Complete "Best of Roms" for xperia out yet? :P

Hi, it's just so manny posts about all Roms out there. Which one should I pick for best results? I want it to be the fastest *doh*.
anyhow, do you guys recommend me to install a new cab, since I am using the new firmware(or what's it called) that SE released earlier this year. Don't know what to call it. That one, and alot of panels and tweaks. It feels like my xperia is "too much random applications-installed" right now, and I'd like a new fresh one with everything pre-installed. No overflod of unnessesary appz.
But with all the good out there, yet released. Such as all the Panels and great appz of course.
So, which panel do you recommend and why? (Fast and with alot of pre-installed stuff, settings and tweaks..)
Thx all for a wonderful oppertunity to fix the Xperia, since SE don't want to =)
(edit: Swedish rom would be nice)

I've tried a lot of the roms on here and i'd say the current best are either:
norti's nX1i v1.02 [LiteSpeed][UC][WWE/SPA/GER][R2A] - Best lite build with no TouchFLO and good UC pack.
itje's [WWE] Touch-IT v4.0 "Landscape" RC1.1 - TouchFLO lots included in build but no UC.
However once you know how to flash your phone it's worth trying out a few and seeing which you like best.

okej, thanks for the advice! I've read a bit about flashing the phone. Just to be clear, everyting on it dissapear right? (contact and such) Maybe I can just make a backup =) (any good backup sync appz, or just the orginal SE?)

download ppcpimbackup... do a search... itll backup sms/contact/appoiintments etc

btw, what's UC?
Tried the secound one you recommended, TouchIT. Sure, it's nice but damn slow.. :/ and no tweaks!

i think that jack 2.6 the best is.... totally bug free (except the known limitation on HD camera and TF3D 2) fast, stable, battery life is ok! youtube works, footprints works... tom tom works fine.. great rom!!

itje's [WWE] Touch-IT v4.0 "Landscape" RC1.1
Nothing Better for x1 developed yet...

UC = User Customization. It's a program that automaticaly installs progams / copies files when you first boot the new rom. You can tell it what to install etc by editing the config file.
Touch-IT v4.0 B3 was one of the best TouchFLO impementations i've tried but a little slow running panels. I also tried an older version of Jacks Rom but had a few crashes and found some apps needed registering.
I prefer to use the sbp panel rather than TouchFLO so I'm now using nX1i v1.02 [LiteSpeed] which is a very lite ROM with UC that allows you to pick and choose what addtional stuff you want installing.
It's so easy to flash the rom using the SD card method its worth trying a few to see what you like. I found a few nice features on different roms then applied my favorite bits from all of them to nX1i v1.02 [LiteSpeed].

your right and it is fast and stable

I use Jack's V2.1 Light, great base ROM to start from if you don't like Touchflo! I've kept it pretty light, installed a few tweaks and added PointUI 2 (Black Theme with a custom X1 wallpaper, starting work on an X1 theme now). Runs like a dream!
Before that i was running the base cMEX ROM, but i changed when the new firmware came out (there was no Touchflo-free version of cMEX running that firmware at the time). Also tried itje's ROMs, but they're not really my cup of tea. Very complete and stable, but not as fast as what i'm running now.

I just tried the Lite-rom, didnt like it at all. Going back to TouchIT. it's a shame that none of above recommended has Swedish as a alternative
Thx all for comments! Still looking for the ultimate one!

Have you tried any of Xperia Xion by me, there are in swedish!

I think there is no best rom.
Everyone's work is perfect.
I used some of them,I like itje's best.
Although I think itje's is perfect,I can not say it's best...

My opinion too. Also iGO8 works well.

Any ROM with new manila v3 has many BUG Right??

What happen?

From my experience Dutty 2.1 Extreme is the best! You can fix all the bugs searching latest Dutty ROM thread.

No, I´m using Dutties Xtreme ROM V2.1 and there´s no bug - at least that cannot be solved. Give it a try, it´s much better than the old manila.

I don't know what happends the last three, four weeks, but not the ROMS are so bad or have so many bugs, but some people here do so!
I use Davideuck_V-2_HP and therefore Dutty's HD V2.1 XTREM. There are some few things which are not perfect, but all standard(!) functions are working, the roms are stable and I will say mostly bug-free. Much better then the stock ROMs.
So, what happends?

I'm still looking for a "bug-free" ROM with the new manila.
Davideuck_V-2 is a good ROM, but not perfect. here are some very annoying bugs :
1. Youtube app lags
2. Inside 'People Tab', in case you have a person with 2 numbers (mobile + work), try tapping the 'Work' button and you'll find out that it will call to the
mobile instead.
3. You can send files via Bluetooth, but you can't receive.
4. Can't view attachments in SMS. if someone send you a picture in SMS/MMS you can see the attachment icon but you can't view it.
If you know a ROM with the new manila without these bugs i will flash it right now.

maybe sound just silly but have you enable beam GoldCoin?i 'm running on david's v2 ans i can send and receive bt files.

