[Q] Best Android Version For Calls, Gaming and Surfing

First of all, I'm sorry if there is a thread similar to this, or with the same purpose. I'm opening this thread because I've tried almost every mod for LG GT540 and I don't know what to use anymore...
Been a long Cyanogen mod user, I've now changed to Super Fast Froyo and I find it really as it says SUPER FAST.
What I'm asking you is, if you can tell me what is the best mod for playing games the phone wasn't designed for (any 3D game), surfing (without force closes), and using the phone as a PHONE (calls, messages - without force closes)
I've tried OpenSwift (don't know what version) about 3 months ago.. and I was able to play games, but in that time the mod wasn't stable...
Also, Cyanogen 7 (2.3.3) and I wasn't able to play games.. though the phone worked smooth, with some force closes and few restarts..
I've searched lots of forums, but everywhere there are persons saying this is better than that and vise versa..
That's normal yea.. but got tired of that, and decided to open a thread here..
About the games not playing.. well I maybe am a beginner.. but I've tried everything I could..
Any help appreciated ..
Thanks.

Stay on a custom 2.1 rom it will solve all ur problems..
Use swap for speed.
Link sd for unlimited storage space.
Nothing is as stable as 2.1 version.

I agree with sanmit that everything works in 2.1 and for games is good. So you should stay in one of the many good custom versions out there. And check the other posts until devs cook something worth it to change again. Now mur4ik has released version 2.0. So will see how it goes and inform

Thanks for replying!
I've decided to go with Elegance Swift 2.1, but I have a problem now... I can't flash it with Clockwork Recovery... it says "installation aborted"
I have wiped user data, phone, cache.. everything but it just doesn't work.. Is there a way to do this with fastboot? That's lots easier.. but I see a file called "data.img" here and don't know how to write that on phone
Thanks.

buya new phone?
just sayin, i dont think the gt540 is the best one for gaming. as its not capacitive screen. so you cant play mario or something smooth. but yeah as said above the stock 2.1 is the best. as i hav the SwiftDroid milestone1 V2.0 android 2.3.3 the battery dies too quick to play many games.

I don't want new phone lol
by the way... I found out how to install via Recovery.. but now my phone won't boot.. it's stuck on LG LOGO...
I can't post in developers threads.. and I can only ask here..

hi mate you need to flash both the recovery image and the boot image that should get your phone working again

Well.. I flashed clockwork recovery (if that's what you meen) and using CR i used the option restore to actually install the Elegance Swift 2.1 mod
do i have to flash the boot image after i did this with fastboot or?
EDIT
Did use fastboot for boot.img, still the same problem...

if you flashed via recovery then the boot.img should have been included in the backup so in what i will do is download the rom your tring to use and make a fresh backup and upload it for you
link me to the thread you downloaded the rom from

ok give me half an hour and ill get you a working version of this

uploading now for you i have included the easy flash tool

download this and put your phone in fastboot mode then run the start me.bat in the zip folder hopefully that should work

Thanks for the effort .. but I'm getting FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links))
when trying to send system.img to phone
EDIT
I'm using XP SP3, does that changes anything? :\
EDIT 2
Can you just tell me how to do this with Clockwork?

to do it via recovery copy the zip file you and me downloaded to to the root of your sd card then go into recovery and select install update zip then select choose update zip and then select the zip file you copied to the root of the sd card

It worked, finally!
Thanks a lot for you time and help

no problem anytime

I think that CM7 is a lot better than 2.1 in many terms. (battery is worse, but it still lasts 2 days)

Use the stock 2.1 thats the best for your wishs...
Its the most useful...

i try everything but always back to stock or soft mod 2.1

Problem installing android 2.3, 2.2 (mobile gets stuck)

Hi
I have a Xperia X8. When I bought it, the phone had Android 2.1, So I decided to install Froyo 2.2 following all the instructions from this forum. (Unclick, unroot, xrecovery, etc) The installation was success and I was using 2.2 until today.
Well, today I tried to install 2.3 gingerbread using the same way that I used to install 2.2 (In fact I just put the new framework in the phone's SD card and then I installed it using xRecovery)
Ok, It installed successfully and after finish, I reboot the phone (always on xrecovery)... Here is the problem: It rebooted and It shows the typical SE logo for a few seconds, and It reboots again doing the same **** lot of times... I don't know whats wrong...
So I have to do a restore from xRecovery and get back to Android 2.1...
Then, I tried to install 2.2 (thinking that the 2.3 was the problem) and happened the same problem. Its really annoying, and I don't know what more to do... I tried using "Sony Ericsson PC Companion" and nothing happened.
People I hope you can help me, 2.1 really sucks...
Thanks

