I recently acquired an X10a and I quickly upgraded it to 2.1. I'm using LauncherPro and so far, I'm loving the phone except for a couple of issues:
1) No matter what keyboard I use, it's really slow. I'm a fast typist and so far Swype and SwiftKey seem to work a lot more slowly than on my Samsung vibrant.
2) when I receive picture messages, and tap on the picture to view it in Mediascape, nothing happens. The only way I can view the picture is with Astro.
Any suggestions?
Finally, I'd love to upgrade to Froyo. My ideal ROM would be close to stock Froyo that's reliable and gets good battery life, nothing fancy.
Thanks everyone

Installing jit v2 should help the stock rom but if you wanna upgrade I suggest Z's beta 4 if you want vanilla or a lot of people use wolfbreaks if you want a prettier alternative. Note: do not install jit in froyo roms as it is already included and will cause problems if you install it again.

Edit- ok, stock 2.1 is tons better. What's the easiest way back?
Actually, you'll really love it with Wolfbreak's FroYo ROM. Flash it and let it settle a few days and it's hella snappy with awesome battery performance. But the batt performance sadly is only if you can live without timescape, in my expperience. Flashing his ARC Timescape made the phone hela LAGGY and the battery burned off 1% a minute. I deleted all the TS stuff and it went back to awesomness.
Also I personally like sicNside's Lucid theme for WB's ROM, but there's a catch there as well. It'll modify some system apps. Bad thing because itll take away the awesome phonebook/dialer from ARC. I have, however, redone the zip for Wolf's ROM to make it not do that.
That's my $0.02

If you want a really good looking ROM, try the Bitsnacker 2.1 rom. It is basically the stock rom with the bitsnacker blue glow theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005636
If you mean THEMES, check the bitsnacker theme out for the x10 which works on android 2.1 stock and 2.2 Free X10 Beta 4 (for Freex10 ignore first post, check the second half way down the screen)

Just curious with all the options that are available, Which ROM is on your Vibrant and why do you like it?
Stock JK2 because there is no "give and take" and I can customize it to my liking.

Put this in q/a right now
Onyx V3 -- mostly because the install instructions were super easy and I really like the black theme. don't like touchwhiz, so I sided with Onyx over Obsidian
I prefer Bionix for 2.1 ROM, and been using McNut for the 2.2 ROM...
But after trying Masters Axura 2.0.2 I found my new favorite! I love the look and feel of it.
I now run Axura 2.0.2 with eugenes kernel#802 and Ryanza's one click lag fix and ive never been happy with my phone. 2000+ quadrant benchmarks and 17mflops. You should give it a try.
My Custom ROM is...
AOSPISH_JK2_v1.1
Love this ROM! It's clean, fast, and everything works without a single problem.
w00t
I use a rom called the general section made by xda, you should try it.
I guess this is in the wrong place. to those of you that answered thanks. to anyone else, how do I move this to the correct location? Didn't mean to break the rules, just trying to learn from this great community.

if you're going to do a thread like this why not make it a poll?
the best rom i use
Axura 2.0.3 the best rom for my vibrant ever 100 plus
Great idea! seeing that this is my 1st thread, this is what I came up with. but I love the idea of a poll, maybe I'll try that in the right location. thanks.
I prefer ROMs with better battery life. Now it's Obsidian V3 - 0.2-0.4% per hour in sleep.
Thanks Lorendoll Battery life is important to me too
Currently using obsidian v4 (Snagged it before it was taken down. Works great for me, but will probably reflash when it goes back up.)
I use ADW Launcher because I hate tw, but I find i'm addicted to some of the samsung apps that won't run on onyx.

Bionix Final here as it has fantastic battery life. Tried a couple 2.2 ROMS and the battery life on them were pathetic.
Staying with Final until a 2.2 rom with acceptable (IE: more than a day) battery life comes along.

I am NOT the maker of these themes. I have tested ONLY the Gingerbread theme with CM6.1.1 nightly for MT4G - NO ISSUES!
BE SURE TO DO A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING ONE OF THESE!

Good to know we have a second :-D
backedup and installed the Gingerbread theme. Worked fine, cept my notification font is black, and makes it hard to read. probably going to restore back to before.
You can change the color of the text on cyanogen mod settings
Wonder if someone can port the gingerbread theme to 6.1.2. After that, I'm a happy man til CM7.
the sad part is I knew that. How embarassing.
Anywho, I've flashed both the Gingerbread and Lucid and they're both working, as far as I can tell. Currently on Gingerbread. I'm running CM 6.1.2 RC1, working fine
I am currently running the kaosfroyo v39 ROM and was thinking of flashing to the CELB v4.3 ROM but on the thread there are no screenshots. Don't want to flash to it if i'm not gonna like it so I was just wondering if someone could post some screenshots of it so I can see if I would like it. Tried to post this in the Android Development thread but got an error saying I can't because I haven't posted more than 10 times on here so far. LOL Any screenshots would help, Thanks guys !
its a vanilla CM rom, it looks the same as the rest of the vanilla CM roms like kaosfroyo, vanilla tazz, FroShedYo Vanilla, ect ect. And make a Nand backup before you flash incase you dont like it
Still tells me nothing. So as I posted above, is there any way someone could post some screenshots of this ROM ? Just want to SEE what it looks like before I download and flash to it.

