[Q] CyanogenMod on Xperia X8 Help [Newbie] - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am completely new to XDA and want some information about the CyanogenMod before I try it. I have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 (Model: E15i) running on Android 2.1-update-1 and I am getting bored of it so I researched about customisations and launchers etc...Eventually I found out about the CyanogenMod and checked out reviews and it was all good. Now I am thinking of trying it out-but first I need some information of it's features and how it works specifically with the X8.
Below I will list the main features I am looking for could anyone confirm them that Cyanogen 7.1 has them on the X8.
- Multitouch/Dualtouch
- Email
- Web browser
- Android Market + Apps *VERY IMPORTANT*
- Other standard features that most smartphones have (e.g. camera app)...
In addition does CyanogenMod 7.1 work properly on the Xperia X8-what I mean to say is that is it stable and are there any major bugs/drawbacks?

What do you mean by need OC for better gaming?

Is the CM 7.1 stable on the X8? Also is there a safe step by step walkthrough on how to install it, if yes can someone provide the link.
Thanks.

Yes to all,except multitouch. By default, out X8's hardware is not capable for dual touch. Most roms have managed to fake a dual touch which you can use in the web browser or the photos.
Cyanogen has all these features you mention, it's like having a normal rom plus some extras...
Yes it is stable.Very. As for the link, you go to www.cyanogenmod.com, you choose your devide and install the rom.There are threads here explaining how to root, install xrecovery and then install the rom you want.

Thank-you for the quick reply everyone, your help is appreciated. Although I have one more question, can anyone provide me a link for a CyanogenMod 7.1 installation walkthrough that actually works (so its tried and tested)?
I checked on the internet and found so many i dont know which one(s) to choose.

hello, i have a little problem with my x8. i have make it dualtouch but when i turn off my phone and turn it on again, the dualtouch function is gone. i must use the terminal emulator to make the dualtouch happen again. can i make the dualtouch function directly after i on my phone back??? (sorry for bad english)

Use root explorer and go to System/etc and open a file called hw_config.sh in R/W mode. Then whatever you typed into terminal to activate dual touch, enter that into the file. For example if you have synaptics you would go to the bottom and type insmod system/lib/modules/x8gesture.ko and save.

Hello all
Here I will share the rom cyanogenmod for our mobile phones.
This rom is based on the work of tickerguy, by modifying the frameworkbase to be run on our mobile phones.
Almost everything can be said to be working
And that is not running
-HDMI
-Fm Radio
How to flash rom
- Flash it with cwm recovery.
- Do not forget to make nandroid backup.
- Before the flash, do a full wipe of data.
- If you are coming from a previous CM7 build I strongly suggest formatting /system and wipe dalvik cache.
- Always do reflash gapps.
Recommended Gapps :
http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Gapps with gtalk audio/video ability
http://www.multiupload.com/MYPOK7TFPF
Recovery:
I'm using clockworkmod recovery from tjstyle.
Credit
- Obviously many thanks to Cyanogenmod team.
- Tikerguy and ikarosdev that already provide source code on github, thank you very much
- Tjstyle, for new kernel source, recovery and which gives way first to our phone, to be run with a custom rom.
More info about this rom

FC'S on Market :
If you experience fc's on market
Change the phone's language from Hd (English) (the default) to English (United States)
go to setting -> Language & keyboard -> select language -> English (United States) or your local language.
Please note, I'm not responsible if rom will break your device !!

You have to update it through cwm(clockworkmod recovery). i hope you know about it, if dont then go to this link:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278027 here you will get full info about it.
is front camera & HD video playback working without lag & restarts in this version ??
also pls someone test if 3d games working..
everything is working flawlessly. both the cameras are working fine and so is HD movie. didn't test 3d games though because neither I do have 3d games collection nor I use to play them. though it is premature to comment, but I have a feeling that by far it is going to be best rom barring FM and HDMI. but none of the uc kernel meant for cm7 is working.. so can't do ocing or voltage hack
hey mi410 bro where did you find gapps and how did youconfigure your service provider
for gapps go to this link
http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
credits to cyanogen wiki
and for manually configuring ur provider
step 1
when on your home screen
press menu button > settings> wireless&networking (1st option)>network operators>access point
press menu for getting NEW /ADD
then enter the details
for your operator specific setting call up ur custormer service or search the internet
(i was using miui fw this time so i cant put the exact option titles )
Step 2
if you already put the google apps from recovey and you switch on your phone.
you will be taken directly to the Touch android Bot screen
in this screen just press Menu Button !! and from there you can do the settings try it and come back
have a great day.
installed gapps by googling but camera won't open says cannot connect to front camera going back to miui till a more concrete review comes along on whats working and whats not and cheers for the uploader thanks

