Best Rom?

Hi there at the beggining my xperia was running pretty fast now after just installing xperia tweak and sktools,It's slow which is really annoying ALWAYS after I make a call or I answer a call.
So I was wondering which rom would you prefer so that the device would work smooth?
thanks

This is a forbidden question in XDA.
There is no "best" rom for any device. Different rom/chef may have different approach/audience. Rom that work best for you doesn't mean it work for others. Therefore, try them all and pick whichever work best for you.

That's a rather interesting saying, I think that could go either way in the states haha!
I do like the Touch-IT rom's, but don't like how TF3D insists on handling messaging and stuff. I happen to like WinMo. I'll be trying the 6.5 rom out in a little.
It's all personal preference though, it's really not a complicated process to flash a rom so you can try as many as you like. If you need help, feel free to PM me and I can help. I'm almost always on here.

Same theory apply. It's easy for me doesn't mean easy for you. Do read and search since everything you need/asked is already in the stickies.

If it was easy for you to flash to a custom rom it should be easy for you to revert back to the original rom... Read the description of the rom before flashing to see if there is anything you really dislike in it ;-)

Why don't you just use search for all your questions? (Actually, you don't even need to search since answers to ALL your questions are already sticky in the first page)

I think you need to add things like:
If you want a stable Android 1.6, Then you will want myns warm donut
If you want a stable Android 2.1, Then you will want mssmison's eclair
ect....
Say what things like crobs tutorial is (nand install instructions)
lay it out nicer instead of it being in a paragraph. Put things in one line format. ect..
But this will get lost in the sauce without a sticky.

I understand you want this to remain near the top, but adding three consecutive posts isn't the way to go about it. There is an edit button for this purpose.

but edit wont bring it back to the top im just trying to help clean this place up a bit cause people keep asking the same questions over and over and then they get an attitude about it when you kindly ask them to search.

I'm entertained by your response, and here's why. You say you kindly ask people, but I'm failing to see that anywhere. Let me illustrate:

In both these examples, I don't see the word please, thank you, or even a question mark. You're not asking, you are presuming people are ignorant and rudely telling them to do something they may have already done, without bringing them any closer to a solution. That's why people get upset.
If finding every answer is as simple for you as you imply, you should either help them find an answer or do not contribute.

discussion over. let this thread either get deleted or pushed back. im just gonna let the forum get overun with the same questions. i dont even care anymore

not the attitude to have, I been here and there on these android threads for a long time now. It would be great if you get this stickied but all of these references have been referenced oh so many times already, It doesn't matter how many times threads like this get posted people are naturally lazy and don't know how to do things for themselves its a trait you have to teach yourself when you are very very young These people are not going to search or read they are going to go for the easy out and just ask all the meanwhile pissing everyone off. I say just go about what you do and ignore the same old same old, let them learn, some lessons need learned the hard way.

wow wtf now im dreaming of ROMs and Chefs??

Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha

How to make a theme?

How would one make their own theme? I want to make one for my phone!

Try the UOT Kitchen (link below) as a starter. There are tons of options as long as your rom is deodexed.
