No difference at all
I didn't try installing x8's rom on w8.might be possible by flashing x8's stock 2.1.1 firmware.
+u can root,install recovery with flash tools application (for windows etc)
U don't need to unlock bootloader now (it's risky! May damage phone {we call hard brick})

I wonder why Sony made W8 while there was X8
Sent from my W8 using xda app-developers app
well actually as leecorp said there are clone models
W8 is nothing but a X8 with Walkman moniker and Android platform. It looks like Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, the difference being the body design, a walkman app and the name walkman on its body
yes you can install X8 roms on W8.
@gogeta
they made W8 so that people can get choice of the body and a W8 is a completely different phone for layman and it is priced bit more than X8 so basically to rob people not knowing the difference
The two phones are very identical in both design and in hardware specifications. The X8 come under Xperia range of smartphone and W8 under Walkman range of smartphone.So any rom for the X8 is a rom for the W8 and any rom for the W8 is a rom for the X8

It is normal Sony Ericsson's policy. Look on other old walkman phones. All of them is based on other non walkman phones. For example: w200 and k510, w800 and k750, w610 and k550.
Both are same
W8 has music player as Walkman
X8 has music as music
Otherwise no difference ...only sound quality improved in w8
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can
there is particularly no difference in the firmware...so you can do it without any hesitation......
And I forgot to mention one thing above. The W8 speaker is much more better than the X8's. Probably because its Walkman branded.

Is it possible to install a newer version of xrecovery example xrecovery 0.3
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
I guess no because it needs to pe ported to our phone...(except it's already ported)
It just doesn´t work with our phone, otherwise we would already use it.
You could install it except it would be useless. It dosnt work with our phone only v 001 works I think

Everything here about xperia x8 is applicable to the w8 as well. Basically anything you see here for x8 can be used for w8. Froyo (android 2.2) roms here are usable on the w8. E.g. Froyobread, Racht's floyo roms etc. can be used on the w8.
Note: Next time use the search function before asking a question as it may already be answered.

Can it be vice versa, I mean, can I use original W8 firmware from SEUS on my X8?

I saw someone post that he managed to flash W8 firmware onto his X8 using SEUS . I haven't tried it out, but I think there are several threads on X8 dev section that have instructions on how to flash W8 firmware to X8. Search for them.
Note: They're probably not on the first page of dev section.
Ok, I'll look for it, or more simple, I'll just flash it and post results
Edit: Can't download stock firmware on SEUS, says that I have already newest firmware and there is no "Next" option, which usually is on Custom>Stock 2.1

i want to ask that if i install froyo roms on my w8 will it void my warranty
Sent from my w8 using xda premium
Yes, but rooting itself did it already
But if you flash 2.1 via Flashtool again , it will be there again, and you can send it to SE if you have problems.
So just don´t worry about that.

Hey guys. I would like to know if it's possoble to get the new 2.3 rom from the active on our phone. Because i like stock sony ericsson but for the x8 there's just 2.1...
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
I am using GingerCruzt 8.4 that is the most similar to stock rom. Here is the rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101691 and here are some screenshots of the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101691.
P.s. Hit thanks if this helped
To the OP, no, we cant because the hardware of the two phones is completely different.

i certainly gonna try this rom out thanks!

its would be great if some one will try to port rom to our x8 from active 2.3))
@mlop Try it and tell how it looks to you.
Hello people, I was looking for some custom roms and i find htc sense 3.5 and i really like how it looks like so I want to know does it exist that custom rom for x8 too??
There is no fully ported Sense ROM for the X8. Our phone can't handle it. You can only theme your ROM like that and install Sense themed apps.

hmmmm...but is there any launcher like that ?
Try stornmix
it is not based on sense but htc's other ui.
U can use pro launcher or go launcher with a sense theme too...actually it will not look exactly like sense....
But i believe that someone can port a lower version of SENSE UI to x8

If u just interested in sense lockscrren u can use the app : agile lock

Because there isn't any "lite" version of Sense. Devs have tried and eventually just forgot about it. Our phone just can't handle it.
Htc explorer has exactly the same specs. with x8 exept RAM...(512) and it uses sense UI 3.5
So litening it for x8 must not be something that hard

Hello Xperia X8 community i came from X10 lol , i come in peace !! well my friend has a X8 and he is a totally noob , dunno too much about android and rooting things , well the phone lost the system i know how to get it back by SEUS , my question is : whats the difference between Shakria, Robyn and Mimmi ?? and whats is Nightly means ??
and install the MiniCm10 rom is just like normal roms in X10 right , just flash the kernel the do the format stuff then install right ??
Btw i'm kinda noob i just don't too much about developing !!
Shakira,robynn,mimmi i think its devices internal code name. And i dont know who are robynn and mimmi are but the first name you mentioned was clearly X8!!!
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
Ohh i see , well i just open the phone cover , and there is E15i i think its Shakira like yours , so i will put shakira then , but 1st i think i should unlock my bootloader to load the kernel :/ so it gonna take time to go back to stock lol
Yup good luck! But make sure your X8 is under 11W29 if higher than 29 ect 30 31 and you may hardbrick your X8.
I know its a basic advice but it should remind you about the risks.

Robyn and Mimmi are codenames for X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro.

i think the main difference about these devices is there firmware? (correct me if im wrong) and Nightly means ROM releases that are unstable and is being changed from it's every release :victory:
Thanks for all the replies, well i fixed the phone like i do to my x10, and i guess it updated to latest version, now its on cm10 shakira, well the main difference between them is the device model i read that in seus, just like X10, got X10i or X10a so thanks any way
