Hi all, I recently took the plunge into the world of custom roms and its awesome, so much better then stock
I have flashed my x8 with the Froyo 2.2.1/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 rom by ponanovn and he has just released a new rom Gingerbread 2.3.5/Cyanogenmod 7.1-Pre using cm7, When I first installed the orginal Froyo 2.2.1 I used x recovery and simply renamed the file to update.zip and simply flashed it and it worked however on his page he doesnt say rename the file to "update,zip" anymore and he says make a back up in "cwm recovery" instead of xrecovery is it neccesary to use cwm recovery with cm7? im just a bit confused if anyone could help me I would be gratefull Thanks
Too complicated! Download and install GingerDX instead. It's a FULLY working Gingerbread 2.3.5!

Thanks I was having a look at it before and it seemed pretty good, might just make the change to GingerDX, are you using it? if so are there any bugs etc? cheers
Yes, I'm using v005. SO SMOOTH!!! And 3MP camera!! I have no bugs at all. If you have bugs, make a full wipe.
I can recommend GingerDX as well, it is updated on a regular basis, and doixanh is one of the best ROM developers for X8 currently, he just seems to be able to pull things off that noone expected, like the 3mp camera fix for instance!
I agree, GingerDX is the most complete 2.3 Rom. There is updates nearly every day and each update will preserve your data, no major bugs and if there is DX will sort it.
Thanks for the help
I would suggest GingerDX.
But you can try to use multiboot if you have a class 6 or more sd card instead of changing a ROM.

You should have posted this in General Forum, not here.
Anyway, what do you mean by modify? If you are referring to the notification bar widgets and like, its no easy task my friend. Involves a lot of work.
y u don't use one of the custom mods, i use CM6 myself and it is imo the most stable rom out there,
if u just want to tweak ur stock rom i would recommend staying at 2.1. and tweak it a little with an OR, replacing and removing apps, overclocking etc.
afaik it does a little better wit multitasking, i would use it myself if it wouldn't miss so much features from CM...
hehehe a CM5 for milestone would be funny lol
if u are just looking for a guide
-factory reset
-flash 2.2.1 GOT release
-run OpenRecovery
-install CM update
-wipe cache and dalvik
or read this thread

I dont agree stock Froyo works fine so if u are looking for longer battery life just update u MM to this ROM.
I think little steps are better for beginner just get Open Recovery 3.3 root u phon maybe turn up u CPU speed
the requirements stated :
Requirements
- Rooted
- ClockworkMod Recovery (v014+)
- Latest kernel and latest baseband xxx015
which means now i have to update my x8 to latest 2.1 eclair, and the root and install CWM recovery, and no need to unlock bootloader? no need to flash custom kernel? stock kernel can do just fine?
Yea...if u havent root, use stock rom,2.1 eclair (not like u have other rom),root,install xrec or CWM, then flash Gingerdx ( follow the instruction at gdx thread)

so i dont need to unlock bootloader and install custom kernel? awesome! coz i don like to do so
nop just have that on your cel and you can flash it, and remember making a full wipe for better results on the rom
Just root, install CWM, and flash the rom, modded kernel is not required
Do not install GingerDX with xRecovery, it will have bugs if you do, use CWM and before you install the rom, do a full wipe.

rom and kernel
To flash KERNEL you need unlock bootloader.
To install ROM you need root + recovery.

Excuse, but I installed it with xRecovery and I have no bugs. I only feel that battery draining is higher than stock ROM, but that's all. I've used it for a week without problems.

u can use with stock kernel too, if u wanna use custom kernel then u need to unlock bootloader, and all gingerdx roms v14 and above needs to be installed with cwm
go to settings/ Accounts & Sync and hit auto-sync or down on list hit on gmail account
I have cwm 3.2.0.0 is the same thing with cwm v014+???
Okay , it's been hours , and I found nothing fruitful.
I just want a stable ROM on my X8 , and get rid of my Eclair.
I want Froyo , not gingerbread.
My device is rooted , Got backups with Xrecovery. I have Stock kernal
Firstly , Gingerdx v021 had a buggy messaging application , and I removed it.
Froyobread resulted into a boot loop on my device (Recovered now using PCC)
And , I'm not able to find a clean version of Floyo 1.0 . I downloaded from two sources , and got different errors. (once a missing file , and second time a MD5 error).
Is there any genuine file for Floyo 1.0 , which is 100%working, if you suggest that ? Or is there anything much better ? Download links for those will be appreciated.
I dont wish to change my kernal , and want a very stable/smooth ROM , and highly preferable choice is froyo , since it would be more stable.
Somebody Please Help !!
Well . I'm using Minicm6 , which is 2.2.1 froyo, and I like it very much. Very responsive touchscreen, nice performance, good battery life, and... STABILITY! I've never experienced force close with this rom.

