my phone has the following details
uk on 3
firmware 2.1 update1
baseband 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29
build number 2.1.a.0.435
what i want to know is what should i do now???? i would like to install a new rom.
which one do i choose.... there are many threads with links here, there, and everywhere and i am finding it confusing, i am new to this and would appreciate any help and advice that you could part to a willing and eager x10i user.
i would prefer to use/have a fully working rom inc camera and video playback.
i understand this will limit my options,
i dont mind using a stripped down stock rom.
thanks in advance for any help
It is possible for you to get 2.2, but dont know which version is the best, thinking rdannar or what he's called. it doesn't have a functioning cam, but you can get that from apps.

mmmh the camera works in most of the roms but the quality really isnt great. there is a 2.1custom stripped down se rom which im using and that is full functional and much faster than the standard se. just go through the 1st to pages on the android development and take your pick, they all list whats working and whats not.the 2.1 roms will mostly be fully functional
i got my x10a last week on friday an within 12 hurs rooted 1.6 installed 2.1.a.0.435 rooted that installed Root Explorer, xRecovery,hunnycomb 2.1 rom.
used this to install new F/W

Well.
Have you considered the applications you can use?

Regarding ROMS: If you paint a SAAB blue, it doesn´t become a Volvo. Some parts of the 2.2> roms still uses big parts o the 2.1-update 1 firmware and it uses the same bootloader
thanks guys for all the replys and links. i have just used the go3easys rom
Hello Guys
First off thank you to everyone for all your hardwork
I am having a problem finding the best Gingerbread rom and the correct basebands that work. I have tried a few and more often than not i have problems with random reboots and error messages. I would like to know which people find out there work the most stable and which combo of rom and basebands please
I have also wondered with Android been an OS for all models of phones can you install a rom on an X10i (my model handset) that has been made and is basically stable as F8*k for example a HD Desire or model that would work on X10i. I think i may know the answer and that been that it isn't possible but i want to ask anyway just to clarify
Lastly a very big thankyou to everyone for all there hard work and time put into the development of the roms so that we can all update our phones when SE couldn't even release updated roms for us. Personally i think it was a case of they didn't release 2.3 for X10i as they had the Arc coming out and 2.3 was probs it's biggest selling point.
Marti
Cyanogen CM7.0 RC4 v013 Gingerbread 2.3.3 is the only one I think... arc rom is not really maintained and was more of just a test. you need BB .52 . for me v013 rebooted a lot, but I am going to try v014 later
Hello
Gopdemon thanks for your reply
I have tried both of what you suggested with no luck :-(
I think maybe it's a problem with the baseband rather than the rom?
The GB ROM is unstable right now, even with the custom kernel. I would stick to 2.2 since its like 99-100% done. But you can try this:

Mister J thanks for the link. Thats the rom i am currently on
Thank You
Thanks to everyone that replied. I am now trying to work out which MIUI roms are best with best baseband but always running into issues :-( typed by Kate on behalf of Marti
EDIT: As of August 1, 2011 - CF-Root can now be used for KPN together with its features and mods such as the use of ext4 filesystem and apps2SD.
For more details on this development, go here. Thanks to ketut.kumajaya for making CF-Root compatible to 2.3.3 KPN.
---Original Post---
I have just noticed that almost all dev, Scripts, modification, ROMs coming in for our phone (GT-S5830) is based on XXKPH or 2.3.4. While this is actually good and finally the Galaxy Ace forum is not a legacy forum anymore, I still believe that it would be so much better if there will be a ROM, modification, or customized improvement that will be done using 2.3.3 (KPL or KPN or the upcoming official FW from Samsung on 2.3.3)
Why 2.3.3? (Just because KPH is 2.3.4 doesn't mean that it's better)
It's an official release.
Samsung has improved and fixed quite a number of issues found on previous builds of 2.3.3 (KPN) and even on the leaked 2.3.4 (KPH). This includes the wake-up lag an Wifi Sleep of Death.
2.3.3 is already available via KIES (as of KPE build)
2.3.3 might be improved further. As you may notice, for now, the European countries are getting the 2.3.3 (KPE - Russian, KPK - Still a European Release, KPL - Poland, KPN - Spain). Imagine when it becomes available in KIES in America and Asia. There might be new bug fixes and improvements.
The reasons above makes 2.3.3 KPL, KPN a more stable version of Gingerbread for the Ace already. Actually, IMO it is really the most stable firmware for the Ace.
Most of all, 2.3.4 KPH might not be continued until the next Android version for Smartphones (which could probably take years before it reaches Galaxy Ace)
Current ROM on 2.3.3.
Currently, VillainROMv1 is the only ROM for the Ace that is based on 2.3.3 (KPE). It may not be one of the fastest custom ROMs out there for the Ace but it's one of the most stable because of using 2.3.3 as its base.
Still, even if this is the case, it would still be nice to have a new custom ROM based on 2.3.3 (probably KPN or newest build when it's released) because at the end of the day, a stable and fast ROM is what everyone is looking for.
Maybe if I don't work, I may have tried on cooking a ROM for 2.3.3 (KPN) but for now, let this post be an inspiration for devs and scripters to have a look at the latest official release of Samsung firmware for the Ace.
Your Opinion
What do you think? Have you tried using 2.3.3 KPN? Have you tried using custom ROMs built on KPH? Which ROM or firmware is more stable and faster?
What's the greatest combination that worked for you and lasted on your phone for more than 1 week?
i absolutely agree with above - not just because it's official etc. it's LATEST officially tested and released firmware, meaning there's quite a chance sammy fixed sth really annoying like infamous SOD's (and also screwed up elsewhere as usual ) but there always some 'but'...
the whole rom development goes forward along with new builds and usually it's progress (although many would point out kph 2.3.4 -> kpl/n 2.3.3 is not)
other teams, other roms - it is the same story. but it's just point to release new custom versions based on newer builds instead of postponing all development while waiting for THE very last build... let it grow
Yeah atlast we are out of Legacy thing......deserving the right place...... Thanks XDA mods
Using KPN atm. No more random screenshot issues and general stability and speed has improved. Also Three in the U.K are meant to be suppling the 2.3 upgrade next week. So a generic U.K release cannot be far off.

