Hi everyone!
I would like to know which one of the ROMS for X8 is the best in performance for dailly tasks. Because i have tested 3 ROMs and none of have good battery perfomance on a daily basis.
What ROM should I try? Thanks for all your answers. Take care!

I find gdx v20 best for day 2 day use
Sent from my MOLEY_X8 using xda premium
for me..
and hightly recomment is GingerDX v20
and when you know after reading thread by thread you can match with kernel
linuxDX, or Alfs kernel, or nAa kernel...
it can simply make your device faster and smootherst
but beware if you new on kernel
(make sure your know what are U doing when playing with kernel and unlock bootloader)
because it can brick you phone!
and then I sure after this you will screaming here and asking how to save your bricked phone!!
here the answer use SEUS
gingerdxv20 for sure

U have to follow installation properly
make sure install GDX with CWM instead Xrecovery
and fullwipe..
or maybe your device 'special' same like my friend phone
(when I flashing GDX 20 and GDX v19 on his phone)
I found this problem = sdcard no show
but when in recovery = all files and folder prety there
and I have no idea why....
Gx with custom kernal no lag 8 day use
Sent from my E15a using XDA App
CWM? whats that?? i only had xrevocery no CWM ..is it like xrecovery where u click back when you see SE ?
No you need tap on the screen,also you need to have installed.

froyopro incase of daily tasks and battery performance
for me gingerdx v20 is the best rom for x8 super fast and no lag
tohno said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when u reboot..
press volume down key or/and tap screen (when u see SE white logo)
u'll see CWM recovery and install GDX by this way
or if u can get into CWM th8 mean U don't have CWM
so install dual recovery.zip first (u can use search button)
or install other rom which one have dual recovery pre install
sorry long explaination
and hit thanks button twice!
thanks! (thanked already )
so in summary ...
open xrecovery and find CWM
if CWM is missing then go donwload it...
is cwm same with xrecovery?or is it and extension?
then use cwm and install the mod instead of xrecovery (do i need to system wipe?)
reboot phone then done?
hmmm just wondering will my link2sd apps will stay?
does it have anything to do with busybox? according to dotsen i must not update busybox

Which rom you are using to unlock bootloader
It only works with stock rom
that's false information you have given. It will also work with custom ROM 2.2 2.3 as well -at least as far as unlocking by using flashtool 0.5.3 is concerned.
They want you to stick with stock ROM 2.1 because there's less risk of screwing things up. There are various persons who have unlocked their bootloader using custom ROM such as gingerdx and gingerexperia.
There are never any official words that come out and say "don't use custom ROM" but if you look at the code where they patch things you only see that they need a stock kernel and rooted system to work with, nothing more than that!

lucky you! for now will stick on stock kernel..till i got enough courage to unlock again for the third time..
Sometimes when the screen is off and i would like to turn on, and i press the middle button, but the screen doesn't appears. I need to pick out the battery, and put it back.
Sometimes when i rebooting, my phone is freeze, the screen is black, and don't happen anything. Again i need to pick out the battery and put it back.
Why?
I used MiniCM 2.1.6, GingerXperiaRay v003 and i had this problem with these roms. I think this is kernel problem.
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my bad english.
The best rom for me is gingerdx v22+alfs kernel v6.Also i haved this rom and i have the same problem and i flashed gingerdx v22 and didn't have of none problems.Sorry for my bad englisch.I am Poland.
trie to restore your x8 back to stock with seus than flash again nAa and your favorite rom.

That's weird... have you tried pressing the lock/ power on/off button? Never heard about this problam before. IMO I would change kernel and rom to gingerdx v022 and alfs kernel v06 uncapped

I believe MiniCM7 2.1.9 is out, alongside nAa 11 kernel. The ROM has been thoroughly used by the community and most issues thrashed out. That's asides being a vast improvement over MiniCM7 2.1.6
I suggest you upgrade.

Yes, I have this bugs too. Additionaly, CWM is in 4 version - in GDXv28b was CWM 5 and it was better.
I have FC in all apps, so I can't use this ROM.
My X8 is in Stock Kernel - what about others?
Edit: In 2nd version GDXv29 for Stock Rom works so much better, but Settings app is old.

no wifi on alfs8a
hi all.. i have alfs v8a, and ginger dx v28b, working great with an average antutu score of about 1940 when overclocked to 748.
i downloaded and installed ginger dx v29 and it is great, nice look, nice feel and all.
i got good signal, feels smooth, bluetooth is good and overall its great.
however, i have the same issues with most who are using this rom.
i did not notice the auto brightness if it is working, have not confirmed it yet for myself coz i only got the rom about an hour.
and the biggest issue is that wifi is not working. i dont know what i did wrong but i think i did evrythng ryt, i already flashed the libsensorspatch and still, wifi says error when turning it on.
i will attach a screenshot from my about phone so you guys can check if i have the right kernel for this.
as i saw this post from the dev section:
Originally Posted by burnoutslo View Post

This ones are ok:
X8_v08a-cm7_Alfs&djnilse.zip
X8_v9-cm7_Alfs&djnilse.zip
X8_09a-cm7_Alfs&Djnilse.rar
This ones are NOT ok:
X8_08-GDX_Alfs&Djnils.rar
X8_09a-GDX_Alfs&Djnilse.rar
i just wanna make sure if im using the right kernel or not because i really dont want to have the kernel changed if i have other options

I have installed GDX v29 on stock kernel and i have no bugs except that when i have activated oc module it works aparently but decreases performance a little (i.e. without oc module v004 at 600 mhz antutu benchmark scores are 1656, but with oc module v004 at 748 1550-1640), this is a bug?

I have the same problem, and i think that the error is on /system/etc/init.d/10app2sd the script doesn't work on stock kernel.
Solution: I changed it to the 10app2sd GDX v28b version and now a2sd works correctly.

phone stuck at boot screen,dead sd card after flashing gingerdx v029
Hello there, i have a problem with gingerDx v29, im using v28 atm with alfs v09a, so far so good, but when i instal v29 i get a com.android.phone error as soon as i put the ping and then the error keeps looping. i tryed re-instal, wipe data, (wipe everything that i could with CMW actualy) but it still doesnt work, i read the forum in order to find an answer but didnt find it with this SO, (also tryed a solution that seams to work in others so like fix permisions). How do i solve this?
I really hate to bother but its been 5 days and i can make it work.
Thanks in advance!

alfs v9a
im having a little screen moving problem, i think its the kernel alfs v9a, i'll try v8 and let you know
Edit; Alfs v8a solves the problem
Hey guys i'm having the same problem with the screen moving bug, it moves to the right a little bit. I tried alfs v8 and it solved the problem but I still don't think it's the best answer since the combo gdx v29 and alfs v8 has A LOT of battery drain on 3g and sync on (in 8 hours it drains 90 percent of the battery just in standby).
Is there any other thing I can do to fix this screen problem? If not i'll just go back to stock kernel

Hey thanks for answering, I'm on demand right now, and the cpu is set to 122 mhz min and 691 mhz max (basically I didn't change anything). Any other ideas?
Pretty weird bug I hope there's a good fix for this, cos alfs v9+ is the kernel with the best performance I've tested so far.
