I was wondering if this would be a good trade. I am currently running Miui on my Captivate and its all tweaked out...but I just want to know if the ease and customization of rooting/modding/etc compares to that of the Captivate. Pretty much I just wanna know the pro's and cons of the phone first hand from daily users/flashers...as well as average resale of the phone. I love my Captivate but I think it would be cool to have something new to play with until the SGSII is released...thanks in advance!!!
The biggest con is the dual touch is buggy so it sucks for games..
Also there isn't much development compared to other android phones.
I appreciate your response. I enjoy hacking/and modding...I looked at the dev thread earlier and concluded the same...still might give it a shot though..

Noooooo!!!!!!
dual touch sucks.
gpu very weaker than captivate.

hey well you would have the ipod touch for games...
it is a decent phone, and from the sounds of things the bootloader might be unlocked very shortly!
Like I said, just be aware of the small issues, but I mean it looks nice and as long as you are informed and still feel up to it, then I say go for it.
I use my phone probably more than my laptop...but you do make a good point about having the touch. The other thing is like I said I'm gonna buy a SGSII when it is released so I could just resell them both and that would pay for my SGSII in itself...thanks you guys I really appreciate your responses...
On my rom i have.fully working dual touch and all games are working with perfectly.

Hi guys,
I'm looking to get an android device for my OH. She's not that tech-savvy (though she knows a bit as my geekyness rubs off on her), however I simply don't trust stock firmware so I'll want a custom ROM on it. She will be using the phone as a phone/web browser/camera/games. What's this device like in terms of usability, battery life etc? Does the 800mhz cpu cause lag at all? If I can get it for under £100 is it worth it, or should I fork out the extra £50 for a X10 Mini Pro?
As for the CM firmware, is it gingerbread?
Sorry for the semi off-topic post but I don't trust phone salesmen and the xda community know what they are talking about =]
Hi there
if you're talking about x8 then the processor is 600mhz, not 800.
For me it's really a question of what kind of games does she like to play because for things like email, web and some other random stuff X8 is just fine now that we have a flash player working too.
About games i can say that i have some real troubles trying to play some of them, even overclocking (my processor only supports 710mhz max) and most of the time we have to take a look on web to search for a modified version for our X8.
If i can give you a suggestion i have a friend at work that bought almost for the same price a Samsung Galaxy Gio gt5660, take a look. It has 800mhz processor, and has upgrade from samsung to 2.3.3 with flash player support.
hope i helped you.
If you use the overclock module from gc 7.3 you can reach 768mhz,and if you use the new 2.3.7 gb version you can set the frequency from 768 minto 768 max

Thanks for the info, its greatly appreciated. Basically shes currently using a iphone 3G thats donkey years old with no power button or volume rocker. It's slow as moses. She plays games from the market but no 3d racing or online rpgs, just puzzle games and minigames (rat on the run, angry birds etc). I'm looking to get her a phone thats quite nice but not really expensive. The main features need to be decent speed (no lagging on phone menus like with the iphone) and it must be future-proof (which is why I want a phone that has active custom development).
I can pick up the X8 for £75, the Galaxy Gio seems to be around £120 with the X10 Mini Pro at £150. If I can't find a good deal I might just give her my hd2 and buy a new flagship device xD
tl;dr Thanks for the info!

No rom can beat JB regarding smoothness. I tried both PAC and Cyanogen, both are great in that regard, but i think PAC is a bit better due to the presence of AOKP and a better camera.
I wouldnt recommend 4.0 custom rom, especially with Aroma installer. I'm gonna say it blunt, as i think it : all those are frankeinstein monsters built from parts badly put together, there is no graphical cohesion or harmony. Even the Sony stock roms now get elements from other phones, and overall, look really, really amateurish.

I totally disagree. While the JB may be smooth without any apps installed and some tweaking, ICS allows you to run a plethora of apps like skype and facebook without becoming a lagging monster.
The majority of custom ICS roms out there are not pretty, but OptiMax 2, JellySandwich 7.4 are raising the bar. I also have really high hopes for Iced Bean 3.
For really smooth go for ForsakenGB rom 3! Also the best experience I have had gaming wise
Between Iced bean 2.1 and Optimax 2.0 ?
still jj hybrid for me.

Are you implying that 4.1 can become a lagging monster ? Because i never saw that with my eyes.
On the other hand, yeah, 4.0 is stable. Stable in sluggishy, but stable. Unless you have friends and many texts : then, you're screwed.

