FTFY
wanna thank xda? here
but it is not impossible to be ported to xperia x8 with stock kernel would not work properly because the stock kernel has many limitations, custom kernel is not smooth but for an everyday use.
hopefully the xda can carry large jelly bean for stock
excuse my bad English
The drivers,modules and other things required to run Jelly Bean Roms cannot be supported by the Stock kernel.Remember that it was made for Eclair after which 5 versions of Android have come out.From ICS onwards the Android versions will be too difficult to support on the Stock Kernel.I am not saying its impossible but it will lag a lot and many functionality which we can get in Custom Kernels will be lost.Also bugs will be in-numerous. Our device has only 168MB of ram and the Jelly Bean Rom(even ICS) is too large for our device.Thats why most of the people still use Gingerbread,cause its light weight and fast and a lot of Bugs have been fixed.When Key Lime Pie come out the MiniCM10 project MAY BE discontinued and many of the Jelly Bean bugs wont get fixed.Just like what happened to Honeycomb.So I will advice you to stick with Gingerbread or maybe ICS and dont go above it even on Custom Kernels.
This is only my opinion.

first i have a w8 with 12w02 and i see a lot of roms with stock kernel but all of them (as i know) based on CM, so i really miss sony's apps like alarm, clock...
guys pls tell me a rom is a ported from xmini, lww... so we both have ginger bread and sony's apps
tks
But they are good roms, just try. As i know its not possible to port from 2011 devices. Cause they are armv7, x8 is armv6

Try the old (but good ) GingerCruzt rom. This have SE look, and use some original SE app. Up to 8.4 it works on stock kernel (the latest 8.5 require custom kernel). And some xgin roms use some SE apps (widgets, contacts app, etc) around version 5.6-6.0. These roms is abandoned, and hard to find working download link. Unfortunatelly only these old hybrid solutions exist (cm7 + some SE apps) for stock kernel. If you lucky, maybe in the android development section you can find newer stock based roms what contains original SE apps (I not follow every rom threads), but do not want too much, these roms usually contains only SE launcher, timescape, some original widgets, dialer/contacts, xperia themed message app, 50-90% xperia look, and some apps what have modified UI to look similar to the SE apps.
Try semc Debrand by achotjan little buggy but stable and workable, does require custom kernel tho

unfortunately, the op's date is 12wXX. so unlocking his bootloader is a huge risk.
@op: i understand your preference for sony's stock apps. but there are a lot of nice alternatives for them. if you don't want that, stock rom is pretty good (considering the situation).

tks you guys all, i'll try these roms.
i tried to ub my phone few days ago and got a hard brick
but luckily it's under warranty, so now i've got 11w21 hurayyyyyyyy
I guess u got lucky Now i guess u can unlock your phone's bootloader. For custom rom with sony look and feel i would recommend Gingercruzt 8.1/8.5 for stock kernel and 8.5 for custom kernel

I don't know...About the risk i think that it would be better if you won't unlock your bootloader,because you don't know what date of manufacturing you have, and it's not with old kernel.This is the date of manufacturing the motherboard.
@voncount from who you know that you have 11w21 ?
I think GingerCruzt or XGin..
I'm kind of a rookie when it comes to this, I've only ever put a custom rom on a phone that was 3 years old and I know this phone is only weeks since release!
But will custom roms eventually be made for this?

Unfortunately, the only way to root the SP (At this moment) it's unlocking the bootloader and flashing an auto rooting kernel. There are 2 kernels for the SP, one has CWM recovery.

I'm working on preparing everything for CarbonRom
- device_sony_huashan: Device configuration files for Xperia SP
- device_sony-viskan-common: Board configuration files for Xperia SP board
I'm still in exams at university, so I don't have time to start editing the kernel sources at the moment, hopefully cm will pus their sources soon so I can start and see if I made my files good
For people that also want to build a source based rom:
These sources are not usable without edited kernel sources for Xperia SP!!
What do you guys think the chances are that the SP gets a CM10.1 release? And will it be official or unofficial?
I'm on the fence whether to get this phone or not, and this is the deciding factor for me.
It is hard to say what will/not happen as this device is new and only just been rooted if you don't open bootloader.
For true custom roms you need kernels and that needs unlocked bootloader.
Personally I don't care much for custom roms I am happy on stock but with mods that might come along...
Just wait and see what others bring when Xperia z gets 4.2.2 then the ports will start.

If you want Samsung's original JB you can try I9070ITVLQ3 (with I9070XXLQG baseband), but you have to root it, debloat (ie eliminate unnecessary apps, you can find a guide to do it and root on xda) and change kernel (for stock rom I prefer CoCore). For now the best is CM10.1 by Team Canjica, you can also try CM10.2 by the same team.

You need custom recovery. Do you have CoCore kernel installed? If you do, go to recovery (power on phone with VolumUP+Home+Power buttons hold at the same time untill you fill some vibration). There go to Install from SD card, if you put that zip in internal, and install it. Do the same with that crt mod.
More explanation - what you need before using mod:
1. ROOT.
2. CoCore.
For first install of CoCore do this: Install Universal kernel flash, and some explorer with root permissions like Root explorer or ES file explorer. Download CoCore zip, unpack it and use kernel.bin.md5 file with Universal kernel flash. After that you will get CWM or TWRP (depends what CoCore version you choose). From that part you can install CRT off MOD by installing its zip from recovery.