There are 2 things you are talking about. You need be very clear on what you want.
Lately there are 2 knids of ROMs that are being cooked.
One With Topaz
One With Rohdium.
If you just need a ROM with the new Manila... go for the Topaz ROM.
Based on my experience... the David's V2 ROM with Topaz is almost bug free... except for the YouTube lag. Only in David's Tpoaz ROM I have seen the FaceBook integration working perfectly. Not in Dutty's...
Dutty's 2.1 is also pertty good except the FB integratio does not work.
The Bugs you have pointed out with the people tab calling only one number.. is an issue with Rohdium ROM not the Topaz one.
According to me.. The Rohdium ROM is the one with most of the BUGs... not the Topaz (David's is 99% perfect).

still all beta stuff anyway so hey, that's what we have

Thanks for sharing this information with me. 'Davideuck's Rohdium' is the first
ROM i have ever flashed since i got my HD, and in fact this is the only cooked ROM i've used so far.
About FB integration - i don't really need this. Here are few "must" features
for me on a ROM :
No mp4/youtube playback problems - watching videos on my blackstone is one of the reasons i bought it.
ICR - the ability to record calls with no problems. worked great on Rohdium.
New manila V3 - i just love the TF3d.
GPS - using it alot and can't afford problems with this feature.
New Start Menu - just like in Rohdium.
Also i need basic phone features to work well. SMS, MMS, No white images
when a caller doesn't have an image (some says Topaz has this problem) and
so on..

New Manila
I'm still looking for a "bug-free" ROM with the new manila.

If Rohdium is a must for you... (The New Start menu is only possible with Rohdium. You have to wait until some one figures out how to have these things working. I am sure Davide will fix the YouTube lag.)
Dutty's latest ROM (V2.1) is a Topaz built, No new start menu. If not everything elase works perfect.

how do you use FB intergration?please tell me

facebook can be added to rhodium, im still looking into it and im probably bout 80% through sorting it out, to add it use m9editor find settings.xml file from the _manilla files in both topaz and rhodium and compare the differences' youll notice a section completely missing from rhodium to do with people updates, add missing lines to rhodium settings.xml and upload the changed file,(there is also a few other diffrences im looking into)
This doesnt get it 100% working but i now have the facebook options and still testing other files that may be different or missing, i just run out of time last night
The manilla settings file is 26948339_manila, if anyones intrested ill upload my changes for them
there is also some files missing/different that need to be sorted through

if you know so much about it please tell me how you do this integration?

Its not that i know so much about it, i just spent time examining the files available to me, and worked it out anyone is capable of doing it, all the information is there,
Ive had this phone for a bit more then a month and started using the kitchens about a week ago, so as i said its not really about me knowing so much, just a matter of taking the time to work it out,
depending on what source your getting the files from you will have different experience, Heres wat i know.
26948339_manila (i think in m9editor this shows as manila.xml not settings.xml)
100% rhodium oem package (what i was working with) is missing quite a few lines of code which i metioned in my above post, you need to add those into the file and also make sure they havent been disabled.
but i had a look in some of the released roms n it seems atleast on davide's v2 rom the the info is in the file, it has just been disabled look for the <!-- at the beggining of the line remove it and also the closing --> then the line is no longer disabled
Files
Some files are missing from the oem package and also from some of the chefs roms but you can get them from the topaz oems floating around.
All this is from memory i finish work in 45 minutes then back to work on the phone so if i get time ill up the files for you and all you have to do is copy them into your windows folder

[ROM][WWE]Rhodium_AF|Sense 2.5 2013|

Hi guys and gals,
Due to some recent events on the XDA private forums, i´ve decided to stop the support of my roms here, all my support will be done elsewhere.
i´ll still be here, as always, , and it has been great to know some great people here, you know who you are, too many to mention!
Thx for all your support.

For those that have supported me, i thank them, it´s because of them that these roms exists. ​
Current bugs:

Me and At0m are friends.

it looks good, gonna try this in a mintue, you and Miri have made it hard to choose between you...
out of wodner which one uses the newest 6.5? no that it matters to much, just want the most stable...

I'm guessing the small ammounts of posts here show that the ROM is pretty stable and bug free at the moment?
Has anyone flashed this ROM to a T-Mobile Touch Pro2 with no issues? (sms/mms/gps/data etc all work?)

could U post another mirror to this rom (zshare, sendspace etc.)
thanx in advance

Also, ark66 I have some server space available if you would like a US mirror for your roms. PM me if you are interested.

Bug
The lock screen does not work correctly, if you lock the device by holding down the end call button, you get the slider at the top to unlock but a big black block at the bottom were the clock should be.

