Which would you recommend for me?

Hello, I have a new SE Xperia x8 and I obviously want to upgrade from Android 2.1. Which would you recommend to me as being the most compatible and stable with new apps.
I do know how to install them but I am wondering whether I should install MiniCM7 Android 2.3.5 or GingerDX 2.3.5. I have heard MiniCM7 is more stable and has more features than GingerDX but as I am a noob which would you recommend?
Thanks

Just wondering if someone can help me!

Hello I would recommend you gingerDX cause i am using it and it completly stable only problem i have is with wifi

Nah, GingerCruzt is faster!

GingerDX V013 ! Wat the creator, daioxanh has done with this rom is he has removed all the useless crap no one really needs, thus freeing a total of 99 ram, the maximun amount. Its really fast and smooth

Depends on what u do on your phone. Do you often play games, use wifi for browsing the net, editing the theme of your phone, etc.?

Gingercruzt for the win!

I would recommend gingerDX too. its a good mixed rom for all...
Facebook, games, sms, musik etc...
Im using v17 and im very happy with it :-D

Stock ROM 2.1-update-1 : Very stable but less features
Froyobread 2.2.9 : Most stable custom ROM
GingerDX 2.3.7 : Stable CM7 ROM
LinuxDX Kernels : Kernels For X8 look at features fore more information

Its all up to you coz everyone like others roms...so try couple of them and decide.which one is better for you....

Gingerxperia v8 is the greatest gaming rom if you likes to play games a lot
If you want most stable rom for daily us i would recommend gingerdx

As you've noticed a lot of the suggestions involves loading up a Gingerbread derivative that a lot of the others before me have touted as stable and would say wifi doesn't work or camera video no record etc, . I use GingerXperia V8 myself.
But since you've admittedly are a Noob to the X8 scene, I would suggest one of the favors of FROYO or Android 2.2. since everyone would agree that it has the most mature of the current X8 ROM's. And a good way to introduce you to the world of X8 modding.
Check out the links below for a guide to X8 ROMs and Rooting.

Gingerxperia v08 is the best!
Before this i tried many rom like Floyo, Froyobread, GingerDX.
But other rom cannot fight with Gingerxperia!
More smooth, more fast, less lag.
Floyo rom no more update.
Froyobread rom already final BUT always reboot auto.
GingerDX rom not smooth and still under develop.
So, gingerxperia WIN!

First try GingerDx(last version).If you dont have battery drain problem stick to it.It's the best.If you are unlucky like me and your battery drain fast try FroyoBread 023b.

gingercruzt or gingerxperia

Which of these is the fastest? i have tried gingerdx but i installed gingerxperia and it is faster, so, is gingercruzt faster then gingerxperia? thanks.

well the latest gingerdx 015 is very fast ,, so is v014,, but amongst those two roms gingercruzt is better for me,, however neither has as much features or a huge community of people using gdx,,,
ps: you need to tweak gdx a bit to make it fast,, Mini cm7 is also an amazing rom,,, you can try it,,

my problem is the ram, it used to get very low on gingerdx, now its much better in gingerxperia, but i dont know about gingercruzt.

well you can advanced task killer for freeing up ram... and gingercruzt is better than gingerxperia,,,

i think the first version of FD Experience is the best ROM that i've used so far... its very stable and fast... also a good battery life!

gingercruzt faster...free ram i get now 90MB

Gingercrutz is awesome maybe even better than gingerdx, but there some bugs that annoying me, like arc launcher sometimes is so slow and autobrightness is not working at all, there is some other bugs which i cant remember right now, but at the end i think that this is maybe the best custom rom for x8 at this time

GINGERXPERIA v21+Alf v06+Swap+Optmizer+Odex=speed and smooth
BTW THANK ME IF I HELPED YOU

I also use GinderDX with ALFS kernel, but I think I'm going to change it for something more stable.

I recently changed to froyopro v2.2 whit alfs v6 kernel,and i can't believe how fast it is,and stable of course!Reaaly recommend you to try!

[Q] Ginger DX or Ginger Xperia

As per the custom Roms for x8, GingerDX by Doixanh is good or GingerXperia by XperiaFan13??
Or any other best roms for 2.3.?
Sorry for my bad english

Well it's all up to you. I'm using GingerDX and I'm satisfied with it. Haven't used Gingerxperia though.

Yap, there are tons of "What ROM" threads around you can dig up and read through.
In general it's way better to test the ROMs you've taken interest in yourself. People have different expectations, so it's really a matter of "taste".
I always used doixanh's custom ROMs because he always created the most stable and feature complete ones - at least in my experience. That being said, keep in mind that no custom ROM is 100% perfect and that different ROMs can cause different problems with the one or another app.
If GingerDX and GingerXperia are the ROMs you fancy then simply grab a copy and use each one for a few days ... in the end you will see which one fits your usage.

