I would recommend you read the various threads first and make your own judgement.

you have been here longer than i am, so i would think that you are supposed to read and use the search functions of this forum than just wait up for answers from other people that may not come at all.
if you are afraid to root, go no further. if you take the risk, then go all the way and test all the available roms and decide which one suits your taste. it's your phone, it's your risk.... do not blame anyone if something bad happens, because if somebody answers your question "which one would you recommend" and somebody does recommend a specific rom, and you BRICKED your phone in the process... you will curse whoever gave you that suggestion.
I found Rocket Rom v22 used with franco v6 kernel very fast and stable. I got my best benchmark scores using this setup.
Now on Midnote ICS and while very smooth it doesn't have the same benchmark scores. (Not that they mean much as it feels quicker in daily use).
To sync FB pics with contacts install FB app then go to settings/accounts and sync, add FB account. It will ask you what to sync eg all contacts etc

if u r brave enough ... try rocket rom ics beta v1.5.. but be very careful while flashing.. u need to be fully rooted. If you would like to stick to gingerbread go with chechrom v5
Thanks people!! if you guys got any opinions or tips on note please let me know thanks!
and anyone know how to show percentage in the battery icon?
check the thread with the imilka ROM AOSP which has the solution for battery percentage

ROM - imilka's ICS AOSP
tried all ics roms ,,midnote has been best so far smoothness everything working was easist to flash also and stayed rooted
I won't suggest you flash ics rom as the procedures are much more complicated than flashing a gingerbread rom.

Custom rom is generally smoother and has a better battery life than stock.

i use CWM recovery method to flash the newer rom ( N7000XILB1 and N7000OXALA4 ) and after everything i go settings to check my version it say 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6? why? anyone can help me? thanks
Hey x8 XDA'ers.
First of all, I'm sorry for asking this kind of question, but Please bear with me man.
I'm looking for a good STABLE rom with stable battery life, good performance etc, for my sister. She's tired of hers Xperia X8 since it feels slow and react so damn slow.
I'm a SGSII user myself, so I dont know nothing about X8, but I promised her to try and improve her phone's performance so I would be grateful if you could tell me which rom's I should take a look at. Since it is my sister he knows nothing about tech-related stuff, so the rom needs to be stable and good for daily usage, since if anything goes wrong she have no clue what to do
I know XDA hate questions like "what is the best rom etc..", but I'm just asking for your personal experiences with the different rom and what you would recommend for this kind of usage
Thank you XDA!
if she doesn't need a lot of features and she's okay with eclair, i'd say stick with stock. or go for any of the gingerbread roms. all of them work great especially gingerdx and minicm7. plus if you install a custom kernel and overclock it slightly, performance would improve drastically. and if you want to go for ics, try minicm9 or isdx. h
MiniCM7 + nAa kernel is the most stable Rom out there.
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
Well, if you want android 2.3 then choose between gingerDX or MiniCM7.
If android 4.0 then MiniCM9.
well, if its about your sister i can tell that she dont need high performance, but an improvement is nessecery.....and this rom must have and some beautiful icons?! am i wrong to somewhere?...no i am not!hahaha:laugh:
first to do, download x8toolbox(here), root, install busybox, install cwm, download gingerdx(here), put it in your sd card, reboot to cwm, full wipe-wipe dalvik, go to "install zip from sd", find the rom you download and wait until its finish, reboot, enjoy!
(i dont thing your sister needs a custom kernel, with this rom she will not have any problem and its a tone more awesome from eclair, so see will be happy)
this is all.
1. Pls use search next time.
2. Is the phone already rooted? Cwm installed? You may want to check our stickies for that.
3. I'm assuming your sis is on stock kernel (locked bootloader). If it's unlocked then that's a whole new ballgame.
Here are some you ay wanna check out:
1. Froyo roms are supposedly faster than gb roms (never tried though, so i can't elaborate on the features)
2. The really popular GingerDX. Smooth, fast, stable, and lots of features.
3. LinuxLx's LinuXperia. Cm 7.1. Great 2d/3d scores (dev is a girl so the appearance may be to your sister's liking)
4. Xperiafan's RCI V4. Haven't used it much but has good reviews.
Hope that helps.

