[Q] What to do next?

Hi Everyone,
I recently updated my stock version of w8 i.e. 2.1 to GingerDx V 0.22 by doixanh and works everything fine for me.
Also, installed the addons supplied in (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486) which contains AnDyX's Dualtouch for Cypress, AnDyX's smartass governor, ext3/4, X8Gesture, X8MDDI, X8UV.
i am able to get pinch to zoom but i am not sure if it is fake pinch to zoom or the real one because i read on of the posts and it was written that if the phone support Cypress digitizer then i phone can have a real dual touch. I also followed the steps given there and found out that my phone supports it but how can I get a real dual touch?
Also in the cyanogen settings/ performance/ cpu settings how can i set min CPU and max CPU frequency as per my choice as no option is available. I mean to say how can I overclock my CPU.
Also i want to know that CPU is Undervolted or not?
I am also attaching the screenshot of my kernel version and other information of Ginger DX.
And at last i want to know if my phone has alfs kernel or not? If not, what is the next step to get that?
Thanks in advance

A'ight, your phone has stock kernel, to overclock, just copy the overclock module to system/lib/modules, so that there will be options to set min and max freq. Atlast, if you have fake dual touch, there is NO way to make it "real dual touch"; except replace the digitizer with cypress.
Cheers.

YOU need to unlock your boot loader in order to use a custom kernel, so your first step to installing alfs or any other custom kernel is unlocking your boot loader

Take out tthe battery from your phone and read the sticker under it.
It should have a line with 11Wxx
Post here what yours says. If it's 11W29 or newer then DO NOT attempt to unlock your bootloader.

[Q] Custom roms for locked bootloader

Hi, my X8's manufacturing date is 11W35 => so i can't unlock the bootloader as far as i know.
So which custom roms (maybe looking like gingerxperia or gingercruzt) work with a locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance

even i had a locked bootloader (11w41) W8 phone earlier, used gingerxperia v23 without any problems! With xperia active launcher! Nice combo!

Check any ROMS for stock kernel
You'll find the list in threads such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240
And many more...

there's a PrimeHD that work like a charm

On topic the developer show the requirements - Stock, nAa, Alfs kernel.

Just try LinuXperia for stock
and see yourself

Thanks everyone but i found out that gingercruzt runs on stock kernel, so i just installed it and it runs very good.

kuyadroid was nice any stable (dony know why developer isnt updating it anymore)
im really sorry for people with 11w29 ++,,unlucky guyz...OooOoo
hope fxp helps you..

Hi, does the FM radio move from headset to loudspeaker (back and forth) easily with that stock rom?
As I am running PrimeHD and it gets locked on one or the other and won't switch back - also will randomly jump to loudspeaker when out and about - a touch embarrassing when Billy Ray Cyrus comes blasting from your phones and you can't get it back on the headset
If so - can you post which version of gingercruzt you flashed?
Cheers ..

Yes easily moves from loudspeaker to headset and back, no problems there just tested it to be sure
I flashed v8.4 with stock kernel.

Another question; What is the fastest rom for X8 with stock kernel? Should also be battery saving and not ram consuming, but most important: FAST
Cheers...

Use gingerDX as ur ROM..
Launcher pro as ur launcher
and use overclock to get smoothness on ur phone...

Using ram manager or supercharger won't hurt either.
Sent from my... I forget.

My opinion:
1.Dont use different launchers(use the Rom lanchuer)you install GDX use that installed launcher
2.You can use Ram manager or supercharger
3.Overclock it
4.Use fast and smooth rom
5.thats it,if i remember of something else will write it down

freeze (at least) unneeded system apps. uninstall unused user apps. no live wallpapers for me. odex if needed. simple yet effective.

just try some roms here. GDX, FroyoPro, Haka's Prime...just be carefull not to get flash addicted like us here
I wonder, even if I HAD the perfect rom, could I not try to change it or flash a new one?
LOL

Lol, Im already a flash addict mate, been flashing phones since very early days of XDA

I use PrimeHD v8 (stock kernel), with default launchers. No overclock, and minimal(only a must have) app installed. it works great, with no lags. and I enjoy it.
I also had RAM Manager installed. It helps a lot!

does ram manager really help? i use the same settings and rom like you.but sometimes the lag is quite a nuisance.

yes, i supposed so. Im think all senior members are. Just I was launching in the abiss....
Me, after trying all there is for stock, locked bootloader, I have to say that FroyoPro is the one answering my demands.(I mean over 1700 in Antutu, and over 600 for 2d)
Of course GDX and PrimeHD are also good, but in my oppinion they do not bring out the best in our X8, and ro support that is enough to compare test results in Froyo and Ginger.

Looking for ROM - rock stable, simple

My girlfriend has the X8, while I use the GNex. I have experience in flashing serveral devices. Her X8 is stuck at Android 2.1 (or maybe even 2.2), but it won't set up a google account, which means that she has no access to the play store. Usually I just send her the APKs and install them by hand, but this is no real solution.
So I want to flash a custom rom, but she doesn't know android very well.
Looking for this:
-stable (want to flash it once and leave it there)
-everything has to work (wifi/gps etc)
-not so deep options that will confuse her
-german language
-2.3.x
Are there custom roms, which have the same stock UI? She doesn't know what a drawer is or even the existence of other launchers. However this is not necessary.

PrimeHD 8 the best and stable

rom with orginal sony's apps ??

first i have a w8 with 12w02 and i see a lot of roms with stock kernel but all of them (as i know) based on CM, so i really miss sony's apps like alarm, clock...
guys pls tell me a rom is a ported from xmini, lww... so we both have ginger bread and sony's apps
tks

But they are good roms, just try. As i know its not possible to port from 2011 devices. Cause they are armv7, x8 is armv6

Try the old (but good ) GingerCruzt rom. This have SE look, and use some original SE app. Up to 8.4 it works on stock kernel (the latest 8.5 require custom kernel). And some xgin roms use some SE apps (widgets, contacts app, etc) around version 5.6-6.0. These roms is abandoned, and hard to find working download link. Unfortunatelly only these old hybrid solutions exist (cm7 + some SE apps) for stock kernel. If you lucky, maybe in the android development section you can find newer stock based roms what contains original SE apps (I not follow every rom threads), but do not want too much, these roms usually contains only SE launcher, timescape, some original widgets, dialer/contacts, xperia themed message app, 50-90% xperia look, and some apps what have modified UI to look similar to the SE apps.

Try semc Debrand by achotjan little buggy but stable and workable, does require custom kernel tho

unfortunately, the op's date is 12wXX. so unlocking his bootloader is a huge risk.
@op: i understand your preference for sony's stock apps. but there are a lot of nice alternatives for them. if you don't want that, stock rom is pretty good (considering the situation).

i tried to unlock boot loader but when clicked msm7227_whatever.bat it's failed lol
and now i think unlock bl for what, it's still arm v6 and it's still slow, i just need a viber and walkman device so better to stay away from risk )
tks you guys all, i'll try these roms.

i tried to ub my phone few days ago and got a hard brick
but luckily it's under warranty, so now i've got 11w21 hurayyyyyyyy

I guess u got lucky Now i guess u can unlock your phone's bootloader. For custom rom with sony look and feel i would recommend Gingercruzt 8.1/8.5 for stock kernel and 8.5 for custom kernel

I don't know...About the risk i think that it would be better if you won't unlock your bootloader,because you don't know what date of manufacturing you have, and it's not with old kernel.This is the date of manufacturing the motherboard.
@voncount from who you know that you have 11w21 ?

I think GingerCruzt or XGin..
