Will we ever get a clean 2.1 ROM? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Well, 2.1 (SG) is on there, but it looks like there's still plenty of glaring bugs ('social' phonebook, favourite contacts). What's preventing the awesome ROM cookers on here rolling us a nice clean 2.1 build? Lack of a device for testing? Or some part of the ROM that's still uncracked?
I'd *love* a clean 2.1 build for my Mini Pro...

When you find an answer,, PLEASE PM ME AND LET ME KNOW !!!!!....
haha okay...theres sooo many threads...i cant seem to find one i like...
i mean first theres one with 2.1 then it has a whole lot of bugs...i cant make up my mind!!!
i think sensehero is the best.it is 1.5,i have been using it for a few days now and it's amazing!fast,stable and it looks great!you can find it here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637064
but i think that developer has it's own forum now so you have to download it from there!
but its 1.5...isnt 2.1 the latest and greatest and fastest ??
yeah it is,but developers are still waiting for the official hero 2.1 rom that should be out in a few days now...i tried most of the 2.1 roms and none of them has everything you would want...so you should be patient for a few days more till the REAL thing comes out...
thats bad. i thout 2.1 was released fr htc hero!! whats the delay?
i don't know..i think the next date for release is april 16th..we have to wait and see..
Mr Bang 1.5
I am not willing to try the 2.1 out there yet

why not ?????
If you want a 1.5 based rom personally I like modaco... sensehero is pretty much the same thing but I dont like the blue colour much...
If you are looking for a 2.1 based for me I have found the Villain SprintHero port rom to be the best and fastest overall ...
between that category the competition would be between Villain Sprint and BeLegendary 1.3.5...
i see...and what if i flash my hero with the cyanogen 5.0 rom thats designd fr the nexus one?? will it work of will i brick my fone??
Just don't do it. It won't work.
If you want a ROM similar to the Nexus One, try Androbin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651103
If you're looking for a decent 2.1 rom, try VillainRom. I use it and have no complaints so far.
It's not as stable as some ROMs, but it's pretty fast and has great features. Having said that, a lot of people use HeroDroid as it's far more stable apparently, but doesn't have things like Live Wallpapers. I have had no issues with VillainRom, however.

Judging by this and a couple of other posts he wants something similar to the Nexus ROM, ie. Vanilla 2.1
+1 villain port Sprint,having no problems with it at all!

does the modaco rom have the same problem ??
If you want a beautiful, fast, and stable ROM, try the SenseHero (I always restore it after trying any 2.1)
If you want features: Villain 5.x or Legendroid ; )

Which 2.1 release???

Hi people
I have got to breaking point with HTC and there update 2.1
I'm looking to install one of the Developed 2.1 release but which one should in install,there are so many. I want something stable and not buggy.
can anyone recommend me a release.
thanks j
It all comes down to personal preference but I would say that VillainRom is probably the most feature rich and is defiantly the most stable 2.1 rom there is.
One of the most stable indeed, only lacks .3gp playback but nonetheless a very nice rom!
you cab try sense hero its made from villoin.. quite nice... I have using it more around 1 week
Hands down winner for me is SenseHero 2.1
Looking forward to a fully functional Chpobus too though
sorry for the threadjacking, but i have a simular question, what 2.1 rom has support for other locale than english.
I know that the latest villain doesn't have it.

Any rom not based on the american CDMA leak should have more languages.
yo, i have to say villian rom 5.4 by far! most stable and is pretty quick! and best of all.... OTA updates! by far the best i have ever used. and the theme tht come on it is pretty slick. so i would highly recomend villian rom 5.4. and if thats not your thing try some other roms by ngprussel (spelled something like that) cus hes the best rom maker in my opinion.
thanks for the help i just downloaded 5.4 villian rom. installing do i just download and rename zip file to update??? im having a problem installing im getting a E:Failure at line 392:copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
try to recopy it to your SD card, if that doesn't work download it again...it sounds like your .zip file may be corrupt. no need to rename it.

fixed it i didn't do a clean wipe, i have been playing with villian 5.4 release but i cannot change the lock screen wallpaper, anyone got a fix?????

[FIRMWARE] New custom 2.1 version 8b was released.

