Roms for Droid X2 - Motorola Droid X2

I have my Droid X2 rooted and I have never tried to flash roms. Can anyone please give me a detailed layout on how to go about flasing roms? Prefered Roms that you like to use would be helpful.

Hi I'm new to all this and tried searching and this thread was the closest thing I could find. I just recently rooted my x2 and OTA updated to 2.3.5. I was wondering how I can install the cm9 a5 on my droid? thanks for the help

CM9 is pretty good to if you want ICS on your DX2. I was using it on my X and loved it. Then my X crapped on me by the ear piece speaker going dead and Verizon is sending me a X2 for replacement. Will be putting CM9 on my X2 when it arrives.

Eclipse is probably the best problem-free ROM right now. Very good and very stable. I personally like CM7 the best because of the level of customizations it includes. You have a lot more control and settings readily available to you. CM7 does have a bit of a Wi-Fi bug that makes it less than perfect but I still prefer it over Eclipse. Some would say CM9-A5 is good enough as a daily driver but for me battery life and multiple random reboots keep me from using it as a daily driver.

I was on eclipse for about a week then I decided to switch over to cm7.2. I'll never go back to eclipse. I found that I still had a lack of memory comparable to stock. Once I switched to cm7, I have a lot more ram available and it runs smoother. I've only noticed the wifi issue and a few app fc every once in a while. A quick reboot fixes the app fc. Reboot is literally less than a minute. Also, love the customization with cm7.

I have found that I don't really miss flash being on cm7. I tried cm10 a2 but there were too many bugs and it was slow. Eclipse with adw used too much of my ram and wasn't as smooth. Any hints on how to make eclipse run smoother and not use as much ram? I do love adw ex using eclipse more than the adw launcher on cm7 because there are more options with it being a newer version.

Maybe Eclipse with a combo of Holo launcher and V6 Supercharger. Works great for me.

the launcher 2 that comes with eclipse uses the same amount of ram. varying by 1 or 2. just saying. i use the new adw with elcipse and i have no lag. i also dont really use widgets and such though, as our phone cant really handle it.

also, just to metion, on CM7 , superuser will either stop working randomly in the middle of tasks, or just not work to begin with. i found this frustrating enough to just stick with eclipse. eclipse leaves everything functioning. and has themed swype! the old 3.26 ! just sayin.

I am brand new to the flashing game. Gave up a night's sleep a couple of nights ago because I was frustrated with my X2 and will have it for another year.
I just went strait for CM10 for daily use. I am finding it adequate but buggy.
What I LOVE is the way the contacts work now. I am a heavy group texter for volunteer groups and work. I find the contact interface worth the work around for FB and GoogleNow and loss of NetFlix.
I was wondering if I flashed to eclipse or CM7 is their an app or way to use my contacts with the same that comes with JB? Is there a way to save the format of my contacts from CM10?
It will take me a while to sbf stock and flash to Eclipse or CM7, lol.
