My friend has an Xperia X10. He always see me nerd out on my phone, I was wondering if anyone can give me a quick run downs of roms to check out for him. What one do most people use, what one is the crowed favorite.
Thanks.
I have to say the top three froyo roms are the one in my signature and wolfbreaks froyo rom. I cant forget z's rom too.
The top gingerbread rom is j's.
There is no crowned favorite yet. Its by personal preference.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
For stability I found Zs freex10 the best in terms of speed and stability. For eye candy im using tripmiui with freekernal.
I've used a few vanilla 2.1 roms too (can't remember names) and they ran okay...just make sure it has JIT enabled..

I run Z's and love it. But again, that's personal preference. I also have Wolf's and Trip's that I can switch to on a moment's notice.
But yes, those are probably the biggest three that people use. Links to them can be found in the stickied thread here:

That has (almost) all of the relevant information you're looking for.
Thank you all very much.

It all depends on your preferences. Read some of the posts regarding the different ROMs and developers to see what you are looking for. Personally, I like Axura, but I have tried all of the others and some are stronger than others in different areas. I just boils down to what you like.
Happy flashing.
1. wrong section
2. ROM preferences vary from people to people. try as many as you want and decide what's best for you!
Here hope this helps:

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Overclock kernels are only 2.1 roms
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
Since I've just started using ROMS. I was wondering, is there a list or thread of the top 10 most used/best ROMS? Thanks in advance guys!
Not sure of Top 10, All I can say, every one gets a different score or opinion for each rom. Its matterof personal preference on what you like on each rom.
Not in any order or priority, list of roms that have consistent positive feedback and updates.
Team Whiskey
Eugene
Einherjar (Multiple Devs Merged into 1)
Try Nero v4.1 with overclock kernal. This has to be number one. Very fast and stable. 65 fps, 2000+ quadrant scores, no lag issues. Its a very good rom. I'm more than impressed.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
For me I can tell you my top 3.
1. Axura 2.2.6.0 - Master
2. Nero 4.1 -Team Whiskey (good if you like overclocking)
3. Pepperkake 3.5.2 - Jelette
All 3 of these roms are fast and stable. I personally found Axura rom to work the best for my needs.

These 3 are all great, and The statement "I personally found the XXXX rom to work the best for my needs" is ultimately the bottom line...... personal choice
I use the Axura as of now, I get least amount of banding in my FFC with it and the best battery life.
Thanks for the info guys!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
NERO
GingerClone
Axura
are probably the best, and most popular out currently, i use nero, but love both ginger clone and axura!
Which one gives you the best battery life?
Battery wise, axura gave me the best with no reconditioning.
Nero with reconditioning gives about an hour or less than axura, but battery life is all dependent on how u use your phone
For me, I use axura cos my gps works with it, with nero my gps doesn't.
But have to say battery life with nero is very good.
Would love to try pepperkake /eighnjar ROMs too..

I tried nero, axura, and ginger clone. I personally like ginger clone. I've never said, "i don't like...." I try the new versions of all the roms. I find myself going back to eugene ginger clone. :/
Sent from my vibrant. Via XDA App.
I flashed the latest version of Axura last night and I am blown away. This is my first custom ROM (coming from stock Eclair JI6) and I am loving it. It's hard to believe this was developed by enthusiasts and is available for free. (I will donate of course!)
I am sure the other ROMs are great, too. I'll be trying them soon
I would like to know which of the roms is the most stable.

me too. i'm sick of waiting for 2.2 since it looks as if samsung doesn't care about their customers so i'm looking for the most stable rom from 2.2.
guess i'll try the auxura(sp?) and see how that goes.
i assume you don't lose any apps or anything when changing the roms?
I get the best performance and battery life with Nero V4.1
Everything works flawlessly.

