Hi, Im not that good with all this root, custom roms and stuff. I did root my device though. My xperia x10. I got 2.1 rooted.
I read about everything with custom roms everywhere and everytime i read about android.
What is custom roms? does it enable me with my xperia to download a custom rom or custom version so i can get 2.2 or 2.3 even if sony ericsson has chosen to not update?
Thanks
Oh, And i downloaded something from connect-utb site.
What is it? is it some kind of new android version? it stood that it can be used on Xperia so... it was something XDAndroid
cant link. But search google for connect-utb
Custom ROMs enable you to have 2.2, 2.3 and so on, BUT with some drawbacks. Since the highest the phone can go is 2.1, the ROMs will be based on 2.1 and some things might not work (e.g. Camera,Videorecorder).
Try looking at the x10 developement section. Ask what you want to do in the q and a section and we can help u. But all the info is rite here on this site. U just have to look.

Hey guys, I'm new here and am a novice with rooting. I rooted my phone and installed the 2.1 rom that looked like the original. I really don't like the look of the "vanilla" or "darkened" modified roms.
My question is if there's a 2.2 rom designed like my 2.1 stock looking rom. I don't remember the exact rom I installed, but if you guys need it for reference I can try to find it again.
Thanks

There are basicly four 2.2 roms to choose from for the Eris. You would need to try them for your self. I've tried all of them myself. None of them look like 2.1. If you like your 2.1 rom, why don't you simply apply another theme to it.
If by "stock like" you mean 2.2 with HTC Sense then no there are no 2.2 roms like that. A vanilla rom would be the closest to "stock like" as you can get.
Hi,
I have been using my x10 for a couple of months and finally decided to flash it with custom rom I have already rooted it and enabled JIT v2(I donno exactly)...
Until now I have never flashed myphone with custom rom using xRecovery or flashtool and now I am now on the latest 2.1 update and couldn't wait until the GINGERBREAD update
I can't understand which rom should I flash my x10 It is on BB .54
Could you help me to suggest me a rom for my BB .54 ???
and I need the camera and the video recorder working....
Thanks in advance
And this is my first smartphone and I really like it
I would sugest u tell us what u need from a rom. Eyecandy or performance. Stability or happy to try the latest releases. Might find you will get more options suited to ur needs

I use Wolfbreak's ROM. It's very stable.
The camera is the stock android one but it does 8 Meg pics and 720p video
I've been going back and forth between Wolf's & Rendeiro's custom 2.2 ROM. They are essentially the same but Wolf just released an update recently. Feel free to try both then decide for yourself. Once you get the hang of things then checkout Jerpelea's custom 2.3 gingerbread rom.

Before I answer to your question, I would like to ask.
Which Firmware version are you on? I assume it's 2.1 right?
You should install xrecovery (using flashtool)
You can JIT your phone. (your phone should be superfast).(Using flashtool)
You can even upgrade to Wolfbreaks 2.2. Just have a look at dev section

HI all,
I upgraded my x10 mini pro to 2.1, i have not done any modification for my phone apart from that . I want to customize my phone as much as it can be done(rooting,kernel and stuff).
Please guide me to make my phone interesting.
P.S:- U can term me as a lame guy when it comes to mobiles
Thanks
Actually all of those tutorial has been posted in here, just give it a look around & ya will found it.
Just try using it for rooting and installing xrecovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136&highlight=script) and to install custom roms, download what do you want, I recommend MiniCM7 Pro by paul-xxx.
As of currently, no full custom roms are possible. Only roms which are based on the stock kernel as the bootloader is locked tight and we have almost succeeded bypassing it, I believe.
i want gingerbread 2.3 sony stock rom , is there any flashable zip files for it ? or atleast i want the stock firmware download link? can someone plzzzz giv me that
All 2010 devices from sony ( x10, x8, x10 mini, x10 mini pro and whatever i forgot to mention ) have been given an update to Android 2.1 (Eclair) and that's it.
There is no Stock Rom for our devices from there on, so no Froyo or Gingerbread. The reason this site exists is to allow us to bypass the limitations set by the hardware manufacturers and run software beyond what they give us.
So, if you want Froyo or Gingerbread.. run a custom rom, you can find many of them in the development section of this forum. If you want Gingerbread or ICS stock.. buy a newer device from Sony

Just in case you're not aware of it, your phone needs an unlocked bootloader to do that, pay very close attention to see if your simlock-certificate is supported, otherwise you will lose the capability to use it as a phone.
Kernel: nAa kernel for gingerbread
Rom:MiniCM7-2.2.0
Sony style: Sony Ericsson Stock Mod
Have fun with it
