Hi guys
I have searched on the forum and noticed that their are allot of great Roms out their. I wanted to know if any one can assist me pointing me in the right direction in choosing a Rom that will suit the following needs and resolve some issues that I am currently experiencing.
Issues
Frequently when I receive a call my phone rings but I have no option of answering the phone (phone doesn't recognize that I am receiving a call)
Some times only the bottom part of the touchscreen functions
When I am charging the phone it goes haywire if I Unlock it (while charging), the phone activates functions randomly as if some one is just pushing randomly on functions on the screen.
The network coverage some times just disappears, only after placing the phone into air Airplane Mode and then switching Airplane Mode off again does the network coverage come back on again.
I frequently get an error especially when browsing (as well as on apps on random) where a pop up screen appears that request to force close the application ("The Application Call log extension (process com. sonyericsson.eventstream.callogplugin" has stopped unexpectedly). Please try again.), even though when you force close the application nothing happens and the app continues operating as usual.
Other Than that most applications function correctly (WiFi/3G/Camera (no zoom or flash)) and all other recent aps such as evernote etc.). Though the phone still has a dreaded battery life of a day/2 days if lucky and is laggy.
Need
I require a mod that offers "reliability" while still allowing the functionality regarding the essentials (wifi/3G/camera(using google camera)/Web/mail/business applications ex evernote/dropbox etc.) - (cant have a client calling me and the phone cuts out or I cant answer or the phone, mysteriously freezing requiring a reboot)
Phone (Specs)
Model Number : X10i
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 2.1.54
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1

Thank you very much in answering this thread sorry for not being more brief, if there is another link or post that I should be looking at I would appreciate if you can reply and submit it.
Really is available very much ROMs, each of them has the advantages and you should choose. For the beginning, install and test an official SE 2.3.3
After that there will be a possibility to install unofficial ROMs and to compare with each other.
am running ewjet 2.3 rom had it for a while now and love it smooth fast and well themed try it
Wolfbreak is very stable rom. Also T.E.A.M. rom is very stable choice. It depend a bit on personal preference though just have a mess arqound c which suits u best.

Hi, this thread is here for posts that has no room in technical discussion related to this rom. From tech discussion, irrelevent posts will be deleted without excuse, without reason. So here's the correct place for them...
Well done
I just wanted to say well done for the new fast clean rom. I'm finally over 2.5!
Everything I need to work works and well and fast. Thankyou !
Now how do we get the touch interface on the Charmer as they seem to be getting working on the Prophet??? Maybe wrong place to ask, will wait. In the meantime, thankyou again.
the bt works fine with car set

"the bt works fine with car set "
nice to hear...go on with testing
WIFI confirmed
WIFI SDIO function has been confirmed by beta tester, loskarlitos - with some limitations like control panel not working , WIFI connection has been confirmed as stable and able to survive standby mode
Thanks Loskarlitos!
Excellent, a new rom to try!!
I can't believe I have only just found this. I could have been playing with it this evening. Its a little late to start messing now!!!
Thanks for all the hard work Nocturne.

i think the wifi control panel only works with built in hardware. thats why its removed from the official charmer roms.
hope you are right. i wil think about removal of it for the next ver.

I dont know if that's such a good idea. Some people use SDIO wifi cards and find those wifi settings useful.
Cheers,
vlodeck
as reported from my beta man, loskarlitos, and as reported above, this wifi settings applet seems to be working only with built-in wifi modules, settings are inactive for sdio cards.
Wifi SDIO owners, please share your experineces - than i can build fully functional rom stripped down from useless parts
Hi,
first of all amazing rom. Really really fast. It syncs great under Vista. To flash from Vista you have to use the "Another Flash Method". I encountered no problems with the 12 apps running, alarm or landscape problem.
Only the Calender and Contact buttons are still hardcoded to Start and Back.
problem with alarm was solved - it was really caused by underclocking charmer down to 95mhz (I'm using BatteryStatus for dynamic overclocking. 95MHz is simply not enough power to bring alarm window up and system behaves strange)
problem with changing landscape/portrait disappeared and never came back - but will keep it in buglist until this is really confirmed
lagge number of running apps stil remains - if lot of apps running, softkeys are not working as they should...hope somebody could try this on another wm6 device?
Calendar and Contacts issue
Been testing this rom for a day or two - I get the problem where Calendar and contacts won't start (whether from soft keys or the Start menu) and I have to soft-reset to egt it working. I admit I have been using iContact as well so I will uninstall that for a few days and see if the problem goes away.
closing some apps does not help? it helps for me...
customization?
Hi, when i flash yours new rom and make HR system was start and customization from old wm5 was started. In rom 4.4 customization was not started after HR, is this was changed in this release?
sorry for my english....
This was reported and will be modyfied in next ver. Till then, just skip the customization after HR
Ring tone changes....
Hi, next thing is that my ring tone changes to default without my command. I've seen this before in previous roms but in 4.4 it was ok.
I installed this last night. Seems nice and fast.
I noticed that the phone pad SIP and MMS are missing. (Installed these manually)
Also, i'm afraid the Bluetooth A2DP appears to still be the older, poorer quality version.
Cheers
phonepad sip is missing because i don't like it - it is not necessary. everybody can install it easily manually. but it will not eat precious memmory for us who does not use it ,-)
MMS support is there - no problem with it, thing you report is a bit strange...
it's hard with A2DP. Some testers were reporting it's the best A2dp they have seen - you tell the opposite. The worst thing is that i cannot test it - i do not have a2dp device :-( is possible that transfer quality is also dependent on used HW?
regarding those ringtone changes - i was testing this today (about 10 calls, some restarts etc - no problem. aren't you using any 3rd party software for phone profiles or things like that? I saw this with pocket zen phone..if not, try please to search for some dependency of this behavior so i can repair it
Thanks Nocturne.
I'm really starting to think I've flashed the wrong ROM. I've got so many on my PC now.
Can you confirm what I should be seeing under Device Information?
Thanks

