Cm7. stupid answer to a stupid question.
In this moment i use JVU and is stable! I recomend that!
You will flash a JVwhatever, notice that they cannot compete with AOSP roms like CM7 or MIUI and flash back.
I recommend, in aim of saving time, to stay on MIUI.

Thats why i wrote that its a stupid question. Cause such questions tends to get people back to the same old fight between cm7/miui/samsung based roms.
i think you won't find the "best" jvz rom. they are all different and have all some problems, but thats android
btw i think DoctorzRom and S.U.R.F.A.C.E. are very stable and good

isnt galaxy droid a GS2 ROM? if yes, isnt this a GS1 forum? if no, can you send me the link?
Once you try tornado you will never look back
Simplicity is the best Gingerbread ROM ever for our Sammy..
The last release (yesterday) is 2.1 based on JVZ..cool!
But BLN doesn't seem to work for sms..any suggestions?
10 answers, and ten different advice.
Some about CM7, forgeting to remember you how bad battery life is,
some about their own rom ( I let you judge if their opinions are really relevant ^_^ )
And others about random roms.
So I won't give you any advice, except that you have to try them all and find the one that fits your needs.
You could trust some developpers more than some others, but it's not so easy as many "old and known" developpers do not behave, to my mind, as real gentleman, and troll a lot (and i'm not only talking about $omator ...)
Good luck, and welcome back to the jungle of random quality rom
this is a good rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388342 based on JVZ

For poor people who have lock bootloader

For those who are unfortunate about not unlocking their x8 with 11w30 and above/.... i have a question for u
im on stock kernel and rom and lock bootloader
sorry for asking but i cant seem to find answer if i can change my stock kernel to one of the stock kernel offering of other dev and change my rom to custom rom ??
if yes can u suggest a good rom with good battery life ans stable for everyday use i prefer GB THANKS
Well, stock kernel is stock because you cannot use the cutom ones offered by other devs. This, however, does not prohibit you the use of cutom roms, you only have to use the ones that support the stock kernel option.
As for the roms, well, check out the sticky in general section for a comprehensive list of various ROMs and their supported kernels (look for stock kernel in the kernels list).
<shameless_plug>I, personally, use GingerDX, a fast, smooth and really nice in overall rom</shameless_plug>

unlock your bootloader =P

It's kinda sad

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

don't forget froyobread. in my opinion one of the -if not the best- froyo rom for x8. stock kernel or not.

I have forgot that there is gdx...but i don't think its lightweight,and what about battery drain...but thanks for mentioning that
hm froyopro.....a lot of users said its lightweight ,fast ,stable and battery drain..well nobody mentioned that
i'll make a review of it when i install it

No battery drain on froyopro! Where did you get that ridiculous statement from?
Mimicm 1.0.2 is great and I used it while I was at stock kernel and it was like eclair,fast,smooth,reliable. Definitely try it!

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.

[q] how to flash stock kernel

I WAS WONDERING HOW I CAN FLASH THE SONY'S STOCK KERNEL ON A CUSTOM ROM LIKE CYANOGENMOD AND AOKP
BECAUSE ALL THE OHER KERNELS HAVE REALLY BAD BATTERY LIFE
IS THERE A WAY TO RUN CYANOGENMOD ROM ON SONYS STOCK KERNEL ???
I LUV THE SONY STOCK ROM BECAUSE OF ITS BATTERY,BUT I ALSO LUV CYANOGENMOD BECAUSE OF ITS CUSTOMIZATION AND LOOKS
PLEASE LET ME KNOW, IM STUCK GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SONY'S FIRMWARE AND CYANOGE
First, here are steps in turning off caps lock:
http://www.wikihow.com/Turn-Off-Caps-Lock
Secondly, please search before you post.
Thirdly, if somehow you just can't find what you're looking for:
No, you can't use Sony's kernel on CM11 based ROMs.
You can flash Doom's advanced stock kernel which is just Sony's stock kernel with added recovery via recovery if you want to switch back to stock-based ROMs. It is found in Doomkernel thread, please search for it.
Even we would really like to see AOSP/CM/MIUI on stock kernel, there's no luck...
But...
There are some projects trying to build MIUI on stick kernel so join them and try to help...
..hehe.. Here are steps for turning off caps lock...haha....good one...

CM,PAC other custom roms need custom kernel only..
there are no chances they work on stock kernel....
stock based roms only work on stock kernel
so in conclusion
is there any custom rom out there for xperia z1 that has a really good battery life ?

gotta try them out.. i can tell you what i feel is good, but you might feel its terrible. every person has their own needs and wants from a rom. so read the ops for each rom and try them out, thats the only way that you will know whats good for you or not. btw, roms and kernels are different. and each rom has its own kernel.
