Rooted, Now what custom roms are available?

[CrazyCamel369#AC]

So how do I find custom roms and if anyone knows the big difference between them. I'm really new to this whole rom installing business so any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There aren't any custom ROMS available yet as the device is still new.

Nope, they're device specific. We wont get a rom until the bootloader gets unlocked

bootloader doesn't need to be unlocked, it does make it easier, but, a bootstrap work-around can be used. there is a custom bootstrap work-around semi-working. it will allow packages to be flashed, however, there is no way of booting directly into the recovery and if there's a problem with a flash, you cannot boot into recovery and restore from a back up.

current process on other moto devices using this bootstrap work-around have a factory sbf, so if there's a problem, they reflash back to factory, reroot, re-install the custom recovery, then they can restore from their nandroid backup. but since there's no sbf available for the atrix 2, this is not possible for the atrix 2 owners. which makes flashing extremely risky at this point.

once the first OTA update is pushed to the atrix 2, this should give us access to a factory sbf file that we would be able to flash. this will eliminate the the risk of a never-boot situation. that is of course, the custom recovery isn't solved by the time an update is pushed out.

an sbf will also make life easier for devs to have a base rom to build from as well.

so you will see a custom recovery and custom roms either soon, or shortly after the first OTA update.

Its nice people finally started listening to me, Ive been saying from day 1 that the bootloader didnt need to be unlocked and gave the example of my previous x10 which was running WB Xperia v6.0 and a sick theme called "Envy" on a locked bootloader.

Right now, unless ur within the 30 days return timeframe I think the risks of flashing stuff far outweighs the pro's. If u wanna root, go for it, but I'd hold off on flashing anything just yet.
