Hi, it's just so manny posts about all Roms out there. Which one should I pick for best results? I want it to be the fastest *doh*.
anyhow, do you guys recommend me to install a new cab, since I am using the new firmware(or what's it called) that SE released earlier this year. Don't know what to call it. That one, and alot of panels and tweaks. It feels like my xperia is "too much random applications-installed" right now, and I'd like a new fresh one with everything pre-installed. No overflod of unnessesary appz.
But with all the good out there, yet released. Such as all the Panels and great appz of course.
So, which panel do you recommend and why? (Fast and with alot of pre-installed stuff, settings and tweaks..)
Thx all for a wonderful oppertunity to fix the Xperia, since SE don't want to =)
(edit: Swedish rom would be nice)
I've tried a lot of the roms on here and i'd say the current best are either:
norti's nX1i v1.02 [LiteSpeed][UC][WWE/SPA/GER][R2A] - Best lite build with no TouchFLO and good UC pack.
itje's [WWE] Touch-IT v4.0 "Landscape" RC1.1 - TouchFLO lots included in build but no UC.
However once you know how to flash your phone it's worth trying out a few and seeing which you like best.
okej, thanks for the advice! I've read a bit about flashing the phone. Just to be clear, everyting on it dissapear right? (contact and such) Maybe I can just make a backup =) (any good backup sync appz, or just the orginal SE?)

download ppcpimbackup... do a search... itll backup sms/contact/appoiintments etc
btw, what's UC?
Tried the secound one you recommended, TouchIT. Sure, it's nice but damn slow.. :/ and no tweaks!
i think that jack 2.6 the best is.... totally bug free (except the known limitation on HD camera and TF3D 2) fast, stable, battery life is ok! youtube works, footprints works... tom tom works fine.. great rom!!
itje's [WWE] Touch-IT v4.0 "Landscape" RC1.1
Nothing Better for x1 developed yet...
UC = User Customization. It's a program that automaticaly installs progams / copies files when you first boot the new rom. You can tell it what to install etc by editing the config file.
Touch-IT v4.0 B3 was one of the best TouchFLO impementations i've tried but a little slow running panels. I also tried an older version of Jacks Rom but had a few crashes and found some apps needed registering.
I prefer to use the sbp panel rather than TouchFLO so I'm now using nX1i v1.02 [LiteSpeed] which is a very lite ROM with UC that allows you to pick and choose what addtional stuff you want installing.
It's so easy to flash the rom using the SD card method its worth trying a few to see what you like. I found a few nice features on different roms then applied my favorite bits from all of them to nX1i v1.02 [LiteSpeed].

your right and it is fast and stable
I use Jack's V2.1 Light, great base ROM to start from if you don't like Touchflo! I've kept it pretty light, installed a few tweaks and added PointUI 2 (Black Theme with a custom X1 wallpaper, starting work on an X1 theme now). Runs like a dream!
Before that i was running the base cMEX ROM, but i changed when the new firmware came out (there was no Touchflo-free version of cMEX running that firmware at the time). Also tried itje's ROMs, but they're not really my cup of tea. Very complete and stable, but not as fast as what i'm running now.
I just tried the Lite-rom, didnt like it at all. Going back to TouchIT. it's a shame that none of above recommended has Swedish as a alternative
Thx all for comments! Still looking for the ultimate one!

I think there is no best rom.
Everyone's work is perfect.
I used some of them,I like itje's best.
Although I think itje's is perfect,I can not say it's best...

