Hi,
I want to install custom ROM to X1. It should be good, stable version because it's not mine and I can't play with it every day to fix or change something.
So, I would be thankful if somebody wants to share experiences and suggest me the best ROM for X1.
I would also like if you would tell me about your experience with Android on this device, which version is the best. what's working and what's not.
I already have some opinion based on what I read here, but would like to hear first hand experiences
thank you!!
I dont know for winmo,but in android jerrytan's roms are good,and also neofroyo.

Use the non NAND versions. That means that WM will not be deleted and you can run android ROM from your SD card. And yes, Jerrytans ROM are one of the best, I am using them myself.
If you still want to delete WM completely then use any NAND ROM from the android thread.
Here are jerrytan´s ROM`s: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370882
Good luck!!!
JerryTan just released Sensedroid X, an android version.
You just keep Windows Mobile, and startup android by starting a program on your phone called Haret.exe
I tested Sensedroid x, and it is amazing!

But I think that nand Android makes Xperia X1 similar to a NATIVE android phone and this is awesome!
For now xperia is a wm powered phone that is capable of running android.once nand is finished,it will be similar to a native android phone.xdandroid is very slow,because it has too high resolution that needs to be lowered to get better performance and obviously lack of graphics.when this is done,wich wont be anytime soon,i guarantee you will get a good performance,comparable to hero/tatoo.

Hi,
I would like to know if there is way to install just android without install Windows Mobile rom ?
I mean that the Android boot without using WM ...
At the moment no, I think we lack a bootloader to start booting the rom, also Android is not yet stable enough to use as a stand-alone OS for our phones, I'm certain it will all come together in time, much as the Familiar Linux Project did on the Ipaq series of PDA's.
Until then we have the best compromise, useable android, with the comfort of having WM still available for when we really need it.
Moved as not ROM Development....
take a look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614275
to understand the state-of-art of flashing Kaiser to nand ....
I'm posting a very very VERY light ROM that can be used to boot the various Android releases floating around this forum. GenY's DualBoot application is cooked in for easy of launching Haret.exe.
Do not download this ROM to use as a regular Windows phone. It has NOTHING in it but drivers and 21889. It's almost useless, for anything but booting android. Thanks and enjoy
The ROM can be found here http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Just pick the Android ROM which should be no bigger than 70 Megs
I will keep this updated as the COM2 builds progress... No need to build this type of ROM with the newer COM branches
You COULD use this ROM to try out apps, maybe even run SPB Mobile Shell or something like that, but keep in mind it's bare as can be, as in, nothing installed on it and nothing on the start menu
Just to clarify.. this is NOT an Android ROM. It's a clean WM ROM used to boot Android from the Storage Card. You will need to find an Android package to install to your Storage Card first

One more.. just in case
So Android is ported enough to be usable?
So Android is ported enough to be usable? Oh and 'first'! Because it's my first time to be the first poster- not because I'm the first poster.
Love your work by the way. I'm sure you hear it all the time, but one more can't hurt right?
Great!
I am really glad to see you do this. This was badly needed as the dev. in rhodium for Android is way behind. Thanks! Also, I just DL'd your lates & I will be sending you some brn files for action screen to match. I hope you like 'em.

I agree... it seems nobody was doing a bare bones, drivers & SYS only, ROM for the android guys to get their groove on, so hopefully this helps

Did you not read the first post ?
It's possible to apply this ROM into HD2 ?
HD2 Android
I also would like to know if it is possible to make the HD2 run android system. Boy that will be great, I was eager to try an android phone, but, i liked the HD2 specs and if i can make it run both it will be great news.
i tried it and it doesn't work CustomRuu say that the ROM is not for my mobile

Pretty obvious since you found this in the TOUCH PRO 2 forum !
Works great with your Android Super Lite ROM. I ended up installing Gen.Y Dual Boot and full EnergyRom because Android port is still missing many features.
Thanks for the post to the MJG Android build. Works great except for the things you mentioned in the first entry.
this is sweet i have been running the android since mornin nd everything is solid stable and smooth but wifi n camera n other stuff doesnt work and my ringone works great job NRG
reserved for later fixes on android. tnx for building a light rom to run android hopefully more motivation is pushed on the development of android running on rhodium
Can any of you guys post some screen shots of the rom... Thanks
can u shine some light NRG
my questions is how does having a light bare windows mobile rom benefit running android? im not sure why i would want a striped rom over a regular rom to boot android off of...? does it allow more ram for when android boots up?
[Poll]Which ROM is the best that you've ever used in HTC Buzz: Wildfire?
My first customize rom was puzzlerom but this rom is very bugged, the kernel isnt working good and had a loot of freezes. Now I use cyanogen mod 6.1 and I' m very happy. This is great rom with updates. Cyanogen's rooms are the best because I have wildfire, my frend have G1 and we both using cyanogen rooms. I never using openfire and I cant say anything abaut this... This is my opinion

Cyanogen would be my fav if it had flash in it... for now.. wildpuzzle 8.0.10 since 11 gives me lots of network dc problems..

