[Q] Stock Rom or GDX 21? - XPERIA X8 General

Hey there ppl! Merry Christmas btw!
I've been using gingerdx pretty much since its first release, and i really like it, but im starting to think that my phone is quite slow for launching apps, or when someone calls me, the phone starts to vibrate and like 5secs later the call screen appears, and when i want to slide the green mark its kinda laggy.
And i started to think that maybe the stock rom wasnt that slow and laggy as gingerdx is resulting to me...
So, as i used the stock rom for less than 4 days, then i started with froyo, and so on, i want to know if its smooter and faster than gdx, because im finding it quite slow lately...
Also, if the stock rom is like ****, i would like to know any other rom that you are using and you think that is smooth and fast, so i can give it a try, or maybe some advaices to make my phone faster!
Goodbye! Thanks in advance!

its a gb rom,but for me its really fast and i found no lags in it

Well, I can tell you my experience. I had been using GDX for a long time and I saw that multitasking wasn't something to brag of, you now. Music was stopping, web pages reloading and so on. Then I went back on stock. It isn't as bad as the majority of people say it is but still...after one week it started to p*ss me off. After that I installed FroyoBread which I'm currently on and I'm pretty satisfied. You should yry Froyo
Sent from my X8 that is soon going to be replaced with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/S II

No so long ago, i went back from gingerbread to froyobread, and still it wasnt THAT better than gingerbread, thats why i was asking primary for the stock rom, because i thought that sony would develop something properly for the phone's capacity...
Ill give a try to dx froyobread one more time.
Goodbye!

Try the new froyopro..

hmm gingercruzt 8.5 on nAa 08 kernel is very fast i m using it at the moment and its great

Which froyo rom should i try? i already used froyobread from dx a long time ago... Is there another? better or worse?
Goodbye!

Currently using stock rom.. i have no problems all my apps run smooth, battery ok. Im not a gamer on phone cause i feel upgrading only needed if i play games...

Im not planning to play games further than fruit slice and angry birds, thats all... All i want is a smooth and fast loading phone, is that the best for stock rom?

Then you should Try 2.2 rom "FROYOPRO" But you have to modify it according to your needs like installing modules and google applications.
And for faster boot you have to change the bootanimation.zip with a lite one.

Best current 2.1 ROM for G1?

Is there a working 2.1 ROM for the G1 which has Live Wallpapers with minimal battery drain and also something close to running at a fast speed with GPS/camera/maps/streetview etc all working?
At the moment I'm using SuperEclair V8.2 by XxKOLOHExX and it's fine and all, but the system slows down to the point of becoming near unusable when Live Wallpapers are on - not to mention the huge battery drain. Are there any ROMs which have such issues corrected?
Thanks in advance~
I'm using superD 1.6. I would change to 2.1 if there was something as fast as 1.6. I have yet to see an eclair rom to match the speed of donut.
It's been a while since I've used a 2.1 rom, but when I did, I didnt notice any battery loss from the live wallpapers. From what I know, live wallpapers doesn't even run when your phone is off/sleeping. LWP's turn back on when your phone comes back on, so it's not constantly running.
edit: That didnt really answer your question =)

Hmm yeah that's true - I don't mind if it's not as fast as donut, just as long as it's not really really slow. The 2.1 ROM I was using had great features but it was just too laggy for me.

+1 for Open Eclair. I used it for my everyday rom for months with no problems. Recently switched back to SuperD out of boredom though.
Ohhh, cool. Looks like Open Eclair is the best way to go. Thanks!
latest open eclair or kingklick's ASOP 2.1 v1.9
Cannon 1.2 with 3d patch 2.0 is fully of fc.
SuperEclair v2.4 or v3.0 I suggest v2.4 with Extended Pack.
Kolehe beta 3.0 Rom. I bet theres no Eclair rom faster. flash and see for yourself. But no LWP's though. And you shouldnt be asking for a fast eclair that has minimal battery drain and complain about something slowing down and your using LWP's.
OpenEclair 1.3.0.1 is very feature-complete, stable and the "no 3D" version is fast enough for daily use. The 3D version though is slow. I've missed several phone calls because it takes that long for the phone to wake up and show caller ID.
The OpenEclair devs are promising improvements on that front in the upcoming 2.0 version, so I'd try that out when it becomes available.

is there anything that does not work yet in OpenEclair, such as video capture, camera, SMS, etc?
I have an original MT3G (using Cyanogen right now) if that makes any difference.
Sorry because of the extremely late reply man :S but...
I think you DEFINITELY have to try this ROM if you wanna know what's speed and reliability. It's based off the official aosp ota for the mt3g (my touch 3g) and tweaked out to run flawlessly on the G1

HI!
Awesome!!! I'm thinking about change phone because it's too laggy but this ROM makes all the diference! Thanks for the suggestion.
Now i only have two questions because i had Cyanogenmod and it has Power Control in the status bar like the samsung galaxy i think and i can also change the number of lines and collumns my desktop has, and chage the weight of the widgets.
Anyone knows what can i do to make that things work in this version?
THANKS!!!

