[Q] Best stock and custom ROM

yourpappa · Oct 14, 2011

*I wanted to post this in the development forum but the site wouldnt let me as I am new , so any moderator may feel free to shift it*

I wanted to ask which is the best 2.3 stock ROM for the X6 (as each company brings out its own firmware)

New buyers please read this thread first .( It has all Custom and Stock ROM download links too :- Thanks Haree)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288293

The thread closest to this topic I could find was

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274063

but nothing's clearly concluded on that one.So which company provides the best stock ROM

Spice (link not working since 10 days)
Wellcom (whole site unavailable - checked only today)
Cherry (only one thats working)

People are free to post links of other company ROM if they exist.And which is the best Custom ROM. Can anybody tell the pros and cons of each ROM, which service is not working ,etc . Is there any custom ROM out there that has everything running (front cam, FM, etc)

I have read the individual threads for each ROM and links are here but one sibgle thread to discuss and compare them would provide new buyers good info

MIUI

Thanks for the advice Haree, but yesterday I installed the Cherry magnum update 3 and spent quite some time customizing , so is the 13D version much better than the cherry update 3 that I should install that one?

http://www.wellcommobile.com/android1/
If you go this link and scroll downwards , we'll see our phone with 3 links, one says android 2.3.4 upgrade (model not specified) , 2nd one says something in thai but A99 is written which is the thai version of our phone and third one I think is not for our phone .

The first 2 links are 200 and 270 mb respectively!!Does anybody know about them ? Are they new or do we already have them with different names (and sizes)

PS- What do you think about android 4 Ice cream sandwich . How fast will we get it ?

hi
u can take 13D from here : https://www.sugarsync.com/share/dgkbgd5mo7pzk
i did try the A99. I have not tried the Magnum one u have mentined, do give me the link for this ROM.
What i did with the 13D was root, removed bloatware & removed my screen gaurd and its working very fine for me and im getting good battery around 2 days. id sugest u try it and see if it satisfies ur needs,because everybody has a different requirement for their roms, this is OK for me

hi
i just read from the link u gave me what u are using is : FB0-318D-0-5019-A03.nb0 and the link i gave is the same so we are using the same version just the source we got it from is different thats all

this is a good rom after rooting it and removing the blueberry bloat ware which is present it my version may be not in ur version. Im getting around 2days battery and after removing my screen gaurd im having zero screen going crazy problems

yourpappa · Oct 19, 2011

Yeah theres not much bloatware , but today I'll remove that too by rooting.
Oh and the crazy screen problem freaked me out, but went away after I removed the screen guard . Its funny cuz I could not see any bubbles . Should I get a new screen guard or not , cuz now I'm scared of scratching my phone

yourpappa · Apr 11, 2012

Hi,

I had been away for a while and now there are a ton of custom ROMs available for this phone. Can anybody tell me the best ROM out there for everyday use. Pros and Cons would be appreciated so that it helps other people also.

Indiarocks · Apr 11, 2012

I have tried miui 1.11.11, cherry magnum HD(GB 2.3.4), spice (GB 2.3.4) and sharp SH8188U (GB 2.3.4). I find the sharp ROM as the most stable. The visual appeal of miui rom is the best and it is stable as well, the only downside is that it doesn't have HDMI and FM radio supported.

Sent from my SH8188U using XDA

yourpappa · Apr 12, 2012

What about performance? And also since I am going to use a custom rom , Which stock rom should I build it on, I 'll try Sharp like you said, I have already used cherry mangnum, its good.

So what do other people say, I am stunned with the sheer number no of Roms available now. I wonder why nobody posted benchmarks till now.

Thanks

Indiarocks · Apr 12, 2012

Andro=ID ROM RC-3 is a good custom ROM to start with. You can flash it from the Sharp ROM which is GB 2.3.5. MIUI 1.11.11 is also one of the better options available. Very snappy performance and stable as well. Low incoming call volume is problem in this ROM which can be solved with a patch available. The miui ROM can be flashed from Cherry Magnum or any other Stock ROM based on Android 2.3.4.

yourpappa · Apr 12, 2012

Thanks a lot Indiarocks,
I'll try Sharp now, I have used edowars CM7 and loved it, but since you recommended MIUI 1.11.11, I'll give it a shot.(Are you sure its the best MIUI out there, there are so may versions haha)

Other people are free to speak out their opinions, also could somebody compare edowars CM7 to miui 1.11.11 and other ROMS.

Edit - I have been looking into MIUI, it seems Free Radical's MIUI 2.4.6 is the popular version. Is it good , or even better than edowars CM(27/3/12)

Thanks, this community rocks

Your phone has Corning glass it will not scratch easily so remove the protector. We were discussing this years ago over at AF before xda had a X6 section.

One of my WellcoM A99 has the crazy screen problem, its really starting to piss me off. If i flash any ROM other than stock WellcoM or Cherry Mobile it becomes unusable. It also becomes unusable with the stock ROM after a few weeks sometimes. Does anyone know if there is a screen_fix.zip for this or if there is a solution? cause its out of warranty and i dont live in Thailand nor can i read Thai on their forums.

yourpappa · Apr 14, 2012

The problem with these phones is that they have really sensitive screens but not non-adhesive screens like gorilla glass. Now when you touch the screen, the small amount of dirt and sweat from you fingers cause the phone to recognize 2-3 touchpoints and hence cause it to malfunction.(all of it is just my reasoning )
Just get a good screen guard, it solved the problem permanently for me.

PS - Sorry my net did not work at all yesterday, stupid MTNL. So does anybody answers to my question, I would like to apply a custom ROM, cant wait.
