[Q] what is the best ROM for X8 available now?

I'm lost in choosing a ROM for my new phone ,I wanna know what is the best and most completed ROM for X8

hy, i think, if you wanna replace the stock rom, choose racht's latest rom. For me, jerelpea's rom reboots after locking the screen every minunte, while, in use it doesnt.

i searched for racht's latest ROM it is 2.3.3 but i think it is not stable yet ,any other ideas

im using miniCM - RC1 and everything works perfect for me, so i'm satisfied

none of these roms are fully stable, if we are lucky the new libaudio will fix the most of the bugs. I usually use skype, and it doesnt work on any of these roms, so i wait for the fix.

+1 me too.

No way libaudio will fix reboot issues. They are totally unrelated. A custom kernel will though

sorry then. i read it in racht's thread, but it looks like libaudio is just causes skype crashes.

i think 2.2 ROM based is the most stable for daily use. i've installed the latest ROM for 2.3.3 and i restore back my 2.1 because lots of bug. too many reboots. the most stable ROM for me is :
Floyo 0.15
MiniCM for X8

thanks for replying guys , I have installed Floyo-0.15 and it was perfect but I found that it doesn't support Arabic keyboard ,
anyone have a solution for this problem before trying MiniCM or restoring to the 2.1 stock ROM ????

floyo n minicm are the best so far.
right now I'm on floyo with mod on system/app.
usually I try cm7 2.3 racht n jerpelea Saturday to Monday.

Most stable Custom ROM for X8 with fully working features ?

Hello,
i am sorry if this is Spam. Personally, i have a X10, my GF has a X8 running the Stock 2.1 ROM from SE. She is very unhappy with the Stock ROM, because it lags and so on.
Is there a custom rom with Android 2.1/2.2/2.3 which is stable, fast (faster than stock) and can use all features of the X8 (hw-camera e.g.)
Any recommendations ?

MiniCM has FM, Camera, Videocam... and it is stable
there is 2.3 roms too but they do not have FM and only VGA camera.

the same as above, i recommend using the latest miniCM, as its the most stable custom ROM right now, with most working features

I think BehradGH MTL Rom Series (based on 2.1.1) is good too

i´m using racht´s floyo 0,15 and its almost bugless.

minicm stable atm

floyo 0.15 hackdroid from ratch work,almost everything,less reboot after installed apps but after reboot its working nice
waiting for stable cm7 2.3.3 j's / ratch's

I had miniCM and now 2.3.3 v007 from jerpelea and I think 007 is more stable than miniCM but it has not so much features like fm radio and more working games.

Actually i think that the best 2.2 rom is minicm, but racht is working on 2.3 and it's promising..

Thanks for your recommandations. I'll give minicm a try
And i'll wait for rachts 2.3.3 or j's (running on my x10)

For now miniCM has most number of working things. Now I'm using it (I need fm and cam). But I hope soon Racht and Jerpelea will make full working 2.3.3 for us
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

In my opinion for now the most stable and with almost all fetures working is MiniCM

Hey folks. newbie here. Been an Android user for around three month, and after the news that S.E will not be updating the X8 beyond 2.1 i've decided to take the plunge and root. However I am on a pay monthly contract so my question is, is it safe to root and install a custom rom and still use my providers services eg: MMS, SMS, 3G. Probably a silly question but i'm new to all this..
Cheers folks

Hi, is miniCM this one?
I'm trying that one but I don't like the cyan colored icons in the status bar, better white or colored like the Floyo ones... there is a way to change icons or only the color?

you can choose other theme

i'd go with miniCM being stable, although at the moment im using j's 2.3.3 as i dont use fm radio and VGA camera is good enough for me

Same here with Racht's CM7-RC3... I replaced LP with ADW eventhough it's got less features... The screen seemed less responsive. Just seemed so... I also noticed battery drain in CM7 RC3 when I only had GPS on for a couple of mins. Battery kept on draining after that but i didnt try it again to be sure. Quite stable for me. I try to keep SU forgetting root apps and so avoiding crashes.

What's the best CM mod for HTC Wildfire?

Hello guys, I'm a newbie here... I just wanna ask, what's the best Cyanogen Mod for HTC Wildfire? I'm currently using CM 7.1.0 RC 1 but I got some problems like camera sound. The only thing to disable it is to set in silent mode... Thanks everyone

I think it's best to try latest stable version, latest RC(which you're using atm), and the latest nightlies.
And then start using the one you prefer.

Its down to preference, really. Im using the latest cm7 nightly and it runs pretty well other than a few force closes now and then (mainly with adw launcher, but i have modified a few performance settings).
If you want stability then keep with the stable or rc versions (although the nightlys have been pretty stable for a while - just a few minor bugs here and there) , if not then download the latest nightly after backing up your existing rom and see how it works for you.

I'm a total newbie myself but I use nightly 151 and that is really cool. It has the camera bug too, but besides that never encountered a problem so far. You can use Miui camera that has also a feature to turn off the camera sound so the bug won't appear. Also, there is a media setting in another thread here for you to flash and then your camera has a higher resolution. Works great.
Also, the newer nightlies than your 7.1 have the optimize ram/save battery life settings included. You should really flash a nightly, bro.

