Dear all,
Could you guide me sources and/or infos related to Sony w8? I cannot find dedicated forum for this phone. Since it is almost the same to Sony x8, I post my question in this forum. All I want to know is as follow.
1. How to root w8
2. Custom froyo built ROM with wifi tethering support
3. Other tips and tricks
If you can answer or know where I can go for, please help show them.
It is a good smart phone at its value. I bought it at USD190 which is $20 more than x8. But I love glossy black in front and glossy orange back over.
Thanks,

x8 and w8 is the same phone with same software and hardware but different color..you can root it same as x8 and use x8 custom froyo or gingerbread rom..but native wifi tethering is not supported by any rom but you can use barnacle wifi tether from market.
1. Root tutorial
You may use X8's super1click with no problem.
2. I am not sure,try the x8 custom rom if you dare.
3. Just root and use link2sd,it is enough for you daily use,these are what i can say.
Thanks. I will try superoneclick to root my device. I will not dare to install custom ROM for x8 since they are optimized for it only. I will wait till some friends develop one for w8. Link2SD is something I am considering now if I have to wait for froy built or to try it with current 2.1.
try to use ROM X8 in W8
I've tried to use ROM's X8 into my phone W8. Flash result is OK but it doesn't working properly, my SIM card doesn't work. It always change to airplane mode. So Who can fix this problem???

go to dev tools and try crashing system
I want to try but I don't have any experience in modding ROM
Superoneclick is not working with my w8. Even it shows success rooting but no root permission. Su command is not working and su running test by superoneclick is also not responding. Superuser is there but useless. Can somebody guide me new ways? I want to install app2sd as soon as possible.

Hello all.
I am running FroyoBread 0.25 on my xperia X8. It's wonderful rom in my opinion but, i want to ask you if there is a way to install the original Sony Ericsson keyboard on it. It have Android Keyboard, (LatinIME) installed and HTC-ime. The second is for the trash for me, and Android Keyboard is very good but i think that the stock keyboard is the best. I've managed to extract it from my Original Rom backup and installed it. But when I try to activate it, I get a crash error. So is there somebody to help me in this. Thank you in advance.
U can try froyo pro v1.1.
Its the same as the rom ur using (which is racht's floyo v0.25).
It got stock keyboard and a bit more modification...

@maliceomalice can I update without system reset / full wipe because i don't want to loose all apps and settings.
Edit: And is the stock keyboard included and the other modifications
Edit: Ok don't bother to answer me i took a look on the change log. Well I am downloading it and I am going to install it because look COOL. And the most inportant, the froyo unlock sliders are transparent

if you still need Xperia Stock Keyboard, here it is.
Install with xRecovery(actually I cant remember its xRec or CWM, Pls try both)
Hi there !
I am relatively noob. Got my xperia for 4 days, with 2.1 android version. I couldn't detect my laptop ad hoc wifi, so i rooted my phone and installed another android version.
I managed to install a few versions, but all of them reboot-ed my phone without a reason (even while i was talking with someone)
Now i have gingerbread for xperia x8 cyanogenmod 2.3.5 v3
The problem is, if i turn my wifi on and manage to connect to my adhoc wifi and then i lock my phone without disconnecting/turning off my wifi, the phone reboots in a few seconds.
Is this normal? or i have to search and install another mod?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
bump
any1 knows? is this a bug for all ROMs?
I think this is a bug, you must turn off your wifi before you lock your phone.
Hit the THANKS button if I helped!

Hello guys,
I am brand new here,as after 3 years of owning a X8 i decided to jump to other ROM,because i was bored of the simple design of his menu and i was so frustrated to stay back with android market when my friends had messenger for facebook e.g.,i had to refresh again and again my opera..and much more apps and games i would like to play.So,i decided to start searching for new ROMs,and i found MIUI,but i wasnt able to find a stable version to dl for my phone.Then i found JB Mini Project,I succeeded on installing it on X8 but there is one thing that wont work in every version of JB i have tried!THE WI-FI!It is really frustrating for me!I am so begginner to those things,but i understand that its not only me that will have this problem and that developers might be working on it right now(I am 3D designer and i know about beta versions of things,even I have to release again and again my creation because of a bug),but i really hope someone had this problem too and found a fix on it..I tried a fix i found in forums with Titanium Backup,but nothing...
Anyone knows anything..just help me out with this.:crying:

Patience my friend x)
What wifi problem do you have? Unable to detect Adhoc connection?
Have You tried this Kernel + Rom ? (All JB rom is unable to scan adhoc wifi. Except if you make changes to the source and compile it yourself)
If you want to surf the internet but with not using wifi and using a cable, This is a Post for you.
use back stock ROM (just kidding

Maybe the rom + kernel combination is wrong or the rom is just being buggy.
I just personally liked nAa's work because he release a stable version of every product.
If you want to change into the recommended rom that I just told you;
1. Flash the latest kernel (06)
2. Follow instruction on the kernel post. (/system wipe at recovery before flashing a rom & etc)
3. Flash the rom. Followed by the GAPPS
4. As it said, this is my recommendation steps. I do not guarantee your satisfactory

I started with a stock Froyo ROM. The only tool that I could get to work for Froyo was "blackjack".
This link helped me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105
Look for "ROOT ON Froyo (2.2.x, v10x)".
Once you root your phone (superuser will be installed) , install CWM's ROM Manager. From there it's Happy Hacking.
A note (or two):
You're going to have to make a decision about what you want to do concerning stability. Froyo and GingerBread-based ROMs are "solid"; they are usable as "daily-drivers", i.e., you can use them on a daily basis without fear of significant hiccups, freezes, and crashes.
ICS (4.0.4) and greater based-ROMs (including the factory ICS) can be problematic, with freezes, lock-ups, features not working, etc. Some folks are using KitKat-based ROMs as daily-drivers; good for them. They have more patience than I do.
My recommendation for a stable ROM is either Marvel 9 or Zeus 6.4; both are GB-based. Zeus 7.06 was absolute headache for my phone.
If you want to go all-out, try Evisceration's KitKat ROM:

He's one of the few developers still working on this old phone.

When you loaded the ROM and went to install, did it take you to the superuser screen?
Try updating superuser from the Play Store. The version might be old.
Hi.I have a xperia e1 and recently rooted it with Kingroot and want help on how to install cynogen on my xperia e1 wich runs on 4.4.2.I dont know how to install install.Any help will be great!!!
At the moment, you can't.
@Kizoky @Razeen77 Well, you can... But it would be difficult and you could wreck your device. CyanogenMod right now isn't stable at all, and the port we have is able to use WiFi and Bluetooth and other vital functions, but calling and texting doesn't work. You can't even install apps or use a lock screen. Read the risks before you flash. If you need links and all the good stuff PM me or reply and I'll walk you through the process. Good luck!
