[Q]What rom to choose

Hey!
I'm pretty new to custom roms, and i'm not sure what is the best for me.
I want a clean rom, without tons of apps i'll never use. Just a simple, smooth, fast(as fast as it get's) Android rom.
Have look around in the dev section, but i'm not so in to custom roms yet, and a little afraid of bricking my phone!
Any suggestions?=)

Well, people seem to be torn between floyo v.20 and Elelinux v6a.
I've tested out both and they both are fully functional roms. Speed and smoothness is hard to differentiate.
I'd suggest you go for Floyo as it has LauncherPro Plus installed and a better theme.
But it's best if you try out both for a while and then decide.

Then you should try doinxh new gingerbread rom.clean rom with additional features.less crappy apps

my experience says that you should test all the roms that tou find interesting. It's the best way to know wich one is better for you.
Rom X could be the best for me but Y could be the best for you.
Just read all the instructions, and then prepare to try all the roms you like and choose your favorite.

I use jerpelea's+ modules.

I am using Floyo v.20 by racht its fast and smooth no bugs yet and about the unwanted app you can uninstall any app or system app by some app named app uninstaller orsomething like that
Hope I helped
proud owner of sexperia X8

I usually try to use all roms, even the beta ones
I appreciate the developer´s works, and give a try to many of them. This way I can feel which rom fits on my use

Yes, it´s a very good rom. but i find that floyo0.20 is a bit faster. Adn it has following bug: yuu can´s set location in some apps, neither througt gps nore wifi nore mobile network.
kown bug is radio.apk is not not working, in floyo it is working fine.
i use floyo, but i have reboots when i switch from 3g to 2g on some locations (not on all, where 3g is avalible. But it seems, im allone with this bug On other roms i works.

Thanks for the advice guys!=) I will test some roms out! Starting to get the hang on how custom roms work, how to install, and so on=) Think i will try out doinxh's custom first, then racht custom! As long i don't get ten tons of apps i don't need, and a rom that works smooth, then i'm satisfied^^

Btw, if you guys have more suggestions, bring it^^, Trying racht's floyo now, but having some trouble finding the custom rom in xRecovery=P tested Srom-2.3.3GingerbreadX8-V2 by stelios97&zousoum96, and found it in like 5 sec, but racht seems to be a little challenge=P

Elelinux v6 by Frogy Furnetal.
No, from HTC Hero's Elelinux Speedmachine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070294
You can get this much hours of uptime with rachts Floyo too... just use Fast Reboot app (once a day) clen cache periodically (2 times a week is more than enough)
Intresting enough, performance didnt dropped at all..
P.S.: dont use Task Killers

Tried froyobread, but it didn't support my language, and the EQ didn't work, so i moved on back at stock, and going to test Elelinux out next i think=) Will test out Froyobread out later, when it's near complete, and got what i want=)

I had performance issue with floyo 0.20, IGO ran very laggy.

V 2.8

Hi all have to say the 2.8 rom is the best and fastest I have tried.
Sent from my Hero using XDA Premium App

worried about the battery
hi all,
are you refering to elelinux v2.8. if so i do agree. its a great rom
the only thing im not a hundred percent on is the battery life. i have a monster 3300 mAh battery that usually last 5 days. but after changing from V2.7 to V2.8 it went through 50% in a day. im going to test it out over the next couple of days.

Yeah that's the ROM I was taking about the best so far, but just upgraded to a HTC sensation what a phone but battery life poor.

It's really a great rom, i've used it for ages (thanks developers for that), now trying salsa because missed sense too much...

I have to admit i am a fan of salsasense.
BUT. . . . . .
The rom to have is elelinux V2.8.
no FC
very stable
all my apps work
fast.
love it

Great ROM, fast, stable, and looks great with LP+ senselike widgets and Beautiful Widget once every few days have to restart phone though as apps starts to fill up RAM and phone lags, otherwise ..... perfect!

I Full wipe ，Than flash V2.8，
and flash light_version_script.zip
Than...When someone phone me...
I can't answer the phone...because It have no sound...
Is anybody have the same problem ?

the lite script version has a lot of app and programs missing.
Great if your going to install all your own dialer`s and phone bit and bobs.
and mms clients and launchers
blah blah blah...........
basically its the scaffolding for the user to add his own stuff.
id use the full version.
making sure you did a full data/cache/dalvik/battery stat wipe before you install.
its the best way

Thanks!
But I don't need everything in the full version.
and It may made my Hero become slowly...
BTW,thanks for your response!