A new custom 2.1 version 008b Freedom signed was released. So check it out here. This version has improved stability.
Anybody tried this?
Well i think that you should probably search before posting something
Cheers.
why are you spamming here who cares about 2.1 AOSP when you can run pretty stable 2.2.1 FreeX10 b4 and possible Gingerbread for the future??? woohoo 2.1 optimized ROOT, JITv2 is much better than 50% AOSP
it's not a FIRMWARE !!!! it's just an other AOSP...

best custom android rom for sony ericsson xperia x10

hey all been a big fan of these forums for a while, and just got myself a wee bargain, an Xperia x10 (NOT MINI) big touchscreen phone boxed and unlocked for £90 off a mate. well the android rom on it stinks. its so slow and i just generally dont like it.
Ive been reading up on which is the best rom for this phone, and ive found that the 2 best are kX10 Custom 2.1 SE ROM – R2B001 (found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913610) and tripNmiUI Iris 1.7 froyo (found at http://android.modaco.com/topic/340637-rom-18-06-tripnmiui-iris-17-froyo-on-the-road-to-revolution/)
basically, i want a fast responsive rom that looks clean and nice, and is 100% fully functional.
thanks in advance guys, or if theres any better roms let me know.

You missed one: Wolfbreak's TW Gingerbread ROM, which right now is the most stable and provides the longest battery life. Of course, some users may claim otherwise, but the majority will probably agree with me.
Good luck with your X10 ;-)
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
oh, cool!
so out of the 3 then what would you say is the fastest, best battery life and the best for angry birds?
its just i heard that iris one is amazing, fast fully functioning and a great rom.
also, how would i go about installing one of these roms safely? do you have any links to installation guides for said 3 roms?
thanks for the reply.
squarehead94
Well, as I said, the best one FOR ME is Wolf's GB rom. It is 100% stable, gives very good battery life, and as for Angry Birds, that's sort of a funny question. You can play it flawlessly even on stock rom, unless the FPS is capped at 15 or something :-D . For the links, I can't provide them right now, but you can just go to Xperia X10 sub-forum, then to X10 Android development, then you will surely find all three threads easily with all the instructions and required downloads.

ah cool, well ill keep looking now and see which one i decide to use. thanks!
hey again, im currently running android 1.6 baseband 1.0.14 x10i. how would i go about installing the wolf rom? i dont know whether to update to 2.3 then do it or what cheers!
Hmm.. 2.3 should be out in most parts of the world, so just plug your X10 into your PC and install SE PC Companion. Then search for updates for your device, and it will be done automatically.

Go to youtube and search for - Xperia X10: Flashing Wolf's Tweaked v2.3 Gingerbread Firmware.
This video explains everything you want to know .
Tried many roms till now, gingerbread (TripNMiUI - MIUI 1.8.26,FeraLab, Achotjan, Oodie etc) , ics (cm9 Free Xperia Proyect, donut), For me the best experiencie was TripNMiUI - MIUI 1.8.26 but it is a shame that Trip stop developing on x10 so the rom its a kind old.

Evervolv 4.3 - alpha

Hi all, As I said, here comes the first version of android 4.3 for the x10. This is based on the evervolv ROM.
The binaries can be found in evervolv 4.3 folder.
https://www.wuala.com/CMX10-Releases/?key=CMX10Team
BUGS
NO CWM delivered with kernel
NO CHARGEMON
The WLOD that because famous with android 4.3
Maybe a lot more.
Install
Copy ROM on your SD card.
Wipe Data and Cache
Get into CWM and install ROM.
Flash the kernel.ftf using flashtool
This is an early version, I might not have time to work on it a lot. If someone wants the sources before their released, PM me.

PS: Forgot the little disclaimer.
No warranty about this. I can't be blamed if somethings goes wrong or if phone is damaged. Use at your own risk.

Good job! But unfortunately we won't be able to achieve the smoothness we want if we can't get out of kernel 2.6.29.

There's some pretty cool version of JB. The CM10 now has every thing except hardware video encoding/decoding. Everything else is working nicely.
CM10.1 and Everolv 4.2 and 4.3 have an issue with the kernel. But I can't manage to fix it. So we've been working on newer kernel, 2.6.32 but it has a camera issue. And we're trying to port a newer kernel, but it's not that easy.

It's been a great experience with this phone and with great ROMs by great Developers... Thanks a lot guys from all X10 users.

I wrote, no GPS because I didn't find the icon to disable the GPS. But if you say it work's I'll update first page then .
Yeah WLOD, like for the 4.2.2, it's a shame, otherwise I like the Rom.

Yeah, only place when You change something with GPS options is "Location access" in "Personal"
Some other options i cant find - for example i cant change icns on status bar - wifi, sync or something else - i dont know chow too change it ;p
But ROM can be nice in the future i like it too in alpha stage its better then other in beta ;p
One more thing - is it possible to restore USB charge or something like this to kernel? Becouse i read You remowe this options from source code and from 4.X kernel we cant use other then Sony charger - i have Philips charger for 2 phones but cant use it.
