I have been looking for a custom 2.1 rom with all the SE junk removed and nothing more added.
I have found several guides to cleaning the stock 2.1 and custom 2.1 roms (like kX10) which are in the Devs section.
The "Overview available ROMs (Custom+Generic) [Updated: 2011/March/18]" thread is great but under Generic Roms there isn't one with the junk removed
The other ones that DO have junk removed have alot of others stuff added, like custom HOME etc.
Would anyone know of a rom which has all the sony junk removed, rooted, jit etc.
A nice clean rom Thanks
I had and sometimes still use kxhawkins ROM. Its one of my all around favorites cuz of its functionality. I recommend that one for starters. Mainly cuz of camera and camcorder. But the froyo roms are having some great progress with the camera and camcorder though. Camcorder is working but not hd 720p "fully" yet

The best custom 2.1 ROM with all the junk removed, for me, is the BlueSparks ROM by malabarth. It is very fast and stable. It is also very decent looking.

Im thinking of buying my brother a X10 but i have a few questions to ask first. I currently have a HTC desire so i prefer android phones now.
1. I see that its possible to root the phone but there does not seem to be much ROMS available. Is there any reason for this?
2. The main reason i wanted to root and change ROM was to install A2SD but the X10 has much higher internal memory at 1GB. But can i still install A2SD+?
3. I see that there are vanilla 2.2 Roms but they have a few bugs. So is there a vanilla 2.1 Rom that is stable and everything works?
Thanks
1. The bootloader aint cracked yet, so the dev's are restricted with what they can cook..
2. Yes.. I believe you can, although I haven't bothered.. not needed it myself.
3. stock SE 2.1 with tweaks (JIT, junk removed, other minor changes) runs really well..
You should buy x10 immediatly.
Nice ROMs, stability, good devs etc.

Thanks, very informative reply.
In regards to the internal memory, how much space does the phone have for apps? The desire only has 150mb so that's why you need to a2sd.
The stock SE 2.1 Rom with all the junk removed sounds exactly what I'm looking for, have you got a link to it?
Finally, is it correct you there are 2.2 Roms but only the camcorder is not working? Or have they got other issues too?
Thanks
the best 2.1 rom is this, it's the one i have now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913610
really fast and stable, everything works 100%, you get over 400mb of internal storage with this rom.
the 2.2 roms mostly everything works but camcorder and a couple small things. but i'm still on 2.1, it works great, i won't switch until they've got a 2.2 rom with fully working camcorder.
hope this helped!
if u want free flashing,
i would recommend google phones or the galaxy S from samsung
x10 has the bootloader locked + encrypted so it's hard for the devs here to cook roms without bugs.
I'm running Free X10 at the moment. I've been away for abotu a month and just checked the dev forum which appears to be swamped with roms and other things...
So... which is the latest, stable rom with a fully working camera and camcorder please (i.e. which rom should I be using to keep full functionality of my phone)?
Welp if you woulda asked yesterday i woulda recommened Trips MIUI but im gonna have to go with wolfbreaks ROM or Z's 2.2 if you want a smooth and complete ROM. Both are basically almost 100% stable.
There are a few 2.2 roms. I've only really used wolfbreaks and kxhawkins, both are stable, with full functionality. rdannar has a stable 2.3.3 rom(which I'm currently using as my baseband is 54 and don't want to change), very fast and stable but, as with all 2.3 roms, no camera.
I would have suggested tripnraver miui, but it seems to have gone missing

