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] Confused and need help!

Hye there!
I just rooted my phone with 2.3 cyanogen mod 7 RC2 J005 by racht
but I found out tat several problems occur :-
several of android market apps crash
i can turn on bluetooth but my device undetectable
seems laggy
does anyone can prefer me most suitable ROM that support HD games.
because mostly i used my x8 for that.
or there is any update for this ROM that fixes all the problem
sorry for my bad
thanx alot!
All the roms for X8 is not finished and most of them have some sort of errors.Enjoy testing them,and read about the bugs that the rom have before you flash it.
My opinion is that MiniCM-1.0.0-Beta2 and GINGERBREAD 2.3.3 CM7.0 RC2 DEVELOPMENT v006 are good roms.
If you can't live with the bugs,go back to stock.
In the moment the most stable one is racth floyo v015, you should flash that one for now.
@Alfsamsung - thanx for ur advoce dude! I appreciate that. BTW, normally if their (Dev) ROM hv some bugs. They will release update to solved that right? Do I need to flash bck my ROM if I want to reset bck all the setting?
@Drakenfall - Mind to share those link for that ROM ?
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Just be patient and wait for the new updated ROM.. They are doing everything for the X8 user like us.. Just now, you can try 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.15..

Not a 100% working ROM, but it almost the BEST..

[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
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
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.

best rom ?

WHO is THE best ROM ?
again the same, can you ppl read or serch before post?
Rom for what? Daily use? for example can be:
2.2.X
- minicm 1.0.0.1
- floyo 0.20 by racht
2.3.X
- xGin 3.0
- Hackdroid v85 by racht

For fast 2.2 go get Floyo 0.20 or Elelinux
For fast 2.3 go for Srom or Racht's Rom
guys, how can i make rom by my self ?
It is difficult, but simply you can install apps, configure system, change launcher etc. and then backup it with xrecovery, share and call it whatever you want.
Wysłano z X8 z użyciem Tapatalk
for me, the best rom to date is Froyobread by doixanh..
Elelinux, or floyo... but dx rom will get better over time so you should keep an eye on his thread. I don't recommend gingerbread for daily use as it lacks important features.

yes, elelinux and floyo are great too, but dx is working really fast on his ROM.. i'm excited to check his thread everyday for new cool updates..
Yes i was really surprised when one.day he upload v5 on morning and then.in the same day update to.v6 in evening! .nice speed xD

Froyobread by doixanh
I would also recommend FroyoBread, because its a fully working rom, and dx is updating it frequently.
Yes~ Floyobread best ROM at this moment.
Floyo 0.20 is the best ROM for 2.2. the FroyoBread need to be better in support of Arabic/Farsi or RTL language.

Possible give me a glance
thank you
@molimo,
v007 has improved Arabic & RTL rendering.
the best roms are FroyoBread v9 anf Floyo0.20 so far.
I think at the moment FroyoBread v9 is the best one - simple and almost all of the stuff working and it gets updates almost daily
If you looking for more stuff from new android versions you can check some of the 2.3.4 ROMS ( like HACKDROID or XGin 4.0) but almost all of them lack support for camera (some use VGA only) and are have a lot of bugs to be used on daily bases.

This, though if you want Gingerbread Hackdroid v85a is the smoothest and most stable 2.3 ROM.
yay I agree
Froyobread V009 is the best one so far
Good-looking, smooth, battery life is nice
I don't find any bug (FC or whatever)
Good job DX
FroyoBread +1
The only custom ROM which I can run Eternal Legacy without lags. There is only one bug for me in it: sometimes after I push screenlock button, the screen will be locked, but the light never go off, then I have to unlock and relock it.
Speed, battery, RAM, camera, etc. are 100% the best.

[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.