This Rom has one of the nicest startups!!!!
But fails on removing Setting which has less controls over items exist,
Rest is fine TOMTOM and memory-map works fast, Solid graphics, Well build look lives nothing for end user to dig in and change. It could be good news,
Thanks for the Rom

I believe that's how the lock screen is supposed to behave on newer builds of 6.5.

[01.02.10] Touch-IT BT - manila 2.5.20113030 - Discontinued at xda

Touch-IT Black Topaz​
I am removing my roms due to conflicts with certain members at xda, this looks like it cant be solved in normal ways. And because I do not want anymore of the bickering and fighting, I am pulling my work from XDA and all support is moved to you know where. I cant even mention that name anymore here.
Sorry to see this happen here, where I have learned so much, and met so many wonderful ppl.

rom is now online
happy flashing

Sounds great. Are you going to release a german version of it? And can you tell me if the video playback on HQ YouTube videos is laggy or something? I guess you are using the X2 video driver?

new UI, wonderful
will give it a try
thx for that

Thanks, i will install it and give some feedback

Flasing as we speak, will report back!
Thanks for the rom!

Thank you

[doublepost]

Just an early impression (played for a few hours); but so far WM6.5 and Manilla 2.5 seem to be very smooth. (alot faster then the NRG rom i tried before this one)
I also like the decision to use Opera 9* instead of 10Beta, since 9 is alot less annoying at times. (@ 10B i cannot seem to see whether i pressed a link or not)
However, why did you leave out HTC's Wifi share and the percentual battery meter?
Also, im not sure if Opera Mini is liking Jblend much, it seemed to bug the animations/screen changes after loading a few pages.
(for others, look in HKCU-Software-Jblend of the register, to make Jblend fullscreen)
That aside, i love it, great job for this lag-free Manilla 2.5 experience .

Very good Rom. I used it for the last few hours and there is no major bug to find. The only thing that Wifi on/off doesnt work over the Comm Manager but it works fine with the system settings.
Youtube fast is in High definition !!!
Yeah and my Battery is still at 100%?!

Touch-IT Black Topaz​
Some info:
Some difference in the manila is: No doc tab and no footprints. (probably can be added in future releases)
Also, this is manila 2.5 buildt for Topaz, witch has a smaller cpu. This means that speed has been improved, and weather animations are faster by default.
If you feel some features misses from my BL (leo based) that is natural, as this is all based from the topaz
-Os build 24001
-Office 2010
-Sense 2.5.20113030.0 with landscape support
-X-Task cooked in (Go here for support on X-Task)

-New speed improvements
-Reg cleaning

After successful completion of installing process, I reboot device and it won't go forward but stick on date and time window. I can't change the date, I am able to change time but date won't even able to click.
Did hard reset twice, after and twice before flashing the room, same odd situation, I lost all my previous data etc and now even can't install this room. Going to download any other room and gonna flash, meanwhile, if some one can give me quick advise. Thanks

Can't believe I'm currently running a Xperia X1. I have both xperia and omnia i900 and I switched to omnia since Xperia was really slow with each ROM I tried but this build and the new version of manila are just outstanding. Spanish cookers have a lot to learn from you people yet...

Your ROMS are good mate but occasionally every now and then manila crashes, also my X1 hangs every morning when kept on overnight charging. These bugs are applicable only on manila. Other interfaces like titanium and spbshell work fine.

I liked the rom .. it's fast and stable .. one of the best actually
happy to see touch-it with 3g dailer and task manger.
I just miss the footprints tab as well as the circular start/x buttons down the screen like in the newer OS builds .. (many ppl prefer it at the top though)
but otherwise .. the rom is great.

can u use the vol keys？ when i press the volume key no vol can be adjusted？

Can enyone report are there SOD-s with this ROM?

Lol I need to stop flashing roms before my phone explodes. Its the fastest thing I have ever used, really responsive and love that the dialer and everything works just as well in landscape. I have also found the vol rocker works to navigate up/down instead of the volume, dunno if this is a glitch or a feature?
I seem to have stopped getting SODs with the latest few roms, not sure why but Im not complaining. Just get the occasional freeze for a couple of seconds with this rom.
Overall an awesome rom, just not for me. The 24001+ is a must for me, love having the clock in the toolbar and the big mashable buttons. It would be awesome to see a superfast stable rom from you with 24001 and the latest manilla with the reader tab, gonna flash back to Touch-it BT my favourite so far.
Thanks for all your work itje, keep it up!

hi Itje, I have bin playing with my phone this morning and I found only 3 problems!
1st: Volume keys are not working (I solved this by installing Brian's Taskbar v5)
2nd: FM Radio doesn't work (also problem in earlyer rom) I instal HTC TouchHD FM Radio.cab to solve this.
3th: when reading email in sense in landscape the phone hangs when you slide down the keyboard.
This is really the best rom i've ever used! you've surpassed yourself!!
Keep up great work!!!
Thank you very very much for this rom!!!!