Hi everybody. I have a X1i that I have been using for 4 months or so. I really hated the stock rom. I lurked around this forum for a little while after reading about it somewhere (forgot where). Saw all these glorious roms that I was afraid to try cause I had no idea was HARD SPL was, until this morning when I flashed the TOUCH-IT 4.0 Landscape rom. I have a few questions if you guys can help me
Im fairly new here so I hope you can forgive my question if its been asked before. I searched back a dozen or so pages and couldnt find a similar thread.
Which ROM is most user friendly and stable so far? The nX1i Lightspeed or Touch-IT Landscape 4.0 or the Generic RA10 UK rom?
Currently I am using the Touch-IT Landscape by ITJE and i love it. Much better than the original rom my xperia was shipped with. Video is noticeably better.
However, if i do not need touch-flo, should I use the generic RA10 rom or nX1i rom instead?
Also, for youtube, i kept reading that I need to install the youtube.cab from blackstone. Where can I get this cab? I've tried installing previous youtube.cab but I guess they were the wrong version cause youtube doesnt work and the panel does not show up.
previously I tried cabs located

You can find the correct youtube.cab and the panel for it in my collection topic (in my signature), it should work fine on WWE roms installing the cab first and the panel after.
If im already using TOUCH-IT v4.0 Landscape, do I still need the WVGAFix?

WVGAFix is for such applications that cannot run in WVGA only in QVGA,VGA or other. You can change the screen's resolution on the X1 with this, so you might need this for some apps.
despite to itje's great work, new tflo3d isn't 100% stable and some crash happens. If you need a full and stable rom stay with itje' 3.5 or something else but don't choose a rom with new manila landscape, we have to wait a bit more before using it every day
Also, generic rom sucks, now we have many great rom from our cookers, choose one of them and be happy
Unfortunately, which is best is very hard to answer because everyone has different requirements and perceptions of what is good.
I have tried Jack's roms, itje's roms and now the nx1 rom.
For me the most important thing is my perception of responsiveness. I also want to have a highly customizable device and therefore tf3d is not ideal. Given this, the nx1 rom seems to be the best for me. All the roms seemed reasonably stable but I am still playing around with it so much that it is difficult to know whether any problems are caused by the software I am loading or the rom.
The best thing to do would be to read the comments people are leaving regarding the different roms and then if you like the sound of it, give one a go. Unfortunately this is a time consuming process.
d0z3y, can You paste here link to nx1 rom or itje ?
And question from me:
Is there available rom, that it is stable, very fast (graphic too) and have generic panels or it's nice to be a SPB panel or Manila HD panel ?
Please help me, bacause i've found difficulty with understanding every information about roms in topics. I dont speak english very well.
Can You answer me with simple english ?
TIA
You should just look in the route forum of this thread and you can find them all there, and many more.......

Here you will find all available Roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801 including links to nx1 rom or itje.
I can personally advice you to try all different roms. In 1 day you can flash about 4-5 Roms, play with them and understand which one is your best. This is the only way to really understand what you need.
However, up to me:
- jack v2.1 is the best "naked" Rom to start from. It has almost nothing, so you can fully customize it.
- Jack v2.3 has tf3d, so you get smooth graphic but it sometimes freeze.
- nx1 is like jackv2.1 but with some apps in, panels preloaded and stable/fast.
So, as you can see, and as everyone told you, you have to try them to find the most suitable. It's like a pair of shoes: you ahv eto try them to tell which one fits you.
[email protected] - thank You a lot ! Now i undestand it.
Can You tell me- is there a huge difference between new standard soft (R2A) and these roms like nx1 etc.? With stable, fast, and freeze/do not freeze?

My 2 cents:
Standard (Stock) ROM R2A is stable and acceptable.
Jack v2.1 is optimezed to be fast & stable but you have no programs.
Jack v2.3 & nx1 are stable in 90% of cases and faster than sotck ROM, with a nice fluid interface.
Those are my "pair of shoes". I use them, because I want a stable, fast, fully customizable ROM.
Now just ask yourself: what am I looking for? do I want to search and install programs on my own, or just find them inside a ROM? I want a cool interface? I want to try the coolest, latest ROM out here (most probably unstable) or go for a stable ROM?
Answer yourself, and then go into ervey ROM post (you can do it, you'll just have to visit 10 post...), read the first three post with the description of the ROM and choose the one that best fit your answers.
That's all I can do, I can not tell you install this or that.

