I've been reading through this for a while and can't seem to find any info on this, of course...it could be due to lack of sleep, but who's counting the hours??
SO...Which of the Froyo Roms out there are the Best/working as far as features go? Running 2.1 Update 1 on mine currently...With xRecovery installed.
I like renderio2005 rom with a gingerbread theme. I had very little problems with it.
But like gingerbread better. Just an opinion

Right - But isn't there still a couple issues with things working on the Gingerbread roms for this phone?
I'm using Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V4.3 [06-03-11] [Tweaked+Theme+Extras]. For me, its very very stable. Didn't give me any problems until now.
Renderios rom is 2.2. If u were wondering

Me too, seems to run good and has good features
Z's Free X10 Beta 4 is probably the most popular and very stable. Other than the camera app and no camcorder, I did not have any problems.

+1 except for the camera (known issue with all froyo's as far as I can tell).
So is the gingerbread ROM thats out there just as stable as the froyo roms? And are you guys flashing these over with xRecovery?
Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V4.3 is very stable, fast and highly recommended
I use the native camera with no issues and use Vignette if I need to use the camera flash.
I also use the version of Videocam Illusion in the link below for video recording which has been tweaked by the developer to run on our Froyo based X10 roms. The quality isn't great but it's better than not having any video recording facility:

Lmao you can tell what I'm using by my sig
Yeah I love this ROM, especially with all the added customization you can do through the CyanogenMod Settings Menu, such as change LED colors and easily change themes, it makes it a great ROM :]
Camera works and to take video, you have to use Videocam Illusions with only records in 640x480. But I can deal with that.
question, anyone notice X10's battery drain a lot faster with Froyo roms?
in comparison to stock 2.1 rom

Yeah I've kinda noticed this as well. I suppose its kinda understandable since the froyo roms run a hair faster you know?

From X10 XDA App on Wolfbreak's CM6.1v4 Froyo 2.2.1
No battery drain on Free X10 Beta 4, for me anyway. I'd say the same or even slightly better.
Im pretty sure that I'm running the Generic 2.1 Update 1 on mine now, The only issue I've got is I'm picking up 4G Speeds throughout Colorado (except up here in the hills) and I'd be more concerned with loosing that when going to one of the custom ROM's...
Could just be me, But this phone SCREAMS when you get that lovely little "H" on the signal bar! Dunno - Maybe I'll try it since I backed up my stock ROM yesterday with xRecovery...We'll just have to see, but it sounds like Wolfbreaks ROM is the best one out there next to the Free Beta4 one...
Thanks for all the input
I use CyanogenMod-6.1.1-v03 and have done for several weeks now, its really stable with a few issues, like the camera (common problem for most roms) and bluetooth sometimes acts a little weird when I try to pair it with my MW600 headset.
Battery drainage is normal, but I use a extended battery with 2600mAh instead of original, so its hard for me to compare.

You still get HSPA. If you think your phone flies now, wait until you try 2.2. We would not be on it if it was slower. Speed is basically what you are getting by giving up a fully functional camera and other customizations.
I switch between FreeX10 beta4 and rendeiro's cm6.1.3 and would say they're both pretty stable. I don't have a problem with either one for daily use. I switch back to modded 2.1s for camera and camcorder.

Bit of a wide open question maybe? But I'm sick of waiting for HTC to release the 2.1 update and want to move to a 2.1 ROM on my unbranded UK Hero.
I'm not bothered whether it's got sense or not I just want a fully working fast ROM.
What do people recommend.
Thanks
Sense - VillainRom 5.2 (5.3 should be out tomorrow)
Non Sense - ( I don't really use them so not sure)
Sense - VillainRom 5.2 (honestly ... In my personal opinion, there is a lack of competition)
non Sense - I've tried a bunch, but I just can't get into using a crippled phone.
I've been using Sense Hero 2.1 by Stickman
The font that is used in the pictures on Htcdevscene.info has reverted back to the normal font as people were'nt Happy !!!!
Everthing is working fine at the moment and another update is due out to fix some issues.
Can anyone compare this to the Villian ROM as I havn't tried that one.
Thanks
I tried almost all 2.1 roms on XDA, and even if developers made an awesome work on it, 2.1 is not worth it yet on Hero.
Roms are pretty stable, but not 100%, it's really slow compared to 1.5, and the battery drain remain huge.
Last thing, if you use Spotify, I think you can forget about 2.1 roms for now.....
MCR 3.2 is still the best
Well you say that but VillainRom 5.2 certainly is not slower than 1.5 roms

