I flashed GingerXperia v22 to my x8. still using stock kernel. (Cant unlock bootloader). Well so far its great. It got good quadrant scores, plays games well and flash runs ok. The only thing is when i go to about phone in settings it doesnt display my kernel version. Can this cause other issues? and how can i fix it?
It's a ROM bug which was fixed in newer version than 22
thanks for the reply. i will try a newer version. Im starting to have other issues out of the rom as well.

hello,
i was on gingerbread rom. than i flash back to froyo using heimdall oneclick uckb2 with out checking the option of bootloader.
Now i successfully flashed to froyo but i have no idea which bootloader i have now ? whether i m on froyo bootloader or gingerbread bootloader ???
I personally think, i m on gingerbread bootloader because i not checked the option of flashing bootloader when going from gingerbread to froyo. plus i hv changed download mode screen i.e the one which i had on gingerbread.

I would guess you are on GB bootloaders, but it doesn't matter which ones you are on if you're going to CM7. I wouldn't worry about it until you flash to something else. At that point you can either just reflash a full package with bootloaders to be sure or try flashing without them and see what happens. You should get a pixelated screen at boot on GB if your bootloaders are Froyo.

Yes, as long as you flashed a GB bootloader to get on GB then that's what you have. Just go ahead and flash CM7

As mentioned earlier, if you want to know, just flash a gb ROM. You'll know if you have the wrong bootloaders as soon as it boots. If you think you may have the I9000 bootloaders, power the phone off and try volume up and power at the same time.
I read some where that froyo bootloader is neccessary for flashing cm7. So if I have ginger bootloader. Will it make problem? ?

Not anymore. It used to be froyo only, but now it works with either. However I9000 GB bootloaders may not play nice.
Ohhhh that's nice to know. So it means I can flash cm7 even if I have gb bootloader? ??
Well, yeah.
Whats the difference between cm7 and cm7 nightly ?
For all practical purposes, nothing. CM7 is compiled nightly (well, sort of, the build bot is currently broken) with updates, new features, bug fixes, etc. Every so often when they get a version stable enough for everyone's liking, they make it an official build. The reason I say there's not really any difference is that the current nightlies are at least as stable if not more stable than the current official release.
181 was the last official nightly released if I remember correctly, but you can find other people who are compiling the updates themselves. The one many of us are using can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347273

Just download the nightly to your sd card and install it from recovery. And no clue, I have never had any lag with adw launcher. You can try others to see if it helps

Cm7 is going to have worse battery life than touch wiz roms. Its a known issue with aosp roms. They don't contain the closed source hardware drivers. That the tw roms have.
Ok, I just flashed cyanogenmod 9 with the glitch v14 beta kernel. Amazingly fast and smooth. One problem, my phone doesn't seem to be rooted...Doesn't cm9 and the glitch kernel root your phone automatically? Or did something go wrong?
Can I just use superoneclick to root it now? Or will that screw everything up?

Instead of superoneclick, try to download superuser app from the Market first.
Sent from my sgs
I already have superuser installed, it's just for managing apps that require root, not for rooting itself.
Normallary its rooted now, if you flashed the Glitch Kernel v14

Really? Damn it. You think I should reflash the kernel? If I look at the phone's information the kernel version is icy glitch v14, so it flashed fine I guess.

Hi, i have tested all the Glitch kernels extensivly and they all give me same result sooner or later, sometimes even at first reboot, they go into bootloops and there is NO way to access CWM
I would surely try the newest Devil kernel 14.2 witch is soo awesome and smooth
Had it a couple days now, and NO problems at all
The Devil rocks
Strange stuff. I tried superoneclick, but according to it the phone is already rooted...which isn't the case.
Will try to reflash the kernel with glitch. If that doesn't solve the problem i might try devil.
Hi and sry for my bad english
I have a OB with CM7 # 60 nightly and i'm impressed by the speed of my phone but..
the problem is since a few days my mobile network disconnects often for a few minutes. Thats really stupid because if I want do download a update, app, rom or something like that the connections always cuts off.
So i considered to flash the new official GB Rom and than flash the CM, so maybe i have a newer Version of Baseband. Would this work? or is there a better solution?
maybe interesting:
CM7 # 60 nightly
ClockworkMod 5.0.2.6
Huexxx V4 kernel
BasebandVersion: 1035.23_20110707
Thanks for the help.
phil
Better use Nova Kernel and not Huexxx, since this seems to have more bugs... But just guessing... Give it a shot and report
I tried the Nova V11c kernel but my problem isn't solved
Is there something else what I can try out?
phil
what's a kernel? I installed cyanogenmod with the rom manager app. It was corrible, so then I tried the zeus custom rom, but the soft key lights still don't work. Do I need to install a kernel? Where do I get a kernel? I just want a phone that works as LG said it should!
I flashed the "zeus"-Rom.
now i have baseband version: XMM6160
problem solved
Hi !
I use Semaphore 2.7.4 with JW6 and though it's good, it still lags and the screen freezes at times. I am in Thailand but use Australian firmware cause officially there is no 2.3.6 for SGS here.
Tried midnight and speedmod but they are not so good for my phone. Is there a Devil's kernel available for this Rom ?
Somebody please advise me !
Thanks !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
There isn't Devil kernel for JW6, only for CyanogenMod 7 and CyanogenMod 9. I think you tried all of available kernels. You can also try CF-ROOT kernel (only root, without mods in kernel).
JW6 is one of the latest and best ROMs for our I9000, so I'm shocked that you are not happy with it. Lags? Freezes? When?
Maybe you have some bloatware that are slowin' down your phone?
If you want stable and fast ROM, flash stable CM7 and use it's stock kernel.
CM9 is also good, but latest nightlies have some random issues (eg. weird ringer, missing power widgets).
Maybe try MNGB by Mialwe. It's my favourite, because it has many features and is responsive and fast. I never had lags with the kernel and it is made for JW4/5/6!

Happy testing
Well, I flashed alfs 09c kernel and then installed GingerDx v031b on one my relatives' X8 a month ago. But then I kept having bootloops. So then I flashed alfs 08a over the previous kernel. It seemed to work, but then it started to lag alot and an error msg related to google play service kept popping up. And soon I realized that I couldn't even overclock it as the OS froze every time I overclocked it. I'm using the nAa 11 kernel right now and it seems better than the previous kernels I flashed, but I still get issues if i overclock it. I flashed the nAa 13 and nAa 14 kernel couple of days ago, but the wifi didn't work so i went back to nAa 11. I almost forgot to mention that I've installed cronmod's int2ext+ script and increased the internal memory.
So is it the rom that's been causing all these problems? From what I heard, GDX is the smoothest rom for X8. So what is causing all these problems? I can't overclock and the kernels that people claim to be the best for this device doesn't seem to work properly. So please, could anyone end this misery?
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
