Well... I'm currently using Swiftdroid v2.0 RC4. The first link isn't from CyanogenMod sources and clean Android (thus from Google sources). I'd prefer Swiftdroid due to the fact that it has UI additions and settings not available to 'just' Android. BUT the clean Android has screen calibration.
I haven't the first ROM but I'd prefer what Swiftdroid has given me.
Like above aosp is lighter but I always go back swiftdroid for the themes
I hate how utopia or other roms and softmods are never in these lists its always aosp vs swiftdroid

i meant in a more general sense people ask about 2.3.5 swiftdroid and aosp they dont account for softmods or upcoming ports or kernels etc
And they dont think of any of the 2.2 roms even though some of them are amazing for some peoples needs bat life basic but snappy etc

I tried some 2.2 roms, and my opinion is that all are worst that the gingerbread roms. Do you think your battery life is longer than gingerbread roms?
I have 2.3.5 rc4....it's beautiful and fast. Battery life for me is not a problem. Cyanogenmod is a good invention,really. Never i'll turn back to 2.2 or another Rom . But....every Rom is good and a special thanks for all developers.
CM7
I've tried tons of roms, and still I always return to CM7.
I have found that only Elegance Swift 5.0 can cope with CM7, but Elegance is 2.2. and I hate having app2sd because I can't do it through rom.

Did you try [AOSP][v4.1] BFS/SIO/smartass/minmax Kernel mod?
i came to forum to ask same question
i ve visited the forum to ask same question. Which rom is best? But question is already asked.
i am using swiftdroid. Battery life is not good.
i dont know other rom, i havent tried. i am using wifi tether frequently so i havent installed this rom.
Actually i am waiting .35 kernel. Anyway i thank you all developers.
Yeah Rc6 was good but im hoping the next one i can class as a true competitor for 2.3.5
We will see how time goes lol
I just think all roms should be considered and given there merits for what they do best
Right now
2.2 butter smooth with simple functionality
2.3.5 speed and custom settings with alot more options
Future
.32 Performance improve
.35 Possible usb hosting and over bits
All devs aim to do different things and do that particular task better

VS
seems like gingersense is leading
All this effort is made to make a full working CM7 ROM and now u ppl want GingerSense???
Idiots....
I think that Racht should finish what he started... he has made a really great work!!! But there´s only one thing that is missing from the CM7, that is the camera... I will be on CM7... Racht was great on that ROM and it´s stable, battery friendly... great
Racht´s please finish the CM7, then if you like evolve the gingersense!!!
Cheers from Portugal
maybe with gingersense we will get camera quicker
Cm7 of course!

I would be glad to see a fully working CM7 first! Gingersense can be developed after..
racht is giving us the option not many devs do that
i think he porting the gingersense rom would give us a fully functional rom and working apps including camera after some tweaking
so i think there will be faster progress as the rom already is perfect
but just needs to be tweaked for x8

If that is the case, great! I think he should say why is he trying to use other ROM... Is CM7 in the limit? And GingerSense has the solution for the camera? Racht what´s the reason behind this change in development?

GingerSense!! FTW
May be someone could help me with the Camera, he seem to have problems of getting the camera to work, back to .15 Froyo! Still hoping for a fully working ROM

Sorry my english!
GingerSense VS CM7 ???
I DON'T CARE!!!!
As long as we will have fully working gingerbread for x8.
And after that, we can customize/theming in anyway we like
I really don't see any diference between CM6 and CM7. But GingerSense looks amazing. And I have fully fuctional MiniCM so I vote for GingerSense.
i hope that racht will develop GingerSense, because it is really better than cm7 (sense ui is perfect + i don't like cyanogenmod, it is like vanilla android)
go racht go !!!!
I dont mind which one,just hope getting a near perfect gingerbread rom is enough

not a fans of eyecandy rom.. performance is what I need most.
I can theme with so many widget or mod to make myown style.. not just use what million people likes.
CM already mod alot google rom to optimize the performance, I think stock sence rom is a step behind.
but.. if racht can and have enough time to finish both.. I guess with two option of rom will satisfied all rom-addict here.
but now I choose cm.
Features:
This is basically JVR based Apex 9.0 minus home haptic minus deodexing minus lockscreen options minus overscroll glow.
If you want all these features Apex 9.0 is your stop.
This is not an Apex release. 9.0 is the official version out
Reason for keeping it ODEXED:
In layman terms deodexing on JVQ+ roms seem to break browser.
In theory deodexing might be breaking some other functions too but browser is most noticable.
Once this process is fixed we will start getting wonderful ROMs with fully working browser and what not.
Since this is odexed rom MODs are much harder to implement. However it seems to be noticably smoother.
Whats ODEXED? Framework & Browser

I have not found any benefits yet but I also have not found any major problems. I am using the Darky R kernel and it is smooth.
I had to reboot for the phone to allow TiBu to root but that is it. Install all apps with no problems.
Not sure how much messing I will do with it since it looks like not much will be done on this ROM for a while... and I do not use the alarm clock

Redemption Rom Objective:
The end goal that I've always striven for with Redemption Rom is to provide a highly optimized custom Rom experience with no one feature taking away from another. Slight UI tweaks that improve overall aesthetic appearance and at it's core a stable customized kernel that provides users with a low latency, battery efficient user experience. Experimental features will not be implemented with Redemption Rom. Stability is of utmost importance and always considered to be one of my top priorities.

