I'm a huge fan of the Android community and I recently upgraded from an x8 to Xperia Play. I was wondering at this moment in time which ROM is best, Default or Custom? In custom roms can we play games which are designed for the Xperia Play or only FPSE ?
Which ROM to use always comes down to the individual. For me the default ROM with root is perfect and the unlock bootlader process isn't worth it to me. I bet many would have different views.

Having taken the plunge for my first android phone namely the SE X10 on a standard rom and already rooted it, I'm just wondering if any of you would like to give me some tips on what to do next with this phone having being a wm 6.1 user for many years I'm at a bit of a loss with this one I've never used linux or any of the derivatives of that software which I'm lead to believe android is based, so pretty much clueless with this one kind regards Mcpaddy.
Sorry forgot to mention it has android 2.1 update 1 installed on it and its the X10I regards Mcpaddy.

Basically you need to decide whether you want to go with a totally custom ROM, or modify the SE 2.1 ROM.
If you go total custom there are some guides to do it as telmoabff linked above.
I chose to just mod the 2.1 SE ROM and there are many different options you can go with, also many guides which will help you out.
You can get some very good customization / performance out of the 2.1 SE ROM...however, to get the absolute best performance / totally custom you will have to go with one of the user developed ROMs.
(Since I am kind-of new to this as well someone please correct me if I am wrong.)
I would root, install xrecovery and then z's freex10 b4 froyo rom as its the simplest and most stable rom i have tried. Once you have it running good then make a backup and try out any of the roms that float your boat, you can always just restore back to z's rom if things go wrong. Very hard to break the x10 have put mine in bootloop bout 6 times trying out the cool stuff on here but always been able to fix it!
Just my opinion tho

FreeX10 is the base for which all of the X10 Froyo ROMs are built, if you want something that has more tweaks and features Wolfbreak's CyanogenMod 6.1.3 ROM is a good one with a lot of support and features. Id go custom if I were you mainly because of the fact that 2.1 doesnt support Flash or app2sd which are 2 features that really make android great.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
Or you can use freex10 and simply flash cyanogen settings via xrecovery
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
If you want to stick with stock you should sysctl and jit along with few build.prop mods. Just search the forums. I would recommend the Z's freex10 rom for speed and stability. Tripmiui rom for something different.

Hello,
I've X10 i with android version 2.3. I've been tierd of this layout, so boring look!
Want a new layout for my andorud 2.3. Any idèa?
Get an MIUI Rom, they're really different.
Or just some different launchers, there are loads out there that change the UI.
I personally like spb3d, but have a play with others
try launchers or custom roms
CheersS!
Milton --> From X10i on ROM : "ThGo2 v10. 0_RC4"

If you want a completely different UI, you can try the MIUI ROM.
Thnx for replaying guys! I'll see which one i like.
Gonna call out if i need help with it
I just have rooted my X10 i. And next step is take backup and flash the new layout?
Btw, can any one link to the differents layout? Plox!

we're not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to this phone and room choice
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Please do, there is a need.
Mod it for speed and space if possible. We need a minimalist rom for gsm locked bootloaders like that cola one for cdmi
Theme it ICS, Remove all bloatware.
Ok Guys I understand Cola is good But I will Use ADW launcher for speed and etc Currently I am Developing It I will Post Some Screenshots,
This is in Beta so Everything is working Calls Etc.

What Build are you running? It is made on Stock 2.3.4 .42 build?
Make a Backup!
Is there anyway to get the Tmobile theme manager implemented into this ROM or does it only work in CM? I like the simplicity off just swapping themes in and out
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
I will try but I dont think I will be able to cos its a Unsigned Package!
Im on that build only its r800a. Can switch to r800i easy enough though. Im backed up via titanium and recovery
Ok mate there is a link in the Dev section ok flash R800i .42 and Install root and cwm ok gtg school tmoz

