[Q] Which Android ROM is better? - XPERIA X1 Android Development

I was wondering has anyone tried out these ROMs:
[ROM][05 APR 11][F1 CyanogenMod 7 V1][EXT2]
[ROM][28 Mar 11][F1 Froyo 2.2.2 V3][FAT32]
[ROM][19 Feb 11][F1 Gingerbread 2.3.1 V2][EXT2][27.8 FPS]
and could tell me which one of them is best or just works better.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, and a side note: I have installed an Android ROM before and every time the phone restarted it would boot back into Windows Mobile, but in the instructions for installing the Android ROM it says to restart your device after installing the ROM to speed it up... Am I doing something wrong because I can't restart it without having to reinstall Android all over again?
Thanks To Anyone Who Can Help.

with the ext2 version you run the install.exe which install the ROM, after that you run haret.exe and with that you launch android. It will allway boot into winmo and after that you can run android with haret.exe. So it is normal.

You don't need to install android all over again. After you've installed it the 1st time, just click on Haret.exe to run android

IMO CM7 is the best one works fast and is beautyful, just market has problem but you can get another market instead

[Q] Will daveid's rooted repack be able to automatically update to honeycomb?

Sorry, bit of a noob at this. I just installed CWM, about to install the ROM on the below link. I don't want to have to re-configure everything by installing a new ROM once honeycomb is released, if possible. Would his, which is a rooted and slightly modified version of the official Dell update, be able to update to Dell's official Honeycomb automatically, without having to add a new version with CWM and lose all my apps?

You will have to wipe regardless and hc isn't no where near ready yet.

Help upgrading to 4.2.2 from 4.0.4

Hello,
I upgraded to an ICS version 4.0.4 awhile ago through this website and it was a pretty painless process. Though recently I've been wanting a new phone, but looked into Bionic's software development and I see that I might be able to hold off if I can install 4.2.2 which seems to improve the phone a lot. Currently i am on system version 6.7.232.xt875, android version 4.0.4, build number 6.7.2-223_dbn_m4-9. I've tried installing safestrap 3.11 to start the process of installing CM 10.1 but it crashes every time I try to run it. Can someone please provide me with a starting path towards upgrading my firmware.
Thank You

You need to take the stock OTA (4.1) to get CM to run.

Modernised ROM install

After having the HP Touchpad sitting on the shelf for one year, I decided to install a newer KitKat ROM to get rid of blacked out mail content and web pages that appeared after the initial move 2013 to KitKat 4.4
First I tried to figure out my current setup, because of what I learned a repartioning would be needed to support the current ROMS with there media/data structure that had been introduced with the newer builds.
I run CyanogenMod 11-20131118-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin build-no. cm_tenderloin-userdebug 4.4 KRT16M 05dd1588ec test-keys with a 2.6.35 kernel on with moboot 038 and CWM 5026
SD-Card info shows 25,42 GB internal storage 1,48G
Back then I used tailor or a similiar tool to resize
A good info about the newer tools I found was lilyputing:
http://liliputing.com/2014/06/use-touchpad-toolbox-install-android-erase-webos-hp-touchpad.html
Wasn't sure about how to proceed while no updates showed up using the built-in updtae check function and of course Roland's Tutorials had been the first place I went heading to as well:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/179730-r...-with-jcsullins-tptoolbox-the-super-easy-way/
Now I am stuck with getting TP Toolbox to work. Novacom still installed on the windows 7 box, but not connecting to the touchpad.
I booted into WebOs recovery using the moboot selector, but...
Leaving the WebOS recovery was done then by pressing the home and power buttons simultaneously for about 20secs until the tablet rebooted.
I guess I have to move on, leaving WebOS because support ends January 2015 and even connecting to google mail is getting complicated under WebOS.
The current ROM is not working well, so I need an update. Any suggestions?
BTW: I thought to move on to JCSullins ROM, because the 20141231 build had good feedback regarding stability and number of bugs, especially energy consumption. Anyway it doesn't show up any more on the list of downloadable ROMS since yesterday.

Maybe ask in proper thread and not development. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431949
Assuming at some time soon a mod will lock this or move it...but until then...
Might want to check out the Evervolv 5 (Lollipop) ROM. It's the latest version of Android, and for the most part works well on the Touchpad. Otherwise, jcusllins, milaq and a few others have sustainable builds that are worth using if you want to stay on Kit Kat.
Been using Evervolv 5 for everything but work e-mail due to missing encryption, but otherwise I have no real issues with the builds.

Could solve the install task. The novacom service had to be enabled first.
I'm wondering why some guides claim to use ACMEuninstaller to uninstall Android first. Tptoolbox will wipe cache and data anyway, right?

Thats the only way we had until tp toolbox was released with that capability.
Ah, I see.
Novacom provides similar functions like ADB more (or) less.
TPTOOLBOX needs to be pushed first. After initial setup the recovery mods do the job to install other ROMs, right?
I got Philz CWRM on the tablet. Is TWRP preferable?
With the jcsullins from november I cant get bluetooth to work and battery drain is high. Especially compared to WebOS which let me have the tablet in sleep mode for a week or so.
Now battery is going down in half a day. I think I give the A6 flush from TPTOOLBOX a try as soon as the december ROM from jcsullins is back online again to solve the bluetooth issue.

Thinking of flashing Cyanogen but have a lingering questions

Currently I'm using Android evolution. It's a popular rom, no complaints. I installed it after I was unable to get my phone to boot normally so... other than performance improvements, it's not a major upgrade over my stock install.
However, more and more I've been thinking of trying out the cyanogen operating system. One thing is getting at me though. The Android evolution ROM was over a gigabyte in size when installed.
Looking at the latest cyanogen release for the m7, it's about 260mb. What gives? Is it simply a case that it lacks applications and I'll have to install them all one by one?

Is your x1 ii rooted? Can you roll back to Android 10?

Not rooted, was thinking of flashing bk the official Sony Xperia 1 II Android 10 ROM, but think this shouldn't be normal as Android 11 shouldn't be that laggy?
Because I read so many shortcomings after updated to andoird 11, I rather stay at andoird 10 rooted for the time being. And I have doubts flashing rooted 10 to 11 without losing data and apps.

That's my other concern, I want to roll bk to Android 10 without wiping
Anybody got any ideas?
If you can't rollback due to rollback protection you could try my new script to make your Android 10+ system read-write-able and then carefully remove all the unnecessary bloatware to make your device run smoother.
I'm curious if the script also works on next generation Sony devices. Does your new Sony device have a super partition? Does it have fastboot? Then you're in luck.
With my new script you get full read write access to all partitions on your device. Then you can easily delete these annoying bloatware apps from your internal hard drive. Problem solved.
Always make a backup before you permanently delete a system app! You never know which one is going to cause a bootloop!
I have similar experience. But funny stuff is that it happens every 2nd restart. 1restart - phone is laggy, another restart - phone is ok, and its happening almost always.
