X8! What is the perfect ROM atm? - XPERIA X8 General

Which is the most stable rom with all normal features maybe including flash and wifi?
POST ALL LINKS BELOW WITH COMMENTS PLEASE
At the moment the most popular ROM'S ARE:
Racht's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
and
Ponanvon's modified rom from nobodyAtall:

and Doixanh's frequenlty updated fantastic Froyobread

Best ROM for X8 is here:
Download the 2.2.1 version from here. If download link doesn't work, look at 95 for a mirror.

The best ROM (IMO) is v0.11 HACKDROID by Ratch.
I'm willing to bet the MiniCM ROM for the X8 is good as well, but I haven't tested it yet.
Edit: I take that back. Apparently the MiniCM ROM suffers from random reboots.
Edit2: The MiniCM is very good. The battery lasts much longer than Racht's ROM.

i have installed 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12 (no prelinks) and works perfekt ...

Yeah! really excited for that

Until now the best rom I've tried, and the one I also have right now is miniCM port to X8 rom... can't wait for jerpelea to finish porting cm7 to X8, it will be awsome!

My favourite rom: Racht's 2.2.1 HACKDROID v0.12.

Im using the MiniCM Alpha3.1 and it is really good.

i get the sd card unmounted automatically and then the phone shutts off...
i tried cm7-x8 and its very good but u cannot have ap2sd ...so reversed to original...

Not only you but for me it unmounts but doesn't reboot. It reboots in a totaly random way :/ Most often when I'm connected to USB. Talking about v0.12.

I tried floyo, hackdroid 2.2 & 2.3, minicm.
but none is stable, random reboot, bug & app2sd problm.
back to 2.1 again & again. stable but far too slow.
still waitin the best rom

MiniCM Alpha 3.1 is very good ROM. I'm using it now. I love the native App2SD.

Now testing: Racht's Floyo v.0.10 + Minicm 3.1. for the time being stable.

I'm also using 2.2.1 0.12
I haven't had this problem; but, I do have problems with the camera. Occassionally when taking a photo it doesn't take the photo and the screen goes black. I have to press the home or back key a few times to get the screen back again.
There are some apps that won't install; but apart from that, I'm liking it alot.

The most stable for gaming is SE stock ROM, for custom rom maybe miniCM is good enough.

like sincan01 mentioned , the best ROM for gaming is the stock ROM , but if you want to use a custom ROM , I think miniCM is good , I have used several custom ROMs , most of them had some issues in installing apps or games
But untill now , I haven't had any issue in installing games or apps with miniCM!
I have v0.12 installed, why those it say on my phone mod version v0.11?

[Q] what is the best ROM for X8 available now?

I'm lost in choosing a ROM for my new phone ,I wanna know what is the best and most completed ROM for X8
hy, i think, if you wanna replace the stock rom, choose racht's latest rom. For me, jerelpea's rom reboots after locking the screen every minunte, while, in use it doesnt.

i searched for racht's latest ROM it is 2.3.3 but i think it is not stable yet ,any other ideas
im using miniCM - RC1 and everything works perfect for me, so i'm satisfied
none of these roms are fully stable, if we are lucky the new libaudio will fix the most of the bugs. I usually use skype, and it doesnt work on any of these roms, so i wait for the fix.

No way libaudio will fix reboot issues. They are totally unrelated. A custom kernel will though

sorry then. i read it in racht's thread, but it looks like libaudio is just causes skype crashes.
i think 2.2 ROM based is the most stable for daily use. i've installed the latest ROM for 2.3.3 and i restore back my 2.1 because lots of bug. too many reboots. the most stable ROM for me is :
Floyo 0.15
MiniCM for X8
thanks for replying guys , I have installed Floyo-0.15 and it was perfect but I found that it doesn't support Arabic keyboard ,
anyone have a solution for this problem before trying MiniCM or restoring to the 2.1 stock ROM ????
floyo n minicm are the best so far.
right now I'm on floyo with mod on system/app.
usually I try cm7 2.3 racht n jerpelea Saturday to Monday.

Most stable Custom ROM for X8 with fully working features ?

Hello,
i am sorry if this is Spam. Personally, i have a X10, my GF has a X8 running the Stock 2.1 ROM from SE. She is very unhappy with the Stock ROM, because it lags and so on.
Is there a custom rom with Android 2.1/2.2/2.3 which is stable, fast (faster than stock) and can use all features of the X8 (hw-camera e.g.)
Any recommendations ?

