Liberty ran good for me besides one thing, after every call was ended it would reboot...
Liberty seemed to run a little quicker than Apex, but Apex is much more noob friendly and still runs good.
I need to try that reboot fix, haven't had time to play around with the phone much today other than try out a few themes on Apex.

So, the Liberty dev did fix the reboot issue?

You know what generic means.... generic breakfast cereal doesn't have the prize and the game on the back of the box.
AOSP= Android Open Source Project. AOSP dialer might not have Motorola-specific tweaks like noise-cancelling, in exchange for a slight increase in speed. Camera might be missing similar features, etc.
Liberty, Fission are AOSP with very little Blur. Apex, which most of us recommend for a first rom, is AOSP, but you can change common apps to blur version if you don't like.
Bear in mind, most roms require you to format data, which means you'll lose all your tweaks, high scores, settings so you should research your rom before jumping in willy nilly. You should have a backup program like Titanium installed with a first backup b/c you might load a new rom and not have any contacts and apps that aren't available on market (old or banned), won't be available. (I have many of those.)
As always, create a backup in recovery so if you decide your new rom is unstable, too different or just not you, you can come back to something familiar and already set up. I have a backup of nearly every rom I've tried so if a new version comes out, I can jump in easily.
This is what my backups looked like in Rom Manager. There are more than what fits the screen:

That partially worked for me.. it put the "M" at the very beginning, now I gotta get rid of the flashing word "android" and get the droid eye back.

You might check out these: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...t-animations.html?highlight=bootanimation.zip
Using root explorer or similar app, check if there's a bootanimation.zip in /data/local, and if so, rename it so it quits working. Any boot animation you put there will override the active one.
