They are identical, built on the same engine, only the differences in design.
Sonybread is based on Android 2.3.5 and it looks like genuine ( original ) Sony Ericsson ROM ( blue screen, 4 corners with apps ). There is no ADW launcher.
MiniCM7 Pro is also based on Android 2.3.5, but it looks differently than Sony Ericsson ROM. It looks like, hmmmm, a Matrix phone. There is a ADW launcher.
In MiniCM7 Pro v7x battery last longer than in Sonybread 7 SP3. If Paul will fix battery drain issue on Sonybread, I recomend that ROM as it looks like a proper ROM from Sony Ericsson. Meanwhile, I recommend miniCM7 Pro because battery last longer.
Thank you for reading my post. Bye.

I agree. I have had problems with Sony Bread SP3 (bluetooth/gps/wifi) so I moved back to (and stayed with) MiniCM.

My experience is that SonyBread is much more stable. I havn't had a single reboot with this ROM over a period of 2 weeks. Had a 1 with minicm7 pro over a period of 2 weeks.
I started on this forum when Owain was still here pumping out daily updates for his ROM... havent posted much though
Firstly, BIG ups to the devs for their work on these ROMS. Although I have quite a few issues, I can honestly say that every rom Ive used, despite its issues, has been usable and has stayed on my phone very long (all except Sonybread, explanation to follow)
From the above, the only really bad issue ive experienced are reboots. From this, I can honestly say that the only time I have had these are at initial ROM setup eg on MiniCM6, I installed, then rebooted INTO CWM, then wiped twice, then rebooted into CWM and wiped twice again (kinda like my butt, but on my X10MP )to solve the issue. Each ROM Ive installed has had its drawbacks. Owain was pre- dualtouch; Slade_87s CM6 tends to develop a bad temper at initial install but mellowed after wiping its arse and if you install a theme it doesnt like and has some setup anomalies (easily addressed if you search); Pauls Sonybread looks like stock on steroids... but suffers from screen issues on my phone ie the screen becomes unresponsive and the only way to use the phone is to take the battery off (funny enough, the buttons all work fine!)
All the above are just opinions. As stated in another post, if you want useability, stability and support, stick with SE. However, if you want to be on the bleeding edge and actually us the superior hardware on your device (instead of paying for **** you hardly ever use), get a decent ROM from XDA. You might not get the paid support that SE will give and you might have to live with a few small issues, but you get WAY more than youve paid for!
That said, XDA DEVS have done sterling jobs. As I said, Ive tried a lot of ROMS.
Pauls Sonybread seemed like a really good rom for the week I had it on my phone. Random reboot aide, it was great. However, for some reason, if I happened to put the phone down with the screen downwards, the screen became unresponsive. The same happened if I put the phone in my pocket. Now, by unresponsive, I mean that the screen refused to respond to any input for about 20 minutes... then suddenly would respond to ALL keypresses during that time. Wierd. I have lost LOTS of business as a result and almost got my ass fired cos of missed calls... so till I can get this ROM working properly on MY device, its been relegated to my backup X10MP. Funny enough, its ben running on THAT device for about 3 days without incident (not even a reboot!)
On the other hand, CM7 wasnt Pauls ROM to start off with. Paul took over this ROM and has done a sterling job with it. I havent had a single issue with it and this ROM is currently running on the device I use on a day to day basis (I have a Nokia 3310 as backup... JSUT in case ). Besides the setup issues (you cant install a bloody thing till youve wiped a few times AFTER flashing the ROM), and the battery drain issues, I havent a single problem. Currently, it looks like the drain issue has been sorted. Im on 73% from full charge after 5H50Min22s (according to About Phone), which seems like quite along toime to me.
In essence, what Im saying is that all the ROMS have their bright spots and all have their faults. Personally, Im gonna stick with CM6. The thing is purely brilliant and meets my needs perfectly. I went from discovery to working perfectly in about 20 minutes... However, Ill be watching for FM Broadcast.apk (or .zip) and the first ROM to include this will definately get my vote.
YMMV. Dont forget the salt (just a pinch), a tampon (incase youre a bleeder), a lighter (cos where theres bull****, theres methane) and spare batteries (cos no matter WHAT you do, theres gonna be battery issues )
Regards,
Wingnut
I use MiniCM7 Pro v10 which all the minicm7 pro's from v7 onwards have always been very stable, i also use sonyblue 1.2 theme with the semchome.apk which gives the newer version of the SE 4 corners so that way i have the stability of MiniCM7 Pro v10 with the looks of sonybread
I still have ADW launcher aswell which i can switch back n forth between the 2
enlightening... thanks!