I can't wait for someone to reply to this thread in six months time and be all 'Dude, you gotta check out this honeycomb ROM, it runs amazing on the G1!!' and everyone else will be all 'lulwut?'.
Have had Super-E, but changed to BiffMod.
BiffMod is faster on my G1.
Greetings
Braaaaiiiiiings.... mmmmm... BRAIIIINS!!!
The one I have now is blazing fast, I use from cm4 to cm6 and this thing maybe best so far I have use, no fc and bs since I got it, fancy looks but still maintain good speed. But not sure about juice, my battery is extended one like 3.7 VDC 3000m monster battery so it still last me good 10hr+ even everything is on......
Waiting for good sense mod. ;-)

TripNArc Port Laggy?

I don't know if I am the only one with this problem.
The ROM flies, but the settings menu, messaging, and phonebook scrolling is all reallllly laggy, as is the window animations and transitions.
I understand GB has a 30FPS limit, but this is different, this goes at 5FPS.
That said, apps load fast and the launcher is extremely speedy, but the scrolling in the settings menu and the animations are really laggy.
I let the phone settle for 2 days and it's still the same. I don't know if this is only me but is there any fix to this?
I've reflashed this a few times, done clean installs from SEUS, same problem. Thanks!
Same problem here. Haven't been able to fix it so can't offer you any advice.
Known bug experienced by a few... wait for a major update from trip, he usually keeps them fast.

same here......on version 0.5 i went to kernel10....best experience ever! if you look up lukesjeans on youtube you can see my videos i made of it on K10. Once i went to 0.9 it was slow again. It will be fixed. Trips ROMS are always fast in my opinion.
Yeah 0.9 is slow .. Especially Scrolling in Facebook or XDA .. Top down scrolling is slow
But the TimeScape widget scrolling is smooth though but still not perfect ..
Gonna Try K010 now ..
For some reason it won't even work on mine.. i keep getting Wlod's or bootloops.
Tried several base bands and patches.
It's a no go..

Yeah i did a clean flash.
The first time i flashed, it ran fine then after 2mins it had a Wlod and went into a boot loop.
From there on it would not work again.
:for some reason only BB54 & 58 works properly on my phone.
Surprisingly all roms from TripNRaVeR are laggy on my Device (Miui, Arc). Other users had a much better experience.
Maybe it is device related, but it dont know.

Yeah same...I just tried J'S 2.3.3 ROM with K010 installed and it's amazing! Extremely smooth!
Can't say the same about Trip's though...I really want a fix because tbh I like trip's ROMS better but its just too laggy for me
Don't forget to consider these:
-The rom needs to settle down
-Its still in beta stage
-It still has many se crap apps
-As Trip said its not fully optimized for now
-Maybe u aren't using a costume karnel which makes the Rom so smooth
-Trust devs

Should be called tripnlag
When the FPS cap will be removed by using a Custom Kernel everything will be okay.
Was laggy for first few hours but now smooth as babys bum
Also i removed all junk apps like ts and stuff

Sometimes it's not the rom but the baseband that makes it laggy.
On WB3.16 BB54,49 or 52 everything works but i have these mini lags.
But using BB58 it all becomes smooth and fast.
Sometimes the rom is just crap.
I just wan't that bravia engine running on the hardware with WB's rom.
Hmmmmm... that would be epic.

[Q] Bad question: which ROM to flash?

