From jb 4.2 2.6 kernel had problems with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and needed hacks to work... I guess kk will create more problems... And I doubt any dev will do all that work just for fm... Too much work for one feature...

i agree..seems hard..if radio is important to you stick to 4.1.2 roms.:good:

added beamkat review and rom..nice 4.4.2.i liked.:good:

Hi Smokerman...Thank you for your help...AORP very good :good:
( I dont no English...Greetings from Turkey )

Thanks for the summary.
I am currently using Polygon KK with mounts2sd. Very smooth and stable ROM, but I am ready to check other ROMs. Specifically I am looking for a ROM with more Xperia Z1 looks and features.
I think it is time for the ROM developers to include something like int2ext4 or mounts2sd built in to the ROM installer because storage space is almost the only problem for our Arc now (the other problem is processor speed.)

yes, no more updates sinse codename is discontinued, no more development on cna, so djsound based his rom on slim ics, who wants an old and not updated ics rom.
CNA isn't done... They are having problems with members, are they done. NO! Don't spread lies please...

No stock browser And I know it's still in beta, but this ROM comes with a lot of bloatware, IMO. I like all the customization, but don't care for many of the apps preloaded on here. Others may feel different, sure, but that's just my two cents. I look forward to watching this ROM grow.

I totally agree with u....they started with a base rom under 120mb and tripled its size. The options are nice, but I think most rom flashers already have there go to kernel and modem on the phone to flash to.

about that, i specified in the OP that you must choose custom installation and there you can choose the apps that you want installed in the rom, like the stock browser but you must choose the first kernel that says slim default if you dont select the kernel you will have the otherone you have previously
I havent really delved too much in to this ROM, but when choosing apps I noticed the Google Chrome browser, but not the stock android browser. I may have missed it

Believe me its there in the aroma installer
I believe you. After I leave the office I'll have more time to fiddle with this ROM. I look forward to all the custom options this rom offers. Thanks.

it is fast, it is stable and customizable indeed, but nothing works for me i mean only thing i can do is sending/receiving an sms
whatever ringtone or default notification i choose does not matter it does have no sound, everything i correct in stteings, it just does not make any sound. I try to play some music with player no sound again
i can call and receive a call but i can't hear anything and they can't hear me on other side either
i tried flashing few times, default, cutomized, with advised kernel, without advised kernel, but glitch and having always same results.
every other rom works just fine, this is sad as i really liked it
Same prob with sound. Also my camera won't work. I get an error unable to connect to camera!

Final Update and it's better than ever see the OP!
Wierd problem. I did a wipe user/data, installed the rom and it boots up fine.
1- bootscreen is only glowing "android" logo, not samsung.
2- on main screen, there is only the TW-digital clock and icon for Internet. Everything else shown in pics is missing (also standard ICS wallpaper, not TW)
3- Settings top bar is pure black, not themed TW-ux style
4- Missing almost all Samsung widgets, bar the digital clock one (No social hub, music player etc)
And also tried the v2 of the rom.
It is missing almost everything except the blue wallpaper. Not even digital clock widget is there, let alone _any_ apps. And that means no Google Play or anything.
I might say, this version is close to worse rom i have tried.

He's not a rom dev, he's a rom modder, all he's doing is taking some apps out, themeing the framework and adding a different launcher, we can all do that, Kallt_Kaffe and Pershot are devs

Of these, there are no touchwiz widgets and hardly any real worthy change over stock CM9.
Does this have the Samsung keyboard? for best compatibility with the keyboard dock, biggest issue with all unofficial ICS builds for me, not all keys work correctly.

Hello everyone.In this thread I will write down reviews for some of the best ROMs for Xperia X8.ATM I tested just 3 ROMs and I will review each of them , but I will test more and review them right here for you
To find a ROM in my review list press CTRL + F in the same time and write the ROMs name​
FDE +4 - Final Verison​
In this morning I was looking for a custom ROM for my new Xperia X8 when I found this.I was amazed by it's Xperia look.I also read some comments from guys who already tested it and I wanted it tok.I installed it trough CWM and I excepted poor performance because all of us know that stock kernel isn't that good (yes , I use stock kernel because I have my phone sim-locked and I don't want to break it's radio). I instantly loved the bootanimation which is simple but cool and after the boot , I was truly amazed.This ROM is very smooth and clean.I haven't got any lag until now and battery seems to be OK.Also I have installed some games to test it's performance.I tested both , 2D and 3D games to see how it's working and it worked like a charm.The performance in 2D is amazing and in 3D some games still need Chainfire3D to work properly.I overclocked it at 690mhz and it's very good.I also like the idea of including theme chooser.I downloaded Xperia Arc theme from Google Play (which is also included) and applied it.It's working perfect.The clock is by default on the center of status bar and it's nicely covered by date when you pull the bar down.This is my first review and hope you liked it.Below you can see some stats to have the same performance or maybe better with a new kernel.
Phone specs:
Stock Kernel
Baseband 015
CPU 691mhz - 122mhz
Grades:
Performance : 9
Design : 7 because the ugly icons
Battery life : 8 which is pretty good
Installation : 10 very easy
Reserved #2
Reserved #3
Nice. I also review ROMs. If you would like to team up, we can create better reviews for the public. Just an idea. Also, I think if you used standard English and not slang your review might be more professional. And maybe some structure? But great overall.
No offense, but I think you shouldn't be judging which are the best ROMs for our device. Each user has it's own best ROM based on their experience.
In my opinion, you should review the current most popular ROMs for the X8.
Oh my the OP is just trying to make a review based in his/her opinion and you guys bombarded him with this and that JUST BECAUSE OF HIS TITLE? Sad to say but this is what Ive noticed. When new people comes and and post ideas and reviews or do something useful although it already exist, you always bombard them with negative feedback's like that thread exist that is not useful blah blah blah. Whats wrong with you guys? You say for a fact that everyone has its own best rom, then the OP has his own so his review never existed.
I think what we need to do here is guide noobs rather than posting degrading and disappointing words. If you dont feel like helping then dont but please refrain from posting such things. I wonder if people do the same actions to you. sighs..
Please stay on topic guys! Further trolling won't be tolerated!
@OP: I suggest you to change the title/body of your thread a bit to give it a more personal touch.
Maybe this will keep the trolls away
Thread cleaned.
Sorry for inactivity but I took some time to test more ROMs.I succesfully unocked my bootloader and I will test more ROMs.Future reviews:

