Hello,

I just received my Motorola Droid this past Friday. Verizon offered it to me after going through 3 HTC Eris's, 2 in one month.

I love this phone! It is so much faster and more responsive.

I want to root, what are the best roms to do this with?

Thanks.......:)

Hey JScott,

I also came from a rooted Eris.

I went with Bugless Beast. Seems to be one of the roms with the best reputation around here. The dev is really good at what he does.. and it's pretty much bugless :rolleyes:

So far I haven't switched roms. Did soooo much rom switching on my eris that my wife was about to leave me... and when she saw the new phone:eek:
Lets just say I'm happy with BB and dont see a reason to switch.
