[Q] All about Sony w8

Dear all,
Could you guide me sources and/or infos related to Sony w8? I cannot find dedicated forum for this phone. Since it is almost the same to Sony x8, I post my question in this forum. All I want to know is as follow.
1. How to root w8
2. Custom froyo built ROM with wifi tethering support
3. Other tips and tricks
If you can answer or know where I can go for, please help show them.
It is a good smart phone at its value. I bought it at USD190 which is $20 more than x8. But I love glossy black in front and glossy orange back over.
Thanks,

x8 and w8 is the same phone with same software and hardware but different color..you can root it same as x8 and use x8 custom froyo or gingerbread rom..but native wifi tethering is not supported by any rom but you can use barnacle wifi tether from market.

1. Root tutorial
You may use X8's super1click with no problem.
2. I am not sure,try the x8 custom rom if you dare.
3. Just root and use link2sd,it is enough for you daily use,these are what i can say.

Thanks. I will try superoneclick to root my device. I will not dare to install custom ROM for x8 since they are optimized for it only. I will wait till some friends develop one for w8. Link2SD is something I am considering now if I have to wait for froy built or to try it with current 2.1.

try to use ROM X8 in W8
I've tried to use ROM's X8 into my phone W8. Flash result is OK but it doesn't working properly, my SIM card doesn't work. It always change to airplane mode. So Who can fix this problem???

Which ROM are you using?
Are your mobile carrier locked?

ROM for Sony ericsson W8
I used many ROMs such as FroyoBread, KuyaDroid, MiniCM, etc and it has same problem.

go to dev tools and try crashing system

I want to try but I don't have any experience in modding ROM

Superoneclick is not working with my w8. Even it shows success rooting but no root permission. Su command is not working and su running test by superoneclick is also not responding. Superuser is there but useless. Can somebody guide me new ways? I want to install app2sd as soon as possible.

[Q] help ics Bluetooth

Hi .. everybody... first post here at xda Im having trouble getting my Bluetooth
To turn on on my Sgt p1000 ... I'm running ics cm9-sgt7 te4m-rco.20120127 rom
and p1000 cm9 humberos kernel. 20120122 .... when I turn on Bluetooth it just sez Bluetooth turning on.... for several minutes I wait and it never comes on ... I've been following the cm9 thread since the start and I see people are saying they have it working.. I looked back to see if I missed something about Bluetooth not working on the latest build and could not find anything... am I missing something? Has anyone else come across this? Please help thx

You may have already done this, but go to humberOS site and download the latest rom (30th) and kernel. Flash these via cwm then search thee ics thread for humberOS Bluetooth fix and flash via cwm. He posted it an hour or so ago so shouldn't be too hard to find.
Hope that helps?

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1000 new owner: any reccomendation with roms?

Hi everybody.
I just bought my very first tablet- a GT p1000.
Now, in the past few days I've been watching vids about CM9, which I find extremely cool.
As I gather, it is nowhere near completed yet tho.
So, in the meantime, could you suggest some decent looking and 100% working rom for my tablet?
You gotta admit, this forum is not very search friendly.
I have official Froyo installed as of right now, which is not very nice.
Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering ya'll.
Cheers.

just go to the dev thread and see the most popular posts there.
I think Overcome 4.1 is most popular.
You can try Hyperdroid and Accudroid too. All are GB ROMs.

Hi, I'm a newbie as well. Flash mine with Overcome 4.1 and then Hyperdroid a few days later.
My suggestion as a newbie is to use overcome 4.1 if u don't want to use stock rom.
I use Hyperdroid coz using Overcome, I have wifi disconnecting on it's own same like when I use stock GB 2.3.3
PS: Should u choose to use Hyperdroid, mind u it's a very slim rom, many of the standard app is not installed by default. But you can always install the removed applications manually. Hyperdroid has a zip file containing all the standard removed applications.

Thanks both for the suggestions.
I checked both out already.
I also checked aestethic only personalisations via apps and themes and I have to say they're pretty nice too (might just do that while waiting for CM9 in a few weeks).
Is it true tho that official GB has wifi problems?
That's worrying, since I'll be using wifi most of the time.

Wifi issue is hit and miss.
Maybe it is wifi router dependant. Maybe 10%-20% has it.
I am fine using overcome 4.1 with 3 different wifi router.

wifi issue was 100% caused by belkin router.
If you do have belkin router, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441040&highlight=wifi
If you have different router, there shouldn´t be problems with wifi

Thanks for the info.
I have Netgear both at home & workplace.
Not a pressing matter after all anyway as I found out:
I managed to get a 3gb/month with no overlimit charge (only slower speed) for 5 euros/month. That'd should be plenty.
Pretty nice.

Sorry again, but what is the maximum size micro sd I could use on the P1000?
Is it 32 or 64gb?
Thanks.

I can't say, read the threads and take your favorite rom and flash that one first and try others as well before you setup your Phone to use it everyday so you will know what is available and works for you.
Cheers

I've successfully flashed it ..
Now I had CWM recovery on gtab ...

Xperia X8 wi-fi not working(JB Mini Project)

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:

Patience my friend x)
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

[Q] Problems with network search (CM 7.1.0-X8)

Hello everyone,
Recently I have upgrae my phone to CM 7.1.0-X8 (with kernel 2.6.29.6-nAa-11).
Unfortunately I have a problem when I try to browse mobile networks: an error appears (message 'Error while searching for networks'). I cannot log in to a network different than my own (this will cause problem with roaming abroad).
On another forum I have noticed that someone came across this problem on HTC phone and change of a library file (libhtc_ril.so) helped in that case but I neither have this library in my installation, nor it is a SE phone.
Can anyone help in this case? Thanks a lot in advance.

Trying using the latest version of the kernel that would be version 2.6.29.6-nAa-13.
Here is the link to the kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484
And are you using the Official CM7 for you phone? If you are, trying using MiniCM7 its much better.

Yep, I'm using CM7 official Shakira version. Having read your post I'm wondering at the following issues:
1. What are the differences between official CM7 I have installed and Mini CM7?
2. Basically - current instalation works fine, apart from the network selection. Perhaps it would be sufficient to replace a specific library in my installation with another one from Mini CM7 version?
3. Is Mini CM7 better than normal CM7?

Official CM7 is pretty old and discontinued. You can think of MIniCM7 like an update that started when the Official CM7 for the X8 ended. So MiniCM7 is probably better in every way (I say probably because I have never used the Official CM7, but you never hear some one recommend the Official CM7 over MiniCM7). Also a lot of other ROMs are based on MiniCM7 so that says something. Replacing a library will be more complicated than switching Kernel and ROM and who knows if it will even work, you might end up breaking it more than fixing it.

I have upgraded my phone to MiniCM7 version. It has solved all the problems that existed earlier. Apart from problems with network, also the phone speaker is louder (as with the original SE Rom), FM Radio is also present.
Thanks a lot.:good:
