Still aching for that Android 2.2 update to roll out to your beloved DROID X? Well, we still don't have any word on when the official upgrade will hit (other than "late summer"), but there is a new leaked Froyo ROM for you to load onto your rooted DROID X! In order to install the new ROM, you'll have to be rooted and use Koush's bootstrapper. As with any new ROM, some users have experienced a few issues with installation, but others are reporting that this new build is running smoothly. If you're interested, you can find the necessary download links and instructions right here. Just remember that any time you hack with you phone, you run the risk of seriously messing it up. Be careful!
Considering no one knows exactly when the official Android 2.2 update will finally roll out (we've heard early September in the past), it's good to see the DX hacking community sharing new builds of the OS for impatient users. Just remember that Motorola has said in the past that they won't be providing an upgrade path to the official builds if you install any leaked ROM. Also, if you do plan on loading this leaked build of Froyo, you should probably do it as soon as possible, as the last leaked ROM had to be pulled thanks to a cease and desist letter from Moto. If you've already got the new build loaded up onto your DROID X, let us know about your experience!