You would be surprised what you acctually need to make android run. If you dont replace those parts it wont function.

there is a lot of ways and blogs that people say will help you set up your hero.
But....
to be honest the best way ive found is
1) find a custom rom you like.
2) wipe everything on your hero (not the SD card.) and doing a full install.
3) add your desired apps and widgets
4) then make a nandroid backup
now if you mess around with setting or uninstall apps or firmware
you will always have a solid backup to go back to and try again.
its the best way to learn how your hero works.
good luck.

i always go back to sense even though you lose speed, using tegro slide at the moment and its almost perfect

ive tried tegro in the past
i do like it but it reminds me to much of froyo and i had a bad experience with froyo.
(shivers as cold feeling goes down spin)
but on the up side elelinux has just released V2.9
the update list looks impressive.
BUT......
the big question is whats he got up his sleeve for V3.0
AND will it be the final one.

[Q] Bad question: which ROM to flash?

I feel embarrassed to have to ask this, and I know a lot of people hate this type of post. I want a suggestion for what custom ROM to flash.
I started flashing about 5 months ago with Darky's ROM. And now I like my phone. ( I won't say love, because I love my parents, my children, StarTrek, BSG, hot girls, and icecream and that's it). BUT, the more I flash, the more I get annoyed with the gliches. Darky's 10.1 didn't have working GTalk (w/ Camera), and sometimes has some bugs. I lately flashed Ruyyo EDB1.1 (JVP ROM), but sometimes the phone restarts or crashes, and every 3 days or so, SOMETHING runs down the battery (meaning, the phone over-heats, acts slow, and loses all battery in 5 hours). That might be because of an app, but I think its on the rom. The main apps I use are HandcentSMS, ADW-Ex, and Multi-picture live wall paper. And Gmail (which is FCing every time I restart the phone)
Now there are so many ROMs out, I don't know which one to get. All say they are stable and fast...and I'm sure for many people they are. But I am searching for suggestins. I cannot try out many because I live in China, and because of the damn stupid retarded Great Firewall of China, all downloads of ROMs from Multi-upload are slow (and I need special software to access that site).
So...I'm looking for a ROM which is really stable, which I do not need to do a wipe-flash with and can install with CWM. I would prefer that it use the same lag-fix solution as the Darky ROM so that I can go back to it when they update ...but as I don't every actually activate the lag-fix, probably does not matter.
I'm looking for a ROM which must have voodoo sound (the ability to use my phone with my own AKG earphones without having to unplug said earphones when I answer a call is what convinced me to keep the SGS instead of getting an iPhone4... so this is critical)
I need my ROM to support live wallpapers, so that I can use my LCARS wallpaper with multi-pic.
I prefer my ROM to support the Samsung Music player with the integrated lock-screen widget.
I really prefer ROM which has the front-camera fixed and google-talk operating.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sounds very much like what I am looking for also. I am on Darky at the moment as well. I just want a good, fresh and 100% stable ROM.
- I need root
- Lagfix would be nice
- Needs to be able to work well with Launcher Pro Plus
- Good battery life
- BLN essential

We all need roms that are stable, fast, and with a good battery life... I think I've tried all main SGS roms, but at the end I think I'll stick with MIUI.
I liked Darky's rom, but I've got too many force-closes... maybe it was my fault because I didn't flash it correctly.
But for a month or so I've used MIUI... it's the fastest rom... You've got tons of lockscreens.. including samsung's (I think). Battery life it's not the best, but the devs are really working on making this rom perfect. For example.. for Galnet... this week 2 updates came out, and we're waiting for a big one friday.
My advice: give MIUI a try and you won't be disapointed

There are three reasons why I did not try MIUI. BUT, my reasons may be flawed.
1. In my understanding, MIUI is based on Cryogen (or something like that), which requires that I flash (wipe-flash?) a Froyo ROM first. Which means that I have to download two huge files through the Great FireWall of China. I know that's a lame reason...but that's a fair amount of work for me. Not to mention reloading all my apps.
2. In my understanding, CM (and hence MIUI) does not have the Voodoo sound and does not have the Samsung Music app. The music app is not so big a deal because (in my understanding), CM and MIUI have their own in-notification-bar music controls (which is why I like the Samsung music app). However, I need Voodoo sound in order to allow use of my own headphone while talking on the telephone.
3. In my understanding, MIUI is supposed to look like iOS, which I do not like.
Please let me know if my understandings are wrong.

