[Q] How to switch from a rom using cm6 to cm7?

Hi all, I recently took the plunge into the world of custom roms and its awesome, so much better then stock
I have flashed my x8 with the Froyo 2.2.1/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 rom by ponanovn and he has just released a new rom Gingerbread 2.3.5/Cyanogenmod 7.1-Pre using cm7, When I first installed the orginal Froyo 2.2.1 I used x recovery and simply renamed the file to update.zip and simply flashed it and it worked however on his page he doesnt say rename the file to "update,zip" anymore and he says make a back up in "cwm recovery" instead of xrecovery is it neccesary to use cwm recovery with cm7? im just a bit confused if anyone could help me I would be gratefull Thanks

Too complicated! Download and install GingerDX instead. It's a FULLY working Gingerbread 2.3.5!

Thanks I was having a look at it before and it seemed pretty good, might just make the change to GingerDX, are you using it? if so are there any bugs etc? cheers

Yes, I'm using v005. SO SMOOTH!!! And 3MP camera!! I have no bugs at all. If you have bugs, make a full wipe.

I can recommend GingerDX as well, it is updated on a regular basis, and doixanh is one of the best ROM developers for X8 currently, he just seems to be able to pull things off that noone expected, like the 3mp camera fix for instance!

I agree, GingerDX is the most complete 2.3 Rom. There is updates nearly every day and each update will preserve your data, no major bugs and if there is DX will sort it.

Thanks for the help

I would suggest GingerDX.
But you can try to use multiboot if you have a class 6 or more sd card instead of changing a ROM.

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

ginger x20 keeps on crashing my apps non stop why?? downloaded 10 apps and 6 of them crashed and had to install again..is this normal?

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

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

Kernel issue

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

[Q] Fastest rom (+battery saving)?

What is the fastest rom for X8 with stock kernel? Should also be battery saving and not ram consuming, but most important: FAST
I dont need a very good looking rom with fancy widgets and lots of functions or setting, just fast and battery saving
Cheers...

PrimeHD i think

For fast and battery saving , use froyo ROMS like froyobread/froyopro

PrimeHD for Stock Kernel is ur answer!

Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Thanks, i'll flash primehd tomorrow as you wrote: "there is going to be v5.4 for all kernels, I will finish up my last checkings and upload the files tomorrow."
So i dont have to flash 5.3 today and 5.4 tomorrow
Just to be sure....i just have to boot into cwm, do a full wipe and install primehds53 (or tomorrow primehds54) and then reboot and let it boot into primehd?
I'm asking this because there is a hotfix file too and somewhere i read that i have to install google apps and i dont know if the hotfix file is ment or not?!
thanks in advance........i'm really looking forward to using primehd
Cheers...

urgent

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!