don't know why your camera is not working, for me both the front and back cameras are working perfectly. .. device model name is showing as Triumph, but that's not a problem... need kernel for overclocking and voltage hack...Napster, are you there?
same for me .. once you switch to front camera "camera not working" error pops up and thats it camera application wont work anymore.
another bug i noticed is the SOUND widget control on noticfication wont function only gives click sound. long press will take you to the main sound settings though
torch application not working.
anyways now flashing again ..this time from stock GB rom to CM7.1 and lets see
i wanted to ask the uploader if he kows how to prt roms for the triumph on our phone if yes it can be very cool as triumph has great custom roms can he share the method with us always felt why does tj port from galaxy ace where triumph is a better option

you are total dumb..
tj_style uses ports from htc desire hd & s, galaxy ace has no hardware relation with our phone & thus ports are not possible..
truimph community devs uses ports by tj_style instead by changing radio baseband because n.american region uses a different set of telecom operator freq. & kernal because of capacitive buttons different order.
i also earlier thought this is a new port but this is the same build by tj_style with same bugs
the different thing is that firstly someone ports ports it to truimph then an another user ports the same builds to our phone.. its one & the same thing..
i'm complaining about this dev. as he tried it.. but we need only newer builds not the old ones..
like miui porting is ahead ATM in moto forum, so he should be porting it.. cm7 having the same status atm..
or should port any other roms that are not present for our phone but there in moto truimph forums..& he should edit system build.prop too for proper user agent device id changing to fih-fbo

Im not complaining, at least other people are getting in there and getting something accomplished. The more the merrier, as they say. I tried porting one and ended up with a non installable mess. More power to the OP. There should be no possessiveness of the roms. He gave credit to TJ so what is the beef.
Having said that my front cam takes upside down pics. Didn't TJ already solve that issue?

Camera inversion issue has already been solved by tj_style. I have built a kernel for miui release. I will upload it in few minutes.
And yes, I will try and provide nUC kernel support for this cm rom too. Just ramdisk swapping might do the trick, unless there are some major changes in kernel by dev.
PS. since I am again away from my home for some work, so this delay.

Hi folks, I just update the rom today, this update fix some bug at ril radio and gps

[ROM] MIUI 2.3.9 - U8800pro PORTED

this rom ported frm this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538588
u can read details there, i think the real dev of the rom is xuguoshu (correct me if wrong), credit to him or whatever name he has, i will refer back to fengbao.com to confirm his name. post has been translated by pikachukaki, it has been said as a perfect release.
download my ported rom here:
http://db.tt/dqdfFXCg
download modified austrie sd kernel patch here (i modified wifi module to suit with edowar wifi patch):
http://db.tt/ZCFLBhwM
download google patch here:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/zTcyKVYN/GSM.html
steps of installation:
1. go to cwm
2. do a nandroid backup (if applicable)
3. do a full wipe (unless u already use miui gb rom - if so, just wipe dalvik & cache)
4. flash the rom
5. flash sd kernel patch (huawei roms came with unique updater script, so its mandatory for u to flash kernel separately)
6. flash google patch
7. reboot system
WARNING: DONT REBOOT YR PHONE UNTIL U FINISH FLASHING EVERYTHING
credit also to austrie for the kernel
credit also to edowar for his wifi patch
i add spirit fm radio with its library file in this rom, u can test. my country is not in the preset list.
i/o scheduler (deadline) is seems like not really compatible for our device, some apps function, such as selecting certain themes may reboot yr phone, to stabilize it, just go to x5 setting (included) & change to cfq, so far its working great!
ALL MAJOR FUNCTIONS ARE WORKING.
NO IN-CALL VOLUME ISSUE.
ENJOYYYYY!!!

