Hi guys!
I have a xperia x8 and tried installing the GingerDX v008 all day long with no luck, I've rooted the phone, I tried using xrecovery, clockwork mod, but it's not installing the zip file ... the only rom which i already have successfully installed on my device was floyo 1.0. I tried extracting the contents in different folders (as for floyo, the only way to install it, was when i put it in /xrecovery/backup) ..and then installing it - it didn't work, I tried installing them from the zips - also didn't work. I tried several roms v007, v001, CM7 ..they all didn't work. I want to know should I have something preinstalled before "updating"
I mean floyo was a few img files and md5 file including them, the update zips had only folders with files, and if I tried restoring the system, it don't find md5 checksum.
...I tried installing it on fully wiped and bricked phone - still nothing .. the error is Status 7 or something like that
What xRecovery version are you using?
You installed busybox, chargemon and xRecovery before trying to install roms?

xRecovery-mini-0.1-beta
I installed busybox, but not chargemon
I took this from this thread.
Download THIS: http://ul.to/l7wf2z6q
That pack has everything you need.
YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS
Installing xRecovery is the first step in the world of custom ROMs. Installing xRecovery also means if you are stuck in a bootloop, you can just recover to a working backup.
The first step is to download xRecovery mini-beta 0.1 (any other version WILL NOT work on your X8) (download available at the top of the thread).
Next, download Root Explorer (download available at the top of the thread).
Copy both the xRecovery folder and the Root Explorer .apk to your SD card.
Install any file manager from the Android Market (I recommend OI File Manager or Astro) and use it to browse to the Root Explorer .apk file and install it.
Run Root Explorer, browse to the xRecovery folder and copy the 3 files inside onto the /system/bin folder.
xRecovery is installed. To start xRecovery you press the Back button while the Sony Ericsson logo is showing during boot. Restart your phone and just keep tapping the back button repeatedly.
To move around in xRecovery you use the volume buttons, to select an item you press the Home button (the middle one), and to go back you press the Back button. Go ahead and make a backup of your current system (make sure you have at least 300MB of free space on your SD card.
You'll find the backup you just made in the xRecovery/backup folder. Name it something you can identify (don't use spaces). Copy that backup onto somewhere safe on your PC.

I guess that the 3 files that he talks about that you need to copy to /system/bin should be: busybox, chargemon, xRecover.tar.
(at least I did that and no problems occured).

Installation Instructions:
1st method (CWM):
1. Download the MADbootanimation_Rfix.zip file (anywhere) in SdCard.
2. Battery must be above 60% or 70%.
3. Reboot into CWM recovery and select update.zip and follow the path where you downloaded the MADbootanimation_Rfix.zip and select.

5. Done! now reboot.
2nd method (root explorer):
1. Device must be rooted.
2. Find any root explorer and install.
3. Enable root permissions.
4. Download two files(bootanimation_Rfix.zip and android_audio.mp3 in SdCard.
5. Rename bootanimation_Rfix.zip to bootanimation.zip.
6. Copy and follow the path system/media/"..." overwrite files.
7. Done! now reboot.
NOTE:
Plz read carefully as you are doing this at your own risk if you want to blame me you are always welcome !!!
If you want to backup your current bootanimation file then simply rename or copy somewhere else.
Don't do reboots just to see the bootanimation as reboots effects battery life so i made a gif animation and to hear with audio, a youtube link is uploaded.
Flashable file(MADbootanimation_Rfix.zip) (CWM recovery) and two files(bootanimation_Rfix.zip and android_audio.mp3) (root explorer) are provided in below links.
For 2nd method download bootanimation_Rfix.zip and rename to bootanimation.zip.
Hit my thanks meter and enjoy
All flashable files resides in 'system/media/"...." only'.
For different roms who have different places like data/local/"...." select the 2nd method of installation process.
Full animation preview may differ on different roms depending upon time of booting to lockscreen.
I do not have streak7 and havn't use any yet but i hope it's pretty same and will work for S7 so nandroid backup is recommended.
Follow all the steps carefully as we are all not PROFESSIONALS.

If I read this correctly I must be rooted to work??
IF so that I just want to say thanks for from the ones that use this on rooted machines!
I have tried all the steps and can not seem to root my device via the USB process and none of the rooting processes I have been pointed to work from the SIM CARD, on my factory Referbed 3.x installed WiFi device.

the wifi variant of the device doesnt have a SIM card slot, I suggest you know the names of what you are using before you ask for help, if you cant tell the difference between an SD card and a SIM card you probably shouldnt be f***ing around with stuff on here, just saying that it'd be for the best if learnt some more basic stuff before you did anything
I always admired this boot animation! Great work. You should give credit to Dell...not! haha

## knowing about some general things ---
>>>> where to add kernel in ur rom ---- outside the system folder [where u will find some files like bmlunlock,installbusybox ,flash_image,etc....
kernel = boot.img
>>>>> goto -- META-INF/com/google/android/
and u will find a file named as "updater-script"
this is the main script for flashing rom....
our cwm approaches this file & perform tasks as directed in it.....
1. open it with notepad/notepad++...
2. now nothing is understandable by u.....
3. but remember one thing -- ui_print("");
this statement is used to print text on cwm log screen
[ like ui_print("simplicity rom"); ]
4. u can change it to ur rom name & even u can add some more statements like this to ur script to print something.....
>>>>> goto -- system/etc/
and u will see many folder & files......
1. init.d folder -- conatin all the scripts that will run during startup...
init.d folder may be not there but u can create to add scripts....
[for using these scripts, u need to add custom kernel instead of stock one]
2. host file -- it can allow or block ads on ur device [its same as windows host file]
>>>>> what is ---
T9DB folder --- conatin files for ur stock keyboard....
CSCFiles.txt, CSCVersion.txt, SW_Configuration.xml, csc folder contain ur csc version,etc...
so u can delete them too [ no harm to ur rom ]
## removing ads from free apps in ur rom-----
1. the easiest way is just install adsaway.apk from market to ur phone then run it....
2. allow superuser request
3. then remove ads using some options given thier...
4. after removing apps restart ur device.....

## adding kernel to ur rom ---------
$$$$$ CUSTOM KERNEL $$$$$
most important thing for rom developer is that a custom kernel which support features...
rom functionality depends on kernel i.e boot.img & modules files present in system/lib/modules folder.....

gps not working.........
camera settings r small.....
etc.....

You have snatched my words
I feel all sections filled up by ROMs without any need of them
I myself made 3 ROMs
But never uploaded them as they were nothing compared to the ROMs available
And also due to 16 kb/s connection
