SE Xperia X8 Gingerbread ROM

Alright , I'm tired of looking , but I can't find a thread , answering my question. Sorry if this is a repost.
Which is the most stable Gingerbread ROM for my SE Xperia X8 E15i ?
I want a very stable and fast version. (Most Important For Me)
I will use only the Stock Kernel.
It should be virtually bugless.
I would prefer a less battery-drain ROM.
Please provide an exact name for the ROM. Download Links will be appreciated.
Thanks

I still prefer GingerDX. It will work nicer if you can use Alfs kernel

for me gingerxperia is best of all on stock kernel.
gingerdx is very very laggy.

I'm using GingerXperiaRay + nAa kernel, but i don't think it works with stock kernel.
With the alfs kernel i was able to OC more than with the nAa kernel..
But tell me please, why won't you switch kernel?

Because , once I unlock the bootloader , there's no way to lock it back...

just leave the bootloader alone..In my case, I'd hardbricked my w8 3times..
success only once..then when I tried to do it again my phone died man..
can't get into flash mode anymore...
sent to vendor (lucky they didn't know what I'd done)
then tried to unlocking boot loader again, and died again
(only 30miniutes the phone on my hand after take from SE)
and brick again (after 1hour took from SE)
lucky they can't detected what I've done..
on my 2nd bricked my w8 running e15i rom
heheheeee...now waiting my phone comeback!!
and I swear I won't to play with bootloader on w8 anymore
b'coz lucky on 1st time only, maybe when i sent to repair they make the security hole or whatever....

1. Flash back stock kernel using "Repair" option in SEUS or by using Flashtool
2. Download S1Tool from this post: S1Tool
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Launch s1tool.exe in the folder you extracted s1tool to.
5. Click on Restore button and then connect your phone to the PC in flash mode (press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC).
6. Wait for the process to complete. Congratulations! You now have relocked your bootloader!
7. To check, open s1tool.exe, click IDENTIFY button, turn off your phone, connect it in flash mode to the PC (press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC. The LED on your phone should flash green).
8. Continue holding back button until there is some output.

GingerXperia
GingerXperia works very nice with stock.kernel

Battery Drain
GingerDx V021 With Stock Kernel is giving me a lot of battery drain , even after battery calibrations. Wifi/3G are off ,background data and sync both are off... Display light is minimum. No background tasks running.
The battery reduces by 1% every 38seconds
No relief after reboot
Switching back to Froyopro V1.1

One thing I forgot to mention... I use SPB Shell 3D as my launcher...
Hope that doesn't cause the drain.
Well , there's no drain on my froyo ROM because of SPB Shell 3D
I had to Leave Gingerbread
Sad Story For Me

[Q] Custom roms for locked bootloader

Hi, my X8's manufacturing date is 11W35 => so i can't unlock the bootloader as far as i know.
So which custom roms (maybe looking like gingerxperia or gingercruzt) work with a locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance

even i had a locked bootloader (11w41) W8 phone earlier, used gingerxperia v23 without any problems! With xperia active launcher! Nice combo!

Check any ROMS for stock kernel
You'll find the list in threads such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240
And many more...

there's a PrimeHD that work like a charm

On topic the developer show the requirements - Stock, nAa, Alfs kernel.

Just try LinuXperia for stock
and see yourself

Thanks everyone but i found out that gingercruzt runs on stock kernel, so i just installed it and it runs very good.

kuyadroid was nice any stable (dony know why developer isnt updating it anymore)
im really sorry for people with 11w29 ++,,unlucky guyz...OooOoo
hope fxp helps you..

Hi, does the FM radio move from headset to loudspeaker (back and forth) easily with that stock rom?
As I am running PrimeHD and it gets locked on one or the other and won't switch back - also will randomly jump to loudspeaker when out and about - a touch embarrassing when Billy Ray Cyrus comes blasting from your phones and you can't get it back on the headset
If so - can you post which version of gingercruzt you flashed?
Cheers ..

Yes easily moves from loudspeaker to headset and back, no problems there just tested it to be sure
I flashed v8.4 with stock kernel.

Another question; What is the fastest rom for X8 with stock kernel? Should also be battery saving and not ram consuming, but most important: FAST
Cheers...

Full wipe from recovery?

Have you tried flashing the overclock module for stock kernel provided on the forum?
Sometimes, custom roms needs to be rebooted if you experience slowness over time.

[Q] Prime HD 9.0 Stock no overclock?

Hi, everyone I wold try to ask in development about this but I can`t post there since I`m a noob here, so here goes....
I installed Prime HD 9.0 (and the addon required for stock) I use stock kernel. The rom runs great . The only problem is that in cyanogen mod>performance i Try to change the frequency to higher than 600mhz and no options appear. So does anyone know why is that..?!
I tried to search for a similar question in the forum but nothing came up.

Don't ask questions in the dev section.
You need to install the overclock module to overclock.
Sent from my X8 to your screen

Ok, thanks I taught it`s a bug (that`s why I`d post in dev) because the other roms I`ve tried came with overclock. But this one obviously is not like that.

[Q] Overclock for locked bootload XZ?

I was looking for something about this and I found that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673476. Is it possible to do overclock in XZ with locked bootloader in a near future?
Thanks for your time.

You can't but if you unlock the bootloader you can flash doomkernel which allows you to overclock at almost 2 GHz. Keep in mind if you unlock the bootloder you lose mobile bravia engine and the other Sony apps like walkman. Once you unlock the bootloder there is no going back so think about it carefully before unlocking the bootloader.

The problem is that I can't unlock the bootloader, but I use a lot my XZ to see films... I may do the overclocking on december and maybe that in that date will be ready the overclocking for locked bootloaders...
Thanks for the information.

To see the film I want the BE2 the overclock is to run the advanced games because the next app generation are going to be desing for Exinos 5, Snapdragon 600 and tegra 4i, so with overclocking the XZ is like a S4 with Snapdragon 600 ready for the next apps. I think that this is going to happened on november or december so I want to do that in that date.

Not possible to OC without unlocking BL I'm afraid.

yes using modules (as long as we can insmod them) then it should be feasible, haven't played with the code for this yet enough to know.
