Hi,
as in the topic, is it possible to use wifi teethering now on a X8? I understand that the bootloader hat to be unlocked, which seems is possible to do now.
Can anyone please point me into the right direction?
What must I do?
- unlock the bootloader?
- install a new kernel (or does that come with any ROM already?)
- which ROM do you consider me to get?
Thanks.
1.Unlock bootloader
2.Flash GingerDX with LinuxDX
3.Use Barnacle wifi tether
Is it still not possible to use the Android built in teethering method on the X8 with some on the latest Rom's then?

On FXP ROM after 028, it is possible to use it
If he use barnacle wifi, it's not necessary to do something else. Barnacle works with different way.
Otherwise he must do the steps that you propose.

Hi, thanks for the info.
it seems as if the developement of FXP Rom is stopped now, as Cyanogenmod released a port for the X8 device today? (which currently isn't downloadable at http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira) ?
So should I wait until I can get CM, as it is supposed to work with that also, right?
I have already put another Rom on my X8 a few months ago, is there anything else I need to do now?
As the bootloader got unlocked.. Is there something I need to do to make CM7 and wifi-teethering to work then?
Sorry.. for my dumb question.. But the X8 is not my main phone.. I really only need it for wifi-teethering

The ROM FXP 043 has a built-in option for WiFi Tethering in WiFi and Network Settings.

and reboots instantly when u turn on wifi?
Install barnacle...you do not need your bootloader unlocked with it
I do not advise you to install fxp rom and kernel because that are no stable

I have 2 X8 (Me and My daughter) - both with GingerDX (v017, v014), stock kernel, no unlocked boatloader and Burnacle works very well for Me (usually I tether My GSM data to My daughter in a car)

hmm ..
i have GingerDX V18 and i cant tether my connection to my ipod
Barnacle starts .. ipod finds wifi and connect but no internet
I got it. Connected with my ipod. When it was trying to connect i just click associate but i dont know if it have something to do with it. Give it a try
Wifi tether - no interent connection
I have X8 E15i
- unlocked bootloader
- full wipe
- miniCM 2.1.5 installed
Works perfectly, but i can connect to the X8 with wifi from a notebook, but no internet connection. (I tried barnacle, with the same result... I tried with and w/o WPA, same result ... )
Edit: Finally, i can use wifi tether with X8.

No, Killjoy is talking about the more-or-less discontinued CyanogenMod for the Xperia X8 (from the FreeXperia Team).
If you want to install it (not recommended, the ROM is highly buggy and feature incomplete), you need to unlock your boot loader to install the FXP kernel to make the ROM work ... as for installation ... simply search the forum, there are some installation guides around.
You could also give WiFi Tether a try ... I had it working on GingerDX v019 through v021 by using the 3.1 Beta version (though in my case it was the 3.1-pre105).
NOTE: If you're on Stock you at least need to root the ROM!
Barnacle work fine for me, other phones discover me normal... gdx 19-21

yeah i was talking about the rom B.Jay was talking about, i've used it for months and found no errors or bugs so far, it does great at what i want it for which is music, texting, general internet use and wifi tether. Barnacle is so slow on my X8, which is why i changed to this, make sure you turn on the "Auto Associate" in the settings then it'll refresh every 5 second util a device connects. if not, try PDANet and use wired tether.
i would greatly suggest unlocking bootloader + nAa kernel + cm7-2.1.6!!
try it!!

hello, i had the same problem once with CM7. Go on to settings-wifi and networks-wifi settings then press the options button on your phone then click advanced, then click wifi sleep policy and click NEVER.
IF that ^^ didn't work then go to recovery mode and do a factory wipe.
IF that ^^ didn't work then just install a different rom.
thank if it helped

Hi,
I'm not able to activate tethering WiFi on my x8. I see a string error below the tethering WiFi when i tap on it.
Is there any log i can check for?
I have gingerDx v030 shakira
Which kernel you are using?
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
GingerDX v30 have tethering and portable hotspot function but it won't work just because you are on the stock kernel..
If your phone manufacture date is not 11W29 or higher (11W30,11W31,..), you can unlock your bootloader and flash a new kernel with flashtool made by developers. Otherwise, you can only use stock kernel so stop dreaming about wifi-tethering but you can use Barnacle wifi tether app on the play store to tether with other devices.
If your phone can BL unlock, try downloading kernel like Alfs and flash it and install GingerDXv30 not for stock kernel apps and flash some mods for alfs kernel via CWM recovery.
I'm 18 and I don't know really know much about this android world but I share this with my brain and my kindness to you in detail by each process.
Press thanks if I helped you out
by the way use third party apps like barnacle and tethering and many other just search in playstore

Try this. I'm not sure it will work, but it's worth a shot. Credits: BlackRabbit1703 for the idea.
Grab the sdio.ko, tiwlan_drv.ko, tiap_drv.ko files from system/lib/modules. Place them in any other ROM and try connecting to your school network. If it works then you have "ported the WiFi drivers".
