What do you think is the best WM6.5 ROM out there? - Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development

Hi, What do you think is the best WM6.5 ROM out there? But have got some conditions
-Use less RAM
-Runs Sense UI
-User Customizable
-Stock look
-Good battery life
-Stable
-Fast
That is about all i wanted i've seen a lot of ROM out there but can't decide what to use probably someone can give some suggestions. Thanks

I'm using TAEL sense edition, it's quite good, just a little bug, fast, stable, but not too good in battery life (radio ver.1.14)

I already try Energy Rom and TAEL Rom with sense 2.5
Both have good performance and battery life.
However Energy Rom still have a problem with message.
I suggest you to use TAEL rom - last release 14 January - I use Tachi dialer which less bug. Try this - you will love this rom
According to TAEL, he will release new rom in February.

The best ROM is subjective and a personal opinion..
The best thing you can do is look @ popular threads and see what's peoples opinions, then flash, flash, flash till you find the ROM your happy to use for everyday purpose.
Just as we do with all best ROM threads, thread closed.

Pros : Still considered the most stable Rom, Fast and Smooth Performance, Good app Performance, android 2.2 has greater app support, most features work without any problems, little or no bugs, one of the most famous rom so if you have any problem lot of people out there to help you
Cons: Android 2.2 has become old many people prefer Android 2.3 over it. Not as Smooth as gdx when it comes to scrooling, according to some people Wifi does not work(it worked for me though)
#2.Hackdroid: A decent rom, flashy and stylish, sometimes laggy. but overall a very good room. great for starters, however many people stated this one to be a little unstable , but it really depends on what apps you run if you are looking for a good looking rom with visual features this one is a pretty good choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Pros: Very Customizable, Decent Performance, Stable if you stick to normal apps, Has more features than most Roms
Cons: A little Laggy, Sometimes Unstable, Many people have Reported bugs in this rom. Other Roms Offer Superior Performance
#3.KuyaDroid: This one is an awesome rom, solid and stable, fast performance smooth menu and everything is decent. Its a good rom if your into gaming as it has built in Overclock, Undervolt, and gesture.(note these features can be manually added on other roms too). One more noticable thing about this rom is that it's core is cm7, and android version 2.3( a big update from the stock 2.1)

Pros: Very fast app performance, Smooth Scrooling, Android 2.3, Wide Range of Users so you will easily find solutions if you face any problems, Overall Solid CM7 Rom.
Cons: Lacks Features that are available on Gingerdx, Some Reported Bugs, some apps force closes
#4.GingerDX: This is A cm6 - cm7 update of the Famous Froyobread, So far its fast and stable although a few bugs have been reported but its one of the most stable and working cm7 , android 2.3 roms around. its definitely worth a try if you want a fast and smooth working rom. also it has some pretty good features more than most roms out there to exact. Many people state this is the best Cm7 rom out there
Pros: One of the Smoothest CM7 Rom i have used, Full of features, Customizable, Most apps work without any problem, Regularly Updater, Wide range of users so you will easily find solutions if you do face any problem, Upgraded Camera
Cons: People claim it to be stable but not fast(A custom kernel helps in that case), Some minor bugs still needs to be fixed, Some features and still needs to be more polished and stable, updates have recently slowed down
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
#5.BehradGH: this one is a light and simple rom, not a bad choice for newbies but it does not have as much customizable features as the other roms, its a good rom for starters,, so if your looking for a simple rom and an upgrade from your stock rom you should try this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955467
Pros: Light Rom, Good for Average Daily apps, Simple rom without complications. Simple Upgrade from the Stock Rom
Cons: Powerful Games Such As Nova, MC Sandstorm often Force closes, Some Reported Bugs, A little unstable while Performing Certain Operations
#6.GingerCruzt: Just tested this Rom Recently , And boy was i surprised , good performance and good looks, which is something very hard to get in one rom. in some cases better than GDX, but not as stable when running apps, but for normal daily use this one beats most of the roms out there. also it has a very similar look to the stock android. so if your into stock looks, try this out. also its android 2.3 /Cm7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101691
Pros: New and fresh, Decent Performance and Features, Not bad for daily use, most apps work without problem, Android 2.3. the new look is unique(gc 8.1 and after)
Cons: The Creator of the Rom is not really Co operative since he is not really active on XDA, Minor bugs, Is not updated as regularly as other Roms, Lacks advanced Features that available on other Cm7 Roms
#7.Krauser-SROM: Recently Tested this Rom, this uses a lot of Froyobreads Features, Its fast and stable , not a bad choice if you want try something other than those famous roms, i found it to be really decent rom. Not bad for daily normal usage
Pros: Simple Lightweight Rom, Most apps work, Stable and Smooth
Cons: Some FC on apps, Community of its users is not as big as Froyobread, Android 2.2, Doesn't have much features as some of the other roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184735
#8.GingerXperia: This rom is pretty good, and i actually find it to be even faster than gdx,Yes it lacks the features which gdx offers but if you can make do without those advanced features this is the rom for you, its also reported to be stable and smooth , its not bugfree though but hopefully it will be fixed on future updates
Pros: Very fast, Simple Rom, Light weight, Good app performance, Stable Rom,
Cons: Lacks some Features, some bugs, New so the community is still small, got worse with recent updates,the rom's creator used a lot of contents from other roms without taking permission from them(The issue seems to be resolved after V017)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373679