MiniCM has FM, Camera, Videocam... and it is stable
there is 2.3 roms too but they do not have FM and only VGA camera.
the same as above, i recommend using the latest miniCM, as its the most stable custom ROM right now, with most working features
I think BehradGH MTL Rom Series (based on 2.1.1) is good too
i´m using racht´s floyo 0,15 and its almost bugless.
minicm stable atm
floyo 0.15 hackdroid from ratch work,almost everything,less reboot after installed apps but after reboot its working nice
waiting for stable cm7 2.3.3 j's / ratch's

I had miniCM and now 2.3.3 v007 from jerpelea and I think 007 is more stable than miniCM but it has not so much features like fm radio and more working games.
Actually i think that the best 2.2 rom is minicm, but racht is working on 2.3 and it's promising..

For now miniCM has most number of working things. Now I'm using it (I need fm and cam). But I hope soon Racht and Jerpelea will make full working 2.3.3 for us

In my opinion for now the most stable and with almost all fetures working is MiniCM
Hey folks. newbie here. Been an Android user for around three month, and after the news that S.E will not be updating the X8 beyond 2.1 i've decided to take the plunge and root. However I am on a pay monthly contract so my question is, is it safe to root and install a custom rom and still use my providers services eg: MMS, SMS, 3G. Probably a silly question but i'm new to all this..
Cheers folks
Hi, is miniCM this one?
I'm trying that one but I don't like the cyan colored icons in the status bar, better white or colored like the Floyo ones... there is a way to change icons or only the color?
you can choose other theme

That's what you need, there's a floyo theme available.
i'd go with miniCM being stable, although at the moment im using j's 2.3.3 as i dont use fm radio and VGA camera is good enough for me

Same here with Racht's CM7-RC3... I replaced LP with ADW eventhough it's got less features... The screen seemed less responsive. Just seemed so... I also noticed battery drain in CM7 RC3 when I only had GPS on for a couple of mins. Battery kept on draining after that but i didnt try it again to be sure. Quite stable for me. I try to keep SU forgetting root apps and so avoiding crashes.

Ahmed , the only thing that will bug you in using MiniCM or Floyo is Arabic language support , in the browser Arabic letters are separated and from left to right
I found this after trying Flashed Mini CM and floyo
i'm going to try BehradGH 2.1.1 ROM later ,he says that it have Arabic support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955467

racht's floyo FTW. imho way better than CMmini, the overall performance is better, especially in games (both 2d&3d) where it's much smoother. plus, it has better theme (ye, i know you can change a theme, but in floyo you just get good one at start), and it's more stable for me.
the only bad thing about floyo is i can't install overclock module on it, i always get a bootloop. but i don't care about OC that much, since it doesn't improve the performance that much, even if benchmarks are showing some great improvement.
+1 to racht's Floyo v.15 in its speed and performance!
but not too stable (for me) also it drains battery a bit faster
in the case of MiniCM its good, couple of reboots (common bug) and feels like 95% complete.
now, the battle in 2.2 is between miniCM and floyo,
(wishing there will be more updates for floyo)

[Q] Stablest ROM for x8

I have seen similar threads like this but they are outdated. So I would like to know what is the most stablest rom for x8 as of today. I would also like to know which is better overall minicm or floyo. I tried floyo 0.25 but it seems to freeze alot but its startup speed is quick. Thank you!

FroyoBread is currently most stable n fast room. Check it.

Use Floyo 0.20.
There are a few bugs, but it´s stable (no sdcard-ready-to-remove-bug) and everything you need will work
I think froyobread will be the best. its fast stable (no single reboot since released) and has low battery drain. best choice in my opinion.
does anyone know if minicm 1.0.2 is any good?
which is better minicm 1.0.2 or floyo 0.25?

Do you want stable rom? Choose the stock 2.1.
I'm confused about cooked roms.
Dude, i installed FroyoBread, checked the wireless (didn't work - i forget all the networks i connected and full wipe but nothing). On v0.20 started very fast with no problems (first time).
So how did you start the wireless connection ?:-??
I'm using CM7 XGin 4 and is very stable. No reboots at all. No bugs at all except the camera is limited to VGA.
