Anyway, back to the thread!
if you need to root your phone.
Dont know what rooting is?
A: Well, it gives you superuser access, like running as a special administrator. having superuser rights means you can also modify your system, installing modification's and much much more.If you would like to root your phone then click here
done that? if you did splendid
right so now you'v rooted your phone you are in top controll now.
if you have cypress multitouch for your x8 then this should activate your special chip: here
if you have synaptics fake pinch to zoom then click this little link: here
great stuff, isn't it!
now to recoveries...
firstly xrecovery. this is sort of the main recovery for our x8. you can install doixanh's roms through it well at least v013 or lower now that he switched and now needs cwm recovery to install now.
you can also install rachts roms as well
Q: How do i install rachts roms because it wont work through updating custom zip ot choosing a custom zip!
A: what you do, is you unrar the file. you can use winrar, or what i have:RAR File Open Knife - Free Opener. which is an open source project that works a treat. my dad uses it too. he told me to get it since its easier to use...
anyway once you unrared the file, put the file into xrecovery>backup and save it to there.
After that, boot into xrecovery on your x8 and go to: Backup/Restore>restore then chose that rom you saved in there.
Q:why are there no more updates for rachts roms?
A: The thread got closed, so there will be no new updates, you will have to make fixes yourself.
Next up cwm recovery: This is hard to get for our phone. it comes preinstalled in gingerdx's roms
if, however you dont use a gingerdx rom, then you can manualy install it by clicking here
cwm is more advanced than xrecovery.
Q: is there anything special i need app i need to get to install xrecovery?
A: Yes! Its called busybox. its from the android market. once you have installed that, open the app and it will come up with which version to install, click the OLDEST version because new versions are not compatible with it. to install and learn a little more click here
the only reason its for x10 mini is because other versions such as v02 and v03 do not work with the x8. and because the x8 and x10 mini are very close relatives!
Did you get any of them?
now to roms:
heres the link to all rachts roms! remember, i said how to install them earlier... here
heres froyobread by doixanh: here
heres gingerdx also by doixanh: this
Install doixanh's roms the normal way>install update.zip
or> custom.zip!
gingercruzt rom: here
gingerxperia rom: here
install these the normal way too.
those are just main and recognized roms. the other roms you will have to search for yourself.
Now for the Questions and Answers!
Q: gingerdx seems to have a battery drain, how do i fix it?
A: battery drain seems only with a few people, boot into xrecovery, do a battery wipe.
Q:What is the best overclock frequency for the x8?
A: 710Mhz, you can go higher if your lucky but most of the time anymore and it becomes unstable.
so 710Mzh is the most stablest...
Q: can i get flash player for my phone?
A: Yes you can! all those people who disagree, they obviously dont research on this stuff! heres the link to adobe flash player 10.2 for armv6: here
Q:can i play gameloft games for my x8 such as modern combat, n.o.v.a?
A: yes you can. i have modern combat sandstorm and N.O.V.A for my phone. just google eg. n.o.v.a hvga
or n.o.v.a x8...
Q:help! iv bricked my x8, what do i do???
A: if you can get onto the se logo then boot into xrecovery and restore a working backup.
if that didnt work, restore it through seus (sony ecricsson update service)
Q:should i update the su binary?
A: no, for lots of people it leaves them with a broken su without working binary! never do that.
Q: there seems to be a camera bug in my rom!
A:lots of roms have trouble with camera.apk! also devs found it hard to make a new one so they started porting stock eclair's camera.apk and modifying it to make it work and look like a froyo or gingerbread camera
Q: which is rom is most dtable for our x8 out of froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb and ics?
A: Froyo because its a next platform up which makes it more stable and run faster, although there are some pretty good gingerbread roms out there, i myself use gingerdx. honeycomb is really no point sice it was made for devices with bigger screens and ics is out there it will just run like a snail racing an athlete...
Q:my market isnt working, it wont install the app/apps i want, iv tried everything but still it wont work!
A:click this
it should work, its the old market from android 2.1 i think. i must give a thanks to dimitrisioa for providing an answer to a question with this situation. he provided the link, thanks man
Q: what is freexperia and fxps cm7 project?
A: its a cm7 rom. The only reason I don't have it is because they rerote the entire kernal and ect. There is a link to their rom in the 3rd post
Q: my wifi keeps on switching on and off! is there any solution?
A: yes, try doing a full wipe in xrecovery/cwm. if that doesn't work then try wiping davlik cache/cache.
if that doesn't work then reinstall the rom. do both wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
if that doesn't work then find a wifi fix or get a new rom.
Q: got a question?
A: post it here!!
just remember, we dont accept trolling or flame wars here.

