stable ROM pls??? - XPERIA X8 General

hi all,
im new here and i would like to ask for a link for the most stable and fast ROM... i know many of members here already posted this kind of request and i've read some of them but still i think chose the wrong one.. i tried to install the floyo ROM on my x8 last week... on the first two days its ok... but when i tested the wifi, the browser is malfunctioning so i tried to reboot the phone... after that, the system suddenly crashed and some of the apps like launcher failed to initialize... i can't even see the menu that time and the phone always displays the "force close the application"... i thought that i will not be able to use my phone again but thanks to flash tool which i also got here...
i also want a ROM with multi touch... and please the most stable.... if there are some tips and reminders in using custom ROM's to minimize this errors that i've experience please give me a list... i still need a lot of info in modifying my x8... thanks guys!!!

Nearly all 2.2 ROMs are stable, and if you want Gingerbread, use GingerDX or MiniCM7 (I´d recommend you GingerDX).
You can also use KuyaDroid, but I did never use it and so, I don´t really know how fast and stable it is.
All those three have a fully working camera.

My tip is that you do a full wipe before installing ANY new ROM, to avoid those errors you had.
Like codfreak, I also recommend you GingerDX 010, very stable and fast.
If you are lucky to have a Cypress digitizer on your X8 you will get multiTouch.

This is my recommendation
Froyo/cm6:Froyobread because is Final
Gingerbread/cm7:GingerDX is most stable cm7 for daily use
More description Here

Froyobread most stable rom ..or u can also try floyo 0.30 ..its stable as well..atleast for me..

I think the GingerDX v.6 i currently use on my phone is very stable. I know v.10 is out there but right now im to lazy to do a full wipe and so on. The only problem i had was when i first did the installation from stock 2.1. to GingerDX v.6. I did not do a full wipe before the installation and the phone did hang at the CM logo.. I rebooted and did a full wipe. Since then the phone has been rock solid. Everything i have tried on my phone works. One minor bug is that when the battery is realy empty (as in: the phone closes itself) the X8 recovery comes up the next time the phone is started. When i do a reboot in the recovery-program a "master pin code"- question is popping up. I just click never ask for this again or something like that and after that everything is fine..
I´m very happy with the GingerDX!

Hi... i have a new problem... i updated my phone yesterday using pc companion to restore its original ROM because it was bricked last week... then i rooted it and installed the busybox, root folder and xRecovery.. i wanted to test this "STABLE ROM" on my x8..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
so i installed it using xRecovery.... i tested everything and it was great... i installed some app and games on it and tried to transfer the installation using app manager to save some phone memory... i also installed the launcher pro...
i reboot the phone to see if the xrecovery is working for backup if ever i encounter an error again using the ROM... and its working...
the last thing that i did was testing its wifi... its already in obtaining ip status... but its always disconnecting and after several disconnection, the phone reboot and suddenly its showed a message that "the application DSPmanager has stopped unexpectedly" (can't remember the exact message) and telling me to "force close" it... i rebooted the phone several times but it always shows that message... so i tried to access the xRecovery but it doesnt appear and i tried it many times....
is there something wrong on my installation process?? or this is just a bug of that ROM??? i've read some feedbacks on that thread but i didn't see a wifi problem on others and "the application DSPmanager has stopped unexpectedly"...
i just dont know why can't i access the xRecovery... PLease Help me T_T]
Thanks a lot for the feedbacks guys!!!

for me, the stable rom is minicm, it's standard
but i like feature on GDX/Froyobread

Hi mikel_0004 If you still can boot your phone, why don't you re-install xRecovery? and then restore a backup...
If your ROM was working BEFORE you started installing apps, then the problem should be some app you installed OR uninstalled, Did you uninstall any system app?
...tried to "transfer the installation" using app manager to save some phone memory...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
are you talking about SystemAppRemover ? what did you "transfer" ?
About DSP manager, you can safely delete that app from /system/app with root explorer. (I read it has problems if you are using kickass module)

@mikel_0004:
If you have your ROM's backup, you can try to flash back to stock ROM, re-root and re-install xRecovery. after that, restore your backup.

[Q] funny goings on

Hope someone might be able to help.
Just got my vega and first thought was to root, backup rom and flash. Im used to doing iit with my desire so thought it would be easy!
so i,m using Visionary to root, first temp then perm. Run titamium backup that should root and backed up a couple of apps no problem. Installed rom back up v3. Back starts by reboot and then sits at android out of the box before i have to switch it off after 10 mins or so. I i still try and flash after this (or before if i miss this stage) with new rom, cant open apps or force close and wifi just says error.
Great device though
Thanks

Which rom are you trying to flash?
I use the built in applications backup, located in settings/software tool to backup apps, with no problems.
Ive tried the r8 version and one other and ive also used the app backup but wanted to get the whole rom done before a full flash.

