hi to all and all I have a question for three days each time I check the other phone in xperia x8 to see if a particular rom is adapted to the configuration of our smartphone.
I turn to this forum for very active member advised me which version of android I can use it as version 2.1
Android 2.2
Android 2.3
Android 4.0
or
Android 4.1
thank you in advance for your response
mik2929
Android 2.2 - very fast, stable(best for games)
Android 2.3 -slightly slower than 2.2 ,stable (recommended) (balanced)
Android 4.0-not tested by me, abandoned by developers, unstable
Android 4.1 - stable,much slower than 2.3, lags due to tiny ram On X8, needs swap for smoothness, less gaming(low ram) but worth a try if you don't do heavy usage
At last
This is my personal review
The most appropriate answer is TRY IT YOURSELF

I install the SDK on windows google
I download the sdk for android 2.2
if I extract the system.img file I can put such as the original application launcher on the x8 ?

No,launcher apk and some system files need to be ported for that launcher to work.
Here is a FROYO rom with stock SE 2.1 launcher,download v3 version and flash it.If it dosent work by CWM,flash it trough X-recovery.(long before we were using older edify scripting method which x-recovery supports)
Also you could grab it from the zip file by extracting it and taking needed files which i dont know and i am not sure if 2.2.1 app is going to work on 2.2.9.
Rom is for stock kernel as all froyo roms.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060654
Lukenda thank you.
I'll see to the test I Thank you so much

hey all member i dont know if there already exists this thread, but what do you think is the best firmware for the galaxy s ?
(ps:sry im new to anroid ^^)
Flash the latest firmware 2.2 - JP6
If I were you, I would directly flash a ROM with integrated lagfix.
There is DocRambone with his ROM,
there is Tayutama,
there are several other ROMs.
Or you try mine, so you don't have to apply different steps to get a fast Galaxy S
thx @ darkyy
yeah the most important thing for me is [....] speed ^^
my sgs is sooo [....] slow xD
is there a difference between
tayutama , docrambone, and yours?
MOD EDIT: Offensive language removed
vanilla rom is nice
Shouldn't this be in Q&A?

Jpm/jp6 firmware.
Then it up to you and your skills.
I would start with z4mod on stock firmware and convert filsystem to ext2 with z4mod.
In the process you learn to flash.and what things are.
You phone will be fast and lagfree.
Then you can look for other kernel that's out here if there things you like.
You can also do what other say here and flash a Rom.
But you will not have the same control over the system.
If you want to change Rom you also need to start all over and install all apps again.
You don't need that with z4mod.
But z4mod and many roms are very good and solve the lag for you.
Sent from GT-I9000 Jpm OS kernel with z4mod
i didnt find a "good rom" either this time so using "stock android lock screen file" and "battery mod version d" and "universal lag fix kernel" (BLN on, ext4 or jfs, some tweaks on)
also using fancy widget and a blackground and launcher pro plus
i'm quite happy with it at the moment - i deleted some samsung apk from /system to make space too, else u can't make the mods
Hi all, I recently took the plunge into the world of custom roms and its awesome, so much better then stock
I have flashed my x8 with the Froyo 2.2.1/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 rom by ponanovn and he has just released a new rom Gingerbread 2.3.5/Cyanogenmod 7.1-Pre using cm7, When I first installed the orginal Froyo 2.2.1 I used x recovery and simply renamed the file to update.zip and simply flashed it and it worked however on his page he doesnt say rename the file to "update,zip" anymore and he says make a back up in "cwm recovery" instead of xrecovery is it neccesary to use cwm recovery with cm7? im just a bit confused if anyone could help me I would be gratefull Thanks
Too complicated! Download and install GingerDX instead. It's a FULLY working Gingerbread 2.3.5!

Thanks I was having a look at it before and it seemed pretty good, might just make the change to GingerDX, are you using it? if so are there any bugs etc? cheers
Yes, I'm using v005. SO SMOOTH!!! And 3MP camera!! I have no bugs at all. If you have bugs, make a full wipe.
I can recommend GingerDX as well, it is updated on a regular basis, and doixanh is one of the best ROM developers for X8 currently, he just seems to be able to pull things off that noone expected, like the 3mp camera fix for instance!
I agree, GingerDX is the most complete 2.3 Rom. There is updates nearly every day and each update will preserve your data, no major bugs and if there is DX will sort it.
Thanks for the help
I would suggest GingerDX.
But you can try to use multiboot if you have a class 6 or more sd card instead of changing a ROM.

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

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
Hi everybody, I have a little request. Can someone post the file "browser.apk" from an ICS Stock ROM for Galaxy Note?
I need to install the stock browser modified by Samsung, because it's the only one I like. I don't like the stock ICS browser (it's too laggy for me, expecially for the pinch to zoom), so I want to replace it with the Samsung Stock version.
Can somebody help me? I made a search and I found only the Gingerbread version of the browser. It doesn't work with my ICS version (it's a Cyanogenmod 9 RC1). I can't install a stock ICS ROM because my Note is an italian one, and ICS is not officially shipped anymore.
I'm not very familiar with installing ROMS on Android, so I don't want to install unsafe ROMs.
If ICS Stock browser.apk doesn't work, is there a modded ROM with the Samsung Stock browser?
this needs to be in Q&A notihng to do with dev section, post reported
Sorry, made a mistake! :|

Downloads stock ROM for CWM from the DEV section.
Unzip, locate the required APK and drop it into system/app then reboot.
Job done.
Backup any files you replace, just in case..... Copy them to your memory card.
You need to be rooted for this to work and use a tool like ES File Explorer that allows you to mount system as writable.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
I have found Stock ROMS you can install with Odin. Are they the same? Because I tried to extract browser.apk but i couldn't.

To be honest I don't know
There must be a way of extracting the APK but I've never worked with Odin ROMs
You could try one of the Rocket ROMs
They are CWM and close to stock
Because they are CWM they are basically zip files so it is easy to extract APK
Or search the forums for info on extracting from TAR and zimage
