Hey guys,
this is a Port of the recently in released in China.
This ROM can still be rooted by SuperOneClick root. Xrecovery comes preinstalled though. Do not forget that the W8 still comes with Android 2.1 still its nice as some of the stuff was updated. So if you want to update you existing 2.1 this might be a great choice.
You can remove any app you don't want from the zip or copy the ones from 2.1 to the zip you need as well.
Please Backup your build.prop before flashing so you can revert back to original state
Links
W8 Port v1.0 Please read instructions / This is Android Eclair (2.1)
Instructions:
place on sdcard
boot to xrecovery
install as custom zip
if you come from other custom rom (higher than android 2.1) do a factory reset BEFORE flashing the zip file
reboot (like stock SE firmware for pro) takes awfully long
The Works:
Everything
The Not Works
Nothing found so far
Bugs:
Some stuff is not ldpi like the widgets but it works pretty good.
Nice android 2.1 right?
did you change anything from the Original rom?
that was fast :b

i only edited to make it work with mini and also deleted chinese input method and changed suquashi framework so otherwise we couldnt really use the hardware keyboard. if somebody need chinese i need the mini pro chinese input method. which i didnt have. now we are at least able to use hardware keyboard and the stock t9 input method from sony mini pro stock rom.

Hey Slade, i'm sure this is many people's request as well, can you please post just the W8 Music player to apps and themes section? we dont wanna download the whole rom just for the music player cheers, great port btw
i tried the musicplayer but it has dependencies to framework and other stuff i guess. maybe someone in the mood to port just the app? maybe myth999 ?

Only one question
The W8 has a 3.2 Mpix Hardware camera ! So this ROM allows only 3.2Mpix picture or 5Mpix ?
I'm not going to use this ROM, I prefer your amazing Froyo ROm
EDIT: downloading the ROM now
hmmm.. kinda miss 2.1.... downloading too ^^
Would surely attempt to port the player
Just wait 6 days

Hello everyone I have a problem with touchsreen on GingerCrust v2.3,
Firstly I want to say sorry because this question is supposed to be in development thread but, since I still have a less posts in this forum so I have to post it in this thread.
Okay this is the problem
I already succeed to flash the GingerCrust v2.2 via CWM 5.0.2.6
And I found there's no problem with touchscreen and then I did the GingerCrust v2.3
And i've got the touchscreen problem (the touchscreen strongly not accurate and hard to swipe for changing app drawer and desktop page)
I already tried to do touch screen calibration test via *#*#2664#*#* touch screen test
but the code won't work
and I tried to find additional framework on it's official thread(by nims11) but there's none of it.
Did anybody have a problem like me? Is there already a solution for the problem that I found
Thats new bug you phased not anyone tell about and not im phasing any that thing
v2.2 and v2.3 are almost same just few things like odexed and some fix not much other thing
I have this problem also.
It's most apparent when typing, because random keys will frequently touch itself, mostly the s and d keys.
For example, I write "I love you", it will turn out as:
"Ids sdldovsed ysdous"
or something like that. Very frustrating.
I really like Gingercruzt, but I'm unable to use it because of that touchscreen bug. I think it's a bug from CM7.2, since the J.A.F's and jusada's ROM also have this problem.
Sent from my GT-S5830
I got this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271268
I don't have that bug... did you flash the framework for v2.2 before flashing 2.3? maybe this dosn't afect to the touchscreen but just only to see what was your flashing process.
@CambaStorm I already tried flash the framework when in GingerCrust 2.2 (without framework Gingercrust v2.2 didn't have bootloop) with frameworkgcv2.2.zip , but after flashing the framework, I had the bootloop everytime v after that i flash again with Gingercrust v2.3 and i got the touchscreen problem but the bootloop already solved.
@nims11 thanks for the reply, I want to ask some questions to you. Is there additional framework for Gingercrust 2.3 or the framework for 2.2 still valid in 2.3? I mean if I want to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3, is it required to flash the framework again? or the GC 2.2 that you post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324628 already have modified framework inside? Thanks nims!! I really want to try the GC v2.3 by the way it's really a very great work of you!!
@adinq yeah I have the same problem in GingerCrust v2.3 just like your video in your thread

I have exactly the same problem. The cause of his OC kernel is unfortunately in some lucky so forth. I asked about this before but no one knows the solution. The only way that works is throwing a kernel that is nonOC "cm-7.1-kernel-2.6.35.7-perf-CL562111.zip" from this topic. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296905 and the problem is gone.

