[Poll] CM7 vs CM6 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which one do you prefer?
A fast, smooth and complete CM6 with Video Recording AV not syncing/Lags
or
a super CM7 with Accelerometer Lags?

CM7 is still in development. This is the main reason why I prefer Gingerbread I'm counting days to the Ice Cream Sandwitch. This might be something special

Definitely CM7 because of the theme chooser and the cool "edge-glow"-overscroll-effect
By the way:
I´m using GingerDx 011 right now, and it´s smoother than my old miniCM6 was before.

Well I use CM6: FroyoBread, it also has the theme chooser and the edgeglow. Just like GB. Before, I am using GDX because it has complete camera. But the Accelerometer is lagging.. so I went back to FroyoBread now. FroyoBread has similar features with GDX. So for now, I choose CM6, practically bugless & complete, and CM7 is still in development..

CM6 FroyoBread or Krauser SROM or MiniCM6
These are my favorite ones. I also like KuyaDROID but it has a lot of bugs already, because CM7 is under development. CM6 is now practicaly bugless (And thanks again to jkrauser2, you solved one of the biggest bugs on CM6, one of the reasons that disapointed me on CM6 and make me went to CM7 a lot of times because i record a lot of videos with my phone xD [No money to buy a VideoCamera, i used the rest of my money to buy my 800€ Home/Gaming computer xD] )

I chose CM6. I think I might have to go back to Froyobread until later relases of GingerDX. With CM6 I just felt everything was much more polished, and also the accelerometer lag and screen issues are annoying.

Which ROM would you currently use

Hello,
so just to see in 2011 what people are using!
I am using HoboMod and I like it very much.
-You seem to forgot to include IceAndFire ROM
New FroyoMod seems to be the best choice for now.
CM7

OK, in 10 days someone else can do a new poll! As ROM's change so fast, that every month there a new best one!
I believe Shadowmod BR Gingerbread is the fastest amongst all. A lot faster than CM7

i didnt try that yet. Do you have any random reboots?
I'm relatively new to the Milestone, and CM7 is the first custom ROM I've tried. For something labeled "alpha/preview" it's remarkably stable, and I've had very few problems with it.
I'm using Froyo 2.4.0C, I like it very much but had some random reboots lately. So I'm planing on uprading to 2.5 or going to CM7.
CM7 and I like it
id say froyomod the fastest and stable...
CM7 nightlies #40
Cyanogenmod 7 but its for now too buggy. im waiting 1-2 months.
MIUI of course, I just cant live without all of it additions like the mp3 player and so on.
I'm testing now Cronos Ginger 1.0.0 (CM7) , it's pretty fast.
I'm using FroyoMod. It's the only one I actually tried and I fell in love with it!
(actually that's not true... I tried MIUI too, but I just didn't like it)
Shadow MOD BR - 2.3.2 beta 7
OC: 125x900 - undervolt
Governor: Smartass

No reboots experienced. I overclocked to 800/500/250/125 with vsels 52/49/40/32.
Sometimes(very rarely) the phone freezes for few seconds...but it comes around very quick right away...
Anyways Shadowmod Br Gingerbread b3 is extremely fast...lot faster than the others...and I always have 70-80mb RAM free...

[Q] CM7 RC2 or CM6.1.2

hey frnds .. i jus need a vote on which is better for r milestones .. in terms of performance stability and all tht jazz
CM7 RC2 or CM6.1.2 ?
CM7 RC2 Is amazing.
I think that CM6 is more stable than CM7 and have a more free ram memory. But CM7 is almost 2.3.3 ... and it's works pretty well.

I like the way that that gb prompt/lists apps for redownload now.
Easier to setup on a different phone, if you use more than one.
i also find the whole thikng more stable since 2 releases ago.
I never had major issues with cm6, but cm7 just flies.
Forget the crap about lower ram, etc. My phone feels snappier. But i dont play games...

I am on CM6 currently.... in it had been quite stable..been using the rom for almost a month now and could not find a better rom that cm6 in terms of stability(ignoring the long pause that require you to press sleep button and then unlock back to continue issue).
I had not tried cm7(although tried it once). just wondering can cm7 match the stability that cm6 provide?
the Cm7 and Cm6 have still the same bugs as the official 2.2.1.
-some apps are not working
and also they both are even more unstable.
If you want a stable Phone the only way right now is 2.1 official.
I have tested cm7 and cm6 and returned back to 2.1 since, the phone chrashes to often.
erm....

Maybe you're doing something wrong. Widgetlocker crashes too often on your super stable, 2.1 official, certified, and blessed by motorola, phone, after all.

Just bought a droid.

