i could make a video if you want. maybe a screen record.but what it basically does is flash kernels. it can inject xrecovery etc. i think the new version can unlock bootloader.i cant remember the rest

GINGERDX v20 should NOT be installed with xRecovery!!!!!!
Leave a thanks if I helped!
Also, as said, if you're still using the stock kernel, you'll need to flash it apart.
Means you need to download X8Gesture (Synaptics) or AX8MT (Cypress).
Install tool box you have a detection phase if you have synaptics or Cypress. Search the forum for it.

how about if use kernel dx?
I got multitouch on my GingerDX v20. Install Flashtool to your PC. And in nstall the GordonsGate drivers. You can read how to unlock it on this specific thread.
You will need the alfs kernel for the multitouch Here it is follow the instructions there.
You will have to follow the instructions in every thread, if you dont you will brick your phone and we wouldnt want that

If i put it like this i have the ability to interact with only 2 fingers so yes i got dual touch thanks for correction
Sent from my X8
Sorry guys but I'm very noob, I did not understand what to do.
The first time I flashed the rom with xrecovery because I followed a Italian guide.
Now I want to flash it again but I want the exact instructions.
Can someone add me on facebook, msn or gtalk to talk quietly? Or explain me step by step how to correctly flash the rom with the multy touch?

Hi guys, I've just load GingerDX v23 over my Floyo.
It seems work fine, but no multitouch nor Wifi Thether work.

Thanks a lot!

[Q] Can someone help me please(xperia x8 crisis)??

Hi guys!!
I'm new here, I found your page cause I am very interested in the update of my xperia x8, I have to say, you're awesome, from 2.1 to 2.3, and I get this ROM "GingerDX v022 2.3.7", i've already checked my kernel and base band, they're both updated,
Well, my trouble is that when I did all the process with xRecovery step by step, after that, I installed the ROM and it got stocked in the gingerdx logo with a short sound and It won't start now, I dont know what to do, otherwise I'm gonna find another ROM that works better than this one,
It would be nice that you can help me with this or recommend me a better one
Thanks!!

Sugesstion to prevent NOOBS brick their phone

Lately,i see many of noobs install a rom in dev sec b4 read what its requirement & end up with bricking.
My suggest, a filter in download link which is direct to some form to tick correctly a requirement for specific roms.(similar with membership form).This form can be determined by dev of the roms & real download link will be open if they tick a right answer.for exp;
Phone model-x8/w8 tick/untick
Root tick/untick
Recovery System
Xrecovery tick/untick
CWM tick/untick
Baseband
xx06 tick/untick
xx15 tick/untick
Unlocked bootloader
Yes tick/untick
No tick/untick
Kernel
Stock tick/untick
Costum(can edit by dev)tick/untick
I know this will be annoying for some of us but prevent is better than cure
Hope colossus will see this & consider it.

Not a bad idea
But it will be very difficult to implement it. Practically impossible as I see it.
This can be done on google docs, create a form there... easy to implement...

Looks like Just SoftBrick dude [hardbrick means when your phone cannot be powered on]
You Relock Bootloader? Unlock it again
Flash ICS nAa Kernel, Flash MiniCM9 as simple is that
Or Using Pcc/SEUS, Flash All again to Stock Rom/Kernel.
Then, Using s1tool, check wheter you phone Already Unlock bootloader or Not.
If Not, Unlock Bootloader First,
If Yes, Flash kernel, Then Rom
Dont Forget to FULL WIPE
Just My opinion

when i turn it on the color of screen changed and became white ...
touch is ok but the colors mixed....

Install ONLY rom for V
Now you must install a new FTF via Flashtool.
Follow these instructions and download FTF here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
Choose 9.1.A.1.140 (android 4.1.2), so you can root and install recovery again

Sorry, you're right, I didn't read well what you wrote.
Are you sure you did clean installation? I mean the wipe voices before flashing with Flashtool, were all selected?
There's a thread for that incident (inverted lcd) that happens when you flash incompatible kernel and tried to reboot. It has something to do with the display driver

This happens when you flash wrong kernel, the display drivers is ruined so the effect is inverted colors, there's a thread how to fix it but it's for Xperia Z1.
