Hi, I have read a lot about ROMs for Xperia, but I couldn't find any special one that is:
- very stable
- and lite/light
- with the latest bug fix
If you have any suggestion about the ROM matching this needs ?
Note: I don't need to have Panels, or TouchFlo.
if you need an english rom, then use jack's lite rom
Yes, I forgot to mention, I want an English ROM.
So the jack v2.1 lite, I will have take a look at it
Yes, I would definitively suggest you the Jack v2.1

JL's v2.1 lite is excellent - very fast, stable and leaves lots of Storage and RAM free. No TouchFlo, Cube, Manila or other pseudo-iphoney fluff
I've used it for about 4 days now with no issues, upgraded from v1.04 Lite
Use radio 1.10.25.18 (in the ROM sticky). Apart from installing my own apps, the only addition I've used is the "blue" WVGA Commmanager from an Itje thread
Only gripe (and nothing to do with the JL ROM), is the absolute lack of VGA phonepad skins that are not black.
I have tried jack ROM, good as far as now
Jack spanish?

I'm new smartphone user. I've done research on how to flash ROM, cause I want to flash english version. Now I have german O2 1.14.
I want original (shiped) ROM as to be stable and reliable. I thought the highest version could be the best, so I'm prepared to flash this ROM --> RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
What do you think of it?
I'd like to make sure because I don't want to flash my HD anymore then, until original 6.5 comes.

In my opinion yes HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0 is a stable Shipped ROM. I was using this for few weeks in Switzerland (Converted from German Version) and now i have switced over to cooked version.
tanks for reply. I just flashed HKCSL and I think it's OK.
What custom ROM did you flash? How is it?
Now with Laurentius
I use to change often currently i am running with L26_THDV7.5_WWE from Laurentius26 earlier was using rom from dutty. Though laurentius26 upgraded to Ver 8.0. I love 7.5 version...for its stability, will work with this for sometime and will upgrade to ver 9.0 release later. Guess it will be released in a week.
I've been using HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0 for a while... really stable rom...
b4 I switched to 6.5 Winmo ~^^
@rainbowsong2000, I'd change ROM often too, but I guess it's annoying allways to customize the phone after flashing!?
@lcw622, how is the 6.5 ROM (stability, user interface)? I'm allways interested in the new stuff - on desktop I use Win7...but on the phone I'm not used to test-->It's only my second smartphone after using Tytn for couple of months.

I am using the David's 6.5 V4 /w TF3D (only use TF3D for music playing ATM, 99% titanium bcoz it cost quite a lot of ram with the WMP+today plugin with titanium).. anyway the rom itself is stable enough for daily use... but since it's still the "BETA"... things might got a little messy sometime(for me the case would be...Dual Lock Screen....TF3D+Slide Lock..=0="...so...soft reset would be needed... but I enjoy being a test mouse XD ... and it might just bcoz of me trying to use WWE 6.5 ROM with the OEM Winmo Chinese full screen hand writing... but not the 3rd-party ones... and/ or might be the tweaks I did myself...
but I'd say... it's totally fine being daily applications...
I'm at a complete loss here. The only recent ROM that I've been able to get SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 to work well on is the Christian's ROM - and that's because it is already cooked in. When I try to install it in any of the other ROMS the menu bar at the bottom of the screen persists and covers up my mobile shell (see pic). I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem. Am I missing something?
Nope, they changed the design in the later WM6.5 builds.
Use 23016 rom if you don't want that issue.

I'm also using the newest builds but don't have the problem.
It's working fine in my rom. Don't know what it is sorry
Great. Thanks.
if i remember there is a leak panel from korea with spb 3 but it is in korean, you will need to tweak it into english - the guide is provided in that thread. just search the xda x1 application forum. with that you can install spb 3 in any rom as long as there is support for x1 panels in the rom.
here is the linky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541280&highlight=spb+mobile+panel
spb3 looks neat can i install it on energy roms latest build?

Yeah, been all through that thread. That is the panel I have installed, and I have converted it to English as instructed. No luck. For now I'm using a WM6.1 ROM with no problems.
No problems with NRGZ28 Leo ROM. Love the 3d carousel!
well then cont with christian rom with build in spb3 - it's a very good rom anyway. i forgot which rom i tried the korean spb panel but it was working then
I'm using SpikeGotti's "Xperia 6.5 UnOff v3" ROM. It's based on the older 6.5 build before the big bottom screen buttons. Stable for day-to-day use and SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 works nicely.
Just installed MS 3.5 tonight. Looks great and works well so far.

After flashing it is recommended to perform a hard reset. Scroll down for version history.
No radio, ipl or spl included. Please use an appropriate spl before flashing this rom.
This rom comes as it is and is meant for those that like the rom as close to stock as possible. All Rhodium packages, mostly untouched but slightly tweakt here and there. So you basically get a 98% Rhodium port with minor additions. When you want a fully tweaked rom I recommend Topix.

