hello ,
I know its a stupid Q , but I really dont know what the problem is
at first when I got my device with the stock rom, it was kinda slower than other devices (my friend had one too) but that wasnt a big problem for me even though I updated the software and still there was a bit of a lagg in the device even with no apps installed ..
and then me and my friend installed the floyo ROM version 2.2.5 which supports multi-touch .. my device is still slower than his and the multi-touch thin doesnt work too ..
so I dont know what the problem is seriously !! can any1 give any help ?
thanx
btw, sorry for my bad english !
did u follow the rom installation step extactly??
I mean some rom u have to fullwipe b4 and after install
other rom fullwipe only after install,
and no need to fullwipe also..
try it fisrt..
You might have synaptics. That I'd just pinch to zoom not dual touch
R u sure u have proper cypress
sent from my x8 running gingerdx

synaptics and cypress are the 2 types of Digitizer that are used in our x8 synaptics has fake multi touch but the newer cypress has real multi touch
but there are modules for both.

okay .. guys after reading a little I think I understand better ..
from what I understood , are there multi hardware X8 devices ? I mean some that can do multi-touch and some that dont ?
if that was a yes , then how do I know which one I've got and whats the appropriate ROM to install ?

please welcome to GDX
if your phone is still quite slow, did you use any apps or have a full sd card?
no my friend , the phone was even slow when I first got my device !! and it was slow too before installing any apps :/
then..flash gingerDX v21 the best IMO

not much idea bout custom kernel,how much it boost,mayb 50% ,unless some member who uses tells u dat
and overclocking not necessarily bricks ur phone,it freezes or reboots if u overclock it at an abnormal speed
Hello . i think i bricked my lovely phone . asak it is small brick . i flashed new rom but i think it was requiring unlocked bootloader which i dont have atm. now only sony ericsson is showing on . pls tell me what brick it is and howto get back my phone to my ginger dx v22 or stock .
+ can i unlock bootloader if my phone is 11w36 ??????
+ tell me which rom supports dead space galaxy on fire 2 and blood and glory , cyz ginger dx does fcs them.
please help me
sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance , have nice day.
You did not brick Your phone This new rom doesn't support stock kernel, that's all. If You can't enter to the recovery propably You will have to use SEUS or Flashtool in order to install stock 2.1 ROM and start all the "fun" again with rooting etc.
It's not recommended to unlock bootloader in Your case. It's too risky.
