Hi there.
I'm new here and new to the Android platform aswell. I recently bought a Galaxy Mini GT-5570B. I run Gingerbread 2.3.4 on a stock rom (JJKQ5). I just rooted it using this guide: (THANKS!!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576202
Now, I'm looking to apply a ROM. I want the most stable one, which has only the very basic stuff. I want my phone to run as fast as possible with at least bugs or crashes. After reading a bit, I found out (correct me if I'm wrong) that CM7 is the best one to suit me.
However, I still don't know which to apply!
I found 3 topics that I think are the best, but I still don't know which of them is stable or the fastest.

Please, help me pick one or suggest another one you find working good.
Also, a very simple guide to apply it would be cool
As far as I understand, all I need to do is install ClockworkMod and just boot into it and install from SD, just like I applied my root. Is this correct?
Sorry for these nab questions, I know you probably heard it a few times (Tried searching for a similar topic, couldn't find anything that satisfies me).
Thanks for any help!

Hi. Yeah the people who are longer active here have heard these question a lot. But everybody here was a beginner so thats no problem.
You did some search yourself so you have already read the most.
All you have to do is flash cwm via odin. There is an older one 4.0.0.5 or a newer 5.x.x.x. I recommend you the older one.
After that you can use cwm and install custom roms. There are plenty you can choose of. As I used a mini my favorite was the cyanogenmod from mebitek. Try the last version or the one before.
Good luck.

I recommend CyanogenMod 7. It's the best Custom ROM out there for Android.
Try the official one & nightly builds.
Very content about Chocobread. Stable, fast, compatible with adrenaline boost, builtin app2sd and the owner will release a completely new update to it in a few weeks probably.
Thanks for all the comments, I installed official CyanogenMod 7.2RC1 and I'm very happy with it!
for the best performance try this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1593047

Yes, that's my pick also, there are two builds from pure CM based on Mebitek's (The galaxymini and the nightly (I guess weekly now ;-) )
I installed the latest weekly on top of the Galaxymini (that hasn't been updated since march 18) using the deodexed version without wiping data and it's working great. You may try the odexed version for space and maybe bit more speed but believe me, this is the smoothest ROM I've tried (Used squadzone's, chocobread, emanon, more, etc.) but this one hasn't crashed a single time. I use Overclock to 729 + slaidyboost and WOW, great ROM. Battery is not that bad as it can last as much as stock (maybe even a bit more).

Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Hi, I'm quite new here and I'm overwhelmed by the quantity of roms in the developers section. Though I'd like to, I don't have time to try them all out... The only rom I tried and the one I'm currently using is a nightly build of some weeks ago of official CM7, I like it but there are some minor annoyances/bugs, so I'm waiting for first stable release to come out... but I'd like to know, what roms are you currently using that are most stable and appropriate for day to day use?
For example, is the CM9 unofficial faster/more stable than the one I'm using?
I'm also wandering, why not set up a monthly poll where you can vote which rom you're using? This way one could at least see the most popular roms and if he doesn't have a lot of time like me try out only those... Or something similar allready exists and I missed it?
Stock ROM. Install CF root kernel and use smartassv2 governor. It's stable and fast.

Try SGSII v9 for daily use.
IF the no preview camera is not a problem for u, then u can go for CM9
ITs fast and doesn't lag....

You should either use Adrenaline ROM XWKT7 by imbawind, which I must say is really fast and has lot of spacr to install apps as he removed alot. Based on stock ROM
Or
Use Apocalypse ROM by itasoulas which is based in CM 7.2 RC3 by vo-1.
It might have a few bugs, but you prob won't notice it. Is also really fast

i'm using lewa, beautiful n stable.. add the firekernel for longer battery life..
thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
as I thought, everyone has their own favorite, so I guess I'll have to choose 3 or 4 of the most popular ones and try out at least those...
what about the poll idea?
i use joyos with my modification...when i play game full can make battery dead in 6 hour..and if only listen music,social media like twitter can 2 hour (1 day = 6 hour i sleep so can 2 hour)
AFAIK
ROM's that you can consider for daily use is :
CM.7 by vo-1
LeWa
dont use any modified CM.7(LeWa is other thing) or stock based
modified CM.7 = confuse
Stock Based = lame
CM.7 official is lack some feature....well....its minor...but annoying
StockLite 7.1 and use Adrenine engine and set cpu to smartassv2 and sio

Well,it really does depend on your need.
For Eye-candy: CM9 if you don't care about camera preview and bugs
For perfomance: Any CM7/CM7 based rom
For stability and battery life: Stock rom
My preference: Stock based roms
Lewa : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506952
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360889
used both for more than a month, Lewa i think is a bit better!
The myth Or Apocalypse . Personally , i prefer apocalypse . Both roms are great though
So, I tried Lewa, and it seems nice, but not really my thing... Stocklite is amazingly responsive! That definitely seems good for everyday use, though I like some things of CM7 better (the app drawer and more customization in general). Will have to try out apocalypse.
BTW should I try a CM9 or ICS based rom, are there problems then going back to a CM7 or stock based one? I'm using Titanium Backup to restore apps
I would recomend apocalypse rom, very fast andy stable.
Good battery life due firekernel, and gets always updated by his dev., so it has very good support also.