Do you guys feel that when using 2.1 roms, the phone starts out so fast and stable when you just flashed them then a couple of nights later, its so laggy and some things start to make problems like making phone calls or wifi stops working or acouple or the lag becomes more and more
my favorite 2.1? aHero 0.8: clean, stable and I don't have to complain about "issues"
Vanillain 2.0 JIT - AOSP maybe is better, I have to test it (Vanillain 1 was awsome)
One advantage about Vanilla ROMs: you can, if you want, use JIT

I also tried that, even with 2 or 3 applications running the phone remain laggy. Back to MCR after 1 month and a half on 2.1 (VillainRom and aHero), my hero is smooth again and I can use Spotify without having to kill all processes before.
And that doesn't prevent anyway from the battery drain
Was using Legend port but as was going for Holiday, downgraded to 1.5 for GPS. Now I'm itching to try but ROM development seems to be in explosion . Gone few threads for almost a week now and still cannot find any definitive answers:
a) Which build has the stable GPS without that on/reboot-off/reboot bug?
b) without sleep bug?
c) Bluetooth audio call working without any problem?
d) Without Camera green-blue tint
e) 95% stable? well close to 100% will be bonus
f) Can hold charge for at least of 7-10 hrs.
Thanks.
I'm using Legendary v1.3.5 right now and it looks good. Waiting for VillainRom 5.3 tho.. ;-)

Just bought this phone (Sony Xperia x10) for my wife, after I smashed her Samsung galaxy S 4G during an argument last night. I ordered it overnight shipping so it should be here by Monday or Tuesday.
Now there were no custom roms out at the time she had her Galaxy 4G, so it was only rooted.
Yet after visiting the development section for this phone it looks like there are tons of roms being cooked up for this one, so I just wanted to get a few opinions on what roms are worth flashing? I'm looking for speed and stability above all. Its for my wife, so I want to be able to just flash something for her and never bother updating and flashing again for a month or two months at a time. Now if it were my phone I'd be flashing every other day! But that's only because I can handle bugs, beta testing, and known issues so on and so forth. Women though, they just want their phone to work, period. So what's the most stable rom to flash for the x10? Any insight, suggestions, heads up, and links would help, as I haven't got my hands on it yet, I want to go ahead and research as much as I can about it, so I can root, flash, and customize it for her right out of the box. Thanks.
cobratos miui is REALLY good...
Wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3 is also fantastic
I flashed cm 7 gb onto my gf's htc wildfire. Its completeley stable. She gets like 2 or 3 fc's every few days and guess what.......she still bloody moans lol.
Anyway back on topic....i vote for wolfs cm 6.1.3. Super stable, bug free and must be close to final release.
for stability i recommend z's freex10 roms
for eyecandy i recommend cobratos miui (my daily rom, fairly stable, has few bugs)
the stock 2.1 rom is not bad at all, just gotta optimize it a bit (remove bloatware, enable JIT, Sysctl, compucache, build.prop mods)....i think there are a few 2.1 roms with these mods already in place, however i havent used a 2.1 rom for a long time
if she wants take advantage of the nice camera on the x10, i recommend going the 2.1 route as the camera interface and quality is the best with stock 2.1 (IMO)

