wifi teethering now possible on X8?

Hi,
as in the topic, is it possible to use wifi teethering now on a X8? I understand that the bootloader hat to be unlocked, which seems is possible to do now.
Can anyone please point me into the right direction?
What must I do?
- unlock the bootloader?
- install a new kernel (or does that come with any ROM already?)
- which ROM do you consider me to get?
Thanks.

1.Unlock bootloader
2.Flash GingerDX with LinuxDX
3.Use Barnacle wifi tether

Is it still not possible to use the Android built in teethering method on the X8 with some on the latest Rom's then?

On FXP ROM after 028, it is possible to use it

If he use barnacle wifi, it's not necessary to do something else. Barnacle works with different way.
Otherwise he must do the steps that you propose.

Hi, thanks for the info.
it seems as if the developement of FXP Rom is stopped now, as Cyanogenmod released a port for the X8 device today? (which currently isn't downloadable at http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira) ?
So should I wait until I can get CM, as it is supposed to work with that also, right?
I have already put another Rom on my X8 a few months ago, is there anything else I need to do now?
As the bootloader got unlocked.. Is there something I need to do to make CM7 and wifi-teethering to work then?
Sorry.. for my dumb question.. But the X8 is not my main phone.. I really only need it for wifi-teethering

and reboots instantly when u turn on wifi?

Install barnacle...you do not need your bootloader unlocked with it
I do not advise you to install fxp rom and kernel because that are no stable

I have 2 X8 (Me and My daughter) - both with GingerDX (v017, v014), stock kernel, no unlocked boatloader and Burnacle works very well for Me (usually I tether My GSM data to My daughter in a car)

No, Killjoy is talking about the more-or-less discontinued CyanogenMod for the Xperia X8 (from the FreeXperia Team).
If you want to install it (not recommended, the ROM is highly buggy and feature incomplete), you need to unlock your boot loader to install the FXP kernel to make the ROM work ... as for installation ... simply search the forum, there are some installation guides around.
You could also give WiFi Tether a try ... I had it working on GingerDX v019 through v021 by using the 3.1 Beta version (though in my case it was the 3.1-pre105).
NOTE: If you're on Stock you at least need to root the ROM!

Barnacle work fine for me, other phones discover me normal... gdx 19-21

yeah i was talking about the rom B.Jay was talking about, i've used it for months and found no errors or bugs so far, it does great at what i want it for which is music, texting, general internet use and wifi tether. Barnacle is so slow on my X8, which is why i changed to this, make sure you turn on the "Auto Associate" in the settings then it'll refresh every 5 second util a device connects. if not, try PDANet and use wired tether.

i would greatly suggest unlocking bootloader + nAa kernel + cm7-2.1.6!!
try it!!

[Q] Wifi Hotspot not working

Hey,
as i am using Avatar Rom at the moment i tried to use Wifi hotspot. It didnt work (as i refer that it comes with CM 10.1 ). I read that tonyp was able to fix it, but i was just able to see the fix in his own build?
Is the Hotspot fix available separately?
Thanks in advance! =)

I also want to know this.

No, it's not afaik. Use tonyp's build if you need it, or roll back to a 4.1.2 rom.