First of all, thank you so much for all those fast answers! Thank you!!
#2
She mainly wants better reaction/performance but an upgrade to Gingerbread or ICS would be great as well. I don't know if it would be good for the performance or not tho.
Thanks, I think I will check out Gingerdx, isdx and miniCM9. I think I'll overclock abit, but I still want it to be 100% stable, how much can I overclock, without destroying the battery life and making it unstable?
#3
Thanks for your opinion, will take it into account.
#4
Uhm, #2 mentioned isdx, what do you say about that?
#5
Hah! yeah probably
afaik ICS has beautiful icons, but maybe gingerdx has as well?
As mentioned, I'd like to overclock abit to increase the performance, so I bet a custom kernel would be good. What would recommend?
and thanks for the quick tutorial, I do know how to root'n'flash tho, since I've done it a ton of time on several other devices
#6
Sorry, I tried to make a quick search in the x8 forums, but I couldnt find a thread about recommended roms for girls
Most ppl recommend GingerDX, so I will probably check that out as well as MiniCM9, since ICS would perhaps be great (If it is stable tho)
She isnt going to play games I can tell for sure, so 3d score doesnt matter I guess. But thanks, will check it out, since it is a girl-made ROM
Amazing fast answers, thanks man! I appreciate any feedback <3
Ics aint stable . I dont reccomand for daily use man. GingerDX or MiniCM7 are just perfect.

GDX v22 or VivoPrime or miniCM7!
Froyo pro 2.2.9 very fast...long battery..but low version.. try this...will happy..believe me just try this...for me unbelievelable...good.

ok, first of all take out the battery andd look at the back sticker on the phone(on the phone!!!!!!!!), there will be a number like this 10wxx, 11wxx or 12wxx if it is 11w29+ just forget about unlocking bootloader,so you can not flash custom kernel, if it is 11w29- then look this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24630104&postcount=2 there you will find the links for guides about unlocking bootloader.
have fun!
If you unlock your bootloader and install a custom kernel (Alfs v8a CM7) I'd try GingerZaraki..
Best rom on this forum IMO..

It says 11w19, so that's great
With gingerDX, which is the rom I will install, I've decided, what kernel would you recommend then?

Alfs because team GDX making Alfs kernel too!
MiniCm 7 With Hello Kitty CM7 THEME!
just try Kuyadroid
Kuyadroid is most stable rom,its on stock kernel so you dont need to unlock bootloader !! Its so easy to installing,just need rooted and xrecovery !!
Thanks, I think I have decided to go for GDX with alfs then more opinions are welcomed!
//SGSII\\
Okay, I have a few final questions.
The script to root x8 require ADB, so I need to install that again (just reinstalled windows), was so complicated.
Isnt SuperOneClick easier? ( This method -> http://www.xperia-x8.com/tutorial-how-to-root-sony-ericsson-xperia-x8/ )
How much is completely SAFE to overclock the x8 with alfs kernel and GDX rom?
About 760 mhz..dont set it on boot.
I dont recommend oc.shorter batery life.

Well,
Rigth now i have android 4.0 in my captivate, but it has a lot of bugs, with the audio, music, and sometimes just close the app just because!!
I decided to change the rom for another newer, but i don't know a lot of this world, and i have some questions that somebody experiment can easily answer.
When i dont know a lot of what the kernel do for the phone, but do i really need change the kernel?? Because the last time i tried with semaphore but i briked my phone.
If i need to change the kernel, could some body tell me te more stable for android 4.1 or 4.2
Second question.
I want another ROM which one is the more stable and with better performance, i dont want any spectacular, but with a good performance and all working its enougth for me.
And the last one.
How can i save my apps to reinstall all again, i mean i'm working bad piggies and where is may water, and i dont want to lose my levels jaja.
Thanks again for your time its really a lot of help for me.

No need to change kernel.
CM10.0 stable rom. It is 4.1.2 os.
You can read other threads on how to use Titanium backup or other tools to preserve your user data and user apps. Don't try to restore system apps to a new rom, though. if you have given google permission to backup your data, it may already be restored when you reinstall the app from google play.
You will still want to do a full factory wipe, followed by flashing the correct gapps package. you can find all the instructions and links in the CM10.0 thread in the captivate development forum.
If you want to go to 4.2, I've found the CM10.1 nightlies to be very stable. There's a separate thread for it with links, etc.
Thanks for your answer, and thanks for the extra of read my post because my english is too bad jaja.
Another question, why the developers create new kernels if we can work with the same for a lot of roms, i mean what things make better some kernel from another??