I feel embarrassed to have to ask this, and I know a lot of people hate this type of post. I want a suggestion for what custom ROM to flash.
I started flashing about 5 months ago with Darky's ROM. And now I like my phone. ( I won't say love, because I love my parents, my children, StarTrek, BSG, hot girls, and icecream and that's it). BUT, the more I flash, the more I get annoyed with the gliches. Darky's 10.1 didn't have working GTalk (w/ Camera), and sometimes has some bugs. I lately flashed Ruyyo EDB1.1 (JVP ROM), but sometimes the phone restarts or crashes, and every 3 days or so, SOMETHING runs down the battery (meaning, the phone over-heats, acts slow, and loses all battery in 5 hours). That might be because of an app, but I think its on the rom. The main apps I use are HandcentSMS, ADW-Ex, and Multi-picture live wall paper. And Gmail (which is FCing every time I restart the phone)
Now there are so many ROMs out, I don't know which one to get. All say they are stable and fast...and I'm sure for many people they are. But I am searching for suggestins. I cannot try out many because I live in China, and because of the damn stupid retarded Great Firewall of China, all downloads of ROMs from Multi-upload are slow (and I need special software to access that site).
So...I'm looking for a ROM which is really stable, which I do not need to do a wipe-flash with and can install with CWM. I would prefer that it use the same lag-fix solution as the Darky ROM so that I can go back to it when they update ...but as I don't every actually activate the lag-fix, probably does not matter.
I'm looking for a ROM which must have voodoo sound (the ability to use my phone with my own AKG earphones without having to unplug said earphones when I answer a call is what convinced me to keep the SGS instead of getting an iPhone4... so this is critical)
I need my ROM to support live wallpapers, so that I can use my LCARS wallpaper with multi-pic.
I prefer my ROM to support the Samsung Music player with the integrated lock-screen widget.
I really prefer ROM which has the front-camera fixed and google-talk operating.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sounds very much like what I am looking for also. I am on Darky at the moment as well. I just want a good, fresh and 100% stable ROM.
- I need root
- Lagfix would be nice
- Needs to be able to work well with Launcher Pro Plus
- Good battery life
- BLN essential
We all need roms that are stable, fast, and with a good battery life... I think I've tried all main SGS roms, but at the end I think I'll stick with MIUI.
I liked Darky's rom, but I've got too many force-closes... maybe it was my fault because I didn't flash it correctly.
But for a month or so I've used MIUI... it's the fastest rom... You've got tons of lockscreens.. including samsung's (I think). Battery life it's not the best, but the devs are really working on making this rom perfect. For example.. for Galnet... this week 2 updates came out, and we're waiting for a big one friday.
My advice: give MIUI a try and you won't be disapointed

There are three reasons why I did not try MIUI. BUT, my reasons may be flawed.
1. In my understanding, MIUI is based on Cryogen (or something like that), which requires that I flash (wipe-flash?) a Froyo ROM first. Which means that I have to download two huge files through the Great FireWall of China. I know that's a lame reason...but that's a fair amount of work for me. Not to mention reloading all my apps.
2. In my understanding, CM (and hence MIUI) does not have the Voodoo sound and does not have the Samsung Music app. The music app is not so big a deal because (in my understanding), CM and MIUI have their own in-notification-bar music controls (which is why I like the Samsung music app). However, I need Voodoo sound in order to allow use of my own headphone while talking on the telephone.
3. In my understanding, MIUI is supposed to look like iOS, which I do not like.
Please let me know if my understandings are wrong.
I also didn't try it because I don't want to flash an updated version twice a week. I want a good working ROM from the start with no need to update until the next Android version comes out.
I am oso on darky's rom previously but having same issue. Then tried Tweaky's rom and Juwe's rom too. Juwe's rom is fast but its bit dull colored and lack of sgs2 apps like Tweaky's rom.Now I am using my own rom base on JVP with Talon kernel with OC, actually it's a mix and match of Tweaky n Juwe's rom. Everything is working so far with some sgs2 apps, tw4, gtalk with video call.Flash n wipe is a must for a start. If u r interested I can post a link for u.

best looking rom, fast and reliable its galnet mui. Battery life it;s not great yet but galnet its working hard to fix.
i think that after flashing couple of roms you will decide.

Why factory reset? Why not just do no-wipe flash with CWM?
Part of my problem is that there are a lot of ROMs, and if I'm wiping everytime I do a new ROM, its takes quite a while to restore to full functionality...albiet the end result may be more stable.

So you are saying that you had better battery life with others, and MIUI sometimes gets stuck, but you like MIUI because its faster for games and themes? That's not really what I need (although I do like the notification options I saw on it has). I am more not into this because I'm not into having to Flash back to Froyo in order to install.

Hearing this, I'm tempted to bite the bullet and go through the CM7 install proceedure. I then will have to upload the google apps and the new google talk. But the end result may be pretty cool (assuming does not drain battery more than other ROMs). Thanks for the info.
MIUI rom doesnt stuck and restarts as your think. Battery life is not horrible. You can control your headset in miui with different module like voodoo sound. I think thats the best rom to stick now. You can get air updates and you dont need to wipe your data for updates. Just give it a try. I guess you will like it.

