Would flashing the GB ROM count? If not I just had to get that Honeycomb battery indicator and native screen capture mods.
Quad booting between a Runnymede ROM, CM7 ROM, MIUI ROM and a ridiculously themed CM7 ROM.

I recently acquired an X10a and I quickly upgraded it to 2.1. I'm using LauncherPro and so far, I'm loving the phone except for a couple of issues:
1) No matter what keyboard I use, it's really slow. I'm a fast typist and so far Swype and SwiftKey seem to work a lot more slowly than on my Samsung vibrant.
2) when I receive picture messages, and tap on the picture to view it in Mediascape, nothing happens. The only way I can view the picture is with Astro.
Any suggestions?
Finally, I'd love to upgrade to Froyo. My ideal ROM would be close to stock Froyo that's reliable and gets good battery life, nothing fancy.
Thanks everyone

Installing jit v2 should help the stock rom but if you wanna upgrade I suggest Z's beta 4 if you want vanilla or a lot of people use wolfbreaks if you want a prettier alternative. Note: do not install jit in froyo roms as it is already included and will cause problems if you install it again.

Edit- ok, stock 2.1 is tons better. What's the easiest way back?
Actually, you'll really love it with Wolfbreak's FroYo ROM. Flash it and let it settle a few days and it's hella snappy with awesome battery performance. But the batt performance sadly is only if you can live without timescape, in my expperience. Flashing his ARC Timescape made the phone hela LAGGY and the battery burned off 1% a minute. I deleted all the TS stuff and it went back to awesomness.
Also I personally like sicNside's Lucid theme for WB's ROM, but there's a catch there as well. It'll modify some system apps. Bad thing because itll take away the awesome phonebook/dialer from ARC. I have, however, redone the zip for Wolf's ROM to make it not do that.
That's my $0.02

Awesome ROM i'm using right now is Freex10 Beta 4 (Android 2.2), with the video recorder fixed. The ROM is stable and excellent. Runs really fast.

If you want a really good looking ROM, try the Bitsnacker 2.1 rom. It is basically the stock rom with the bitsnacker blue glow theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005636
If you mean THEMES, check the bitsnacker theme out for the x10 which works on android 2.1 stock and 2.2 Free X10 Beta 4 (for Freex10 ignore first post, check the second half way down the screen)

I like the theme of the Aura very much, but I like the features of the DarkSide.
Does anysome can take the theme from Aura ROM, and flash it on DarkSide ROM???
Aura and darkside are pretty much identical ROMs with exception of darkside getting an update recently.
Just use aura in that case.

As long as there isn't anything specific in either ox the Rims depending on the following files, just use adb to backup the originals and put the m in the proper place.
LatinIME.api
SystemUI.api
framework-res.api
blur-res.api
moto-res.apk
And any other system apps that were themed
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
they are both identical, DarkSide uses Auras ROM but highly customized.
Actually guys, the Darkside ROM has the landscape HDMI mod baked into the ROM so there is one feature that isn't present in Aura yet.
Actually there is the reason
I think you can just install Darside and a blue artic theme or another theme here...
Hi everyone...
I'm looking for a ROM that is clean, fast, stable, enables 14 toggle in the pulldown menu and overclocking would be nice. I like the look of the stock UI and everything so not into huge custom themes. What do you folks recommend?
Also, I'm a little confused on one aspect. I know I have to be rooted but do I have to have a custom kernel (like hellcats?)
I have been using check rom since i got my sgs 2 its good , close to stock (with removed useless apps from sammy), comes with options to install different kernel,themes,dialers... etc.
For better Battery backup i suggest use 4 seasons rom but its a themed rom not close to stock.
For first time rooting you need to have CF-root kernel.

I've used SensatioN ROM, MIUI & CyanogenMod.
MIUI should fit you just fine, though you'll have to get an overclocking app.
MIUI 1.12.9 has given me the best battery backup & benchmarks till now.

MIUI has at least 12 toggles in pulldown menu, I'm not sure, but It's also heavily themed

Simple & Clean 2.4.3
Hi! You might also want to check simple and clean - it offers multiple toggles in the pull down menu, and is fast, stable and bloat-free - many stock apks have been removed and the whole experience is streamlined and close to stock.

I thought all of the ROMs had some bugs as well until I installed RC6. Runs way nicer than my phone did stock. Much faster, dramatically less force closes, etc.
I think you're better off just running this with saurom rather than expecting someone to custom make this for you.
ok cool,,now ics is out,,i gotta check that out,,lol
Guys i've started this thread to discuss about stock and cm based custom roms
1)which is better in what way
2)battery life
3)gaming performance
4)tweaks available for each
i felt that there is no thread related to this that's why started one
for battery, stock is the best
Stock FTW
Better battery,stable,camera,dialer,music and mms are very good.
Personally I miss tw goodies like integrated task manager button,camera and music player in CM7 so Stock is better for me
Yeah stock is stable, but so is cm7.
However, you miss out on the newer features offered in the cm9/ cm10 /aokp/ paranoid android roms.
I'm using PAC by nims11.
The main reason I personally prefer cm7 over stock is multitasking. On stock if I am using one application and switch to another, then switch back, my place is lost and often the first app has been killed and has to restart. That might be why cm7 supposedly uses more battery (I don't notice a difference personally, but I use my phone a lot)
I'm also not a fan of touchwiz and prefer the customization of cm7.
I love trying new roms no matter what the android version; 2.3.6, 2.3.7, 4.0 or 4.1
Kudos to all the Dev's working hard to make my old crappy ace awesome!

CM7 is best..
A little bit battery drain than stock but has more costomization for daily use..also has no bugs.. all the things is working and stable..
Actually our opinions always have a touch of personal experience. Some people use the stock based just the way they are & some people tweak it more. I've seen that the sgs II v10.1 has a great multi tasking capability ( atleast for me...) . Kranti.ace has really brought out a revolution as his name says. His rom is pretty smooth & he's promising further improvisation. What else to expect? Just the devs to bring out the better of what's already best...
I used to have beautiful life before. Now I'm in engineering...!
Completely correct.
