Hello,
I have a x10i..
I wanted to try out different ROM hence used the tutorial available here (in the forum) to ROOT the device and install different ROM versions along with baseband and as such things..
Finally, I wanted to revert back to my default Sony given ROM..
Whats the official (Sony) process to restore or rather install the default SE ROM (that 2.1 android) ??
I tried that Sony PC Suite phone repair, but after restoration, with the default ROM, my device is not running smooth.. I dont have any apps installed apart from the default things which came after the phone repair, but still the phone is running dam slow and sluggish..
How can I get the performance issue solved ?? Did I missed anything in restoration process ?? (using the sony pc suite repair phone option) ??
I am really unhappy with this sluggishness so i am thinking that I must have done something wrong in the restoration process...
Any help would be appreciable..
Thanks
dude, the stock SE 2.1 is a slow and unsmooth rom.... it is lack in prformance.... theres a lot of 2.1 custom rom that performs better than the stock SE rom.. if u want a fast n smooth rom without any functionality lost... u should consider to usem them.... it is basically sooo laggy with the SE stock rom..... just so tht u know.....

If you have tons of apps downloaded and a whole bunch running all the time, your bound to see a hit in performance.
There's a few certain apps that i found to be just a hog in my performance
ie: timescape, face recognition, learning client to name a few.
I have taken my stock 2.1, rooted it and installed JIT...wiped a WHOLE bunch of useless apps, and my stock 2.1 is NOT by any means sluggish or laggy.
I consider it my own custom rom
Anyways, if you have root access, search for the threads for apps to delete to speed up your phone.
ps. after you reinstall the stock 2.1 from seus or pc companion, your device will be slower as it needs to build it all up again. So, in other words whenever you flash a new ROM or reflash stock 2.1 you have to give your phone time to get up and running full speed.

Ok.. I would wait.. may be this is what i needed to know.
I am using the stock rom and it runs smoothly enough I got jit enabler running, link2sd and sysctl config o get around 34k with linpack. Before rooting i had about 6-8 so major improvement. Used other roms aswell but if cam , wifi tethering isnt working proppetly on Custom roms then ill stick to my 2.1 tweaked rom

Whats the best rom for my LG Optimus One (P500h) ?
2.2.2 stock room with root. Since the beginning I always was using custom roms, but this is my personal opinion in the past few months I prefer the stock room with root, which I can make any tweak I want, and doesn't have battery drain and bugs that some custom rooms have.
And cause many of the custom rooms are based in 2.2, and 2.2.1+ had some updates that repaired VPN that I use a lot. I couldn't be more happy with it, cause it gives me a lot of experience messing with android too.
There is no best ROM. You choose what suites you. Now, if I were to tell you that the best ROM for me is Light, would you choose it too? It doesn't come with Darktremor, so no one else except non-Darktremor users use it.
Point is, look at what the ROMs bring. Choose according to what you need or what you don't need.
However, if you want something widely used by the people here, use void/devoid or LOL or Megatron or Prime or the other ROMs with popular threads on the Dev subforum
I use the stock Rom rooted with a overclocking kernal
Very fast.
Andy's 2.3.2 Gingerbread
LOL v1.2 with fixed Kernel

I downloaded the official rom from lg website to my country and decompress it, and with this kitchen added root, and left the rest untouched.
pedroh: how can we tell version is the original ROM on LG website? Can you also share the instruction on how to install the kitchen? I am using v10c (2.2) firmware.
I do not have the links anymore, but I know how to do it, but google it is similar procedure as making your own rom.
if u stay on 2.2 use Void echo, if 2.2.2 is ur choice the u can flash Nessy.. its a good ROM . however i am using 2.3.3 andy gingerbread... though its in developing stage but i am quite happy with some bugs in it...
I'm using Optimus X rom, it has the best performance for the limited CPU frequency on the LG p500, but with a good kernel you can eeek out a extra 170MHz - 206 MHz out of the processor.
I'm running the rooted stock Froyo 2.2 and Mik's mutlitouch kernal overclocked.
I'm using my Nessy ROM!

My issue with these custom roms
Before ranting about my relatively bad experiences with custom roms, I'd like to thank the community for its hard work to make our experience a little more enjoyable.
So I bought the Optimus One and messed with it until I recently discovered custom roms for it. I payed $150 for the smartphone so I decided to get a little more out of it thinking that I got a great deal.
I've tried several custom roms but they're either extremely buggy, drain the battery too quickly or are just not stable enough to use at times you need it the most. Now who am I to say this? Just a user. I should stay out of this and stick with stock roms if I'm not happy. Right. But I'd like to know why so many people trip over these incomplete custom roms when they take the good thing of what a smart phone should be... A smart phone! I get almost no battery life with ciaox's rom, he brags about having the most "performant" rom out there and insults people who try to create something more stable. Who cares about overclocking your P500 when you can't leave the house without charging it? I know that there are several tweaks that can be added to the P500 without even needing to overclock, which makes a noticeable difference in the UI but I can still say that battery life sucks and/or the OS is unstable.
Is there a STABLE rom that takes MINIMAL energy with more PERFORMANCE than stock? I do not care about 3d games because this phone is not made for that, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that it can be.
Thanks
Have you tried Mik_os CM7, I get good results with it, Ive never used anything by Ciaox

Hmmm.... Use the v20c from my signature? If you want to remove crapware, flash signed_decrapify_v20c.zip (attached), run
Code:
$ su
# appinst
from terminal emulator and uninstall whatever you want.
Result? Stock rooted 2.3.3, stock kernel, crapware removed.