FWIW to the OP, those screen shots are not precisely what CELB looks like by default. It's basically the same thing as Kaos Froyo - as in two of those screenshots, white notification bar, green battery charge indicator, translucent notifications, the same dialer, contacts, messenger, browser apps as Kaos. ADW is the default launcher, but obviously you can install your own.
I just want to know what you guys think.
I'm going to be using Bilboa's kernel on both so it's basically just which ROM is better?
I'm asking because tomorrow I have a state sponsored test and when I finish I'm going to be bored and I want to experiment with one these two ROMs. So what should I flash?
UI - GPS = MIUI
Android + bonus - GPS = CM7
Tough decision, my opinion. Neither will have great battery life.
I found MIUI to be sooo beautiful but it kept getting unstable and weird on the XDA app and some other white background apps (color) but I'm on cm7 and its great and a little more stable
PS
Watch my video review on miui for a good though

Miui has the great looks that cm7 will never have. yeah sure you guys can change your themes... But can you change them so it affects EVERYTHING?
boot animation.

Theres thousands of themes, where... Well cm7 has probably a hundred.

And another quick question for you guys: which version of MIUI did you flash on your phone?
I found the one on xda forum: MIUI 1.4.8 (Beta 6) 2.3.3
or the one from SGS MIUI sourceforge : MIUI9000_RC4_VIB <-- for the Vibrant
I want to try that amazing ROM but I need your help finding the good version to flash!
Thanks

My phone has the built in theme chooser.. but I also have the flashable themed zips that are VERY professional (and change everything)... AND, my phone doesn't look like an iPhone (MIUI).
I really prefer the stock android look CM7 brings to the table. Everyone has a preference, no need to knock one over the other. That goes to the person who called MIUI a cartoon theme too, MIUI is sexy... just not MY preference.
In my mind,neither CM nor MIUI,the battery life is the key point to me when I choose a rom to flash.
Since they use the same kernel you could set up Cm7 and do a nandroid.....then flash MIUI and set it up.....then do a nandroid for MIUI. Then you can switch back and forth in less than 5 min!
In my opinion MIUI is less buggy than CM7. MIUI went official and they have fixed almost everything. The only problem i have is that GPS does not work. The battery life is average if u flash version 1.4.15. MIUI's UI is so beautiful compared to CM7.
Again, our comes down to ui, stock android with features, our android that slept with iphone.
Latest cm7 releases are stable, just no gps/poor battery.
i like miui
Actually, both stuffer from similar problems, just that miui will have it fixed, whereas cm7 is unpredictable, but maybe cm7 can take and borrowfrom miui?
I've been using miui a my main rom for about a month now and love it to death. I'm not having any stability issues with all of my Apps. Granted the GPS blows but the Vibrant GPS has always sucked the big one. If I need to use GPS that bad I just put my sim in my G1 which has ****ing amazing gps.
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
^ agree with every word.
I haven't been on a different rom than miui for over a month.
I considered rooting and flashing to a Gingerbread ROM but apparently there are problems with battery life. Battery life is important to me so I will not be going for a Gingerbread ROM.
Which Froyo ROM offers the stock experience? No customization or modifications, just pure stock Google Froyo. I want to make my phone snappier and to get rid of TouchWiz.
Are there bugs with these Froyo ROMs?
None of them. If you want a raw android experience, flash CM7.
We don't have a Google stock Froyo. You only have 2 choices, choose a TW rom or a CM rom.
Try to wait for this weekend we MIGHT have a gingerbread leak according to samfirmware.

Gingerclone is as close to aosp as you can get while still being on 2.2
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Trigger 3.2 or 3.3 beta is the best of the 2.2 ROMs in my opinion, also if you want to go to 2.2.1, Bi-winning V3 is the other recommendation. Both will give you complete and accurate functionality of the phone, in other words everything works just right. Go to Gingerbread or CM7 and while they are nice roms you loose functionality of certain features due to the lack of drivers (gps, accelerometer are the main features you loose).
cm7 is good when it comes to stock 2.3 gingerbread experience bionix 1.3.1 tried to minic it with the themes but its not stock like cm7 is. i was on cm7 now im on the bionix 1.3.1
