Everything here about xperia x8 is applicable to the w8 as well. Basically anything you see here for x8 can be used for w8. Froyo (android 2.2) roms here are usable on the w8. E.g. Froyobread, Racht's floyo roms etc. can be used on the w8.
Note: Next time use the search function before asking a question as it may already be answered.

Can it be vice versa, I mean, can I use original W8 firmware from SEUS on my X8?

I saw someone post that he managed to flash W8 firmware onto his X8 using SEUS . I haven't tried it out, but I think there are several threads on X8 dev section that have instructions on how to flash W8 firmware to X8. Search for them.
Note: They're probably not on the first page of dev section.
Ok, I'll look for it, or more simple, I'll just flash it and post results
Edit: Can't download stock firmware on SEUS, says that I have already newest firmware and there is no "Next" option, which usually is on Custom>Stock 2.1

i want to ask that if i install froyo roms on my w8 will it void my warranty
Sent from my w8 using xda premium
Yes, but rooting itself did it already
But if you flash 2.1 via Flashtool again , it will be there again, and you can send it to SE if you have problems.
So just don´t worry about that.
My sony ericsson w8 have very less phone memory so i am not able to install more applications
So please anyone tell me any measure for it

If youre new to the world of ROMS go with GingerDX v021 because it doesnt require an unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel.

have u rooted yet? did u check the thread i pasted,dat'll help and do u even bother to read?
first of all you need to have rooted your fone!
2nd : installed recovery!
3rd : from a choice of your own, pick a rom and install via recovery!
4th : if ur up for adventure, try unlocking bootloader, then flash a custom kernel then a custom rom! recommended nAa!
all links and tuts are available on the forums! jus search them up!
I have:
Sony Ericsson E16i W8 RooTed.
Installed xrecovery 0.1...
...updated to CWM based recovery.
File with ROM (kernel included) of oficial CyanogenMod 7.1 for SE E15i xperia x8. Shakira
Band... M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Stock kernel and ROM locale of russia.
12W04 (i know, what this rom can brick my phone, accept)
WI-FI and 3g internet for connection (instruction)
SD card 8gb.
Base known in english (if you can, write me in russian)
I have no computer in this time. But I want do it now.
Who can help me flash cm 7.1?
Sent from my E16i using XDA
I dont know about bootloader, havent simlock.
Sent from my E16i using XDA
this rom needs unlocked bootloader and custom kernel. if you have 12W04, you can't unlock BL, so you can't flash custom kernel. therefore you can't use this rom, if you want gingerbread try GingerDX
But one time there was fix for error 7! Of how install cm on stock kernel?

Hi Xda developers and all its users.
I have xperia X8 and i love my phone and using android 2.1 Eclair happily but for so many days i am quite unhappy because of some resons about my phone like
I cant port my apps toy sd card(Main Reason)
Multi touch disability..
So i have just rooted up my phone and install xrecovery 0.1 sucessfully
Now i am bit confused about choosing a rom formy phone..
After reading other threads about same problem some said froyo is better and else said ICS is better..
So guys plz suggest me which rom i should install in my phone which have no bugs and cant be laggy at all...
I can use my phone mostly for gaming,browsing and listening songs.
I like ICS and Jelly beans both..
Is there any custom rom among both of them which i can use....
Please suggest me...
Thank You
Well since you've just install xRecovery i assume you are using stock kernel.So i suggest you to use GingerDX v028b.
You've been joining XDA for about a year now but why did you post your question in Themes & App section.You should post your question in Q&A section.Please read the forum rules!!

Stock kernel-froyo(minicm6,froyobread)

Hey I'd say go with gingerxperia revolution or minicm7.....these two roms are really good.....

As per u all said i installed Gingerdx...but when i reboot my phone the screen stucks at "SONY ERICSSON" logo...
What i do now....??
Install GZR!
your device is on stock kernel so put gingerbread rom/froyo ,its more stable....cause jelly bean and ics are not stable though on custom kernel.

Searching helps. Now, there is no "best rom". But since you pretty much know what you want, i suggest checkinh out the roms in the dev forums and find out which rom suits you best.

No difference at all
I didn't try installing x8's rom on w8.might be possible by flashing x8's stock 2.1.1 firmware.
+u can root,install recovery with flash tools application (for windows etc)
U don't need to unlock bootloader now (it's risky! May damage phone {we call hard brick})

I wonder why Sony made W8 while there was X8
Sent from my W8 using xda app-developers app
well actually as leecorp said there are clone models
W8 is nothing but a X8 with Walkman moniker and Android platform. It looks like Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, the difference being the body design, a walkman app and the name walkman on its body
yes you can install X8 roms on W8.
@gogeta
they made W8 so that people can get choice of the body and a W8 is a completely different phone for layman and it is priced bit more than X8 so basically to rob people not knowing the difference
The two phones are very identical in both design and in hardware specifications. The X8 come under Xperia range of smartphone and W8 under Walkman range of smartphone.So any rom for the X8 is a rom for the W8 and any rom for the W8 is a rom for the X8

It is normal Sony Ericsson's policy. Look on other old walkman phones. All of them is based on other non walkman phones. For example: w200 and k510, w800 and k750, w610 and k550.
Both are same
W8 has music player as Walkman
X8 has music as music
Otherwise no difference ...only sound quality improved in w8
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can
there is particularly no difference in the firmware...so you can do it without any hesitation......
And I forgot to mention one thing above. The W8 speaker is much more better than the X8's. Probably because its Walkman branded.

Hello Xperia X8 community i came from X10 lol , i come in peace !! well my friend has a X8 and he is a totally noob , dunno too much about android and rooting things , well the phone lost the system i know how to get it back by SEUS , my question is : whats the difference between Shakria, Robyn and Mimmi ?? and whats is Nightly means ??
and install the MiniCm10 rom is just like normal roms in X10 right , just flash the kernel the do the format stuff then install right ??
Btw i'm kinda noob i just don't too much about developing !!
Shakira,robynn,mimmi i think its devices internal code name. And i dont know who are robynn and mimmi are but the first name you mentioned was clearly X8!!!
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
Ohh i see , well i just open the phone cover , and there is E15i i think its Shakira like yours , so i will put shakira then , but 1st i think i should unlock my bootloader to load the kernel :/ so it gonna take time to go back to stock lol
Yup good luck! But make sure your X8 is under 11W29 if higher than 29 ect 30 31 and you may hardbrick your X8.
I know its a basic advice but it should remind you about the risks.

i think the main difference about these devices is there firmware? (correct me if im wrong) and Nightly means ROM releases that are unstable and is being changed from it's every release :victory:
Thanks for all the replies, well i fixed the phone like i do to my x10, and i guess it updated to latest version, now its on cm10 shakira, well the main difference between them is the device model i read that in seus, just like X10, got X10i or X10a so thanks any way
