Xperia X8 Kernel Tweaks for Wifi Use - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello my xperia X8 had a problem with its wifi in custom roms.
Basically it had this problem many times in the stock rom too but it could be fixed by factory reset and Sony Companion.
Anyway am currently using Ginger DX and i cant use the wifi.
I tried tweaking the modules and things but nothing .
I need an app or a way prefferably without custom kernel (because i fried my phone ones with this) to be able to use the freaking wifi
if the custom kernel is the only was so be it.
The error that i get is this when i open the wifi and got to its settings it turns on and off forever and somethimes i get the error that the wifi settings is not responding.
Thank you
If you need any info please feel free to ask.

LOL...Omg..sorry for not being clear enough..paste them in system/lib/modules and give them permissions like the way i posted in screenshot using root explorer...or you can open the .zip file of your Rom paste the libs in the modules folder and flash it again...either way hope it works~!

Thank you i did it and now waiting for it to reboot

Well it improved a bit now when i turn my wifi on it says error below the wifi next to the square

Please help i need wifi and i know that my hardware is fine now

you need wifi? reflash kernel, full wipe, and reinstall the rom, do not apply tweaks which you do not have a knowledge to apply because it can lead to malfunctions

[Q] Clockworkmod flashing problem

Hello Everyone,
Before proceeding, I have searched my problem, but I couldnt find an answer to it.
I am basically running GingerDX v26 on Stock Kernel, and whenever i try to install (flash) via CWM, it doesnt intalls,
I came to know about this, when I was trying to flash Sound Module by CKKnot, I didnt got the installation files in my respective directories. Furthermore, i tried flashing ICSified settings, but nothing happened.
Am I doing something wrong, or there is bug??
Please report me, and I will be really grateful to you guyzz!!!

What error do you get ? Try flashing another ROM. Does the ROM flash ? I had problems flashing ICS-ified settings on my GDx v27 (I finally did it)
So probably , we shared the same problem...
Or just use X8 Toolbox to re-install recoveries.

hello !!
please try this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507021 :good:
everythings work i test it it's owesome:good:
@Mayank77, the roms flash ONLY when i full wipe...:crying:
and this is the reason y i cannot flash some of the flashable zip files.,
PS, it completely shows me everything as normal script, but later when I locate the directory using root explorer, I dont have the files.
I noticed this when I was flashing CKKnots sound module, it related that "delete the files from soundfx folder" later when i flashed nothing was installed!! it was clean. rebooted multiple times but no chance, again i flashed, nothing happened.

You should've told the OP about the kernel requirements before suggesting him that and thus leading him to a soft brick.
I am almost sure he is on stock kernel.
and that ROM is NOT for stock kernel.

I rarely flash update zips.
I did have a problem with icsified settings. What i did was full wipe>flash gdx (i use v28 now), wipe again (to be safe), then flash icsified settings.

Wifi error on GDX 030

Hi, im new to the x8 and just flashed my first rom, its gingerdx v030 with alfs v09c and every time i try to turn on wi fi the word error appears appears, also, when i try to add an account the phone reboots itself
Any ideas why is this?

For the reboot when adding an account flash gapps, you can find them at the second post at gingerdx thread.
For the wifi error, try to forget all your wifi networks(including the one you are trying to connect) and add the pasword again. If this doesnt help full wipe and reinstall.

