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.

Thanks for urs answers. I got i need question.
About the "core" in ours X8, What do u think? Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread? Why?
Hi, i want to compare the performance, advantages of cyanogenmod vs sony official firmware 4.0.1.A.0.283. Sony take note to improve the system in the next updates!
1ºThe gallery:
With the las firmware 4.0.1.A.0.283 the gallery is very slow, and opening a photo takes about 4-5 seconds with a class 10 SD card.
With cyanogenmod the photos instantly open. Even my girlfriend mini pro (SK17i) is faster than my arc opening photos.
2ºQuality of sound in calls:
I have reported in othet threads, problems with the sound with the phone in 2G mode only. I have noticed breaks in sound and clicks during a call.
With Cyanogen the problem is not present. Please sony fix it in the official firmware!
File with a recording of the problem: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FC0C7EEG
In the recording you can listen 6 tones, the 3 last are distorted, this also occurs during the conversation with the voice.
3ºOptions:
In cyanogenmod 7.1 there are profiles for the sound (yes like in all the old sony ericsson phones).
Why don´t sony implement this?
4ºBattery:
With the official firmware the min CPU freq is set to 245 Mhz, with cyanogen is 122 Mhz. This means lower battery consumption at iddle state.
5ºApps still open even you have closed it before.
Not with cyanogenmod
6ºThe sound recorder
It comes with android by default, but there is no shortcut in our arc! and can´t use it!
7ºMusic player in the lockscreen
8ºCamera options
Posibility to select the quality of the photo.

Does anyone really select anything but the highest quality?
CM7.1 much smoother than SE stock... but CM7 won't have the SE features like xLOUD, bravia engine etc... but well you can't have everything in the world...

Seems like you dont know that Sony's rom hardly gives a 1MB pic while in cyanogen it aroun 2~3 MB
The problems i want SE to fix are
A.) Camera image size (i hate cyanogen ui) and some options too like contrast, sharpness etc
B.) Option to disble light sensor and have fixed brightness
C.) Status bar widgets
D.) Locscreen and volume button music controls
E.) Swipe to remove notifications
F.) Options to change camera settings while recording video ( like flash off,exposure etc)
G.) Option to pickup calls using Back button and hanging up by menu button
H.) Others i forgot

Does it mean that CM7.1 is way better than the current stock ROM? It would also be nice if you guys can post some advantages of the stock rom over CM7.

I prefer stock user interface otherwise I would go over to cm straight away. In cm everyuthing is just plain and black and the home launcher is rubbish. I like the stock one.
Advantages of stock rom...!!!
1. Better keyboard...!!!
2. Better looks...!!!
3. Supports many languages...!!!
4. Supports Devnagri fonts(personal requirement)...!!!
5. Facebook notification on the screen...!!!
6. Has timescape that notifies everyone reading your status that you have an Xperia...!!!

Things I miss from Stock ROM
1. Launcher (Silky smooth)
But I got it from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973245
But it is not latest launcher. Can someone provide latest launcher please ??
2. Camera application.
3. Bravia Engine and xLoud
4. Music Player.
Things better in cyanogenmod :
1. Performance ( Overclocked to 1.5 GHz by default)
2. Themes
3. Apps can be moved to SD card even if not allowed
4. Latest android 2.3.7
please put BE to cm7...

i don't think they can ever port the proprietary software unless SE tells them to, which will never happen.

Bravia Engine, Camera app, HDMI, xLoud, slide keyboard, in the other hand its a heavy ROM, and resources like GPU, CPU and RAM are not well used, some lags on launcher, slow system some times, etc... I personally prefer pure android feel and experience allied with a very light responsive and no bloatware than a rom customized by brands... For me its like windows, no one wants ASUS programs or HP programs in their brand new computer, I brought an android device, so I want to experience android as close as possible from its pattern...

Root it and remove what you do not like (I bet you've already done it)
Personally I have a beautiful, stable, smooth, fast and bugless .386

I totally agree, the stock .368 is amazingly smooth, bugless and stable. Three parameters I prioritise very high, a fast reliably phone that just works and looks good at the same time
I have installed doomkernel, but the increased performance from overclocking is only to me really noticeable when browsing heavy web pages. Everything runs smooth at 1GHz comparing it to 1.6GHz.
Have to say I would miss things like Bravia engine and the camera app so I will be holding off on upgrading to CM7.1 for now. I've rooted with locked bootloader, given it a clean up and I'm happy. Might install Doomkernel though and overclock very soon.
it is CM wins~~~once you choice CM's rom, you are not interesting in any other rom,include SE's
cm 7.1 is fast but i have issues with camera flash synch... =( it's not flashing when it needs so the picture taken is all black ... does anybody know solution about this problem ?

