Each rom performs differently on individual phones. I suggest that you try two or three and see what works best on your phone. Make a good backup(SPRecovery or ClockWork) each time and you should be OK

Welcome to the forums.
My choice for a rom would have to be Chevys SS rom for the Droid 1. I have been using it since version 4.2 with no problems. The most recent is version 4.9 update 1. The update must be installed separately. Although when you go in to the app drawer and select chevy tools it should have an option to check for updates. If you are running clockwork recovery the installation process for the update is fully automatic.
Enjoy your stay with us.

ok ty for all the info. will be doing this slow, as I plan on getting it right, that way, since i have been reading further that it can be unrooted. and i plan on getting the droid x here soon before christmas.

 

[mwhartman]

Most of the info I provided is for the Droid. If you plane to root the X the last link works. Make use you install a rom that is compatible with the X.

Take your time. Make notes and post your questions. If you decide to root and have any questions or issues the community will be here to assist you.
