here are almost every answer you want to know

Simply, ROM is a package OS in your phone,
There're 2 kind of ROMs: Official ROM - Original One and Cooked, the Original One is available in SEUS (Sony Ericsson Upgrade Service) and Cooked ROM is what you can download @ ROM Development. Cooked ROM is packaged or cooked by a chef - member of XDA-Devs (not Sony Ericsson).
To change your ROM (say: flashing), you need HardSPL. If not, you phone is locked- bricked, can't be used anymore, so be careful.
If you are beginner and want to know how to HardSPL and Flashing- like reading "At a GLance", please read this thread at the third post.
The First and Second Posts are examples of Cooked ROM.

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!
Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.
ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?
anyone ???

All the ROMs are good so just pick one you like.
As for everything else, I came across this gem of a thread about a year ago. It still seems to work and it has EVERYTHING you need.
Awesome huh

Check the wiki...all your questions are already answered there
Edit : - got beaten to the punch
Please read the WIKI and all the stickies, they will guide you through the steps for installing hard SPL, unlocking and upgrading your device.
As for choosing which ROM to upgrade to, that will be personal choice for you. Again, read the threads on your selected ROMs and make your final choice from that. Or better yet, flash one and use it for a few days, then flash the other and see which one works best for you.
OMG Jimmy is around and I feel like this thread will be closed.

For X1...

I just want a ROM that is:
1. Unintsallable
2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
6. Landscape mode preferred.
As you may have guessed, im a noob. But I just wanted to know as there is like a sea of ROMs and it becomes very difficult for a person not very knowledgable like me to pick one. I just want 2 things most importantly, that it shud be panel-installable and shud support landscape mode, along wiht being stable.
Thanx a ton guys!!
I don't understand your 1st and 3rd point. All roms can be replaced.
I personally dislike having Touchflo as is a bit unstable for me. If you want 6.5 I've used this for weeks, the barebones version, link and its been pretty stable on me.
Read other threads asking about rom choices too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590874
sweet..by
1. i meant it can be uninstalled if it gives some problem...(i raed sumwhere its a pain to remove it from ur system)
and
3. by that i meant, that it is only installed in a panel, not in the whole sys..as in i dont want the OS to change, i want X1 OS but only one panel can be HTC's touch flo

Use a stock ROM or cook your own.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
Get an HTC phone then.
6. Landscape mode preferred.

Read what I typed above in red.
tahnx Im Packing...
though i get your humour(and frustration with the number of noob questions being asked everyday)
but plz understand, I am an original noob. I dont understand wht u mean by "cook your ROM"
also, the very fact i have posted this Question, is that there are so many ROMs.
Like see, there are many ways to run a Mac on ure PC (iAtkos, Kalyway etc) but I used Kalyway..so here i cant find my Kalyway...
is ITJE's ROM good??heard about it...
plz suggest specific ROM so that i dont have to do a lot of RND with my (brand new) phone...thanx a lot once again.
Here is my suggestion for you. Just try a rom for one week and see which one fit you the best. It's very easy ans SAFE to install new rom and every rom has it plus and minus. I personally install different rom every other date because i want to have the newest stuff for my phone.
I think you misunderstand what ROMs are. I think you should read the Wiki first. Then read the stickies. Then if you have questions try searching first, and then you should fire away with questions.
The questions you are posing now are not ROM related they are software related. If you really want to flash a ROM then you should first read what a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is and why you would want to flash one and what HARD-SPL is and how to prevent bricking. If you are not ready for a custom ROM then perhaps you should just stick to some of the many cabs that are available here.
Hopefully this will give you a starting place. Just opening a thread to ask nonsensical things is not going to be productive for you, and will only confuse or irritate more experienced members. If you have a basic understanding everything should fall into place after that. Good luck.
Thanx Hannigan174..i appreciate ure help and apologize for posting this Question. u are right, i actually dont understand what ROMs are in trems of X1....
But i wil take ur suggestion...i wil first try out diff ROMs and then post a query...
I understand what you want: a theme or a application not flash your phone with another ROM, is it?
Try check this out... and this ... also try this
Also you may check this one and this
Good luck

what you see is the Manila user-interface, can be any ROM currently had it cooked unless stated differently. And it can be of 2.1 or 2.5 (Leo), and installable under pure or clean rom.
Just read the stickies first under the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development thread. First step, you're going to need to flash HardSPL, then flash any ROM you like with the Manila interface.
This/URL] is one of the example, always read last pages to see the current issues on the latest build, then pick your choice
thanx a lot deep throat...i wil try out different ROMs and see which is the best. Also, i just got my X1 and it has 9 movies..but i can unlock only 1....can i be a little greedy and unlock atleast 2[my GF wants to see Zohan and I want to see Da Vinci...u know how GFs are...]