Since it is for your wife I recommend android 2.1. There are some nice girly themes out here for it, and she won't freak out of bugs.
Hi,
I've tested 5 roms :
-> original SE last update 2.1 : lot of lag
-> kX10 R2B001 - 03FEB1 : 2.1 rom modded : better than the official one : good but not for playing
-> 2.2.1 FROYO : very good but some bugs (like translation) and don't like the launcher, too slow for me : good for iphone lovers
-> Achotjan_Froyo_2.2.1 : 2.2.1 rom modded : the best for me : it's french lol -> Actually, found no bug, the best for me : very stable, better than the official, very fast (BB58)

i would recommend BlueSparks(2.1) Eminence(2.1) Eternity(2.1)
MIUI are good if you like the lay out of Iphone as that is what it looks like in respects..
Irun z's freex10 2.2b4 hotfix1 and data2sd. fast realiable basic... theme it with xfx10. and your done!
+1 for z freex10 beta 4 hotfix 1
Solid as a rock and lightning quick
For a little more customization I would recommend Wolfbreaks CM6.1.3
Maybe freex10 now and CM6.1.3 in a couple of months?? Just my opinion

Use Trips MIUI (2.2.1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013210
Its the BEST MIUI rom with fully working camera and camcorder.
I am using it as daily rom. It is super fast and smooth.
many devs says here that ROM is perfect and EVERYTHING works,the problem is the with the definition of EVERYTHING,its differnt for every dev,for major roms you cant use camcorder so cant use goggles,bar code scanner ,video cam in all settings,there are some walk troughs and ways but then you cant call it everything
just go with 2.1,modify the stock one ,thats the best option
you broke the last phone....if there are too many lags,your wife will smash the phone this time
for us its all ok,for your wife dont take any chance!!!

Not all women just want their phones to work, period Some of us can flash our own ROMs. I used z's Freex10 but prefer wolf's CM 6.1.3 since it's very fast and good on battery. However different people have different problems with the ROMs they flash and it's worth paying attention to instructions
I strongly recommend you take look at this thread: talk.sonyericsson.com/message/59415 . It has many good ROM's for the X10 with some good feedback.
I have personally tried the stock ROM with JIT enabled and removed bloatware (did everything needed to make it quick) it worked good but the battery life sucked. Then tried FreeX10 and its pretty good and quick but yet again battery life wasn't any better than the stock one. Then tried CM by Wolfbreak and its pretty darn good. Battery life is def better and so is speed.
Im going to be honest with you none of these ROM's are even close to perfect. They all have slight bugs, all force close once in a while.
So here's my advice, if your wife isnt exactly tech savy + likes to use features such as the camera and wifi alot than stick to the stock ROM and wait for SE's update this year.
If she is a problem solver (isnt afraid of using google to solve any problems she has) and doesnt want a phone that lags to often and has good battery life than go for Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3. Although wifi and camera can pose problems sometimes on this ROM
Hope this helps

I feel like you guys are feeding him misinfo, I haven't had any force closes on either of the roms I posted, they were/are completely stable.
With all due respect to the developers who I think do the best work out there for Android phones...I've tried a few of the new ROM's and I've not experienced the full working Camera claimed in several of the threads. I'm fine with the no zoom feature...I downloaded Vignette and it's all good.
It's the camcorder that I need working 100% with a new baby on the way. I am on BB 46 and I found that I had the audio delay issue with video recording. I applied the patch that came out for that issue and then I had issues with the video's freezing, particularly longer ones.
Does anyone run a 2.2 ROM and not have video camera issues in 720p? If so, what ROM/BB combo are you on?? After switching back to 2.1 last night I'm really missing the performance of the 2.2 OS and am dying already to get back to it
I'm not sure about the camcoder but I think Wolf's CM rom is quite good as he's constantly trying to fix the lag issues.
The stock camera/camcoder app can take things at a better quality, but the zooming is way too slow for me.
If you like the stock app, then you can wait for the GB update as some testers claim that they are going to use the SE camera app in our update.
I've made a couple movies myself in 720p and didn't notice any issues with it.
I'm on Wolfbreak's CM6 rom.

