[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
I use a lot of different roms and just keep backups of anything i like. Heres my overview of some i use regularly.

2.1 EW Jet by erickwill: nicely modded with the super circle battery and bloatware removed. Everything works, no FCs but some apps that most ppl use have been removed (easy enough to reinstall but its a hassle ex. SE email and browser)

FreeX10 by Z: quick and clean but the theme is kinda blocky and ugly. Market FCs are an issue, especially after restoring from backups. Missing the camera functionalities like all froyo roms.

CM 6.1.3 by rendeiro2005: froyo rom with CM settings added and a more appealing theme than FreeX10. Sometimes has random hangups and reboots but not enough to detract from the overall perspective. Everything that should work does, fast and smooth with good quad scores. This is one i keep going back to.

I have yet to try wolfbreaks roms but after seeing all the good feedback here i think i might. Ive also tried MIUI but the base theme is horrendous (i know the point is to customize it but Id rather not waste all that time just to change the look) didnt use it long enough to talk about its performance.

Its easy enough to just switch around if you keep good backups so try em all and see what suits you.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Glacious:
From what I have read in the dozens of pages of thread dedicated to custom roms, 2 stand out as the most reliable, bug free and often updated to correct issues that are found out.

Android Froyo 2.2 best implementation seems to be in Wolbreak's [ROM] CM 6.1.3 V4.3 [06-03-11] [Tweaked+Theme+Extras]. It's pretty much the only custom ROM that has a usable camera both for taking pictures and as well as recording video (through 3rd party app though).

Android 2.3 best implementation looks to be found in jerpelea's Cyanogen CM7.0 RC2 v009 Gingerbread 2.3.3. It is still a work in progress, but it is fast progress and bugs are addressed rather quickly. Though it has no working camera, we hope that it will change soon.

Actually you will notice that the hardest to solve issue is making the camera work in custom roms, all the others are simpler to deal with.

There are other roms, some based on ARC software, some done by other coders. The trouble with those based on ARC is that they are very new and plagued of bugs. The roms done by other coders... well, I don't like the lack of order and discipline in their post presenting the rom so I doubt their product is done carefully, well structured and seriously tested. I would suggest you to try only roms that have extensive backgrounds of testing and updating behind them because no rom is perfect from the first try.

Bump so I don't have to start a new thread.

The last post was on March, so things could have changed now. So at this point of time (2nd June 2011), what's the best ROM for Xperia X10 for speed and battery saving?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saad.abrar:
i'd recommend

for froyo (2.2)

1) wolfbreak's cm6

2) ultima

for gingerbread (2.3.x)

1) cm7.03 by j

But i am currently using ultima..i found it to be the fastest and the smoothest..:D

click on thanks if this helps..:p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMeister234:
I couldn't get cm7.03 to last more than 8-12 hrs (Google Maps and Gallery were both burning battery life, although they should be well behaved).

I've dropped back to Froyo 2.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947613) because I can usually get 1-2 days before the battery gives out (and it has Adobe Flash).

Camera works with all with Camera Illusion and Video Illusion, although only at 640x480 for the camcorder, 850x480 with the camera :(

I think anything from cobrato or atochjan (did I write it correctly) is good... did try wolfbreak's 8.1 and it is great, too. It the end Hzu is right, the rom that works best for you, is the best, in my case I'm divided between the arc'd, iphone'd and cm'd, once the GB port is ready by the dreaded Sowait Ericsstooge guys, I'm sure the ROM's for these will be as good as (most definitely better) the SE's official one!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikinho10:
My favourite ROM at the Moment is [ROM] FreeXperia Achotjan | AOSP_2.2.3_v001 | Clean | GB Features | 18/07/2011 from Achotjan. This ROM is very smooth! I´ve installed the zkernel 20072011, its incredibly fast :D

Before i changed the ROM, i used TriPNMiUi 1.7.3 with FreeKernel 3.60.

this rom I can also recommend!:)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohsaka:
I'm coming from the G1. You could run "cat /proc/mtd" to get the layout of the internal storage device.

It looks to me like the glacier is using /dev/block/mmcblk0 for internal, and mmcblk1 for the sdcard.

