New Guy

[GaryJani]

Hi everyone - I'm Gary. I was referred to this site because I recently purchased a Motorola Droid X and was told that this is the place to be to learn how to use it to it's full capacity. I purchased my phone from an accountant that had it for 2 months and then purchased an iphone. However, in that time he installed "Liberty 1.0" that the Verizon tech didn't know what to do with. For now I'm leaving in on on the advice of the guy I bought it from - he said he'd uninstall anytime I wished. Any thoughts on that?

Hi Gary. I've heard great things about the newer version Liberty 1.5 http://www.droidforums.net/forum/li...an-one-giant-leap-liberty-1-5-2-2-2011-a.html
& there's lots of guides & forum members that will help you get up to speed.

So you'd keep Liberty installed? Would I be wise to update to 1.5? I have no clue how to do that. I love the Droid X but still learning how to operate it. What does Liberty do for android? Are there any negatives? Thanks so much for replying so fast.

First I'd read up on guides & lingo to get yourself informed. I don't have a DX personally but I try to keep up on all the sets. Check out the links in spaz's signature http://www.droidforums.net/forum/members/113637.html
& read the applicable FAQs/guides in the DX section. Then you'll be armed with the info you need.

Though i loved custom roms on my D1, i don't on the Droid X. I am kinda diggin' the Motoblur which you do not have on Liberty. But, to each their own.

I did root for tethering purposes and i do have bootstrapper from the market in case i do want to run a custom rom in the future.

Good luck and enjoy your Droid X!!!