P.S. When I find a rom with [SWE] its mean that this rom are with only Swedish language, not English?

Wow... never ever seen an Xperia that slow. Mine has never been, I am sure that you will never experience that slow frame by frame effect, unless you are running 5 programs simultaneously (man, even a Core Quad extreme would slow down if you load 10 programs at one time!!!)
P.S.: Jack v2.3 doesn't have Panel Manager as default. It has Touch Flow 3D (TF3d). However, you can always install panel manager on your own.

Hi again!
This effect appear without running any programs (i've seen other video on youtube, where somebody first had shown that any programs are running, and next gone panels and opened qwerty- the same effect, frame by frame... What is wrong with these xperia? In brand new does it work fine?
Unfortunatly i'm looking for ROM with Panel Manager and deuflat panels. And manila 3d too. So is there any rom like that? (of course in English, because my language will be in about 1month in oryginal SE ROM).
TIA for answer!
imho panels by default are crap slow and unresponsive, it consumes a lot of ram. New upcoming version promises opengl sdk and should be better, will see... For now I get rid of panels as soon as possible every time I flash
Can anybody compare Miri's & David's ROMs? I have tried both, but both has some or the other non-functional applications. For e.g, the QuickGPS doesn't work properly on both the ROMs, even after several soft resets it works inconsistently. Audio booster does not work on David's ROM but it does on Miri's ROM, on the other hand YouTube does not work on Miri's ROM but works perfectly on David's ROM. I want a ROM where at least all the cooked applications are functional. Similarly Miri's ROM has TF3D included which works perfectly but the standard version of David's ROM does not have it, and the Manilla version is too sluggish to be able to use on a daily basis when I use my HD as the primary phone and do lots of serious dealings where inconsistency can be a problem.
So I was hoping if some people could compare these 2 ROMs and give their opinion here.
Your fishing for a thread closure !!!!!

He has removed half the things that I use on a daily basis, like youtube, PDF reader, Google maps & many other things...
onkolog roms are neat and really great, you have to try it to feel the beauty of "lite"ness.
Adding to that, you can install anything you like on top of it.
The advantage is that you will not have anything (well almost) that you do not need.
Nevertheless if you do not want to install the standard apps found in other ROM manually, then you should stick with the ROMs prepared by others.

I'm looking for WM 6.5 ROMs...
I personally prefer Miri's builds, though I have a weird Opera symbol bug and sometimes I think the phone could be faster (that's to do with me installing bad apps though). David's I tried once or twice both 6.1 and 6.5 didn't like either. I think it may have had something to do with the many preinstalled applications.
I am starting to get pretty bored of TouchFlo3d and the 6.5 Titanium interface so I was excited to try out SPB mobile shell 3.0 but I don't know what ROM I should flash before I get it. Does anyone have any suggestions? maybe the stock ROM? maybe something else for speed? maybe a 6.5 rom? anyone got any suggestions of what ROM would work best with it? Thanks, any advise is much appreciated
SPB MS 3 works great with the stock roms R2A and R3A and it is very fast. I would recommend you version 3.01, as there is huge improvement in rotation speed (landscape to portrait and vice versa). I'm not sure though that you you need specific rom to launch SPB Mobile shell. It should be working fine with any X1 rom. Just give it a try.
I use MS 3.01 with my stock ROM. And although I have still R1A, it works great for me. Speedwise I'm absolutely happy.
Why I never patch? Well, never change a running system!
Sweet Thanks man. Does anyone see a downside to using the stock rom? I have been using custom ROMs for a while now and it would be weird to go back to the stock ROM. Anyone else have any input?
Why go back to stock ROM? I assume you can easily install MS3 on a cooked ROM. Mine works on a stock ROM, but I have removed the startup files for the panels, since I don;t use them at all.
Yeah, I would prefer to stick with a cooked ROM because they always seem to be the best. However I am ask WHICH one would be the best? if I can't come up with an answer I will probably go with the R3A just because... yeah I don't know
Recommendation
I'm using Gtrab's Barebones R3.61 - WM6.5 Build 21815 with SPB Mobile 3.01. Works very well, nice and quick, can add extra HTC apps and panels via cab installation, highly recommended.
if You are using panels then I would recommend generic r3a uk rom. fast, stable, no bugs. You'll have to tweak it a bit though, but I guess everyone uses xperia tweak these days, isn't it?
I am using TouchIT v8 (non TF3D) with MS3, an excellent combo, very stable and itje's excellent cooked rom.
Hi guys,
I am getting an X1 in a few days and would like to know opinions on what the most stable 6.5 ROM out there at the moment is. Also some comments about speed and usability compared to stock would be appreciated!
Hopefully others will find this info useful, too, so please keep it civil.
-Oobly
well i think the most stable would be either one of itje's or agent_47's., the ones with manila 2.1 though because the leo versions are still in beta.
one of the best customised would be NRG's. of course being the flashaholic that i am i switch between all three for every new rom thats posted