Pros:Fast,Stock look, Stock apps, good app performance, Smooth scrooling,
Cons: The contacts app is very slow, The music player lacks features, Some 3d games FC, the new updates boasted looks but slowed down performance

#10.Stornmix: This is a very recent rom, It has the looks. The framework is beautiful, However the visuals in my opinion has been given more importance than speed in this which makes it slow, and many people i asked said that it really lags when playing hd games. Otherwise the rom is reported to be stable soo far. very few bugs, and if your not into gaming this rom may be a good choice
Pros: Looks Awesome, Fresh Look, Unique framework, Stable, Not many Bugs, Pretty Fast for daily use
Cons: laggy for gaming, Very small community of people using, not as much customization as other famous roms, Still needs more work, camera doesnt work properly, Contact numbers are not visible

#11.GingerXperiaRay: Another recent edition to X8 roms, Frankly i like this rom, stable, good performance, not many bugs, It's a good rom for gaming soo far i was able to run some hd games pretty well in it. The rom is smooth and maybe a good choice if your into gaming
Pros: Fast and stable, Built in ICS TRANSITIONS, Good app performance, Light
Cons: Needs custom kernel to fully work(Hopefully will be fixed soon), Needs more testing, Very new and very little users
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393520
#12:LinuXperia: This is a good rom, the creator has worked a lot and improved it from what it was, however many people have reported some problems and bugs. and there are some doubt about it being fully compatible with the stock kernel
Pros:Fast rom. good gaming performance, Stable(Many said that previous versions are more stable)

#13.AtiFroyo: This is Based On Minicm6,,so yeah it uses a little older version. As with all froyo roms, this one provides good gaming performance. But again as it uses older version you won't get as much functionality as Gingerbread roms
Pros: Fast Gaming Performance, Light weight smooth Ui, Stable, One of the few Froyo roms that are still updated (Mainly because it fairly new)
Cons:Quite a few bugs, According to some there are better froyo roms, lets face it Froyo is oudated

#14.Mini CM: This is another Classic Xperia X8 rom , Similiar to gingerdx its very Good. One of the fastest rom out there. It provides a pretty good performance when combined with Its own custom kernel. In my opinion it provides one of the best gingerbread Experience
Pros: Fast and Smoot, Great Gaming Peformance, All apps work without any problem, Light Framework, Huge community of people to discuss probs with
Cons: Needs Custom kernel, Some people claim it to be unstable

Thinks To consider Before Flashing A custom Rom: If you have doubts about anything gain more knowledge about it by asking people in Xda. If you want to install roms that requiere Custom Kernels Make sure you know how to unlock your bootloader
Warning: If you do anything without being sure about it you might end up with a bricked phone, and Hard bricks cannot be fixed on your own

hero this thread is on wrong section... this is already on general section... so pls read/search before post any thing....
Agreed...but unfortunately too i've seen to many new users ask here and in general forum which one is the best rom for X8.
This one could stay here and it is stuck temporarily.