[Q] force close loop on boot

My problem is after i install miniCM when i restart the phone it is stuck in a force close loop. I can lock/unlock my phone but i can't do anything else even i can't go into xrecovery from then. I reinstalled the rom 3 times (i had to flash 2.1 with x10 flash tool and do the whole procedure again and i have the newest baseband, firmware and i selected reset after flashing) but i have the same problem. Someone help me PLS!

Did you do a full wipe?

yes, i did.

The problem may be overclocking. Try flashing the OC-kill package from miniCM thread and boot it again

i think not the overclocking is the problem. before i used 2.1 with overclock without any problems. and before that i used floyo without overclock, and once i had the same force close loop. that was the reason why i changed back to 2.1.
edit: i don't think you understood my first post. after i get this "force close loop" my phone is totally go wrong, from then i can't use it and can't go into xrecovery.
sorry for my english

Try x10 flashtool, and flash a new rom
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

yeah i did it 3 times. but how can i get miniCM working?

my friend got that boot loop too,, dont know wat wrongs,, even i flash with rom from my x8, i create new backup[that work fine on my x8-cyanogenShakira v3], still give boot loop,, when doing full wipe, and reset from xrecovery,, succes booting,, but enclair2.1 that show up..weird how could that happen..

format in xRecovery everything what you can format (dont format sd card, make backup of your contacts and app's to sd) format system, data, cache....everything and get back to 2.1 with SEUS, and root your phone again and xRecovery (You know how it goes) It would I do if I were you....

[Q] [HELP!!] X10 Alive, but Deadd??! :( no Recovery

Hey everyone,
I was stupid and wanted to try Jerpela's CM7.1 Rom with ClockWorkMod. After trying the ROM I wanted to switch back to my Rom, or WolfBreak's Rom. But I had ClockWorkMod recovery because that was what was needed for the Cm7 rom. So I tried flashing the zip xrecovery 0.3 from the thread made by zdzihu. CWM recovery said that it could not install it.
So I went and booted and tried installing the apk for xrecovery. On the app when I installed it i had 2 check marks and 1 blocked symbol. I thought recovery had been installed so I rebooted and could not enter recovery. The freeXperia logo did not appear. The Rom booted and now no wifi. And also the root system is not RW, even though i'm rooted.
But even with this I could just use flashtool and flash stock gingerbread. Unfortunately the usb port on my X10 is wobbly and I cannot get connection anymore.
I would not mind staying on this ROM for the life of my X10, but unfortunately Camera, WiFi... does not work
Can someone please help me?? I really want to finish releasing my ROM and really want to see how far the X10 would go with the new sources released.
Thanks, and please help me. I feel soo crappy.

Okay
Do u have a memory card reader ?
If not then buy one
Place your sdcard in it
And copy the ROM in it
And put it on ur phone to try it ...
Hope that helps

Arc Suggestion

Hey guys,
I have an xperia arc with the original 4.0.4 software. Well it work pretty ok except that that the widgets pages freeze after a few minutes (they dont refresh the clock is sat 15:30 but the clock widget is stuck at 13:03 (for example)). Also if I try to install adobe flash to watch some flv movies the whole phone goes wild .. also many mp4 movies that on 2.3 i was watching with no problems now I can't watch. Also my sd card it's "unavailable" via usb after that update...
I tried the repair option from pc companion that installs a new software and no changes. So i decided to try installing a custom software. But I don't know what to install (never installed a custom software on android before...tried to root the 2.3 once and got stuck in boot loop).
So any suggestion what I should install that works mostly ok and also an easy guide of how to install it ? (I'm also thinking about rooting)
Thank you,
CatalinG.

This sounds so annoying that I would flash another stock Rom.
Jjhibrid is the best option for stock.
You could also explore unlocking the BL for custom Fw.
In any affect I would flash a new Rom. Or look into cwm recovery