I was able to play with an X10 and I should say that the hardware is really nice and slick. It looks and feels great, and this is not unusual for SE.
The software, however, sucks big time. Not only it is Android 1.6 based, but it is quite sluggish (it just doesn't feel like a 1GHz Snapdragon device!) and has none of the HTC Sense widgets goodness, nor anything else (and don't even get me started with this strange "timescape" thing). Huge disappointment. Android 1.6 vanilla ROM would've probably been a better choice.
Therefore, the only reason I would consider this device is if I am able to flash a custom ROM on it. And since I REALLY like Sense, I'd love to see it on-board.
Has anyone heard if there are any upcoming X10 custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance!
Man dont wanna be rude but why don you read the other threads? Custom roms are only possible when rootin will be achieved. And atm its not possible. Hopefully in a month or so..but nothing for now. And its not sluggish at all.. Mine runs 20 apps and its v fast. Download some taskkiller if you havnt already.

.......................why dont you save yourself the trouble of putting a custom rom on it and just buy a htc?
I know installing roms is not rocket science. But it amazes me that done people can even do that.
Lol @ OP's
knowledge/reading fail.
@rayarny
Did you ever see it running next to a HTC legend? The legend is way smoother on the homescreen, like the fps count seems to be double that of the x10.

I happen to have both Legend and x10 (well.. actually the Legend is my wifes.)..
Legend smooth... maybe.. a tiny bit.. but it's also a much smaller screen so imperfections like that are more easily hidden.
Certainly NOT enough of a difference to affect the user experience.
This forum is getting out of hand. It is supposed to deal with Rom development.
Is there a moderator that can move the threads to general?

Please help me...
Just bought this phone (Sony Xperia x10) for my wife, after I smashed her Samsung galaxy S 4G during an argument last night. I ordered it overnight shipping so it should be here by Monday or Tuesday.
Now there were no custom roms out at the time she had her Galaxy 4G, so it was only rooted.
Yet after visiting the development section for this phone it looks like there are tons of roms being cooked up for this one, so I just wanted to get a few opinions on what roms are worth flashing? I'm looking for speed and stability above all. Its for my wife, so I want to be able to just flash something for her and never bother updating and flashing again for a month or two months at a time. Now if it were my phone I'd be flashing every other day! But that's only because I can handle bugs, beta testing, and known issues so on and so forth. Women though, they just want their phone to work, period. So what's the most stable rom to flash for the x10? Any insight, suggestions, heads up, and links would help, as I haven't got my hands on it yet, I want to go ahead and research as much as I can about it, so I can root, flash, and customize it for her right out of the box. Thanks.
cobratos miui is REALLY good...
Wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3 is also fantastic
I flashed cm 7 gb onto my gf's htc wildfire. Its completeley stable. She gets like 2 or 3 fc's every few days and guess what.......she still bloody moans lol.
Anyway back on topic....i vote for wolfs cm 6.1.3. Super stable, bug free and must be close to final release.
for stability i recommend z's freex10 roms
for eyecandy i recommend cobratos miui (my daily rom, fairly stable, has few bugs)
the stock 2.1 rom is not bad at all, just gotta optimize it a bit (remove bloatware, enable JIT, Sysctl, compucache, build.prop mods)....i think there are a few 2.1 roms with these mods already in place, however i havent used a 2.1 rom for a long time
if she wants take advantage of the nice camera on the x10, i recommend going the 2.1 route as the camera interface and quality is the best with stock 2.1 (IMO)