I also didn't try it because I don't want to flash an updated version twice a week. I want a good working ROM from the start with no need to update until the next Android version comes out.

I am oso on darky's rom previously but having same issue. Then tried Tweaky's rom and Juwe's rom too. Juwe's rom is fast but its bit dull colored and lack of sgs2 apps like Tweaky's rom.Now I am using my own rom base on JVP with Talon kernel with OC, actually it's a mix and match of Tweaky n Juwe's rom. Everything is working so far with some sgs2 apps, tw4, gtalk with video call.Flash n wipe is a must for a start. If u r interested I can post a link for u.

CM7 (CyanogenMod7) has Voodoo Sound for sure, even Voodoo Colour. BLN should also be possible with a custom kernel.

best looking rom, fast and reliable its galnet mui. Battery life it;s not great yet but galnet its working hard to fix.
i think that after flashing couple of roms you will decide.

Why factory reset? Why not just do no-wipe flash with CWM?
Part of my problem is that there are a lot of ROMs, and if I'm wiping everytime I do a new ROM, its takes quite a while to restore to full functionality...albiet the end result may be more stable.

So you are saying that you had better battery life with others, and MIUI sometimes gets stuck, but you like MIUI because its faster for games and themes? That's not really what I need (although I do like the notification options I saw on it has). I am more not into this because I'm not into having to Flash back to Froyo in order to install.

Hearing this, I'm tempted to bite the bullet and go through the CM7 install proceedure. I then will have to upload the google apps and the new google talk. But the end result may be pretty cool (assuming does not drain battery more than other ROMs). Thanks for the info.

MIUI rom doesnt stuck and restarts as your think. Battery life is not horrible. You can control your headset in miui with different module like voodoo sound. I think thats the best rom to stick now. You can get air updates and you dont need to wipe your data for updates. Just give it a try. I guess you will like it.

Thank you. I don't think it gets stuck. Its just that you said in previous post "Sometimes it stucks and restarts." I may try this out. I think I'm going to wait and see what this JVQ-based ROM is like before I do any ROM which requires a wipe.
Slightly off-topic...About my phone...I'm not sure, but I think sometimes the heavy battery drain and restarts are caused by Handcent SMS. I downloaded an app called "OSMonitor" It showed that sometimes Android System is continuously using 40% of CPU, and at those times, Handcent is using 50% of CPU. I guess I should delete Handcent and see if my phone gets better stability and performance. Seems maybe the stability problems were might be blamed in the wrong place. BUT...I really like Handcent...

I'm in a similar situation and decided the only way to get what I want is to put it together myself. This also means you probably wont have the latest and greatest because they might be cool but not always the most stable.
What you can do is, get a deodexed stock rom, install a stable kernel with the mods you need (voodoo, bln, rooted and busybox etc) than use Titanium backup to remove all the things you don't want. presto, you'll have what you wanted...

I think the best option is CM7.
Greetings.

I have CM7 and must re-charge every 8h... Moderate use. Are other ROMs better battery-wise?

advantage of cyanogenmod

Soon Samsung will stop updating the galaxy s so should i install cyanogenmod 7 now or wait till the stop supporting it ...is it easy to install from gingerbread jvq I've looked at the instructions but didn't understand how to do it and is every thing working on the phone with cyanogenmod

Everything is included but the CyanogenMod for I9000 is still an unstable version. FM radio oes not work and there is a feww bug here and there.
To install it, you need to revert back to a Froyo firmware which include a bootloader because the Gingerbread bootloader is not compatible entirely with CyanogenMod. Then, you root your phone, install ClockWorkMod or any kernel that has it, download the ROM, put it in the SD Card, restart the phone in recovery, then install zip from SD Card, choose the Rom Zip file and everything should install correctly.
Here is a link to the whole process LINK
Don't forget to backup your apps, and other relevant information and more important, make a backup of your EFS folder in case your IMEI is screwed up during the upgrade.