same problem, hope it will be fixed.......
No issue here, phone runs perfectly since 2.1 update.
Are you sure it's not because of the JIT Hacks ? Because that's definitely unstable.
JIT hacks? It was updated official, twice... & two times tha same problem occurred

Yep. Definitely didn't use the JIT hack.
I do occasionally have this problem. Mainly if I have the phone plugged in while on the phone, doing anything else with the phone while on the phone or sometimes even when I'm not on the phone but the phone is plugged in... it'll just reboot.
Pisses me off seriously. I've formatted this phone many times.. I've formatted the SD Card many times. Its annoying as hell.
I had JIT but reflashed.
In the beginning I believed it was JITs fault but i still have reboots daily.
Abot 2 or 3 of them daily.
And o have FC from gmail storage and gmail app.

Well, that's another 2 back-2-back booting. As soon as the phone was done loading. About to unlock and boom. Crashed and booted.
Xperia Restart Problem

wow, can I conclude it has to do with the battery? WTF?!
I'm using android 2.1. The device suddenly Turn Off, the only way to turn it on is by remove the battery.
After that i upgraded it to android 2.2 using KIES, the same problem still happen.
Need help, Please.
can 't understand your problem please mention more details(it turned off when you are running a specific app. or doing a specific action and when it turns off you mean that never turns on again unless you remove the battery ) and i 'd like to know if your phone is a middle east version because i 'm from Egypt and my phone version like you i5503 and it has no firmware except the 2.1 version and its sucks

I5500 here...
While I did not had this issue with stock 2.1.1 ROM, I had it with 2.2 (tested with NEE, XEU & PHB). After putting the battery back in and restarting the phone, my icons and widgets just disappeared from all of my virtual desktops on device. After trying to browse all my installed apps I go the loading beach ball of death. I've waited for half an hour and finally fixed the issue with a factory reset. No it was not the redraw lag... icons just disappeared and refused to appear again no matter how much I waited for them The same thing also happened after my phone self-restared itself without any intervention from my side
It looks like it could be a better idea to stick with the MAD Team releases of FroYo which have some issues fixed. As for me - I switched back to 2.1.1 even it is somewhat limited by features comparing to FroYo. It was maybe some incompatible app that messed up my FroYo, but it is strange that one week after going back to 2.1.1 I had no issue like this even using the same apps. Time will show ;-)
To moderator : double posting. could you please remove this one...
i have same problem with my Galexy 5 (GT-I5503),my phone randomly power down,my firmware version is 2.1-update1
please help what was happend for my cell phone
I was on rooted 2.1 and sms worked great. I upgraded to wolfbreaks 2.3 rom and everything was working great. Except that fact that i have a sms problem. When i try to send a sms sometimes it works... Sometimes it doesnt. I Deleted the apn settings and that seemed to fix it for a while.. Then it did it again. The only way for me to send the sms is to reboot the phone. While it turns on again thats when it sends the text. I tried reflashing the rom, Nothing. Went to 2.3 ultiama rom or something and it still worked at times but then it stopped. If i reboot then i can send. If not that its just stuck forever. I went back to wolfs 2.3.3 and it does it every now and again. But i have been dealing with this for atleast a week and im getting tired of restarting my phone to text someone.... Any help would be great
Also phone specs are as followed

Build Number wolf_xperia_4.0.3_cust
I've had this problem too. The best solution that seems to work for me is making sure that you have a decent amount of ram free. I never found out why I had this problem but after I cleaned my phone out and made sure I didn't have a lot of apps and services running, which frees up ram, my SMS problems went away.
But they still surface from time to time.
Also make sure you have a decent signal when you send messages. That might be another reason but I really don't know.

I posted it in the very first post....
Try updating to 4.0.4 stock version. That's what i'm on right now.
To tell you the truth if these problems continue to occur of you update, you might want to clean install everything on your phone, especially app data.
So save your contacts and any viable data, a list odd apps you really need and start all over.
hope this helps.

Alright thanks for the advice.
Hello, i would like to know if anyone else using Flame.GDX ICS has problems with Voip calling.
I try using my Rynga account (without any apps, only trough internet call settings) but always get the answer of time out and it closes or my phone freezes and when I press the back button it continues ringing on the phone called. I doesn't work so the other part has to hang up. Then my phone continues ringing this number two or tree times but I don't see it's making this call, only knew it because I had the other number close to me (i was testing and could notice it).
I used to make this voip calls with my previous ROM GingerDX pro v17 and I didn't have any kind of problems, it used to be very good, even worked better than apps like sipdroid, but with Flame.GDX ICS sipdroid doesn't even get good quality.
Thanks a lot
If You prefear use web browser, why don't You try with a browser like opera or something else?
mum_laris, the reason is that it's quite easy make a call when i have 3G directly without using web browser. It could be very slow. Thanks for your suggestion.
