What is Liberty?

Liberty is a ROM for the Droid X and Droid 2. After installing Liberty ROM you and your device will become liberated from the lockdown Moto has placed on it. We believe you chose an Android phone because you love the ability to customize your phone. Liberty does this best from its customized & fast base, Liberty toolbox, settings, customizer, themes and much more.

=================================================

Common Questions and Errors:
(work in progress)

I have a Droid 2 Global and you guys don't seem to support me.

Yes, Liberty is only officially for the Droid 2 and Droid X. It's not that we don't like you :p but rather because we don't have your device to test on. Liberty would love to help get it ported better to these types of phones by working with the community though.

After moving to Liberty I installed bootstrap and now I get a blank screen. What's the deal?

Droid X bootstrap no longer works correctly on Gingerbread but Droid 2 Bootstrap works fine. Also, Liberty installs bootstrap for you! No need to reinstall it after installing the ROM.

The Liberty Customizer is pretty sweet but can I access it again?

Yes, go to Settings > Liberty Settings

WTF, Liberty Settings is force closing on me in 2.0.1. What's the deal?

You most likely installed a theme with the old Liberty Settings which doesn't support the settings fix. You can always access Liberty Settings by going into Liberty Toolbox, clicking menu button and then click on "Settings". In 2.0.1 there is actually a bug in Liberty Settings if you go through the normal settings menu so I suggest accessing it via Liberty Toolbox.

I updated to Liberty Gingerbread but now the Rom Manager doesn't show as much in Liberty Toolbox.

This is on purpose to hide things you should not install on Gingerbread.