don't forget about GingerCruzt, the last version add xperia active launcher
well, then let`s not forget either miniCM7-2.0.6, which, by the way, I personally like a lot, since I first tried it, I`m stuck on it!!
i posted it because many people look on the Development section,, and this thread is specially for beginners, those threads are a way more advanced and may look confusing to beginners
What would be useful is a list of pros and cons (or a list of what doesn't work) for each one.
For instance - i really like GingerCruzt, but can't get MMS to work on it.
GingerDX is an all rounder - but maybe has some battery drain issues (although Doixanh is really really improving it).
Just a thought
(and if anyone knows why MMS won't work on GingerCruzt, but works on my phone in GingerDX, please let me know!)
I have two propositions:
- tomek3pl H_Stock ROM. Has bloatware removed and contains good additions (App2SD e.g.) and a lot of people like stock
- HAKA's GingerFroyo, which is very careful with the battery.
How about SROM?
I havent really tried S rom,, i will add it after i have tested it
No ROM will beat GingerDX
Fast Stable. No bugs for me . no wifi bugs no battery drain.
i use'd this since v003 and now im running v013 it's fast run's great game's like NFS SHIFT and PES 2011 great customisation;
only thing i dont like is stock launcher (launcher pro) i much more like Go Launcher more customisations more fun bit faster and more stable
Please listen
if you got an x8. get GingerDX v013 Get OCv004 put the module in
Overclock to 729Mhz
You Will NEVER be happy with another rom once you try GDX ! ! !
Even Dox admitted there are some bugs in his roms ,, Gdx one of the best rom but still there are lot of other good roms like MINI CM7 AND GC
I was using gdx till v14. Agree with many - a great rom overall.
But since last 7 days I have used Fd v1.0.0 It has been an absolutely amazing experience. Fast, zippy, stable and I love the active launcher. I have not found a single bug, except one inconvenience that when you open contacts, sometimes it can take a little lag before opening; gardly a deal breaker !
Other than that my congrats and kudos to the developer on this amazing achievement.
P.S,: I have used maps while walking navigation last night in central london, phone was searching for signal in underground trains for 1 hour, used wi-fi and web browsing for 45 mins or so, fiddled with settings (ultrabrightness ticked), and still have got 40% left after 24 hours !
you have posted the same thing in multiple threads,, plz don't spam the same thing
hi.
sorry, i might be posting in wrong thread...
if i root my X8 and put custom ROM - will i be able to put original ROM back and unroot it?
asking cause my phone was given to me by my company and i might have to return it someday
well you should make a backup before flashing you phone with a custom rom, that ensures that if nedded you can go back to its default rom,, Use Xrecovery to do that, Just in case you havent backed up your previous data but want the default rom and kernel back, just download the newest se kernel and flash it using flashtool..
Please share a link to it
the one i found here is only for 2.3 as it states there

If you just wanna try a different ROM, yes you can use xrecovery to make a back up of your actual ROM and install a new one, but
1.- it is not necessary that you flash any kernel, since there are already a lot of roms to try with no risk involved, such as unlocking bootloader etc.....
2.- at any given moment that you want to return to a brand new factory stock ROM, you just plug your phone with PC companion or SEUS and choose repair and you are done, this will unroot your phone and reset it at factory settings, any doubt just let me know

Which ROM? I'm Lost!!

Hey guys, I just came from a Xperia x10 (which made me very happy by the way), and after one day of stock-use I decided to change my S2 ROM, despite the stock ROM being already VERY SMOOTH. Uppon checking the development area I almost fell of my chair: There are tons and tons and tons of ROMs! Please guys, help a newbiew like me to choose a ROM! I want what everybody does, a super ultra fast ROM, with great battery like and customization.
And BTW, x10's custom ROMs improved perfomance alot, but do these Custom ROMs improve the perfomance that much? Because it's already so so so smooth!!!
Thanks guys!!
Start at Rom A and work your way through to Rom Z .
Or use the search button as this question has been answered ten thousand times or more .Even same question asked yesterday you could look at that post .
Improvements not much .
Personal choice of rom = Cognition .
But until you can understand the differences stick with stock .
jje
Go with Cognition..That is one stable and good battery life rom. Comes with many tweaks to it as well. Or CheckRom thats another good one...
But my favourite even though im trying other ones at the moment is BatistaRom. Themed rom very fast, smooth like butter and good battery life to it and my best out of all the ones out there
I'm not amazed by the SGS2's smoothness as I have an iPod Touch which shows what the definition of smooth is. trollin'
Anyways, Cognition is the way to go!