BB shouldn't make a difference in the camera but you should flash to .52 if you really are on .46 and not .49.

Yeah I'm leaning that way, but the 2.2 performance overall is so tempting
I saw a lot of posts from you in the 2.1 camera mod thread. Would you recommend I stay clear of that and stay 2.1 stock, or patch the V10 camera upgrade? You showed some pretty impressive pics in that thread after applying the patch and playing with some settings.

I saw a lot of posts from you in the 2.1 camera mod thread. Would you recommend I stay clear of that and stay 2.1 stock, or patch the V10 camera upgrade? You showed some pretty impressive pics in that thread after applying the patch and playing with some settings.

Yeah, the thing is is if your running firmware .435 V10 wony work so well. Theres video/audio lag when playing back your recording. But when i switched to firmware .6 V10 worked awesome.
So if your running .435 use V8 as V9 and 10 were built over the .16 firmware. V8 was built over the .435 firmware.
Or you can just stick to stock which works really well itself. EV control is the major benefit.
I explained how to use it in the camera mod thread.

What I would do is this: Setup whatever 2.2 ROM you decide has least lag issues/best camera options then create a backup. Then flash a 2.1 ROM custom or not the camera is the same but only install apps you absolutely need and make a backup. Now you can switch back to your 2.2 backup and if you need a better camera restore your other backup and since you haven't installed a bunch of stuff it should load quickly. You could also set up the reboot to recovery script (doomlord has a thread on dev forum) and create a shortcut to it which would act like a widget to further speed up your restore process.
You should also upgrade your baseband because .46 is just old, .49 and .52 are the same generation and work with the same ROMs. Generally speaking the newer the BB the better the radio and battery and .58 is the newest now, although MiUi and GB ROMs work on older generation.

What BB are you on? I was using his ROM and I had lag in my video's.

I'm was running .49 on that and his new Gingerbread MIUI. The video was perfect on his Froyo MIUI but I get lag on GB.

This I'll definitely consider. A dual boot situation at this point is more work than I'd likely use. Now that i've been back on 2.1 for a few days(keep in mind it's an optimized stripped 2.1 rom)....life's not so bad. I don't apparently watch much flash content on the phone because i'm not missing that. Really the coolest thing I miss is having the ability to toggle my wifi/apn etc from the status bar.

It isn't from the status bar, but grab Dazzle Widgets. It will let you toggle wifi/apn, even cellular radio (a feature I was missing from my crackberry days), along with brightness, sound, bluetooth , gps... I have a 7 setting toggle, and it works perfect....
Seems official as far as i understand doesnt work...

you could try gingerDx aswell! it really works great with minimal bugs, or better lags if you want to call it like this.
I wouldn't flash the official CM yet!it is still too buggy.

I dont think thats the best one...
I tried it and camera not working youtube not working , market not working....etc
The only thing i liked about that is multi-touch only...
I think official android 2.1 is better than MiniCM7
I think ginger dx and flame e and mini cm7 are better than stock rom. I don't have any bugs on these.

its so hard to decide as alot of ppl say that one is best or another one, like this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301684 says Gintonic is best
For Mini Pro, absoultely GinTonic right now, but some minor issue like G-sensor is still there, not a biggie.
Generally GingerDX based ROM is safe enough to be called stable on its base function.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116
I am using this and looks like this is really stable
Gintonic is very stable
Gintonic is very stable
few minor issues like 3 MP camera and some signal perturbation for the wifi and network
but all in all Excellent job for Slade 87!

