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.

Thanks! You help me a lot!
My xperia come to me in Friday, here- in Poland i pay for it a lot of many... Now i had a HTC Kaiser and it's OK to me (with HyperDragon soft)
I prefer programs include a ROM, because I dont know where to find all of theme in Web (maybe can You help me? MP3 trimmer, new core player etc etc).
And the last question. In standard rom (R2A) and tweaks from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459328
Will i have this problem?:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4_oONTZ3S0
I'll be pleasure to have a fast animation without "frame by frame" efect, fast and smoothly...
It is possible in standard rom with/without these tweaks or I must to change ROM (for ex. Jack v2.3) ?
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.

Yes, that's the international code. It represents the ROM language.
Have a good (flashing) time!

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..
Im using Dutty 2.3 which im happy with.. Now i need some help from u talented peeps..
I unhid the programs tab because i like it there.. Now thats all good..
My aim is to have seperate start and programs menus, so the start has the settings apps and that kinda stuff and the programs tab has the navi, facebook etc..
1st of all, the programs tab being the start tab the bottom is cut off from it.. is there a way to sort that out?
2nd.. Maybe theres a way of having yota launcher for the programs tab and keeping the start menu as it is..
i dont know..
i think this would make the rom perfecto..
thanks..
Unfortunately your post really has very little to do with the development of ROM's, does it?
All respect to Dutty, however, your post should be directed in one of his threads or more specifically the thread in which ROM you're using, mind you dont expect the thread "author" to help you as they are mere newb like yourself.
Try to solve the issue yourself, check the "Development and Hacking" thread there is seriously an app there for everything and if all else fails then post your questions in the threads rather than starting new ones.
i got what i could from the dutty thread already, i believe it is not only his rom that has the same layout which is why i posted it on here.
thanks for your help.
Ok first I have read many posts waded through many many long sentences and even googled for other answers. but lets just get straight to the questions...
first the rumor is May11 for 6.5 final. if true what will be the final build number? Others and myself included need to know for all the cooked roms that are out there. I personally love having a ton of roms to try, but I use my phone on a daily bases and I hate to flash and set everything up to to find a newer build of the OS just came out, and everyone cooked new roms.
now for this question, I do not want in any way shape fashion or form to be a better vrs better rom. I simply want a basic no frills latest 6.5 rom without touchflo without other programs, I will pick and choose what I want to put on my phone. QuickGPS and .net 3.5 is ok, but adding all the other stuff that I will never use just takes up space. so I looked and looked for just a basic 6.5 latest build with nothing added and I cannot find it, and no I cannot cook my own do to no experience. So can someone please shed any light on a light rom with the latest 6.5 build and or if the whole may 11th thing is true then should I wait till then for 6.5
thanks for any help, and I'm sure wrapping up some 6.5 questions in one spot will help others get answers to, or even show the fine cooks out there what some others want I love the roms I have tried, but I need my phone so I cannot try all of them and putting out there what I'm looking for may land me help on a rom I missed when perusing the forums.
i've tested many roms here,but i cant find a clean one,a 6.5 simple,with no widgets,clean ram,facebook,opera,etc
who tested a clean rom 6.5 and runs good pls give me a link..
tnx guys
P.S:dont close this tread,leave it only 1 day
Mod edit: I don't know how you conducted your search but I advice on retrying. When you use advanced search, and search for "clean" only in titles you already get a few rom results and also lots of similar threads. You can vary your search term to light, pure or whatever and I'm sure you can extend your hit list.
This thread is duplicate and redundant and will be closed.

Hi guys,
I have been a long time browser of this forum, I had downloaded a few roms from here before including the 6.5 one. However, a while ago my xperia screen broke (I think it was a hardware issue because it had all lines going across it when in landscape mode). I went to repair it, they wouldn't, so I decided to buy another xperia. So now I'm back to 6.1.
My friend had put a 6.5 rom on his nokia the other day, however it had the start bar at the bottom, instead of the top like I used to.
Can anyone show me a link to a rom with the start button on the bottom which is reliable.... pictures would be great.
If anyone thinks getting this rom is a bad idea, then are there any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help, I had looked through the forums but havent been able to find what i'm looking for
Look for 23*** ROMs, the latest releases are pretty reliable.
Just look in the threads for screenshots and comment on the ROMs.