I had say,No,but thats my opinion CM9 should be a bit more stable before a new user like you tries it out.
I think CM9 is the best, I use it
Well I'm using APOCALYPSE rom. Its fast and really stable. I'm a power user and I've gotten about 12hrs out this rom with slightly heavy use.
I've tried others but I've always returned to this rom. I love it. Tried CM9 but its too buggy still. Camera, GPS, battery issues keep it from being a daily driver. Well at least for the time being.

Hey x8 XDA'ers.
First of all, I'm sorry for asking this kind of question, but Please bear with me man.
I'm looking for a good STABLE rom with stable battery life, good performance etc, for my sister. She's tired of hers Xperia X8 since it feels slow and react so damn slow.
I'm a SGSII user myself, so I dont know nothing about X8, but I promised her to try and improve her phone's performance so I would be grateful if you could tell me which rom's I should take a look at. Since it is my sister he knows nothing about tech-related stuff, so the rom needs to be stable and good for daily usage, since if anything goes wrong she have no clue what to do
I know XDA hate questions like "what is the best rom etc..", but I'm just asking for your personal experiences with the different rom and what you would recommend for this kind of usage
Thank you XDA!
if she doesn't need a lot of features and she's okay with eclair, i'd say stick with stock. or go for any of the gingerbread roms. all of them work great especially gingerdx and minicm7. plus if you install a custom kernel and overclock it slightly, performance would improve drastically. and if you want to go for ics, try minicm9 or isdx. h
MiniCM7 + nAa kernel is the most stable Rom out there.
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
Well, if you want android 2.3 then choose between gingerDX or MiniCM7.
If android 4.0 then MiniCM9.
well, if its about your sister i can tell that she dont need high performance, but an improvement is nessecery.....and this rom must have and some beautiful icons?! am i wrong to somewhere?...no i am not!hahaha:laugh:
first to do, download x8toolbox(here), root, install busybox, install cwm, download gingerdx(here), put it in your sd card, reboot to cwm, full wipe-wipe dalvik, go to "install zip from sd", find the rom you download and wait until its finish, reboot, enjoy!
(i dont thing your sister needs a custom kernel, with this rom she will not have any problem and its a tone more awesome from eclair, so see will be happy)
this is all.
1. Pls use search next time.
2. Is the phone already rooted? Cwm installed? You may want to check our stickies for that.
3. I'm assuming your sis is on stock kernel (locked bootloader). If it's unlocked then that's a whole new ballgame.
Here are some you ay wanna check out:
1. Froyo roms are supposedly faster than gb roms (never tried though, so i can't elaborate on the features)
2. The really popular GingerDX. Smooth, fast, stable, and lots of features.
3. LinuxLx's LinuXperia. Cm 7.1. Great 2d/3d scores (dev is a girl so the appearance may be to your sister's liking)
4. Xperiafan's RCI V4. Haven't used it much but has good reviews.
Hope that helps.

First of all, thank you so much for all those fast answers! Thank you!!
#2
She mainly wants better reaction/performance but an upgrade to Gingerbread or ICS would be great as well. I don't know if it would be good for the performance or not tho.
Thanks, I think I will check out Gingerdx, isdx and miniCM9. I think I'll overclock abit, but I still want it to be 100% stable, how much can I overclock, without destroying the battery life and making it unstable?
#3
Thanks for your opinion, will take it into account.
#4
Uhm, #2 mentioned isdx, what do you say about that?
#5
Hah! yeah probably
afaik ICS has beautiful icons, but maybe gingerdx has as well?
As mentioned, I'd like to overclock abit to increase the performance, so I bet a custom kernel would be good. What would recommend?
and thanks for the quick tutorial, I do know how to root'n'flash tho, since I've done it a ton of time on several other devices
#6
Sorry, I tried to make a quick search in the x8 forums, but I couldnt find a thread about recommended roms for girls
Most ppl recommend GingerDX, so I will probably check that out as well as MiniCM9, since ICS would perhaps be great (If it is stable tho)
She isnt going to play games I can tell for sure, so 3d score doesnt matter I guess. But thanks, will check it out, since it is a girl-made ROM
Amazing fast answers, thanks man! I appreciate any feedback <3
Ics aint stable . I dont reccomand for daily use man. GingerDX or MiniCM7 are just perfect.

ok, first of all take out the battery andd look at the back sticker on the phone(on the phone!!!!!!!!), there will be a number like this 10wxx, 11wxx or 12wxx if it is 11w29+ just forget about unlocking bootloader,so you can not flash custom kernel, if it is 11w29- then look this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24630104&postcount=2 there you will find the links for guides about unlocking bootloader.
have fun!
If you unlock your bootloader and install a custom kernel (Alfs v8a CM7) I'd try GingerZaraki..
Best rom on this forum IMO..