Thank you. I don't think it gets stuck. Its just that you said in previous post "Sometimes it stucks and restarts." I may try this out. I think I'm going to wait and see what this JVQ-based ROM is like before I do any ROM which requires a wipe.
Slightly off-topic...About my phone...I'm not sure, but I think sometimes the heavy battery drain and restarts are caused by Handcent SMS. I downloaded an app called "OSMonitor" It showed that sometimes Android System is continuously using 40% of CPU, and at those times, Handcent is using 50% of CPU. I guess I should delete Handcent and see if my phone gets better stability and performance. Seems maybe the stability problems were might be blamed in the wrong place. BUT...I really like Handcent...
I'm in a similar situation and decided the only way to get what I want is to put it together myself. This also means you probably wont have the latest and greatest because they might be cool but not always the most stable.
What you can do is, get a deodexed stock rom, install a stable kernel with the mods you need (voodoo, bln, rooted and busybox etc) than use Titanium backup to remove all the things you don't want. presto, you'll have what you wanted...
I think the best option is CM7.
Greetings.
I have CM7 and must re-charge every 8h... Moderate use. Are other ROMs better battery-wise?

i thought i saw in the settings that you could change that but its not been a problem for me never restarted at mo fingers crossed
GingerXperia: I liked, but... I dunno, never really felt comfortable with it
MiniCM: was my first GB, and I loved it, but lack of updates made me move to........
Kuyadroid: now we're talking about a nice AND good rom, from the boot screen you'll notice it's pure quality, and yesterday we had an update, which I am really enjoying, very good one!!
Gingercruzt: Just when I thought I had find the best rom, i read a lot of good comments about this one that I had to give it a try , and boy, was I amazed!, fast, stable, the only really annoying bug for me was the "autobrightness", gladly it includes (mmm can't remember the name) an ultra brightness option, which saved my days (at the cost of a little extra battery, which really wasn't a problem, since battery last very long)
So, due to the new update I'm back to Kuyadroid (perhaps until a new GingerCruzt version, which seems unlikely)

Recommend me a ROM

Hi, I am searching a good ROM for my girlfriend´s X10i. I have tried many but always I have been having problems. I´m on LOCKED BOOTLOADER
- First, I installed Feralab v20 for LB. But I suffered for random reboots and some slowdowns.
- Second, I tried JAF rom, but, like with v20, I suffered random reboots. I think my phone doesn´t like Ferakernel...
- Third, I tried X10S v8.3, first with stock SE kernel, and I had battery drain problems, then I switch to Doomkernel without overclock for LB, and I also suffered battery drainage problems.
- Forth, I tried stock SE 2.3.3, with bravia, sound stutter and FPS Unlock, and it gives me an error when trying to activate WIFI :crying:
- Now, I am with DiXperia v8 Extraordinary, Stock Version, but sometimes my phone is in the PIN access screen, like it has been rebooted.
So, I am not asking for something special, I only want something like offcial SE 2.3.3 rom, with basic functionality, but not as slow and laggy as that...
Can you help me please?

Yes, well there is a new stock based rom that was just recently released by a new guy that is supposed to very fast and stable, I just can't seem to find the particular link. Very similar to Achotjans Stock Replacement rom as I recall. Oh well, I don't know where it went. It was creating quite a bit of news around these parts. In all seriousness though, if you've tried 5 roms and aren't satisfied then bite the bullet and unlock the bloody thing and load Mokee KickAss v0.4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686110 It is CM7 based and should satisfy you and your Girlfriend. Very Fast. Very Stable. Look for the Soft Buttons zip in the thread and have soft buttons and a functional camera without the crashes of CM9.

I like Vasishta's ICS one... but for gingerbread I used the JoyOS1.2.2 Port (kinda like Iphone but a wonderful battery life: 2 days with standard battery 1500mah)
I think I have found the appropiate ROM. X10S V9!! At the moment, I haven´t had any reboots, or battery draining issues, like I had with X10S 8.3
what about Achotjan Stock Replacement rom? have you tried it?
I'm thinking about change my girlfriend's X10 as well. Locked bootloader too. But if i choose a problematic rom (reboots, battery drain) she will kill me.
If you want stock feel, super fast and for lockedbL and with no problems I personally suggest this one. after install go back and scroll down in the first tread and download one of the other homescreens if you don't like the one that comes with it(I don't practically do but you may)

DonutHD was my choice. just had to take her old media folder for the notifications+alarms that she uses but doesn't even know their names.

I keep a backup of Donut 2.2.8 to load if I need to use zoom or macro. It is a very good rom. Attached is the Donut zip to flash in recovery for all of the various sounds.