Since it is for your wife I recommend android 2.1. There are some nice girly themes out here for it, and she won't freak out of bugs.
Hi,
I've tested 5 roms :
-> original SE last update 2.1 : lot of lag
-> kX10 R2B001 - 03FEB1 : 2.1 rom modded : better than the official one : good but not for playing
-> 2.2.1 FROYO : very good but some bugs (like translation) and don't like the launcher, too slow for me : good for iphone lovers
-> Achotjan_Froyo_2.2.1 : 2.2.1 rom modded : the best for me : it's french lol -> Actually, found no bug, the best for me : very stable, better than the official, very fast (BB58)

i would recommend BlueSparks(2.1) Eminence(2.1) Eternity(2.1)
MIUI are good if you like the lay out of Iphone as that is what it looks like in respects..
Irun z's freex10 2.2b4 hotfix1 and data2sd. fast realiable basic... theme it with xfx10. and your done!
+1 for z freex10 beta 4 hotfix 1
Solid as a rock and lightning quick
For a little more customization I would recommend Wolfbreaks CM6.1.3
Maybe freex10 now and CM6.1.3 in a couple of months?? Just my opinion

vote for these two also, I'm using both as my daily roms.....
Use Trips MIUI (2.2.1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013210
Its the BEST MIUI rom with fully working camera and camcorder.
I am using it as daily rom. It is super fast and smooth.
many devs says here that ROM is perfect and EVERYTHING works,the problem is the with the definition of EVERYTHING,its differnt for every dev,for major roms you cant use camcorder so cant use goggles,bar code scanner ,video cam in all settings,there are some walk troughs and ways but then you cant call it everything
just go with 2.1,modify the stock one ,thats the best option
you broke the last phone....if there are too many lags,your wife will smash the phone this time
for us its all ok,for your wife dont take any chance!!!

Not all women just want their phones to work, period Some of us can flash our own ROMs. I used z's Freex10 but prefer wolf's CM 6.1.3 since it's very fast and good on battery. However different people have different problems with the ROMs they flash and it's worth paying attention to instructions
I strongly recommend you take look at this thread: talk.sonyericsson.com/message/59415 . It has many good ROM's for the X10 with some good feedback.
I have personally tried the stock ROM with JIT enabled and removed bloatware (did everything needed to make it quick) it worked good but the battery life sucked. Then tried FreeX10 and its pretty good and quick but yet again battery life wasn't any better than the stock one. Then tried CM by Wolfbreak and its pretty darn good. Battery life is def better and so is speed.
Im going to be honest with you none of these ROM's are even close to perfect. They all have slight bugs, all force close once in a while.
So here's my advice, if your wife isnt exactly tech savy + likes to use features such as the camera and wifi alot than stick to the stock ROM and wait for SE's update this year.
If she is a problem solver (isnt afraid of using google to solve any problems she has) and doesnt want a phone that lags to often and has good battery life than go for Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3. Although wifi and camera can pose problems sometimes on this ROM
Hope this helps