It's not correct to generalize that all people would not want ASUS, HP programs in their new laptops
Not everyone is like you, many prefer brand customized ROM, that's what makes a difference between devices
I would say it's 50/50 some prefer stock and others want pure vanilla

performance all the way.
if you then need more battery just underclock or change governor.
GB roms ...simple with minimal essential apps..later users can have a choice to put his own apps/themes,options to be provided for special themes or performance.. memory and battery performance tweaked..
Is there any way to build with Cyanogen Mod / MIUI based GB Roms..?
Performance, battery life lasts a day with moderate use
Similar to simple streak. Stock 3xx theme

One that you can install with an update.pkg, I've read so many threads about flashing and I'm even more confused about it than I was before I read any. Why make it so difficult, surely the android world would benefit from making it easier to install custom roms :-D
Light, themed like minimal text theme for adw launcher [for example]
Tweaked, option for battery life mode or performance mode, something unique touch,
Something that has till now not even introduced for steak as a Rom

Yeah I too like that rom but I'm kind of a stock kinda Guy which is why donutHD stole me for good. I would really like to love fxp cm9 for its stockiness but that 30fps thing would make a notebook flip artist feel sick. *sigh* I had this phone going on 3years and still ticking very well. Ordered a new shell and gonna have him as good as new and sell it and I always liked the arc S is ill replace my x10 with it.
Rom: DONUTHD
Pros: Super stable
Cons: would like the have xperia S update.

Paranoid android rom
PROS
1.awesome ui, phone and tablet mode.
-ability to change apps dpi individually. Dpi for system and framework also can be changed.
Cons
1. Cm9 bugs
This rom is beautiful, I've used many ics roms and this one is perfect,for me.
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
Rom: Achotjan's xperia S rom.
Pros: I personally love xperia S ui, like the lockscreen music option, good ram management.
Cons: battery life is not that good, initially free ram is about 123MB then after few days use it reduces, which can then be re-obtained by rebooting.
Tweaks: Supercharger v9 (works amazingly on this rom) helps to save my battery juice somewhat.
I used Carbon tweak app for other tweaks like beats audio, dolby, srs, etc.
tried flashing "Ultimate boost" tweak package but dint see any further improvement.
I have used almost every rom including xperia s Ics, mookee, cm7, etc.
first of all hello
im using ThJap's Rom version 18b... you will not find this version in our forum,, idk why but ThJap decided to post his rom on his blog which i downloaded there from.
using stock kernel with it because stock kernel is the only kernel that runs fast in his rom,,, all other kernels are incompatible and will run like turtles.
pros::: all experia looks.,,, battery life is good... very fast and fluid,,,, very stable and no random reboots.
cons.. the only thing this rom doesnt have is the stock lockscreen from xperia s..,,, it has his own themed lockscreen slider which i didnt like. instead i played around with his rom and managed to get stock slider from xperia s integrated..
.i really recommend using this rom ... u will see real differences between other xperia s roms.. i promise...also this rom has lots of customisation there.
I am waiting for review thjap roms.
Currently im using X10S..oh well,stock look is sexy as ever ^ω^
Pros- 2nd cycle of battery,wow i can say! 2 days with normal usage! No lags at all,dunno with games cuz dint test with any..no wlods,no sudden battery drain,excellent deep sleep and the best part is reboot is so damn fast! Damn i hate waiting device rebooting after flashing or whatever.Doom kernel is fast!
Cons- less customization
-very little ram left(the setting itself uses 26-30mb ram-_-||)
Tweak used-supercharger v6 latest release.Thats all.
Overall- I give a 8/10. Its definitely a daily rom for its stabilty and full functionality.

Nice:
Techdevil evolution (stock based)
PROS:
+light, about 180 mb free ram, 150 in normal use :good: :good:,
+fast, smooth and everything goin good,
+fully working camera and video (stockbased...)
+ good gaming performance
+good battery performance
+scrolling is so damn sexy *_____*, I keep on scrolling the whole day
CONS:
+In-App-Settings doesnt work, can easily be fixed by flashing another framework-res.apk
+Theme (meego); not everyboody likes it, but its.at least not another boring sstyle or faked ics...
TWEAKS USED:
none till now, if necessary geeky engine
Btw, kernel: doomkernel v06 FS
Give it nine and a half of ten, because meego icons arent exactly my style and it needs a long time to change them by hand.... But, its sure the best rom i used sooo far (and i tried many)

This week the 3rd rom i flashed !
Rom: DonutHD 2.2.9
Pros:
- Everything u need from X10i !
-Full functionality!
Using th-kernel instead of doom's,some said doom's causing lags with this rom
Th-kernel n5-1 is recommended..
-Deep sleep works so well..no a single drop during standy mode.
-Beautiful UI ,Sexy ICONS!!! XD
-Excellent ram management.(not joking..this rom can compete with mokee rom wic i used before=120-160 free rams all time)
-NO wlods, NO random reboots
-NO boot animation so reboot is damn fast.
Cons: Until now i find none..THis masterpiece just fulfill all my needs for my old X10i.
10 out of 10! If anyone seen my review,U can flash this ROM.Easy and surprises ahead.
Just read some few pages back from the last page and follow the OP in DonutHD thread.
Dont flash any addon from the first page.Developer told so.So just follow his instructions.
NOw.
For Th kernel u have to flash stock kernel after the rom settles.then flash thkernel n5-1 like normal Rom installation.
Happy flashing ^^
cons to donuthd:
- not better than all the other roms (in performance), only different in look, which is
- not beautiful in my eyes, I like my gingerbread lookin like gingerbread
also had three roms this week: stock (for a completely new install), donut hd and now techdevil meego (that i had longer time ago and left because of settings fc, now back cause i fixed it