Yes i did. Before i upgraded my phone to jellybean, everything was so smooth on gb, multitasking, gaming performance are really better on gb when compared to jellybean. My phone still can run smoothly even though i have installed 50 ++ apps when im on gb ,but not anymore when im on jellybean. So the stability, gaming performance and multitasking performance are better in gb. If upgrade to jellybean u can get to experience a newer firmware but at the cost of some performance degradation. But actually jellybean also not that bad just will become laggier when ur system becomes heavy and bad multitasking performance only. Also as soon as u upgraded to jellybean, u can get to flash any custom rom available which will help u to solve the lag problem.

In terms of performance, you can just try to upgrade to JB, root it and then you can try any kernel customization which tweaks the performance too.

Right now using minicm7 with Oxydo ZCF 04 kernel (nAa kernel has low battery life, I think )

The reason I switched from primeHD 10 was when I multitasking problem.
I use opera mini. I have unstable Wi-Fi connection. and when I put opera mini in background to connect again , I lose all websites in tabs. (at Max 1 or 2 ). If you know what fix for this, I can happily go back to primehd10.
Prime hd was my first rom on my x8 with naa kernel the most fastest rom... now i m using mini cm7 bcoz prime hd is older if its updated then it would be best rom ever for x8... i recommend u to try prime hd and mini cm7 and stick to any one....

It really depends on what you need.
2.2 is fastest, but it's really outdated. If you have a locked bootloader, then froyo may be your best choice.
2.3, though itself outdated, is still supported by many apps (though you can argue that most of those apps support 2.2 as well).
4.0, i can't say since i never liked ics and only tried a few roms for a bit.
4 1 is tye most updated android version we have right now. Some say it's too slow, but i personally don't think so. Our phone does have very limited ram, but you can either limit your apps installed, use a class 10 sdcard for swap (i prefer zram though), or add some tweaks.
For 2.2 i personally like froyobread and froyopro.
2.3 is gdx (dx's) and minicm 7.
For 4.1 i use yair's rom.
Edit: most people would say gb is the go-to rom regardless if you have a locked bl or not. I suggest you try gb first. :thumbup:
JB all the way for me
Best for X8
hie,
our X8 is a great device , our great developers have made all Android OS to run on it:good : .
but,according to my experience , x8 works best on GB(Android 2.3). its is very stable on GB . Froyo(Android 2.2) is also nice but nowadays there are many apps that require minimum android version of 2.3 . On the other hand ICS & JB(Android 4.0+) are great fr their looks and UI but our X8 just works on 600Mhz processor and 0.25gb ram,therefore JB is not stable and lags a lot on X8.
Conclusion:- You will get best performance and stability on GB for your X8.

For 4.1 i use yair's rom.
Edit: most people would say gb is the go-to rom regardless if you have a locked bl or not. I suggest you try gb first. :thumbup:

hie,
our X8 is a great device , our great developers have made all Android OS to run on it:good : .
but,according to my experience , x8 works best on GB(Android 2.3). its is very stable on GB . Froyo(Android 2.2) is also nice but nowadays there are many apps that require minimum android version of 2.3 . On the other hand ICS & JB(Android 4.0+) are great fr their looks and UI but our X8 just works on 600Mhz processor and 0.25gb ram,therefore JB is not stable and lags a lot on X8.
Conclusion:- You will get best performance and stability on GB for your X8.

If you didn't get your phone 2nd-hand, you probably have a locked bootloader. Don't worry. There are roms for locked bootloaders. Personally, i prefer gingerdx for gb. Froyobread or froyopro for froyo. As long as you don't try to unlock your bootloader if your manufacturing date is 11w29 and up, then the risk is minimal. Search a little and you'll find guides on how to flash roms and/or unlock your bootloader. Good luck. Just read and search and you're safe.
As long as you don't hard brick your phone tryingvto unlock your BL OR flash a wrong kernel you should be safe. Just search a bit. :thumbup:

My advice is read, read, search, and understand.

hi all,
i js have a simple question....
i dont wana mess a lot with my xperia sp though i can install cm11 latest
once i installed it ,my phone signal n imei gone,bt then i reinstall my stock rom and it came back n worked fine
now all knows that ther is some lag in xperia sp 4.3 update
so wat u suggest guys......
i am a lil negative abt custom rom bcoz sony has a lot features like stamina,glove n all,
well i dunno that much so i ask u guys, tell me if cm is best for me then first of all ..how to install it.
and if stock works good them send me a link of modded stock rom so i wont get any lag.
well i hv to tell u that i can do evey thing to get smoothness on the fone,if cm11 is smooth tell me eays to get gloce mod n stamina with this too.
plz no suggestions for any other custom rom. only cm11 or stock rom will be appreciated .
These kind of threads are not really allowed here
But to answer:
ExistenZe is a good Stock Based Custom ROM...
I still use fully Stock and I have no issues whatsoever
~~ Regards
why u only want to try cm11 or stock?
PA and PAC are faster than cm and u get great battery life.
Im right now on PA and I tried cm11 many time but it always lag.
if u want a fast stock based rom, then try eXistenZ Ultra.
