Custom rom from jerpelea looks a great 2.1, as it is the AOSP (Android Open Source Project). This means you get a ready to use Android without any stinky app added.

Sony Ericsson added a layer over the AOSP (Rachael UI) and LOTS of apps. Lots of us are bored of these useless apps and we don't like RachaelUI, as it consumes a ton of power from our devices.

With AOSP, you get a ready-to-customize OS (you can adapt it to your usage, and NOT get bored by what Sony Ericsson forces to have), with much better performance, much more efficiency and responsiveness.

Give your 2.1 a try under Quadrant, then try using 2.2 AOSP... You'll notice you gain more than 1000 points without any enhancement ;)

I've been trying to boost my SE 2.1 by deleting old junk, my score raised of about 50 points for best result ;)

It's all your choice if you're happy with Sony Ericsson rom, or want some power out of your x10 with a custom rom :)

In the worst case, you may need to reflash (this is not dangerous, simply boring :p)

Run ADB and use the command

adb shell killall servicemanager

If you don't know how to run ADB, read post 1 of the thread (enable USB debug on the phone, run dos prompt within the ADB folder, and type the command).

This may help, please tell :)

Your device is not rooted :)

From your 2.1, check your device is correctly rooted by running the root tool (I don't know the English name, stuff like "Super Admin rights" ?).

Do not forget -please correct me if I'm wrong, ie Rendeiro- you are not able to install xrecovery within 2.2 rom as the rom is running from the SD Card (so you can't mount it).

a little request to move this thread to development section and stick to the top..

no reason after this for people to ask in the dev rom thread since the guide for dummy is there...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyzm345:
a little revise..

INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP

Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!

Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)​

1st step:

make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..

in case in need for command execution..

- Download Android SDK

You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).

2nd step:

- On x10 :

Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).

Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.

Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".

3rd step:

install xrecovery for recovery menu.

xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu

4th step:

Download rom.

2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)

extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)

upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)

rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP

*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like

5th step:

boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)

backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)

hit full wipe

hit install update.zip from SD card

after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10

*2.2 AOSP is not ready for daily use..

if u want to test it out, u can use the tutorial from the 1st post...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
yes youre right but this is about 2.2 rom not the 2.1 `couse xrecovery is for 2.1

those questions should be asked on the xrecovery thead or someone open one to help as you did on the pror post...that should be a new thread to help others.

and i don`t think that the devs thead should be used to help...to do that exist this one "Q&A" the problem is due the fact most people dont search just ask.

people want to try things but allways afraid to do so.

1. if i was afraid i would buy a dog (i have three because of that):D

2. if i was afraid i would buy an iphone `couse that way i can`t do anything ;)

just to end this: i think you should open a thread with tah info you posted here but on "Q&A" ;)
