I´m very confused with the number of options in ROMs for Xperia X10. With the amazing jog of so many developers, i just can't choose a ROM for me.
So i´m asking. Which is the best ROM (speed, stability and feature wise) for people who don't want to loose features of the phone (especially camcorder, camera and wifi)?
Thnks!
If you wan HD camcorder, you can only stay at stock rom.
I am using go3asy's 2.1 rom honeycomb look. It everything work n smoother than stock rom.

I'm using the latest stock ROM with all good tweaks to make it very fast and responsive.

I hd install Eminence's ROM once, and I satisfy with it. But after latest update from SEUS, my x10i is not able to use this ROM anymore. It just stuck on boot animation. Any idea how to fix this?
But I will try to install honeycom one. It seem better.Still downloading. Thanks for the information. Thanks...

It is the only reason why I'm still with stock rom.
stock rom maybe . eclair 2.1
Look like i´ll be on stock for a while.
Let's hope developers solve the problem with the camcorder on 2.2 and 2.3 soon. Maybe Arc shed a light on the cause of this.

Best ROM for those who don't want to lose functionality? Stick to the official SE firmware [including official updates].
Sony don't give a crap if we run 2.2, 2.3, or even 2.4/3.0 on it - and it's because of the simple fact that it's just a firmware. That's all what it really is. Only 'firmware' and *not* a ROM.
It's the consequence of SE's DRM stronghold on the encrypted bootloader, signed with a 1024 bit RSA key. We're looking at years of bruteforcing to be able to break in, which frankly neither is feasible nor worth the while.
And that is why nobody from SE cared enough to even bat an eyelid when one XDA user mailed their tech support representative complete with screenshots of his X10 running the 2.2.1 firmware, a link to a thread from XDA alongwith some XDA Dev namedropping. It's easy to realize that if this was a significant development, SE would've been all over our [XDA's] ass a long long time ago.
As much as I hate it, I think it's about time we came to terms with the reality. A fully functioning port is not going to happen. Atleast not until someone manages to dethrone the bootloader from it's current position
And no, it's not because the Dev's here don't have the technical know how required to do so, but rather it's because SE have ensured it wouldn't be worth anybody's while attempting a go at it.
Sad but true.

I was able to play with an X10 and I should say that the hardware is really nice and slick. It looks and feels great, and this is not unusual for SE.
The software, however, sucks big time. Not only it is Android 1.6 based, but it is quite sluggish (it just doesn't feel like a 1GHz Snapdragon device!) and has none of the HTC Sense widgets goodness, nor anything else (and don't even get me started with this strange "timescape" thing). Huge disappointment. Android 1.6 vanilla ROM would've probably been a better choice.
Therefore, the only reason I would consider this device is if I am able to flash a custom ROM on it. And since I REALLY like Sense, I'd love to see it on-board.
Has anyone heard if there are any upcoming X10 custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance!
Man dont wanna be rude but why don you read the other threads? Custom roms are only possible when rootin will be achieved. And atm its not possible. Hopefully in a month or so..but nothing for now. And its not sluggish at all.. Mine runs 20 apps and its v fast. Download some taskkiller if you havnt already.

Did you ever see it running next to a HTC legend? The legend is way smoother on the homescreen, like the fps count seems to be double that of the x10.

I happen to have both Legend and x10 (well.. actually the Legend is my wifes.)..
Legend smooth... maybe.. a tiny bit.. but it's also a much smaller screen so imperfections like that are more easily hidden.
Certainly NOT enough of a difference to affect the user experience.
This forum is getting out of hand. It is supposed to deal with Rom development.

Unfortunately, we dont have custom ROM for X10.. We are still trying to crack the bootloader..
We'll wait ... really need iptables.
But do you think that it will be able to update to 2.2?
It'll really nice if it will be possible, because if we can have the programs on sdcard we can multiply our capacity...
2.1 custom ROM is ready for X10 (only video playback not working) & 2.2 ROM is also partially ready except a few glitches which will hopefully be sorted out in this thread. So we the Mini / Pro /x8 users may expect a 2.2 ROM in future. Moreover. Bin4ry is pretty active in "Custom ROM dev" in x10 forum. He may use his expertise to build a 2.2 ROM for our Minis provided the project is successful for x10 and Bin4ry gets adequate time.
Thanks and hope for the best to happen soon.

Now that a vanilla 2.1 ROM is available (but with bugs) for the x10, maybe someone can port it for the mini/mini pro?
What I want in a custom rom is;
A widget screen that can handle more than one widget per page.
A aGPS method that can get a fix in less than 10 minutes. (get time fix, use DL data, done in <30 secs)
Multi-touch gestures. (like pinch zoom)
Gesture actions, (like turn phone over to reject call!)
If SE wants to keep all the mini people on SE's experience then they better get cracking. Already dumped timescape and roadsync, whats next?
Netfilter support so we can tether

You can use launcher pro or ADW or any other homescreen replacements to get multiple widgets per screen.

Your GPS takes 10 minutes to lock? You'll get lost on the road man! Mine takes less than a minute + offline maps that instantly plots your location once you get a lock.

