[Q] Installing new rom - XPERIA X8 General

hi dev and members, new here to this community, like every x8 frustrated user i too had a lot of doubts in mind before installing a custom rom, but lastly my frustration took over me, i wasn't being much greedy so i tried off with froyobread v0.25, i dont knw how i did it,but i rooted with superoneclick,installed xrecovery and installed froyobread, frankly i was much satisfied with it,quite smooth with everything working like market,camera,video rec,but the only thing dat irks me is the battery life,i feel the battery life is a lil poor,everything i do on my phone eats up my battery life. and again i saw a thread bout froyobread pro? what i wanna know is, is it stable with no bugs like froyobread v0.25? and i already hav stock 2.1 backed up on my sdcard and using froyobread currently. so my query is if i wanna install froyobread pro what do i hav to do ? shud i jus download and copy to my xrecovery folder and restore the rom from xrecovery menu or do i hav to start all over again. and do i hav to clear up the current rom before i switch to another rom? waiting for dev's and members to help out... ciaoooo....

Ok first of all, did you clear the battery stats after you install the rom?
...Wait, v25?

hi, wipe battery stats? is dat on the xrecovery menu? what's dat for ? and yea froyobread v0.25, dnt knw cos on the lockscreen it shows dat and on about phone its floyo by racht?

yea this the one :

No difference.

aurite,sorry for coming up with so much of questions,but i jus needed to be sure before i do anything
what basically will full wipe do after i install a new rom or u cud say what is it for? cos if i install new rom again,will it overwipe itself the current roms files in the system?

I'm not sure myself. Lol.
Well.. there's a reason why the rom developer tell us to full wipe.

Lol,ur not sure too? Hmm gotta wait for sum1 to clear bout it
And yea now my new rom had to show signs of sickness, i was jus scrolling thru forums all of a sudden the screen went timeout,so i just slightly pressed my home button to screen on, but it didnt i tried again until i had to remove the battery...wow

First, titanium backup.. second, SMS Backup Restore.. third, xrecovery backup and full wipe..fourth, GingerCruzt 8.1, GingerDX v019, Kuyadroid v3.2.175, shpit's xgin 5.0, GingerXperia v13 pick any of these...cheer and don 4get to install fixes for the rom

xrecvry backup for wot? and wat shud i full wipe,the previous rom am using before i install another u mean? well i dnt worry bout backingup anything besides my stock rom which i already did on my xrecry

maybe because to reset the system settings and other configurations so you need to do full wipe first . . i did upgrade from 2.1 to FroyoBread without full wipe but my phone is stuck in SE Logo but when i full wipe it goes on and back to normal . . .

I tried out v6.13 yesterday but cudn't restore my contacts as it kept saying to sign into google. And when I'd try to sign in from accounts, the sign-in button wudnt work. If there's any fix then plz let me knw.
Also, wot kernel shud I use with v6.13 ?
What is Snap v7.6 Kernel ? I've read that it's just meant for Cyanogen. Shud I use it ?
Is installing CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC0 safe ? If so then is it safe to also install Snap v7.6 kernel on it ? And if it's safe then will it have a +ve effect or a -ve effect ? I've read that it's got sumthing like TURBO & it really speeds up ur smartphone ! Plz help...
I installed one of the Buzz kernels so I cud OC my DHD... After that I installed LeeDroid after doing a Full Wipe of my DHD. Will the full wipe also wipeout the installed kernel ?
What if I install a radio & then do a FULL wipe to install another ROM... Will that radio also b wiped ?

Well i have been running it for ten days and am still alive, or did you mean something else by safe? Why are you obsessed with putting different kernels on something you don't know how it runs at present?

Each rom comes with it's own kernel, so if you flash a new rom you will have a new kernel

[Q] Custom ROM-s

What custom ROM would you guys recommend? That it has to be stable and fast goes without saying
Thnx in advance
I've tried Racht's ones.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Currently I'm under Floyo (2.2.1) because there is app2sd working in this ROM but I think 2.3.2 CM HackDroid ROM is also a good ROM (I was using this before).
For the moment, I recommend you Floyo.
Both of them make your phone twice faster.
There still are some small bugs (as 3.5 jack or some sensors don't work) but these ROM still are in dev.
So be patient and in the future they will be better and better thanks to Racht's work =)
But be careful when you flash your device.
Be aware of the dangers and think to make a backup of your initial ROM before.
thnx, i'll give it a try. I'm aware of all the problems with custom roms. I was just wondering what the most stable rom was atm

Yes you loose all your apps and jit will be still enabled. Download floyo v0.10. First create in xrecovery backup of your current rom. Then extract floyo to sdcard /xrecovery/backup and reboot to xrecovery. in xrecovery do full wipe and then choose Backup and restore -> Restore -> floyo/ -> Yes and reboot phone

Racht's 2.2 I think is the best you can get for the X8. I was really afraid to install it, because I thought it would be buggy, but I was very surprised when I tried it. It's fast, stable and much better than 2.1.

I flashed stock battery from cwm and this came up. The only way I know to fix this is to flash ROM again but when i try to flash stock battery the same thing happens.

This doesnt fix the problem about the stock battery though. I'm right back stuck to either having no battery icon or having this battery icon app that I don't want.

What rom do you have? the problem seems to be that the rom system ui is not compatible with the battery mod you are trying to flash

mate ,
the only thing you have to do to get the stock battery instead of the OG battery mod go to Omega files free or Pro / omega v22/ mods / battery mod / stock battery
Download , go to recovery clear dalvik , cache and flash it should work

Thanks I'll do that.
Do you know why Root Explorer crashes upon launching? I can't use it and I need it to fix the screen rotation problem.
Sorry to change the subject like that I just don't know if I should make a whole other thread about it.
Nevermind it's working now. Thanks for your help man!
