Droid X gets first custom ROM detailed on video.

Within the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen Moto’s Droid X rooted and ripped open for the coding masses to see. It was a pretty big step, though ultimately not the one we really seek. That award goes to custom ROMs. What manufacturers and Google alike forget or neglect to include, 3rd party ROMs add into the mix and then some.

But Motorola’s use of the eForce chip told scary tales for rooting such phones and installing custom ROMs, (and to a lesser extent custom kernels…etc.). But alas, the Android community is tireless and determined. Introducing, the Droid X and it’s first working custom ROM. From the looks of things, it looks like it’s (obviously) the popular Sapphire ROM.

Unfortunately, we’ll have to sit tight a bit longer for the process and/or files to pull of this small feat ourselves. In the meantime, hop inside and watch this little ditty of a motion picture…