I just bought a droid to mess with when I'm board of my thunderbolt. I'm really excited about the phone because for about 8 months I've really been missing my G2. I know I that I probably wont permanently leave my tbolt for the droid but at least ill have a keyboard again whenever I want it. What smooth roms are there for the droid? I really want to run CM7 or maybe miui. CM7 working nicely on the droid?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
If a Droid as twice the RAM a Milestone have so you will have much fun with any GB-ROM.
Because you have the same smal RAM like a Milestone, then you will have a App-Kicking Mono-Task ROM with any GB.
The fastest and smoothest ROM is Eclair (Stock) following by a Froyo based MOD.

For droid if u want gb use liquid gb or project elite they b oth have their cons and pros and a overclock kernel would be good like chevys ULV kernels to save battery if they work and make sure u use supercharged v6 script it helps it run realy smooth and use rzrecovery for recovery and make sure you back up before you so anything you have any other question just ask
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
Had my droid for almost two years. Been through MANY roms. Standard CM7 is a little too buggy for my liking. And liquid ginger has a bunch of call bugs.
I am LOVING Chevyno1's simply stunning 2.3.4 rom right now. No FC'S or bugs so far. Very stable.
Also running his LV 1000 kernel. But running it at only 800. I've noticed that anything over 800 mhz and the Droid becomes a handwarmer. Plus I've noticed no additional output in performance either.
Lastly yes, absolutely run V6 supercharger. It will make a very snappy phone for ya.
Pm me if you have any questions!
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Awesome phone. I've used many ROMs over the past two years but Bugless and MIUI are my favorites.
Peter Alfonso has a pretty good AOSP Gingerbread ROM that I'm currently running in tandem with Chevy's low-voltage 1GHz kernel. It's basically a stock ROM with a few minor modifications. GPA16 is good, and GPA17 is currently in open beta but I use it as my daily driver without issue.
I tried CyanogenMod7 on my (now on warranty) Milestone, and I have to say.. CM7 is great, but, I really want a usable phone, the last days with my phone and CM7 I couldn't use the browser, after I tried to click on some link of google search, the browser close.. And if this happen on the browser, just imagine how was with other apps.
But, according to what I'm reading, CM7 RC14 is great.. Maybe when I have my phone back I'll try it, but for now I'll try FroyoMod.
BTW, Android 2.3/CM7 just bring to us 2 big things: SIP calls and be able to use Google Talk with voice and video, so, maybe is not a big enhancement.
Have tried both CM7 and MIUI, but sticking with CM7 for now.
And, here I'm with my new Milestone phone (changed by warranty)...
I decided to go with CyanogenMod 6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155454). This is a really great ROM, and for my, 14 hours of charge using the phone is pretty good

2.2 vs 2.3

Hello guys,
I've got a question that I couldn't find an answer on the internet. It is abou two versions of Android. My question is:
- Wich is the Best and Bugless version for Xperia X8? 2.2 or 2.3?
I don't really mind the features, all I care about is stability, bugless, a battery life and finally compatibility of android programms. I don't want to "force" my phone, I want it light and simple.
Can you give me advice? I want to know if 2.3 is heavier than 2.2.
Thanks!
2.2 coz its finished... try froyobread pro its supposed to be very good since its based on DX froyobread
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
froyo
froyo is best, i myself use gingerbread but froyo is most stable. check out the devs section
2.3 is cooler, but you could experience lag/battery drain/sensor errors.
But in my opinion, it´s ready for daily use.
But if you don´t mind the features, the best for you would be Froyo, as it´s just more stable.
stock version if you dont want any bugs.
2.3 is "za best" ... beacause is very very smooth
Nagh! Most of the 2.3 ROM are full of Bugs(Tested on SE w8), Even GingerDX..........
But most of the froyo roms are bug free........ The best is Froyo pro(currently running on my w8)... For x8 and w8 froyo roms are the best.....
At the moment, I use GingerCruzt 8.1 and I find it great, only with few force close, in "infinite view" at contact manager.
I love it. But Battery Drain really annoys me.
In 1d 7h it drained all of my battery.
- I didn't played.
- I didn't used the internet
- I call my friend and we talked 5 minutes.
- I heard music for 2 hours.
It really suck.