Each kernel has its different characterstic, like on can help you overclock your device while some help to give good battery backup and they make our phones more stable

or less stable . .
driving new features or higher performance is often, but not always, accompanied by a loss of stability, at least for a few revs.
imho, the base kernel in cm is excellent for someone whose chief concern is simplicity and stability, without a burning desire to be at the bleeding edge.
that said, the semaphore and others do have some added tweaks that can do just what you said.

I think I should have been more clear in my first response.
When you flash cm10, you will be flashing a new rom that includes a new kernel that is different than the one you have now.
I thought you were asking about flashing a kernel as a standalone, such as semaphore kernel, rather than a complete rom.
When I said you do not need to change the kernel, I meant that once you flash a complete cm10 rom, you do not need to change the kernel.
For a ROM, I highly reccomend sephhi's captivating (4.2.2 with xperia theming and very much aimed at performance and battery life) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057574
This is the answer!!!
Excelent, i really appreciate your help, and i think that now i will flash with CM 10, maybe i will return for more help if i needed, but now nothing can scared me like the first time that i try this

It's sad to watch all these new ROM'S and kernel's here knowing you can't have them because u can't unlock your bootloader....
And ROM'S compactible with stock kernel are sometimes(70% of time)slow.
I've realized that now aftee getting motherboard with date number 12W03
Now I know how it feels...to be limited :'(
Don't think I am complaining because I'm not,I just want to bring back a little development for stock kernel to show us,stock kernel users that we are not forgotten.
With this thread I am asking someone of you developers to make really lightweight,smooth ROM.
I know you are busy with developing for nAa or some other kernel but I think that other stock kernel user,will agree with me.
Sorry for your time and thanks for reading this!
Please don't tell that there are already plenty of good ROM'S for stock kernel user because there are not...no offense....I a just saying that most of them are slow and laggy
GDX ain't slow on stock kernel
I used it though
Except u need some heavy gaming

Well, stock is ungrateful and painful in development. I don't like to re-stock 50 times, root 50 times, put recovery etc. and still don't know what's going on because logcat doesn't even start. So I wouldn't expect so many ROMs.
And hey, it's 2013 adn X8 was released in 2010 so it's like using Celeron 433 MHz now

You are missing something very important mate, X8 come with eclair 2.1, if you are not satisfied with what devs give you then make sth better or don't complain, nobody cares if you feel limited.

Definitely worth a try. But the latest iterations of GingerDX work great. Probably even better when lots of apps are installed. Tho I didn't tried MiniCM6 with the A2SD script I'm using now.

I don't know what you mean by lightweight. GingerDX is pretty standard when it comes to the apps that come with it. Besides anything you don't like can just be uninstalled using Titanium Backup.

i have to agree. no offense to froyopro users, but froyobread seems to be smoother for me. faster too, imho. haven't tried minicm 1.0.X though.
for gb, i think gdx is good. may be the best stock kernel gb rom right now.

I highly recommend ElementalX. IMHO it's the best kernel available for the M7UL (Sense/GPE). Aside from all the extra features I'm getting better battery life and faster performance by undervolting and overclocking my CPU/GPU. The developer flar2 also has an app available for a small fee that is well worth the price so that you can tune all of the kernel parameters. If you are running a Sense or GPE based ROM, give it a shot and see for yourself.

like said above, its a great kernel. Battery life is good but you can expect it to drain a little bit faster depending on what settings you'll use. Anyway try it and if you don't like, you can always flash your stock kernel back.

so there is no risk of bricking my mobile or somthing like that cause previously also on some phones i flashed roms and nothing really happened and i really want to flash this kernal so i think if it is no risk then i should go ahead and flash it
If you are really worried, then just take your time, read the OP for ElementalX and make sure you understand what you are doing. I don't understand how you could flash a ROM and have nothing happen.. If you mean that it worked fine, then yes, you should have no problem with this kernel, it is rock solid.
Kangaroo Kernel is also another good one. I suggest trying elementalx and then kangaroo if you fell like trying something different. The kangaroo script to modify the settings can be a bit "advanced" for some.