Sorry for the dopost.
I think I've figured out why the touchscreen is acting up (thanks to icemanhi, I'll be pressing that thanks button when I get on the computer). It does have something to do with the OC kernel, but not specifically because of it.
I underclocked my device to 700MHz, and the problem dissappeared. I OCed it to just above 800, and would start seeing it again. I OCed all the way up to just under 900, and it was very apparent.
So possible solutions are:
1. Underclock to <800MHz (for max clock)
2. Flash ketut's regular, non-OC kernel (link provided by icemanhi).

I also have the same Problem.
It was all fine with froyo 2.2, when i switched to stock 2.3.3 kpe or 2.3.4 kph this problem occured. It stopped happening with 2.3.3 kpy and its perfectly fine with the 2.3.5 stock firmwares.
My big problem is, i cant use any custom roms, it happens with every single custom rom.
So it's not really a warranty issue when it happens with custom roms. Coz samsung could say it works fine with stcok firmware, 2.3.3 kpy for example.
I really don't know what the cause of the problem is, because my friends galaxy ace doesnt have these problems with the custom roms i tried.
I'm not sure but besides the kernel i kinda think it might be a battery issue, because it happens less frequently when its plugged to the charger.

MIUI 2.4.6 ICS
This is a port from the ARC S based on the Official Sony ICS Beta
Kernel is working on [email protected] by default. Use SetCPU or CPU Master if you want to change it.
You can use Inteks and Night-Elf kernels for ICS too.
Works: Everything
Known issues:
- you can find some freezes if you use SmartAss or SmartAss2. Use Ondemand Governor
- Neo users may find too much green on the photo. I can't find right fix for that. I have one with correct photo, but flash doesn't work on it. (Fixed with camera fix)
Kernel is inside of the archive.
ROM Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?8cl3wq0b2lk0de4
Camera fix: (Everything works fine now)
NEO V only: camera fix for NEO V
NEO only: Install camera fix for NEO V 1st and only then install Camera fix for NEO (it's important)
How to install:
- Bootloader must be unlocked.
- Phone with .62 FW on it.
- Copy .zip with ROM to your SD-card
- Copy .zip camra fix if you use NEO V
- Unzip boot.img file from the ROM to the any folder on your HDD and flash boot with fastboot.exe or FlashTool
- reboot and enter to CWM
- Make all wipes (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache)
- Install ROM via Install zip from SD-card command.
- Install fix camera for NEO V if you need the same way
- Reboot.
Sorry for my poor English.
To Admins: I miss that Mr.ZduneX25 is already post same ROM. I'm sorry for the double-posting. Delete it if you wish as I can't
But the voicesearch is fixed in this ROM In contrast to ZduneX25's ROM

Hello all,
Last time there has been a proper thread with opinions for best ROM in terms of performance has been about an year ago... And the list by THeLogiC is severely outdated...
I've been using x10forever's slimbean custom OS, and it's not bad at all. Some really cool features not in the stock OS and the interface looks very nice. But even with about 50MB of free RAM all the time, I've been stricken with some bugs and crashes (unresponsive popup every time, firefox beta being slow as a snail, not being able to watch videos on any video app, force restarting when using torrenting apps, etc....). I've just about had it. I need a new ROM.
But I have no idea where to look. So I ask you guys.
From what I can tell, custom ROMs by these users tend to be the most popular now:
-x10forevers
-Scritch007
-Achotjan
-FeraVolt
But each of these users have more than one ROM... Which one is the fastest and the best, performance-wise?
I'm under the impression that that ROMs based on the latest android version (JB) is the fastest-- is this true?
Are oodie-based roms the best, or CM10, or slimbean, or paranoidandroid, etc.?
I'd rather have speed and no unresponsive/force closure of apps rather than fancy features.
I don't really use games. I use android for basic apps, internet, photo360 app, video watching, listening to internet radio...
Which one should I try?
Please post your opinions here, and update it from time to time for any newcomers. All the threads on the android development subforum make my head spin...
My vote goes to " alzbac's DonutHD 2.2.9 "
It is smooth ( no lag at all), fast, stable and battery friendly.
Try out my ROM in my signature below
most of gaming ROMs are good in speed and performance..
but i recommend the zetralab v3.3 rom since i find it very stable..
Thank you all.
Any other input from anyone else?
Edit: What is zetralab rom? I can't find it.