There exists a kernel for locked X10 phones. Like Racecar said, if a developer is willing, could you help?
Here's a link to the thread of this kernel I mentioned.
(Don't flash it just to be dumb... It's just proof of it's existence.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226826
According to the instructions, you just flash it via CWM. EVERY Xperia Play user, even the locked Verizon models, now have access to CWM recovery.
Implement baseband .36 for the best radio
I'm unlocking bootloader this week somtime and will start on porting Cola to GSM.
Cool Hogwarts

Hi guys. To those of you who wants to shift from GB to ICS I want to recommend this set up. Nothing fancy but has less to no bugs and with an awsome performance.
This set up is for R800i.
1.) Firmware
Use ftf .62
2.) Custom Kernel
Flash Lupus ICS (ICS beta based)
3.) Custom Rom
Flash Sechko_JJ's Hybrid Rom
(stable, clean and amazingly fast)
Touchpads and Games run well on this rom too
That' all LOL. I've tried most of the popular roms for R800i and got fed up with the bugs and low ram availability. Try these out =) you guys wont regret it.

Very nice, not sure if it would help R800x users like me but I trust your recommendation!
Yeah sorry I can't recommend any set up for the other versions of the Play. Just wanted to share this and maybe someone might find this helpful. I just got tired of switching between roms. I've tried MIUI, Mark's roms and all of Sechkos ports. For the record all the roms that I mentioned are nice and they work well, but my current set up works great for me. I hope someone will try this and like this set up like I do. =)
Btw im new to all this rooting, flashing and all that hehe. I'm still learning. I think im already hooked to the forums and modding my play now LOL.

i want to install custom ginger bread or ics rom on my xperia x10. i want stable rom. can anyone help me with this...
Begin with rooting your device,its pretty easygoing.. there are ample guides for.it! And then get a custom recovery once u do all this the rock solid rom is to be chosen, for me its wolfbreak if you are absolutely sure about safeplay and if some tweaks and real cool rom is that you want i would suggest feralab V 20! Do a bit of searching! And ya for fera rom you might need to unlock bootloader for this too.... Ohh ya begin with installing flashtool on your pc and just follow few guides you will rock in few days! Do search!! :thumbup:
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda app-developers app
"Flashtool". It is all you need!
And a Rom... If you only want a faster rom that looks like stock gb.... head over for leaf rom.
If you want something new, try a dixperia (7 or 8, but 7 seems to me to be the better one), for performance and a lot to play around try m&m team cm7.2, for gaming wolfs gaming rom and for th Ultimate Over kill bombastic Rom choose Feralab ICS v2! By the way its cm9.2 and i use it right now .
But i recommend to start on a gingerbread rom.
At last if your keen on style and looks try cosmicUI, a MIUI port, its unbeatable in looks and theming.

If you dont care about garanty than the easiest way is to download and install flashtool, download doomkernel to "firmwares" folder of flashtool. Then enable "usb debugging" in your phone (settings- apps- development) and put it on your pc, wait till flashtool recohnizes your phone, then click on "plugins" in flashtool and "unlock bootloader", wait till it finished and click flash, choose flashmode and then the doomkernel. After that youll have Root, X- and clockwordmodrecovery and a custom kernel on that you can flash any stock based rom, e.g. dixperia 7 avenger

I find DonutHD to be the best of both worlds. Its smooth, stable, and shire as hell faster than CM 7.2. Oh and bro tip use doomkernel!
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
ya, man, stay away from all, ya, iean all , ics rom. they cannot meet your criteria of stability.
just stick to gingerbread.
great gingerbread roms are:
donuthd
feralab JAF
focus on this 2.
for kernel, great kernels are:
ferakernel
doomkernel (medium overclocked one)
thats all you need for npw.
if you like some adventure later on, you could try flashing ics rom . as said before, ics roms are all not stable.
however, you could see some new features.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
sorry bro but currently I am at feraICS v2.2 and its as stable as donut hd.... i tried both and so I can really say that, dunno what you did.
But forvthe first Timevit is really better to flash a gingerbread Rom and at the moment x10 doesnt really need ics brcause all one need is running on gingerbread as well, probably better, and it has more free ram too. but that doesnt mean at all that ics isnt stable.