Multitouch will be included on an upcoming OTA update:

dunno if the minis are included.
IMO, the best thing we need for a custom ROM is freedom from bloatware and hardware lockups by SE thus giving us a real performance boost.

Sounds good. The 2.1 update was alright, it made my x10mini last a bit longer(it seems), but i would really like some speed optimizations which supposedly are in 2.2 among some even better batt. life
Cheers on all the work you guys are doing
Just bought this phone (Sony Xperia x10) for my wife, after I smashed her Samsung galaxy S 4G during an argument last night. I ordered it overnight shipping so it should be here by Monday or Tuesday.
Now there were no custom roms out at the time she had her Galaxy 4G, so it was only rooted.
Yet after visiting the development section for this phone it looks like there are tons of roms being cooked up for this one, so I just wanted to get a few opinions on what roms are worth flashing? I'm looking for speed and stability above all. Its for my wife, so I want to be able to just flash something for her and never bother updating and flashing again for a month or two months at a time. Now if it were my phone I'd be flashing every other day! But that's only because I can handle bugs, beta testing, and known issues so on and so forth. Women though, they just want their phone to work, period. So what's the most stable rom to flash for the x10? Any insight, suggestions, heads up, and links would help, as I haven't got my hands on it yet, I want to go ahead and research as much as I can about it, so I can root, flash, and customize it for her right out of the box. Thanks.
cobratos miui is REALLY good...
Wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3 is also fantastic
I flashed cm 7 gb onto my gf's htc wildfire. Its completeley stable. She gets like 2 or 3 fc's every few days and guess what.......she still bloody moans lol.
Anyway back on topic....i vote for wolfs cm 6.1.3. Super stable, bug free and must be close to final release.
for stability i recommend z's freex10 roms
for eyecandy i recommend cobratos miui (my daily rom, fairly stable, has few bugs)
the stock 2.1 rom is not bad at all, just gotta optimize it a bit (remove bloatware, enable JIT, Sysctl, compucache, build.prop mods)....i think there are a few 2.1 roms with these mods already in place, however i havent used a 2.1 rom for a long time
if she wants take advantage of the nice camera on the x10, i recommend going the 2.1 route as the camera interface and quality is the best with stock 2.1 (IMO)

Hi,
I've tested 5 roms :
-> original SE last update 2.1 : lot of lag
-> kX10 R2B001 - 03FEB1 : 2.1 rom modded : better than the official one : good but not for playing
-> 2.2.1 FROYO : very good but some bugs (like translation) and don't like the launcher, too slow for me : good for iphone lovers
-> Achotjan_Froyo_2.2.1 : 2.2.1 rom modded : the best for me : it's french lol -> Actually, found no bug, the best for me : very stable, better than the official, very fast (BB58)

many devs says here that ROM is perfect and EVERYTHING works,the problem is the with the definition of EVERYTHING,its differnt for every dev,for major roms you cant use camcorder so cant use goggles,bar code scanner ,video cam in all settings,there are some walk troughs and ways but then you cant call it everything
just go with 2.1,modify the stock one ,thats the best option
you broke the last phone....if there are too many lags,your wife will smash the phone this time
for us its all ok,for your wife dont take any chance!!!

Not all women just want their phones to work, period Some of us can flash our own ROMs. I used z's Freex10 but prefer wolf's CM 6.1.3 since it's very fast and good on battery. However different people have different problems with the ROMs they flash and it's worth paying attention to instructions
I strongly recommend you take look at this thread: talk.sonyericsson.com/message/59415 . It has many good ROM's for the X10 with some good feedback.
I have personally tried the stock ROM with JIT enabled and removed bloatware (did everything needed to make it quick) it worked good but the battery life sucked. Then tried FreeX10 and its pretty good and quick but yet again battery life wasn't any better than the stock one. Then tried CM by Wolfbreak and its pretty darn good. Battery life is def better and so is speed.
Im going to be honest with you none of these ROM's are even close to perfect. They all have slight bugs, all force close once in a while.
So here's my advice, if your wife isnt exactly tech savy + likes to use features such as the camera and wifi alot than stick to the stock ROM and wait for SE's update this year.
If she is a problem solver (isnt afraid of using google to solve any problems she has) and doesnt want a phone that lags to often and has good battery life than go for Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3. Although wifi and camera can pose problems sometimes on this ROM
Hope this helps