I feel like you guys are feeding him misinfo, I haven't had any force closes on either of the roms I posted, they were/are completely stable.
Hey guys, so i just got an X10 yesterday. It's my first smartphone (had an HP Ipaq Winmobile 6.5 previously). Right now it's running CM 6.5 I believe, that's how I bought it. I have two simple questions, please.
1) What's a good screen cover? Should I just go to the nearest "we have everything" store and pick up a matte screen protector, or should I get a specific one? I leave it in my pocket and no screen protector is a big no-no!
2) What is the best ROM (and kernel??) for me to get, if I have the following needs:
i) Fast. Right now it feels pretty blazing to be honest!
ii) Multi-touch please!!! I really don't like how X10 has no MT!
iii) Need Wi-Fi and GPS (I don't have a data plan)
iv) Need camera support for apps. I use camera a lot, the current ROM doesn't allow apps to use camera really, and there's no support for the front-facing camera (is that even a camera?)
v) Ideally gingerbread, but I don't care as long as it meets other requirements.
vi) Flash, again, no biggy.
vii) Support for apps, including, if possible, 3D games. Video codecs are a must. I tried hero of sparta just for fun and it didn't work it said closed unexpectedly)
viii) If possible, as free of bugs as can be. Right now my touchscreen gives out sometime, nothing major but annoying.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I know I'm basically asking you to do everything for me, but I have owned the phone for 12 hours and besides not knowing anything, am spending all my time trying to get my phone company not to charge me $25 to make put my data on a SIM.
I'll do my best to figure everything else out myself, I just need help figuring out which ROM (and if need be, kernel) I should use on the X10.
THANKS!!!
in your case the best option would be to just install the Sony ericsson software on your computer and do an update, it will install the latest most stable version of Android for your device (Froyo 2.1) then just use a flashtool to root it if you want. This will enable you to have full features with minimal bugs.

Wow, FAIL, sorry!
I'm running 6.1.3 right now, v4.5 and kernel version 2.6.29 SEMCuser...
Is that fine? Should I just leave it? I'm fine with a few hiccups if this is the best possible for now...
Also, I have yet to unlock the phone. Can I do it while it's in a custom rom or do I need to reset to factory? From Rogers to Bell.
Thanks.

Yeah you can totally unlock on any rom, just put the other companies sim card into the phone!!
I would say maybe update to the latest version of wolfbreak's rom, but you could also try freex10 beta 4 or cobrato's miui, depending on what style you like.
They're all complete, and I have no issues with any of them.
The speed you will gain from a 2.2 rom vs. a 2.1 rom is insane, plus apps2sd and other benefits.
I don't think you could pay me to go back to 2.1...
Also, get vignette from the market for the cam. It's awesome

Cool. I'll give them all a shot at some point, right now I'm trying out CM so we'll see how it goes, might just try their respective versions of 2.3 if it comes out soon.

I got Retro Movie Player instead, will try vignette

Oh yeah it plays them well actually!!
Wolfbreaks played pretty well every thing I threw at it.
You can even get the HD version of games and it runs them perfectly.
Vignette is just for the camera, not for the camcorder. It takes amazing pics though (hardly compresses them) and has a TON of effects.
Yes, I agree with wolf's latest rom and cobrato's miui rom, both are fast,smooth and stable. I use both of them regularly. If you choose cobrato's rom and don't like the UI being like iPhonish, you can instal GO Launcher EX and it will even fly (that what I do with cobrato's rom). In fact with wolf's rom also I'm using GO Launcher EX as a replacement of Arc Launcher (really don't like that launcher).
Ok, wolf it is then seeing it's unanimous!
What about the screen protector...do either of you use it? I'm just careless with putting my phone next to my keys and stuff...

HAHA my bad, had a long night last night. sorry for the confusion.
Wolfbreak is amazing ROM...i switched from freex10 beta 4 hotfix 1, and wolfbreak's ROM just totally amazes me. Partly because he's the only one that tweaks the build props. I got a whopping 1504 on my quadrant score!
Vignette is good camera replacement as the member above me said (personally, i never use the camera)
HD games...i can play almost any gameloft HD game on my x10, BIA2, Asphalt 5, Modern Combat 2, Real Football e.t.c... just not good cos the dual touch on the x10 is very dodgy. Oh yeah, download the game guerrilla bob...its my favourite game.
Keep in mind before flashing the wolfbreak rom, u need to flash the required baseband (for me, its baseband 58) via flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Instruction HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343&page=44
Also in xrecovery wipe cache partition, dalvik cache and do a full factory reset, as well as a system backup, instructions in wolfbreak's ROM thread.
Oh btw: the x10 already has a screen protector; its factory and its put on perfectly incase you dint notice, otherwise you can buy those others on ebay, i bought ten for like 3 bucks (aussie)
Make sure you put it on properly to avoid bubbles, use credit card to squash bubbles. e.t.c

