Hi to all XDA members,
Got an X10a with Global 2.0.2.A.0.24 rooted with Dual Touch....
i want to change my ROM to a custom ROM.....
I went to XPERIA X10 Android Development sub-forum and found lots and lots of customed ROM.......
so i want to know and have suggestions which is the best custom (2.1)ROM for X10a which has least bug(rather say no bug) and can work blazing fast......
Also Is it possible that Flash (adobe flash) can be pushed in to 2.1 ???...... can it be done ?
" I m really sorry if this is re-post since i tried to find it on X10 Q&A sub forum didnt got any such details "
i'm Using Eminence and installed Eternity 2 in my friends X10 and i vote for Eternity 2 . it's more faster and easier and jit included.
pick one you like.
I recommend eminence v1.2
I'm obviously biased, but check out kX10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913610
Why bother with a 2.1 rom when free10x has a working camera and is a million times better than any 2.1 rom? Get with the times
If you want something stable, use the modded SE roms like Eternity or X10iUser's rom. ( Basically Sony's normal 2.1, with some theming and tweaking; no Flash on these ones )
If you want to experiment with the newer Android versions, I'd suggest using Z's FreeX10 2.2 b2. However, this rom is still under beta stage, most of the functions work, but there will definitely be some glitches here and there. ( FreeX10 2.2 is capable of Flash 10.1 )
PS: do everyone a favour and make sure you READ all the info of that rom before posting in the dev section.
Best of luck.

True, the >2.1 ROMs are nice, but I completely rely on my phone. There's still too many bugs, and they aren't 100% stable. Plus I see no benefit other than Flash, which is not a benefit to me.

I have not had a single reboot or issue whatsoever.. I have found it to be 100% stable..
Well if you consider having your quadrant score nearly double (mine is 1500+ now, was like 800 before), not to mention the far superior memory management of froyo, I think you'll see there are far more benefits than just flash. Do some research on it..
Well i use Eternity, and I love it, and its blazing fast with no problems
I would highly recommend that if you go for 2.1,
I can't say anything about the 2.2, because i'm holding back until the video capture works correctly (i think that the only problem now, right? or was that fixed?)

higher battery consuming (around 20 hours) - Many Apps FC Specially Task Managers - other small bugs . Z Did a Great Job in his FW but still not completely stable .....as a smartphones user who likes to show his X10 to his friends you don't want to see your x10 reboots more than 1 time per a day. It's annoying . Once the camcorder is implemented and these bugs are fixed i will directly install the 2.2 fw on my smartphone . I'm Really Excited .

You don't need task managers or killers with froyo, they have issues even on official froyo. Read up in it.
I have not have even one reboot.. also the battery consumption is actually better than 2.1 due to the better memory management.

I didn't mean to offend you. I have read up on it, and while the higher Quadrant scores are nice, I didn't see any real-life performance improvements over a tweaked 2.1. Maybe others do, I don't know. I'm just saying that for me, I would rather have a rock solid ROM than a few bells and whistles.

That's exactly why I can't use 2.2 as a daily ROM. If they ever get 2.2 or 2.3 out of beta, I will definitely use that instead of 2.1.

Everyone's experiences will vary.
So what are the greatest reasons users upgrade their ROM to a custom one?
One reason that held me from flashing a custom ROM is that i use the camera a lot.
Should i upgrade to a 2.2??
Thanks!

You could always just try a 2.2 rom or two. If you dont like them, you can always go back to stock. You will get different opinions from everyone, so its best to experiment yourself.

Yea there are a few select 2.2 ROMs which have a fully functional camera. And like Patchy said you could always flash back if you aren't satisfied. I was a little hesitant at first to flash ROMs, but now I'm a flash junky =)
See for urself.
Play asphalt 5 or any 3D game on stock 2.1
See how much it lags
Upgrade to a 2.2 (wolbreak preferbally) or 2.3.3 rom
Play Asphalt 5
See how smooth it is.
Thats the difference

He seems yo be more reliant on his camera. Therefore, id personally recommend staying on stock and doing some mods to it.

why? wolfbreaks cam is fine..
2.1 sucks balls, I couldn't imagine going back to it, even fully optimized it is twice as slow as 2.2

I disagree. Wolfs cam might be fine but stock is definetly better, no question.
As far as speed, im on 2.1 and have been for a while now, with my own mods and cleanup there is absolutely no lag, and i find it just as fast and smooth as 2.2 roms right now. However, i dont play games, so there could be a difference there. Everything else tho, not much different.

