Smartwatch vs Custom Roms? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Help, Ive tried various custom Roms and cannot get my Sony Smartwatch to fully work, Ive tried CM9.1, CM10, SSpeed, it can pair, but thats as far as I get, with the stock rom, no problem at all!
Any Ideas?

Perhaps something to do with unlock BL... Don't really know for sure.

I have SmartWatch and i used with CM9.1 Rom. You must install first SmartConnect, than SmartWacth apk, and than Extras.

[Q] [HELP] Which ROM should I use?

Hi All,
I purchased an X10 Mini Pro yesterday and I rooted last night.
I am now looking for the most stable ROM to put on my phone, I just don't know which one has had more development put into it.
Is it possible to use 'X10 Mini' ROMs on the X10 Mini Pro?
Appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction into which ROM I should put on my phone in terms of stability and functionality. Many thanks!
You can not use the rom from the mini for the mini pro...
the only advice is try them. backup your present rom first and then flash one of the few. try it for a couple of days and flash another.
you will find the rom that suits you most this way.
I'm using the Floyo rom and happy with it.
as all roms they are still under developement. things are not working random reboots may occur.
as said in other forums. there is no best rom. all roms are made to personal taste of the developer and that might you like more or less depending the rom. just try the roms available as said before. this is the only way.
read the threads about the roms they will give you all the info you will need.
@wilcovh
Okay thanks for getting back to me m8...
the most stabile and functional rom is the stock rom at this moment.
sorry guys, but you know it's like that. custom roms still need some bugfixes, but the progress is very promising.
hi,
you want a good and stable custom room?
well the best for now is the Foyo rom. it is almost bug free...(only 2 or 3 bug know bugs) and it have some themes options....
see the topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961783
Floyo v3.4 reboots often, but I couldn't find any other bugs. If you can (I can) tolerate these reboots, I think this is the best choice.

i cant boot to xrecovery after installed v3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951274
and instal xRecovery.
But xRecovery should be working after installed v3.4
Maybe you did something wrong.
There's no random reboot on mine using CM6 3.4, try to reflash your phone and then install 3.4, I didn't see any bugs imho. Instead complaining about the bugs for each rom, try to help the dev by supporting they work and help them find a solution.
Try 3.4 for daily basis it's quite stable. CM7 V5 is still a little bit buggy in some vital section.

Hey guys/girls in need of help :D

sorry if this is inappropriate to be here.
iv pretty new to xda and finding it very good.
i have a galaxy 3 i5800
and a x10 mini pro
the 5800 is very easy to install custom roms
BUT im finding it pretty hard to find a complete good rom for the x10.
im gone through other treads and topics and only found slades rom to work for me so far but not quite what im after,
so im hoping you could point me to a few roms that work well with the x10 pro.
many thanks Stu
(ps please move to the right place if needed}
There aren't any complete roms yet, the best you can do is install a froyo/gingerbread dev rom and report bugs so they can be fixed.
do you have a link to one you would use?
Here are some links but I wouldn't use any of them as my main OS yet as they still contain bugs.
I suggest you set your phone up how you like it, install xrecovery, backup your system then experiment with the new roms. You can always restore your backup to get the phone back to it's original state.

[Q] Looking for a user-friendly ROM installation guide CWM

Hello everyone, I´m new on the android word and just got myself an x10 mini, and would like to install a ROM. the real thing im after is the ability to save apps to SD, I tried installing App2sd, using a tutorial in these forums, but it completely broke android 3 times, getting stuck on an endless reboot cycle.
Now that that option is out of the window I am looking at ROMS.
My phone is flashed with an international firmware, with band M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015, Android 2.1. What would be the best ROM (given persona experience) fully working, of course?
Thank you,
DamDSx
hi im pretty new too, but found it quite easy, i installled 2.3.3, i havent got time right now to post the links il get back 2 you if you havnt sorted it, but you can get all links and software from this site, the easiest way i found was using superoneclick to root, just one click! then youl need xrecovery to backup (just incase) &restore then browse for the rom you want to use, if you have a look you'll find all these on here with n00bie instructions 4 us beginners, hope this helps some what.
Im going with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200675
Currently backing up with Xrecovery, but im not sure if I need to wipe user data and cache? the rom guide does not say anything

