[MINIPRO] Looking for: Light and Stable ROM/Kernel

[swimon]

Hi,

I'm really sorry for starting a topic like this, but this forum/subsection is really so cluttered...

I'm just looking for a stable, light, snappy ROM. A ROM which has proven it's worth. As little bugs as possible, no experimental features!

And also a kernel which fits best.

I would like like all hardware functions of my phone to keep working though:
Camera/Video, hardware keyboard/lights, vibrate, tactile feedback, etc...

Grtz!

2. Rage Kernel- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910

You will get a bunch of different answers as each rom runs differently depending on set up and apps. To be honest looking for a rom in a development forum and you will always find things to be experimental. XDA is not about finding stable bug free roms. It is about learning and development.

I don't entirely agree. My previous phone was a HTC Desire, there were a lot of experimental ROMs, but also a lot of stable running ROMs.

I agree that most ROMs will always be a little experimental. But there's experimental and experimental ... If you know what I mean

What I'm trying to say is, I would like to have a ROM which is made by someone who really knows what he's doing and not just some barely tested ROM which will crash every 5 seconds

I understand that but really this is development forum for developers to try out things that may cause issues or even brick a device if you don't understand exactly what your doing. This always has been and always will be the case. Just be happy that the devs even offer fixes unlike a few years ago when it was up to the users to dug in and fix issues they come across. Flashing custom roms should never be taken with a grain of salt or done cause people think it is cool or fun. We all should be hear to learn. If your not learning something when flashing then it really is a waste if time.

I understand yhu brov..... its a Development Zone, yhu create something & others test den drop feedbacks & yhu try to improve on it... but some still have bugs even though its an update of tha former.... Also its not easy formatting & customizing tha phone back, thanks to titanium backup for restoring of apps!

I have some knowledge about the proces of flashing roms/customizing phones. I just had more for my previous phone. Everything is a little new for the minipro.

That's also the reason I'm looking for a lite ROM, less potential problems to encounter

 

[hazard_puppet]

if u want really a light rom u could try pro-x rom, it is not posted here in xda, but if u type it on google u could find it on that guy website

 

[swimon]

nice, will check that one out also

In my opinion if you want a light & stable ROM you should stick with stock ROM. Thats what I have done. I just removed all the bloatware and unnecessary crap that I will never use, it has the best battery life and you don't really have to worry about it crashing. Also, I used Rage Kernel as it provides amazing battery life. To make my life easier I installed extra MODs that are essential. Just look at my signature for all the stuff I have installed.

You're right, but I would like to go one step further, I would also (maybe) like to get rid of the Sony apps. Like the Sony launcher, text-app, ... and start using the android default apps.

Is this also possible to remove those system apps from the stock rom?

Yeah, if you are rooted you can do anything you want! That's what I have done, I removed most Sony stock apps and replaced them with the 1s CyanogenMod supplies (which is stock). Some apps I kept the same due to they look nicer!
To be exact, the only thing I changed was the Phone, Contacts & Messaging apps. Everything else I kept the same

me and the best rom so far http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626346

Interesting, thanks.
Do you just remove rhese apps with Titanium? Or using Flashtool? Or any other method?

And what are 1s CyanogenMod supplies?

I doubt this is really stable?

The ones, that are CyanogenMod.
The apps from CyanogenMod ROMs

And indeed, ICS ROMs are not fully stable yet, still have some bugs there and there.

Oké lol, was looking for "1s cyanogen" on google, couldn't find anything

PRO-X ROM is Great!!!

if u want really a light rom u could try pro-x rom, it is not posted here in xda, but if u type it on google u could find it on that guy website

Thanks for the lead. The PRO-X [ROM] is working great in my Mini Pro (SK17i)
BTW, it is now posted on this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639720

I tried three different ROMs in the last one week before settling on this one.
Cyanogenmod 7.1.02 - Didn't work, faced the boot loop problem.
MIUIv4 2.4.6 - Nice UI, but phone felt sluggish and video play was jerky.
4.0.2.A.0.69 Generic (PreRooted) with 66 Baseband - Camera flash was not working.

But finally, PRO-X gives me everything I want - a light, snappy rom with fully functional hardware and no bugs (so far). Had it for two days now.
==> Rage Kernel v2.8 + Baseband 64 + PRO-X v2.2 ROM

Cheers.
