I'm pretty sure I just used z4root to root my droid x. Think it was running 2.2.340, if that sounds right. First time it didn't seem to work, but after a reboot and running it again it rooted fine.

For the SBF process, use either this guide here http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html#post106311 or this guide here http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html#post106312 . The first one is for windows, the second is linux, I used the linux version and it worked great. The only trouble I had was figuring out how to get into recovery, it seems every other website I found had a different way of doing it. I did on my phone by holding volume down and the camera button when I turned the phone on, and it went right into it. Once you're back at stock, root with z4root, install your bootstrap (I used the droid2 bootstrap program), and then go to here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/7651-official-dx-gingerbread-2-3-3-4-5-596-release-thread-something-everyone.html to get the update.zips you'll need. I used "Patched update.zip (not signed)" that's partway down the page. e. Man I do love the battery life I've been getting with this update though.

The only weird thing I've noticed with with Liberty 0.6 is that the battery seems to be stuck at 90%, like so. Any idea how I'd be able to reset that? e. Looks like com.android.apare_parts crashes when I try and look at battery history in the liberty settings. Probably need to reflash?

I rebooted after sbfing, then after updating to the rooted .596, and then I installed the 2 liberty zips in one go like the instruction says. You shouldn't loose the root or recovery after anything but the sbf, and worst case if you wipe everything I suppose you might need to reinstall the bootstrap, but that's about it. e. Nvm, you didn't sbf. Still, you might need to reroot and install bootstrap after you go back to stock, but it's still worthwhile to reboot and make sure you're on gingerbread correctly before installing liberty.

Yeah, I'm liking liberty so far. Mostly for the lock animation and the asop gallery app, though. And the stock cardock that lets me launch the google music app. Nothing revolutionary, but all nice changes to have. e. and hopefully recalibrating my battery will fix the battery stats.

None that I've seen, although people are saying that https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcameralite&feature=search_result works. The image quality with that camera isn't great since it's not full res, but it might be a temp fix for some people. I'm giving it a try now just for kicks. e. Have it installed and reactivated the phone! Now to see what does nad doesn't work, and if this CM is worth all the fuzz. e2.

CM7 is pretty good so far, but it making me realize that some of motoblur was really nice. Things like the camera app and the screen rotation for example. Hopefully some of that can be brought back in once the bugs get ironed out. Whatever this stock keyboard is, I like it. Doesn't. Seem the same as the normal gingerbread keyboard, but definitely the best non swype keyboard I've tried.

Anyone else running liberty having reboot issues? Mine just rebooted on my while it was sitting here, so I guess another question would be if there's a good way to tell if it's rebooted without you knowing? Only thing I can think of is keeping an eye on the battery history.

wolrah posted:I keep saying that the Android community really needs to get on the ball about differentiating functional changes from theming and stop just referring to it all as "ROMs". Fairly regularly I see new ROMs posted which combine a bunch of good modifications on top of stock or AOSP, but then were reskinned by someone who is apparently both color blind and slightly retarded to the point that they're unusable. If they'd just separate their questionable visual mods from the functional mods we'd all win. Why do you think so many people are excited about not needing to use motoblur

Haven't tried phone or mms, but those are both supposed to work fine now (who uses their phone to make calls, anyways?). Right not my only real issue with it is the whole "swipe to get rid of notifications", it just doesn't seem to work well for me. Looks cool when it works, but the blur style X button was faster and more reliable. Also as I'm typing this I'm not seeing any place to calibrate the compass, so google sky is a bit gimped for now.

Been running cyanogen on my Droid X for almost a week now, and I think i'm going to go back to Liberty. I just like the motoblur camera too much (at least being able to use the shutter button and whatnot), along with video capability. If neither of those things are an issue for you, then it seemed great! Fast, solid battery life (although didn't seem as good as Liberty), and I didn't have any data issues that I noticed (spent most of the time on wifi so if they were there it wasn't an issue). Will probably try it again if they every get the camera stuff worked out properly.

Gyshall posted:My Nook Color has been pretty sweet but I'm now interested in a real tablet. What tablets out there are root friendly and have custom ROMs (if any?) Its real easy to root and put recovery on the Acer iconia. There is a locked bootloader, so some stuff is an issue still, but I know you can get roms that give you the functionality of the other major tablets(samsungs hi for example). Asking in the tablet thread or checking out what is available on xda might be a good idea though.

Invader Tim posted:Can someone help me understand nandroid backups? I have a DX, and I went from stock to rooted to liberty to leaked GB to CM7 to MIUI . . . but only because each one had step by step instructions on how to go from whatever you were on to what they had. I just got CWM today, and found out i have a backup of liberty 1.5 and of whatever I had on my phone in February of this year. With the locked bootloader on the DX, I think the main issues with backups is that you can't flash from one kernel to the other that way,i.e. if you're on a gingerbread based rom like Liberty 0.9, you'll get stuck in a bootloop if you roll back to something froyo based like CM7 or Liberty 1.5. If you want to restore a backup like that you'll want to SBF back to the stock froyo rom, then after you reroot and flash the rom manager you can move around on the froyo based roms.

Dancing Peasant posted:I'm still on the fence as to whether I should jump to CM7 or MIUI. I'm currently using a Droid X with Liberty GB v0.9. I'm more inclined to move away from Liberty though since the current devs seem to be working on Justice more these days. The new version of MIUI (1.8.5 I think?) seemed to be giving me really good battery life again, and has the MIUI camera instead of the AOSP camera. Overall it's still not as stable as Liberty, and I don't think you can use the shutter button on the camera still. I'd say CM7 and MIUI are both to the point where it's definitively usable and worth trying out if you have an hour or two to spare. On a related note, I should be able to swap between CM7 and MIUI without major issues, right? That shouldn't require an sbf like going from a gingerbread based rom would.

Really haven't had any issues with battery life at all. It's crazy how all over board battery life seems to be with all these ROMs. I was sitting at about 50-60% yesterday after 12 hours of on time with CM7 on my DX. Still not sure if the battery life is as good as Liberty yet, but it's been more than enough to get me through the day.

ilkhan posted:Replacing the app drawer (to get one that smooth scrolls instead of scrolling by page). Easy? Hard? For a custom ROM on an EVO4G. What launcher are you using? I think most of the big launchers have that option to change in them, and if not you'll just want to install a launcher that does smooth scrolling (so it's probably really easy). e. For ADW, as an example, you go into the adw settings, then drawer settings, then click app drawer style and pick Verticle Plain. Should be something similar for whatever launcher you have.
