[Q] Screen Colours and ROMs - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
i am sorry that i asking it, but i looked throw forum and didn't find theme about it.
What i have found if i using stock based roms i have true 16m colours in TEAM ROM for example.
But if i installing CM 7.x based roms, i have ugly 64k colours, it is terrible in gradient.
With some MIUI based i have 16m, and with some others MIUI based just 64k it is strange
in some MIUI ROMA it depends of launcher for example OODIE PRIME ROM, LAUNCHER has just 64k colours, and if i installing other one (like GO, or Nemus) it has 16m colours...
i don't understand the reason, I wants to move on CM7 based ROM, but the colours of screen stops me

Um, how have you determined which rom has 16 mil vs 64 k? I'm pretty sure that no rom has ever been able to enable the red Herring that is 16 mil color on the x10.
Then again you might know something that I don't...

Don't have 16M colours in any rom or launcher.
You just don't. I suggest you read up a bit on what 16M colours, and colour depth in general, is. You most likely have the wrong idea.

Hello!
Thanks for answers
so, i made a screenshots

have you see the differents in gradient zone of picture? (
and the same picture on every CM7 based ROMs (
may be it is not 16m/65k, but they are differents in bad way
and on OODIE MIUI I don't have this problems with colours
i just wants to understand, and i wanted to move on CM7 rom

I heard SE tweaked the colors on 2.3 update(not increased) so maybe thats why it looks better to you in stock based roms
This is me suposing, not 100% sure but thats what i heard

Stock 2.1 Vs FreeX10 2.2 Vs CM 6.1.3 V4.1 Vs Gingerbread

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!!

[Q] What is the difference between Cobrato's MIUI and Tripnraver's MIUI??

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.

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

[Q] Specific ROM fitting this criteria

I've tried around 5-6 ROMs. My two favorite ones so far are Wolfbreak's TW007 and EWJet xKernal. I have noticed that EWJet xKernal has a smooter UI but not as great battery life compared to Wolfbreak's TW007. (Also the fact that the latter is 2.2)
I'm looking for the best ROM that fits these criteria:
- It doesn't have to have the smoothest of UIs. I don't need to be able to literally blow the screen to flip homescreens.
- I want something that is FPS uncapped.
- It has to have an improved battery life and tweaks.
- I do not mind an ugly user interface or ones that are very easy to navigate. I do not mind learning new things so long as I don't have to climb mount everest to navigate through.
- I do a lot of gaming, so something that has less lag during gaming would be much appreciated.
- I prefer the ROM to come without it's own custom music app like EWJet's UberMusic. I bought PowerAMP and I'm loving it.
- It does not have to have the best camera or video camera ever. I don't often record stuff but I do often take pictures of things.
- I want a ROM whose creator is frequently working on improving the ROM and making it much better.
That and a few more trivial matters that I don't need to put on here. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Maybe try cobratos formels miui rom? V4 has the new zkernel included which unlocks the fps cap. Just flash bb 67 then try his rom. I tried it....its pretty sweet.
Anyone else? 80 views and only one reply

Gingerbread is comming this august! Every1 is waiting for it and just doing minor fixes.
stick with WB's and get launcher pro, it allows you to rotate the home screen and looks great because it is whatever you want it to look like. it's free, but i bought it for the extra features. I made mine look like windows with custom icons and a windows wallpaper =D

Does Wolfbreak's TW 007 have FPS uncap?
And how about Ultima 4? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095637
Tw 007 does not have fps uncapped but does have best battery life of the roms i've tried.

[Q] What rom do you use and why?

Well hello everyone. I was wondering what rom you use and why. Personally, I use Alien, because I like the green theme and the stability. What about you?
There are literally a BILLION topics on this already.... Literally... A BILLION!
I use CM7 pb3. Its stable (except camera) as far as I have seen. And you can use some of the qhd themes from what I've been told.
I tried Alien and Aura and many others... None had Hotspot working for me Except CherryBlur and Stock ORFR... Currently running my own Custom ROM based on CherryBlur..
Crust .7 is for me. Do it yourselfer that performs well with fingerprints and most of all webtop & Ubuntu customization. If i didn't care about what webtop brings to the table or scanning my prints I'd go cm7 probably. Tried everything but π crust is for me. An there are billions but i don't feel like I'm feeding ^_^

[Q] Crysis SensatioN ROM or CyanogenMod 7 or MIUI?

Now that CM7 is stable, what do you prefer to use between these roms?
I'm using Crysis' work because of its fantastic looks, but everyone is cheering for the CM.
Whats the pros and the cons for each rom? And for the MIUI, whats so special about it?
I'm not negative towards any rom and respect each developer but trying to see the difference more clearly.

i tested both 3 rom and i prefer miui.
crysis's sensation : good looking touchwiz rom .. but that's all
cm7 : pure google experience with performance. now stable , with more customization. have many themes out there to be flash.
miui : for me , this is the best rom if you find a "good-looking" rom. it have many theme to be download , customize (with your own style) , lock screen , and it's stable too. miui is easier to download theme because no need to be flash , just download and change .. it also have various lockscreens , you named it.
i suggest you test all the rom , your own experience is better than my suggestion.
You're comparing 3 totally different roms, and i do mean totally different.
I haven't tried the sensation rom but just looking at its thread it looks extremely good for a samsung rom, cm7 on the other hand is pretty plain looking but can be polished up, while miui on the other hands puts every rom to shame in the looks department... however its the slowest of all the roms.
And im not talking about in benchmarks, im talking about responsiveness especially when launching apps. I've been using miui for months now and simply hate that its so laggy when launching apps. Sometimes i have to wait 1 second after i tap it for it to actually start, i've gotten tired of the lag so i switched to cm7... every app launches instantly no matter what.
You really have to try them all because they're all so different, just do a cwm backup incase you don't like the rom so you can switch back with no fuss.

Totally agree and just one point from me.Take care of the kernel you are using when flashing between those roms.I think siyah is compatible with the 3 of them

So for one who isn't interested in optimizing and adding stuff all the time, which one is more stable or easy to go at?
And how about battery life, which has the longest?