Just installed MiniCM7 Pro v15. Did all the usual stuff for installation(which usually turns out great). Also flashed back to the stock kernel(link for download provided in the MiniCM7 Pro dev thread) but the rom feels really slow. Like syrup so to speak. Any one else having this problem? Possible solution/fix?
Would have posted as commentary in the MiniCM7 Pro dev thread, but haven't posted enough posts yet to post in dev forum

I've been expecting a more stable version of the MiniCM7 Pro than the V9, and seems like, every version that comes out brings more and more problems.
Seems so. Noticed more having performance issues with the new version. Good recommandation: GinTonic.SE v2 with the zombie panic kernel. Fast as hell ^^ Been testing it for a while now, and seems very stable and reliable

Thank you, I'll give it a try after work. Cuz i'm getting tired of CM7 Pro
well i'm still sticking to v12 (cause v13 14 15 have serious issues). it's fast it's stable it's battery life is amazing. everything works what i'm using without a hitch. Dunno what else i'm expecting from later versions ... but still i'm waiting it's now like a disease for me
Me too. No offence to the devs, but the rom is looking hopeless at the moment. Love the themes on it tho
i don't have anything against devs they are doing a good job. it's we who are getting impatient so don't start blaming them for this and remember what they already did for our minis when i installed v12 i thought i got a new phone. other roms work good and are really fast and stable but MiniCM7 pro satisfied all my needs.
No one is blaming the devs. But as you said, pretis, we are getting impatient. All of the devs have done a great job, but now, the MiniCM7 Pro is really messed up
You guys have encouraged me to give it a chance to V12, I'm alredy downloading it, I'll tell you later if everything is going well, and by the way, I'm not blaming the devs, they're doing an amazing job, I can't even think of myself using Android 2.1 again in my cellphone, any rom with bugs is waaaay more better than that.
I'll install V12 and wait until a more stable version is released.
P.S. I'm dying to have 10 posts to be able to thank the devs in the dev forums.
Thank you all I don't feel alone on this.. I've spend 1 week testing almost every gingerbread release from CMpro, DX & gin tonic, using the lasts kernel each time... and the more I'm testing the more I consider it is not usable on a daily basis. Main concerns to me are:
- battery life, compared to stock, it's difficult to keep 24h where stock is no issue with same sync/option on ...
- it lags! sometime it's lightning fast to go to home page and switch to the phone app, sometime you wait ages ...
- screen brightness is a mess (even If I've check multiple option and the posts about setting up custom level) still compared to stock SE, when you're out in the street on a shiny day you wait ages for the screen to adapt, where the stock 2.1 just works perfectly
- delay for lock screen or schema screen to show, with brightness issue... When you click on the on button on the stock, the screen just light up with good brightness and you can slide, on the 2.3.x, it lag and then brightness is slow to go tot the right level and then you can slide ...
- video capture, lag, when you film, capture freeze sometimes ...
- FM radio issues: frequencies written in unreadable green, name of station overlapping with freq.
All these to say, after more than 35 flash or all Dx, CMpro & GT from v8 to v15, feeling is that it's getting worst ... That's said, I'm more than happy to do those testing, yet I was wondering if any of you guys are really using those ROM on a daily basis without a second phone aside ?
I've turned back to 2.1 with go launcher and titanium backup to remove all SE crap tool/software and I'm quite happy with the phone ... I'll wait for 2.3.5 to be brightness bug free and battery proof.
Regards,
Benoit

