Hi!
I'm new here and first of all I'm sorry for my bad english
I buyed a SE X10 mini pro but I don't really know which ROM I should install!
Please, can you tell me the best one with its advantages and disadvantages?
The best would be Android 2.3 but I have read a bit about it, saw that it could work (is that right?), but 2.2 would be good to see youtue vids and play some games from the market.

Edit:
Am I always able to put a new ROM on my mobile?
I installed "[ROM] Froyobread | v023c | 28/07/2011 (Mini Pro)" today, works a treat, marketplace a bit slow for some reason but looks a lot better than the 2.1 marketplace.
Can finally get my apps onto my SD card too.
If you can live with VGA video go for Ginger. Otherwise go for Froyo
Do you want eyecandy over stability go for a the "packed" ones. Otherwise go for the stabel ones
Eclair (2.1)
Sony Ericsson W8 E16i Port
Iridium rom (U20i)
Froyo (2.2)
Froyobread
CyaNoComb (stabel)
Cyanogen Froyo CM6
CyaNo (R)Evolution (stabel)
Gingerbread (2.3) (VGA-cam only)
SonyBread 4.0 Final
Andread
xCyanogenPro - Gingerbread
Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7
Did I miss anyone? Or misleed?
New to installing custom ROM? Go here: [TUT] From stock ROM to custom ROM for n00bs (X10 mini pro)
Thank you for your answers but I don't know which I should use...
The Market should be fast, most apps should run and I want to see YouTube vids. VGA isn't really good and the X10 mini pro has got a 5MP camera!
So, I don't know what to use!

I use CyaNo (R)Evolution 1.3, and it makes me happy every day
It got the "old" market app (fast download).
Okay, tank you
@Emperor.dk: Can you watch Videos (YouTube etc...)?
What are the advantages at the different ROMs?
Thank you for all answers!
Edit:
One question left:
Whats the baseband? Can I change it? Or could it be that I can't install another ROM?
Sorry, double post!
Delete this!
Yes, YouTube app plays video with no problem.
btw... just swiched to FroyoBread. More stable ROM if you ask me. (YouTube app also works here)
The ROMs are not that different in look, byt might be in feel (lag, stability, speed).
No harm in trying some of them.. The first custom ROM install might make you shiver. My first install went wrong and the phone keept bootlooping (i think the ROM wasn't a mini pro ROM, haha), but Sony Ericsson PC Companion fixed that for me.
Your baseband is shown i Settings. It MUST mach the required baseband by your chosen custom ROM.
Settings -> About phone

Hi all
I havent visited here in some time and would like to know what the current "best rom" is. You know, stable, fast, doesnt drain battery. Working Camera and camcorder with flash. Whats the hottest one out right now? So many to choose from!
I think it wrong section
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Personally I flash baseband .52 - then use xRecovery to switch between the CM7 Gingerbread (FreeXperia) and Wolfbreak CM 6.5 (version 5 but 6 is out now) and think that this is a really nice setup as it gives me everything of Froyo working perfectly and ability to check into the upcoming development being made with the GingerBread work from the FreeXperia team.
As a developer this is perfect for me to check, then I also have a stock Eclair 2.1 to go back and ensure compatibility on that front.

I don't know if there's an OVERALL best ROM as such (they're all quite good).
But you can split it in different categories.
Most stable: Tied between Wolf's CM 6.1.3 v54 & Z's AOSP 2.2
Most complete: Again as above (working camera/camcorder including Goggles/Barcode scanner - and pretty much everything as stock SE ROM but faster! ).Now you also have achotjan's and rendeiro's ROMs.
Fastest: For 2.2 ROMS I think it is easily Trips's MIUI ; for 2.3 I'd say rdannar's ArcBread.
Doesn't drain battery: ?? - It all depends on everyone's APPS, serttings etc. Though, I'd say Trip's, Z's, and WB's are the fastest.
Hottest right now is easily J's CM7 (over 1 million views!). Plenty of promise with 2.3.
deffinelty by far trip's MIUI rom its the most stable and the best rom for daily use
Z's FreeX10 beta4 is really good too that roms stock android 2.2
I really like CM 6.1.3, however if your a fan of the iPhone interface the TripNMiUI FINAL 1.0.3 is an excellent option. I have used both and they are both solid
Not playing favorites but depending on what you are looking for the following roms are probably the most complete and stable out.
Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 v054 (v06 is on it's way)
TripNMiUI Final 1.03
Jerpelea's CM7 J015 (2.3.3 mod) (Don't think camera is working in this one yet)

Goggles definitely works on those tow. But I think you may have to use Scanlife or Neoreader as your QR/barcode readers.
why not just use goggles to scan barcodes ?
Rendeiro2005 has a nice ROM also. Give this one at least a look. I get a quadrant score of 1301 on mine with over 100 apps total counting system apps.

