Hey guys...had my xperia for about 4 mnths now....so many roms and blah blah, i dont know where to look. I just want a rom that has minmal lag, runs fast, smooth and if volume can be a tad louder, that'll be great. where should i go from here?
regards
just get an iphone
Norti's ROM is pretty fast and very lite. But surely if you've tried lots of ROMs, you already know whats out there?
crabby
yep was going to suggest the Norti rom, as long as you don't want all the fancy looking tf3d stuff.... Otherwise give WildChilds rom a go, going to try that out tonight...
ok, well my phone is stock standard, and i use the SPB panel as my main screen because of the 16 speed contacts thing.... i only use my phone for SMS / calls, and msn messenger, internet explorer, and garmin mobile xt gps...... wat rom should i use, suggestions>
which language?
Jack's Lite 3.1 does it for me. It's still not as snappy as my friend's iPaq, but it's very quick.
Norti's nX1i is super quick base with option to add in extras. Together with Zanyee's navigation panel should do just about everything you want it to do.

Hi can you link to the navigation panel you are going on about, cheers...
IMO the current rom im using is quite fast.. If you're a Manila fan then try itje's Touch-IT v5.04 or 5.05 rom..
EDIT: Try out this link too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459328

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
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].

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!

My opinion too. Also iGO8 works well.
Based on the new Rhodium roms with sense 2.5
I am removing my roms due to conflicts with certain members at xda, this looks like it cant be solved in normal ways. And because I do not want anymore of the bickering and fighting, I am pulling my work from XDA and all support is moved to you know where. I cant even mention that name anymore here.
Sorry to see this happen here, where I have learned so much, and met so many wonderful ppl.
looks good
hi itje, this really looks great! i'm going to try the rom tomorrow. will give feedback next morning.
thank you for this rom!
Already using it. Works GREAT.
Can't believe I'm currently running a Xperia X1. I have both xperia and omnia i900 and I switched to omnia since Xperia was really slow with each ROM I tried but this build and the new version of manila are just outstanding. Spanish cookers have a lot to learn from you people yet...
Thanks for this : )

Your ROMS are good mate but occasionally every now and then manila crashes, also my X1 hangs every morning when kept on overnight charging. These bugs are applicable only on manila. Other interfaces like titanium and spbshell work fine.
I liked the rom .. it's fast and stable .. one of the best actually
happy to see touch-it with 3g dailer and task manger.
I just miss the footprints tab as well as the circular start/x buttons down the screen like in the newer OS builds .. (many ppl prefer it at the top though)
but otherwise .. the rom is great.

can u use the vol keys？ when i press the volume key no vol can be adjusted？
Can enyone report are there SOD-s with this ROM?
Lol I need to stop flashing roms before my phone explodes. Its the fastest thing I have ever used, really responsive and love that the dialer and everything works just as well in landscape. I have also found the vol rocker works to navigate up/down instead of the volume, dunno if this is a glitch or a feature?
I seem to have stopped getting SODs with the latest few roms, not sure why but Im not complaining. Just get the occasional freeze for a couple of seconds with this rom.
Overall an awesome rom, just not for me. The 24001+ is a must for me, love having the clock in the toolbar and the big mashable buttons. It would be awesome to see a superfast stable rom from you with 24001 and the latest manilla with the reader tab, gonna flash back to Touch-it BT my favourite so far.
Thanks for all your work itje, keep it up!

hi Itje, I have bin playing with my phone this morning and I found only 3 problems!
1st: Volume keys are not working (I solved this by installing Brian's Taskbar v5)
2nd: FM Radio doesn't work (also problem in earlyer rom) I instal HTC TouchHD FM Radio.cab to solve this.
3th: when reading email in sense in landscape the phone hangs when you slide down the keyboard.
This is really the best rom i've ever used! you've surpassed yourself!!
Keep up great work!!!
Thank you very very much for this rom!!!!
I am finally getting rid of my X1 (in favour of the HTC Desire) and am passing over my X1 to my wife. Can anyone recomend an easy/basic non-techy friendly ROM that I should put on it? Thanks

