I've been using wolfbreaks 2.2.1 CM6.1.3 for about ten days and it's stable. No stock videocam but flash & apps2sd more than make up for it. Very quick and aesthetically pleasing.
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Well Im sure you are in the minority going by my experiences and the other comments in that huge thread!!!

I do appreciate though that we all use our phones in different ways....
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Again tried and far from stable! Perhaps though that is where the issues arise....One mans stable is another mans manic!

My version of stable is a ROM that allows me to use all my hardware functions and reports no errors.....Just like stock....
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Ever think maybe it's you? I've been keeping up with the free x10 thread and most people don't report errors other than the camcorder..
[XPERIA X10 General] junxlee:
non working camera and videocam is a deal breaker for me, therefore still sticking with official.
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
No I am experienced enough thanks to this site to dowload the rom and install. If you cant see the other reports of errors in that thread then perhaps it is me and I need my eyes tested....

Battery drainage?

Screen responsiveness?

Dropping 3g connection?

To name but 3......
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Anyhow going slightly off topic when really the point is too see if anyone else thinks a section for fully working roms would be helpful?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
If thats the one on V4....then i agree its really good. Besides no video recording it has been awesome. Probably my fav rom higher than 2.1.
[XPERIA X10 General] woncka:
I think it's a great idea, but it will be difficult because of the word "fully worked/stable" (what for one person is stable is not for another)
[XPERIA X10 General] Kroniq420:
Sure you could put that section in but don't expect to see a single rom that is 2.2+ in there. I realistically as much as i hope I'm wrong don't expect to ever see one in there. This phone is pretty much at the end of it's run now and the bootloader is still locked with no intention from SE to unlock it due to certain copyrighted materials and the such. Sad but a fact i think we all need to start facing.

I almost think we're at the point where there is very little more that can be done other than variations of the same roms already available.

Please do not take this as a shot at the devs as i have much respect for the work they do and without them my phone wouldn't be half what it is today. But in my opinion its time to stop wishing and hoping for things that just aren't in the cards with this particular piece of hardware.
[XPERIA X10 General] soldiers33:
did you come here just to complain? atleast they are making something and wasting thier time for us stop moaning and if your unhappy then dont flash the roms otherwise be happy with what you get.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
These kind of bugs are always reported about OFFICIAL ROMs also :) Just read every thread after every update from SE etc :)

I'm using [MOD][rendeiro2005]Cyanogen6.1.3_v01 (CM-updated) for many weeks now for my daily use... Working awesome... Camera works, just video-recording doesn't work properly... This is the only issue... ROM works like a charm :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Hobbes2099:
The FreeX10 (beta4) is still 2.2.1 (I'm using it as we speak, very stable, I can't complain). The only 2.3 ROM I've seen discussed for the SE Xperia x10 is Cyanogen CM7.0 RC1 v005 Gingerbread 2.3.3, which --based on current thread discussion, I haven't tried it myself-- appears to be very unstable at this time.

If there's another 2.3 ROM for the X10 circulating the forums, I haven't seen it. Then again, I haven't really looked through the entire thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] backtobasics:
great

I like what this was supposed to become but not what it s actually.

I'm also a new x10 user, I come from htc desire (z). and I was happy to see that it was far more easy to root the x10i and remove the root when the phone has to go for reparation.

It was not my intention to come and play with different roms, but deu to a wrong installation of a theme I had to instal a custom rom. Now, I like the stock X10 interface. so I'm looking for roms who runs better as the stock rom but look more or less the same...

any suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 General] kxhawkins:
Not true. I don't have those issues, and neither does Eternity, Blue Sparks, etc.

I think this is a good idea, but in practice would fail. There are FAR too few "fully functional" ROMs to warrant a separate forum. Maybe we should just start using [STABLE] tags or something.

There would seriously be like 5 legit posts in that forum, and then it would get filled up with crap till it's unusable.
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
for u, i think the stock rom and the JIT mod will do it for u if u like the stock rom =)
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
I do indeed like the stock rom. I have never had an issue and the latest updates have solved any issues I had with the phone. The fantastic developers though have created some fantastic 2.1 rom-mods that use all features of this device. In my eyes that is a Fully Working Rom.....

I am sure everyone would agree a fully working rom is one that uses all hardware on the device just like stock? Surely that is the end goal for every development thread...To achieve stock or better?
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
If in reference to my comments then off course not. I am not complaining. I am offering a constructive viewpoint.

Any developer who cannot take constructive criticism should not be developing as in such cases the "market" becomes full of inferior products.

We are consumers when we delve into development to click download. The developers are not wasting there time. They are following there passion, learning,experimenting to bigger and more challenging things. Some make money, granted not enough in my book though I do recall funds totalling nearly 1000 dollars in one thread that is still to this day uncompleted.

I would much prefer to click into a Fully working rom shop and purchase my desired rom.