FOR TESTING AS I DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PHONE SENT TO ME YET
Based on 03D gingerbread. Heavily themed with a stock like look... just does not have a stock LG look.
This is not my first rom. I have modded and/or ported roms for the x10 and the motorola bravo. I am slowly getting used to lg files.
This rom is a diet of the original with some tweaks. Thanks to all the other developers in the thrill and o3d Roms. My base file is used gingerbread 21a with some parts of framework from THAIZ (used mainly for battery step xml. It is overclocked with THAIZ kernel and picked up on some modding tricks from several developers. You can use most gingerbread kernels from 03D with this rom. I will add miscellaneous files to be added later i.e. games, and apps.

Must have cwm recovery to install and already be on the gingerbread baseband or Gingerbread 03D rom from kdz. Tutorials for gingerbread are in the development section of 03d and thrill. This install does not erase data so you may have to manually erase in recovery menu depending on what rom you come from. PLEASE USE APN BACKUP AND RESTORE IN MARKET BEFORE INSTALLING
Just put in sdcard and install as zip in recovery.
Widgets and other files that can be installed by market are not included in rom.

I find it to be pretty much bs that GB is out yet to get official ATT update we have to wait for them to dumb down the system and add their bloat. I probably wont even update to it when it comes out i will just flash baseband and keep this euro open version, much nicer not being restricted.

Do you have the gingerbread baseband?
i'm wondering what tweaks need to be applied to the o3d rom to make it stable on our thrill.
I'm happy with King 3D except I have a wierd battery issue. When I reboot the device, i lose 30% of my battery and have to recharge. It seems like a software issue because on stock roms that issue doesn't happen.
King 3D is an 03D rom, so im thinking its something slightly different, perhaps you've cracked it.
I don't know what he did to tweak his Rom.. Probably a memory leak causing it

Hello guys,
I am having the same problem as mafiadesi: I HAVE NO PHONE OR MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTIVITY. AND ALSO, MY HOME SCREEN AND ALL THE SCREENS DOES NOT SHOW THE NOTIFICATION BAR.
"1. i have no network connection. im an AT&T customer, but im not getting any signal or data. when i go into the APN setting area, it says "reorganizing internal processes. please try again after a short while."
This is what I did, I restored my Thrill to the Android 2.2 stock, and then I used this method on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343915
It worked fine to get to the stock android 2.2.
Then i used his step 23 to install the O3D ROM. It looked okay, but it had no mobile connectivity neither.
"23. Boot into CWM recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, install zip from sdcard, choose zip from internal sdcard, select Rom. Reboot system and enjoy."
I used the GB_P920.zip to get to the O3D rom.
So, I repeated the method to go to new GBP925 using the same method, and like I said, the cellular modem or radio and the notification is not showing.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG, AND WHERE I COULD FIND THIS BASEBAND, AND HOW TO INSTALL IT, IF YOU THINK THAT IT IS MISSING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Maybe try the kdz method first.

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried the KDZ method of this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
I used the V21A_00.kdz file ... and I had no error messages that I could noticed,... It finished the upgrade, and then the phone rebooted and stayed on a loop, with teh LG logo and the lg animation... I tried removing the battery and but now it is stuck on this loop boot.
I tried the recovery mode, (Vol - + Power button) and it goes to the Android recovery, and no longer the CWM recovery. The only option now is the to errase all data. But even that option is not available.. the Power button option to say Yes does not respond, so the only option is the pull the battery.
I am stuck.. please help me. any ideas?
I am thinking about going back to Stock 2.2, if i can do that.. i will try it now.
Hello Community,
I've installed a time ago GingerDX v22
on my Xperia X8. Now theres a new Version out (v24).
I wanted to ask if I should update/upgrade the
version on my phone just with the option Install update.zip
or should I do it like the first installation with full wipe and so on...
And if I should the update.zip will it kill my data and my apps installed on?
Thanks for quick answers that will help.
Greets xdix
PS.: Sorry for my bad english if it is bad... xD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've just tried it.
At my phone it worked without full wipe.
But but I think not everywhere it will work so fine. But if
you don't want to lose all your data (e.g. apps)
just try it. But without warranty that it will work so...

You don't need to make full wipe if you are just updating the version of the ROM. If you are changing the ROM, then a full wipe is needed.
Can you please tell me how it's working, cuz im on GingerDX v022 and i wanna try v024

haha yes im using swype on my tablet so there went something wrong i think
CHANGED!
i flashed the latest error prone cwm and luckily didn't have any issues. now im contemplating flashing back the old one 6.0.0.8 i think but i don't want to risk getting a brick whilst flashing back the old cwm.
does the brick only occur when formating something? is there any further info on that.
i think i will just keep my tab running as it is for the time being until there really is the need to flash sth (ie ics 7300 coming out) then i will try and go back to the old cwm

i have problem after using cm10 preview and the cmw from kallt_kaffe thread , it's probably cmw that caused the problem because JB was running smooth without any issues but when i tried to restore the stock HC the cmw stuck for some time but i was able to return back to HC .
after this the device was lagging a lot and couldn't enter cmw again the screen was black but the device still wasn't dead , i managed to turn it off and reboot it again and used it for two days before it's completely dead and connects only as APX device, i will try you the first method you posted and post back here .
there also this method form tab 10.1 sections for the unlocked devices: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574]
my device is locked and can't Bass (rcm version 0x4) error . so if there is anyone can help figuring out or providing the secure boot key for the locked devices that will be great .
Im not really sure what makes this bugs happen..
But this issues is not new for me in galaxyNOTE gt n7000 and Sgs2 I9100 we call this as EMMC superbrick..
It happen in ICS kernel stock if you operates some EMMC_CAP_ERASE in kernel such as wiping your data or system.. Format.. Or deleting large file in recovery operation or factory reset in EMMC with firmware revision 0x19(firmware of this chip)..
It cannot recover with regular utility like JTAG coz This superbrick makes EMMC faulty in /data partition or /system partition blocks..
If you go to Samsung Service Centre.. Your device should be on mainboard replacement..
Sorry for my english.. You could use this app for testing your emmc has a bug or not..
If you had the emmc bug.. Dont use any recovery from ICS sources until someone with expert knowledge confirm that everything is fine..
Please read this thread for complete issues and discuss..from recognized developer entropy512

Edit:
After testing i got my EMMC had a bugs warning from chainfire got brick bug app...

I can't recall reading that before... What happens if you would do so?
Kallt_kaffe is currently recommending 6.0.0.8, post 2 of cm9 thread.
I heard of changes in the nandroid backup file structure in 6.x that I don't like, personally, but that's IMHO I'm still on 5.1 because the menu structure of 5.5.0.4 is incomplete (e.g. no shutdown)

From what I remember from the cm10 or AOSP JB thread, somebody tried to use cwm 5. to flash cm10 and he was getting error massage and cwm won't let it flash. That is why persoot and KK recommend cwm 6.
Could someone confirm using the good old CWM 6.0.0.8 or below and has flash ICS kernel and do wipe recover and survive the brickbug? Thanks.

Could you tell us what is the best way to flash back to CWM 6.0.0.8? Do you use cwm 6.0.1.2 or Odin? Thanks

Hi,
About a year ago I bought my wife an i9000 off ebay. It is the UK unlocked version. It came with the stock rom. I rooted it and have installed various different roms over the year. At first, the phone was fine, but its gradually got slower and now, it's almost unusable. The phone constantly lags, hangs, crashes etc. It drives the wife up the wall and I get it in the neck.
I finally decided to go back to the last official gingerbread rom to see if that would help (XXJVU), but its the same.
I am starting to think that the phone simply isn't powerful enough to run today's versions of the apps a smartphone should be able to run. Her list of 'must have' apps, on top of what's installed as standard is as follows:
Apps that will run in the background:
Facebook app and widget
accuweather app and widget
BBC news app and widget
stock calander widget
viber
Apps that will be opened and closed:
skype
memoires diary app
adobe reader
google translate app
samsung mobile print app
CTK (Czech news app)
Is this list of apps excessive? Should an i9000 be able to run today's versions of these apps without any problems? A lag here and there won't bother her, it's the freezing and crashes that drive her crazy.
If the above should be possible, could someone recommend a ROM or ROM/kernel combo that would work? I don't care if its stock or custom, or what version of android it is, I just want the phone not to freeze.
Thanks

