OptimusXperia – Xperia themed ROM for Motorola XT502

After a long pause to CM7 (Android 2.3.7)-based ROMs for Motorola XT502 (and Commtiva Z71 clones), there’s this nice looking one – thanks to Dipesh Ramnani!

Xperia Optimus ROM based on CM7

If you’re a fan of the Xperia user interface (famously known as the Sony Ericsson UX/UI experience), you will love this ROM. Well, it doesn’t do justice to view this ROM as just another skinned-version. This ROM actually adds a few features which we Commtiva-Z71-clone-users would have never experienced.

Key features:

  • Xperia Arc Launcher
  • Timescape UI (3-D) and widgets
  • Updated drivers for better performance and stability
  • Walkman music player
  • SuperCharger RAM script (I still prefer the RAM Manager)
  • New boot-animation
  • Suitable with most kernels – I recommend the ones from Edgar

Installation is straight forward – it’s just a backup file, and you need to restore it using ClockWorkMod Recovery (ROM Manager).

IMPORTANT: You must use the latest Recovery to restore this from the backup. Download it from here and flash it using this simple method.

BUGS as mentioned by Dipesh: Music stuttering – this can be solved by using this method or this one with overclocked with one of the kernels mentioned above.
