Hello Guys ,
I am new here .
I want to install Mini CM Rom in my Sony Xperia X8.
I want to ask which version would be best for me .?
1) miniCM7 i.e Ginger Bread with nAa
2) miniCM9 i.e Icecream Sandwich with nAa-ics
or 3) miniCM10 i.e Jelly Bean... with nAa-jb
Will my cellphone will hang,run slow on miniCM9 or miniCM10....?
Also I have heard GingerDX is a good ROM which works with stock kernel also.. should i consider it over mini ICM....?
----> My phone is having stock kernel,stock ROM and not been Rooted even once..
Number 2
If i helped you hit thanks button

If you can unlock bootloader:
Minicm7 is a good choice for day to day use,gaming.interface doesn't look pretty
iXperia 8s v1.9.0 is a perfect rom for gaming, high multitasking, much free ram, iPhone look you may like or hate it also fmradio doesn't work on this rom (& some other known bugs)
Minicm9 is quite stable (comparing to minicm9) needs swap partition for better responsibility, around 20% slower than minicm7, most of gameloft games force close (because of android 4) ,perfect interface (I love it)
Minicm10 is for experiences of jellybean , forget gaming , not stable (still in nightly versions)
,perfect interface (better than Minicm9)
If you can't unlock :
Gingedx & froyopro are perfect,very stable & smooth
Depending on your bootloader & your personal expectation choose your rom
I like minicm9

First of all check whether u can unlock your bootloader or not then consider your options

You need an unlocked bootloader in order to play temple run(needs swap to extend RAM & better 3D performance)
I'm not sure about hotspot in froyopro, but I'm 99% sure that gingerdx supports hotspot & app2sd.

Are you saying I should go with Gingerdx or Mini CM7 (gingebread ones)..
I was thinking of getting MiniCm9 with swap partition from my memory card as RAM...(if i can unlock bootloader)
Do i need to have class 6 or higher memory card if i want to swap partition...?

you can install gdx on lock bootloader

for the best result.use custom kernel.try to unlock your bootloader.since your on 11w17.
now you can use gb (gdx) ,ics or jb.(cm7,9,10)

I find gdx v20 best for day 2 day use
Sent from my MOLEY_X8 using xda premium
for me..
and hightly recomment is GingerDX v20
and when you know after reading thread by thread you can match with kernel
linuxDX, or Alfs kernel, or nAa kernel...
it can simply make your device faster and smootherst
but beware if you new on kernel
(make sure your know what are U doing when playing with kernel and unlock bootloader)
because it can brick you phone!
and then I sure after this you will screaming here and asking how to save your bricked phone!!
here the answer use SEUS
gingerdxv20 for sure

U have to follow installation properly
make sure install GDX with CWM instead Xrecovery
and fullwipe..
or maybe your device 'special' same like my friend phone
(when I flashing GDX 20 and GDX v19 on his phone)
I found this problem = sdcard no show
but when in recovery = all files and folder prety there
and I have no idea why....
Gx with custom kernal no lag 8 day use

CWM? whats that?? i only had xrevocery no CWM ..is it like xrecovery where u click back when you see SE ?
No you need tap on the screen,also you need to have installed.

Click to expand...

when u reboot..
press volume down key or/and tap screen (when u see SE white logo)
u'll see CWM recovery and install GDX by this way
or if u can get into CWM th8 mean U don't have CWM
so install dual recovery.zip first (u can use search button)
or install other rom which one have dual recovery pre install
sorry long explaination
and hit thanks button twice!
thanks! (thanked already )
so in summary ...
open xrecovery and find CWM
if CWM is missing then go donwload it...
is cwm same with xrecovery?or is it and extension?
then use cwm and install the mod instead of xrecovery (do i need to system wipe?)
reboot phone then done?
hmmm just wondering will my link2sd apps will stay?
does it have anything to do with busybox? according to dotsen i must not update busybox
guys help me... i have relocked bootloader with froyopro 2.4 android s%#t 2.2.9 but nvm.
so i need to link me or post some tweaks for better performance,no laggy in games how to be smooth,stabke and etc. example i play pes 2012 or smurfs ville and my phone got rebooted ... pls help me with other rom maybe or whatever pls....
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using XDA
ummm, what? I didnt understand your words....
Why relock your bootloader ? It's not necessary to retur on stock kernel...
And nwm ? What does it mean ?
For your answer.. I don't play on my phone, but try minicm7.. very stable and fast.. But need to unlock your bootloader to install naA kernel
but when i relock bootloader my wifi rebooting after 5-10 min...

Have you try LinuXperia Escha Arch V7 ? You can use it on stock kernel (search on the first post on the thread).
Ok, I don't like the default theme (fully transparent is hard for my old eyes...), but you can easily change it... And performances are very good
i try yesterday...crap for me...cynagonen settings ****...some settings dont work .... so how i can unlock bootloader with good wifi work?

My bootloader is unlock.. and my wifi works as fine as my bootloader was lock...

Hey!!
I'm new on this forum. So I have rooted X8 (E15i) with 11W33 and I have GingerDX, but its slowly. I want to unlock bootloader for greater performance, but I read that bootloader unlock can permanently damage the phone. I search for safe roads to unlock phone, or better ROM for stock kernel. This phone Is my first with Android, so please understand me.
Dont try to unlock you wll brick ur phone. only below 11w29 its safe, above its playing with your luck:fingers-crossed:.
just try some stock kernel roms and find what suit you. i think dx is very good just update it or delete some unwanted apps that slow it down
if you want to check this support stock kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237930
if you want to stay with dx you can speed it up by overclock it with this module that u can find it in his thread
(GingerDX Overclock Module (x8oc.ko v004) ) but dont set very high frequences.
thats not true
check this forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506502
u can now unlock the bootloader above11w29+.
It is still 50-50% chance for 11w29-11w34 and above that through you're phone after trying it, only if you're very lucky you can have it work on 11w35+..

You can try, but there is a big chance that you end up with a hardbrick.

I dont want any chance to brick my phone. I tryed GingerDX + OC to 768 and governor performance but it's slowier than Stock rom. I downloaded unofficial MIUM rom and its quite faster, but still this is not good rom, i have only 20MB free ram, when i kill all apps.

This is my 1st time to install froyo,i used gingerDX a long time and i always get some anoying lags when install 10+ apps and i hate thath
I dont play games but I would like something thaths smooth and fast in multitasking.So i can have 2-3 widgets and open something normal thath i dont get lags,if is possible. Maybe is my SD card causing lags (class 2).
Yeah it must be your sdcard..
Partitioning it in CWM > Advanced would help though.. Choose ext4 filesystem > No ext > No swap..
Good luck..

Hi, for the first time I'm planning to install a custom rom so infact I'm doing this only because of native app2sd support:fingers-crossed: but to be honest I want a full compatible custom rom which should support and run most applications from market and performance should be good just like the stock 2.1 if not better... and if possible then camera and all other major functions should be working in it without any bugs.
That's all I ask .. currently I'm thinking about :
cyanogenmod
GingerDX
GingerZaraki
but I don't know which one is better Don't really want to unlock bootloader / kernels unless really necessary..
Thanks in advance.

Unlocking bootloader & installing a custom kernel is highly recommended ( if u don't know how to unlock & required build date DON'T TRY IT)
Best rom for stock is Gingerdx (my opinion) very stable, smooth.
Camera, etc works fine & without bugs.
Native app2sd is also supported
