hi everyone!
i have some doubts about vanilla (froydvillain) vs sense. i recently rooted my hero and flashed a recovery, but i'm using stock 2.1 rom... so here you have some questions: (sorry if they are epically stupid LOL)
1. does 2.2 vanilla has flash lite in the browser... for example, when you go to a site in my current rom (2.1 official) you can see the flash animations etc., is it possible on vanilla?
2. does froydvillain support live wallpapers? (i know that they are useless but i love eye candy xP)
3. is there any app that has multi touch in sense and in vanilla doesn't?
4. will the lack of sense, in your opinion, be negatively noticeable? like the dialer, gallery, etc. if yes, are there any third party apps to compensate?
5. finally, what kernel should i choose?

1. No
2. Yes, subject to the usual limitations of the hero hardware regarding 3D wallpapers
3. Not that I know of
4. Not really to me, try nubdialer which should be in the rom, or dialer one. The gallery is a nuisance, but there are recommendations in the thread.
5. I would honestly use the stock one (ie. don't flash any one afterwards), as the ROM is sufficiently fast with no overclock to beat most phones with overclock (in terms of daily use)
thank you for the quick reply! i was going to ask about flashing the kernel but since you said it is not necessary i'll just forget it... about the gallery i'll just google it, about flash lite if i really really miss it i'll just go back to 2.1 rom... xD
well, thank you again!
i'm sorry for posting again, but at the download page are various links, one for the rom and a bunch for the kernels, my question is, do i have to download any kernel or is it "included" in the rom link? i know it is a noob question but it got me confused since at the list of kernels is the "normal" one (576mhz)...

I am using FroydVillian 1.5, it is super fast, stable and the looks are amazing. I do not miss the sunse UI at all, I miss the widgets, but they just use up performance anyway. I flashed the 576 kernel, which was a lower version number than the one that came with it...but as of right now, I have had FV 1.4 and liked it enough to get FV1.5. I have cycled through many roms, and these are the best in my opinion for everyday use...

ty both! i love the rom! i dont miss sense ui at all and its very fast!
Details:
This is my Second Custom Rom for X10(had to delete first one in just an hour as according to XDA Moderators there were some warez[paid apps] in it),thanks to zdzihu's xRecovery we can now flash user ROMS to our X10.This is a modified and customised SonyEricsson 2.1 2.0.2.A.0.24 Rom(rooted with JIT Enabled).The biggest reason why i created this ROM is that i have personally experienced some great changes(on a positive side) in this firmware(2.0.2.A.0.24),and i therefore created it with JIT Enabled,full root access and some usefula and entertaining apps and games.
Changes in this Firmware:
There are many differences but some of the most prominent ones are as follows:
1. It is stable and faster then ever.
2. Mediascape and timescape are now very fast and fluid,the lag is gone now.
3. The lock screen is acting better and now it is more fluid and doesnt lag at all.
4. And above all the biggest issue has finally been resolves by SE to most extent,that is the incall volume is finally loud and clear(much better then previous,(though not perfect,coz nothing is perfect is this world.lol!).
How to install:
Copy the zip file[SK_007(Custom)ROM V1.1.zip] to the root of your sd card,then reboot into xRecovery and click intall custom zip,then select SK_007(Custom)Rom V1.1.zip,it will start installing it,when finished reboot your device and Voila! its done,Enjoy.....
Whats included in this Rom:
1.It is based on the latest 2.0.2.A.0.24 Rom
(Firmware version 2.1-rooted-zdz)
(Baseband version 2.0.4.9)
(Kernel version 2.6.29
[email protected]#1)
2.Off course it is rooted and JIT Enabled
3.I have included a lot of useful apps and some nice games(all tested and working fine)the names of some prominent apps and games are below:
***ADW Launcher EX(Removed on the request of XDA Moderators,as it is a paid app)***
1.Launcher Pro
2.Games for e.g Asphalt 5,FIFA 10,Gangstar,Lets Golf,NFS Shift,Homerun Battle 3D,Angry Birds and a lot others...
4.Res mod 1.4 applied(Thanks to XperiaX10iUser)
5.Many more things,but feeling tired to tell about all of them,lol!

