[Q] Best ROM to Use as a Starting Point - Droid X Themes and Apps

I recently got into flashing custom ROMS onto my Droid X. I have had it since launch and was rooted from the day the first root was released, rooted after the 2.2 OTA and recently, have gotten kinda bored of the same old launcher pro and got into looking at custom ROMs. Last night I successfully went through the process of flashing ZapX semi-blurless rom. I loved the speed and not having all the moto junk but have noticed that you can't necessarily use themes on blurless ROMs. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good ROM or themed rom that I could manually remove bloatware or at the least a themed ZapX rom? Thanks for the help in advance!

rubix focused 0.5, period

Haven't tried zapX yet. I've run Rubix for a few days and it's been great. Just loaded Apex this morning, but haven't had time to 'run it through its' paces'.
As for themeing, if you are comfortable with editing the zip file for the theme, just remove the blur related APK's that have been removed from your system
May take a little investigative work to make sure you remove the right ones, but it's doable.
FYI, Fabolous (Apex) also released a version of his NexTheme for the Apex ROM and it looks pretty nice.

Thanks for the help! Im probably gonna use the RubiX ROM and mess around with the .zip

I have fabolous nextheme with teenfaces + bigdx (swype + multitouch) + removed blur related themed apks + win7font (probably from env theme) + vanilla lock screen mod
And I am loving it

One of these days you'll work up enough nerve to branch out and truly customize your device.
LMAO

so if i have a rom installed (the deodexed 2.2 OTA that someone released), and then I install another rom on top of it, is it completely replaced?
whereas if i install 1 theme on top of another, they coexist?
also, themes can only go on top of roms that are deodexed, correct?

The way I understand is that the theme only replaces portions of the ROM that realate to the visuals. It leaves the meat of the ROM applying to it operating intact. Correct me if im wrong.

Yes & no. Themes generally only replace certain files, but many times those files are certain application APK's. And the theme may ADD apk's that you didn't have (ie, you have a blur-less ROM, and put on a theme that includes blur stuff).
If two themes don't change/replace the same file, then yes portions may co-exist.
Not all ROM installations are completely wiping /system. Some of them only replace the portions of /system that have been modified. Thus, you could theoretically get some intermixing of two ROMS as well.

if im getting ready to go from an OTA 2.2 rooted w/ build.prop mods and bloatware frozen; what would you suggest doing to retain a list or backup of my current aps to know what i want when i get back up and running after flashing to rubix blurry? appbrain sync be sufficient?
also, syncing contacts/etc possible via backup assistant; or is that removed as well (or down-loadable in the market)?
im looking to get back to where i am now widget, app, contacts, etc wise after getting back up with the least problems due to no syncing or having to write everything down.

Appbrain will certainly work for creating/maintaining a list of your current apps.
The Froyo Market app, however, also does this if you have your google account set to backup. When I re-flash (way more than I would like to admit ), first time I sign into my google account, and go into market, it starts downloading (a very long list!) of apps that I had.
Note that this will just get your apps/widgets installed. Any data/settings/screen layouts will need to be re-created. I've not found a good way to restore this yet. While there are some programs (titanium) that will do this, it's been known to create problems.
As for contacts, I have both an exchange and g-mail accounts. My contacts are automatically synced there. If you put all of your contacts on your google account, they should sync as soon as you sign in.
I don't know much about 'offline' methods of contact syncing.

For starters I would go with 928 Black Glass

As long as you don't use Titanium to restore anything for /system it works fine. that is where the problems all come from as people restore /system things from an old build that does not work on there new build.
IMO the best way to restore apps if you want all your data settings back is to use My Backup Pro.

Wow, and I thought I was the only person with Appalachian Wireless to Root, you know I had a terrible time rooting. Just about every guide I could find was for Sprint only. I wish I had found you about 2 months ago. I had to upgrade to the Stock 2.1, before I was able to root. Did you have as hard of a time getting your Hero rooted as I did on Appalachian Wireless? Just curious.

OK because all my files on mediafire got wiped
and i was going to release this newer version in a couple days anyway, i decided to go ahead and post it tonight.
the only thing missing that i wanted to include in this version is some custom mods i made for it.
i decided to just add them to the original post as metamorph addons instead of including them with the rom, that way you can pick and choose which ones you want instead of me I'll try to have them up soon.
Very nice codejunkie. You've got a little more accomplished with this rom than what I got done with it. My rom was pretty much bare stock. Nothing removed. I was able to get it de-odexed, but when I started looking into changing the rosie, that was when things started becoming unstable.