welcome 2 android
ROM's are of personal taste and as the camera problem of gingerbread is fixed,most of the ROM's are fully working.....as u r new to android, i would suggest you to go for MiniCM7 2.0.5 as the MiniCM is perfectly "tailored" for the mini's small screen estate...however, other ROM's like GingerDX, FroyoBread, MiniCM6, Andread etc are very stable alternatives too ..i am using "FRoyoBread" latest version because i find the battery consumption to be less than the Gingerbread builds
if you are after the ability of moving the apps to SD, most ROM's would suffice. But, i'll give u a caution, don't move apps with "Widget" support or "operational" apps to the SD card...many a time u will get a "problem loading widget" popup or your SD card won't show up on the computer.
try some ROM's until u find the one u would like the best...most of the ROM's are great because OUR DEVS ARE AWESOME
if i helped you, press the "THANKS" button

yes u NEED to format the user data and the cache for avoiding startup bootloops
Search before you ask
try this TUT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194499
Thank you. Android is awesome!
I´m trying GingerDX, the only problem I have found is the keyboard. it was too big for the screen (Unmodified X8 port) but ThickButtons from the market fixed it. Loving Gingerbread so far. On a side note, my new phone, and thus Android, has put some stress between me and my wife, because ive been spending more time with the phone than with her! lol!
Indeed the devs are awesome. THANK YOU!!!!!

Best kernel / rom combination? whats your opinion?

Yes, i realize this has been asked over 9000 times before (though a search for "best" didnt return anything), and yes i know best is different for everyone, so i dont expect a definate answer, im just looking for some opinions.
Which rom/kernel packages have you used, what are you using now, and why? what makes the one your using now better (or worse) than previous packages?
Im no stranger to flashing kernels / roms, however to me they all seem to be very similar, just different theming (i use Go Launcher anyways, so thats a non-issue.)
Lets get some general feedback which Kernels / roms you like and which ones you tried and hated!
I use the is this thread for real ROM, coupled with the I can't believe you made a new thread about this even after knowing there's loads already, kernel.
I find it works really well, much better than the previous threads.
Like i said, i used the search, nothing popped up. If you know better keywords to search for i'll gladly read through previous threads instead of waiting for people to post yet again.
Theres no way i can sift through the thousands of posts that are here when the search wont help me.
Let's see, from the past few days, searching for "kernel rom" in the Q&A section.
Poll: Which custom ROM(s) (any ver.) you usually flash on I9100?
[Q] which rom is best?
[Q] SGS2 Fast ROM & Kernel Combo (5333 Quadrant).
Which rom its better or the best?
[Q] What is best ROM for SII ?
[Q] which is the best combination of kernal ver and Rom for good battery life??
Which ROM to pick up? Too spoilt for choice!.
Thread closed.
Best relies on so many variables flash as what's best for someone else isn't likely to be best for you! Make a backup and flash away...............

Extremely slow operation

Ive noticed this since I upgraded to gingerbread.. phone is now very slow..
when I play music, it plays as something is taking up all the processing power in the background and the music plays as it is buffering, loading and playing..
the games that I download run so slowly that it feels like playing modern games on Pentium 3.
when I press the home button, all programs minimize but the icons on home screen load up one by one.. they are empty boxes and appear one by one.
anyone else have any experience like this?
any help or advice would be appreciated.
I am on stock gingerbread, i do not have any mod roms installed.. My phone has been rooted.
android version - 2.3.3
baseband version 2.1.71
-old question was closed without giving any reason, maybe it was in the wrong section... so trying again
Have you tried restarting?
Perhaps you have too many applications installed on the phone's memory, you should try moving it to the SD card in Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
Hope this is of some help.
I'd suggest rooting and installing a custom rom, it'll fix all of your issues.
I'd suggest TEAM ROM because I'm using it, and it's awesome.
And yes, the last question was in the wrong section.
hi, thanks for the reply.
I am also thinking of reflashing and installing a custom rom, but what always prevented me from doing so were the limitations of it, as every rom had some problem, some did not have working wifi, some did not have working camera.. and so on..
but I was following teh MIUI Rom and that looks promising, I noticed that the xperia x10 is not yet supported: http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-development-roms/
but also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307044
will this custom MIUI Rom work? should I go through with it? (it also mentioned as wifi not working and third party app must be installed to fix it)
Thanks

Great battery life and very responsive. No lags, everything working. Don't be fooled if the thread seems unactive, it's because everything is working...
Unlocking BL is a one step process in FlashTool. Flashing is a "breeze"
PM me if you need assistance.