I hope you will like my work,dont forget to thank me and also advise me if u want me to improve on something.
Regards...
Note:I want to appologise Mods,as it wasnt my intention,but i did that as i was a bit unaware of some rules,i hope now this Rom is ok and i promise i will be careful in future.
Any chance you can do a backup of the new ROM, which is just Vanilla, with just Root and Jit enabled? No other modifications?
Think this would be handy for quite a few people

Sure i can(though i would not happily do so as it require some time,lol!)if some more people ask me to do so...btw why dont u try this ROM,pls check it i dont think you will hate it....
After looking at the screenshots, Im not a fan of the font/theme/Boot Animation that you have used.
Just my 2 cents.

Ok sure you have every right to express your opinion,anyway if you want a stock ROM with root,xrecovery and JIT enabled,i can create it for you,but what you want me to do,i mean should i start a new thread with that stock ROM or anything else?
What's your suggestion?
Regards.
Yeah, start a new thread, Keep things easier i think

Update it and its quicker. pretty simple process.
2 posts up in the answer.
is the easiest way
Eminence v1.2 + jit enabled = x4 speed (trust me)
and battery life will increase around 70%
Really important that you DON'T use ATK to kill system tasks or persistent apps. If you don't really know what you're looking for it's much better not to use it at all... I don't.
Hello,
Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I still have some questions. (Sorry can't help it)
1) What is xrecovery? If I use it will I miss my official 2.1 firmware? (Does it flash to Custom/Un-official firmware?) I'm scared due to the number of bugs.
2) If its unofficial, Can I still use JIT with my official 2.1?
3)
Change Launcher
ADW, Launcher Pro or something else.

I am currently using Advanced Task Killer. (Widget on my main screen) to kill applications.

Also, I have Security as High and Auto Kill to None in the ATK.

Simply put, Xrecovery helps you to install custom ROM's, Themes and helps you to backup and restore data on your X10 the easier way ... More details and download HERE

Yes, you can use JIT with official / stock firmware... it will void your warranty but so did rooting

Launcher or Home is the application that manages your homescreen,[you have the stock launcher] main applications menu etc... Open market and search for ADW launcher and/or Launcher pro, Install one of them or both, to set your launcher click on the middle hardware button on your xperia, you will be presented with the launcher choices, select the installed launcher and experiment with it... for more details search the forum...

Read all the instructions carefully, and follow it to the book and please use the search function and read through the threads before you ask anymore questions.
Thanks for everyting.
I have installed xrecovery along with JIT successfully!
Installed ADW launcher.
1) Now I'd like to know if there are anymore tweaks that could improve the performance of the mobile?
2) How can I increase my battery performance? (Life)
All your suggestions definitely helped me out.And by the way, I did do my homework before I went through my questions.
Thanks for everything
from the fact that you have been able to root, install xrecovery and JIT i'd say that you are more than capable of doing most things that are suggested on this forum (more than most of the people that seem to post here anyway!) so i'd suggest just reading over a few different threads in the dev section for more information. knowledge is power, as they say

Notes
No, not me nor anyone who worked on any part of this rom is responsible for eventually any damaged caused to your phone or life.
Yes, offcourse i am aware this is CyanogenMod 6.1.3 officially... but in my eyes it is not worthy enough to call it that, because not everything works yet.
WARNING!
I do not want to see any fights, cursing, banthering or what so ever in any negative form in this thread... if so i will let this thread be removed.
support ended, because i bought a new phone
Changelog & Fixxes & Themes
beware you should wait up to 5minutes the first time you installed the rom
Fixxes:
- No signal? visit this page for a lower/higher baseband version and you should be capable to flash it over it.
- i am truly sorry to say, that i blocked most advertising websites, adds etc.etc. if you however for some reason do wanna have these, whipe the hosts file ^^
you found something that is broke?
or are you gettin force closes? (if you really got this because you use baseband that is lower than .54 imma hit u with the ugly stick!)
download catlog from the market and send me the logfile, i'll make sure i'll do my best to fix it
Custom Themes:
SJ_CyanogenMod_6.1.2-Xtremes_X10_theme by Shiwantha
Can't wait to see the changelog and the difference of the CM6.1.3 V4 and CyanogenMod7.
Is there anyone can tell me what's the difference among them??? So many CyanogenMod???!
And i just find something about the .55 BB.:http://www.xperiax10.net/2011/02/19/rogers-releases-new-2-1-1-a-0-6-firmware-for-xperia-x10a/
Great, i can not wait, another cynogen rom and a new chef, i will re-flash my baseband as soon as you upload, can we have some screenshots please, and most of all thankyou for sharing.
.55 Baseband? .54 will be enough for this one?

