Hi all !
Having my x8 rooted and xrecovery v1 installed, I could flash the device with GinderDX v13 (install OK). I can see now the first GingerDX skate boarder and then the nice CWM 7 animation.
But, after 3 loops, the display freezes and the ringing bell plays infinetely every 30s (I've waited for 20 mn or so)
Could you help me to get this great ROM started ?
Do I need to update xRecovery or something else ?
Thanks a lot
Full wipe, as always??

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.

Facing a Problem on gingerdx on Linuxdx,

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+???

I find gdx v20 best for day 2 day use
Sent from my MOLEY_X8 using xda premium
for me..
and hightly recomment is GingerDX v20
and when you know after reading thread by thread you can match with kernel
linuxDX, or Alfs kernel, or nAa kernel...
it can simply make your device faster and smootherst
but beware if you new on kernel
(make sure your know what are U doing when playing with kernel and unlock bootloader)
because it can brick you phone!
and then I sure after this you will screaming here and asking how to save your bricked phone!!
here the answer use SEUS
gingerdxv20 for sure

U have to follow installation properly
make sure install GDX with CWM instead Xrecovery
and fullwipe..
or maybe your device 'special' same like my friend phone
(when I flashing GDX 20 and GDX v19 on his phone)
I found this problem = sdcard no show
but when in recovery = all files and folder prety there
and I have no idea why....
Gx with custom kernal no lag 8 day use

CWM? whats that?? i only had xrevocery no CWM ..is it like xrecovery where u click back when you see SE ?
No you need tap on the screen,also you need to have installed.

froyopro incase of daily tasks and battery performance
for me gingerdx v20 is the best rom for x8 super fast and no lag

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when u reboot..
press volume down key or/and tap screen (when u see SE white logo)
u'll see CWM recovery and install GDX by this way
or if u can get into CWM th8 mean U don't have CWM
so install dual recovery.zip first (u can use search button)
or install other rom which one have dual recovery pre install
sorry long explaination
and hit thanks button twice!
thanks! (thanked already )
so in summary ...
open xrecovery and find CWM
if CWM is missing then go donwload it...
is cwm same with xrecovery?or is it and extension?
then use cwm and install the mod instead of xrecovery (do i need to system wipe?)
reboot phone then done?
hmmm just wondering will my link2sd apps will stay?
does it have anything to do with busybox? according to dotsen i must not update busybox
Hi! I unlocked bootloader and installed naaKernel v08. im happy with it but im having one issue. Sometimes (like 1 time per day) my screen "overlapps" like in the image bellow, after i reboot phone its ok though. Is anyone having this problem too?
Thank you
Have you tried fullwipe? Perhaps it's not about Karnel!
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
which rom have you? i think this is rom problem
what is the ROM you are using?may be it's a problem with the launcher too as I think.do you use SE thing as in the photo
It happened with both MiniCM7 and GingerXperiaRay both latest version and with full wipes beetween instaling roms. I think its a kernel bug also because when i installed this kernel i had stock rom and CWMRecovery had this "cuts" in the screen too.
Im thinking of changing to GDX with Alfs kernel though i like GingerRay =s
Same thing happened to me in the Recovery with Naa v08.
It's a kernel bug, you'll have to endure it...
Or try an other kernel like Alfs or linuxDX with an other ROM

Hi,
I am using W8 and using the custome ROM GingerXperia V22 which is beautiful and i really like it. Only thing i am having issue is the call screen lag, When i receive the call or call a contact,all i see is a black screen for couple of seconds. Any idea how to overcome this?
its because you use stock kernel+gingerxperia. same happens with stock+gingerdx
flash alfs06 kernel which i believe is compatible with both ROMS: gingerxperia and gingerdx
i have that problem to with v22 and stock kernel. is there an solution without a custom kernel cause i am afraid of unlocking the bootloader cause chance of simlock and brick

You are right it just seems to be very hard, but after all it takes only 5 minutes to unlock and install custom kernel....i know it coz iv just do it...
you could try apps from the market like Go Contacts ...works well for me!
V23 update
Mi new version is update
flash alfs kernel..
it solves the problem
Can you pls put the link where i can know how to flash the kernels?? tks for the reply.

i rooted my xperia x8 and install link2sd after i setup x recovery and make sure it's installed i reeboted my phone but it's not responding it stops wroking after sony erricson welcome message not the white which u began to press back button but after it
It's a soft brick. Use PCC/SEUS
You should press the back button before the logo multiple time until the logo come out.
Then after you got to the recovery .
Do a full wipe or factory reset using recovery.
Pls. press thanks if I helped!
