I like how laconic stamatis16 has been, which is why I'm gong to drop in a thanks. As for the answer to your question, you gotta root it, install XRecovery or CWM, download one of the countless GB ROMs available, thank the dev there and then flash it in recovery. Instructions can be found in Development section.

Which development ? Original development or the other one ?

unlock bootloader and flash one of the kernel, then flash ROM

search the whole x8 fourm you will get it:good:

(here in xda forum) Search->read->learn
e16i - 11w34
android 4.1.2 jb by nAa

Best is MiniCm7 with alfs kernel(using it), minicm10 is fast , all good , except the lag when you get a phone call , minicm9 is a lil laggy than minicm10.

A search would have told you that each rom will run differently on each device. Only way to tell what works for you is to try and see.

It looks great, many people are interested in GB (ICS and JB aren't the best for our weak HW), I would like to see it on my X8.
BTW does it have Xperia S lockscreen?

Btw, i have a locked bl so i really don't know much aby custom kernel. But i've been reading posts and alfs and naa's seem to be most popular. Hope you make one for stock though.