Ginger dx
it is the GOD of all roms in this forum (for x8)

GDX and Alfs kernel

I leave GDX for GXP. In my opinion Ginger DX become to much heavy for X8 and stock kernel. Ginger XP is lighter, faster and with a great look. Try it!

yes..my brother use GXP with stock kernel..but i like GDX

I would prefer gingerDX.

How do you mean heavy for x8. I have GingerDx on stock kernel. It works smooth and very fast. The only bug is in the QuickPic app..you cant scroll the first time you use the app.
Also I got awesome performance. And im overclocking on 710mhz and its very stable!

After using GingerDX for some months I came back to Shpit's XGin ROM (wich is being continued after some time). It's the fastest one, and it's very stable for overclocks. Plus, I was having some serious problems with phone stucking, sending large SMS messages and wi-FI bugs in GingerDX.
BTW, GingerDX is still a great ROM.

Yeh You're right mate. i also used the GingerDX from Doxinah. it's pretty good rom. but now i changed to ginger xperia because of the OC performance. Up to 820mhz that's truly awesome ... but i like GingerDX and Ginger Xperia.

Ginger DX is the first ROM that i installed in my W8, and its awesome with lots of features. However you will have to manually tweak for pinch to zoom and Timescape. Now i am using GingerXperia, its really awesome and fast, Pinch to Zoom and Timescape work too good.. Timescape is like just in Xperia mini pro. It looks beautiful. You can over clock your CPU which is an added feature in this ROM. I have put some pics of GingerXperia, hope it helps.

Yeah!! I also tried both of the Roms..and also I have W8...But I installed Ginger DX and also works smoothly..

GingerDX faster than gingerxperia on Alfv6 kernel but GingerXperia have more ram and more tweak(bravia engine, xloud...)
You'd make the chose

But i am not sure if my kernel is Alfv6 or not??how could I check that and if it is not how can i change it to Alfv6 kernel??Please help
And Also where can I get flashtool for my w8 so that I can Flash the files.(I read many posts and it was said that you need to flash the downloaded files by using flashtool).

If you unlock your bootloader and change the kernel you should be aware of what kernel you are installing before you do it.
Otherwise "Settings" -> "About phone" gives you info about you current rom and kernel.
Alf kernel thread is here btw.

Here is the X8 thread for Flashtool with a link to Flashtool's homepage. Unsure if Flashtool works on W8 since I have a X8. But since it officially support X10, X10mini (pro) and X8, i seems unlikely that it shouldn't.

GingerDX

gdx more stable for me gdx v22+ alf v6

[Q] Faster ROM?

Hi, I currently have GingerDX v26 on my X8... stock kernel. But I think its getting a little slow... when I have to answer, all the animations and stuff make my phone slower. Is there any good ROM that can run smooth? or any modification to GingerDX :S... I just want my phone to be smooth so I can run apps without crashing cause of the memory usage (instagram for example).
I was thinking about PrimeHD but it requires a new kernel and I don't know if its safe or something.

PrimeHD is for stock kernel to,try the v9,
Just flash it over GingerDX without full wipe
Install and reboot

My personal opinion is PrimeHd.
go for either v7 or v8
For me v9 proved to be a battery drainer.

I didn't notice a massive drain yet
The v9 is more stable,more fast and the scrolling is superb.. especially in browser

I have gdx v27 with alf kernel, with stock I have a same problem as you, but when i put a alfs kernel i get faster, smoother and better rom with no bugs on answer and animations )

Hmmm.... I will try PrimeHD with stock kernel, and then I could install a new kernel.
But... can I go back from custom kernel to my stock kernel?
thanks

Well ,the new version of GDx (v027) is what impressed me.
Try that if you haven't been able to find a good ROM.

So, ive been using GingerDX since v023. Yesterday i flashed the new version (27) and boy, I am really impressed with this ROM. Last one i was the v025, and was a very good, fast and smooth ROM. But TeamGingerDX did and unbelievable job in v27. Even stable, faster and smoother.

For stock kernel you can use GingerDX v27 or PrimeHD v9 buth works great

I think the most efficient way to boost your phone's speed is using "Supercharger v6" and also configuring android's internal taskmanager to a more aggressive balance.
Hope these can help you.
Also performance settings can have a great effect on your phone if they are set right

Definitely PrimeHD... So far the most stable and fast one that I`ve tried....

hi im using gingerdx v.28 stock kernel
smooth and no bug
