[XPERIA X8 General] tegzie:
i'd go with miniCM being stable, although at the moment im using j's 2.3.3 as i dont use fm radio and VGA camera is good enough for me :)
[XPERIA X8 General] argpsi:
Same here with Racht's CM7-RC3... I replaced LP with ADW eventhough it's got less features... The screen seemed less responsive. Just seemed so... I also noticed battery drain in CM7 RC3 when I only had GPS on for a couple of mins. Battery kept on draining after that but i didnt try it again to be sure. Quite stable for me. I try to keep SU forgetting root apps and so avoiding crashes.
[XPERIA X8 General] air.surfer:
Thank you! Much better now!
[XPERIA X8 General] ThePietn1:
No problem, would you like to click on the thanks button of that post then?
[XPERIA X8 General] Rootis:
OK so it seems as though the general consensus here is that MiniCM is the most feature full and stable ROM for X8 at the moment. I am not really concerned with the camera, FM radio etc. Those things aside, between the MiniCM, J's and Ratchet's ROMS which is the most responsive and boast the best battery life? I'm currently using MiniCM but I don't find the battery life is that great... or is there something I could do to improve it (besides wipe)?

Thanks guys and girls.
[XPERIA X8 General] ruskia:
Most stable is SE official 2.1 ROM :)

Lastest miniCM ROM is quite stable. There is a problems with reboot when you are using ROOT applications but this custom ROM is most stable one!
[XPERIA X8 General] air.surfer:
Oopps!!! Done!!! :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 General] Doomguy:
MiniCM is the most stable for me. Racht 2.2 is pretty stable too.
[XPERIA X8 General] air.surfer:
I'm trying miniCM and it is quite stable. Sometimes, while i'm using, the screen remains dark (lowest brightness level) but all goes ok when i press on button.

I had only a few reboots but only on heavy use, close an app, open another, open notification bar and so on...

Wifi is fine (I have not tried wifi theter yet) SMS MMS, GPS, CAMERA as well and so on ... everything seems to work fine.

I have only a little bug, as you can see, with the radio app. DTS is superimposed to the frequency value and I cant find the close button to close the app...

Very good mod.

[XPERIA X8 General] rameznagui:
its the best
[XPERIA X8 General] argpsi:
Even ppl I know use miniCM after trying all X8 ROMs... Personally I still use Racht's RC3 and "wipe battery stats" fixed the drain problem. The cam on the X8 is awful anyway and apart from that I had just 1 reboot in almost a week. I think it looks very promising if the RC4 is actually the same with a few fixes...
[XPERIA X8 General] UAL4588:
Which ROM has fully functioning bluetooth?
[XPERIA X8 General] RoseN-95:
Are the MiniCm rom faster than Racht:s CM7RC4 and what's the biggest different between those?
[XPERIA X8 General] mohit_ramani:
First of all Many THANKS to ALL the developers, moderators and members for doing such a great job!!!

Now to which rom u should select??

Well i have tried all the roms currently available and according to me the best is MiniCMRC1

No doubt the ROMs by Rachts are pretty stable but they still have a lot of work remaining in them, but MiniCMRC1 is absolutely awesome. Reasons :

1)Very Stable

2)Autobrightness, Apps2SD, etc etc are all FIXED

3)Very very less Reboots, none for me as per now

4)The most important for me was that I can play NFS Shift & Pro Baseball

i tried playing them on CM7RC4 but they didn't work so today i downloaded MiniCMRC1 and they not only worked but they worked great, No Lags.

5)Very Fast

6)New Music Player for Android available on XDA didn't work on CM7 but it too did on MiniCM

7)I was not able to update Launcher pro in CM7 but working with MiniCM

8)Good Themes

No offence to Rachts but for now MiniCMRC1 rocks but I am sure once CM7 is completed it will be the Best...

Once again many thanks to all the DEVELOPERS, MODERATORS and MEMBERS...

XDA ROCKS!!!!!

[XPERIA X8 General] leingod0923:
For me the most stable and full of features is the FroyoBread or GingerDX from the same creator i use froyobread for the battery life...
[XPERIA X8 General] droidgotbricked:
I use froyopro, it a rom based on froyo bread.... It is fast, stable and has more battery life and more free internal memory.... I had about 168 mb free internal after i installed froyo pro....... for 1 1/2 days the battery has gone from 90 % to just 50%....

better for me, and more important is that it has no bugs(for me)..........

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scorpia:
I've edited my hosts file, with various different methods... signed flash, rooted copy, adb push, move, and EVERY time, it is a partial success. ALL of the hosts in the file successfully direct to 127.0.0.1 when I ping them from Terminal Emulator. They show as they should from nano. However, when I try any and all of them in any browser (Safari, Opera Mini, Dolphin HD), it connects fine to everything in the file!

One of the blocks are suggestqueries.google.com - Since I have no choice, I use this to block Google search suggestions from the YouTube application. This does its job in YouTube, but you guessed it, I can connect (and get redirected) in the browser perfectly.

"Anything" browser related to my hosts file are not working. Namely, the one I want to block the most is clients1.google.com. It's in there in the hosts file, and pings back to 127.0.0.1, but of course, the browsers redirect this to Google.co.uk, and picks up suggestions normally. The same goes for all of the sites in the file.

