After I turned off auto brightness my battery seems to last a lot longer.
Odd thing is when Auto Brightness was on the screen was off but it still drained the battery as if it was on constantly including getting warm.
I can not be 100% that that was the cause of the drain but coincidence be when I shut it off.

Also, maybe it's just Verizon but using whatever browser installed with this package sucks big titties and is slow as the holidays.
Still impressed that Droid X has gone this far and hope you continue updating it.

There may have been a post earlier, but does anyone have a suggestion for a camcorder? I keep recording videos, but none of them play more than a few seconds before giving me an error that it's unable to play the video. It's doing it with ES media player, the stock video plyer, and SWF player. This happens on all 3 video settings, but I changed it to MMS so that I could actually send them to people, instead of showing them on my phone (which doesn't work obviously).

Thanks in advance!

Try changing the gov to performance

The first 2 major fixes I'm planning to work on are 720p and infrastructure wifi tethering. No ETAs, etc, because I'm still learning all this as well. This is actually my first ever release. DXC is helping though and that is making a huge difference.

Absolutely no offense taken. Everybody uses their phones for different things and have different priorities. I'm planning on being here for a while and hope to get through everyone's priorities.

My advice to you is good luck and what you said is true and everything is not perfect but i had to downgrade to the oldest miui build as i find the newest one for the us shadow aka the motorola droid x had a few bugs

Wizard0f0s, I have to commend you for a truly remarkable ROM. My 2 boys run this ROM, and it offers good stability and excellent access controls, so I know they're not getting into things they shouldn't. They started with your May version for months, then we updated to your November release, and continue to have great success with all they do.

My wife ran CM7 on her Droid X, and it did quite well - except the camera which sometimes couldn't write to the SD card. So when I wiped hers, I went on a study to see how other ROMs performed. Here's what I found, primarily focusing on basic WiFi connectivity, because that became the fundamental deciding point where so many ROMs failed:

• OpenAndroid [Vortex/Liberty Reloaded] (OA-VXLR_2.2.0_Installer_Spz0.zip ) - WiFi problems - continuous restarts on WPA2 access points, refuses to connect to WEP sites (won't accept ASCII code of 5 chars, nor the hex equivalent). Unfortunately, this ROM is still using the 605 kernel (like most below), even though it is in recent development.
• Almost-stock 621 (621_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_kY-Signed.zip) - WiFi problems - continuous restarts on WPA2 access points, refuses to connect to WEP sites (won't accept ASCII code of 5 chars, nor the hex equivalent)
• Liberty 3 2.0 (Liberty3X-2.0Gold-signed-621v.zip) - WiFi problems - continuous restarts on WPA2 access points, refuses to connect to WEP sites (won't accept ASCII code of 5 chars, nor the hex equivalent)
• Vortex (VorteX_GB-RC1-signed-621v.zip) - WiFi problems - continuous restarts on WPA2 access points, refuses to connect to WEP sites (won't accept ASCII code of 5 chars, nor the hex equivalent)
• Shuji 2.5 (Shuji-2.5-signed-621v.zip) - WiFi problems - would not connect at all to WPA2 access points, refuses to connect to WEP sites (won't accept ASCII code of 5 chars, nor the hex equivalent)
• MIUI DefX 2012.11.11 (MIUI.us_Shadow_2012.11.11-Aroma-Wizard0f0s-signed.zip) - no significant wifi issues

The only flaw that nags me on this MiUI release is that (on my boys Droid X's) Google Play store hangs on every new connect, until I adjust the content filtering setting in any way - then it immediately works. I have password access set for this app.

Again, thanks for your wonderful gift to the Droid X community!

I hate to be a sticky pants but is this the end?
No words or anything in over 3 months. Just a hello, I'm working on it or whatever just to find out if we are still alive.

Thanks...
