In light of the recent news that there is no 2.1 upgrade coming for the Cliq XT in Q4: This thread was started in hopes of assisting one another to find ways for not getting stuck with this phone. We are only victims if we do nothing.
If you're happy with your XT, this thread is not going to be helpful to you. If on the other hand, you are seeking ways to approach Tmo or Moto, or you just need to hang out with people who understand your frustration, this is your spot.
Modding talk is allowed. We ask that you please provide links and as much information as will be helpful to a person seeking remedy. Modding is a choice...a freedom, so that you don't feel victimized and left behind when "the powers that be" decide to EOL your phone. It is within your rights to Mod your phone just as it is within your rights to upgrade any computer that you have purchased (or own). It is NOT against the law to Mod your phone! It MAY void your warranty however. But there are programs out which can take your phone back to factory specs so be aware of this.

If you have come over from the Moto Forum, please let us know who you were over there so that we can recognize you! LOL
Lastly, if someone has been helpful to you in any way, there is a little "Thanks" button in the lower right hand corner of their post. Please take a minute to thank someone for being helpful! It is appreciated

Guys here are my top 3 Recommendations on the ROMS to be used on the CliqXT. These ROMS with their prospective patches are considered to be very close to bug free.
1. Basically Blurless MM278
2. Adlx 2.1.54-2 Consolidation
3. Motoblur 2.1.54
I recommend the first 2 ROMS the most (Adlx's and mine). They will pretty much give you an amazing CliqXT running Android 2.1.
There are works on Froyo and Gingerbread ROMS but those are still in development with bugs so they are not perfect for daily use like the above ones.
