Root Favorite ROM for the Droid X

[Btros]

Thought it would be interesting to see what the favorite ROMs are for the DX here. It would also help new users see what are the most widely used and tested ROMs when they make a decision what ROM to use.

I'm sure ApeX is going to win by a landslide but will be interesting to see what is number 2

Apologies if I missed any.

GummyJar 2.5

This one is kinda hard cuz, I LOVE Apex, but I've been using Gummyjar for the past few days and is pure awesomeness , super fast, but Im pretty sure im gonna end up back on Apex LOL

Currently on Gummy Jar 2.5, ApeX would be next as a Go To.

I have not tried Ultimate, Unleashed, Rumm Rrx, RubiX Blurry or Bazinga. The others are all good, just different. TranQ and RubiX Focused gave me random reboots but even then not really unstable.

 

[Outlaw71]

Wow, Gummy is actually in the lead??? Haha, that was my vote. But I figured on this board Apex would be king.

I expect it will be by the time everything is said and done.

 

[Zumi]

TranQ - it's been the most stable for me so far. I haven't really given Gummy a chance yet though, due to this....So I'm biased =)

I love Fission, but I'm kinda curious about GummyJAR now lol.

 

[Outlaw71]

Now they're (Apex and Gummy) tied 6 to 6... this was a good idea Btros. I was thinking of doing a poll such as this myself.

The thing you should know about GummyJAR is, it doesn't have many extra's included. It's really just stripped to the bone and geared towards flat out speed. So if you're a fan of ROMs with a lot of different options and what not, then it may not be for you.

But if you're looking for a ROM that make your device run slicker than snaght on a glass door knob, then I'd say look no further.

Fission for me.........but I've been tempted to try GummyJar lately

Yeah, I was surprised it hadn't been done yet when I searched for it.

And ApeX starts to pull away...

 

[DroidJW]

I've been real impressed with DarkSlide (now at v4.2)

Fast, NO issues

 

[apavolka]

Fission kinda surprises me. I figured there would be less votes.

 

[Trooper]

Up until the past few days, its been ApeX. But for the time being, Gummy Jar is where its at for me!

 

[Napalm]

have to admit there are a couple here I have never considered trying.

I think I am obligated to.

Currently on stock .340 rooted and de bloated.

 

[dhoffman1421]

Fission is not a huge surprise to me. Great ROM, fast and reliable with a great number of themes to add on. And with FRM there are plenty of other goodies too.

 

[Aggie12]

I've been on fission since it was first released. I tried all the other big ones (Apex, TranQ, GJ 2.5). I just flashed GJ and its nice and it can definitely hold its own against fission but where fission excels is with the Fission Rom Manager. It has a lot of themes (official and not official thanks to Faber78 ) Very easy to get it how you want it. What I really love about GJ though is the way the organization is when choosing homescreen widgets and how it groups all the options under one parent selection so it doesn't crowd it up. But overall Fission wins it for me it's just more polished. GJ will get there though.

This is one feature I LOOOVVEEE. Keeps the widgets menu from taking long from opening up too.. GJ has seemed to be the quickest with opening the widget menu compared to any other rom (for my phone at least).

This poll will be a decent idea of what ROM is the favorite of them all.. but remember it's a poll limited to these forums. Of the most popular, Apex is really the only one in which the dev has made a home of these forums. For others, such as GJ, XDA forums or the like are used for support.. and thus the larger percentage of supporters of the ROM are on those forums.

Clearly.

 

[Outlaw71]

It's a great idea for one because, if you see one that you've never tried before get a lot of votes, then it makes it easier to decide to try it. For instance, I was wanting to give Tranquility a run through to see what I though about it. But now that I see Fission with 7 votes, I would also like to give it a shot!

Just checking in from Disney World.

It's interesting, to me, to see the top roms in the top places. GJ is a fine new rom to add in there and I'm glad it's up there in vote count. The only surprising thing was that RubiX didn't get more votes. it's a fine rom and it's stable. Any reasons you can think of?

 

[Outlaw71]

I tried Rubix Focus and it was very slow on my phone, and not very stable. I flashed back to Gummy in less than 24 hours.

 

[Btros]

That's interesting - for me RubiX focused was just about as fast as GummyJAR. I did get a soft reboot every now and then on RubiX, which is why I decided to try Gummy. Haven't had nearly as many now so haven't gone back to RubiX. The reboots may have been fixed by now. But as far as speed, RubiX is as fast as Gummy for me.

huh.. I didn't know that. It seemed fine when I tried it. GJ is certainly a major player, as is Fission, Chevy Ssx 1.1 and Apex, imo.