Alfs because team GDX making Alfs kernel too!
MiniCm 7 With Hello Kitty CM7 THEME!
just try Kuyadroid
Kuyadroid is most stable rom,its on stock kernel so you dont need to unlock bootloader !! Its so easy to installing,just need rooted and xrecovery !!
Thanks, I think I have decided to go for GDX with alfs then more opinions are welcomed!

Okay, I have a few final questions.
The script to root x8 require ADB, so I need to install that again (just reinstalled windows), was so complicated.
Isnt SuperOneClick easier? ( This method -> http://www.xperia-x8.com/tutorial-how-to-root-sony-ericsson-xperia-x8/ )
How much is completely SAFE to overclock the x8 with alfs kernel and GDX rom?
About 760 mhz..dont set it on boot.
I dont recommend oc.shorter batery life.

Hi, guys...
I have tried and flashed JB Rocket ROM and it was quite good, esp. v2 where pretty much everything worked, but yesterday and today suddenly I can't use my mobile data. Wifi Internet great, but no mobile Internet, no matter how many times I reboot and press "mobile data" button.
SO, my question is: what is the next best TW based JB ROM, since v3 of RR won't be coming because eybee got stressed out over the stupidity and idiotic behaviour of some forum members and he was so close to finishing v3, apparently. Bloody jerks! Respect to him and all the devs.
Hey, can somebody tell the big boys to try and make something like a weekly poll/statistics of which ROMs are most downloaded, which are best rated and stable. It would help a lot and save time spend on questions and aswers regarding this. You know, like when you buy stuff on Amazon, you pick 4/5 star products and then choose from the best of the crops.

Hi there!
I'm also interested and wanted to ask the same question...so Rocket Rom is the best one but unfortunately the dev isn't on it anymore.
Btw, if I understand correctly TW roms are Stock based but tweaked? So it means that it's possible to use Snote etc?
I'm asking this question because i'm for the moment on Thor Rom with Thor Kernel but I really miss Snote...
Thank you

Alliance is a great rom but have you tried the Ultimate v4 LS7 rom?
If you don't care about battery life, which is the fastest?
I have tried Ultimate JB ROM v4 (LS7 based) and so far it is great, fast, battery great too... Alliance ROM sounded interesting, and people in that forum/thread say it is great, but I was put off by "beta 1" thing. Ultimate is ultimate, right?
I think that till the middle of December we should see great, stable and full functional ROMs based on LS9. Can't blame me for hoping, right?
I have used alliance rom before, and right now i'm using Ultimate rom , it is very good and smooth enough, it has very useful OTA updater and i think it's best JB rom todays.

Mostly i play games on my note when m free ......... So i prefer overall performance in Gamin + Battery bck up and by the time in TW have only tried alliance Rom and was'nt so happy wiz it ..... So switched to my old alliance final v3 and nw m quite satisfied !!
U should definitely give a try to RR ( Rocket Rom ) from eybee 1970 OR
Alliance rom from Robbie hood !! They r awesome developers .... Love using their roms !!
Also m juz waitin for Official Jb release by Sammy and new kernels !!
Do you know what I would like to see? I would like to see reviews, benchmarks and such. This android community is so awesome, but there is so much unused potential. So much that doesn't reach out the way it could have.
I would like to see proper, clean wikis with information and manuals. I would like to see reviews, pros and cons with the ROMs, benchmark to justify the verdicts and so on.
Instead, one is left with personal opinions - which isnt wrong or bad in any way, but not always enough. A "professional" review is made for the sake of the review and therefore able to tell us more.
With that said, I would like to ask if there is a 4.2.2 that is TW based. Couldn't find any - I found this thread though
hi guys just dropping by here, i am from samsung forum and i want to ask here what is the latest and most stable stock ROM for X8? plz be patient just new here at x8
By the way there's no stable and fast ROM because every rom has it's own pros and cons. And it's own character so try yourself rom like ginger dx,zencefil,and rom in my signature
andthere's Many rom also out there so do some searching and testing to get a nice rom

Plus, you can try.. Like me.. I have try many roms for stock kernel in my x8.. Choose rom what fits with you.. You can't determine the rom's performance just by one look.. As the above bro said.. You must try at first and consider what rom is fits with your needs.. What features do you need for your phone? That's it.. X8 is a low performance phone and we all know it so we can't suggest that.. Choose yourself