I dont really get it... what did you mean by unlocking ? and what 9 movies?
my micro SD card has 9 movies...MIB, da cinchi code..etc... can unlock it..i have a Sony Pictures app also..it lets me see the trailer of each film and then i can unlock the whole film..and watch it
the more i read, the more im gettin confused...there is this software on one hand cutsomRUU...
then there is a cab availbale, then there is also the hardUSPL or something...
this is just getting more complicated, im eading the sticky threads but to no avail....can any1 plz help me how to get whats in the video..step by step with links...plz, its a humble request...
everything is explained in this sticky thread. just follow the steps. do a backup of your important data before u start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
but i really think u have no clue what u are facing by flashing ure device. every data on youre phone (not those on youre storage card) will be lost and all the programms u installed will be gone so u have to reinstall them after flash. by flashing ure device u will completely remove everything thats on ure phone and relace it with the new rom. did u ever updated youre device via seus?
the sony pictures app will be gone also and then u probably will not be able to watch your movies u have on youre card. unless u have this as a cab somewhere.
I've always recommended SPB Warehouse Backup. I made a thread, though nobody commented on it...but IMHO, and I gtrab and Siruis [X] are now using them, it's the best backup/restore program out there. It allows you to restore all your PIM and programs after flashing your phone.
The trial allows you to use it for 5 times before having to purchase a license. It's well worth it as custom ROMs are coming out every couple days or so, it saves time, effort, and the frustration of having to constantly restore your phone manually.

Recommended ROM

anybody can recommend me a ROM that you feel is the best for you ?
sorry new to blackstone.
btw is there any HD2 clone ROM for blackstone ?
if dont , anyone can recommend the best touchflo 3D 2.5 ?
thanks .
You can make you own decision, the benchmarks are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516190&page=72
I haven't found a ROM that comes anywhere close to this one as yet

It often is the latest stable software in the ROMs. And another thing.. It's better if you try some roms out. Its not so popular around here to ask about a god rom. It's a matter of taste and so on. Not so nice to other chefs if i, or any one else recommend a specific rom.
Check the thread about how to flash HSPL and just go nuts flashing and testing. Good luck!
Admin, please close.
Before anyone creates a new thread, the basic requirements for common decency would be to read the wiki, forum rules and use the 'search' function.
Now I understand that you are new, but your question(s) have been asked many times before.
FYI, a dummies guide thread exists for flashing. Also to ask an opinionated query is frowned upon in XDA as it creates endless long threads due to everyone having a different opinion. Best advice would be to read first few posts in each rom thread as this generally lists whats in each rom as well as providing a few screenshots of said rom. Then try a few roms to make your own conclusion on whats best for you

When is the X2 ROM expected??

Cant anyone get hold of the official ROM rite now..i want the OS badly..also, will the ROM have the 'time your panel' function once imported to X1...
PLz pzl: Im not looking for a cooked ROM, also, I asked in my last post but no1 answered, will the final OS of X2 have a start menu at the bottom???
I dont want it that way, i like the current one, black and white and top left...if it is going to be at the bottom, i dont mind a VERY VERY STABLE ROM (almost close to the original one) rite now...
where can i get such an X2 ROM rite now then...(only of the X2 ROM is going to have a start menu at the bottom)
Thanx a ton guys!
version 6.5.3 (aka build 28000) will have this bottom start menu. I wouldnt be surprise if there is no difference between these cooked roms and official x2 6.5, ofcourse both being 6.5
no..then can i have a build before 28000...but i want a real, clean and Un cooked ROM..where is my search bar???
im not sure why you do not want a cooked rom, there is no "stock" 6.5 at the moment. you can always try "pure" 6.5 cooked rom. its as close as the real 6.5

every rom is cooked. who cares if its done by sony ericsson or someone from here. do u think xda chefs are stupid? they know what they do and have probably more experience than anybody else in cooking. have u tried the original rom R1AA or R2AA? they had some bugs and were slow.
There will be no official X2 ROM for the X1....only ported over and cooked rom's by the chef's here....

WC

The only option is to wait for a shipped ROM of X2 and then we can hope Jerpelea can cook a stable build out of it. With my experience of X1, I am not sure if Sony would let that out before february. Correct me if I am wrong guys....
I really don't mind cooking, becasue I trust chefs in XDA
I really want a X2 ROM cooked for X1, just cut out some features not supported on X1, and it will be nice if it is stable and fast.
Could you tell me is there a ROM like this?

If you haven't noticed the few fortunate chef's that do have the X2 have been working non-stop since around Thanksgiving and earlier working on trying to port the X2 over. If you're so damn impatient buy the X2 and port it over yourself and you can be among the few who're working hard trying to make it work for the X1. And then you'll also have an X2 to play with!
Ok, first things first, i really dont underestimate or think the XDA chefs are stupid. That is for you, pansen222, secondly, its pure preference. if i want a clean, as-is ROM, its my choice. I wud not question anyone why they prefer cooked ROM. Its just that I have seen many threads of coooked ROMs having issues with the phone. im not the kinnda who will be flashing every day, i use my phone like a computer. we dont change our computer OS everyday do we????
just like that, I want to flash my phone purely for the sake of upgradig an OS....from 6.1 to 6.5...as simple as that.
For this, i want a stable, clean, as-is ROM...
Hope i have cleared everything.

Don't you think if there was a true ported X2 OS for our X1s it would be out and you would know about it just by looking at the threads? (Most likely would be sticked). Jerpleaa's ported X2 isn't 100% X2, but he's making a great effort trying to work with what he has.
I know I was rude with my first post, but you just sounded like an impatient little $**! the day before X-Mas.
I completely understand man...the kinnda noobs that are around(i know im one of them hehehe) But again, i prefer real,un-cooked ROMs as they are straight from the Sony factory (and i have some one to blame if something goes wrong heheheh...)
Wil keep an eye open for the X2 ROMs...BTW, where can i make the registry setting changes for the tilewave panel on my X1..Thanx a ton!