Id go for OpenFire for now. Until CM gets the sim PIN fixed. Then id permanently switch to that
I do not get it - what is the point of "Whats the best..." poll threads?
You should probably understand that every single person is different, likes and prefers something else.
Imho Wildpuzzle 2.1 1.0.1 and Openfire 2.3.

Cm6 no need for flash imo, watching the youtube videos is enough for me anyways
I am going to let out a secret here............
...........

there is..... NO SUCH THING as the best of anything. EVER. There is a Majority, and a minority, AND in between, BUT there is NEVER EVER a case for the best of anything. We ALL have different needs and tastes.
Want to Know MY favorite rom? Stock. Its runs near flawless, EVERYTHING works and there are no major bugs.
Want to Know ^^Kevins^^, CyanogenMOD.
Neither of us are right or wrong, it just so happens that our needs are fufilled by that particular rom.
Flash EACH ONE, play around with it for a few days and then try the next and you will find one that just 'feels right' for you.

rarrrr internetz!!! the poll is asking an opinion? which is the best rom you have used.....personally the best rom i ever used was the private beta preview of w[ildfire]ndows 98 with added blue screen goodness. available only to me in my head. second best is openfire, but at least it tries.
This poll is just for voting your favorite rom. I don't want any arguments happening in forums :X

all roms where full of bugs.anyway.the best rom is cyanogen.but as i said:every rom is full of bugs.
they shouldnt do it with the chinish version
The best rom i tryed when i used my wildfire was handsdown Openfire.
Fast as hell stable and smooth.
if you ever have force closes you only have to run "fix permissions" in rom manager + reboot.
Meh cyanogenmod, wins alot of votes only by the name.
VillainROM for Wildfire!
Openfire 2.3 combined with SetCpu, cant get any faster than that
Stock - v.stable and has sence and resolves clockwork charging issue (I'm not rooted) and I couldnt get wildpuzzle to boot

What charging issue?
Well, to be honest, i went back to stock rom, just using another kernel that's rooted, and gives me oc capabilities.
I did it because even tho the devs are doing a great job on these custom roms, they are still flawed, some minor bugs here and there, but it adds up, and i can't just fix the issues my self, maybe some can, but i can't.
I've tried WildPuzzleROM 2.2 Froyo v8.0.11 & CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC2
i liked wildpuzzle best.
My vote goes for stock Rom , then comes OPENFIRE fastest and stable too

Hi salmanrkr,
If it's speed,stability & battery backup is what you are looking for...then stick on to your stock ROM..believe me it's the best...
Also, you need not have to flash your ROM to run an Android in your X1....You can boot Android from within the Windows Mobile by having the Android OS files in your SD card...Basically there are 2 different types of Androids..one which require an ext2 partition(which is more faster) & one which doesn't need any partition(which is easier to run)
It seems that you are a fresher...so better try the second type..the one which doesn't need any partition...I recommend for you the F1Froyo 2.2.1 .Visit the following thread for the description and download link...(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844033)
Do keep in mind that Android for X1 is still under development..so don't hope for a bug free and stable android for X1..
And if you really want to Flash a new ROM for X1, you can try the 826x series ROM...or the Energy ROM..both are Windows 6.5 Build with slight difference in Interface..Both have Sense, a cool interface seen in HTC Devices...visit the following threads for the description & download link..
for 826x series ROM-(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734175)
for Energy ROM -(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562935)
Note : You can have your Custom ROM + Android in your X1....Also plz do keep a backup of your Stock ROM before flashing your device with a Custom ROM..
Hope this helps...
Thanx alot!
But which files to be downloaded? its lil mixed up!

I have tried both the builds...and from my experience i found the second one i.e. F1 Froyo .2.2.1 more faster & Stable.
So my recommendation for you is the F1 Froyo 2.2.1..
Here is the direct link to F1 Blog, where you can download the original file : http://f1series.blogspot.com/2011/01/f1-froyo-221.html

great answer , cleared all my doubt also. very neat
Hi there
I heard, that for some HTC devices theres a "direct flash" option for installing Android into the ROM? (means not using Haret.exe or loading from SD)
Is there such option for X1 too?
I tried to search, but have no idea what to search for :-/
Kind regards
yeah, it's possible. with HD2 you can flash not WM but Android. this method is "NAND flashing".
It can be possible for our device too, but 1st problem is there's not any fully or maybe 90% working Android build for X1.
there're not stable, fast, for long time use Android builds for X1.
and the 2nd problem is, to flash with NAND method it needs some ROM, flashing customizations, some bootloader cracks.
HD2 owner develepers made them for their device. But with X1 it's not possible...
Ahh, yes HD2
Sadly our company has X1 for their employees...
Currently I am using an X2 port which is better than original X1 ROM, but quite slooow.
Why not use wm6.5 build 29007 with sense 2019 its the most stable with good battery life, and dual boot with your X1 .. There is a software out there where you can set the boot to android only. I havent tried that yet but will do soon enough.
Still having fun trying to make android work on my X1 without devouring its battery