General discussion and reviews of users running on Andro-ID V3.3-RC3. I just tried it, but switched back to original MI 410 GB rom as the phone app on this rom sucks and GPU posts lower FPS. This also causes games such as GTA III to crash unexpectedly. TJ_Style must switch back to the original dialer and incase if he wishes to change, I suggest use a dailer/phone app which has a different all receiving screen. I really face a problem receiving calls with sweaty fingers. Guys please post your reviews here. Thanks.
Hi i tried to install the rc3 7z file via SUT 1.8.2 but it doesn't seem to recognise the 7z file that's available for download.. it keeps asking for an nb0 / xml file selection . do i need to change the extension or something before flashing ?
i just had a corrupted download the redownloaded 7z was extracting fine.
older backup did not work with this rom's recovery
guy's today i nearly braked by phone.
after trying this rom, when i try to flash backup made by napstar recovery then after installation when i try to reboot the phone, i m stucked at andro-id logo.
then i take battery out and boot into recovery again, then i try to update to napstar recovery. i flash the zip file and reboot the recovery. then i am also not able boot into recovery too.
then i flash stock 2.3 rom through SUT LR v1.8.2 and boot into download mode again replaced stock recovery.img with napstar's one in image folder. after that i booted into recovery and flashed my backup
thank's god my phone is safe now and running edowar great cm7.2
Hi Kallan_suz, you need to extract the .7z file using winrar. There is a file with an extension .nb0 in it. This is the file sut lr is asking for. If U need any more help post here. Its very easy yo flash though. Connect the fone and U are good to go.
Mithil
strange problem when i try to install this .nb0 it says some kind of error using sut
Dude use SUT LR 1.8.2, the other version 1.7 gives errors. Search on Google with this name and U shud find it.

Ok, here's what U need to do. Flash back to the stock SPICE GB rom, because Sharp and RC3 use different kernel. Then flash back to CM 7.2.

But it works with my old BelkinG.
Anyone can help me?? Thanks!!
Althought I'm running on CM7 now
But I was use this ROM for 6weeks
This ROM has good performance n very stable
But 2 things which annoying me,,so annoying
1.Headset Volume too loud,,maybe kernel build problem,,I use headset volume control to minimize problem
2.If RAM usage too heavy,,it cause auto reboot(not sudden reboot)so you must using AKM/AMM or for best experience,use V6Supercharger script
Thats I feel of this ROM
Hey guys,,is anyone have Bravia engine tweak for this device?

I just installed this ROM last night. I don't find any significant difference between this and sharp ROM, with some added features. Everything works ok including FM radio. I did not test the hdmi feature.
Guys can someone tell me what is the difference between a stock ROM like Sharp and this Andro-ID V3.3-RC3, I find this very similar to rooted sharp ROM with some differences like, lock screen and bloatware removed. I am sure there must be some advantages and better features that I might be not aware of. Guys please enlighten me about the better features that I can use. I am on this ROM right now.
Thanks in advance...

Hello there, a couple of questions, I am at the moment running ginger dx, but Im not really a fan of CyanogenMod, So dont really want to use CM9/7/6 which pretty much narrows down the selection of roms
I have the Eclair (I think) Rom that came with the phone stored on computer (2.1.1.C.0.0) which I find very good, and completely lag free in every way (unlike the cyanogenmod ones sometimes)
I want just to know a couple of things.....is the C.0.0 the latest original rom from sony ericsson? did they bring a froyo rom out?
is there any complete stock (based on c.0.0 or later) custom roms???
I like to partition memory card so i can get a extra gig to store games etc, does link2sd or similar work on such a early rom???
I await your replys
-GARY
Yep... 2.1.1.C.0.0 is the latest.
You can try...
Beagle ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562511
X-Rom v3 and X-Clean v1 http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431231
They are based on 2.1.1.C.0.0. Partition works (ext2, IDK about ext3 and ext4 but try the X8 Toolbox ext4). IDK if SWAP partition works... Link2SD also works (I even using it on CM7 roms because mounting SD to PC is SLOW... )
I haven't tried those yet because some of my apps are for GBs.
hi
yes 2.1.1.C.0.0 its the lastest,no froyo or gongerbread oficial for our x8´s

Thanks for the info.
As stated above I would use one of Matej's Stock;Based ROMs.
Personally, I don't like the Stock ROM because of the Sony skin on it . Of course when I used the Stock ROM I didn't know about A-Cheps themes for it

I think I will actually try out the froyo roms, eclair, very stable, is missing a lot of options I use daily
I was using miniCm7 2.2.0 and it was completely lag free you can try it for yourself
and it is stable too
