NEW X10x EW Jet V009.3ex - CLEAN VERSION - Faster and Smoother so far :)

Introducing the modules concept for a faster, smooth and clean rom:
Note: Modules are to be installed via xRecovery. Full Package is for all stock applications. Flash if you feel like there's something missing from the rom, but performance will suffer.

X10x EW Jet V009.3ex with New Zeam, New Regina 3D, Arc, or LauncherPro Launchers
( NEW THEME FLAVOR AVAILABLE AT MY SHARED FOLDER: BLACK, BLUE, HONEYCOMB.. MORE..)

This is a custom rom, modified and optimized for both the X10a and X10i based on the stock 2.1 Generic 2.1.1.A.0.16 for X10i. It's planned to be even faster yet (New tweaks available), so it doesn't have much of the crapware that comes with the stock rom from SE.
It is natively rooted, and comes with:
  • xRecovery (last version of FreeXperiaRecovery)
  • BusyBox(optimized)
  • SuperUser (latest version)
  • NEW MAXTHON WEB BROWSER - Our Partner
  • Dolphin Mini Web Browser - New version 2.1.1
  • Zeam Launcher (latest version)
  • NEW ARC Launcher from new Sony ARC
  • Link2SD* (very useful and handy app.. strongly recommended) (thanks to bakpinar)
  • PC Companion removed to improve startup performance
  • Optimized Semc Camera V010 (Thanks to 28spawn)
  • Native adblocking (no need to install AdFree)
  • HTC Keyboard (lastest version from XDA)
  • Cool Black Theme (thanks to EMPREX 2)
  • Many other improvements!

Tweaked for performance and battery life!
  • Compression and compliation improved
  • Optimized and zipaligned
  • Tweaked services
  • Removed unnecessary services
  • sysctl.conf (tweaked)
  • build.prop (tweaked)
  • JIT V2
  • multitouch (tweaked)
  • native adblocking
  • mediscape
  • Google Maps and Market

*Important tip: The higher your SD card's class number, the better the performance. For example, a class 8 is much better than a class 2 due to higher transfer rates in class 6 compared to a class 2. Your device's performance will vary depending on the SDCard that you have. So choose a higher class number instead a low and be happy.
LINK2SD is provided witht his rom. Here's some tips

Once you have made your partition, open the link2sd app, give it superuser permission and then start moving your apps, please be aware that apps which have widgets are to be left on the phone memory or they not work.
Lastly, any questions about setting your partition are best aimed at the thread there not here out of respect for Erick, the tool provided in the thread makes the process easy, so do not be afraid to try and the benefits are for a faster cleaner phone.

Make a backup of the rom you are using now with xrecovery, install one of Ericks new builds, before rebooting go into restore/advanced restore, choose the backup up you made earlier then select restore data, after that has flashed reboot your phone and your phone will be running with all your apps and settings, i do this all the time, it is a quick way of flashing new roms, hope this helps you.
Thanks to my friend Smartgardens for the tips above.

I would like to invite you to try this blazing fast yet stable ROM today! I would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have. Please remember that you are doing so at your own risk and I am not responsible for bricking your phone or any other damage that may ensue.

Requirements:
1. Rooted 2.1 ROM (latest .435 or .16 firmware and baseband 2.1.54 or 2.1.55 or the new 2.1.58 - tested and recommended) If you don't have it, please go to Bin4ry's [GUIDE] and use this tool from Bin4ry and Androxyde to flash both. First flash the firmware .435 and afterwards, the new baseband.
2. working xRecovery

Installation:
.1. Optional: Back up your mobile data APNs using APN Backup, as they will be erased when flashing this ROM. An xRecovery backup may also be created.
1. Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe battery stats.
2. Flash the X10.2.1.1.A.0.16.EWJET.XXx.XX.zip package via xRecovery
3. Reboot and for tweaking purposes, remember to enable "Unknown sources" and Development/"USB debugging" under Settings -> Applications
4. Configure Link2SD, and install this tweak through xRecovery: ew.tweakz.zip
5. ENJOY!
Note: At first, you may experience some lag, as some libraries are still loading/caching. This lag will go away soon, and your X10 will fly!

ATTENTION:
I will answer only for bugs and errors for another or further information drop me a PM.
If you like it a click at "Thanks" is enough.

Enjoy!