It basically depends on what type of rom you want.
2.1 roms
2.2 roms
2.3 roms
MIUI is the way to go if you like iphone like style. Currently you have few versions floating around and one of the best MIUI roms is not available anymore. These MIUI ROMS are again based on 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 versions of android. 2.3 is the lastest and greatest and is lamost fully working when it comes to MIUI. I think the one you can get from forum is rdannar's and formels and rdanner's MIUI roms
If you want the Android like roms, then there are lots of 2.1 roms are floating around. If you want to be with stock SE features along with a nice root and camera, then 2.1 rom is the way to go
2.2 roms which were intermediate (intermediate because now we have 2.3 roms) which was originally unstable but now is 100% stable thanx to all our important developers which may not (or may ) have all the SE features.Once you step to 2.2 and above roms, you will lose the SE syncml options (the one which syncs to SE site) and you will be dependent on the google sync mostly. Wolfbreaks and Rendiero's roms were extremely popular in 2.2 roms
2.3 roms which is the latest and greatest of all but not many roms to choose from. We have SuperAOSP, SuperARc and now HD MIUI from rdannar, Cyanogenmod7 from Jerpelea which are popular but you have many new chefs now so you can expect to see more ROMS
I am not biased towards any developer. I just look at the way the ROM functions and also these are my views. So dont use this as means of fighting. I personally like Android based style more than iphone style so i have tried only one or two MIUI roms so far (One was Trips MIUI and the other was formel's by rdannar (i think) were very stable and fun to use)
But personally, I like Android style a lot. So i was always juggling between Wolfbreak's and Scamble's rom before i completely shifted towards 2.3 roms.
Now i juggle between CM7 from J, SuperAOSP and SuperARC with greater affinity towards SuperAOSP since i find it very stable
Cobrato's 2.2 MIUI is awesome you should try it
I just wanted to know whats the best stock rom for S II. I am happy with the phone's performance on 2.3.3. I want every features of the stock rom better audio quality, google talk with video calls and atlast tad better battery life.
Well, i think the battery life is depend on individual settings, like 3G,Wifi,sync etc.
For me is Leomar75 Revolution the best Rom at the moment. It comes with a kitchen app that allows you to install themes,roms and kernels. i tried Skyrom, Criskelo and lightning. look in the thread from Leomar and then decide for yourself.
2.3.4 is almost knocking on the door, so no benefit to discuss about 2.3.3, still am using the KF3 for a month now, very stable and the best IMO.
Criskelo V10, Lighning 5,Skyrom 4.0 and LeoMar75 2.4 are based on the latest firmware XXKG6 Gingerbread 2.3.4, LeoMar is the only with FullWipe (Apps and Settings cleared)
The next official Stock Firmware with 2.3.4 will be roll out soon
As the first rom i would use litening rom, no root needed and it can ne flashed via odin. Comes with root and cwm. At the moment i like leomar rom most, his kitchen app is really cool and easy to use, for kernels rom updates themes and other stuff. Nearly every day updated .
You have to try.
the best roms are:
1 - samsung stock
2 - CM
3 - AOSP ports
Other roms bring next to nothing (couple of menu item tweaks and sound tweaks) but bugs and a skin. You've to realize that all the claims they make about speed or battery have no substance, there is nothing that is done toward those goals and 99% of them don't actually know what they're doing at all. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.
I have tried almost all the ROMs out here in XDA, except CyanogenMod. Out of all the ROMs that I tried, MIUI is the best in terms of User Experience and User Interface and above all the super fantastic battery life. Go and give it a try, you wont be disappointed. This is the REAL ROM, the MIUI guy has taken customization totally to a different level.
If you're a fan of stock with some few subtle additions try Darky2 KG6 ROM. I applied the ROM (No wipe), then applied the odexer zip and then a JKay theme and app from the themes section. Looks sweet and works perfectly
Cm (Cyanogenmod) is a very good rom, but not at this time and not if you using Kies. I am waiting for stable Version and will test it too
LeoMar is a very good rom. The kitchen app is very useful if you want to flash kernels,themes and if there is a new update you can flash it thru kitchen app.
CM7 Ftw! And of course for a full AOSP eperience, you can try AdamG's Oxygen!
I will be sticking to CM7 though, for me it's the best, fully customizable and full of tweaks.
Thank for guiding
I beleive I should try no wipe roms at first then I should try the full-wipe roms.
Whats a good 2.3.4 rom that has somewhat good battery life, One that is very fast gets good linepack/Quadrant scores, And lastly a rom in 2.3.4 that is stable.
If anyone could point me towards a Rom like this it would be very much appreciated.
I wouldn't use a 2.3.4 ROM yet, not all the kernels are compatible with it. It could bork WiFi, camera, etc., since the kernel source for 2.3.4 hasn't been released by HTC yet. Also, there isn't much of a difference if you're just gonna be running a custom ROM on it.
Alright thanks for the tip so right now I'm on the stock 2.3.4 rooted ROM I can just convert back to a 2.3.3 ROM without any issues if I'm correct?

I'm using Synergy lastest build, just use subversion and keep up w/ every change and add your own stuff to the apps and take out those you don't want.
Plus the new wifi tether beta5 works so got all my functionality back.
Hi!
I have recently bought a second hand Vibrant.
Seller had MIUI on it, which I didn't like, for a few reasons.
One was non working GPS.
So, I installed latest stable CM 7 , which I like, BUT, GPS doesn't
work with it too. As I understood, that is common problem with 2.3.3
based ROM and Vibrant.
So I started looking for 2.2 based ROM and faced the problem, that
most links for these are currently dead.
I have succeeded to download Toxic Crazy8 and few versions of bionic,
but my recovery (version 5.0.x.x) refuses to flash them, as they are
in "old format" .
So, long story short, I am still looking for a ROM that will make me happy,
and thus need your help .
My requirements are :
Deodexed ROM, so I can apply the RTL fix on it ( or with built in RTL support).
Working GPS
Good battery life
Not too slow
As new as possible ( may be 2.3.x if all the above apply)
Should include FFC mod support
with working download link .
So, your help,suggestions and advices (and download links) are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
First and for most I suggest the ICS Passion V11 rom ....but if you want to go back to the extremely stable roms among us you will have to flash an older clockwork something that can be done in clockwork mod. Many people suggest Project V it was a great rom, but most would say that you can't go wrong with the bionix roms. Again though ICS Passion V11 (4.0.3 based) is definitely a modern winner though.

If you want the newest, latest and greatest, the two posters above me nailed it. Passion is awesome and fairly stable.
But if you are wanting a 2.2 ROM, fisherman (I think that's his name) is updating Bionix and should have updated links.
ICS Passion
Thanks for all the replies!
Let's say that you've convinced me, and I am going to try the ICS Passion.
Few more questions regarding it though.
As I am totally not familiar with ICS, does it have RTL support?
I recall I have read somewhere it does , out of the box...
Does ICS Passion have support for FFC mod, or , specifically, will
I be able to have video chats on Skype or it's alternatives?
Thank you in advance!
Mulder check your PM box.
If you don't end up liking the ICS, there are these 2.2's that are solid builds and you can flash them with the CWR version in my signature.
Toxic8 (which you tried but with the linked recovery it should work-did for me)
Deranged9
Bionix
Bionix-Fishman redux
Trigger
Bi-winning
2.3's have battery and memory issues, so buyer beware.
Oh, and how good is ICS in terms of battery life?
I get 2 days out of her...