Zetralab rom already changed its name... It is spikelabs now... In my signature below...
But the ROM need unlocked bootloader... I can ensure that the rom is ultrafast...

If one considers 720p videos with AC3 audio (I have other phones with HDMI) as part of a performance package, then one can not go any further than stock GB 2.3.3 firmware derivatives. I am not aware of any ICS or JB ROM for the XPERIA X10i that support 2D HW acceleration for the Adreno 200.
I have .mkv 720p (H264,AC3) videos that playback well on the XPERIA X10 using modified GB 2.3.3 via BSPlayer or MX Player Pro.
I also play Standard Definition(SD) TV and/or recorded TV on my XPERIA X10i via my NAS and this also plays will, but again requires 2D HW acceleration.
And even when CM10 gives AnTuTu scores of over 4500 and high 2D and 3D scores, it's software encoded and not HD encoding which is what counts when playing back 720p videos.
So for me 2D HW acceleration is part of any overall performance consideration, but this may not be high on everyone's list.
I would suggest DonutHD(I use my own stripped down GB 2.3.3 ROM and XPERIA S apps/home launcher) with maybe DoomKernel V6 as a 'solid' package and potential for good battery life, but maybe not in the performance category in the extreme sense.

I would suggest DonutHD(I use my own stripped down GB 2.3.3 ROM and XPERIA S apps/home launcher) with maybe DoomKernel V6 as a 'solid' package and potential for good battery life, but maybe not in the performance category in the extreme sense.

So you're saying that there are no ICS or JB custom ROMs that support HW playback? Interesting, I didn't know that.
I will try DonutHD, it seems like a lot of people suggest it.

Yes you read correctly.
No Adreno 200 2D HW acceleration for videos and etc in anything other than GB 2.3.3 based ROMs or lower official Sony [Ericsson] builds.
That's what I believe to be the case due to the lack of source code for the Adreno 200 for ICS or JB builds.
I'd really love to be wrong and have a developer reply to my post and say the XPERIA X10i JB or ICS supports Adreno 200 2D HW acceleration.
Maybe one day. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you Dr Goodvibes for the info...

Now I installed DonutHD 2.9.9 with ferakernel, since it seems to be what people most recommended in the most recent posts. But when I used GB ferakernel v5.3, the phone doesn't load up, it boots but then only shows a dim black screen, so I guess it doesn't work...
Tried using doomkernel v06 not overclocked; this didn't work either, stuck at the doomkernel logo screen and nothing happens.
Can anyone help me do this? I don't know why it is not working... I never had this problem before.
I have unlocked bootloader.
try to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache
Of course, I did... I'm not a newbie. I have installed all sorts of ROMs before...
I did this:
-format SD card
-flash ferakernel
-go into xrecovery by holding side volume button, wipe cache, full wipe, wipe delvik cache, then install wifi drivers for ferakernel
- reboot then go into xrecovery. install first .zip for DonutHD 2.9.9
-reboot again, install second .zip for Donut HD
And then I just get stuck with a dim black screen after ferakernel logo.... :crying:
I installed feralab for now, but didn't recover any of my apps or data yet because I want to still use DonutHD....help please.
Still waiting...

I haven't used ferakernel myself, but I believe Feravolt provided a drivers zip file alongside the latest ferakernel. Flash it right after you flash the ROM.
Otherwise just use doomkernel v6.

If you're talking about using the JB version or the GB version, I am using the GB version of ferakernel, which matches with DonutHD...
I've been using feralab's rom and the kernel is working w/o problems, so I don't think the problem is with ferakernel... I'm going to try installing DonutHD one more time.
weird. I just reinstalled, did as I did before, and it worked.
Thank you everyone for helping. Will report if DonutHD is good or not for me.
So how is the DonutHD rom? I am personally more after phone functionality and battery life. Dont care about movies on this obsolete phone.

I think it's the fastest out of all, but I'm already experiencing some lagging. It's just the least worst out of all the ROMs I've tried.
I think my phone has moods. Sometimes it's in a bad mood and doesn't work at all, and sometimes it works perfectly.
