Going from Darkslide 4.2 froyo to newer gingerbread ROMs

[jblanchet]

Well about 6 months ago I rooted with Z4 and went to DarkSlide 4.2 ... I've never really been all that happy with it, but school got busy and then work this summer. Now my X has been constantly wanting me to take the OTA for Gingerbread for months now and I just click Install Later twice a day lol. I am wanting to try something new, but it's been so long that I don't know what the hell I'm really doing lol. And I'm sure you guys get this all the time but....

What's the favorite ROM out there for the X now? So many more options out there now, I see Liberty has a Gingerbread-based ROM, DarkSlide X is even out, as well as a CyanogenMod?!? I've been gone too long. And...

What steps do I need to do to get to said ROM from where I am now, a rooted DarkSlide 4.2 Froyo? It seems I read you can't really take the OTA gingerbread over a custom froyo ROM, so does that apply to the gingerbread-based ROMs too? I would assume I need to wipe my phone first? Can't even remember how to factory reset... I'm so lost lol.

Any help is appreciated

The process you have to follow is basically the same for all ROMs. But if you want a GB ROM other than Liberty, just follow the exact instructions above except at the end, install the other ROM zip instead of LGB 0.x zip.

Thank you so much! I am running Liberty now and it looks great. Having trouble getting my contact list to populate, even though I used backup assistant... but I'll get 'er figured out. Thanks again!