[Q] Problem with Sense 2.0 roms

ok..need some help here. Everytime I flash any sense 2.0 rom (port) Im plagued by the same error. I can use Titanium backup to reinstall about 90% of my apps but when I get to about 150mb of free space left NOTHING will install. I cant add a market app, cant complete my backup restore...nadda.
Im on an 004 EVO , Ive re-rooted with UnREvoked, and with Autoroot 2.24. Nothing works. My factory based (3.70) roms work fine. Ideas?
I have ran Warm Z and Mik Z. I didn't use titanium backup when i flashed WarmZ and downloaded all my apps with AppBrain. When I flashed to MikZ all of my apps and text messages were automatically restored via HTC hub.... So maybe that is why your having a problem.
If I do it with appbrain it will do the same. Lets me get down to about 150 mb of free space and then wont let me install anything else. I get the "invalid package" or "download unsuccessful". Is like either my free space reporting is screwed or there is something wrong with my partitioning in the 2.0 roms.
You can try retoring your apps with Astro, pain in the ass that it is, then restore data with Titanium.
its not related to way in which I restore the apps...more in the way the rom reports the free space. Ive tried different recoveries thinking that may solve the problem but have had no luck. The remarkable thing is that it only applies to ports. Anything based on the factory RUU works fine. This is more low level than just my install method..
re-rooted again with autoroot last night, gonna have to try the new MikZ thats supposed to some out today. Ive only used the ports from VirusRom, so maybe its related to the was Virus sets up his ports.. I would ask him but he banned me from his site after being there for 5 months and donating quite a few bucks...
and V, no hard feelings buddy but not cool. You should check the email I sent you, cant believe everything you read.
No ideas huh? I really wanna run a Z rom. Works fine on my sons 002 but I cant go through all the trouble of swapping

I would say its something to do with how you're partitioned. Were you using DTs a2sd at all? Last z rom I was on, which was myns, a2sd didn't work correctly. Maybe somethings conflicting?

[Q] Problems with GT540 roms

Hello, I recently have bought gt540. Everything was fine, but then I thought about upgrading android. I upgraded it and the problems started. With Andriod 2.1 my started to have various programs' crashes, so I installed france orange rom v20c for fastboot, flashed recovery and etc. Now the thing is my phone has crashes on custom roms too. even on Utopia and full froyo rom by MikeGapinski. Sometimes my phone don't even boot up at all, then ai took of the battery and turn it on once again. Sometimes when it boots up there is no crashes but there s some apps , too. For example sometimes market dissapperas. What can cause this problem? I know it can be because of kernel. I want to hear possible ways to solve this problem. Maybe it would help if I install stock 1.6 rom via KDZ updater and then install custom rom? And one more thing it won't boot up with v20c (or v20b) it stucks at android screen.
Thank you all in advance.
You cant go back to 1.6 now.....don't try to you will brick your cell.

I turned phone i booted up, everything looks works, expect, the market sometimes crashes ( because it loads up very slowly) and other thing programs won't install i tried Angry birds, and some other games ( which don't require for multi-touch) an i tried install some apps (quick settings, google maps) and they won't install,too. Although programs and games were downloaded successfully. Any ideas? After unsuccessful installing it says that package is wrong.

did you do a factory reset ?
After factory I got to the starting point, it hardly boot ups, if boot ups there are crashes. Could this be caused by that my phone as I suspect was not from baltic region and i installed update for Lithuania's location?
hmm that does no matter i live in Asia and i used the European version
I knew that it doesn't matter (on lg p500) but I thought:'Maybe there is a difference on gt540' So what could it be? Could this be because of bad fastboot.exe? I really don't know if the fastboot.exe witch i have is good ( it does the job, but maybe there are bugs in it)
I tried install Synergy rom (for old recovery) it started fine but it says it can't find xbin/cksum, this is the only rom which installs from recovery normally ( others jus t takes 5s... this one is copying files normally) So can anyone provide me rom for old recovery ? or maybe new fastboot.exe would be fine, too.
P.S.now i'm using CWM recovery v2.5.1.8

You can install any rom with this recovery....