Questions from a NOOOOB

I have a bunch of questions, but here is where I'm at.
I had 2.2 stock OTA. I then used bootstrapper to place dr154's Deodex OTA 2.2 onto my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794007
Next, I again used bootstrapper to put NexTheme on my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749692
Question 1: Are both the deodex OTA and NexTheme now on my phone, or did NexTheme replace the deodex OTA? If I were to load another Theme on, would all 3 coexist or would the other(s) be replaced?
Question 2: If I were to factory reset my phone, what would it revert to? Stock? dr154's deodex? Etc.
Question 3: If vzw released a system update, do I have to do anything to my phone before I receive it?
Now more questions regarding SYSTEM APPS.
Problem 1: MotoTorch was preloaded as a system app, as a part of either Deodex or NexTheme, assuming these coexist. When a new version came out in the market, I could not update to it, because it was a system app. Superuser, same thing, a newer version came out, couldnt get it, "installation unsuccessful".
Problem 2: Additionally, lots of the system apps aren't even recognized as installed by the market. So sometimes you won't even know if an update is available. This was the case with MotoTorch.
So I used the common solution that everyone uses and that I found with a little searching, I loaded adb and mounted /system/app as rw, then removed the apks. Then reinstalled them from the market. Then remounted /system/app as ro.
My question regarding system apps is this:
Question 4: What is the advantage of having an app be a system app?
Question 5: The stock system apps such as Amazon Mp3, or City ID - can I safely remove these? Which ones CANNOT be removed? When I did ls /system/app, there were a huge number.
Lastly, I am new, so I'm sorry if I missed it or could have search it or whatever, but I'm wondering....
Question 6: What is tranquility exactly? I see a lot of themes say they're based of tranquility? If I wanted it, where could i find the newest version? If I install a theme based off tranquility, and then a new version of tranquility comes out, can I reinstall tranquility on my phone, then reinstall the theme and will then the theme be using the newest tranquility?
Question 7: What are the advantages of being blur-less?
Question 8: Is xda the best place to find new themes? Or is there another more centralized site?
Thank you very much for any answers!!
just about everyone of your questions are answered somewhere on the web, but ill give it a shot anyways.
1. Themes only replace certain apks, (this is usually stated in the themers OP) so at times you are most likely going to have a merge of themes, sometimes you will notice it sometimes you wont.
for example, you load a new rom which has apks 1-20. Now you load a theme that has apks 1-6. next you decide to load theme 2 that has apks 1-4. then you load theme 3 with apks 1-2. so even though your main theme is is theme 3, you still have parts of 1 and 2.
2. I would avoid a factory reset, just keep a backup and a copy of the rom your on. And if need be boot to recovery and restore one of those.
3. Yes you would need to revert back to bone stock, best done with an sbf. Google it, that subject is beaten to death.
your using the term system app wrong.
1-2. if the apps were loaded and pushed to system/app they usually wont update. the apks should be in data/app.
when you did the mount/uninstall/install this loaded the apk to the proper data/app location.
4. again wrong terminology. consider system app an app that is either neccesary for phone to run or an apk that MUST be in system/app
5. google "remove droid x bloatware"
6. would take way to long to fully explain that. newest can be found on rom manager or TBH.
7. personal preference, plus less &%$# running in the background.
8. no centralized site, you can find different stuff on different sites. mydroidworld, droid-life, droidforums, droidxforums, etc.
thanks for your answers, but when i ls /system/app i see a lot of useless junk that I am pretty sure aren't required for the system...
the theme gave me mototorch to /system not /data
Here's the BIG question. Did you make your own nandroid back-up before you started this whole process? In other words- did you go into bootstrap recovery and create a back up of your phone first? and then do all this other stuff? Bc that is the easiest and number one way to return your phone to its factory settings. In fact- at this point it may be the only way. With 2.1 we had an SBF file which was essentially the original "rom image" (i come from windows mobile so forgive me). So if you were tinkering around or flashing roms and something happened - you could restore using the SBF to the factory state.
On 2.2 there is no complete SBF. Team Black Hat released a partial SBF they are calling a "system SBF" that can help people that have fubared their phone installing themes and what not. But i don't think it returns the phone to factory settings- I could be wrong since I am a complete newb to android.
So to make a long story even longer- that is why I asked if your remembered to make your own nandroid back up of your phone b4 you did all this stuff- so you have a way to return your phone to its original factory state. If you did not- then don't let it bother you. I have read many posts from seasoned android users that simply got excited and forgot to do it. Eventually - the SBF has to be leaked and we all can sleep a little easier.
I didn't make a nandroid backup. Thanks for letting me know about this, now I know not to try to revert until a true sbf comes out, you might have just saved me from bricking. I guess if an OTA comes out, and we still don't have an SBF, I'll just have to wait for a customized version of that OTA to be released.
Turns out the full SBF was released yesterday by the way:

Yes- this is confirmed lagitamate. So you are good to go. You can now restore to factory by downloading this sbf and using RSDlite (RSDLight? - can't remember).
So- didn't have to wait to long

Try using Root Explorer. Go into /system/app and find both Facebook and Twitter.. Rename them from .apk to .bak, now go and install them from Market. Hopefully this helps.