I'm using the latest brazilian FW 2.3.4 and I don't have any wifi sod's, random screenshots or whatever. Actually, I don't care about official FWs, it's nice, but I want CM7!

P.s. The only real difference in 2.3.4 is video call, which we cant use anyways...

Never knew that the random screen shot was a bug. Encountered a couple of those while in KPH.
Hope someone develop a custom rom based on KPN..
I've been using 2.3.4 KPH for almost 2 months now and (lucky me) I have not experienced any SODs, WiFi crash or something like that.
The upcoming GingerReal seem to use 2.3.4 as its base, CMIIW.

Of course of course. I'm actually thankful that there are a lot of great Custom ROMs now for the Ace like FirstUA and even gingerreal even if it's just in t5b release.
Just saying that it would be nice to have Custom ROMs as well for the KPN at least since it seems like a lot of bugs has been fixed in KPN like the fluctuating/stuck 3g connection (I dont get that now in 2.3.3)
Also, just like the posts above me, the UK version is probably coming very soon. (English FW for the win!) Which could be a good base for Custom ROMs since it's already in english.
Last but not the least, it would be really nice to have a Custom ROM based on KPN or whatever the build for UK firmware will be that does not need a lot of things to do because right now, my friends don't want to flash to a custom rom because they are afraid that they may brick their phones because there are so many things to do in order to flash.
well, lot to do to flash custom from stock, me feel the same that's why i'm rather waiting for tested good custom (gingerreal possibly?) with good tutorial and howto. patience pays back i reckon.
+1 for a KPN based custom rom.
wifi bug is the most annoying!
what modifications are compatible with KPN firmware?
i'm talking about cf-root, dta2sd, juwe's script, the works!
Hi guys,
i'm using KPH now for over a month and i like it very much till now. Im using it because there's a lot of mods and stuff for it at the moment and the near future, that make it even better.
As 4 stability; i think al latest 2.3.3 GB builds are even (only lang. are different i think), but don't know about KPH because it was an earlier release as the 2.3.3 builds. There could be bugs in it indeed, that are gone in 2.3.3 builds, but only time will tell as the builds are to new to tell already.
Maybe in time i will flash my phone to the Dutch firmware when it comes out or use the UK version of 2.3.3, but till then i will stay at 2.3.4.
Cheers!
I may be able to give you a KPN CWM ROM gimme a day or two.

Looking forward to that.
I'm like Saminos. I use this phone most of the time for internet because of work and I'm always traveling. But still, it would be better to see ROMs based on probably the most stable firmware release of Samsung so far.

hi guys,
I hope somebody here could help me - I'm looking for the most stable ROM + Gapps for my old baseband P500. I really use it for work, so I cant afford to have it crash. I already have it rooted and installed recovery just yesterday from ROM Manager.
I installed a few different ROMs, but they are not stable. I have heard of other ROMs like PerfectPeso, etc. but it seems either the dev has quit or it has gone new baseband only. On facebook, I read about some people talking about CosmicExperia 3.5.. but not sure about that. I would have preferred gingerbread based ROMs, but hey... beggars cant be choosers.
On top of that, mediafire is no longer working, so I have even fewer working links now.
If you guys have some recommendations, could you please, please point me to download links as well ?

you need to update to stock 2.3 you can do with lg updater tool or kdz updater also if if you don't want to update then you can install mik os cm7.1 or A8 and you can install any obb(old baseband) or you can flash old baseband fix patch you can find this patch on p500 forum but make sure 1st install rom then flash patch
any links to those roms you mentioned i've used the search and can't find which to use like do i just copy and paste on sd card then load with clockwork mod manager to reflash the phone and when you say add a patch how do i do that ? sorry if this is too much of a bother for you but how else are we to learn?
i just figured it out thx for all your help