Ofcourse thats possible! i hav the exact same thing in fact.
Official GB 2.3.3 V20C, rooted with super one click, flashed cwm recovery, threw out all the crapware (if u r referin to useless apps)! ---> is this is what u meant!
Added the script above. Only for stock v20c ROM. If something breaks, your own fault.
great, is it possible to have stock kernel with just oc enabled?

So it is posible ? I dont to brick my phone.
On psp when you flash custom firmware on official 6.XX later you can brick you psp. (its only example)
But therefore I ask.
So I can flash every x10(i) with any rom. And it's not dependent on actual rom. Yes or no ?
Sorry for my english :/

The X10's flash mode is hard coded in.. so if you set up the flashtool, you can always revert back to a stock original or branded rom. Even if you crash in the middle of rom install, you still have the ability to go back using the flash tool or SEUS repair.
Most roms are a continuing project and in different phases of it.. some are from scratch and some are ports from other phones, all roms have different abilities and perks to running them. CM7 roms give extended system tweaks, and MIUI roms are almost a totally different framework altogether, but they are very smooth.
Kernels are the linux system behind it all, some roms will wipe the original kernel and replace it.. or if you go through the amazing process of unlocking your bootloader, you can have the actual kernel itself replaced.. the perks of this are mostly for overclocking & undervolting to get better performance and/or battery life.
I find no matter which dirrection I go with a rom or kernel, it always seems to have its significant advantages.. If you run into a jam feel free to PM me and I will try and guide you in what ever your venture is, I think I have installed every rom at 1 time or another lol.. best of luck!
even if u brick it can be easily resolved to the normal state...only sometimes it becomes a big pain in a** !! else its cool to go around flashing !!!

Make sure that you flash the correct kernel too..

Hey
Have been drawn towards MiniCMSandwich for my Xperia Mini Pro as would love features of ICS on my phone
However, was thinking of all ROMS and thought maybe there was a better ROM for me? Of course, one of the most popular in CM7 but would it work for me? I want ideally the menu etc of ICS as well of the reported speed of it but which ROM will give me that?
Secondly wanted to ask about Flashing. On the Wotanserver website I have seen I can flash to 4.0.2........ but what problems would that have? Or would it be better than the MiniCM ROM?
Or should I just wait until SE release the official update in 2 months?
Thanks
Your phone already has 4.0.2.A.0.xx update. Just check in Settings-About Phone. WotanServer offers stock firmware and kernel for all 2011 Xperia phones(and lots others). You can use it to restore your phone to fully stock system if you need it, like when ICS comes out, then you need to have fully stock.
Hybrom is currently stock-based and stable with lots of customization.
Most other custom ROMs(MiniCM, CM7, CM9 etc) have quite lots of bugs, but you need to read the ROM's topic to find these out.
I have Live with Walkman myself, so I am not aware for another phones.
You can try out different ROMs, install one, try for some time, if you don't like it, install another one etc.
Custom ROMs will require custom kernel also(some of these include self, some don't) and unlocked bootloader(if you do that, stay away from OTA updates, else you will brick your phone). Don't forget these
If you decide to stay on stock ROM, get it rooted(you can read my tutorial, if you need help with it) and get rid of some unneeded system apps. Also, then you can yourself customize it as much as you want.

Thank you for that. When you say my phone has the 4.0.2 update available does that mean I can get all the features of ICS? So the menu/home screen etc?
In your opinion, would you say that you should go for a Custom MiniCMSandwich, or then wait until June and get the official 4.0 update from SE?
Or am I misunerstanding and is ICS with all features already available for my XMP?
Thanks

No, it is Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but 4.0.2.A.0.xx is a version number for Gingerbread update. ICS is not released yet.
I haven't tested MiniCMSandwich myself, haven't had time nor interest. Also, I have a Live with Walkman, which means some parts are not working on this ROM at the moment(from what I have read).
I use a MIUI ROM(link in my signature, click the ROM name), but this version is only for Live with Walkman. At least it works fine for me, only some small bugs that are not a problem for me.

Hmmmmm... Not sure now whether to stick with 2.3 for now then go for the proper ICS update later in June or get ICS now with a few little bugs.
The MIUI ROM for XMP has quite a few problems such as data not working so don't think that is an option for me
Any other ICS ROMS or is that it?
Thanks

MIUI is ICS based, even though it's visual part and some other stuff are completely different.
for gingerbread i would definitely recommend Hybrom v16, completely stable, lighting fast, really good package.
for ICS: MiniCMsandwich by Kamarush, works really well, not as stable as Hybrom, but for ICS very acceptable.
any custom rom is better than stock, the least would be a rooted stock to get rid of all the bloatware, that really helps with speed AND battery.

I obviously know how to root, but after rooting how do I get rid of the bloatware? Is there a thread made or a website I can you use that explains it?
