Unlock and custom ROM question - XPERIA X8 General

Hi!
My name is Francisco and i'm from Chile.
I want to put a custom ROM (Android 2.2) to my Sony Ericsson X8, but before flashing i have a question.
I need to unlock my phone before flashing it with a custom ROM? Because my phone has customization and it is locked and i can't use it inother companies.
Thanks in advance!

You don´t need to unlock your phone for custom ROMs, you´ll just need superuser access and a recovery.
Have a look at one of the tutorials that are available on this forum, they´re quite good!

Best suitable Rom to be flashed

Guys can u share the best rom for mt6572 kk4.4.2 out there? I want to give a new look to my phone. please guide me to do it. my phone is rooted. phone: Inew cxq u1. Recently I have flashed my phone via sp tools with stock rom. And this time I want to flash with custom rom. please guide me to install recovery and porting by pc/phone.
Sorry, it's a question impossible to answer. It's also a wrong kind of question in this forum. No decent Android user will answer that. My recommendation is to try different Roms and drink Ron Zacappa.

Search on needrom website
I cant tell you how to get the best rom but you can search on needrom website. Go to your phone's section. There would be many rom, so read about their features and search for the one with highest rating.(Generally the latest ones).

Why install a custom rom on gs7?

Hi,
This question is mostly towards the people that have already installed a custom rom on their GS7.
I have a GS7 G935F model and i was wondering why you guys choose to installed custom rom?
I'm a big fan of custom roms. I have used them in the past on my GS3 T999, because T-mobile didn't release any new updates for the phone. I saw the need to use a custom rom to be on the latest and greatest version and i switched from rom the rom to test witch one suited me best. Now with the GS7 i get frequent updates from samsung and don't see the need, but i'm still really really interested in trying one of the custom roms. So what else does a custom bring that will make me want to make that switch?

most of those frequent updates are for security propose.
custom roms enable you to unlimited experience of customization.
changing any system ui element or installing some apps that need root access and works better on custom roms usually.
but some app or mod you install on custom rom have risks to brick your phone and you need to prepare urself to repair it or search a lot to get stable ones.
:good:

Changing system ui elements or using root apps/ modules. 3 years ago u needed a custom rom for a new look and extra functionality that wasn't normally possible. Nowadays most of those things are possible. I'm searching for the things i can do now if i choose to install a custom rom. Things i could really use.
Which root apps or modules do u use on your phone?

Just got ZE552KL, few questions..

I've asked a couple of questions in various threads but haven't received answers, so I'll try again in a dedicated thread.
1. I want to unlock bootloader, root, and install a custom ROM (Lineage). For the unlock step, is there any disadvantage to doing the official unlock if I don't need OTA update notifications for stock ROM?
2. Are Lineage and ViperOS the only custom ROMs available for this phone?
3. Are there any features in the stock ROM that I would lose going to a custom ROM because they require something inherent to ZenUI? I remember on my S4 some features would not work when I switched from Touchwiz rom to vanilla android.
Thanks

So this is maybe a dumb question. .

Seeing as a lot of post talking about custom roms as far as aosp based are old and talk about locked bootloader.. see as the bootloader has been unlock or can be. are any roms here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development usable to us that have unlock loaders? im looking for a vanilla aosp rom and a permissive kernel in the Lollipop or Marshmallow (if it wont relock my loader) department. any valuable input greatly appreciated.

Yes many of those ROMs are very good. The ones that will work with the n900v normally will list it in the opening post.
I have personally used this ROM for months and have been very pleased with it!

It is a nougat ROM, requires you to use a special recovery and you need to use the T-Mobile ( TMO )version of the ROM.
