sure you can, just read threads that Devs post here, then you can choose one of them. first step you have to upgrade to 2.1, root, make sure you have the latest baseband and kernel version. all the step by step tutorial you can find it here. thats all i've done
EDIT : you have donut 2.2.1 version?

i guess i have 2.1 version,sorry i got confused

Donut is the 1.6 version. If you have 2.1 it's Eclair And yes, you can install whichever ROM you wish. The most stable and fully-working would be miniCM 2.2.1, but you might as well flash some of 2.3 ROMs available - check them out, you don't loose anything. Just be sure to have baseband ending with "015", otherwise some features won't work.

is there some tutorials for this,cuz i dont know anthing...

First u need to root ur phone and have xrecovery install..xrecovery required in order flash other rom as well as backing up all ur data..search in x8 dir..u will find superoneclick (for root), and xrecovery installer and last is go to android development thread and choose which rom u want..there is 2.2,2.3.2, and 2.3.3 rom..name mini-cm,and many others by racht,jerpelea..search in our x8 dir..u will find everything trust me.

I'm currently using 2.2 MiniCM, and is working perfectly on my X8. Recommended.

It lags in games ten times more than 2.1,not recommend use 2.1 until custom kernels will be succefull loaded to our phones then there will be 2.3.3 with everything working even wi-fi tethering.

you have expert (as-mario) advise here so better stick to 2.1 until dev successfully have fully working kernel.

I'm currently using rachts CM7RC4 but what's the different between rachts and jerqelas?
I'm looking for the fastest ROM and I would like to have a high quadrant score
I'm currently lying around 650-750 with CPU at 710 Mhz
So which one is the fastest android for our X8 using 2.3.3 or is 2.2 faster?

well my has 44,2 FPS in neocore,and that is damn alot.

Galaxy S I9000 Philippines

enjoy flashing...cheers....

Woah! Para sa mga pinoy!
Although there are not much unique features on our phone, AFAIK it is an international version with Asian firmware, I think this thread will be useful in helping out other pinoys specially those who are new. And also will keep them informed about the current and upcoming trends in PHP.
First question, anong latest version ng stock firmware jan? (I converted my phone's product code from GLB to XEU) Does Globe has plan to keep it updated?

Latest stock F/W is still froyo... gingerbread is still not here in philippines... globe doesnot really support... they dont even know about it... i run rooted... plus we have just been introduce to android so i dont think that they have any idea about it... im on XEE just to run gingerbread on phone..
enjoy flashing...cheers....

Ahaha i know the company that customized the firmware specifically for Globe. Goodluck and happy flashing!

best support is from Greenhills Tiangge
pinoy here studying in taipei taiwan, on Darky v10 rc5 final

@marjoejoejoe: hey hows your experienxe with the rc5 final??? Post some experience man... im running simply honey 3.1... running smooth...
enjoy flashing...cheers....

It's a little late, but I'm still feeling a lot of TPC'ers are going to jump here. Welcome

Not yet late with all the build going around... its always fresh.. plus we are here to support... DAMAYAN.....
enjoy flashing...cheers....

Or do you see 3e recovery?? Include error message as well..
enjoy flashing...cheers....

CM7 is not particularly newbie friendly. Darky's ROM is probably the most popular here. You can just change the themes by looking at the themes section afterwards.

thank you for the tips. I am now downloading the latest one.

enjoy flashing...cheers....

hi,
try read through this thread...

Yeah read the whole thing posted in the link Flasher8 gave you. It's a pretty nice introduction to rooting and installing custom ROMs. After you have done those, install a Froyo ROM because Froyo ROMs are the most stable and it will give you the ability to move apps from phone memory to the SD card.
By the way, I recommend you install Floyo 0.20 by racht
Here's the link:

It's the one that says "2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20"

Elelinux is just as fast and has no wifi issues. MiniCM has greatest support. FroyoBread has those gread GB features. Let him decide on his own.
Besides, why bother installing custom ROM? If he needs one, he'll get to it.

Install taboony 2.2 rom and richards 3.7 kernel. Look in the development section and youll find both there.
Im pretty sure ive seen the market issue around but i never read up on it, just use the search funtion. But the rom and kernel i suggested is faster than what you currently have.

Try this guy, he seems to update his ROMs. VirtuPicasso is discontinued now, no more updates. So stick with the living guys

I'm a bigger noob than u are, so I've some question for u; which I'm afraid to ask the senior members for they might get mad for asking them stupid nooby questions; since you u recently learned these tricks u must be very excited to answer my questions.
Q1 Why and how would I flash custom rom to my a500?
Q2 If I constantly flash rom to my device would it harm my device in any way?

Personally i would recommend the Rooted Stock 3.2. I played with few ROMs. And came to conclusion almost all ROMs have some sort issues. Nothing major just different minor ones.
But that Rooted Stock 3.2 is one of the best so far IMO. No issues with any thing runs smoothly/flawlessly. I am using it with Thor Kernel 3.7.

Dude dont worry about asking nooby question, we were all noob once, hell i still am lol. As long you are being respectful and not bashing on the OS for no reason, no one will mind helping or answering your question. Any way back to your questions
Since you new just a heads up. Dont do OTA 3.2 update, or you will have to downgrade and then Root the device.
A1. I am going to assume you have Rooted Device. Why you flash ROM: Well different ROM comes with different app, and may be some added support to hard wares you want, that your stock dont have. Also they have fix for some problems that the stock has, higher efficiency too may be... you get the point.
How you Flash ROM Video Tutorial to give you general idea: Once you have CWM installed, you just get what ever ROM you like to try, put that in SD card. Go in CWM menu, do the necessary wipes of appropriate section. Then install the ROM from SD.
WHAT EVER ROM YOU DECIDE TO USE, JUST READ EVERY THING CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU DIVE IN IT
As for flashing ROM constantly, it will not harm your device, least not that i am aware off. Just as long as you follow proper instructions. Its just like installing windows on PC over and over...

PLEASE use the search function!!!! It isn't difficult! Search for any thread with an even remotely similar title and you'll get hundreds of results. Please see this guide.

It depends on what your looking for. I love sense ROMS, but I dont think ive ever seen one working at 100%. Thats why sometimes i switch to MIUI ROMS(even tho. I hate them), you can find a lot of them working at or almost 100%.

Pretty much all aosp gingerbread ROM's without sense are stable and fast. They can be used as daily builds with almost all features working flawlessly
