Please suggest me kernel and ROM - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new in all this so I don't have any aknowledge. How much I use my X10 tells the fact that I charge it twice a day. After 2 years I decided to root it and install something new. I thought I can get even more from this good device but so far I didn't find anything better, just worse. On stock gingerbread I had problems with audio stuttering but I applied a fix and solved the problem. But I wanted something faster and better so I put gingerbread port from Xperia S. It is faster, it looks amazing, it has many new features but Spotify doesn't work (and you guess, I can't live without it), device sometimes power off itself on 19% battery remaining, my 3G connection is unstable (it stops working because speed fall from 2 Mbps, for example, on 0.05 Mbps and it's unpossible to surf. I get Connection lost (in market and Opera). Market dissapears often etc etc. So, congrats to author on his effort an time he spent, but it's definitely not a ROM (or Kernel, I don't know which fault it is) for every day use.
I wanted to try MIUI but somebody said that it's a bit laggy and that there are problems with GPS and app2sd. I wanted ICS but there are problems with tethering and camera.
Is there ANY kernel & ROM that will get the maximum potential from X10 with everything working fine? Or maybe I should ask, which kernel & ROM are the best?
It must have
- fully working camera (8 Mpx, HD recording, flashlight, autofocus, Vignette app etc.)
- fully working and stabile 3g/wi-fi and calls/messages, of course
- working tethering (usb and wi-fi)
- NO AUDIO STUTTERING!!!
- working Spotify (probably weird and funny bug but for me crucial)
- Bravia Engine
- xLoud
- Beats Audio (if it's possible, the one with EQ that affects all sound played on device to be able to use it with Spotify)
- working app2sd (I don't want to install games and apps in internal memory!!)
- without problems with market and other things
- ... (and EVERYTHING other that works on stock gingerbread)
Performance
At least as on stock gingerbread or faster and smoother, without all unneccesarry apps and crap that get with it. I don't use timescape, facebook, gmail, chinese keyboard etc. The same for battery duration; the same or better!
Design
I like everything that is fancy and stock gingerbread design got bored. I felt in love with MIUI on first look but I never sacrifice performance or functionality for design so I can bear with standard design if there's no fancy ROM with everything I need. Furthermore, there are lots of launchers with plenty of themes even I prefer already themed ROM better than launcher.
I'm sorry if somebody found this as a spam or requesting. I didn't mean it like that, I'm just confused in all that ROM's and Kernels And I think that it would be useful for all us who doesn't want to experiment with our X10, just a stable good ROM and Kernel to get the most of it.
Thank you!

have you tried oodie miui or cobrato's miui??they have 8mp and hd recording and other thing's also good...
mooke electra is a nice rom too...nice ui...speedy.
.but hd recorder is laggy...lower than hd is fine...

No, I tried only this for now. There are plenty of ROMs and I find it fun to try and experiment but I don't have much time so I wanted to hear a few good options to try and settle down for now with one of them until I get some time to experiment more. Sorry for wasting your time.
I'll take a look on these 2 MIUIs and mooke electra.
About DonutHD, I was reading and it seems that this is what I want. Fast, lite, xperia s theme, xloud, bravia engine and all that + addons for status bar etc etc. I believe that I can install Beats audio as well and seems that everything is working. But I'm confused. There are more versions (probably I should use the newest: 2.2.9) but there are also more XperiaS updates and it writes "DON'T USE WITH NEW VERSIONS". New versions of what? What does it mean?
Thank you guys a lot, I appreciate your help! :good:

Wow, this looks beautiful. As I said in PM, I repaired my phone, rooted and installed recovery again, unlocked BL and flashed Oodie's MIUI. Now I will test and see how it works. If it would be laggy or have some major bugs, I will flash donut hd. Thanks for screenshoots.

Hi! I'm currently using DonutHD 2.2.9, it's the best so far. But after some time passed, I'm interested if there is a stable fully working ICS for X10? I was looking through forum but on every one there are some problems with camera. Is there any? Thanks!