You will need to flash back to a ROM with Froyo Bootloaders first, but the installation is now very, very easy....use my guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101534
As for the advantages, CM7 is the fastest and smoothest ROM available, with a high level of customization, some exceptional features like the Theme Chooser, and a very active development and user community.
The disadvantages are that the battery life usually tops out at about a day and a half between charges max, and certain hardware features don't work as well as they should, due to the fact Samsung won't release their sources. These include the 780p video camera (lower resolution films fine), FM Radio and TV Out.
IN the end, the only way to really know if CM7 is for you is to try it out and see. Some users ultimately say they prefer the Samsung ROMS while others, like myself, are addicted to the high performance and tweaks of CM7 (as well as the community).
Come by the CM7 thread in the Dev forum, read back a few pages to see what is going on and join the discussions.

Having CM7 on SGS is like owning a Ford GT40. Beatiful and powerful beast, but if you actually dare to use it, it'll probably break down or you run out of juice in the middle of nowhere.

Thats a great way of putting it
Made me laugh, There is an ounce of truth in there !!
Still a good ROM tho, a mega improvement over stock samsung roms at least.

Battery life for me is pretty much the same as stock, the performance is unrivalled and it has more functionality. For me it also more stable than 2.3.4 ROMs which have all kinds of dodgy bugs and random lags.

The battery life has been improved a lot in CyanogenMod, but it is still a bit high when using packet data.

It is as stable, or more stable, than any other ROM for this phone...
I dont find significant speed difference for Samsung JVQ, but it is more configurable, very usefull bits too, and it has the nicest theme, Honeycream, for someone that doesnt like green or blue themes...
The dialer and the camera apps are garbagge compared with samsung' s, but you can use the market like I did, got RocketDial and Camera360...
And you get a new version almost every night, good if you have nothing better to do then flashing the phone , plus they fix small errors and implement new features, Samsung is not doing that for the SGS any more...
EDIT battery is not a problem anymore...

Going to a good custom ROM like CM is a great idea imo, great support and always new stuff

Yeah but use cyanogenmod with fugu kernel and gingerbread bootloaders... You won't go back and you get battery life better than stock (still a problem with battery usage if data is on though)!

[Q] What is the better For U & Why?

Hi,
I'd like to know the reason why is the better for and advices.
I use the MiniCM7 i like this rom cus has a lot upgrades my Xperia X8 works fine, but i feel its no the better rom for this mobile, maybe the CPU or RAM i dont know, but.. i think is better than 2.1 Original ROM from SE i used the Froyo (MiniCM6) and was great but i decides to try the MiniCM7 and sweeter, but slow in mobile... so
What ROM you use? Why do u use it? Is it the better? What is the better for SE Xperia X8?
Thanks! Guys!

I use Froyobread. Based on CM6(Froyo)
Reason?
Main Reason - Almost bugless ROM, very good for daily use.
Other:
CRT Animation/Glow - ppl will think I'm using Android 2.3 when they saw it
T-Mobile Theme Engine - CM7 theme for CM6 based ROM
easy to say, I use FB because of doixanh's special features there, (back button ends call, HTC Never-miss-a-call, etc). I know GingerDX got those as well, but I like CM6 more. Its smoother, faster, and really almost bugless, and good memory management.

I have tried stock 1.6 (before the big update), Eclair (unrooted and rooted)and now GingerDX V.6. A fact is that the X8 are not a terribly fast smartphone. It is fast enough for many things like divx-movies and not too complicated games. It´s like a cheap computer! You can do standard things but nothing too complicated and it doesnt do anything with an impressive speed.
I cant say that i notice any difference in speed between stock 2.1 and GingerDX. When the phone has been idle for a while it´s a little tired in a few seconds (Sometimes, not allways). But it was as tired when stock eclair was on it to.
I have 50 apps (and games) installed in my phone. Maybe there´s la difference if you have a lot more things installed.

Currently Im using FroyoBread v23
Why?
In GingerDX v010, after one night, my battery drains 16-20%
In FroyoBread, 6-8%
I did the tests with clean installations, original applications (Gmail, talk, maps, etc) removed and SD erased.

I have tested all top roms (fb,minicm,floyo,fxp.....) I am now using Kuyadroid v3 because its fast and great on battery, 1-2% standby overnight and 3-4 days with moderate use. I like DX roms and will prob switch to GingerDX later in development.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

using gingerdx, battery drain is too much

Well I will go with Gingercruzt 7.4.
Why?
Coz of its faster than GDX and a combined mixed of SE application and updated feature not to mention the interface is so cool.