Every users has requirements regarding the product or service or others. What we can do is just to waiting for the new ROM.
I like the style very much
And can you tell us more about the camera?Not fully-functional means we can take photos only without selecting the quality of the photos or we can also take video but with another thinks to concern?
cheers

@smartgardens, screenshots added
@jusiek, i advice to use the latest baseband tho.. but older one should work without any problems
@laill, yes you can make vids and photo's mate, but its not 100% optimalized like the standerd one is... and 3rd party apps dont like it yet there are 2 camera apps in it the one from miui and the regular one

Hi guys!! I'm asking to myself..Is impossible to have the "bravia mobile engine" software of the new Xperia Arc on our X10??
Thanks
yes its already ported

It's half-ported, 50%.
and even that 50 % is only claimed by one person & not confirmed by anyone else
Bravia Engine 61.0087651409% done.
It now allows for using the phone's display as a HD projector.
Practically no its not possible without open boot loader.You can't change or increase pixels without unlocking boot loader else 16 mil colors would have been out long time back
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
It is literally impossible to increase the pixels without changing the screen whether the bootloader is unlocked or not.

Please Help! No Bravia Engine option after Wolfrom Install
hello,
This is my first post, so please do bear with me... thank you.
I have an X10 on Orange (UK) and the stock 2.3.3 upgrade was rolled out last weekend.
I upgraded my phone to stock 2.3.3, and about two hours later rooted it (Ads were really bugging me) and then yesterday I installed the Wolfrom (Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip) very easily using xRecovery. I followed these steps:
1) use the SE Backup & Restore for 2.3.3 (so glad this was available on this forum as I couldn't see it when I first upgraded and all my contacts etc had gone of course).
2) Boot phone in xRecovery and back up rom
3) Full Wipe, Clear cache partitions, Wipe dalvik cache
4) Install Cutom rom (as above) and then reboot phone
this worked great! And I had the rom on my phone, saw for a few seconds it worked then decided to use 2.3.3 backup and restore (had to install again) to get my contacts, messages and system settings back. I didn't check between installing the rom and restoring whether the BRAVIA engine was available, but when I look now, the Mobile Bravia Engine is NOT available in my Display Options, and I don't know if I have the battery tweaks which were mentioned in the thread installed either.
The phone defintely boots up as Wolfbreaks ROM, but I think my Restore may have messed something up, I just don't know what. Can anyone please advise?
To reiterate, i don't have the Mobile BRAVIA engine, or the new funky battery indicater (which is meant to improve battery life?), but do have the EDT tweaks app available. Can anyone help please? I will need to run a restore to keep my contacts/bookmarks at the very least - I can probably live without the text messages and mms messages. I am wondering if it was just me selecting "System Settings" when I restored that could have caused all this. Thank you so much in advance for anyone who can help.
Regards
Very Happy X10 user who now finally has Gingerbread!!!

Search for flashtool pal and use that. That will root, install xrecovery and even unlock it bootloadsr. Among other things. Basically no there isn't a risk really with rooting ur phone. It can be uprooted very easily and it opens ur phone to a world of possibilities. If u need more info feel free to send me a pm I'll help u out (not at pc at min or I would post links for u to everything u need)
