Hi friends. My girlfriend recently purchased a Ray. We have rooted the phone and now are ready to install a custom ROM. I wanted a review of ROMs from you guys which you have used on your Ray. (Camera, battery life, smoothness, stability etc.)
You can help me by letting me know about the following ROMs
- CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1
- KA11 Ice Cream Sony
- FreeXperiaProject 7.2
- FreeXperiaProject 9.0
- JJ's HYBRID ROM v3
- RayOnium
Or you could just tell me the best ROM for Ray.

Try it yourself, and please don't post this kind of question again.
Well I thought xda was meant to share your knowledge and help others!
I have tried CM7.2, CM9.0 and Offical ICS BETA ROM V4 Update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516750
ICS BETA is the best so far. CM7.2 and CM9.0 is too buggy for me yet. (IMHO)

Yes but not this kind of question. Clearly you post it at the wrong thread. Why don't you put it on the sticked thread above? And again, none is the Best. It comes down to each person's experiences, and it is not kindly enough to compare something that's been done for passion, with silly ranks. If all ROMs are paid version, you could ask such a question. But it is free so it is ethically not allowed to compare them all, it just makes some war (as i have seen it before on X10MP forum). Try yourself and read all the testimonial. Read before ask will never hurt.

there is nothing bad in asking for help.. Newbies really dont know where to go...
Its just a Kernel or ROM the guy is asking...There wont be anything too sensitive or emotional for Dev if someone helps him choosing a ROM...
@OP... Every ROM has its own features... Depends on users choice or features he/she wants... it just takes 15 mins to check a ROM and its features... try each one by one and stay with the one that suits u more...

Not hating the ROM mind you, just the theme.. And you know me all along since the first mod i popped here, that i kept the theme as stock as possible (at least in rhythm with stock theme), and later you mod the theme for any other. So you knew how much i love sony theme (or too lazy to do a theme of m own) ..
Yes it is just a phone and how nice it is if everybody has the same mind like yours. The thing is, majority of human is human, they like to idolize something and when different peoples with different mind comes together, war..
Ah forget it, getting off topic now.. X)

Well, all I can say is your not yet ready to install custom rom. Unlike any other brand of phones, Sony has a locker bootloader. You have to unlock boatloader first which will void the warranty to install custom ROM.
I'll give you a tip in choosing rom.
1. Go to each rom's thread, read the rom's description first, see if the phone features that are essential for your everyday usage is working as we all now that each has their own pros and cons.
2. Feedbacks, just read feedbacks. It will give you the idea if the Rom is for or not.
3. Number of post, check the number of post. More post may actually mean that many people are using that rom.
Go find it yourself. It's not easy to give comparison as it may hurt the developer's feelings reading some bad comments about their hardworks.

In real i like this topic ... i was reading many things around any Rom ... same with kernels and that's good, what we all together can speak about them all in one place. Coz if u can see, each time when any Rom will be updated, makers did new Topic about it, well why we can't talk about things like that, like new Rom's in one place? For many Dev's it will be nice place too, coz they can see what ppl's like, what they want, for what they downloaded for example MIUI and not Cyan.
Iam interested in this topic, coz iam trying to find balanced Rom, just needed app's in it, everything is working and smooth ... and thats my question of the day, what Rom and kernel(also baseband) draining battery not so fast?
For example on same Rom what i have now iam tried different options in build.prop
pm.sleep_mode=2
ro.ril.disable.collapse=0
but made one mistake in same day iam changed baseband ... and if before my Rom take for whole night 2% of my battery ... after this moves i got 3%.
Today iam trying new baseband and we will see what i can have then.
Well its good to know about them all, i mean Rom's .. and iam tried many of them, last JJ's rom, MIUI from iriijo and bla bla bla. And all what i can say, they all bugged, GB more stable for now and everything is working nice with repack from 4pda .. for nice view i use Go laucher Ex, its overclocked and bla bla bla. I like it, but i love Torch from MIUI with home button and many small things like that in any other Rom.
Well this topic must live, i hope soon we can read here more info and maybe someone can offer to me, how to make my battery life better, coz my phone can stay without charging just 1 day ^^ and one guy at the 4pda forum got 3 days and 14 hours, used 2g(but it was on), not 3g ... used internet, listened music, used wifi also ... i think even 2 days like that should be perfect, but why i can't do the same ?^^
Sorry if my english isn't perfect enough and sorry for to much words in this answer ^^
Rayonium is the best rom for me.