'fdisk -l' shows 60 partitions on mmcblk0... Is that even correct? Can someone give me the quick explanation of the how the Glacier is handling its internal storage device?

Thanks

(and I did try search first)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macheteZen:
You are correct mmcblk0 is internal and mmcblk1 is the sd. I discovered this when creating an ext partition, it seems that a2sd scripts rarely support it by default (a la g2). Also, clockwork doesnt seem to properly support sdext dalvik clearing, which is specifically a complication for regular ROM flashers.

I'm not sure about the exact number of partitions on the RAM/Internal storage blk.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chukis13:
I sure hope so! Used it regularly on my g1
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohsaka:
Looking into it...

It appears to be a complete rewrite at this point if I want it to actually be writing zeros to the disk at a low level. The statically linked 'erase_image' executable uses the /proc/mtd file to get the partition boundaries and that file is now blank.

I could probably toss together a script that will run "rm -rf" on all the mounts, but I assume anyone with 10 spare minutes can do that...

I will just need to do some more research into how the Glacier is setup. Unfortunately (for you guys) my baby is able to crawl now, so when I'm home I spend alot of free time chasing her around and keeping her out of the cats' drinking fountain. :)

[EVO 4G General] RobOgilvie:
Hi,

I'm a little bit late to the game. :-)

I've just tried loading the 3.70 patch to my unrevoked Evo and it is failing. It downloads, reboots, I get a progress bar that makes it about a quarter of the way through, and I get the android guy with the triangle of doom.

I pull my battery and am up and running again, but still with that patch to push.

Any thoughts?

Rob
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
When you say 3.70 patch do you mean the OTA? If so you can't do that. It will not install if you have a custom recovery, which unrevoked installs. It also won't work if you've deleted any stock apps. The easiest option would be to just flash a custom ROM that is based off the current OTA, which is most of them.
[EVO 4G General] RobOgilvie:
That seems counter to what I've heard before, and what happened with the last OTA.

Yes, this is the OTA I'm wanting to get applied.

GoodAndEvo seems to imply it can accept it just fine?

I'm really not a huge fan of the stock rom and am thinking about going the Cynogen route (I don't use Sense), but am wary of losing all of my configuration, text messages (backed up to gmail), etc.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Well what you are reading is either incorrect or you are misinterpreting it. Even unrevokeds website says you need to reflash a stock recovery.

You will lose everything if you go to cyanogen. Just backup your apps and whatnot before hand to make it as painless as possible.
[EVO 4G General] RobOgilvie:
You mean I won't lose everything if I do the backup/restore route, right? :-)
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Well you will have to redo your system settings because you cant restore them across ROMs but everything else can be backed up and restored.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netpa:
I've always had horrible timing with things. I finally got the guts to root and get SuperClean 2.8 onto my phone, and the next day 2.9 is out. Awesome. XD

Anyways, for the question. How do I go about flashing 2.9 over my current 2.8? Do I do it through ODIN, or can I put it on my SD card and install updates through recovery? And I know there was an issue with flashing 2.8 straight over 2.7, does anyone know if there's a similar problem with this one? A step-by-step would be great, but if not then pointing me in the right direction would be awesome.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataranine:
I flashed 2.9 over 2.8 through the recovery, no problem. No wiping or anything...it did get rid of some other things I had flashed but I simply went back into recovery and re-flashed all my stuff like the MIUI music app and Windows Phone notifications, etc.

Everything should be fine.

Just download the zip from the thread, boot into recovery, and choose install zip from SD card.

Oh and be prepared to be freaked out when your phone starts talking to you on its first boot.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitti28:
I flashed 2.9 over 2.8 through the recovery, no problems to report so far. I didnt wipe data but i did wipe cache 3 times and davlik 3 times before i flashed SC2.9 zip.

Might not have to do that but so far i have followed this rule that i was told a few weeks back and so far no issues.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netpa:
Will it still say "install update.zip", or should it say the actual name of the SC2.9 zip file? Because mine says update.zip, so I'm assuming something is missing >.>
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netpa:
Also, I'm not seeing where to wipe dalvik cache...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bltl211:
To install SC 2.9 you just need to place it on your sd card. Boot into recovery (wipe cache) and install zip from sd.