I know, I know many people don't want this as we already have fully working 2.2 ROM. But many people likes to stick to the stock.
If you don't want this, please do not SPAM.
Don't hit your head here with useless posts.
If you like the ROM, please 'Thank' me.
Awesome. but ill still stick to your Gingerfroyo rom
Realy cool that someone port this rom to our phone i hope the downliad link will coming soon

WOA! ei mohak, if this is not china? what is it?
i dont know how you've got it man, you're fast.
screenshots uploaded.
Nice One, i do like stock rom at the moment. i am still waiting for a custom rom that i want
I have tried the Walkman Player + Widget and it's weird that they are not connected, that i can play music from the player itself and another music from the widget, i hope this is fixed in this version, and it kinda sucks that there's no Equalizer on it.
and about this 2.1.1.A.0.46 firmware, according to PTCRB its W8/X8, so is there any chance that X8 will receive this firmware too?
I hope you can also post all the new things in this 2.1.1.A.0.46 update
Thanks
SE homescreen but it can hold more than 1 widget? and it's like the new Mini's where the Corner Shortcuts disappear when the widget will need to consume the space?
Is there something more "walkman" , or it is only desing changed ?
well i'll say it's 98% X8.
I will upload the firmware as a "Backup & Restore" file.
So if you are already running stock ROM, you can do Advance Restore only system.

Thanks, although i did not try to flash/install custom roms yet, so what i read about Advance restore it will update, but will not delete my files right?
and about google apps? gmail?youtube?google maps etc, do they have the latest version?
The problem with mismatching widget is gone!!
uploaded the right ROM!
cheers!!
I just wondering... are we can get flash? in screenshoot show that market have flash.
BTW Haka
have, does this firmware better than 2.1.1.A.0.6? better frame rate? better performance in Quadrant?
2.1.1.A.0.6 had an average of 36-37 FPS, and 530-540 in Quadrant, i hope you can test it out and post results too^^
well.....i've migrated to my GingerFroyo ROM....
the W8 is now fully ported and i am done....
will see if any bug occurs...but by the time all the things are working as they should...

thanks

Dat is for official 2.1 users only... It wont work on gingerbready.... But i need to confirm here, whuever gt the mini pro system dump... Try the SEMCmusic.apk n tell me the results..

The music player from W8 its the same from X8, with a orange skin, and no equalizer.
I want the original from X10, that have a equalizer and its from a 2.3 platform.
I think that once the SE X10 update to Gingerbread is actually live and not just paper-launched, there will be plenty of developers trying to port the newer apps back into custom X8 ROMs to make them look more spiffy and cool. I know that's what I'd do if I were a dev.
I tink i dunt wan the music player, i wan the XLoud... Will it work?

I'm using mini, and it 100% work and stable. but:
1. default sound for notification and phone is silent. So, even the phone have setting with sound it will have no sound. Change in settings-sound
2. Power Widget LED doesn't work
3. I have installed paul's squashi input (default mini input), it's installed. But I can't change the soft keyboard from default xmp to squashi. There is no option to change
since it's cm7, it have interface as miniCM7

What do you mean?
OK, I have a soapbox and I'm going to stand on it.
Why do you think you need Android v4.0 or greater?
What do you hope to gain by using Android v4.0 or greater???
Some of the best ROMs for the XPERIA X10i are GB 2.3 based.
I am not aware of any benefits to the camera/recording above GB 2.3
WiFi is 802.11g and that's not going to change and it's only going to return 22Mbits at best.
The only benefits for WiFi is that CM does introduce channels 12-14 where stock WiFi channels are limited to 1-11.
If you're not using channels above 11, any Android version over GB 2.3 will not help.
I use OpenVPN and PPTP on my XPERIA X10i running GB 2.3 without any problems.
And if any of the above on balance have plus or minus depending on ROM features and requirements, then the following is the kicker...
XPERIA X10i Adreno 200 GPU only supports 2D Hardware Acceleration in GB 2.3.
My XPERIA X10i GB v2.3 mirrors the features of my XPERIA S v4.1.2 and I think that says it all.

Take the AOSP rom... it's good and fast. I've flashed it.. Running Nova launcher, greenify and crossbreeder on it. No offence but GB is too way behind...