You LOSE all your apps and contacts unless you back them up first! Follow the Noob guide posted in this forum to back up your apps using Titanium backup.
Edit: The Axura update doesn't delete your videos and pictures that you took with the camera. I had backed those up but they were there when the new ROM loaded up
It doesn't wipe your internal or external SD card, but it does wipe all your apps. Everything on SD cards will stay exactly like they were preflash (barring certain circumstances, but I won't get into those right now. These issues are not present with any of the current roms (using stock kernels)
What is the best kernel that I can use on the generic 2.1 firmware that has WiFi and gps working?
They have not fully developed any "good" kernals yet, just alphas. It's a work in progress and do not think any are compatible with the generic 2.1
For now with your needs stock is best option. Lots more work to be done yet ;-)

Ok just wanting to make sure because the lag gets kinda annoying.
Il be honest from my experience iv had using custom kernals, yes they do help with speed and help the phone feel less laggy but youl get much more out of flashing a custom rom with all features working, say a froyo one like zdzihu 2.2 beta 4 or wolfbreak or even miui. Custom kernals are still very much a work in progress. You could even try out some of the kernals avaible on froyo, i dont think any have been made for 2.1 yet and you may find the custom kernal may break the wifi or gps. Tbh id suggest just try changing your rom and if you need a hand flashing it or basebands iv put together a great guide in my signature

I agree with Gingerbread Man. Most if not all 2.2 ROMs have been thoroughly developed and have been really smooth. I was running the generic 2.1 for awhile and flashing 2.2 ROMs made my life so much easier because they are really smooth with little to no errors. Try flashing a 2.2 ROM. It will be worth your while =)
Hey guys I'm new to the fascinate forum I currently have a vibrant a friend is getting the fascinate and I'm trying to find the best rom for them. It doesn't need much flair. Just needs to be smooth and stable preferably a 2.2 rom. Thanks guys lemme know
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
It comes with stock froyo (2.2) but if you are looking for a custom ROM then you should check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090448
Those are the two most popular/stable custom 2.2 ROMs out there. I would read through the posts and form your own opinion. I use Evil Fascination but they are both very good. You should know that there is a high probability of a stable, fully functional custom 2.3 (gingerbread) ROM being released within the next couple of weeks.
Would love to see stable Gingerbread on my beloved Fascinate..
what rom are you guys using?
i just rooted my vibrant and want to know what rom right now is working good..with the least amount of issues and bugs
most importantly where i dont get missed calls or txts
im guessing cm7 isnt fully working
From what I can tell the most stable ROMs are still 2.2 since CM7 and other Gingerbread roms still have issues with GPS and battery power. The two best established ROMs I've found are:
Project V from 6/11/2011
Team Whiskey's Bionix-v 1.3.1
fwiw out there, I wish there was a "stable, widely used and fully functioning" section in one of the FAQs. I know a number of the regulars on here are comfortable flashing, but I would guess a majority of the readers/lurkers just want one stable ROM to use for the rest of their phone's life.
Good luck!
hahaha yeah thats me...im always trading phones..traded my sidekick 4g for vibrant plus 75 bucks
would you post the most current link to the roms please if you dont mind
i really wished cm7 was stable =/
I'm using phiremod. Stable and I can put netflix on without further mod. However, I can't overclock. I really wish I could do that. I'm sure there is a way, I just don't know how to install the kernel necessary with CWM. I'm still a big noob.
Sent from my phiremod Vibrant using XDA App
my vote is for toxic 8. with immortality kernal or bali which comes with it. Plus there is lots of themes available for it. I tried most of the GB roms and they all have great features, but I want everything to work as it should.
Bi-Winning V3 with Bali 1.8.8UV
In light/moderate use, I'm currently on 33% and its been 1d 8h..

there is a section in the development and it has the vibrant bible open that up and look at the kernels section for 2.3 u will see bali glitch neo and so on i suggest neo for best battery life and smoothness i always overclock to 1.44mhz with setcpu and i dont UV
So I'm guessing that all these roms are to SD just how com would right