For brightness, adjust it manually. Not only does it save power(if you set it to not more than you need at all times), but you also more or less get the light you need instant.
At the moment, Im using the lastes GinTonic with the zombie panic kernel, and I have to say that Ive not encountered any problem with it yet!
Even the lifetime of the battery is superior to the stock rom, and I tried a lot with the stock one before going for custom rom permanently.
This phone is used on a day to day basis and the only second phone I have avaible is somewhere in my basement
how many of you still using stock 2.1 ROM ?
Sometimes if I've screwed up my phone (rare) I'll get back on the stock ROM and I kind of like it. I think the stock SE style is elegant and beautiful, and I like many of the stock apps. I just like the features of 2.3 and the inbuilt efficiency of 2.3 etc. I always try to get some stock SE styles on the newer ROMS, and try hard to get as many stock apps as possible.
Unless I'm slightly dim and missed something, I CANNOT use the stock Cyanogen calendar without connecting to the internet. That is NOT a calendar option. Having to connect to the internet to just look at a date is just stupid and not a benefit from the stock ROM.

I had minicm7 for while but I went back to stock, besides the stability I just missed the UI
I just hate stock 2.1 and how it looks and feels. MiniCM7 2.1.3 w/ stock kernel is a LOT faster and generally better than 2.1 ever was/will be. My phone is as stable as it can be. I have left it at stock overclock which is 691Mhz and it NEVER reboots.
Only time it does reboot, is when I force it to.
I still use it, but is because both xRecovery and CWM have problems. Tried everthing to make it work again, but nothing happens.
There are no problems with CWM and x10 mini pro.
A better version of the original UI (theme, launcher) can be found on the newer ROMs like MiniCM7 and Gintonic.

I do is a lot more faster!!
Probably this is just about the x10 mini, not pro. But i guess, the preinstalled OS and software are pretty much the same, although i had a 1.6 when i bought it.
I was using this for a quite long time, roundabout one year, as i was a bit uncertain to brick my device in case i screw up or don't read something carefully enough.
But on a boring day i went and gave it a try (MiniCM7 pro, iirc it was right when V14 was released). While fearing as f*ck during installation process and waiting until complete (showing no errors - YES ), i was totally happy afterwards. So no, i would never ever switch back to the standard software which Sony Ericsson released with this phone. It was slow, battery consuming and it had way less features than the custom ROM i'm using now. I'm happy with that.
I'm surprised by some of the responses - the thread title is primarilly aimed at those who use the original SE (at least a little or all of the time). No where in the title do I see an invitation to complain about stock 2.1 and advertise about the brilliance of other ROMs. Seriously, re-read the title...
Sorry for that - i thought the thread kind of indicated a discussion of why or why not use the stock rom. No offense meant
Still use the default ROM
I kinda like the ROM that originally came with the mobile, and still use it.
I ROOTed the mobile though, within one month of purchase, as the battery was a serious problem (due to autoruns).
After Rooting, I am able to get at least 1 day of battery.
There was even a time when the battery lasted for three days before it came to 5%.
(I put my phone on charge only when it reaches 5% or below )

XPERIA X10 mini
(Rooted)
i only use stock when a custom rom is somewhat unstable then once a new release of one of my favorite roms come out i run for it and install it immediately and test it. if the rom is stable enough i keep it and stick with it.
for now i use stock rom until gintonic or minicm7 pro is stable enough to use it in all its features.
i'm planning to try gintonic 2.5.1 to continue testing of it
From the moment i buy this amazing phone i didn't like that blue background. At the moment i use mod black v 1.6 from flex96 and when slade87 add Zombiepanic to his rom gin tonic.SE. I'll use this one

I hate the Stock version
I have miniCM7-2.1.3 and a HTC sense Theme it´s much better then the Stock
I like stock rom because of radio, timescape, works all the applications, no lag etc but i have minicm7 because i need dsp and ultra brightness (especially the second is very important here in Greece with the sun) so ..