hi..im using gingerxperia v13. in setting -> performance, which governor should i use..? i use it moderately,to play games and surfing.i would really love if the battery last very long.
so...any help..?
p.s
is having the governor a must..? in froyobread i dont see any governor..
If I were you, I would install Froyo Pro... the most complete ROM with no WiFi issues, or anything...
Thanks! I'll try Froyo Pro.
One more question... How can I install Launcher not as application but as "main phone Launcher", I mean, so I couldn't uninstall it from App management?
I don't really like Launcher Pro. I want to Instal Arc Launcher or Go Launcher, but when I wipe my phone, I want to keep it there.
You could unzip the rom delete the launcher ,put your launcher,zip it and you are done.You can use root explorer for that
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using XDA Premium App
I will put into a ZIP .apk, right? I just download from the web and put it there, right?
Can you tell me in which folder shall I put it?
And delete launcher pro
I've tried 2.2 and 2.3 for a long time now...
IMO the latest 2.3.7 ROMS like GingerDX are the best out there: they have the latest features, security fixes, and most importantly, they are still being improved.
I see no bugs in the latest v19 release (except for that flotation point which is actually not a bug but a tweak that can be solved by replacing 1 file. )
2.2 roms have unsolved camera problems (ie: try analyzing images in google goggles and you will know what I mean), huge vulnerability issues, and other bugs which I don't recall now ('cause I moved on several months ago) XD
There is no such thing as huge batt differences between both ROMS... If you want more batt you will need to choose your apps wisely and follow some tips (like the ones at my signature).

What's Your Favorite ROM, and Why?

Just wondering... what's your current favorite ROM for your Nexy, and why?
I used CM7 for most of my time owning my N1. Have it almost 2.5 years now. Very enjoyable experience.
Currently using MIUI GB 2.3.30, with Go Launcher and Neok kernel. I find it very stable and offers everything I need. I also enjoy the smoother experience GB offers for our device over ICS.
I also frequently try BCM ICS CM9, but always find myself reverting to MIUI as I miss working video camera and flash. Although gap is closing fast; flash now working, and video has just arrived.
Keeping a close eye on Sense 4 ROM too
What gets your vote?
PS hats off to all the rom cookers/developers for making the N1 so much fun to own

Cyanogenmod 7.10, most stable, best battery, most performance. I do like Sense , but it has battery drain, so no. ICS isnt complete yet, so I'm waiting for fix.
all are good and stable. nw using QND MIUI. pretty cool.no issues

Which component of ICS that you are holding out for? I have been using ICS on a daily basis.
CM7 patched with PDroid and some solution to place apps in an dedicated partition on the SD card.
I'm currently working with both CyanogenMod7.2.0RC2 and BCMRC3.4Update1 .. I love having ICS working, but to be honest CM7 is better (i.e. more consistent and more stable) if this is your only phone.
I keep on messin' around and just assuming that one day I'll brick the device. That's OK though, a perfect opportunity to ditch AT&T once my GSM device is dead.
Anyway... here is question for you folks going back and forth between GB and ICS roms. Have you found a common internal partition size setup so you can simply nandroid restore back and forth? Or are you using BlackRose to resize each time?
i dont have a favor rom coz every 1 have some thing and not contained with other
now i'm using cm 7.2 its cool and the battery life is good
but the most thing i hate is call program (i dont know the true name) mean when someone call me his pic appear small and all that stile is ugly and cannot sync his facebook account with his name and pic
the sense roms give me a great call program and appear FB account ,....
but drain battery more and i think the camera quality is not good with all sense rom
so
1st - cm7.2
2nd - hyper supernova
ics waiting 4 stable
miui i dont like it
I usually stick with ICS layout when reverting back to CM7 or MIUI.
Now I'm back on BCM ICS
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
My favorites:
GB: cm7.2 RC - fast and stable
ICS: BCM passion - fast and many options
For those of you on BCM ICS, does it have trackball LED notification where you can set custom colors for different apps?
If not, would LightFlow work with BCM ICS? Thanks.
Haven't tried ICS yet, but as far as GB goes my fav is CM7.1

recommend??? well. i have tried some roms and all were good.
cyanogenmod,oxygen1mod...
but currently i am sticking wid dis rom for 2 months nw. super stable, colorful, customisations. zero issues

I love all the ics (BCM,Texasice, and Aokp) roms each have their own customization,very fast, and quite stable most of the time. I also like some of the gingerbread roms like cm7 and miui, they are very fast and have amazing battery life. Im not a big sense guy , but with sense 4.0 in dev i will prob give it a go . In the end the rom choice is up to the user.
m so happy
Ok I been using this phone for two years or so
I loved it and had my blue days
I have struggled with a2sd and etc
However I was always unhappy with not having the sense look
And now I am using this hyper sense nova Rom and I am in love with it
I get close to ten hours battery with light to moderate usage
I have a battery caluberation problem but once I solve it ill probably not switch
I am more interested in features than looking so I prefer CM 7.2
I'm running BCM myself (4.0U1 at the moment) but I keep a backup of CM7.2.0 in case anything goes bad.
I'd like to test MIUI someday but AFAIK greek language which I need is not supported, at least for ICS-based roms.
