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

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

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.
Hello there, a couple of questions, I am at the moment running ginger dx, but Im not really a fan of CyanogenMod, So dont really want to use CM9/7/6 which pretty much narrows down the selection of roms
I have the Eclair (I think) Rom that came with the phone stored on computer (2.1.1.C.0.0) which I find very good, and completely lag free in every way (unlike the cyanogenmod ones sometimes)
I want just to know a couple of things.....is the C.0.0 the latest original rom from sony ericsson? did they bring a froyo rom out?
is there any complete stock (based on c.0.0 or later) custom roms???
I like to partition memory card so i can get a extra gig to store games etc, does link2sd or similar work on such a early rom???
I await your replys
-GARY
Yep... 2.1.1.C.0.0 is the latest.
You can try...
Beagle ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562511
X-Rom v3 and X-Clean v1 http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431231
They are based on 2.1.1.C.0.0. Partition works (ext2, IDK about ext3 and ext4 but try the X8 Toolbox ext4). IDK if SWAP partition works... Link2SD also works (I even using it on CM7 roms because mounting SD to PC is SLOW... )
I haven't tried those yet because some of my apps are for GBs.
hi
yes 2.1.1.C.0.0 its the lastest,no froyo or gongerbread oficial for our x8´s
there is a rom based on stock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633046 by 2010matej and yes link to sd works in eclair bro

Oh... I didn't knew Matej has new ROM already
Thanks for the info.
As stated above I would use one of Matej's Stock;Based ROMs.
Personally, I don't like the Stock ROM because of the Sony skin on it . Of course when I used the Stock ROM I didn't know about A-Cheps themes for it

Thanks to you all gonna flash one of those
I think I will actually try out the froyo roms, eclair, very stable, is missing a lot of options I use daily
I was using miniCm7 2.2.0 and it was completely lag free you can try it for yourself
and it is stable too
I have couple of question
1. how can i overclock my xperia x8 on stock 2.1
2. how can create android 2.3.7 rom without bootlouder
3. and whats the best rom for gaming for stock kernel
SRR for my bad English
So as to have android 2.3 you need to have recovery installed in your phone.(x recovery or CWM recovery).
Check youtube for detailed videos.
You can overclock on stock kernel via doixanh oc module.
Search forum for it.

I've tried both FroyoPro and MiniCM6 as they're shipped. FroyoPro wouldn't run some games and it would choke on others.
And, maybe he can't unlock the bootloader due to hardware constraints (manufacturing date). If he can, he should... and it would be the end of the discussion.
I will update my thread on gaming in stock kernel since I've found that when installing around 20+ games, the performance advantage dissapears. So might as well upgrade to GingerBread. If you're going to maintain a low count, kuyaDROID is a good choice. The early miniCM7 might as well be a good choice depending in your choice of games, tho weirdly it doesn't behave well with some games. When the games start to pile up, you might actually want to stay with the latest (v29) GingerDX.
about bootlouder is it dangeres to unlock my xperia x8 it has 10w48 on back

You do not have much of an options. There are 3-4 ROMs for our phone. It will not be too much to try, and see it yourself.
P.S. I use JetMOD.

What ROM I use
Well, as I am a noob at this site I've only used the Resurrection Pro ROM in my Samsung Galaxy S2 It's really smooth and has drastically improved my battery life from the Stock ROM.
Hope I helped
*EDIT*
Sorry, I thought you were talking about the SGS2. As you can tell I am a noob, please can you delete this post?

I use apex launcher and everything is so smooth. Games are working ok, played MC4 with solid performance, there were some lags, but not much.
Hey ! I have tried every single rom for JB which is out here. I'm most pleased with Chuckyrom as well as Supressed rom. Currently i'm with Chuckybean master rom V10 and with CoCore 5. The stats i get on benchmarks are great.
P.S I saw that you've just bought your phone. My concern is if you haven't noticed wheather it's i9070 or i9070P because if it's P nothing will work for you

Ow, thanx for the attention =]
I was with a Xperia Neo V before with a custom rom too and now with i9070, i've bought 4 months ago, i guess, xD. I was going to wait 'till the end of warranty but i just can't keep it with default rom and lots of bloatware!
BTW, i've downgraded to gingerbread last weekend, using stock rooted rom with the Cocore 1.5 mini kernel. I need to study and learn about the I/O schedules and governors, etc
I use JellyMOD 4.0 with ThunderZap 4.1 as Kernel. I very like the JellyMOD Design and the Ink effekt addon. This ROM is based on Chuckybean v9 an is very smooth and stable. The Battery Life is also ok.

Hi friends,
1.I have an Xperia X8.I have recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone.I wanted to install CM 7.1(shakira).So,I downloaded the ROM from the official cyanogenmod website.I read in one of the post that it works only with the kernel FXP30.After searching for a long time(because most of the links are dead) ,i finally found one.I flashed the kernel by using the flashtool provided by androxyde.Through the recovery mode,i flashed the cm7.1.It said flashing was successful.But after rebooting,it shows only "free xperia project" and nothing else happens...I tried cleaning the dalvik cahe,wiped the partition,did a factory reset.But no use...Is there any way to get it working? or am i doing anything wrong?
2.is MINI JB 4.2 better than CM 7.1?since i failed installing CM,i have flashed mini jb 4.2...but i want to install CM7.1 so badly...
Thanks in advance ....

1. FXP30 Kernel??? LOL never heard of that one before.
Any way since I have never heard of that kernel before it probably is pretty old and unsupported. Try using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585 with this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484 .
2. Do you mean JB Mini Project ROM? Because that ROM is Android 4.1.2 and not 4.2. Witch one is better depends on what you want. JB Mini Project has a lot more features and a lot more apps are compatible with it since it is a JB ROM, and any CM7 based ROM would be faster but there would be less apps compatible with it.
