So would I(for a few days, until a decent custom one is cooked

Have been using custom Roms for a couple of months, I always recommend custom software over Sony's stock, it's terrible.

Custom, of course

Custom all the way..
running gingerdx by far the best rom i have tried.
v003 is now up
doixanh is a god.

using Froyobread v22. Good and stable. (v23b is out but my X8 is lagging after a while. fall back to v22)
Go for Custom ROM
Wanted to try GingerDX but so far all ginerbread Roms can only support VGA camera.
I need 3.2MP camera badly.
Keep on waiting for breakthrough ROM.

Im in custom rom the swedroid rom based on froyobread

CUSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM !
FroyoBread v023 and the next versions ahahah

FroyoBread v023 is the winner for me, maybe I'll switch to GingerDX when the camera is fully supported. And yes I know doixanh isn't interested in getting the camera working, so I won't request it from him. But there are other developers out there, so I still have hope.

absolutely CUSTOM ROM.. xD ...using kuyaDROID..fast,stable everything works fine.. (except the camera xD )..thumbs up for CUSTOM ROM!!! xD

[Q] Couple of boot loader unlocking doubts...

Helloo Everybody..
I will be really grateful if someone found a solution to my problem...
I know that this is not a support site, but a developers world, but after searching and googling, i couldnt help my self.
Mods can close and delete this thread if they want.
My question is that if I flash a Gingerbread kernel(nAa or Alfs) on ECLAIR 2.1...wont it create problems..such as force closing or rebooting sort of problems??
Secondly I read SpydeX thread of unlocking bootloader..i got all the tools ready, but the thread doesnt mentions anything about entering into recovery via kernel on ECLAIR 2.1... the guide just tells that after flashing entr into recovery and flash the rom.
I tried this trick on my friends X8, but no success..
Thanxx in advance

If you flash a custom kernel at the eclair while you have locked bootloader,you will have bootloop(it wont boot,but you can easily fix it),if you have unlocked your bootloader it will be fine
As for your second question,you unlock your bootloader,you flash the kernel(which contain cwm),you enter recovery(cwm),and you flash the rom.

No he's got it wrong.
1. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked rom flashtool won't allow it.
2. Flashing a custom kernel on stock 2.1 will cause it to bootloop, what you'd normally do is enter recovery and flash a rom that works with the kernel.

No,users have reported that custom kernels work with stock rom(I remember very clear a user who used naa kernel with stock rom)
Maybe older versions...
If I'm wrong then I apologize

op, when you said the jb kernel didn't work for you, what exactly do you mean? you get a soft brick? is your bootloader unlocked? please give us more info.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

NB : I forget about the version of nAa jb kernel. I will check it on my laptop soon.

try this:
1. on your custom kernel, format /system /data /cache
2. flash naa's jb kernel.
3. do step one again
4. flash jb rom for that kernel.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
