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.
Hello All,
I have been following XDA from a long time. I have tried all the roms on my X10 posted by diff devs. Here is my experience,
1) For 2.1, Bluesparks Rom worked the best and gave the maximum battery back with the best 843 QUADRANT SCORE.
2) in 2.2 segment, I tried FreeX10 beta 4 and CM 6.1.3 v4.1, although both roms work almost similarly, i find FreeX10 more clean and some how looks better on x10( after applying the semipertal HC theme).. CM rom makes the phone look cheap and the set of icons just dont look good.
Also the battery life is almost similar for the two roms But its was about 70% of the one with 2.1 rom.
Also, one problem with the 2.2 roms is the dialer(not the battery issue) , the dialer looks bad..stock 2.1 dialer is awesome with big picture of the caller..My view.
3) Gingerbread scene is still not set.. roms r not very stable..IN my view best would be to wait for the rom designed for ARC to be made fully functional on x10 and then use it. they tend to heat the phone as well.
GUys please post your experiences and share the ways, how u worked out your problems so that we all can use the device the way it is meant to

Don't forget 2.2 TripNMIUI with Arc home and widgets..It looks fantastic in my opinion!! and all work fast and properly!! ..howerever..i think that cm6.1 is more personalizable than Free X10..but anyway they are two good roms!! You are right saying that the dialer of 2.2 and 2.3 is not so nice like in 2.1..I hope that Trip can fix his TripNArc rom so we can have the SE awesome dialer back again!!
Can someone tell me the difference in both?? Please
Im not sure, I asked the same question since cobrato's MIUI came out, it seems to me that some ppl like Trip's and other cobrato's.
maybe you can find something here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051340
they are based on the same version, but cob fixed every bug that was on trips rom, also cobs is WAYYYY faster and smoother. The ones who prefer trip's just haven't tried cobs yet lol
Yep Cobrato's is just perfect & more battery friendly for me
I think it's great....my two small issues were resolved.
Cobrato's have animation & Lockscreen Album Art
I know this might be a dead horse, but I must say without a doubt cobratos miui is better than trips. Im talking the 2.2 based one I havent tried gb version yet. Cobratos miui camcorder is very smooth with great sound and virtualy no lag, while trips is pitifull.

If you have nothing to say, then get your ass outta here.
@OP, I've tried both of them and I think both of them are just the same. I'm not sure why but there are not many differences aside of the miui version.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Last time I checked, Trip's Gingerbread MIUI has problems with randomly losing data connection. Some have reported that the latest version is unstable. It scores incredibly high in linpack (though that doesn't mean much)
I have not noticed any problems with Cobrato's Gingerbread MIUI.
Froyo MIUI was too ugly for me so I never tested either of them extensively.
My advice to everyone: Try both for a full day each, make sure you explore everything, then make your choice.
P.S why do we bother to post in this old thread.
originally Trip had the camera working(vga through illusion) but i think cobrato figured that out. but you mean the 2.2 version, then cobrato's is probably your choice.
I think "hotdogs and seaweed" was referring to the camera

EDITED
Bah why am I posting in here again...
cobrato's gb miui has low res camera too, and tbh, i think cobrato's miui is much better,
i tested trips miui - it had problem with data transfers and sms (sms can be fixed by sms_fix made by cobrato ), and trip doesn't give any support for custom kernels so you need to use stock one (you can try to use any of them but still it's not the same way when dev is supporting them) and miui launcher is quite heavy so without custom kernel is very sluggish, i know trip is working on his camera drivers but... se 2.3.3 upgrade is on the way, i'll wait for official one than use trips rom...
i'm using cobrato's miui as my main rom for few days now - with freekernel or zkernel it's very smooth, led is fixed (you can use this fix in any gb rom), fps is uncapped, overall performance is great, just look @ second post in cobrato thread - you can choose between all available custom kernels
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.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
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.
Hi guys,
I'm using MiniCM6 v 5.0 by slade87 now. Recently I have had some random reboots and it seems to be slower.
Which rom do you use? Why?
Well i use froyocomb 1.6 to fit my honeycombs needs
And it is also fast and it saves battery!
But if your phone goes slow you can just adjust the cpu settings so it goes as fast as you wish
Or change rom i suggest using froyocomb or cyanocomb
They are really fast and stable!
But they keep getting updated fast with a lot of new things
When I try to change cpu settings I have a lot of reboots. I don't know what to change to avoid this.
Has Froyocomb the same feature of MiniCM?
Sonybread 2.0 imo.
"Stock Rom with Dualtouch & Link2Sd & Set Cpu" Works fine for me, used Custom Roms allot but they not really stable until now and little bit buggy bad not so bad but for everyday use i thing i had so much problems now that i went to stock and iam happy
Once you install a custom rom it's hard to come back to the stock rom
Currently got the stock 2.1 rom on mine.
But then again I've stuck my work sim in it and only really use it for calls/sms/email
I have a zte blade (with CM7) that I use for most stuff.
I have MiniCM6 v5 also. Had serious reboots and then I decided to install Advanced Task Manager and since then I've not had reboots
Try it.
Hi there...
got the same question...
Tested about every custom ROM and no one is really stable.
When its stable then one bug for an example is only VGA Cam and i need my CAM.
So @the moment i see no chance for custom ROM and try the stock ROM with App2SD ;(
But its really hard from custom back to Stock

Really??? Thanks!
Custom roms always seem to have serious issues. Camera not working or with pathetic VGA resolution, random reboots, missing features.
I installed some rom once to test. You couldn't even switch mobile networks manually and that wasn't even listed into the "bugs" section. It seems people are too busy with themes, overclocking and bundling the best music player. They also forget that the screen is just 320x240 and it should be usable with just one thumb.
At least the stock rom had some basic testing done, even though there are some things that I don't understand how they can left it that way (eg. buggy calendar alarms).
I tried to convince a Sony Ericsson employee to try to get things fixed but all I got was the last sentence of my signature.
SonyBread V2.0 is the BEST ROM EVERRRRR!!! Its gingerbread plus it makes u feel like its a real gingerbread rom given by sony ericcsson themselves plus its fast and really stable!!!!

Like all the custom roms... stock camera ain't working but if u want gingerbread and a sony erriccson look and feel install the new sonybread v3.0 just released...now...lol enjoy minor bugs??? Hmmm not even significantly minor enuff to notice to b honest bt giv it a shot I promise its good
..::XDA RocK::..
SonyBread V2.0 has only VGA Cam and thats for me the "killing feature"
My Desire Z is good but the Cam quality is very bad, the X10 Mini Pro has a very good cam so i need ONE good cam and thats the reason not to install SonyBread V2.0
What I don't understand is that most you custom rom haters hate on custom roms disadvantages and make the smallest problem a major one.... if that's the case I'm sorry to say shut up and stick with android 2.1 while us custom rom ppl will enjoy the plus features of gingerbread sheeeeesh and if custom rom lacks this that this that and stock rom has everything why on earth are u lookin for a custom rom :/ be real.....

yeah farhandjobino's right. VGA camera is negligible in the scheme of things... you get Multitouch, Overclock, Battery Save, Overall Speed Increase, etc from using these roms. the only reason you'd get reboots has to do with your data. clean custom roms hardly reboot on virgin systems. so shove that in your pipe and smoke it, Custom ROM Hater Fags