DroidWall wouldn't solve this issue either as I can only block applications, not hosts. I tried fixing permissions, changing APN maybe it would clear DNS cache I don't know?? (if it really makes any difference). Tried with and without Adfree with/without symlink. The behaviour does not change. If it pings back to 127.0.0.1 and works for all other applications, I don't think there is anything wrong with the file or its operation. Can someone please advise me why this is happening and how to solve it? I've spent about a week searching, editing, flashing and more searching. :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Scorpia:
So I take it nobody knows? Is it supposed to be like this?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladynaamah:
Hello, i have a question about one modification... i would like to have volume controls rempaped to following:

Volume up (short press): Volume up

Volume down (short press): Volume down

Volume up (long press): Next song in playlist (HTC Sense player)

Volume down (long press): Previous song in playlist (HTC Sense player)

I imagine there are some applications out there that can handle the short-press and long-press mapping, but the mapping to HTC Sense player might be really really tricky. Pressing up key (on joystick) jumps to next song, pressing down to previous song, but it works only when media player tab is selected... any other tab uses joystick for other purposes. any suggestions for realization are welcome :)

I would also appreciate mapping shallow press and release of camera button to play/pause, while shallow press followed by deep press would result in launch of camera (as was intended by sony) :) but that's not too important as i can simply mute the radio player.

The thing is i use this phone as a MP3 player for my car radio, it is far more intuitive to use hardware buttons instead of touchscreen, not to mention safety... I'm used to this keymapping from good old K750i, unfortunately for xperia, other OS, other habbit.

The problem appeared all of the sudden, here it goes:

I've received a call, screen did not light on, i could answer, and i can answer with the screen turned off.

I pulled the battery, turned it on, seemed fine, locked the screen and now on unlock, it unlocks, buttons light up, it seems to be working, but screen wont turn back on.

Tried the call+menu+end button, turned on, could play, it seems to frame a bit, but i dont know what happens, the screen wont turn on on unlocking!

removed the sd card and it worked! ffs i couldnt transfer a song and later the black screen happened. didnt know it could relate. this is so strange! i gotta get a new sd card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fil42skidoo:
I recently rooted my old G1 and installed Cyanogen 4.08 (or whatever that gen is) and along with the new 8 gig card have room to install apps. One pair of apps I had pre-rooting and flashing was NESOID and SNESOID which I had to get rid of due to room. Now I reloaded them with the old roms I had and tried to run them and lo and behold they don't run....but they did before!

The software loads and I select a ROM (still zipped as usual but I tried unzipping just in case) but when I hit a ROM it goes black for a second then returns to the load screen. Trying all the ROMS gets the same result.

In the task bar i see the icon of NESOID (or SNESOID...I tried both) and it says "NESOID is Running" and if I pull down that screen and hit that it goes back to home screen and stops. No force close or anything. Just nothing.

Any ideas? I tried cachecompress on and off and that's about it. Can't think of what else to do. Is it Cyanogen?

Thanks!

You should try running gingerbread or some of the newer froyo builds with new spl/radio hack to run those emualtors, you'll see about a 30-45% performance boost when playing them imo. I've tried both Sparksmod 1.6.2 and gingerbread cos and both roms ran emulators very well.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Most important now is to get your PC recognised.

How?

Uninstalling the drivers by going to your device manager.

Deleting your device from the device manager and re-inserting your phone to the PC. See if you get the same unrecognized device.

Try doing it in different combination. Try what gbohm had suggested using another PC and installing the drivers.

You got to keep on trying. Only when you get back into working condition then we talk about the root cause, ok?

Let us know.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
You are getting me confused. You said in the op that you can only go to download mode but your com cannot recognised your phone.

But now it looks like you can boot up your phone and the problem is the icon refused to go off until you reset the phone.

Connect your phone to pc under download mode and launch odin. Did you see odin have a small yellow highlighted box @ the ID:COM?

If yellow it means you can reflash your rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] andshm:
i can reboot my phone with cwm or usb plug into phone with power supply. if i on my phone without power supply it will goes to download mode.

odin won't recognize my phone otherwise i would have go back to stock rom and send it back for warranty. i am stuck cos its rooted and on written rom which would void warranty.

this is my biggest problem while it still normal but i can't use it an external storage when hook on usb to my computer.

thanks guys and my case is rather unique which i can't find anyone having this problem posted on xda forum.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valinorian:
Do this:

When your phone is in dowload mode (so when you see the green android logo) disconnect all cables.

Open odin on your pc.

Now connect your phone to your pc.

Now tell us what you see in odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jobiza:
It could be bad download mode. Try the hard reset button on back of the phone. You see it between camera and speaker, try pressing it same time you press download mode combo. I take no credits of this method, Yovi found it and you should thank him if it works.

Not really - all you have are an application constantly conflicting with Android's automatic memorymanager and constantly using ressources trying to kill tasks and services which Android are trying to start again all over. All you are doing are making the phone run worse with less cpu free for other tasks and a higher battery use.

NEVER ever use task killers on Android 2.x and up

Its been informed and documented over and over again, but still so many wrongfully think they should install task killers.
