How is gingerdx better than any other rom?
gingerdx haas soo maany problems that not even dx can solve...
no offence but its kinda true. battery problem , accselomeater problem... and many many more. if anything from 100% - 0% half day. v.v thats teribble for the greatest rom cooker in x8 forum . Dx you have made soo many great modules and roms ... why ginger dx is soooo bad? v.v
i've used GingerDX before but recently with the new version some bugs came out... right now im using FD Experience ROM, and it is a stable ROM and also looks like the original stock ROM of SE... just install the v1.0.0... its better i think!

No!No!
GingerDX V15 is very faster than FD Experience.
GingerDX has Bravia engine
GingerDX has xLOUD engine
GingerDX is very smooth
what now?

since when? this is the original rom for the X8, not the X10Mini port...
FD Experience is much better that GingerDX!!!
FD Xperience is my present ROM, and i'm satisfied with it,
its like you are using the stock SE ROM but with so many features,
and a very fast and smooth gingerbread rom
(you can notice it after flashing this ROM),
much better to others as i experienced 'cause
I've already tested so many roms so far this one
don't give me regrets, actually i'm surprised with it....
FD Xperience!!!!EXPERIENCE & EXPECT MORE!!!!!!

why not.
but this engine ported for GDX first.
I don't know but I am more satisfied with GC than I was with GingerDX. My father has installed GDX and it is SOOOO laggy with 90MB RAM. I always get 30-40 MB RAM on GC and it's faster (and I really like the Xperia look )
Gingercrutz is very good and stable rom, but ut has some tiny bugs that is really annoying me, so at this point iv back to stock SE rom......

There is a fix for that. Go to GC settings, performance, lock home on memory.
All ROMs do that

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

Hey x8 XDA'ers.
First of all, I'm sorry for asking this kind of question, but Please bear with me man.
I'm looking for a good STABLE rom with stable battery life, good performance etc, for my sister. She's tired of hers Xperia X8 since it feels slow and react so damn slow.
I'm a SGSII user myself, so I dont know nothing about X8, but I promised her to try and improve her phone's performance so I would be grateful if you could tell me which rom's I should take a look at. Since it is my sister he knows nothing about tech-related stuff, so the rom needs to be stable and good for daily usage, since if anything goes wrong she have no clue what to do
I know XDA hate questions like "what is the best rom etc..", but I'm just asking for your personal experiences with the different rom and what you would recommend for this kind of usage
Thank you XDA!
if she doesn't need a lot of features and she's okay with eclair, i'd say stick with stock. or go for any of the gingerbread roms. all of them work great especially gingerdx and minicm7. plus if you install a custom kernel and overclock it slightly, performance would improve drastically. and if you want to go for ics, try minicm9 or isdx. h
MiniCM7 + nAa kernel is the most stable Rom out there.
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
Well, if you want android 2.3 then choose between gingerDX or MiniCM7.
If android 4.0 then MiniCM9.
well, if its about your sister i can tell that she dont need high performance, but an improvement is nessecery.....and this rom must have and some beautiful icons?! am i wrong to somewhere?...no i am not!hahaha:laugh:
first to do, download x8toolbox(here), root, install busybox, install cwm, download gingerdx(here), put it in your sd card, reboot to cwm, full wipe-wipe dalvik, go to "install zip from sd", find the rom you download and wait until its finish, reboot, enjoy!
(i dont thing your sister needs a custom kernel, with this rom she will not have any problem and its a tone more awesome from eclair, so see will be happy)
this is all.
1. Pls use search next time.
2. Is the phone already rooted? Cwm installed? You may want to check our stickies for that.
3. I'm assuming your sis is on stock kernel (locked bootloader). If it's unlocked then that's a whole new ballgame.
Here are some you ay wanna check out:
1. Froyo roms are supposedly faster than gb roms (never tried though, so i can't elaborate on the features)
2. The really popular GingerDX. Smooth, fast, stable, and lots of features.
3. LinuxLx's LinuXperia. Cm 7.1. Great 2d/3d scores (dev is a girl so the appearance may be to your sister's liking)
4. Xperiafan's RCI V4. Haven't used it much but has good reviews.
Hope that helps.

First of all, thank you so much for all those fast answers! Thank you!!
#2
She mainly wants better reaction/performance but an upgrade to Gingerbread or ICS would be great as well. I don't know if it would be good for the performance or not tho.
Thanks, I think I will check out Gingerdx, isdx and miniCM9. I think I'll overclock abit, but I still want it to be 100% stable, how much can I overclock, without destroying the battery life and making it unstable?
#3
Thanks for your opinion, will take it into account.
#4
Uhm, #2 mentioned isdx, what do you say about that?
#5
Hah! yeah probably
afaik ICS has beautiful icons, but maybe gingerdx has as well?
As mentioned, I'd like to overclock abit to increase the performance, so I bet a custom kernel would be good. What would recommend?
and thanks for the quick tutorial, I do know how to root'n'flash tho, since I've done it a ton of time on several other devices
#6
Sorry, I tried to make a quick search in the x8 forums, but I couldnt find a thread about recommended roms for girls
Most ppl recommend GingerDX, so I will probably check that out as well as MiniCM9, since ICS would perhaps be great (If it is stable tho)
She isnt going to play games I can tell for sure, so 3d score doesnt matter I guess. But thanks, will check it out, since it is a girl-made ROM
Amazing fast answers, thanks man! I appreciate any feedback <3
Ics aint stable . I dont reccomand for daily use man. GingerDX or MiniCM7 are just perfect.

ok, first of all take out the battery andd look at the back sticker on the phone(on the phone!!!!!!!!), there will be a number like this 10wxx, 11wxx or 12wxx if it is 11w29+ just forget about unlocking bootloader,so you can not flash custom kernel, if it is 11w29- then look this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24630104&postcount=2 there you will find the links for guides about unlocking bootloader.
have fun!
If you unlock your bootloader and install a custom kernel (Alfs v8a CM7) I'd try GingerZaraki..
Best rom on this forum IMO..