In fact this specific 6.1 (Evilash) is very finger frendly.
I believe a Manila version without many programs should do the job (another player installed will be great, I never used the manila one, because I find it laggy).
I don't think that she will install apps on it. The dialer, MMS , Email and SMS menus should be finger friendly. Manila has shortcuts for programs so I don't think she will ever enter in the Start-Menu.
A WM 6.1 ROM should be faster in Manila.
Cheers!
where is the difference of finger-friendly between 6.1 and 6.5?
any1 give me detail clues?
i just know 6.5x build make start on bottom help ppl deal with it with one hand make it finger-friendly

WM6.1 is make to use in stylus and little finger (Evilash rom is better) but 6.5.x is finger friendly and all setting and program is very easy use in finger.
I think the basic, non-Manilla, WM 6.5 Titanium roms would be good for her. Very simple and easy to read interface/today page. Simple scrolling up and down of the page itself, or the scrollbar. There are many of these out here...check 'em out
i'm currently using Jack'sROM v5.2b basic ( NO MANILA)
blazing fast, super smooth & very stable.
with a few customization for the looks, it's all good.
see my post for screenies>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6114197&postcount=88
i would highly recommend this ROM for those who simply wants titanium
I would recommend you to try the latest of the WildChild's Rhodium based ROMs. It sports latest Manila 2.5, moves very fast and very stable. Finger friendly as manila interface is tend to be. Perfect ROM for a person that's not tech savvy but still wants to have goodies like weather, twitter, good messaging client, etc,etc out of the box and a phone that doesn't freeze
xperias are quite user-friendly enough.. And it's better in X2..
So I suggest you should try out X2 rom by jerpelea.. I'm using it and I'm satisfied with it.. It's battery life is just okay for me.. 2-3 days.. It's fast, easy to use and looks more "Xperia"

Don't try jerpelea's X2 Roms.
Don't get me wrong, i use it myself, but for someone non-tech, you don't want a rom that has a standby of death sometimes when charging, and that ruins your whole battery..
I had it myself, phone was charging, it hung for about 4 hours when i was sleeping, i wake up. I'm like wtf whats your problem phone. battery was totally dead, i decharged it and charged it again, batery life was about 3 hours every charge since it hung during charging.
If i were you i'd put a simple Manilla 2.1 rom on it, basic windows mobile 6.1 is everything exept user friendly.
I think your best off with Jerpelea's "First Rom" it isn't his first, it's one of the best manilla roms i know.
good luck

I've had a Xperia X1 for a while now and it's been great, but it's time to move on... Dunno what I'm getting yet but I want to give my X1 to my dad, thing is, the X1 isn't the easiest phone to use if you have to call someone to turn on the TV... OK so my dad isn't that bad but I want to make the phone as simple as possible. Can someone point me to a ROM that is very easy to work with. My dad won't have appreciation for Eye Candy or animations and things like that. The only things he'll use is the Phone functions(phone, SMS and contacts) and the GPS (I use TomTom, so that's sorted)
The only thing I want in the ROM is actually something I don't want in the ROM... Panels... Sure they look good, but they crash all the time and are generally rather frustrating. I currently use 826x's ROM which has the Panel button Assigned to a task manager which is great.
At the moment I'm thinking of using this ROM as it is very fast and stable and then just using Spb mobile shell with only one homepage with shortcuts to all the stuff my father would use right there.
Can anyone give me a better solution? A ROM suggestion? Any comments will be appreciated
the stock rom is the best choice

I thought you would say Jack's ROM.
Jack's rom not a bad idea.... 3.3 Lite with VITO applications FunContact, SMS-Chat and iPhone like Winterface makes a very userfriendly phone.
Sense is the easiest to use interface, 826x is the best. Remove some tabs and install another dialer (X2 dialer is better than HTC. I call someone even that I don't want, because it initiate a call after touching a contact). The issues with sense is that is power hungry and dometimes laggy.
If you want pure speed, try a clean ROM(Twingle has a nice one, while Laurenti has a cleaner one, but it misses some important stuff). Titanium is a great interface, but you have to remove some lines, because ait is too crouded. Use Home customizer or Titanium customizer (don't remember exactly) to remove some panels and add some like weather and apps.
Cheers!
Touch-x 10.9 is the best
