[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerrob:
I'm going to give a quick run down of my situation and what I have done and I would just like to get some understanding or guide to what the heck I'm doing different then everyone else.. and I have lots of knowledge in technology and I'v been playing around with phones for 14 years now.. So here's the deal.

I have 2 Sony Xperia X10a. - one from Rogers the other from Fido.. Who give's a crap.. OK next.

I flashed both phones with FlashTool 3.0.0 -

Rom - X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf

Root IT / Reboot

Xrecovery Install. - I select the first one , so the one w/out GB in the name.

Copy Files to SD Card for GB Flash..Files I copy are..

" X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "

" ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "

I also have a folder "Addons" that I have a couple things like.. " SEMC.Calculator.zip & "SEMC.Gmail.Gtalk.Email.zip" ..so on..

I then Reboot the phone into Xrecovery...

1 - Wipe user data

2 - clear cache

3 - advanced options - clear cache again..

4 - Install Custom Zip....Select " X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "... Done

5 - Reboot Via XRecovery and Remove battery Instantly

6 - Flash via FlashTool - X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only kernel_baseband.ftf

7 - Unplug / Remove battery . Wait 10 Seconds.. Boot phone.

8 - Phones Booted.. My SD Card already was in 2 FAT32 Partitions. One 14GB one 1GB..

9 - Proceed to Link2SD App..Start it.. Reboot Phone..

10- Selected and Linked Apps in Link2SD .. Rebooted Phone..

11 - Started Link2SD ...go to " More " .. Selected link dalvik-cache files... Rebooted Phone

12 - Used File Explorer .. went to SDCard.. if there is a Scriptz folder Delete it.. there was no scriptz folder..

13 - Rebooted Phone.. Enter in Xrecovery mode.. Advanced options .. "Wipe dalvik cache"

14 - Install Custom Zip..Select " ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "... Done...

15 - Rebooted Via Xrecovery

16 - Started Link2SD... go to " More " .. Select "Link dalvik-cache files" again and then "Market Fix"

17 - Rebooted Phone again.

18 - Used phone.. Setup Google Accounts / Email / Facebook / A few apps / synced picasa photos... Rebooted

Done Install..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19 - Ran Quadrant Standard Benchmark .. Free From Market.. Only Scored 850

20 - Rebooted.. and then Installed SetCPU.. Few $ from Market....When I started SetCPU I selected " Show Other Frequency Sets " and Selected

Custom Frequency Reads from:

/sdcard/setcpu.txt

/system/sd/setcpu.txt

/data/local/setcpu

Sort Speeds in kHz, Separated by comma, from lowest to highest.

21 - Allowed Root Access.. and I did not Touch one setting in SetCPU. I went to advanced and selected "Apply"

22 - I then went to INFO in SetCPU .. If I run a Short Bench.. I score between 220 - 250.. avg sometimes it spikes.. Long Bench is 519..

23 - Rebooted .. Ran Quadrant again I am only scoring max 1080ish.. Lowest I have seen is 800.. It is all over the place.. and no where close to 1750 that erik is getting..

24 - I also Ran LINPACK and my max on a single thread was 38 .. and on multi-thread it was 32...

I don't understand What I am missing or doing wrong.. Maybe I have spent too much time on it in the past few days flashing and re flashing and yada yada that i'm just in need of a good break and then go back at it.. but my roomie who has the other X10 that I converted her to from the Iphone is also doing the same where it's not scoring to great..

I also am running into issues on her phone where it's having lots of force closes and freezing....I was just doing a quad benchmark on it now and it only scored 600??? I did the exact same.. back to flashing 2.1.. all the exact steps I have taken on my phone.. the only difference is she only has a 2gb sd card so I have not installed Link2SD on her phone.. But I have been told that should not make too much of a difference.. have i been mislead? Please assist. I am VERY lost and starting to get cheesed .. I just want what Erick has LOL But Really I converted her from Apple to Droid because she used my phone when I had one of Erick's first GB Roms and it was running fast.. she was very impressed and happy..

.. OK As I was typing this out I'm playing around with the phones and I just got a new msg on BOTH phones remember one is Link2SD one is Not.. " Could not read SetCPU Custom Config. Reverting to Defaults. Is your SDCard unmounted from the PC? .. Both phones are not plugged in .. I did a remount in storage settings.. Same error.. But If I do a device selection again.. it reads the SD Card SetCPU.txt files.. WOW . I am so confused. PLEASE ASSIST!!!!

I really hope there is enough information here.. ask me for anything or to do anything on it and i'll send it and give it a shot ! Thanks in advanced everyone! and thanks again Erick for the sick ROM!

Wow.. Another Patch! Updating to 3.3f.zip.. Will report back if any change in performance! no change.. now I just have the Sony Setup Menu start everytime my phone boots.. if i clear advanced cache in xrecovery all my sync accounts get deleted.. and I also had to downgrade my market because it was just crashing.. I also have problems with swype .. it keeps crashing in chomp.l never had problems like that until 3.3f update. ... thou I just talked to Janessa and she said her phone is groovy like the 70's.. LOL I don't understand.. She was having the problems...now I am! :( LOL Let's get some input going! Thanks again Everyone! AKA ERICKWILL!!

Thanks again erick!!