Yeh the camera in 2.2 is a boo. Unless you live with vignette.
Speed up your rom then by deleting useless sytem apps\

You might also want to change the looks of the 2.1 ROM, which i find quite ugly

Yah also did all the enhancements including the JIT v2. fastest ive got on a quad is 760 and an mflops of 36.. i think ill just wait for the official 2.3..
offtopic: which is the fastest launcher? im currently using the Arc launcher..
i also want to mod it to an AOSP, but i dont want all the images of my contacts getting deleted..
LauncherPro works best for me.
Have you added these lines to your build.prop?
Code:
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=26
persist.sys.use_dithering=1
First one makes scrolling smoother, 2nd helps with graphics (especially gradients, etc.) a bit
Installing an AOSP-looking theme shouldn't mess with your contacts if that's what you want...
I've been using a 2.2 rom since z started developing his free x10, but to be honest it's only because I can... once you root your phone it's a natural step. The major plus is ability to use flash

Thanks im going to add that!
No i meant like deleting all the bloatware.
Ive used just about every 2.2 rom available and my biggest concern was the camera, on 2.1 it worked nicely and I hadnt modded it. To be honest, I like the camera on wolfbreaks the best I think it takes great pictures and more consistant than my 2.1 was, almost no audio lag in the camcorder. Im currently using the pzafroyo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033455 rom and its the best 2.2 IMO wolfbreaks a close second, everything works great, and it has the best camcorder near zero lag (need to change the heap size from 40 to 32 seems to help). To answer your question, IMO 2.2 is worth having for the speed, flash player, additional options, and of course theres some sweet 2.2 roms to choose from . Though my 2.1 is still silky smooth and works great too, benchmark 842, pzafroyo benchmark 2595 both feel smooth.
Upgrading to 2.2 will give you:
- speed boost
- more apps, for ex. Flash player
Rooting the phone also gives me the chance to try any custom rom... so I never get tired of the interface.
This is my opinion... you don't know what it tastes like until you try it.

Been using various 2.2.1 Custom ROM. Of those I like Wolfbreak 6.1.3 v64 the most. Since moving back to 2.1, I use the custom rom EWJET which in my opinion the best. At least I am more confident with the camera. The autofocus dont work with 2.2.1, hence I moved back to 2.1.
I've had my streak for a little over a month now and love this thing. I would like to boost its performance more but cannot find any rom that appeals to me. I've read some post with some people getting their quadrant points over 2k when mine is only in the mid 800s. Can I please get some help with streak, it runs stock rom froyo 2.2 version 347. thank you

I consistently score in the 1500's running streakdroid 1.9.0 with none of the install config options. I tried the perfmod option before but didn't notice much of a difference, if any at all. The device is rock solid stable without it.
I'm about to get a X10 from a friend of mine, and was curious about what the best rom/kernel for the phone is.
So far it looks like cyanogen mod 7.0 is going to be the best thing I could flash it with, but it kinda bugs me that the camera doesn't work 100%.
I'm also hearing that 2.3 will be officially released soon, but knowing how my carriers usually operate with updates that will be 3 months till I see that.
Whats the closest thing to a vanilla android experience with full functionality?
or what Rom/Kernel are you using and why?
Wolfbreaks 009 isnt quite vanilla but is my favorite thus far. Has some new ported gingerbread features from achotjan and it's speed is unreal. I use it with the 3.62 kernel by goro, doomlords, and zkernel are all amazing. Just amazing all around, and if not that use erickwill's 2.1 ROM. When gingerbread comes out the camera drivers will be ported to gingerbread ROMs so you shouldnt worry about not getting a working 2.3 ROM
good to know.
If you're looking for some extra speed, take a look at Power To The People kernel. Overclocked to 1.2GHz, but might cause some instability, and fry the device if used for a long time.
I wouldn't want to overclock.
I don't see the point in doing it on smartphones, especially when the battery life is already low.
Right now im leaning towards cyanogen or ultima 4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095637
just finished rooting it, now im running titanium backup.
Then for kernel you might want to check out zKernel-failsafe, no overclock, no underclock. Stable and fast. The stock kernel is slow.
Just testeds both Wolf's and Ultima 5... got some tiny issues with 3G band on Ultima and I wasnt able to open the NFS Drift Game in both of them...
Tryed CM7 + custom Kernel with a good response, all of this using BB 67. The only trouble I got with CM7 was the slow response from GPS...
I might go back to Stock Eclair + custom Kernel till the update comes out...

I was looking at the CM7 Rom but was afraid that everything would be slow/laggy on the xperia.
Hi, what is the best rom & kernel for SE Live atm? Is anything better than stock ICS?
ICS is quite new, not much done yet.
And there is no best, one has some bugs, other has other bugs etc. One has that better, other has that better.
GB 2.3.4

You recommend using 2.3.4 GB original manufactures root and cwm. Is already a good size to over and underonver

I didn't say I recommend that.
I am at the moment using myself stock ICS and don't have any problems.
Ok, what is the frikin best ROM+kernel combination if i go more for performance than battery life!
I want to have most chances to get OC to 2 Ghz. I know some kernels cant always get max Mhz out of phones.
Also, what is faster, Gingerbread or ICS ROMs with kernel combination for this phone?
Phone is SE Live with walkman WT19i
And dont say to me its pointless to OC to 2Ghz, i know that.
I searched forums, and i found Real ICS + rage is best, but that was in may/june..
Someguyfromhell perhaps you shpould make your signature bigger and perhaps with a flashing light?
Only in the past month something like 20 posts (that's almost one a day) were opened on this pointless subject, and they all have the same answer, try and find for yourself since everybody's needs are different. Each rom has its plus and minuses, if it weren't so there would only be one rom.
G.B is faster and smoother than ics since it's lighter and it's the os these phones were designed to run on

Gingerbread is mostly faster and stable and even if you could overclock to 2 ghz, your phone will only enjoy the 5 minutes it's soo fast before you will have to bring it to service center because of a burned cpu
