I'll try to full wipe before and i would let you know if it works.
Thanks.
Edit: Great! the full wipe step solved the problem.
Thanks you very much, it looks pretty nice =]

I know this is old rom but in my opinion its a good rom...(for me)..
can anyone help me to solve this?
I will be thankful to those who help me...
oh one more thing..
can anyone share a link for samsung notes for this rom?(if the app exist for our x8 phone)...
GingerUltimate? Never heard of it. Must be very old and may be stopped. Use a new ROM.
Nobody uses that old ROM. So no one will be able to help you with a right solution. Try a new ROM instead.
And, I dont think there is Samsung notes for our phone. But, you can try using the SEARCH button.
Hit The THANKS Button If I Helped!

Choose either Froyopro or froyobread. I prefer the latter over the former.

Help idiot to installing costum rom on xperia x8

Ok I must say that I am idiot .... I soft bricked my phone like 5 times and now with my default kernel (flashed it) ... I have a huge battery problem and link2sd crashing problem ...
I have SE xperia x8 11w22 ...
I've been trying for 2 days to install GINGERXD on my phone ... I don't know why I can't do it ...
I installed cyanogenmod on my htc tattoo in like 2 hours with no problem .. but x8 gives me a lot of trouble ...
Right now I have default kernel on my phone ... rooted with flashtool and I have some FREEXPERIA RECOVERY... superuser app icon is android robots head with the pirate thing on his eye ...
one more thing .. how can I replace my current recovery with the clockwork one
PLEASE HELP ME WITH FULL GUIDE HOW TO DO THIS THING ( I don't want to screw up my phone :/ )!!!!!!!!
edit: I do not want to unlock bootloader ... I am scared of getting my phone hard bricked .. so if I can't install gingerxd without unlocking bootloader, please reccomend me some other good rom based on cyanogenmod that can work without unlocking bootloader
Well,you are not an idiot because you can't flash a rom!!! Calm down and everything will be fine
Did you full wipe/factory reset before installation of the rom?
For the battery problem try "wipe battery stats"

Op, what version of gdx are you trying to flash? Better use cwm, and do a full wipe BEFORE flashing the rom. Just search xda for the tut on how to install cwm on your x8.
Btw, gdx can run on stock kernel, so there is no need for you to unlock your bl. But out of curiousity, what's the maufacturing date of your phone?

I don't remember ..I've tried so many thing ...
what I am gonna do right now is:
1. flash my phone to default again (with flashtool, but I won't root and install recovery in flashtool)
2. root phone with superoneclick (or that';s not the right way ? )
3. install cwm recovery ( I will search on xda for tut.)
4. put rom on sd
5. wipe factory data
5. install rom via cwm
that's it... I mean is that the way it should be done ? I'm kinda really nervous .. only thing I don't want is hard brick on my phone ...
@cascabel I have no Idea of manif. date ... tnx btw
Ok that should work

Ok ..., I rooted my phone successfully and installed busybox but I don't know how to install cwm ... there are like 50 ways just on forum ... what is the safest way to do it ?
Every way is safe if you follow instructions.
If you are experienced user with moving things around your system,do it manual,if you want the most simple way do it with x8toolbox.

changing frequency of cpu.600MHz is default but you can overclock to 768/806MHz and your phone(cpu) will be faster

So it was a flaw in the ROM but I fixed it.
The new version (revised), you can now go ahead and download.

might be your hardware problem. but anyway, I'm not so sure! just helping you out!
flash kernel
sometimes its caused by not clean flashing process
if its your first time for this prob,
just try flash the kernel
wipe dalvik cache, etc
flash ROM