That does not mean the development thread is worthless, nothing could be further from the truth.....
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
+1 I agree. Doesn't defining something as "stable" imply that there's something unstable about it? I don't see how someone can complain about the stock SE ROM and then be OK with or even endorse any partially working ROM.

I've tried a few custom ROMS, including currently beta4 2.2, but I haven't found one that I prefer over stock 2.1 with JIT enabled, junk apps removed, and a few build.prop tweaks. No offense to the awesome developers, because their hands are tied without the bootloader cracked. I do have high hopes for T's highly anticipated 2.3 TripNArc ROM to be fully functional. If that's going to be a lot longer than he originally thought, I will be going back to my optimized 2.1.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
This statement makes absolutely no sense... Have you taken chemistry? If so, you would understand why...
[XPERIA X10 General] tdiddy1987:
some people on this forum need to stop diving into attack mod when someone makes a comment

if someone has an opinion, state yours as a reply, not an attack...especially when they say so peacefully and extend their respect to the people they are critiqueing

in response to the original post, which i find in this forum almost always gets lost about 3-5 posts in, i think a fully stable rom section would be a great idea, but in my experience (which is fair at best) i have also noticed an unfortunate truth, that the only 100% fully hardware and software functionally stable ROM is the stock one, so it would pretty much contain a link to SEUS and PC companion

unfortunatly

and just to protect myself from what im sure will be a barrage of bashing, the devs here are not to blame, their efforts are much appreciated and respected.

my phone wouldnt be the same without them, and i have and will continue to thank them for there work

i push the optimized stock, 2.1, root, jit, cleaned, launcherpro, buildprop edited, link2sd... everything runs perfectely all the time
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Dude, do you just follow me around? You know what I meant. Last I checked this isn't chemistry nor are the devs or majority of xda members chemists, but ok, I'll play...

Yes, I took Chemistry in 10th grade. By using the chemistry definition of stable YOU have basically validated my statement. The relationship between stable and unstable couldn't be stronger or more relevant than in chemical reactions. It doesn't take a chemistry major to understand that when something is being manipulated into being in the state or condition of "stable" that the alternative state or condition "unstable" has to exist. Otherwise, why call it stable?

Hand someone a compound of chemicals and then say "It's missing a few ingredients, but don't worry, it's stable", and I bet the first thing they ask is, "What do you mean stable? It's not going to blow up in my face is it?"

I'm pretty sure we're not in danger of these ROMs altering their chemical compounds or changing their atomic property into an HTC Desire, which is basically the chemistry definition of stable/unstable, but if you were trying to say that something can't be stable and unstable at the same time, I totally agree. However, that means once again you have twisted my words.

@ tdiddy, Don't know if that was for my benefit but thanks. Everywhere I go this guy is nitpicking anyone who has issues with a custom ROM or praises the stock ROM. You'd think he was t, j or z.
[XPERIA X10 General] backtobasics:

[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
1. Of course ANY pseudo 2.1 rom is finished. There NOT roms. there`s MOD`s. Period.

Just need a little knowlage of port some things and use xRecovery.

2. You will NEVER had a finish rom (i mean real rom) of 2.2 or 2.3 while the bootloader isn`t cracked. Period.
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
noob question: does a cracked bootloader imply we won't get driver issues in custom roms again?
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
if you get bootloadder cracked you where able to do/install/mod/upgrade, etc the way you want to.

about drivers issue, well...that depends on dev himself lol
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
This was what you said, not that the state of unstable must also exist, but that something being defined as stable has to have something unstable about it (which is 100% illogical)...

Something cannot be both stable and unstable at the same time.

You seem to be the one who has issues with anyone using roms that aren't based upon stock, just making sure that people see through moronic statements like the above, and that it doesn't give them misinformation....
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Thanks for the replys guys/girls

I can see that this topic is obviously not knew and many have different view points on something I regard as heads or tails...IE. It is either fully working or not..

Again I fully appreciate that without the bootloader then future android ports are perhaps worthless against this topic.

Thank you to the wonderful developers who have given my phone the feel it should have had out of the box.

Hopefully one day I may see A Fully Complete Rom Section on XDA. It would certainly receive my backing and cash.

I still believe it would clear up that section of the site and be of financial and emotional benefit to the developers.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
You obviously cannot read. I said something can't be stable and unstable at the same time, but by labeling something stable implies it also has/had unstable properties. In this case, it doesn't have access to the kernel so the camcorder doesn't work. That is what I was referring to as "having something unstable about it", which is true not misinformation. That was my point. It was more of a play on words than a stab at the laws of physics.