Clicking On Settings Gives Force Close,
Some Parts Of The Rom Are Still Chinese
Opening Root Explorer & X5 Settings Stuck On Superuser Had To Reboot By Removing Battery.
Camera Cannot Focus Properly Double Checked With Camera ICS App
Front Facing Camera Shows A 90degree Image.
And The Mosted Talked About Feature The RADIO, It Indeed Does Work In India, But The Audio Is Bad As Hell As If Listening To A Scratched Disc. (In Short Its Useless)
Wifi & Bluetooth Working Fine
Have Not Tested GPS.

1) Wifi did not connect properly ( it would connect once and then disconnect after few seconds).
2) After switching on the WIFI the phone switches off automatically and you will have to remove the battery to switch it on again.
3) The keyboard was in chines and sometimes even that would not pop out when i tried typing.
4) Front camera problem has already been mentioned.
I was initially excited to try this one but with the above problems its impossible to use it. Switching back to CacingKalung 2.3.7. i feel thats the most stable ROM so far. Any ways still appreciate your effort in porting another ROM. thanks.
Cheers,

[Unlocked Bootloader][4.3][ROM] Tweaked 569 Stock Rom With AOSP Feel V3 [Jan18]

This is a tweaked versions of 10.4.B.0.569 Official ROM. As it includes a Kernel with Philz Touch CWM the Bootloader needs to be unlocked.
Changes Made:
Fully Deodexed/Busybox/Rooted. To odexed rom flash this.
Added Nova launcher, AOSP Keyboard and AOSP Browser to give the ROM a more AOSP feel. (Sony Launcher and Keyboard still included.)
Xposed & GravityBox included to help get a AOSP look.
Replaced the default kernel with [Yuga][.569 Stock kernel][UB][CWM Advanced Edition][PhilZ Touch] by shoey63.
Added BeatsAudio and ViPER4Android.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
Know bugs
On first boot the phone will freeze and reboot. When it reboots you will see an error image then the screen will go black. Don't worry, it is booting but you won't be able to see the bootup animation. This will only happen once and will boot normally afterwards.
V4A XHiFi will only work with the Walkman app when you select "FX Compatible Mode" in the options. For any other music players select "Normal" in the FX Compatible Mode settings menu. Can take up to 5secs before it kicks in.
In Philz Touch CWM go to "PhilZ Settings" and turn off "Verify Root on Exit". This will prevent Busybox from getting deleted. If you didn't do this and Busybox got deleted the version you want to install is V1.20, not the latest version. The latest version doesn't work with the Flashhex script I included.
Any more issues please report them.

If you didn't remove it, would it be better if I were to freeze the launcher myself using titanium backup? Cause having two launcher would significantly drain the battery life.
Do I have to install the supercharger script upon the first boot via terminal emulator or will it automatically install?
Also, did you tweak the build.prop to smoothness & battery saving or should I do it myself? #edit: opps sorry, i missed out ur last point. lol

I covered everything you want to know in the main post.
Not a lot of feedback on this ROM. Thought I would of got a few comments by now. Pretty new to the Xperia Z Development but find it hard to believe it's this dead. The Nook HD+ forum seems to be more active and has less users..

Nah, its just that people in Xperia Z is relatively slow to changes. People in this forum would rather stick with development that has great amount of views, replies and so on. e.g: look at existen, within few hours theres a page of comment. Also, unless you provide a fancy features with great screenshot, they don't feel like giving a shot at all. But if I must say, our development is pretty much dead compare to others.
Ok, if you want some feedback...
I think people are enjoying the official 4.3 by Sony, and I cannot see enough improvements in your rom, but instead it has some drawbacks like being deodexed, beatsaudio, which is not for everyone, and some bloatware here and there. Why flash a new rom when I could manually install the 2 or 3 things I like?
Also, aosp looking roms don't have much success here, if we'd like it we would have bought a cheap nexus phone. There is a thread about Android UI vs Sony UI, and most people don't give a sh** about pure Android.
No offense, just an opinion.

I guess this is a good rom for those who wants to have aosp/cm but is stuck on locked bootloader.

I though this too, but then I realised this is for unlocked bootloader only.
At least to me, the script included in this rom is something new. In fact, I see it as improvement.
Would suggest to other who tried to rom to freeze the xperia home launcher (if they prefer AOSP look) to save some battery juice though.
If its too bloated, go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350442
Otherwise if you have the knowledge, just remove bloated apps yourself.