Try....V-Lite 4.3 by mobilevu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505214
This guy knows his kitchen, ive been using his roms since he started posting his work. I havn't had any problems regarding speed and stability
For me:
NEW V-LITE 4.3 COBALT HARDCORE EDITION FINAL (Stable)
The Energy-ROM with manila 2.1 is very stable and responsive. In my opinion the best, since speed is good for almost every program, many useful tweaks and programs included. I've tried most manila ROMs and found this one the best on all fronts. I must say I haven't tried the V-LITE COBALT yet.
Make sure you don't compare titanium with manila ROMs
And then also make a difference between manila 2.1 and 2.5
V-Lite is a very good non-manila ROM, but stayed on 23004
Valkyrie is state of the art, both with and w/o manila
Energy is eye-candy with some little bumps (video-lag) for Titanium.
Which bumps have you encountered in the Energy ROM if I may ask, haven't found one yet. Even the manila 2.5 is working smooth on most fronts except the SMS app is a little crappy, but I can work with it.
Thanks for the replies guys, keep em coming! The more opinions the better.
I see Agent_47's Valkyrie 2.9 FS has reworked OEM drivers and neo2007 3D drivers. He seems to post fixes pretty quickly in response to bug reports, too.
V-Lite also looks good... apparently stable and very functional while still looking very nice.
So many ROMs, posted so often...
oh boy! I think I am going to become a flashing addict....

Same for me: despite all those, i love this rom (still using the 05.08.2009 version, as this is bug free).
I have spent a while looking around for the answer & not found it.
I have the standard R3 UK ROM & want to put TF on top of that without having to flash a custom 6.1 or 6.5 ROM.
I have seen demos of TF 2.5 & 2.6 & they look great, so has anyone come up with a single CAB installer for these that I can install & enjoy without having to tweak and flash ?
I hope so ....
Think the reason why you haven't found an answer is cos there ain't any cab installer for TF3D2.5
Just flash a rom.

No cab, sorry, there is no reason to make one since it wouldn't work on WM6.1 (actually, there are no ROMs with WM6.1 and Leo). And, even if it would work, performances are too bad to use it in everyday life.
Sorry, actualy the only way to get it is flashing a WM6.5 ROM
Why dont you try spb mobile shell 3.0 panel it is as good as touch flo, works as a panel, and works with wm 6.1, even the R1 rom, only problem is that it is korean, needs minor mods to make it english and make the SMS work

Thx, that's actually what I'm doing already & it is very good, but seeing the demos of TF3D there are clearly things that HTC can do better than others.
The general message is that it needs WM6.5 to function, I'll wait for a while because the WM6.5 ROMs that I've used to date have all been pretty slow and not added anything to the experience of the X1.
Thanks all
