Hello,im new in this forum. My friend to told me to join there is alot of info about x10 here. So I finally rooted my x10 and flashed all the roms. And liked only rendeiro and wolfbreak and rdnaar rom. The reason im posting this is flashing 2.1 roms the same? And what's a good fully functional 2.1 rom? Thanks everyone

use kxhawkins rom. i believe everything of a 2.1 rom is on it except for the stuff that slows it down like timescape and phone carrier crap. it has full functionality
look in the developement section for it of the x10. its the high performance one. i had it a few times and loved it.
i just wanted the gingerbread rom so thats wat i perfer

You can also check Blue Sparks by Malabarth, tried it myself

You may have to upgrade, or down grade your baseband depending on the Modded Rom

[Q] closest to stock?

Hey there I'm new to android coming from iOS. Ive been trying new roms but they havent been working that smoothly for me. Wondering if theres a rom that is very close to official 2.1 but rooted
currently running froydvillain 1.5, overclocked to 652mhz (for some reason I remember my unrooted 1.5 my hero came with to be more stable)
BTW what is RUU is there a terms thread for nubs?
RUU is a Rom Update Utility. Its an executable made by HTC to flash new roms for people who don't have root/a recovery image.
As far as stock roms go, it depends which "stock" you want. Froyd is a vanilla 2.2 rom. 2.2 hasn't officially been released for our hero, so its a little bit buggy. Cudos to the developers though, I use froyd as an every day rom, doesn't give me any gip.
Anyway, 2.1 was officially released for us by HTC, and I would heartily recommend vanillaeclair 4 for your vanilla 2.1 needs.
Sense is the HTC GUI for the hero and us "stock" as far as the hero is concerned. Chocolateeclair is made by the same Guy as vanillaeclair, but I dislike sense, so I can't really recommend any good sense roms.

Villain rom 12 if you want a no frills 100% 2.1 rom everything works.
If you want to use 2.2 i am using froydvillain 1.5 all working well but a bit heavy on the battery apart from that working lovely here.
use rcmix, it's the best 2.1 rom imo.

[Q] Which Custom ROM??

Hi,
I am currently running the below Custom ROM
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 2.1.54
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-6.1.3 v4.5
Build Number: CM6.1.3 v4.5 [2.2]
So far I havent had any problems with it, but I'd like to know if I have chosen a good custom rom to install. I have searched through the forums trying to find information about which one gives best performance, which ones dont have problems with the camera etc, and to be honest it is easy finding this information.
Anyway, all I want to know is if I am running the latest version of Cyanogen if that's the best rom. If not which one would be better and is there a good guide to installing the ROM.
Also, I have definately ROOT'ed my x10 but I have noticed that I cannot access the /Data/Data folder using ASTRO or Ghost Command.
Sorry for rambling on but just want to know if I have made the right choice.
Thanks again.
u can try wolfbreak's rom its stable and pretty much one of the fastest around
Thanks. Where would I find this installation files/guide for this, and also would I need to change my BaseBand??
I've been using Wolfs rom for quite a while, but the lack of tethering and the relatively unsatisfying battery life started bothering me so I've been using the EWJet for two weeks now.
Great 2.1 Heavily modified ROM, works smoothly and my battery lasted 3 days with several phone calls and light browsing under 75% brightness.
It's a matter of taste though.

Nope you dun have to change your baseband since wolf's rom works with .54 already
installation guide on his thread itself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
Just follow instructions for fresh install
and if theres anything wrong just check his second post for faqs.
Anyway tethering works with barnacle and battery usually last 2 days+ for me with some heavy browsing, its depends on how you use your phone i guess
I have used the rom wolfbreak is very stable and he's always updating her ta ..
Even though it's not quite uploaded yet but check out tripnraver's 1.2.0. By all accounts it's gonna be sh1t hot!

Any Froyo ROM will have working camera, Gingerbread ROMs don't have the proper drivers fully functional yet. I know Trip and J have theirs working for VGA but that's about all.
Had too many battery issues with Trips ROMs and Wolfbreak has good stuff, but again, same issues with battery. Probably just me.
rdannar's AOSP Froyo ROM works very well, very fast, and battery gives me no problems.
well i ve tried a few since my baseband is also the same as urs.. cant figure which one really is the best outta the lot..
ive tried wolfbreak's rom n its damn fast n quite gud actually but as everyone's mentioned.. the battery is smwht of a problem..
trip's rom is quite gud 2 actually.. but agn it depends on taste..
As has been said..wolfbreaks rom is the best...
He will update to a new version in the next couple of days so it may be worth hanging on for that.
I have tested the new version (Using TW 007) and I can tell you that the battery is no problem at all. (24 - 36 hours with my normal use)
He has implemented the undervolt module (Which saves battery) and it has other tweaks that save battery.
You can also use the battery optimastion method from OmegaRed (The link is in my signature at the end of this post) which greatly helps with the battery. This can be used on any rom on the x10.
Yeah man, I'm looking for a good rom to use in my X10 as well. I'm having a big problem in changing my baseband (mine is 46) to 52/55/whatever, but I'm searching the forum to resolve it.
By the roms that I've seen around, I liked Cyanogen's and another that I can't remember right now, when I come home I'll write it down =P
I don't mind having a battery life of a day and half or so, don't have to be a 3-day long-life duration...
As soon as I find out what I'm doing wrong with the baseband issue, I'll start testing roms and then I post a righteous answer

