I want to play with 2.3.6 no I don't have a Milestone, nor am I a developer just that freaking bored. The last flash I did was in a local Walmart. I scared a bunch of people Yelling OMG CM7 is Fking Awesome!!!! Tomorrow I will see if I need my old droid to get by till I unbrick, or not. LOL.... Something to do.

I am a courious person not sure why I know 2.3.5 & 2.3.6 files won't work. I actually want to poke around with the Atrix Port files to see if I can figure out what it will take to port it. I'm pretty good looking for different things that link a common denominator. Whether or not I can do it is a whole different story. I have never developed. But I have played around with the xml files with and without Hickups.
Smali and Java I have not tried yet I would like to try out of boredom. It would be cool to drop down toggles built in for an app that can be changed out for another. Like I said Just Bored thats all. Probably long run I will defiantly crash and brick.

How sad is this? I was on cm7 and then sbf'd to stock 2.3.4. Things didn't run too bad, but then I couldn't stand it anymore. It just felt...dirty.
So I nandroided back to cm7. I feel guilty, like I was cheating.

I was running CM7 and installed miui on top. Didn't really like miui but restoring CM7 backup seemed like cheating. So I installed CM7 on top of miui. CM7 on top of miui on top of CM7. Interesting.

What's up guys. I need some help picking the best ROM for me. I know there's tons of them on here, by I'm a novice to Android, and honestly don't even really get te difference between firmware and a ROM. I want some very specific feature which is also why I made this thread seeking your help.
I'm an old iPhone user.. did all the jailbreaking and all myself and even though I think the TB is better than my old iPhone I would love to incorporate some of the "fluidity" it had. Specifically I'm looking a ROM that wouldn't interrupt my music when I get a text to play to notification sound, instead play it on top of the song playing at the moment. I would also like to initiate access the play/pause skip buttons without having to unlock my TB, like double pressing the home button on an iPhone and the play buttons pop up even if you weren't playing any music.
The last and most important to me would be this one: on the iPhone there is a security option that if you have a password set and let's say the phone is stolen and someone tries unlocking the phone more than an allowed number of times(set by the user) it erases EVERYTHING on the phone. These are all I can think off right now. Like I said, I'm a novice to Android and I will appreciate any help and advice I can get. I already had my TB rooted but I just updated the verizon firmware on my TB not knowing that it would un-root it.. so I'm trying to find a ROM ASAP.
Thanks
Edit: I would also like to make my TB run on gingerbread and improve the battery life.
I suggest BAMF roms. I'd give you the website link but I may get banned for it.

It's really about trying them out for yourself. Alot of what you want is available through apps. Not even sure you need to root.
As far as bamf ROMs, they decided to leave xda but if you google them, you should find them.
XDA does not like you linking other sites that do the same thing.
I suggest them because they ate always updating their roms, they have a good group of people happy to assist you, and the roms are just really well done. Chingy does great work too. But apparently posting to another forum gets you banned these days. Google "Team BAMF". :-]

it is against the rules on xda, and its their site.
OP, I've been using gingertheory, which is a gb rom with a hybrid sense of 3.0 and 2.1. Very smooth and fast. The same dev also makes a senseless version of GB that is very light and you can add custom lockscreen to that can have audio controls.

The one that fits your needs the best, which may or may not reflect the opinions of those in the thread. In short, you need to research and/or try many different ones. The lazy way of asking others won't give you the best results.
Synergy is my favorite. I've tried CM7, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, Injectedtheory, and Tesla Coil.
CM7 was my second fav, but Synergy was just farther ahead in development. They are doing nightlys now and things are very smooth. Running on the newest leaked GB base and radio, and it runs on ziggys kernel, which seems to be second to none.

Now that Netflix has officially come out for the Thunderbolt, I am sticking with the official MR2 ROM that is the same as stock but rooted and deodexed. All of the apps I want to run work fine plus I have root for things like Titanium, LBE Privacy Guard, SetCPU and VNC so I see no reason to change. I was considering it for Netflix but since that works fine there is no need to. Perhaps when the other roms have stable releases rather than just nightlies/betas/RCs I will switch to a custom rom.

A lot of the ROMs are pre rooted. I am using Aura because of the Deblur but the wifi is iffy. Others like the Alien ROM, it performs very well but the battery life OC'd can be a bit short.
Need to be unlocked first though, before flashing any ROMs
true dat!! check out mramirezusa's automatic unlock utility in the dev thread.
I know it needs to be unlocked lol ill be looking into that today

I am using Aura as my daily. On build #8 right now. No issues with WiFi as was previously stated. This is a rock solid ROM, and the dev is constantly updating. I would seriously give this a try if I were you.
With CM7 being in pre-beta still, there are a number of functions still not working per the release notes. If you just got the phone, I would go with Aura or Alien to start with.

Agreed. Although CM7 was giving me amazing battery life..without the webtop and fingerprint scanner..I couldn't stick with it (and my guess is if you've got the lapdock..your gonna want a webtop friendly rom ). I really hope they incorporate webtop and fingerprint into final builds of CM though..
Me too buddy I love me some webtop on my laptop dock
Ok so I just rooted having some trebles with cwm recovery but I think I seen a post on that

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.

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

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.
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?

It did not work for me.
I like my Mx2 port & I am finally getting it debloated.

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.

What are you running? Are you running MX2? Themed? CM7?

im running 'old school' eclipse 1.3 (2.3.4) because i dont want to upgrade to 2.3.5, i honestly like it, plus i had a lot of problems with cm7 RC1 and i knew eclipse was awesome and pretty done. yes it has blur but its worth it to have a stable ROM

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."

I'm running...
CM7 7.2 RC1 (daytona)
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

First I want to thank everyone on this forum for all the nice work, and great information. Now my question, My wife and I both have Droid x2 phones, and have both seen increased issues since the 2.3.5 OTA from Verizon. I am a very tech-savy guy, I do IT for a living, but still am not 100% comfortable with flashing phones. I have SBF'd my Droid x2 a few times, and finally got the courage to flash Eclipse 2.3 on it. I would like to explore some different roms, but am wonder how to tell which stock(2.3.4 or 2.3.5) I should have installed before flashing a rom? I did read that Eclipse 2.3 you needed to be stock 2.3.5, but I am looking at CM7 and CM9, but could not see where it was stated to be on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. Would someone be so kind as to give me a bit of incite on this. Does a rom have to say it is for you phone to flash it? example I was looking at CM10, jellybean rom but do not see it listed for the droid x2?
Thanks for all your help

EVERY ROM, other than eclipse needs to be on 2.3.4 before flashing. And as far as CM10, we dont have it at the moment. The only ROMs we have are CM7, CM9, AOKP and Paranoid Android which are all for 2.3.4. And Eclipse which, again, is the only one on 2.3.5.

Also, a little background on our phone and the ROMs...
Our phone is running a Gingerbread kernel and that can't be changed. Even with the ICS ROMs, it is still running on a Gingerbread kernel due to our phone having a locked bootloader. That being said, all of our ICS ROMs, wont really be 100%. They run, and for a lot of people, they run really well. But you may get stuttering and lockups and random reboots every now and then. Some apps like netflix don't work since we have memory and graphics issues. But everyone feels different about what is a deal breaker. I have been running ICS since we got it and love it. If you want a fully working ROM though, CM7 or Eclipse is the best way to go. But it doesnt hurt to try everything out at least once.

So if i have a nandroid backup of another rom do i have to sfb back to stock to do a restore?
Nope. Be careful if switching from and ICS back to a gingerbread. Should be ok but I've seen people have problems.
