[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)

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!

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

1.there are many threads here explaining how to unlock bootloader, so please read a one of them. also as it seems risky for some users think twice.(you might brick your phone) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436924&highlight=bootloader+unlock)
and when it comes to custom roms, some needs custom kernals and some don't. so decide which rom you want based on their features, looks, etc and if the selected rom needs a custom kernal then you have to flash.
2. read user reviews, also there are some big names like LinuxDX, nAa, alfs etc....
3. nope
4.sorry isn't it showing in "About Phone" section on "Settings"? under "Model Number"?
P.S. i used some custom roms too. but back to stock 2.1 because of battery issues. I used "Sony Ericsson Update Service" aka "SEUS" to reinstall stock rom. and there is a app named "Links to SD" which do the same task of "Apps2SD" so you can free up some memory if you use 2.1.

thanx goldbugbee......

Correction: to goldbugbee
3: yes. For some roms you need a specific Rom. Like minicm uses naa kernel. Etc

2.The best kernels out,in my opinion,are nAa's and alf's search them....
3.the best way to flash a new kernel is while being on stock rom
Attention! You wont be able to boot to stock rom if you flash a cutom kernel,so load the rom to the phone before you flash the kernel,anda then through cwm blabla...
4.Pull out the battery of your phone it should say somewhere
I hope i helped you

Custom kernels help to give most out of our phone ie better battery performance etc as compared to stock kernel.

11W33 vs unlocking bootloader

Hey!!
I'm new on this forum. So I have rooted X8 (E15i) with 11W33 and I have GingerDX, but its slowly. I want to unlock bootloader for greater performance, but I read that bootloader unlock can permanently damage the phone. I search for safe roads to unlock phone, or better ROM for stock kernel. This phone Is my first with Android, so please understand me.

Dont try to unlock you wll brick ur phone. only below 11w29 its safe, above its playing with your luck:fingers-crossed:.
just try some stock kernel roms and find what suit you. i think dx is very good just update it or delete some unwanted apps that slow it down
if you want to check this support stock kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237930
if you want to stay with dx you can speed it up by overclock it with this module that u can find it in his thread
(GingerDX Overclock Module (x8oc.ko v004) ) but dont set very high frequences.

thats not true
check this forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506502
u can now unlock the bootloader above11w29+.

It is still 50-50% chance for 11w29-11w34 and above that through you're phone after trying it, only if you're very lucky you can have it work on 11w35+..
Sent by the walking walkman..

You can try, but there is a big chance that you end up with a hardbrick.

I dont want any chance to brick my phone. I tryed GingerDX + OC to 768 and governor performance but it's slowier than Stock rom. I downloaded unofficial MIUM rom and its quite faster, but still this is not good rom, i have only 20MB free ram, when i kill all apps.

Help Choosing Custom Rom

Hi, for the first time I'm planning to install a custom rom so infact I'm doing this only because of native app2sd support:fingers-crossed: but to be honest I want a full compatible custom rom which should support and run most applications from market and performance should be good just like the stock 2.1 if not better... and if possible then camera and all other major functions should be working in it without any bugs.
That's all I ask .. currently I'm thinking about :
cyanogenmod
GingerDX
GingerZaraki
but I don't know which one is better Don't really want to unlock bootloader / kernels unless really necessary..
Thanks in advance.

Unlocking bootloader & installing a custom kernel is highly recommended ( if u don't know how to unlock & required build date DON'T TRY IT)
Best rom for stock is Gingerdx (my opinion) very stable, smooth.
Camera, etc works fine & without bugs.
Native app2sd is also supported