To wipe dalvik cache you need to go into the advanced setting in recovery.

[Nook Color General] capnblackleg:
installed easyadb, drivers seem fine but when I type "adb devices" I get nothing under devices listed. I've read a bunch and tried several different things concerning usb debugging and different drivers, nothing seems to be working.

Thanks.

EDIT - It finally connected but I have no idea why. Is there anything I can do to make this less of a PITA?
[Nook Color General] loupnook:
here is what worked for me

Had the same issue on windows 7.

Took days for me to figure this out.

Clue was one time when i connected the nook, the add hardware popup reported an error. I looked at the details, which by the way, showed up behind my other windows. It stated that B & N Nook Color..., USB Mass... and USB Composite... installed correctly, but a device named NookColor did not.

So the fix i figured out was to open the android_winusb.inf file in the C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver folder and add

;

;NookColor

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0002&MI_01

;

under the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections.

Note: I don't believe that the lines with the single ; mean anything other then to make the file more readible. you should make every effort to keep the file neat, orderly and easy to read though. You should be able to figure out the simple patern in the ini file.

Make sure that you have the .android folder and adb_usb.ini file with the 0x2080 contents in your user directory. (easily found in windows explorer and adding it is detailed in almost all instructions to get ADB set up)

Next step was to connect the nook via usb if not connected. Delete all of the devices with HW id which have the first value of USB\VID_2030&PID_002&REV_0216&MI_00. There could be 1 to 3 listed as USB Composite Device, USB Mass Storage Device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, and Android Coposit ADB Interface under Adroid Phone.

I ran adb kill-server from the cmd line at this point. this is a good trick if at any point your having a problem replacing or editing anything in the .android folder.

Unplug the nook usb and (i like to wait a few seconds) plug it back in. windows should start to reconize and add the device.

when windows is finished being windows, you can check if this succeded by runing adb devices from the cmd line. If it is successful your device serial number should be listed.

If not successful delete all of the devices mentioned above from device manager. unplug the nook and reboot. When windows finishes booting up, try to plug in the nook again.

If that doesn't work I suggest deleting the any of the 3 devices from device manager again, check that the .android folder is there and contents are correct, make sure the android_winusb.inf has the changes recommended above, disconnect nook, reboot and plug in nook again. As this is windows, rebooting often isn't a bad idea either.

Hope this helps the weary Nook HC nobe as i am one. Keep pluging away.

Also if you get this working check out the root forum. I'm still trying to figure the fax speak out myself but it looks like the next step.

[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
After you make all those device edits, do you always get adb or can you turn off debugging in nook color tools and get the usb mode for regular transfers?
[Nook Color General] loupnook:
Just Tested

I think your asking can you browse the nook HC folders from a PC the same way you can browse BN media folder when you connect the usb, so for instance you can drag and drop files onto your nook HC. i'm assuming your dual booting eggclair and HC.

My goal for getting adb working was to get su, which i got here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953110 with a bit of trouble but seems to work, so that i could drag items from my pc onto HC. I'm using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952456 to mount the media directory. I now seem to have su installed and the USM app is working. i only see my BN media directory from my pc now (yay) but i can't browse that directory from my nook HC (boo). So i can't share files between eggclair and HC. I'm a noob to nook and newbe to linux, so i'm assuming it is a permissions issue but don't have enough knowledge on how to change them yet.

I did just test if i could use the same drivers to connect the rooted BN eclair and still access the drive from my pc and was successful. remember you have to unlock the BN eclair to access the drives.

ADB doesn't block access to the drives. you don't need to turn it off. HC v4 just doesn't have the right stuff yet to allow the mount. my guess is that it is mostly a linux filesystem, i'm guessing the media directory is a fat or windows filesystem and that is why you can mount and use from a PC.

i assume that if you just have rooted eggclair this ADB settup method should work, and it should still allow access to the BN media directory from your PC.
[Nook Color General] spike095:
If that still doesn't work for you, I got mine to work under Win7x64 by removing everything with that VID in device manager and using the USB cable from my Evo. The Nook one had serious issues getting the composite ADB device.