[Q] Xperia X8 On GingerXperia 2.3.7 Wifi Error

Hello i recently flashed Gingexrperia to my Xperia X8 and i can not open or close the wifi it says error.
1) I checked the wifi modules the tiwlan.ko and the sdio.ko and they are there (location : /system/lib/modules)
2) rooted phone
3) STOCK Kernel
4) Wifi had a problem even with android 2.1 and the thing is that Factory reset would usually fix it but i tried that on the 2.3.7 Rom and nothing.....
So thank you and please help.
Is your WiFi working when you are on STOCK ROM??
If no then it's probably hardware problem
If It's working on STOCK then check is WiFi working in ROM thread ,maybe developer couldn't solve wifi bug so he left it like that
If developer made WiFi working then try this:
Full wipe,flash chache partition,mount /system,format/system ,wipe dalvik chache,wipe battery stats
Re-flash rom
Thanks for your answer.
1)Yes the wifi worked occasionally with the stock rom and by occasionally i mean that when it was not working i had to factory reset a bunch of times to get it working.
2)No other Xperia X8 users have a similar problem by using this Rom (i checked and the only thing that was the cause was the kernel)
Also i have tried many Stock kernel Roms and they had wifi fix and wifi built in but the same thing happened every time.
3) I have already done those things but none of this work (or all of them simultaneously)
If problem occurs on every ROM you install then it's hardware or software problem(not sure where WiFi belongs)
But ask some other xda user who knows things better than me

Steps i think is needed:
1. Try to reflash LG Software 4.1.2 (see if solved. not? proceed next steps.)
2. Relock Bootloader
3. Send back to LG and hope they can solve it.
Sorry if my grammar was wrong I'm 15 and learning English.

Relock bootloader is not necessary (i have sure!), i already re-flash my phone with original firmware and did change nothing, still doesnt work! i will try 3º option you say, and i will contact LG about the problem...sure will say same thing you say to me: try to re-flash with firmware...
i'm asking here about to resolve this problem without contact lg, i sure was simple to resolve it with few steps! more experts person will give me the solution! anyway thanks, i wait for other responses of more experts in this forum...

i like the way u put it xD you havent changed anything.
"I have done some changes, remove some software i didnt use using titanium backup, freeze some apps and services too, remove some empty pastes in system directory using root explorer, install iodak kernel, install mods like sound optimization via cwm nothing more! My 4x have 3/4 months i have buying it new!"
if the kernel and mods are nothing then what ? xD especially kernel... kernel is everything. you know it could be the kernel also that caused u the problem. go read what kernel is. its the communication between software and hardware.
But ok you havent changed much

!OUTDATED! Use Walkerblue's Notexperience ROM!

EDIT : Dont use this, Walker blue has created a better version of the same ROM.here is link

Right on bro, at least everyone will know they can flash @Allooosh98'so N7 port. The options are finally growing ha. A big thanks to @messi2050 for the permissive kernel and TWRP.

Does WiFi fix work for anyone else? I still can't turn on WiFi. I followed instructions very closely. Thanks again, for working on the J700T

Don't know why the WIFI fix is not working, but in case it does not. Here are the instructions on how to do it manually.
Download this View attachment wifi.zip and put it in your exernal SD card.
In TWRP, mount the system ( Mount > Check system ), and then navigate to system/etc/wifi with the file browser ( Advanced > File browser )
Delete all the files in there, and then copy all the files from the zip to the wifi folder.
Reboot. If this does not work please tell me.
Sorry again about that.
Changed instructions in post until I can figure out why the automatic fix is not working.
wifi works now but will the camera bee fixableby transfering the apks of the original like the wifi
Nope, phone still crashes by moving the stock ROM camera app to the ROM.
Closest I've gotten to a working camera was a error "Server error occurred. Restart Camera." By changing out these files from the stock ROM to this ROM :
libcamera_client.so
libcamera_metadata.so
libcameraservice.so
libcameraserive_cameramodule.so
But for some reason changing out just those 4 files causes the phone to lag like crazy.
also one more thing snapchat force reboots aswell u could put that in the bugs
Yes Snapchat did the same for me but I figured because the camera bug. Can confirm installed and booted/working on J700T1 as well guys... no wifi

--Edit: seems like J700T1 and J700T have the same kernel, so you must of just missed a step. Still trying to figure out how to make the wifi fix just a automatic ZIP that you just flash, busy with school. Tomorrow I will look into it more.--

The T and T1 have the same wifi files, the phones are identical from the factory minus 3 or 4 apps. The firmwares are interchangeable. You must have missed a step, walk us through your process.
Also any app that has a camera built in reliance is not gonna work, clearly, since the camera isn't working yet.
I fixed my WiFi.