Hi people
I have just bought a new phone, and selected S3. I've had Desire with MIUI and also the MI-One phone with MIUI. It is therefore no surprise that I am missing the versatile MIUI system on my S3. However S3 also has some good features, and I just can't decide wether I shall root the phone to get MIUI or leave it with stock rom. I would highly appreciate if someone with experience of S3 and MIUI would be so kind to share it with me.
- Why did you change to MIUI?
- What are the key benefits of changing? (better battery etc)
- How does S3 work with MIUI? (errors etc)
Perhaps there are some who changed to MIUI, but then have changed back to stock because something didn't work or some features of stock was missed on MIUI. Please also share this.
PS: If it is already started a thread with this question I am sorry. I haven't found one.
Looking forward to read your feedback!
*bump*
MIUI is a bag of balls. iphone wannabe. all the apps all over your screen. no dedicated section to store your apps. stick to stock
Bumping is banned .
Asking whats the benefits of this rom or that rom is also banned .
jje
Hi
I'm sorry if I did something that is banned, and I don't think you understood my question. I have been using MIUI for almost two years, and I am quite aware of how it works. I tested many different ROM when I had Desire, as I thought the Sense was not good at the time. MIUI was the one I really felt for, because of its many adjustable things.
Now I have a brand new S3 and I just can't get used to the ROM that is on this. I have installed the MIUI launcher, and are happy with that. What I would like to hear is from people that have been using MIUI on S3, and get their feedback. And this means also positive and negative experiences. For some people MIUI will work great, and for some others it won't. I am aware of that, but it is so I can make up my mind if I wan't to root my S3 and install MIUI or just don't bother.
Some things that can be positive is better battery, better use of ram etc. Just can't see how this should be banned to ask for?
Hi everyone, my questions here may seem strange or noobish, but I'll ask them anyways,
I follow these forums (XDA), since a good time now, (since I have my Xperia X1, got it nov 2008 to be exact, but I discovered XDA a little while later), and I read lots and lots of threads and posts everyday, I was there when CWM was born, I flashed tons of ROMs on my X1, WM6.1, WM6.5, Android since 2.1 I think, I had stopped all this for some times when I had much work to do for school and work etc. and I came back 3months ago with XPERIA P...
I followed and read almost every thread in here, and I'm sorry to announce that I find all this a bit Messy (not Lionel)...
I want the best Experience for my smartphone, and here I'll explain what's the "best" experience for me, and I wish you could tell me what's the best thing to do for it.
1) I love Xperia Stock UI, that's why I want stock XPERIAnce
2) I love smoothness, thats why I want a light ROM and good Kernel =)
3) I know that .54 FW is insanly buggy, so I'll certainly need some tweaks
so now that you've read my little story, I think I have all your attention so I can ask my questions, that's why I'll type them below:
1) What's the best ROM for me?
- I think about getting this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069543) I want to know what you think about it, seems really good to me, but don't want to waste time flashing and reflashing, I used to do it with my old phone so now I just want to flash once and stay with My phone like it is all the time
2) What's the point of getting another than stock Kernel?
- I mean here that okay it can be smoother and have better battery or benchmarks, but tbh I don't really care of that all unless there's a big difference, so is it a real difference between stock kernel and Sliding or Thjap?
Yeah I know my question seem noobish and may have been asked many times, but I'm searching for someone who can make my wishes come true, or at least show me the way to do it by myself, because actually I learn computer science but all this is not what we learn at school, so I don't knwo where to start...
Now For all of you that didn't fall asleep while reading my story (could write a book lol it's so long) hit the thanks button (just to know if you reached the end of my post LOL, joke no need to do it)
Seriously for every person that reaches the end of my post, just feell free to help or teach me how to make my own ROMs, because yea there are tutorials and stuff, but it's always better to have someone showing you the first steps, it helps you keep focusing on it and not being bored,
I thank every guy here that can help me or just took the time to read my looong long post =)

1.) Only you can tell what's the best ROM for your phone. But for my Xperia P, I use BrainsROM. It has all the features I need for my smartphone. Battery does not drain that fast and overall performance is good. :laugh:
2.) Hmmm. I am not that pro yet when it comes to kernels, but as I can see, there is a big difference using kernels from Sliding and Thjap from stock. You can see big improvements when it comes to overall performance. Most people use Stock ROM's combined with Modded Kernels.
Sorry for my bad english, english isn't my first language. :good: Hit the thanks button if my post helped you.
Your question regarding kernel
The kernels provided by thjap and deepunknown are more than just another stock kernel
pre rooted
Cwm integrated
Init.d support
Ooverclocked ( removed from deepunknown's kernel)
Some performance n battery tweaks
And a hell lot of new things
So Are there any cons over custom roms and kernels, like freeezes or reboots or phones stuck? Did you ever experience that ?

I have never experienced any reboots or freeZes on all custom roms that I have tried ( talking about those for unlocked bootloaders)
Most of the roms dun have any lag like our beloved stock rom
Regarding kernels - if its a test release... U cannot expect it to b highly stable...
Bt final releases are stable ( coz they r thoroughly tested by some testers including me
all credits to developers
Some have made it to 6 stable releases in xperia p section )
And you tell me that custom stable kernel is smoother and has better battery life than stock ? How come Sony engineers didn't make it better so ?

Yes it is bt I didnt said anything about battery yet
When I used miui it was superb

First thing, please post problems in Q&A section. Second thing, there is no best rom in XDA. If you want a rom that suits you then test different roms, there is a massive collection of them! Thirdly, Jelly Blast is a banned rom and Jelly Bean based roms for this phone don't exist. Fourth Thing, To tweak CPU a custom Kernal is needed. I can see it is your first time and hopefully you will learn!

Because OP ask For Best
Thread closed
@Sanamy , "Best Rom" threads are frowned upon a XDA. Why? Because what is good for some people, may not be good for you.
Also, best rom threads cause arguments between loyal users of specific roms, and basically have absolutely nothing to do with development, which is what XDA is all about. Not to mention it's just another thread that clogs up the "search" feature.
My advice on making your choice;
1) Read the OP and the last 10 pages of the ROM thread. You'll get an understanding of how the latest release is running.
2) Determine your needs. If you're looking for a gaming rom, then you'll probably want a kernel that's OC'd CPU and GPU.
3) Try a few different ROMs. All devices are NOT the same, and behave differently with different ROMs.
Above all, READ and UNDERSTAND the flashing requirements until you know them well, and understand what you're getting into. Don't be afraid to ask a specific "n00b" question. Most of the folks are here to help, although you will get a couple of "bad apples" who prefer you use the search feature before asking (this is of course, the proper way).
And to some of you "Old Hands", and you know who you are, don;t be so harsh. You also were new to XDA at one time, and probably posted the same (Do I really need to research and post some of your "n00b" posts when you first joined?)
To the other user that actually helped, thanks.