But not all of roms I've tried installed correctly, some of them installs in 5-10s, others won't install, because there is some kind of error and how i end up with recovery saying : aborted.
you can try to flash 2.1 europian+fastboot and then to reflash mur4iks 2.3 but dont blame me if u brick phone :O this is just sugestion..
sent using Miroslav_mm SSL
this will do just flash with recovery 2.5.1.8 ...

It didn't work. I installed v20c france (orange) it seems to work, but sometimes it could be not stable (for example crash or rebooting). Maybe this related to cpu? Maybe it is overheating or smoething?
I think its not a problem with the cpu. The cpu runs with stock configs.
Try to flash the 2.1 + fastboot and then flash a 2.3 rom.

I mananged to install swift droid 2.3 from 2.1 (stock france orange rom) And there are some problems. I go to the market pick up game, it starts downloading it, after it finishes downloading, I get error :'downlaoding was unsuccessful, please try again'. I somehow installed Ninja chicken, and after all tuts in the game, you should be transferred and play, but that doesn't happen, I get that game turned off by itself. So what the problem? Is it really not cpu? Maybe something with cache?
hmmm ok er wipe data cache and try again?
I'm getting error abou downlaoding progrms... dunno why. Does my phone really don't support angry birds ?
EDIT: I am able to paly ninja chicken. Mostly this error is on the apps whick are larger than 8MB or something.

ICS WW_9.2.1.17 has problem ??

I upgraded WW_epad-user-9.2.1.17 then rooted and flashed Custom rom (ROM Android_Revolution_HD-EeePad_3.1.0 & ROM Revolver IC400 Beta 1.3.1).
Everytime i use Default Browser or DophineHD or Opera or Youtube. They kick me out homescreen after a few touch even i didn't touch anything in any browser.
Then i use Nvflash back to stock 9.2.1.17 and try use default browser. But i still was kicked out homescreen again
I looked at the ASUS task manager, it showed "browser" memory 12%.
i tried 3 times but it happened the same
Help me...
Hi
Did you run the superwipe script before you installed the custom rom 3.1.0? Did you do a factory reset afterwards - sorry I am no expert but these are things I see people recommending.
I have been running the 3.1.0 rom since Friday and it has only been giving me a couple of problems
File manager has frozen 2 times
The time this morning was 2 hours ahead and my microsd wasnt showing (did a reboot and time and sdcard were ok again)
once I had a total freeze up.
Otherwise I am pretty happy with this rom, in comparison to the problems that I see other people having with the different roms then I am not doing too bad.
From what I can see it is a hit and miss as to what problems you will have after installing a rom.

Problems after flashing EliteMod Kernel ICS 120704

Hi all,
first of all sorry for posting here and not in the EliteMod Thread. But i have to post 10 times and then ........
After flashing the new kernel i´m missing a lot of apps?!?!?!
No matter how i flash (wipe data/dalvik or wipe nothing) the apps are missing. I use dataswap (64mb) if necessary.
The apps i miss are Titianium Backup, Terminal, Gentle Alarm and so on.
I dont know why this is happens. Until now every new kernel or Elitemod Rom was fine.
I normally flash via 4ext recovery, but same via RomManager.
Any tipps or help??
BTW: I really love the work from Nikr. His EliteMod Rom and tweaks are really the best i´ve seen so long.
thx for help and keep flashing :fingers-crossed:
If you did a full wipe and installed a fresh new Rom then course you're going to be missing apps until you re-install them. Or at the very least install the titanium backup app then running a restore for the apps.
Though with a kernel-only flash (i.e.: that new one the other day) you shouldn't be wiping data/etc to flash it.
Maybe a little more details on your problem?
Hi,
thx for the quick respond.
I downloaded kernel zip and put it on the sdcard. After that boot into recovery and choose install zip from sdcard.
Thats was the normal way for kernels. But if i do this now i miss a lot of apps.
I tried to wipe only dalvik and flash, same result. I tried to wipe dalvik/data and flash, same result.
Only changes till the last rom flash i did, was to pull down the LCD destiny from 240 to 210 via Rom Toolbox.
It wouldn´t be such a big deal, but the apps i miss i also couldn´t find in the market. If i search for Titanium Backup nothing appears. Same for Gentle Alarm and so on.
I flash Roms for over 1 year now, but something like that never happend
the change in dpi will affect some apps as "not avalaible" as the are only able to work with certain densities. maybe change this and see what happens
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Today was a new Kernel Version released and everything is fine now.
Looks like there was a kernel problem with apps on stored on the sd card.
thx for help anyway