The problem is that, the script will only work with certain version of busybox which the kernel (shoey63) provided. In fact, to flash the custom kernel you have to unlocked your bootloader.
Also, from what I've seen, the script does not WORK fully (maybe partly) as the script is used to optimize old phones with single/duo-core specs. With our Xperia Z specification, the script practically did a little or less. Other than that, the rom does provide as to what it claimed.
I may be wrong, i'm not entirely sure.

This should work with locked bootloaders. It will come up with an error at the end of the install when it trys to install the kernel.
All you need to do is flash the ROM then use Flashtool to flash 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf
http://d-h.st/SLc
I haven't tested this but I can't see no reason why it wouldn't work as long as you flash a 10.4.B.0.569 kernel with Flashtool.
Updated ROM.
Limks up and working.

Hi,
Working fine on my LBL SP.
Fast, smooth, and what a ROM should be.
Just a few things you might be able to help me with.
Charge light never goes out at 100%, stays green all the time.
Any way to change that?
Getting "Optimising Applications" at every reboot.
I've cleared Dalvik and rebooted, but it keeps happening.
What can I check?
Thanks for a great ROM.

The charge light is standard sony, I do not know of anyway to change that at present
However I can look into this and if I find anything I will report back.
Your optimising on every boot issue is caused by Gapps - remove it and reinstall another version
I had to change the link on my thread to reflect a better version that resolved this issue some users were experiencing
thanks for the valued feedback

Yes you can use it every day and please find attached the extra files you need to make it work in the Italian language
You need to drag and drop the attached files in these locations
system/tts/lang_pico/
system/usr/xperia_keyboard_dictionaries/
(DO NOT delete any files already in these locations in the Rom)
(The attached is NOT a flashable zip)
Please ignore any DS_store files in the .zip - I work on a mac and these are hidden storage mac specific system files - you DO NOT need these
I read in the main thread that there is only English, instead I saw that there are all the languages. Thanks anyway! I'm still testing the rom and negative I found that I did not synchronize Google's conctat.

It is english by default as I removed all other languages packs that effect the keyboard and dictionaries, the first boot menu will default to showing a list of ALL languages....
The keyboard and dictionary will only function in English unless you apply the files I supplied above this will give you FULL Italian as well as english!
For google sync to work you need to install Gapps mentioned in the second post in the main thread
Please Help

This Rom was only meant for C5303 devices as mentioned in the main thread first post
No idea why wondershare isn't working and I cannot offer support for third party apps sorry
I can fix xperia backup software place the attached files in the app folder and reboot
system backup will start working again (the attached is Not flashable you will have to add them to the ROM manually)
Accident and missing
I accidently installed c5303 rom into my c5302 .Does it make any problem?
My NFC option is missing,stock widgets too.

Flash the kernel that came with the rom with flashtool
then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57345781&postcount=106 to install the NFC stuff and that should sort out your issues
The lock screen is possible an issue with miui - go to apps and delete the mihome launcher
Sony's apps update.
Thank you for such a wonderful ROM!
I tried your ROM and only have one question: How can I update Sony's apps such as Walkman, Album, Movie,... when the Update app was removed?