Well I remember using it and it was stable and smooth,also I don't remember any bugs or such
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
In 2 yerars of 'rominstalling' on X8 I think GingerDX v031b and the latest Alfs (08a) Kernel is the best of all. The phone is quick, can work very stable on 748MHz.

[ROM][PORT]HellyBean Beta1.1+ | Google Apps INCLUDED!

This is an Android Jellybean 4.1.2 ROM, based on the sources of CyanogenMod10!
Note: I DID NOT make this ROM. I only ported it from the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100. Thank Helly Bean, CyanogenMod and the rest of the All-Star Devs for making this possible.​
Official thread
Project Website!
HellyBean is CM10 based, but comes with a lot of other specs and options that CM base does not have!
- Facebook sync integrated
- Option to enable high end gfx effects, on lower end devices
- Possibility to disable high end gfx effects, on higher end devices
- Possibility to activate and customize navigation bar (color of background, glow effect, transparency)
- Possibility to customize status bar (color of background, transparency)
- Transparent lock screen (taken from ParanoidAndroid, coded by Jesus David)
- Edge swipe navigation (ported from SGT7)
- Ability to enable tablet UI (ported from AOKP)
- Kill-all button in recent apps tray (ported from AOKP)
- Task manger button in the recent apps tray (this needs OS Monitor to be installed, otherwise nothing happens...still a WIP)
- Customizable long-press-back-kill timeout (from 500ms to 3000ms)
-Option to use Sense 4's recent apps tray
- Pdroid patched, if app installed, re-charable at: settings --> system --> security
- Added the possibility to search for contacts by nickname or company name (with dialpad T9, has to be activated in the dialpad settings), cherry-picked from AOKP
- And much more!

The bugs will be the same as our CM10 bugs.
Concerning the mic: it should work.
I tried Shazam and it worked. Haven't tried Skype and Google Now, but I trust on the fact that it should work.
I'll take a look at CM10 thread and make a list of known bugs!

Yes, as this ROM is CM10 based. There is an CM10.1 based, which I will port too soon. Or I' ll wait till CM10.1 bugs are fixed, I wouldn't know.
Till then I'll be working on this.

Thanks for the support! I will try my best.
I'm also busy on another ROM to give our users a wide choice of ROMs.
But nevertheless we shouldn't forget the great Pure Vanilla AOSP stock ROM. Ur ROM was the first I used and made me realise that I wanted to contribute something to the users, I gotta thank you for that!!

awesome, I'm right behind you!
I know it's still available. I would rather get a ROM that's on XDA, that's all.
I just made "the jump" and wiped Sammy away from my Note, I flashed C-Rom Kang 1.7.
No regrets at all :good:, insane speed and features with Lean Kernel 3.6.

I have tried so many times to jump ship with my note.
But i always end up reverting, I dont know if its because i use SideSync so much and CM or PA appear to break that.
I can just not stay on for longer than a day to test it out.

Sadly I just reverted back to a stock base rom (Audax), after discovering that the Mobeam Beep n Go is not working on AOSP/CM roms [emoji17] , and also after some (probably) ram issues wich caused instability.
I'm on Temasek's CM11. Most stable CM based ROM for me. Slim and C ROM had problems on my phone. Would soon try Dirty Unicorn or even LiquidSmooth as soon as it gets stable status.

Have you already tried c-rom? How does temasek features list compare with it?
Little OT also, since I'm a newbie here, are this kind of thread against xda "no best rom thread allowed" rule? Just asking, I want to respect the forum guidelines [emoji4]

Tried C-RoM Kang from vikas724. I had some issues, the screen won't turn on and it's bothersome. Temas CM11 build has a few customization, but C-ROM Kang has more way more.
I've used AOSP ROMs on my HTC Desire HD and loved them.
Sammy now has so many little bonuses with their ROMs though. I use Pen Window, Multi Window, 4k recording, Blocking Mode on a daily basis.
Are there available on any AOSP, CM, AOKP Note 3 ROMs?
Could I make a TWRP backup of my current ROM, then install an AOSP, CM, AOKP ROM, then backup that in TWRP, and switch between the two?

You could easily switch back and forth in just a few minutes they are so light and unbloated they load up really fast. If you care about recording audio with your videos you will be extremely disappointed on every aosp ROM. They all record sound extremely low like they only use the microphone from phone calls.
********I spoke too soon, the recording audio is back in temasek's latest test build from today. It should be back for all of aosp in the near future as well*******

Not anymore...fixed check some CM based ones. They should be fixed now.
I'm a huge fan of Bobcat ROM, it's what I use on my daily Tmo Note 3. My experimental Note 3 runs DarthStalker ROM. Both are great choices.
Just send me a pm if you need info about X-Note.