If Im not mistaken, there should be a Deodexed version of Tranquility floating around. You will have to wipe but you can always do an advanced resore of data from your previous backup so you wont have to go through all that headache again. Have you tried any of the other blurless ROMs? Im on APEX and it is deodexed, blurless, and blazing fast. Maybe some of the Senior members can jump in and help us out with some feedback as well. Im a little curious now as to why you may still be having these problems.

So I've come up empty as well. Here is what I tested on my X and it worked. Downloaded the 2.2 OTA Deodexed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794007
Then Grabbed the Tranquility download and Installed. Everything went off without a hitch.
Here are other people that had success as well.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ty-2-3-5rc-completely-deodexed-ota-2-2-a.html
Hopefully this at least points in the right direction.
FYI any version of TranQ is deodexed. and even if your /system is not deodexed it will deodex it for you.
IMO tho you are better off installing a deodex /system first then install TranQ over it. reaosn being is that wya you know you have a deodexed /system before hand just incase TranQ took a crap doing it during the install process.
BTW IMO there is no reason to wipe data when changing ROMs. I've tried and test just about every X ROM out there and have yet to wipe data on any install. There really is no reason to. All these ROMs are only touching /system and have nothing to do with the /data partition. It is not like back on the Droid where they were full custom ROMs when it was required to do so. The only time I'd wipe data is if you are having an issue otherwise it is not needed.

That is good to know. I think I have just been accustomed to doin the full wipe because of my old Droid. I also see a lot of the ROM developers request it.

[Q] Some quick questions

Hey xda, just a stupid noob with some questions.
I've rooted my Droid X with z4root a while ago, and I have the essentials (Clockwork recovery/ Titanium Backup/ etc.). I recently came across ROM manager and attempted theming, despite not being deodexed. Somehow it actually worked, and now I have a black notification bar and other UI enhancements, but is it a bad thing that this was accomplished without being deodexed?
Also, I've heard that gingerbread is coming to the X as well. With my root and theme, will I still be able to receive an OTA update (assuming it exists)? I haven't touched the bloatware, so only some UI bits have been changed. I can still restore from a point from before the theme, but would I need to unroot?
And lastly, assuming this update doesn't actually exist, I will end up downloading Liberty or something like it. I understand how to do it, but I'm not sure what will happen to all my contacts. What is the best way to back them up just in case?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can apply a theme withouth deodexing, but best practice is to deodex as theming odexed files can lead to issues sometimes. Gingerbread MAY br coming to the DX. P3droid is working on a release, but I believe they are working on getting it rooted.
As far as going to liberty, just make a backup prior to loading the rom. And I recommend syncing your contacts to your google account. Loading liberty will wipe everything out, but when you sync your google account if your contacts are synced to ur google account, you can restore them easily

Yeah, I compulsively backup my phone. What's the best way to get rid of some of these unneeded backups? Just a manual delete from the SD? Or am I being an idiot and they don't take up much space?

I connect my phone to my pc and put my phone into usb mass storage mode. Then I copy the backups to my pc and then delete them from my sdcard. While some backups may not be large, the more you load and have on the phone the larger the backups will be. Many small backups can add up over time...

phone apk question for GB

I would like to know what process is entailed in changing out a phone.apk
I am running a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom deodexed, but with a stock dialer and I hate it.
I have seen some roms using an ics style dialer thats much cleaner, but I cant figure out how to make the switch.
I tried asking for and installing a copy of the ics style phone.apk ( renamed old one, copied new one in, set permissisons, rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik, rebooted, and fail - the lock screen came up but when unlocked the phone was just black and I was forced to cwm reinstall rom).
Pointers?
i belive you installed a wrongrom or something in the system that went wrong like it being odexed or deodexed

Also try a different APK, they don't all work with all ROMs
Also, you can flash a theme with a better dialer or use a theme manager engine if you are on CM7 base too.
ok, so basically switching out the contacts.apk and phone.apk should have worked with proper permissions set up, I just used a wrong type of apk?
I hadnt thought about just theming it - havent gotten into that yet, but thanks for the suggestion, as I may look into that then.

It could work with another APK, depends where you got it from. A Sense APK would never work in an AOSP ROM for instance.
Theming might be more fun.