Keep up the name calling and rude posts. It really suits you. Anyone can pretend to be a tough guy on the Internet.
[XPERIA X10 General] kxhawkins:
"Stable" was just a suggestion. It could be [BANANA] for all I care. Again though, there are plenty of 2.1 ROMs that don't have camera issues, etc, JBM. So it doesn't really matter about the bootloader, it's still a stable ROM.
[XPERIA X10 General] Prosafe:
Wolfbreaks 2.21 is ok for dayly use i guess but i need a fully functionaly

phone so for now i stick with 2.1 mods currently on Bluesparks 5

that does all i need just cant watch prn flash movies lol :)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I get that. I was really making a play on words. I just think the word "stable" brings up some negative connotations in my mind. It's not all that positive of a word if you are trying to sell someone on something. I wasn't trying to be scientific. Which I guess doesn't fly well in the techie world. So sorry, didn't mean to offend.

If I described a girl's personality that I was trying to set you up on a date with as "stable", wouldn't your mind automatically ask "Stable, why did he use the word stable? Did she used to be unstable? Is she on medication?" That was my point, but I guess it went right over fiscidtox's head.

PMSL.....very good point
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lactardjosh:
After searching forums, it seems that the only way to disable geotagging photos is to disable both Wireless and GPS location services under Location and Security.

This is really inconvenient to have to do before every use of the camera. I like having the location settings turned on for Maps and whatnot. Besides, I'd forget to turn it back on, if I remember to turn it off in the first place, because I'm easily distracted by shiny objects.

Does anyone have any idea if it would be possible to use Tasker to disable location services when the camera is running and then enable them again when exiting the camera?

I don't have Tasker and I don't have any experience with it. While I've been toying with the idea of buying it for some other things, I thought someone with Tasker experience may be able to answer this before I go out and buy it. I know there is a 7 day trial version on the Tasker website, so I could also give that a shot, I suppose.

UPDATE: I'm not bothering with this anymore since I found the modded camera.apk over in the Fascinate forum. This specific issue is resolved as far as I'm concerned.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949566

I would, however, be interested in figuring out if Tasker would be able to activate/deactivate location services directly. I would use it for other applications. I may dig into it again some other time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnorwood:
I was wondering this as well, a little frustrated we can't turn it off I'm the camera settings...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lactardjosh:
Installed Tasker, but it will only take you to the Location and Security menu to change the location services. It doesn't actually enable/disable them. There is no variable in the menu to use.

Toggling Airplane mode on and off doesn't work either. This doesn't really make sense, but I guess it uses the last known location to tag the photo.

I also downloaded Locale Execute, so maybe I can find a root command to do it. That's a stretch for me, though.

If anyone can provide some help or guidance, it'd be appreciated greatly.

Working great for me.

Since I'm rooted, I followed the APK version installation rules.

Backed up using Titanium Backup first.

Used Root Explorer to move the apk to the system/apps folder.

Moved camera.odex to the sdcard and renamed it camera.odex.old for safekeeping.

Cleared the Dalvik cache with Titanium Backup.

Rebooted the phone.

Everything seems to be working fine.

Enabled location services again under Location and Security.

Unchecked GPS in the camera menu settings (under the wrench tab).

No geotagging on photos.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorQMM:
no option to store images on external sd with Fascinate camera.apk

I installed this modded camera.apk as well; however, this file was specifically developed for a Fascinate... not Captivate. Besides the "flash" options (which don't apply to Captivate) the real issue for me is the inability to direct pictures/videos directly to external SD. The Captivate has both the internal sd and (optional) external SD cards. This mod was built from the Fascinate which only has the external removable sd. I exchanged a few PMs with Developer and he recommends finding a Captivate developer to mod the Captivate camera using the pointers from the Fascinate camera mods. This Fascinate camera work great on my Captivate I897.. if only it had the ability to store images on external SD. It has ability to turn off GPS geo-tagging from the app... power-button works as camera shutter for BOTH camera and video... very clean app.

I can't seem to download anything from any mirror sites. Anybody know a workaround????
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
Downloads sometimes in both the default browser and in Dolphin Browser do not work for me as well. It's fairly frequent. Seems strange to me it's in both browsers, hints at a OS issue.

Personally, I think the browser is nice but extremely buggy. not ready for prime time, really.

Outside of DL on my phone or PC and transferring, I have not found a workaround on the tablet itself.

[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
EVO 2 and WiMax are on hold right now, with Sprint's ongoing saga with Clearwire. It's at a point where they are thinking of going complete LTE, and just move away from Clearwire/WiMax. Clear could avoid this death wish, by using Sprint's Network Vision and calling it a day. Both companies will make an substantial amount of money, and your 3G speeds will be back to normal.

The only way the EVO 2 debuts at CTIA, is if HTC/Sprint rehash the Inspire 4G/Thunderbolt/Desire Z for Sprint, and call it the EVO 2. It won't be close to the actual original EVO 2 designs(Sabor wasn't either), but to appease the public, that is what may happen. By the way, HTC/Sprint's love child has been in the works a year and a half before Engadget leaked the news. "Supersonic" wasn't even the original codename for the device. News did leaked months before the device dropped, but that info was late too.