Hello,
a friend of mine just got an Xperia X10, and since she doesn't understand a thing abou technology or smartphones, she asked me to help her with it. I was wondering which ROM I should flash. She doesn't need something fast but buggy nor complicated, she needs something simple (I know, she needs an Iphone) and she doesn't need something that needs to be updated. So I was wondering, should she stick with the stock ROM or is there on I can flash for her? (Of course I'd prefer if she had Gingerbread but if it's too buggy, the stock ROM it will be). I'm asking for advice because I own an HD2 so I don't have a clue about X10 roms!
Thank you
Hello all,
I have a quite similar question.. i didnt flash my phone for the last 2,5 months since i use a quite stable rom now (only barcode scanner and video recording dont work).
I still use a stock kernel.
Now my question is, what rom is recommended at this moment that is:
1. stable (no rebooting etc)
2. can use a custom kernel (i like to have the 32fps cap removed)
3. is froyo or higher (i need adobe flash for my football stream watching)
4. has working wifi, bluetooth, gps, 3g, proximity sensor
there are so many rom varieties, that i dont know what to flash.
(in dutch we say: door de bomen het bos niet meer zien )
I think me and the above poster are looking for the same awnser (sorry for highjacking the thead buddy )
greets!!
Use freex10 beta 4 its the most stablest rom very good battery life i never had a single fc or bug nothing to say else then its running.froyo 2.2 and so far its the best out of the 10 roms i tried very simple nothing fancy
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Read the threads, look at the screenshots and decide for yourself. FreeX10 is the base that all the 2.2 roms are built on, WB's 6.1.3 is a tweaked 2.2 with CyanogenMod settings and lots of tweaks already built in, MiUi roms are made to look like an iPhone without the normal android launchers, the CM7 and gingerbread ROMs are still missing some functionality. Its all just preference at this point, speed wise theyre all similar, most are relatively stable, it just depends what features and style you want. You could try a bunch of them and just make lots of backups and switch between all of them if you have a decent SD card.

She could use the MIUI ROM of Trip, it's iPhonish and has some little bugs. (Very little) (Not the Gingerbread version since it's not as stable as Froyo)
ROM looks very sexy, fast, smooth etc... Easy to put some girly theme on.
Id suggest not flashing it. I've jailbroken friends iPod before and if anything goes wrong they come to me to fix it and they dont even appreciate the added functionality or use it. Chances are someone with little tech skills will appreciate the change. And if anything goes wrong you'll have to fix it. Unless there complaining about the phone I wouldn't flash it.

how many of you still using stock 2.1 ROM ?
Sometimes if I've screwed up my phone (rare) I'll get back on the stock ROM and I kind of like it. I think the stock SE style is elegant and beautiful, and I like many of the stock apps. I just like the features of 2.3 and the inbuilt efficiency of 2.3 etc. I always try to get some stock SE styles on the newer ROMS, and try hard to get as many stock apps as possible.
Unless I'm slightly dim and missed something, I CANNOT use the stock Cyanogen calendar without connecting to the internet. That is NOT a calendar option. Having to connect to the internet to just look at a date is just stupid and not a benefit from the stock ROM.

I just hate stock 2.1 and how it looks and feels. MiniCM7 2.1.3 w/ stock kernel is a LOT faster and generally better than 2.1 ever was/will be. My phone is as stable as it can be. I have left it at stock overclock which is 691Mhz and it NEVER reboots.
Only time it does reboot, is when I force it to.
I still use it, but is because both xRecovery and CWM have problems. Tried everthing to make it work again, but nothing happens.
There are no problems with CWM and x10 mini pro.
A better version of the original UI (theme, launcher) can be found on the newer ROMs like MiniCM7 and Gintonic.

I do is a lot more faster!!
Probably this is just about the x10 mini, not pro. But i guess, the preinstalled OS and software are pretty much the same, although i had a 1.6 when i bought it.
I was using this for a quite long time, roundabout one year, as i was a bit uncertain to brick my device in case i screw up or don't read something carefully enough.
But on a boring day i went and gave it a try (MiniCM7 pro, iirc it was right when V14 was released). While fearing as f*ck during installation process and waiting until complete (showing no errors - YES ), i was totally happy afterwards. So no, i would never ever switch back to the standard software which Sony Ericsson released with this phone. It was slow, battery consuming and it had way less features than the custom ROM i'm using now. I'm happy with that.
I'm surprised by some of the responses - the thread title is primarilly aimed at those who use the original SE (at least a little or all of the time). No where in the title do I see an invitation to complain about stock 2.1 and advertise about the brilliance of other ROMs. Seriously, re-read the title...
Sorry for that - i thought the thread kind of indicated a discussion of why or why not use the stock rom. No offense meant
Still use the default ROM
I kinda like the ROM that originally came with the mobile, and still use it.
I ROOTed the mobile though, within one month of purchase, as the battery was a serious problem (due to autoruns).
After Rooting, I am able to get at least 1 day of battery.
There was even a time when the battery lasted for three days before it came to 5%.
(I put my phone on charge only when it reaches 5% or below )

XPERIA X10 mini
(Rooted)
i only use stock when a custom rom is somewhat unstable then once a new release of one of my favorite roms come out i run for it and install it immediately and test it. if the rom is stable enough i keep it and stick with it.
for now i use stock rom until gintonic or minicm7 pro is stable enough to use it in all its features.
i'm planning to try gintonic 2.5.1 to continue testing of it
From the moment i buy this amazing phone i didn't like that blue background. At the moment i use mod black v 1.6 from flex96 and when slade87 add Zombiepanic to his rom gin tonic.SE. I'll use this one

I hate the Stock version
I have miniCM7-2.1.3 and a HTC sense Theme it´s much better then the Stock
I like stock rom because of radio, timescape, works all the applications, no lag etc but i have minicm7 because i need dsp and ultra brightness (especially the second is very important here in Greece with the sun) so ..