Well. I have 140 apps on my phone. 40 of them are games. I use swap and link2sd to make space. I use my rom with those apps and without swap enabled when i paly a game like subway surfers. It runs smoothly and when i hit home i have my launcehr full of widgets. Then with subway surfer in memory i launch Nfs most wanted and i play it also with minimal lag. My mum texts me on whats app that moment so i realise whats app didnt get killed by those two games. So i can say i have superb multitasking in genereal on ics not saying only in my rom but my rom improowes things... i tryed fxp145 witch is their most stable relese. It was smooth. i agree but it was smooth until i installed my 140 apps. I enabled swap(on ics i told about i didnt used swap) so i enabled it cuz it wass laggy and apps were starting very slow. So i rebooted wit swap and launched subway surfers. It was smooth. I liked this. but after 1 min playing it started laging I pressed home. and i had no launcher. It was killed(god damn it this is suposed to be cm10) I realy disliked that. anyway then i ensured subway surf is in memory cached and i launched nfs most wanted. I started playign and it was lagging a lot then told my mum to whats app me. I receved it and nfs most wanted killed itself and it returned me to home automatically and again my launcher was killd. So is jb good - yes but not for our xperias. We dont have any drivers for it. So thats why.

Honestly, 140 is not much. It may seem for people who only knew smartphones with so little internal storage but believe once you enter the tablet or the more recent smartphones, 8 gb isn't even enough !

That would be thinking we have an endless need for apps and stuff only limited by storage. Sorry dude, but this isn't even remotely intelligent. 140 apps, not much ? I'm not even sure the uncompressible time of loading all of them can fit during a few days of a busy man.
Sorry to say guyz, but when you answer something like "4.1 can be a laggy monster", have the reflex to end up your sentence : "when i install my 140 applications, wich is not much", so that some readers can quickly detect they're just not talking about the damn same thing.
So, to me : i have 12 dowloaded applications, never saw 4.1 get laggy whatsoever. But i communicate a lot with texts, and as soon as i reach 30 of them on internal memory, all the 4.0 i've tested become increasingly sluggy, to a point where opening my contacts app takes up to 5 seconds.
Thinking about getting this phone as I'm on a low budget and I'm looking for atleast a midrange android phone to buy at the moment....
One thing I really need is developer support for a phone, and I was wondering if there's a ROM for this phone that can suit my needs if I purchase it...
I'm basically looking for a stable rom that's mostly bugfree and without annoyances such as FC's, reboots and so on...I'm also looking for a JB CM10 base...but I don't think I'll be able to find a stable Jelly Bean ROM at the moment so I guess any android version will do!
What I absolutley need:
-SPEED and RAM optimization for multitasking, gaming, and music
-Camera for photos
-3G, wifi and bluetooth
-Mostly bug-free
-HDMI mirroring
Things I can live without
-Excessive Customization
-Camcorder (though it would be nice to have)
-Webtop
Please help me find a ROM like this! Thanks!
Nutrino (CM7) or MROM (CM7)
Edit: Nutrino EE (CM7) is the most stable Nutrino rom, GT gives you more speed and don't worry about GT+

Nice thread!!!
I went with MROM and am very well satisfied. Incredibly simple install.
Don't forget (as I did) to go to settings / mrom settings / applications and uncheck use internal sd card if you want to use your external card.
I know it's a bit dated, but for CM7, I love Dorian's RedPill ROM. It flies and has some great mods incorporated within. Good luck and happy flashing!

Yes, they have 100% camcorder with 1080p and flawless HDMI mirroring. If you want the best that's out there for the Atrix, CM7 based roms are your only choice. CM9/10 are too incomplete at the moment (no camcorder, flakey HWA and HDMI mirroring), and blur is kinda buggy and slow. I second MRom, it seems to be the best CM7 one out there.