6.5 version from KWBR
Hi kwbr, you know that i am fan of your Vanilla ROMs but... why you don't use as base 1.59.709.0 Blackstone ROM and newer build 5.2.21870?
Great rom, very fast! Thanks.
great .. will try it soon

Expectations
Another Vanilla and this time 6.5... very exciting... if it's from kwbr it's going to be a good one...
I'm waiting for this rom so far.
Thanks for the release.
I hope kwbr is using a version of touchflo which resolves the bluetooth AVRCP issues, where it doesn't keep opening windows media player. It appears only the older 2.1 releases are bug free, such as the version Kwbr used in his Topix 3.0 release... I'll keep my fingers crossed...
can we get any info about versions of softwares included, ram usage and screenshots... tht be nice
great work, I've been after a Rhodium vanilla series for a while
Thanks
I think I have found the ROM I didn't even know I was looking for
Thanks kwbr, this ROM hits the spot. Seems smooth and stable and complete, not like the other ROMs out there chasing the latest builds of everything bringing in the latest bugs with everything too!
I don't think Manila 2.5 (especially the landscape images and music tabs) will ever work well on the HD because the HD2 has better spec's... so it's good to get the best of what is out there for similar spec' phones and port it to the HD. Nice one.
How to changed the default wallpaper from purplish to black? Because the clock transparency is too high and makes it like a grey ulgy patch.
Can someone please post some picks.
I wanted to know if someone has , or knows of an untouched version of a WM6.5 rom for the Viva, similar to the wm6.1 that comes with the phone,at least in terms of installed stock programs, since I've tried every ROM available, but the most of them, doesn't have the phone pad with t9 in spanish, nor any of the standard keyboards and since I use spanish as my native language, I really need it.
And many of the available ROMS has too many tweaks that affect battery life, or some bugs that cannot allow the volume rocker to be locked, to mention some bugs.. I'd love to to cook a rom for my viva, if I knew how to do it, but since I don't know...
Thanks, pals!
Frank.
I think Jagan's Evolution Ultimate Beta is what you're looking for. It's not customized, and it's pure and light, and doesn't have any of the bugs you mentioned. You can flash it and customize it to your liking.
It doesn't have a Spanish keyboard, but you could use the original EzInput 1.5 keyboard (the same one as the stock 6.1 ROM). It has Spanish support with T9 too.
Download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
CAUTION: The EzInput version 2 might cause some problems on WM6.5 so I recommend you install the older version 1.5 only!
You could also try FingerKeyboard which provides support for many languages including Spanish. Get it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501434
Good luck.
Ok, I've tried it, and I can't get to work Manila 2d & EZinput on it... any hints? Since I've already downloaded the Cab's but it doesn't work at all...
Try downloading this cab:
http://www.4shared.com/file/YW2_fEqG/BJK_HTC_EzInput_QVGA_EN_FR_DE_.html
It works for me, and I can switch languages and other keyboards. But make sure you uninstall all the previous keyboards before trying this cab.
As for Manila 2D, try the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750
Carefully follow the instructions there to make it work on your device. Other users have tried it and it works for them. I didn't try it myself because I'm using SPB Mobile Shell instead of Manila 2D so I don't know if it's going to work with you or not.
In case it doesn't work, why don't you try flashing the Evo 2.5A ROM?
Thanks for the support, GFX! I've finally got all to work! I've used the tools you posted on your first reply, for some reason I couldn't do it before.. strange.. All worked out like a charm after a 2nd reflash...weird, huh? Well, I appreciate your effort, thanks a lot!
Frank.
PS: Do you know if Manila 1.2 is available for WM6.5?

You're welcome!
Glad it worked out with you.
Enjoy your Viva..
Well,I'll give some feedback:
After some testing,tweaking, hard-resetting and so, I decided to give up TOUCHFlo,and stick to WM6.5's normal gui, since it Manila doesn't work well on wm6.5 viva, manila 2d 2.0 after full installing, it becames too heavy for the phone, it gives ~35mb of free memory, manila 2d 1.2 has better performance,around ~70mb of free memory, but is a beta and it's not complete, since many of the tabs don't work.
I've tried almost any WM6.5 rom posted here, and in other forums, like the PhamQuang ones (from V21 to V27), the older evolution series (Evo,Evo+,Evo ESN,Evo2, Evo2.5A), Angel Azul, Angel negro, and some others I don't remember. This is the most stable rom that I've tested, it's fast, almost bugless, and clean, GFX was right. I totally recommend it.
By the way, which UI do you use? I want some fast & lightweight one.

Happy Thanksgiving guys! Been thankful for the helpful tips and tricks with my lovely X1 I bought last year's Black Friday event!
Quick question.
How do I get Cookie's Home Tab to work on my Win6.1 platform? I read on that you need Manila or Sense 2.5, any download links for those will help. Search function, yes, but I dont know which one pertaining to 6.1!
Thanks in advance
Maybe I'm wrong but I guess you'll need to flash another ROM incl. Sense... AFAIK Sense is not available as "installable application".
1. hardSPL
2. download new ROM (e.g. Energy ROM, see link in my signature)
3. flash from SD (instructions here)
^Thanks, just got it done yesterday. Installed Valkyrie rom, but it came with outdated 1.8 ver. instead of 2.0 D:
Valkyrie is a bit dead rom meaning that agent is developing only if major updates take place. I was ex-valkyrie-fun. However I believe that he has released a rom with cht2 (at least beta version).
why dont u try energy rom? it has for sure what you need...

I switched from Valkyrie to 826x. 826x had no additional add-ons, just the ROM upgrade, so it was really convenient to switch. Now running CHT + Editor 2.0.0.
Still trying to get use to the low battery fluctuations compared to a Stock ROM, but loving the new interface and programs it can run now!