Maybe we should propose a system to create a matrix for each ROM of what features works great, ok, buggy, not.
I think this could be better to select a ROM because: It is quite difficult to select one (and I'am too lazy too try all them)
I have used these since early september. GinTonic --> GingerDX --> Flame.E --> GinTonic again.
Everyone of these is great in my opinion, went back to GinTonic today and the last version is really great.
And i havent got any FC since i switched from stock kernel to Zombie Panic, slade87 have done a really fantastic work, both with kernel and rom.
Of course all the other devs is great too, without all you devs my Mini Pro would be very boring, but it feels that i got a new phone every time i upgrade/change ROM/kernel.
GingerDX or any other ROM/port by Stelios97.
Having said that, there's nothing wrong with SE's official 2.1 ROM either.
I used gintonic in the past, it was pretty good, then I changed to minicm7 pro v16 and was pretty happy with it for a couple of weeks until the new version (v17) was released.
So far it's pretty stable, the battery lasts a bit more than a day with light wifi usage and lots of sms's. The only thing that doesn't work is the radio, but besides that it's quite stable so far.
what do you guys think is better than TW that i should try, miui?
Miui was pretty cool. Visually appealing but for me some apps didnt work and battery life sucked. I am using phiremod 2.0. It's a cm7 that in my opinion apart from bionix is the best rom I've tried I get great battery life and its really fast and reliable. I've been on it for about 3 months

If you want a good quality 2.2, check out Toxic8 or Deranged9. Both excellent ROMs with great support and outstanding battery life.
If you want the latest then ICS Passion is where it is at but make sure you are comfortable flashing ROMs, Odin and bootloaders. Oh and read, read, read.
I've been using ics passion 10.6 its great! no rom gives good battery life for me but this isn't any worse than stock 2.2 battery life
I am new to this stuff, but I flashed Zendroid a few days ago and love it. Super solid, no glitches at all yet. I have 25% battery right now after a full day's use and that never happened on stock. I love it, super clean, super smooth. I can't speak to "better" than bionix as I haven't tried that ROM yet. Just know that Zendroid is awesome.
I was on bionix 1.3.1 and was hesitant to try ics passion but the rom is smoother than I ever imagined.
Ok so I was looking at ics, and there's a ton where can get the best rom and kernels or is there a good site I can read about it?

Just look for the "ICS Passion v11" thread in the Development sub-forum. I recommend the stock kernel, only because it lags for me if I use Eugene's. Results may vary though, so you should try both and see which works best for you.
Sent through the XDA App on my Samsung Vibrant running ICS Passion v10.6
I think it really depends on the features that you're looking for. Personally, I don't really see the necessity to jump ship to a GB or ICS rom for the Vibrant just yet (if ever). Someone posted a pretty legit list on Fishman's mod noting the differences between Android versions that you should check out to see if updating is worth it for you.
+1 for bionix from me..
ICS Passion v11 is pretty sleek, but since there's no 1080p video recording I may have to revert back to Bionix.
The Vibrant is a better video recorder than my Flip- I'm not sure why they would cripple the video.
360 productions make some great miui roms. I prefer lithium. you could give those a try
I've been using bionix nextgen v2 for a long long time, and it's fantastic but I'd really like to make the jump to a GB rom.
Mainly because I can't stand the fact that my CM7 Nook Color can run apps that my Galaxy S class phone can't.
Only GB ROM I've tried so far was the first stable CM7 version, but no matter what I tried I couldn't get my GPS to work _at all_. Since I actually make use of my GPS on a fairly regular basis I went back to bionix nextgen.
Can anyone recommend GB or ICS roms that have good GPS performance (meaning they don't have that "turn off GPS once and you have to reboot to get it back" issue)? Been browsing through the roms listed in the dev forum, but I'd also like some extremely fresh personal feedback from other users here.
Thanks in advance all.

Would also like to know whether such ROM (GB with working GPS) exists...
Since my original post above I've switched to ICS Euphoria. It does have the GPS off = reboot to use it problem, but honestly leaving the GPS switched on all the time does not seem to have a serious impact on my battery life vs what I was getting before. In the end I'm fine making that tradeoff in order to be on modern firmware. ICS is _awesome_ and I don't see myself going back.
