I have been using FroyoBread since it release & pretty stable for me

now going to test the GingerDX

but i believe it will better than any other else
[XPERIA X8 General] dbzladsl:
Im a happy user of GingerDX v005... I think it is as stable as the original SE Eclair and now, with the camera fully working @ 3Mp, has all the functions I need. I reccomend this rom to everybody! On my X8 I've no su problems, the oly thing that doesn't work (for me) is the pintch to zoom! But I have to study more to solve this problem!

Hi everyone, thanks for the post and I agree, I am using MiniCM7-2.0.5a and It`s great, everything works fine so far, no reboots, very easy to install, I haven`t looked for a multitouch-pinch2zoom function, I`ll do it later

GingerDX the best ROM for X8 so far.
[XPERIA X8 General] lvoonjian8888:
From my opinion, the best is gingerdx as it is very stable and smooth. If you want to play game, just try to add in oc module and your phone will be great.

X8 with gingerdx v10, oc@710, fast reboot, AMM, Quadrant score more than 1200...:P

MiniCM 2.0.6

Quite good. Doesn't have the bugs that happen to me in GingerDX (gps logo sticking, FC and reboots - specially in 009 and 010- , etc). The only bad thing is that scrolling through the drawer is a bit laggy (like pre-GingerDX roms)

Great battery life !

The Gdx v010 has a great battery life at idle. I'm at 50% after 6 days.

Look at my screenshot :cool:.

I only use my phone for the alarm, phoned ~10min. Wifi, bt, gps, 3G and data are off, the autobrightness is on.

I didn't freeze any applications, or changing the frequency or whatever else.

So, battery drain should be caused by apps ?

Thx dx.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
What's the point of having a smartphone if you are using features you can have in a 1990's phone?
[XPERIA X8 General] _shagohod_:
It's just for showing that the "stock GingerDX" has a no battery drain. I didn't need other features this week.

Don't worry, almost of the time I use Wifi, GPS, sms and camera. And sometimes games and mp3.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
but that doesn't necessarily mean that the rom doesn't cause battery drain
[XPERIA X8 General] doixanh:
It's the apps you use that causes battery drain.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
I meant that perhaps there are built in apps causing the drain.
[XPERIA X8 General] neato4u:
Hey Dexter_prog , you sounded like you had bad experience with GingerDX battery drain? Mind sharing?
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
Not that I could notice, actually. I always have my phone plugged to the computer when I'm home. I noticed the same battery usage as other roms and it seems to be a general problem of Android. That is to say, if you use anything like SMS, 3G, WIFI or GPS, even if it was for one or two hours you seem to already have lost 20%. It sucks, but I guess that's the price we have to pay for having phones that can do all that stuff.

The only difference vs v12 I noticed so far is that the dialer has the numbers so small to regret the old one.

I hope it will hide some nice feature...
[XPERIA X8 General] squidlicker:
gingerDX v13 is a win for me. was using froyobread and totally notice the speed increase. just tweak the dialer to get rid of small numbers and bobs your aunty mary. doixanh is a legend for making this possible. regretted buying my X8 when I learned how limited stock eclair 2.1 was and that no more updates were coming from sony ericsson. fantastic site and totally saved this noob from binning an awesome phone. cant thank you enough.
[XPERIA X8 General] chal61:
For what I paid my X8, even 2.1 was a win.

Ive bricked my phone, which is a sony erricson X8 trying to update to a new rom,I had forgotten how to use xrecovery properly.

I reinstalled factory rom and then rooted phone and installed everything including xrecovery in order to put a new rom on

Everytime I now try to install new rom using xrecovery, it loads it but the rom stays on the ROM logo, but doesnt boot

Anyone know what the issue is?

Thanks for the help
[XPERIA X8 General] rav3n_pl:
1. Did you install another kernel?

Yes: try use proper rom for that kernel (GDXv17 for DX003 and FXP for FXP)

No: get GDX v12

Remember to full wipe after you install new rom different that you have b4.

Remember to make backup from xRecovery, you may also save your apps using TitaniumBackup, then restore them in new rom.
[XPERIA X8 General] frenchie46:

GingerXperia

Hi,

I've been reading this forum but I only registered today. I'm using ROMs on my cell phone for a while and regarding Gingerbread ROMs, I would recommend GingerXperia.

Version 11 is slower than Version 10 for me and some people around. But for me, v10 is way faster than GingerDX for graphics. I can play 3d games smoothly on GingerXperia v10 and I suffer on its v11 and GingerDX.

The phone app on GingerDX and A-lite theme are much better, but performance was a stopper for me (tested v15 and v17).

What is the best rom battery life?

I'm thinking for a work use: read and write documents (Isilo, Documents to Go, Swype), internet (Gmail, Opera Mini, Maps, Barnacle Wifi, read news, etc). For me clearly the biggest battery drain is the 3G internet (according to BMW reaches 600 mAh, while Documents to Go does not exceed 200 mAh)

I am using v22 Froyobread with smartass, and the battery lasts me 10-20 hours. (I have a low screen brightness, wifi, bluetooth, GPS off).

My question is mainly about the different roms, have several more efficient than others in the use of the battery? Do rom based in Gingerbread spend more than those based on Froyo? The union of a custom kernel and custom rom can be more efficient in the use of the battery?

Thanks and excuse my English :o

Hi.

I used to have a Xperia X10, for some personal circunstances I don't have it anymore. I got my Xperia X8 last saturday, and I installed almost immediately GingerDX 019 by doixanh.

Been using it for 4 days. No bugs and very fast, until now. Just a couple of issues: 1. Im having some problems trying to connect to WiFi in some places, in others works fine.

2. Last night when I synchronized my music from PC to the phone, the default Android music player didn't read the tags correctly, it showed "unknown artist" in all songs. I had to edit the tags manually (on 475 songs!) with Meridian.

GingerDX v019 on X8

I bought a X8 few weeks ago and i was searching for the best ROM which was fast and smooth! i went through http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1222348 this post and downloaded most of the ROMs and tried them... and the conclusion for me is that GingerDX v019 is the ROM thats stable, fast, smooth & has good graphics performance! and i'm using Xperia active launcher that blends with GingerDX v019 like silk, and gives X8 its natural STOCK look back! it looks great and still has a decent battery life! so if anyones looking for an all-rounder ROM then i will suggest GingerDX v019 (which is Gingerbread 2.3.7)

this link will take u directly to the GingerDX latest release http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1188486 :)