For the past few days I've been playing around with Paranoid Android, and aside from the usual CM9 bugs being the only cons I've found so far, pros would defiantly be the eye candy factor (hybrid tablet/phone dpi's), and it's also quite stable and fast once you set it up right!
FeraICS V2.1
The best ICS Rom i ever flashed.
This could be my last review in this thread..I found my Rom for my phone (*^﹏^*)
Everyone plz try this Rom!
Life without no regrets!
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
YEAH!
My Rom: Feralabs ICSv2.
Pros:
+penis grows a bit - caused by ics on x10
+its damn fast and smooth, only forrest can be faster
+good ram ~100 mb
+sexy sexy cm9.1
+at least as good as any gingerbread rom, better in my eyes
+battery is good till now
+two updates till now, new kernel released, v3 in work.
Cons:
-two many preinstalled apps (but thats what I always think)
-thread always spammed by thankful fellows and me ;-D
-big sizebof the rom, its 211 mb in zip package and 315 unzipped (no guarantee^^), caused by aroma installet...
At the end not only another ics rom but a real new generation Rom,bit really predicts the 4th generation of x10 development!
Daily use is guaranteed, and i see no dev that is more ambitioned or skilled like fera!
Greets and try it.
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
Now i'm curious to test fera's ICS, you guys didn't mentioned at your Con list but i assume that camera isn't working fully yet, right?
After my frustration with many cm7 and MIUI roms i'm back to stock with DonutHD 2.2.9 r2 and i'm not coming back unless something reeeeeaaaaaly amazing comes out.
Donut is fast, fully functional, stable and battery friendly, i'm using ferakernel v2.7 and nuriJ's mods for status bar and screenshot, i don't need anything else unless it's something that means a significant step foward.
camera 8mp is working im still misssing some features but it takes photos and they are beautiful

Maybe you should wait for FERA v3...the changelog is amazing ! gonna update the rom whenever it's ready!
Bugs are still cm9 bugs..arent my bugs anyway..
Overall just flash Fera's Rom at your own risk..There is no guarantee for your satisfaction.
We are only give recommendation and probably some fun.
Happy flashing!
Ok, I will try it, the worse that could happen is coming back to DonutHD
Dear XDA developers, modders and users i am curious to know do you like more performance and stability of android 2.3 and older or looks and apps of android 4.0 and newer.
I prefer GB roms because for everyday use ICS/GB roms destroy my already weak battery, are slow and unstable imo , also when i download a rom i remove stuff i dont need and add stuff i do.
I edit roms but never publish them as my original work
Check how fast is it these two roms with 50+ user apps. Htc wildfire still good to go.
Check out my htc vdo shots below:
miniCM7 rom
CM7 Nightly Rom
I also froze a few system apps, what do u add and remove, can you plz make a vdo sneak peak.
My vote is for Performance.

Well i havent got time for making videos now ,but if you are interested in my roms then i do the following:
* depending on the rom size and features
- gallery
- fm radio
- latinIME
- tts and picotts
- some fonts
- alarms, notifications and ringtones
- gapps if available
- cwm ( i used revolutionary so cwm is not necessary
- cmwallpapers
- bootanimation.zip
+ file manager
+ quickpic
+ keyboard ( using hackers keyboard in this moment )
+ beats sometimes
+ custom ringtones and notifications
+ sometimes i edit the framework-res
conclusion - nothing complicated but by removing apps, fonts , boot animation i shave off +- 20mb of rom size and speed up boot to around 35-40 seconds
and in my barebones rom (cm7 based) i have removed all apps that are safe to remove except :
-music
-camera
-mms
-[App that ive possibly forgot to mention]
and in total my barebones rom has 50mb which i use when i fck up something ( my ubuntu didnt recognize android 4.0 as a usb drive so i couldnt change the rom ; when stuck in bootloop ) because it installs faster and its a good alternative as a rom to give to my younger sister
Because its faster i also change the default wallpaper in roms that i download
Curently i use TouchWiz with sympfinity kernel V4.5 its fast and battery efficient ( and FABULOUS )
P.S. yes wildfire is still good to go but development in xda is ceasing and it has no gpu. Technology is becoming better every day so i will update in the near future but wildfire is a legend and should not be forgotten
Well we still got some people doing good work, have you tried the AOKP light continued by wasimk32 ? I run it smooth and fine with smartass and preety much 5 hungry apps installed other than gapps; I'm only using it for about 5 days now but i did not feel the need to run supercharger, wich is more than i can say for latest gingerbread stock cm considering aokp is ics based.
Also if you want looks+even better performance you can give JellyBread a try made by wasimk32 aswell, i installed it and when i saw my willy fly troughout the apps and menus like a galaxy S2 i almost teared up a bit xD.
Bottom line: I think we can get probably another decent year where we can say willy kept up before we start using it for only its phone-text functions .
