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'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."

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.

Flashed MIUI a few days ago and it is just amazing, I can't see myself going back to any other ROM. Don't know if it's device specific, but my GPS has always worked.
miui is amazing. just gotta work out the bandbase issue and ill be unstoppable
I've tried CM 7... looks awesome but I got problems with adding account, it cant retrieve something of the account!! now I have no market no gmail...nothing! I tried reflash and odin to stock then back to CM....didnt work
MIUI...sorry but its a freak copy of the Iphone... dislike
Now Im gonna try the simple honey...let's see....
I say try Blietzkrieg, it has a working GPS. Not themed or polished as others, but it's a VERY good Rom for 2.3
I've rocked it once, but I had to revert back to Trigger/NextGen because of issues with some apps I need for my work. But once it stables, I'll hop on that like a cop having a bag of donuts!!!

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 hands down
+1
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
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.

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.

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....

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.
Like the title says...
What is the most stable & lag free ROM out there for X2? I'm on Eclipse 2.1 & this wifi problem is killing me softly. I was on CM7 but I kept getting problems with it.
If you have a ROM w/ a certain version of it that you'll suggest, I'm all ears.

I don't really have any problems with CM7 other than wifi can take a while to connect...you may have to toggle it off and back on to get it to connect. I have not recently had any issues with it staying connected. I can't think of any other issues I've had. My wife has a DX2 stock and I used it for about 5 minutes today....that's enough to drive me crazy
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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
It's hard to deal with the memory issue with all the CM9 bases, love the roms hate the resets and lags.
I haven't ran miui4dx2 gb since it's first alpha is it stable enough to enjoy it. I love my miui or should I just stick with cm7 or eclipse?

Give my MIUI a go! It's fairly stable with little to no reboots. If you don't like it, you can always nandroid back.

If you wanna stay on 2.3.4 then i would give Twitish's Rom a go, from what i hear its pretty nice. I'm on eclipse because it is damn sturdy. Once MIUI or even AOKP get a bit more stable or DZK comes through with kexec i will definitely be SBF'ing back down to 2.3.4. Seems to be where all the action is!
Stick with CM7. I've tried all of them and CM7 is the smoothest and fastest.
I've tried eclipse liberty and cm7. Cm7 is pretty good but it seems like eclipse has less problems. I'm on cm7 now though cause most of the issues I can live with.

Try all of them. Thats what I do. You cant take anyone else's word when it comes to this question. You just have to try them out yourself and decide.

Yep, what he said.
Take a weekend, get a case of whatever you drink, and brick your phone until you find the one you like.

eclipse 2.3 for me.
i was getting terrible battery drain, but i remembered last night that i had 2.2 on there and just flashed over it- without fixing permissions in recovery mode.
so i said screw it, i wiped all data and reflashed. its much better now, probably working as it should be, although i still think there is room for improvement for the battery life.
I've ran everything and I can't beat stock battery life
The only other Rom that ruled in battery life was the gingerbread based miui has twice the life ;/

That's because our ICS Builds weren't going into Deep Sleep! Try my newest fix.
