hello everyone!!
i just got myself a SE w8 .. i rooted it and installed x recovery... now my question is can i use custom roms for x8 on my w8.. which of the gingerbread custom roms have all things working with minimal bugs.. I read somethings and i felt ginger dx to be almost fully functional.. I would appreciate if someone can hellp me please..
Everything that applies for the X8 applies for the W8 too. They are pretty much the same phone.
they have identical hardware so means what is applicable to X8 will be applicable to W8. they were like twins.. ^^
proven and tested by me!

I had the same problem and I tried and succeeded by doing following steps:
go to xrecovery,
select '- Backup and restore' > '- Advanced Restore' > backup from list > '- Restore boot'
Thats all - repeat by selecting different backup with the above steps until you succeed.

On my Sony Ericsson W8 I can't install kyuaDroid, GingerXperia, MiniCM and etc. I can only install GingerDX and FroyoBread. When I try to install the roms which I mentioned above all (except GingerDX and FroyoBread) are giving error like this " This rom is not compactable with your baseband. Update first to M7XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015".
But I have the SAME baseband.
How to solve it ?
My W8 is rooted and has Unlocked bootloader. What should. I do ? I should change kernel ? Or something?
As I'm a noob I don't know How to solve this.. So please help me as soon as possible.
Wow, no one replied? I'm having the same problem mate...

some roms need to be installed with cwm not xrecv, and custom kernels too, perform a fullwipe before and after flashing any rom
I found the same problem. I use CWM and it works for me fine in installing different ROM's

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 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
whats your phone date? if it is less than 11W29 and you know to read a few steps in english, you will be fine

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.

Did you use the latest version of superoneclick ? Try different versions , and see.
Still if you can't root , then
I don't know but maybe the X8toolbox may help.
Although I do NOT know for sure if it will or will not work. You can try.
You may as well root with puppett13th's x8toolbox.
I just rooted my friend's X8 with it.

i dont know how to use flashtool..is there guideline or instruction set to be followed, then it will be more helpful..to start wifi again.
@bosky_itsme
You only can flash a kernel If u have unlocked your bootloader.
There is a guideline for how to use flashtool to Flash roms, kernel..etc
Search in General Section.
For your WiFi problem,
flash your rom again or do a factory reset. If it wouldn't solved the problem, see for the bugs GDX v21b thread.
Good Luck to you.
@OP
Have you installed the drivers?
If even superoneclick (latest) doesn't work for you, then try to use X8toolbox or Flashtool
Good Luck.

Hello there, i have a problem with gingerDx v29, im using v28 atm with alfs v09a, so far so good, but when i instal v29 i get a com.android.phone error as soon as i put the ping and then the error keeps looping. i tryed re-instal, wipe data, (wipe everything that i could with CMW actualy) but it still doesnt work, i read the forum in order to find an answer but didnt find it with this SO, (also tryed a solution that seams to work in others so like fix permisions). How do i solve this?
I really hate to bother but its been 5 days and i can make it work.
Thanks in advance!

download the libsensor patch
download the addon
put the rom, the libsensor patch and the addon in ur sd card
flash the kernel
start in cwm
go to instal zip option, instal the rom, the libsensor and the addon
restart
enjoy
i just did it and its working fine but im finding a strange bug though, my screen seams to be moving a little bit to the left everytime :X

alfs v9a
im having a little screen moving problem, i think its the kernel alfs v9a, i'll try v8 and let you know
Edit; Alfs v8a solves the problem
Hey guys i'm having the same problem with the screen moving bug, it moves to the right a little bit. I tried alfs v8 and it solved the problem but I still don't think it's the best answer since the combo gdx v29 and alfs v8 has A LOT of battery drain on 3g and sync on (in 8 hours it drains 90 percent of the battery just in standby).
Is there any other thing I can do to fix this screen problem? If not i'll just go back to stock kernel

Hey thanks for answering, I'm on demand right now, and the cpu is set to 122 mhz min and 691 mhz max (basically I didn't change anything). Any other ideas?
Pretty weird bug I hope there's a good fix for this, cos alfs v9+ is the kernel with the best performance I've tested so far.
