Hello everyone.In this thread I will write down reviews for some of the best ROMs for Xperia X8.ATM I tested just 3 ROMs and I will review each of them , but I will test more and review them right here for you
To find a ROM in my review list press CTRL + F in the same time and write the ROMs name​

FDE +4 - Final Verison​
In this morning I was looking for a custom ROM for my new Xperia X8 when I found this.I was amazed by it's Xperia look.I also read some comments from guys who already tested it and I wanted it tok.I installed it trough CWM and I excepted poor performance because all of us know that stock kernel isn't that good (yes , I use stock kernel because I have my phone sim-locked and I don't want to break it's radio). I instantly loved the bootanimation which is simple but cool and after the boot , I was truly amazed.This ROM is very smooth and clean.I haven't got any lag until now and battery seems to be OK.Also I have installed some games to test it's performance.I tested both , 2D and 3D games to see how it's working and it worked like a charm.The performance in 2D is amazing and in 3D some games still need Chainfire3D to work properly.I overclocked it at 690mhz and it's very good.I also like the idea of including theme chooser.I downloaded Xperia Arc theme from Google Play (which is also included) and applied it.It's working perfect.The clock is by default on the center of status bar and it's nicely covered by date when you pull the bar down.This is my first review and hope you liked it.Below you can see some stats to have the same performance or maybe better with a new kernel.
Phone specs:
Stock Kernel
Baseband 015
CPU 691mhz - 122mhz
Grades:
Performance : 9
Design : 7 because the ugly icons
Battery life : 8 which is pretty good
Installation : 10 very easy

Nice. I also review ROMs. If you would like to team up, we can create better reviews for the public. Just an idea. Also, I think if you used standard English and not slang your review might be more professional. And maybe some structure? But great overall.

No offense, but I think you shouldn't be judging which are the best ROMs for our device. Each user has it's own best ROM based on their experience.
In my opinion, you should review the current most popular ROMs for the X8.

Oh my the OP is just trying to make a review based in his/her opinion and you guys bombarded him with this and that JUST BECAUSE OF HIS TITLE? Sad to say but this is what Ive noticed. When new people comes and and post ideas and reviews or do something useful although it already exist, you always bombard them with negative feedback's like that thread exist that is not useful blah blah blah. Whats wrong with you guys? You say for a fact that everyone has its own best rom, then the OP has his own so his review never existed.
I think what we need to do here is guide noobs rather than posting degrading and disappointing words. If you dont feel like helping then dont but please refrain from posting such things. I wonder if people do the same actions to you. sighs..

Please stay on topic guys! Further trolling won't be tolerated!
@OP: I suggest you to change the title/body of your thread a bit to give it a more personal touch.
Maybe this will keep the trolls away
Thread cleaned.

In 2 yerars of 'rominstalling' on X8 I think GingerDX v031b and the latest Alfs (08a) Kernel is the best of all. The phone is quick, can work very stable on 748MHz.

Not all cpu's are capable of 1800 mhz and that 800mhz GPU power,be aware,guys.
Btw,still,great work.

still stuck on Dalvik ART needs to be AOSP rom
btw, my s3 only capable on max 1.7GHz, so default max is 1.4GHz. Higher Clock speed can be set through the kernel app pre installed

The first stable build for FlashingDroid_S5 is now available for download!

I not yet rooted phone i have 1 year warranty
But seems this stock is very bad....Never again samsung phone

It's because of DVFS bug in all 5.0.1 builds.. You have 3 options to fix it;
1) Downgrade to Kitkat
2) Install a kernel (i'd prefer googy)
3) Wait for official 5.1.1 which is high probably gonna fix it.

I get 52800 on my Snapdragon, it's good enough, so I couldn't be bothered about what you believe is better, but at least now I know why the Note 4 forum has been so peaceful.

It's getting in bug randomly. Especially when phone is hot for long time etc.
btw, Exynos 5433 is already more powerfull than Snapdragon 805. But as title clearly states this is not an comparion thread.

[Opinion][Guide][Tweaks] My experience with android nought in Moto G 2014 (Ressurecti

Hello guys.. So i have been using moto g 2014 model for a couple of months now and i have been absolutely liking this phone.. Here is my experience with different roms.. I have tried different roms like cyanogemod 13 and dirty unicorns etc in the marshmallow side and when lineage os 14.1 came out i just switched to it.. It was an awesome rom but i was missing a lot of features that i was getting through xposed and all.. So i started thinking of changing the rom.. And after a couple of hours of research i decided to go with Ressurection remix.. I was very happy with the performance and the battery backup of the rom and then i thought of custom kernel and flashed the deciphier kernel and is working absolutely fantastic with this rom.. The kernel helped me tune the phone the way i wanted and also improoved the performance as well as the battery backup.. I also made a small swap file in so that i can get a little bit more performance out of the phone.. I use Roehsoft ram expander and is working great.. Then also i have installed Substratum and also a theme named art.. Its also working fine for me.. The phone is working absolutely fantastic and without any major bugs... Though, feel free to tell me your suggestions about other roms and kernels as am interested in checking other roms and kernels.. Thankss..

If you can't use magisk
Try other init.d enabling methods google or search in xda maybe you find someway that works for you

As long as you have a working init.d it should on any rom
If I'm not wrong some LOS has working init.d by default at least RR does (which I tried)
Best way to know is to test it your self ( use the file I included in notes section )

It says in the OP it's specifically for the Z5C. Your device is different and not supported, thus everything you do is on your own. You can try and flash it and see whether it makes a difference, however if something does not go as planned do not expect any support.

Flashing is the process of installing through recovery. Root is only an issue where it's a requirement, else it's irrelevant. The process is the same.

does this do anything with LineageOS? Is it worth using this?

Does this work on E5803 with Stock ROM 7.1.1?

Did any one try this on remix ROM...?

Better than I expected.
I unlocked BL just for this, and now I'm very satisfied.
Z5c is not mainly used device of mine, I have used it for running game overnight for 10 months.
Everyday Z5C got seriously hot, and battery suffered swelling twice after I started to run game overnight.
Of course, throttling made gaming experience so bad.
But using FSC, I feel a real difference. When running the game, Z5C is far less hot, and performance is quite stable.
Now I'm considering using Z5C as a main mobile!