My suggestion is gamerzrom ive been running it and its perfect no freezes or crashes and ive been running much more than you mentioned above. The phone is still going strong

Hi, if u already suitable with flashing, then its easy, GB got really good sense on videos n app but its to buggy to use, Using ram manager n sometimes reboot ur fone will clearing cache so ur fone will be fast again, but only on limited time. Cache will start to bulky n slowing down da fone.
If ur familiar with flashing, then upgrading ur fone to ICS or JB is wise decision. As 4.x Android have a good ram manager n easy to use, and did say, clearing cache would be good but sometimes check ur internal sd if it get too bulky. Insufficient space will makes operation apps to became failure as app need space to launch either in RAM or sd.
and still, if ur fone still became lag or slow, after upgrading, i suggest u use some script available here in XDA to make ur fone systems manageble like supercharger or fly on script.
but be xtra careful and read carefully before doing something. Doesnt want to risk bricking ur fone rite, so Good Luck

Thanks for your replies.
So what is your modification?
Juz choose any custom ROM in dev section, as for me, i juz using nightlies with supercharger and script by slaid, thats all, but really, da post before juz for jokin, and if u wanna to gain it, u need to OC ur fone.
There are tons of quite dependable custom ROM out there, try every one of it. as i also do da same before. and decide it on ur own

Ok, I've installed the latest slim bean, and I want to try the mods you suggested above. Could you explain what you've installed from slaid and supercharger?
Have you patched services.jar?
It all looks a bit complicated to me..
Thanks.

Its known that antutu scores and any benchmark scores mean nothing the performance shows in games. Benchmark scores change if you make 50 tests itl be always different .
Yes i suggest gamerzrom because it has everything in one package no scrips needed. The dev tried everything out and used only the best in his rom and so far its flawless

GamerzRom it's closed at the moment.
I haven't tried it so I can't comment on it's performance.
I've flashed countless Roms and in my experience I'm most satisfied with C-RoM Mix.

if u choose GB, just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273317 and choose any 2 attached link (CM or Stock (not both) ) then choose what Ram Manager u wanna use and copy it to internal sd. Boot to recovery and flash RAM MANAGER first, then da Fly On script after. Reboot. Thats all.
If u from ICS/JB Rom (custom or stock)
Hav u rooted? Root first and update ur superuser binary. And ur chosen rom must have kernel that support init.d (see if u got init.d folder in /system/etc/ thats all. or juz ask ur ROM dev
1. Download script manager from GPlay
2. Download this script (.sh) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1200973&d=1342401278 and dont change anything. Save da script inside root of internal sd
3. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273317 and download da 1 of 2 last attachment (choose it, CM or STOCK depend on ur ROM. Most custom rom based on CM Nightlies)
4. Choose any RAM Manager u wanna used (for me its hard multitasking)
5. save it at da root of ur internal sd.
6. Run script manager and choose da script from supercharge RC10, dont forgot to tick da skull (permission from superuser).
7. Read carefully da instruction in script manager. As it will tell u everything, u can choose no for all except da one that change ur services.jar, click yes for it.
8. After da script done, it will ask u to reboot. Juz say no and it will come back to da main menu, Now u can choose again of 34 option (maybe got more option, i juz forgot about it) from script. Juz see da option to unsupercharger and choose it (coz u just want it to patched da services.jar, not to use da supercharge. Only RC10 have da option to alter da services.jar quite easily or if u wanna da hard way, see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16635544&postcount=2 )
9. Follow any of da instruction. , it juz wanna to revert back to normal, except for da services.jar
10. Reboot. Now u hav alter ur services.jar.
Now reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
1. In recovery, choose to install zip, dan choose RAM MANAGER first.
2. After it done, choose da fly on script and flash it.
3. Reboot after it done.
in case of update da script,
1. delete da RAM Manager in /system/etc/init.d and delete file named ram_manager. (or if ur recovery got option to clear init.d juz pick it.)
2. Reboot to recovery and as usual, repeat da above instruction (juz for da script, altering services.jar already been done) and dont forget, any changes must be followed by wiping cache.
thats all and if in case u dont hav guts to try, dont do it.
Wow. Thanks for the detailed instructions!
I have followed them and done everything you said. The phone seems to run a lot smoother now. I just hope that it stays that way and doesn't start to slow down after time.
The slim rom comes with the semaphore kernel which does not seem to have the ability to overclock. Can I install a new kernel with that rom to enable overclocking?
Thanks
Semaphore can overclock the system. However it needs it's own app - semaphore manager. With that app you'll get a few nifty features on top so it's worth downloading anyway.
find semaphore manager from stores
however, any circumstances occur over OC will not be my reeponsibilities.