First I must say that this is the fastest stock I have ever seen. Thank for the great work!
%99 percent of your "bloatware removal list" is perfectly fit for usual XSP owners. And a few changes can be made on this list as you said "to be done in V3".
And I have suggestions before releasing your "mighty V3"
After numerous clean installs of your v2 over stock original .205 with Locked Bootloader;
1- I could never overcome the "optimising applicaitons on every boot" issue. Tried 3 different GApps mentioned in the original posts. If I am not wrong -without GApps installation- after update of Google Play Store and Services there is no problem. But when I install GApps and there is an updated GApp in them (no matter before or after gapps installation) every boot takes time. May be a permissions issue but you are the master
2- I got better superuser interactions with both 2.40 supersu binary and app
3- As you know SONY apps like Walkman, Album, Movies etc are sexy and most of Xperia users love them. According to SONY's strangely good update frequency of these apps makes me think that "Sony Update Center is required" in V3.
4- I tried both activating ant not activating mi home, cleaning data of mihome and xperia home apps, uninstalling, all the things possible... No chance to fix clock orientation in Xperia Lockscreen.
5- I think with such a smooth rom we guys will choose Xperia Homescreen. Mi Home can be removed. There are CM roms there to fantasy
6- As this roms "fitness" helps about battery life, you can also add your features like MPDecision thing etc. to make this rom legendary about battery. Underclocking also helps as you do and what about no frills classic pre installed or buried in setting?
7- I'm confused after tons of flashing zips and I may be wrong but after a clean install for locked bootloaders
7a- If phone is not rooted pre installed towelroot would be good because I dont want to find a way to get a file explorer to find apk and install it. Or pre installed ES File Explorer would also be good, as I think every one has it.
7b- If phone doesn't have recoveries recevory zip installation can also be added to installation instructions, may be supersu.zip too.
8- I don't know if there are differences but most of guys would prefers US English than Australian English
9- Of course not all GApps but I thing %95 of Sony Stock users use Google Contacts sync. Apps, app datas, maps, google+ etc etc all they are optional but contacts sync is a must. Needed in V3
10- Exchange capabilities are must for email I think. You can put it in or make it an addon.
11- There are so many guys out there can not deactivate their facebook accounts just to remember the birthdays of friends. And there is no wonderful way to sync facebook calendar to phone calendar on play store like Sony's own app. This is also needed I think...
12- Only one ringtone of original Xperia ringtones...
13- I know you have thought may be all of these but I will be happy whether even only one of these would help to make your rom better.
I am installing stock .205 now and I will use it till mighty V3 of you released
I am a volunteer for testing on LBL too. Good luck.
translation possible ?
Hello,
i ask if if will possible de have this rom in other langage that english like.....french for example ?

Hi alls,
About installation, no problems. Maybe i missread the Op, i flash SuperSu (v2.40), i don't realize you even use Super user, but no probeme, i can diseable it very easy and NO problem with root. (thank for the french language on the very first boot)
About your rom : You'r a Champion: Stable , Fast, good battery,....only what i need....(i'm on LBL and use Performance Controle apk, the only "feature" that i need to control your rom)
About a probably Slim rom V3, if you can give us more battery, you are a GENIUS!!!:highfive:
Many thanks for your work
Hi,
Many thanks for your hard work, neil
I don't like CPU Frills, i prefer Performance Control for LBL( there's already MP Decision) and many other things you can control: GPU, RAM management, you can freeze some applications,...., it's more complete.
BTW, can i uninstall, the "new"applications you wrote in the OP (V3)? Because i never use NFC, update SONY, etc, etc.
Regards

YES you can uninstall, the "new"applications" listed in (V3)
If you want to use "performance controller" app just rename MPDecision.old to MPDecision in system/bin and reboot
That will reinstate Sony stock settings and allow you to use the "performance controller" app fully, hopefully!

Android one custom rom review part 1 [pros & cons]

HEY GUYS TODAY THE REVIEW THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE IS ABOUT THE BEANSTALK ROM.
THE ROM HAS ANDROID M LATEST 6.0.1[1 FEB 2016 SECURITY PATCH].
ITS MAINLY BASED ON CYANOGEN ROM.
THE PROS OF THIS ROM ARE
PROS:
1.Runs on marshmallow latest.
2.Best battery performer till now compared to other android m based roms.
3.Has root option in the developers option.
4.All cm themes runs without any lags.
5.Stock android experience and quite fast.
6.The fastest camera capture in this rom than any other.
7.Storage is good but we can accept this much in 4GB
internal storage devices.
CONS:
1.You have to use banks gapps no other gapps will work if u install any other than your phone will stuck on bootanimation.
2.Except bootanimation.zip no other zips can be installed like supersu.zip if u try then again it will stuck on boot.
3.Front camera function in the roms camera app sometimes never work even after rebooting ur device.
4.The developer of this rom has named the device name as "**** you".which isn't good when you have a windows 10 pc like i am having once plugged cortana will say "**** you connected ".so it is a con for me.
5.You should not turn off the developer option if did then no way to get it back even clicking the build number several times which means say bye to root.
6.You can't hide your lockscreen pattern.
SO GUYS THESE ARE THE PROS AND CONS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE ROM IS FAST BUT IS NOT THE BEST BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU CAN USE THIS ROM BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LAG IN ANYTHING AND DOESN'T HANG.I HAVE MADE A SIMILAR REVIEW IN ANOTHER SECTION TOO.
PLEASE SEE THE SCREEN SHOTS I HAVE ATTACHED AND GIVE A THUMBS UP IF U LIKE IT. ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOMED AND HAVE A GOOD DAY
