keep restarting….
ok so i done everything and when i try to boot it the logo comes and goes and blue light comes and goes -.- .. did you blow up my fucking phone?
same thing happens to me…
How can i restore all my phonebook/text messages/apps that i used to have on 2.1 ???
It works 😀 the camera is a beauty and the video works flawlessly. One problem I have is that it wiped my APNs and Network Settings. Its no big deal because I can reinstate them easily, but it is a bit of an annoying thing. Anyone else experiance this, or is it just me?
Does the camera and video work?
Ok, I did it! Since it’s the first time I change for a custom ROM, I had a common problem that is the BOOTLOOP problem because the baseband version. For somehow, the baseband version I had in my mobile (although old) was x10i and not the x10a (written in the stick behind the mobile). To stop the booloop, I needed to reinstall a generic firmware to x10a, then reinstalled xrecovery and then the custom rom. That way the bootloop has gone 😉
Weird because the custom rom went back to x10i, but no more reboots.
Anyway, everything abou installation is also updated in the post of the rom:

and they already have a newer version!
Anyway, I feel so happy to have 2.2.1 and blazzing fast interface 😀
Thanks so much