screenlock on i9000 and way forward
Hi guys,
cool to see there are still some SGS activities going on with that device. Since I have my GNEX I did not look at my SGS anymore.
So, had it in my hands yesterday and thought about updating it.
Problem I have is: I can not access the phone anymore because I dont remember the screenlock anymore (numbers) ;-(
The phone is fully rooted and unlocked with a
Darky Rom and
Dark kernel
Via the lockscreen I can boot to Recovery (CWM) or Download mode (as well as via the buttons of course)
Question: is there a similar tool like the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit for backing up or do a nandroid with the SGS?
I guess I have 2.3.x version running currently.
Well the external SD i backuped already - but I am afraid there is still some stuff i would like to get before wiping..
Would be great if you could help me out.

Lol man, you can't use official Facebook app on the phone, It's the slowest s*it ever made . Use m.facebook.com in browser, or any alternative Facebook client instead, official Facebook app kills all the performance .
Install GamerzROM, delete the MORPH folder from the .zip file BEFORE installation. Do NOT restore any apps using TitaniumBackup or similar. If your phone gets too slow, use Clean Master to clean the cache, that helps too (use especially this app!). Do NOT use custom launcher, use Xperia launcher, which is pre-installed in GamerzROM, it's really fast . Do NOT install any additional performance tweaks, because the best ones are pre-installed in GamerzROM.
My phone is blazing fast with these settings, hope I helped . BTW také jsem z České Republiky, zdravím
Edit: I just noticed that there ain't no download link for GamerzROM 3.0, so you can just wait for the next release .
Hello guys,
I am brand new here,as after 3 years of owning a X8 i decided to jump to other ROM,because i was bored of the simple design of his menu and i was so frustrated to stay back with android market when my friends had messenger for facebook e.g.,i had to refresh again and again my opera..and much more apps and games i would like to play.So,i decided to start searching for new ROMs,and i found MIUI,but i wasnt able to find a stable version to dl for my phone.Then i found JB Mini Project,I succeeded on installing it on X8 but there is one thing that wont work in every version of JB i have tried!THE WI-FI!It is really frustrating for me!I am so begginner to those things,but i understand that its not only me that will have this problem and that developers might be working on it right now(I am 3D designer and i know about beta versions of things,even I have to release again and again my creation because of a bug),but i really hope someone had this problem too and found a fix on it..I tried a fix i found in forums with Titanium Backup,but nothing...
Anyone knows anything..just help me out with this.:crying:
Thanks in advance guys!:cyclops:

What wifi problem do you have? Unable to detect Adhoc connection?
Have You tried this Kernel + Rom ? (All JB rom is unable to scan adhoc wifi. Except if you make changes to the source and compile it yourself)
If you want to surf the internet but with not using wifi and using a cable, This is a Post for you.
use back stock ROM (just kidding

Maybe the rom + kernel combination is wrong or the rom is just being buggy.
I just personally liked nAa's work because he release a stable version of every product.
If you want to change into the recommended rom that I just told you;
1. Flash the latest kernel (06)
2. Follow instruction on the kernel post. (/system wipe at recovery before flashing a rom & etc)
3. Flash the rom. Followed by the GAPPS
4. As it said, this is my recommendation steps. I do not guarantee your satisfactory