[Q] Best choice for custom ROM

Hi friends.
First, I want to praise this forum ... that is fantastic!
My question is about the currently ROMs for my milestone 2...
I want to flash my ML2 with another ROM, to get a better experience with the battery life...
What ROM is the better choice?
- Argen2Stone 2.7
- CM7
- TIM Retail 2.3.6
- MIUI 2
- Others.... ?
Thanks again guys!

I test all these roms, personally I prefer CM7 of Tezet + the update of Endless7
Lose the video recording at 720p, but it works great.!!

It depend on your version of MS2. I have problems with gps in cyanogen's rom, so i'am using ms2ginger 2.1. It's perfect, everything's working, but it have shorter battery life. My friend have older revision of MS2, he had serious problems with keyboard and multitouch, but Endless7 cm7 runs perfectly on his phone.

YES!
+1 for that rom .
It's pity, there's no Endless7's update for latest Tezet's CM7

Guys, I tried flash my phone with CM7 times ago....
I first flash the SO with "update-cm-7.1.0-DROID2WE-signed.zip"
After this I apply "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip"
All using Bootmenu.
But, the phone doesn't boot... the screen stay black and nothing happends....
After this, I recovery to 2.2 TIM RETAIL...
Can you post a link with a better tutorial for me?
Thanks!

May sound stupid, but allthough the milestone 2 and droid to appear to be the same phone, they are not the same phone.
Main difference is one is cdma (no sim - droid 2) and other is gsm (has a simcard - milestone2)
No method will ever get a droid 2 rom working on your milestone 2.
EDIT:
(moved to start of rant) If you have upgraded to the official gingerbread you can only use CM9, CM7(endless7), argen2stone. Just the ones with the GB kernel.
But as for other roms all roms, the choices are:
CM9: Not finished but quite stable now and a great look into ICS certainly work having a try of it. Uses GB kernel so no multitouch bug.
CM7 (tezet version): Stable, good, fast, has multitouch bug due to froyo kernel
CM7 (endless7 version/defy port): Not much difference from tezet version, but some added bells and whistles. Also uses the CH gingerbread kernel, so no multitouch bug and better touch response. I'd recommend this version personally, but it's all a matter of opinion. Also both versions show all market apps regardless of compatibility - can be handy if you wanna take advantage of a great sale knowing you can just use it when it is patched for your device or you upgrade. Or if you can tweak some stuff enough to trick it into working.
MIUI: Simply wonderful. Most stable one i have used. At first i hated the iphone likeness of it - but you can install a custom launcher if you wish. I got used to it though and ended up loving it once I tuned it to how i liked it - 1 screen with several folders and a clock widget the themes are great. It also uses the froyo kernel, so unfortunately has the multitouch bug. So i had to leave it
Argen2Stone: Pretty close to stock so if you liked the stock firmware but not it's slowness you will probably like this. Simply wasn't for me but for the time i used it, it was quite stable. Uses the CH gingerbread kernel though, so no multi touch bug here too . OH and is one of the few that has 720p video recording working I think.
I can't really remember ms2ginger and i have never tried blurless, so I won't comment on them.
Moral of the story, you can count the amount of roms we have available on you hand so why not get them all, and try them 1 day at a time?
They are all great roms and far better than stock was, so you can't really go wrong. No one here can possibly tell you what you like so you will just have to test them yourself soon enough and find out

+1 me too great works of tezet and endless7

ive used Argen2Stone 2.7 ..its a really good rom.
now im using CM9 by tezet.

My vote goes for tezet's CM7, because I like more that clean CM7 than endless' mod.

i think CM7 of Tezet is the best.

I'm voting for MIUI - but I understand if someone don't like it due to it's quite bad touch responsiveness.

I want to shar my experience with you. I used all the rom you listed except "tim retail 2.3.6".
I'm now using A2S and UK 2.3.4 kernel. It has the perfect experience whatever daily use or game playing. But it has the shorter battery life(the same as cm7 or may be a little longer).
I often got reboot when i using cm7 especially when i entering games.
MIUI has the different style from other android roms. It also based on cm kernel, if you are boring with the original android UI ,you may try this rom. But this rom has the shortest battery life even less than CM7, and has the slow reflex when you have incall.
Sorry for my terrible English.

CM7 for me.. even if it doesn't have 720p recording it is battery friendly.. i like argen2stone but the only thing i dont like on this rom is blur UI.. they should have remove the UI because it eats too much ram >.<

Thanks in advance for feedback.

No, you have NOT found the 'best ROM'. There is no best ROM. All of the ROMs available are stable, some have certain issues. Try them out and see for yourself, it's a subjective question. Your definition of stable is different from others' definitions. If a standard CM7 ROM isn't 'stable' then I don't know what is.

thats beacause i wrote "best" in quotes
i know that

What camera/video issues?

The camera app freezes and the video app just shows colored lines.

And where did you get that from? None of the ROMs I've tried have had those issues, except for the Alpha ICS ROMs ported from the Android SDK.

Tytung's NexusHD2 ICS rom is very stable for me.