Hey guys,
This may seem to be a little cliched, but I wanted to flash a really responsive ROM.
I have sony xperia neo V bought about a year and a half back.
I have Cynogenmod 9 flashed
I really think ROMs are subjective, hence I wanted to have my wants ready:-
1. It must be responsive, dialer must be fast. Touchscreen shouldn't lag. ( cynogen9 after some days is unfortunatly sluggish ;( )
2. I dont care about looks. It can be as ugly as possible. I want functionality.
3. HD gaming and all are not needed. I need to play basic games.
4. FM Radio must work. I really miss it in cynogenmod9
5. WiFi, bluetooth, 2g/3g, camera: all must work. I dont want them to get enhanced. Just work.
6. Speed.
7. Froyo, ICS, JB. I dont care. I want a responsive, fast phone.
Can you guys please help me out with that. I tried to find a few ROMs, but none describes if FM works. Almost everyone says its fastest out there. I think you guys can help out according to my needs.
PS: The Stock rom sucked. And after ICS update it sucked and bit both.

i tried alot of roms out there for neo v and if you really want a responsive, fast phone,...buy a new phone...
all roms get laggy after some time of usage.
codename x has only a few bugs, is quite responsive (but after a week you have to reboot because of heavy lags) and stable.
someone also said, that cm7 has great performance on neo v, but i haven't tried it so far.
JJ's Hybrid ROM, Ultimate HD, Jelly Sandwich, Ice Cream Purness are all great roms with only a few bugs, stable and if you reboot your phone every 1-2 days they are all quite fast.
I preffer JJ's as it has pure AOSP feeling and i cant remember that it has any bugs but Ultimate HD might be a little faster than the other ICS roms.
There are tons of other ics roms, but they are all very similar in performance.
The fastest rom imo is polished blood but it is not really stable with alot of bugs (no hdmi, no fm iirc, camera not fully working...) (well didnt used it for quite a while, maybe it is better now)
i am about to try out pure xperia hd. the creator claims ice cream purness with better performance. that would be great as icp from thillinac is one of the best ics roms for sure and if it would have a little better (hopefully long term) performance, it could be the perfect rom.
ICS ROMs are very laggy...
GB: X-GAMER, Codename
JB: AOSP by mike or AOKP

As apps start locking memory space (ram)
And eventually your phone becomes laggy

Ok so, as the title implies I'm thinking of getting an Xperia Sola on the cheapside (135€) almost brand new. However I do have a few questions:
1. Would you say the phone is worth the price?
2. Do you think it is a good phone?
3. I mostly use my phone for multitasking and gaming sometimes, so does it fit the bill? The 512RAM thing scares me, my Galaxy W said it had 512MB but it had like, 378MB.
4. How is custom rom development for the phone?
Cheers and thanks in advance
1. It's definitely worth its price, even when there is few cons.
2. More Yes than No, It has interesting design, a technology wich is available only for this phone only, called floating touch needs to be improved tho, but It's quite usable in browser. Built quality is not the best, could be better... after a while u will notice some squeaks and other noises it is fixable.
3. That's because there is usable RAM and non usable, can t really explain where the unusable goes, It has to function somewhere else in phone...available RAM is 368. It's enough if u stick with GB android version on ICS takes allmost 90% when no apps are working. Don t recommend to buy one if u are willing to update it to ICS... it would be a huge disaster!
4. I have seen some of the costum versions, for gaming as well, haven't tried yet, i am sticking with the stock one, for battery saving.

Ok so, as the title implies I'm thinking of getting an Xperia Sola on the cheapside (135€) almost brand new. However I do have a few questions:
1. Would you say the phone is worth the price?
2. Do you think it is a good phone?
3. I mostly use my phone for multitasking and gaming sometimes, so does it fit the bill? The 512RAM thing scares me, my Galaxy W said it had 512MB but it had like, 378MB.
4. How is custom rom development for the phone?
Cheers and thanks in advance

You can update to ics, its working flawlessly and even better im on jellybean for last month without hiccups. Nice phone good price...overall im satisfied. Dont listen about ics bugs, use custom kernel for better battery, performance is awesome. The mussing ram is allocated to gpu, mali eats quite a lot of ram.

I gave this brick to my wife, i dont want to hear about this phone anymore - even sony left this phone.
Had HTC Desire X for a while which had arround 300 mb free RAM most of the time and a very good battery life. Now SGS3 and am very very happy.
not worth.
choose phone with 1gb>> ram for multitasking

1. It's definitely worth its price, even when there is few cons.
2. More Yes than No, It has interesting design, a technology wich is available only for this phone only, called floating touch needs to be improved tho, but It's quite usable in browser. Built quality is not the best, could be better... after a while u will notice some squeaks and other noises it is fixable.
3. That's because there is usable RAM and non usable, can t really explain where the unusable goes, It has to function somewhere else in phone...available RAM is 368. It's enough if u stick with GB android version on ICS takes allmost 90% when no apps are working. Don t recommend to buy one if u are willing to update it to ICS... it would be a huge disaster!
