i ran stock blur, overclocked for awhile before installing Liberty 1.0 for the first time...the phone ran AWESOME on the stock blur...
 
95 % DX owners (not just root users) probably don't run a customer rom, but they don't know as much as we do (or don't care) about these phones. From my experience in sales (VZW indirect) most people are coming from a dumb phone (some are early D1 adopters with early upgrades) so stock X blows what they know out of the water. Now those of us in the know are obsessed with squeezing every last drop of performance out of our devices. If wouldn't matter if its a quad core with 2gb or ddr3 ram. Where are going to hack it to pieces if we can. And because of that our devices will always be superior to anything apple puts out!
 
This is something that P3Droid posted in twitter.

@P3Droid New feature found... droidx blurless gingerbread has setting to connect through proxy server.

Thought this was very interesting and in relation to this thread.

Proxy server will allow you to surf the web with privacy, a lot of people doing illegal things (or researching them) use proxy servers along with people who just don't want people in their business. They keep police or anyone else from seeing what you look at and keeps them from finding your physical address
 
Thanks. I know about proxy servers, but I didn't understand what they had to do with dx kernels.

Sorry I'm new to all this stuff, but what exactly is a kernel? Also if we are able to run CM7 on the X what will be the advantages of it over roms like Apex and Liberty?

Sorry about the old thread, but there does seem to be a lot of confusion around the Android community on this one.

Android is basically a fancy, efficient, and slimmed-back Linux distribution. The kernel is the actual Linux component to that. In short, it's the main program of the OS It manages the hardware and provides something for Applications and other higer up bits (Like the Android system, graphical UI, etc.) to talk to to get access to the hardware. There's a lot more to it, but here's a basic map of what it does: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Linux_kernel_map.png

As for more details, I recommend the wikipedia article: Linux kernel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