Hello people. I see so many Rom's on here and would like to know what is the best rom going and why. I have already installed some and find they iver lag my x8 out or temp brick it.
I am about to give XG!N LX V7 (STOCK.2.3.7) ago will see how things go.
I wanted to know on the 015 version of x8 how do you change the kernel so you can use more upto date ones.
What is the best kernel and rom you have found that work good as a pair and work good together. ???

Well when you are new to this and search and finds no results that am looking ro is why i am posting and asking for support. Might be ok for you cos your smart or so but for me am learning
Have been using the GingerXperiaRay for quite a while, it's the best ROM I've used so far, no lags, no bugs, no restarts, perfectly smooth. For a note, I have tested almost all ROMs out there for the X8.
There are so many good roms here. For stock kernel:
Prime HD by Haka - fast and smooth. Good batery life.
GingerDX - this is one rom that is part of the History. As all Doixanh's work.
These 2 represent all the new CM7 can give to our X8. Very good performance.
Now , in my opinion, however, the best Rom (I have to underline the bias of this phrase, because the best represents only user's opinion, and not necesarily a fact) is one rom that behaves and scores better than the original, stock Rom.
This rom is FroyoPro by lrakkarl.
Cheers,
X8 DROID is the best!!

GingerDX with ALFS: it never give me problems, and is the fastest and completest ROM for X8
FroyoPro is the best and most complete Rom for the x8 at the moment. It also has the best battery life of any Rom I've seen. Trust me this is the best Rom.

Hello everyone.In this thread I will write down reviews for some of the best ROMs for Xperia X8.ATM I tested just 3 ROMs and I will review each of them , but I will test more and review them right here for you
To find a ROM in my review list press CTRL + F in the same time and write the ROMs name
FDE +4 - Final Verison
In this morning I was looking for a custom ROM for my new Xperia X8 when I found this.I was amazed by it's Xperia look.I also read some comments from guys who already tested it and I wanted it tok.I installed it trough CWM and I excepted poor performance because all of us know that stock kernel isn't that good (yes , I use stock kernel because I have my phone sim-locked and I don't want to break it's radio). I instantly loved the bootanimation which is simple but cool and after the boot , I was truly amazed.This ROM is very smooth and clean.I haven't got any lag until now and battery seems to be OK.Also I have installed some games to test it's performance.I tested both , 2D and 3D games to see how it's working and it worked like a charm.The performance in 2D is amazing and in 3D some games still need Chainfire3D to work properly.I overclocked it at 690mhz and it's very good.I also like the idea of including theme chooser.I downloaded Xperia Arc theme from Google Play (which is also included) and applied it.It's working perfect.The clock is by default on the center of status bar and it's nicely covered by date when you pull the bar down.This is my first review and hope you liked it.Below you can see some stats to have the same performance or maybe better with a new kernel.
Phone specs:
Stock Kernel
Baseband 015
CPU 691mhz - 122mhz
Grades:
Performance : 9
Design : 7 because the ugly icons
Battery life : 8 which is pretty good
Installation : 10 very easy

Nice. I also review ROMs. If you would like to team up, we can create better reviews for the public. Just an idea. Also, I think if you used standard English and not slang your review might be more professional. And maybe some structure? But great overall.
No offense, but I think you shouldn't be judging which are the best ROMs for our device. Each user has it's own best ROM based on their experience.
In my opinion, you should review the current most popular ROMs for the X8.
Oh my the OP is just trying to make a review based in his/her opinion and you guys bombarded him with this and that JUST BECAUSE OF HIS TITLE? Sad to say but this is what Ive noticed. When new people comes and and post ideas and reviews or do something useful although it already exist, you always bombard them with negative feedback's like that thread exist that is not useful blah blah blah. Whats wrong with you guys? You say for a fact that everyone has its own best rom, then the OP has his own so his review never existed.
I think what we need to do here is guide noobs rather than posting degrading and disappointing words. If you dont feel like helping then dont but please refrain from posting such things. I wonder if people do the same actions to you. sighs..
Please stay on topic guys! Further trolling won't be tolerated!
@OP: I suggest you to change the title/body of your thread a bit to give it a more personal touch.
Maybe this will keep the trolls away

In 2 yerars of 'rominstalling' on X8 I think GingerDX v031b and the latest Alfs (08a) Kernel is the best of all. The phone is quick, can work very stable on 748MHz.