ROM of the week

Hi everyone,
Since there are tons of ROMs for our great SGA, I would like to suggest the concept of ROM of the week.
This would consist in posting your oppinions about which is the best ROM for you, what do you like the most and why others should try it.
I will be reading as many posts as I can, and every Sunday I'll choose which are the 3 favorite ROMs based on what you guys think.
This should be the format:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of the ROM (link to its thread)
Pros: stability, battery, smoothness, etc...
Cons: bugs, errors, FCs, ...
Other thoughts...
------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you guys like the idea and make this become a sticky thread someday!
I will start:
SGSII JB ROM v10.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453165
Pros: Very very stable. Smooth, no lags at all. Normal battery life as it's based on stock. Nice SGSII theme. 14 toggles and extended power menu.
Cons: Based on DDKQ8, not really a con, but there are newer stock Roms already.
It's really worth a try. If combined with PSN kernel, one of my favorite Roms.
I'm sorry, but every comparison thread is a no no in my eyes.
Thread closed.

List of ROMs and their stability and performance

I've decided to make a small list of ROMs, as well as their performance and stability, on the i717 as many people are split due to the many ROMs that are provided by our hard-working dev team
-BlackSTAR XI: A personal favorite. One of the most stable and fast ROMs I've seen for the i717. Based on stock, but different and much faster. The only downside is that some might not like the theme provided by the ROM, but it's still pretty nice.
-CyanogenMod Official Build: A beautiful and fast AOSP ROM, but very buggy although it's on "stable". ROM deteriorates over time, HW overlays don't work, phone reboots occasionally on its own, and my SD card wasn't detected after a month of usage.
-Unoffical CM 11: A good AOSP KK ROM, but has HW overlay and stability issues.
-Padawan: A version of stock with some simple tweaks. Quite stable.
-BlackStar BlackJelly: A ROM similar to BlackSTAR XI. Still very stable but I personally prefer BlackSTAR XI.
-Candy5: Laggy, but a good venture into LL as it is still being developed. Not suitable for day-to-day use.
More ROMs will be added as I have time to test them.

Be advised that you don't want to venture into the "Best Rom" realm. XDA does not allow this. Opinions and individual device results vary.

You should do compare and contrast on all available roms, that is stable enough to be used as daily driver. We all don't have the same usage in daily lives, we have different apps, which is depends on the user, different battery/performance mods, kernels, power management, etc. Just try LOS, Pixel Experience, etc. and record your power usage and compare it to all and you can determine yourself which one of them is good for you.
Btw. I'm using stock MIUI cuz I don't have problems installing custom kernel, battery mods, and other tweaks.
ROM has little to do in battery life (I agree, a few ROM specific features consume more battery like AOD). It's more Kernel related.
To my experience, stock miui ROM is always the best in terms of smoothness, fluidity and stability. If you feel the battery life is not that good, just grab a custom kernel and flash it through TWRP. You can also debloat useless System apps in order to have better RAM management.
I haven't tested everything, but stock kernel and stock ROM works the best for me. Most stable, best performance, smoothest, best battery(I get 10HRs of SOT). You should re-calibrate battery if you have been flashing many different ROMS.
Thanks guys i am on stock stable miui with sphinx kernel i am happy with it but i want to to try stock aosp that why i ask
For custom rom, you can try crdroid. For me so far thisbrom with default kernel has great battery backup. Manage to get 8h ++ sot starting from 90% battery. I will test more with next battery cycle. Normal usage social media, youtube and so far not try with pubg yet