Alfs because team GDX making Alfs kernel too!
MiniCm 7 With Hello Kitty CM7 THEME!
just try Kuyadroid
Kuyadroid is most stable rom,its on stock kernel so you dont need to unlock bootloader !! Its so easy to installing,just need rooted and xrecovery !!
Thanks, I think I have decided to go for GDX with alfs then more opinions are welcomed!

Okay, I have a few final questions.
The script to root x8 require ADB, so I need to install that again (just reinstalled windows), was so complicated.
Isnt SuperOneClick easier? ( This method -> http://www.xperia-x8.com/tutorial-how-to-root-sony-ericsson-xperia-x8/ )
How much is completely SAFE to overclock the x8 with alfs kernel and GDX rom?
About 760 mhz..dont set it on boot.
I dont recommend oc.shorter batery life.

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).

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..

No offense gogeta but 2.2 is not supported by some apps. 2.3.7 is supported by almost all apps. It is very stable. almost as fast 2.2 . Difference is there but not much if you don't go into specifics.
BTW @Gogeta which rom & kernel are you using?

I love primeHD . it is flawless
Right now using minicm7 with Oxydo ZCF 04 kernel (nAa kernel has low battery life, I think )
my camera doesn't click photos. plz help.
The reason I switched from primeHD 10 was when I multitasking problem.
I use opera mini. I have unstable Wi-Fi connection. and when I put opera mini in background to connect again , I lose all websites in tabs. (at Max 1 or 2 ). If you know what fix for this, I can happily go back to primehd10.
Prime hd was my first rom on my x8 with naa kernel the most fastest rom... now i m using mini cm7 bcoz prime hd is older if its updated then it would be best rom ever for x8... i recommend u to try prime hd and mini cm7 and stick to any one....

It really depends on what you need.
2.2 is fastest, but it's really outdated. If you have a locked bootloader, then froyo may be your best choice.
2.3, though itself outdated, is still supported by many apps (though you can argue that most of those apps support 2.2 as well).
4.0, i can't say since i never liked ics and only tried a few roms for a bit.
4 1 is tye most updated android version we have right now. Some say it's too slow, but i personally don't think so. Our phone does have very limited ram, but you can either limit your apps installed, use a class 10 sdcard for swap (i prefer zram though), or add some tweaks.
For 2.2 i personally like froyobread and froyopro.
2.3 is gdx (dx's) and minicm 7.
For 4.1 i use yair's rom.
Edit: most people would say gb is the go-to rom regardless if you have a locked bl or not. I suggest you try gb first. :thumbup:
JB all the way for me
Best for X8
hie,
our X8 is a great device , our great developers have made all Android OS to run on it:good : .
but,according to my experience , x8 works best on GB(Android 2.3). its is very stable on GB . Froyo(Android 2.2) is also nice but nowadays there are many apps that require minimum android version of 2.3 . On the other hand ICS & JB(Android 4.0+) are great fr their looks and UI but our X8 just works on 600Mhz processor and 0.25gb ram,therefore JB is not stable and lags a lot on X8.
Conclusion:- You will get best performance and stability on GB for your X8.

For 2.2 i personally like froyobread and froyopro.
2.3 is gdx (dx's) and minicm 7.
For 4.1 i use yair's rom.
Edit: most people would say gb is the go-to rom regardless if you have a locked bl or not. I suggest you try gb first. :thumbup:

hie,
our X8 is a great device , our great developers have made all Android OS to run on it:good : .
but,according to my experience , x8 works best on GB(Android 2.3). its is very stable on GB . Froyo(Android 2.2) is also nice but nowadays there are many apps that require minimum android version of 2.3 . On the other hand ICS & JB(Android 4.0+) are great fr their looks and UI but our X8 just works on 600Mhz processor and 0.25gb ram,therefore JB is not stable and lags a lot on X8.
Conclusion:- You will get best performance and stability on GB for your X8.

If you didn't get your phone 2nd-hand, you probably have a locked bootloader. Don't worry. There are roms for locked bootloaders. Personally, i prefer gingerdx for gb. Froyobread or froyopro for froyo. As long as you don't try to unlock your bootloader if your manufacturing date is 11w29 and up, then the risk is minimal. Search a little and you'll find guides on how to flash roms and/or unlock your bootloader. Good luck. Just read and search and you're safe.
As long as you don't hard brick your phone tryingvto unlock your BL OR flash a wrong kernel you should be safe. Just search a bit. :thumbup:

My advice is read, read, search, and understand.