You can get your desired baseband from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960527 .
You can flash your baseband with flashtool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 .
There is a guide out there for flashtool too.
For me, i tried:
Trip's roms. They are awesome but not for me thou.
Wolfbreak's roms are stable and it have a good battery life.
EWJet is one of the best I've used but it's based on Android 2.1
And currently I'm on J 's CM7. Working great so far, satisfied with it and probably will stay with it until new roms surface again
Yesssss man =D
I didn't have the xRec installed, I guess that was the problem. Updated bb to .55 and installed Cyanogen 6.1.3 Gingerbread. AWESOME!!!
I don't know about the rest of the roms out there, but this one is perfect for me, almost everything is 'tweakable', just loved it.
Erickwill's ROM is easily the most fully functional and fastest, because it is native 2.1 so everything works.
It makes 2.1 seem like 2.3, it's that good, and it was updated to use the new baseband as well.

Its not like I don't want to help you but mostly all of your questions can be answered just by lookin' into the "Android develpment" section of this sub-forum.
You can find everything you need there; from instructions about how to flash a ROM to the ROM itself.
As for the best ROM, well, there's aint much custom ROM for the Ace now. But a stock XXKPH might be the one you lookin' for.
Used it for almost a moth now and still no SODs or crap like that.
Hope this help.

KPH is what you are looking for.
I've used every rom out there but I find it the best one.
Use cf-root kernel on it & apply some tweaks. It'll fulfill all your needs.
Don't forget to hit thanks if I helped you!
Code Rom is the best till now .
Fast, stable with darktremors apps2sd and ext 4 support in nexus ace .

As you can see from comments above; such 'best ROM' is relative to each people.
One may want features that others dont and vice versa.
You should try one by one and find which suits you best.

You don't need to go back to the same firmware. If you want to go back to froyo then you flash with DDKC1.

The thing would be void warranty if you want to get an exchange... they do check your firmware version.

Hey!
I think all ROM-s DEVELOPERS and others, who may include needed things in ROM(custom ones)are WORTH for BIG RESPECT(developers are doing what they can and after that they MAYBE can IMPROVE, already made out ROM-s)!!!
CHEERS!
try stock 2.3.4 + custom kernel cf-root... no any kind of bugs for me..
If you really want a stock gingerbread firmware (stock means no modification at all, no custom kernel) then I can suggest 2.3.3 KPN from Spain. No SOD so far, wake up lag almost does not exist (both problems are in 2.3.4 KPH).
However, if you can live with a from time to time SOD or with the wake up lag, 2.3.4 KPH is enough. Also, if you go KPH, there's a lot of custom ROM for it now.

I agree and vote for KPN. Haven't encountered any SOD yet ( I use my SGA as a portable hotspot for an average of 6 hours a day, and with KPH, SOD happens twice a day) Hope it stays stable..
2.3.3 XWKPN is the best for me

Need help updating phone

Hey guys,
My wife has a vibrant and i was wondering how to update it to gingerbread roms. We bought it from a friend who. Already rooted it and has bionix v1.3.1 on it. I'm notbto familiar with the vibrant. I've rooted my g1, hd2, and now my nexus s. Can I just download the gb rom and flash it in recovery?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Best thing to do is read. First check out the custom bootloader thread. While the bootloaders aren't required they do solve a couple major problems. Next check out the different GB roms for instructions. I've posted instructions for coming from froyo in my thread as have others.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
First of all you already have one one of the most stable ROMs on that phone already. Second there is no official GB ROM for the Vibrant and even though there are alot of GB ROMs out there for the Vibrant, they are not from the true source so they won't be as stable as the Froyo ROMs avialable with battery and GPS being the main issue. The reason Im telling you this is if your wife is like my wife that bearly just learned to work a smartphone and will come to you for any issue, you're better off flashing the most stable Froyo ROM out there for her, but if I'm wrong and she could deal with issues herself then take your pick out there.
If you do decide to stay with Bionix 1.3.1 just reboot on recovery and see if he still has the bionix zip file store in the sd and just reinstall it and it will do a full wipe.

2.2 roms are all custom as see never released 2.2 for x10.
I suggest you wait and stick with 2.3.
If you can do that, look for wolfs 2.2 ROM or flash a generic stock 2.1

What could be so bad that u need to switch back to 2.1 or 2.2 im curious
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
I just found (not only on x10 but many other phones) that 2.1 and 2.2, although missing a couple of options, run a lot smoother, not many errors, gingerbread has quite a few errors, although the great rom mods have done a good job of ironing out problems, I suppose its personal taste....
so any good 2.2/2.1 custom roms?
