wifi teethering now possible on X8?

Hi,
as in the topic, is it possible to use wifi teethering now on a X8? I understand that the bootloader hat to be unlocked, which seems is possible to do now.
Can anyone please point me into the right direction?
What must I do?
- unlock the bootloader?
- install a new kernel (or does that come with any ROM already?)
- which ROM do you consider me to get?
Thanks.

1.Unlock bootloader
2.Flash GingerDX with LinuxDX
3.Use Barnacle wifi tether

Is it still not possible to use the Android built in teethering method on the X8 with some on the latest Rom's then?

On FXP ROM after 028, it is possible to use it

If he use barnacle wifi, it's not necessary to do something else. Barnacle works with different way.
Otherwise he must do the steps that you propose.

Hi, thanks for the info.
it seems as if the developement of FXP Rom is stopped now, as Cyanogenmod released a port for the X8 device today? (which currently isn't downloadable at http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira) ?
So should I wait until I can get CM, as it is supposed to work with that also, right?
I have already put another Rom on my X8 a few months ago, is there anything else I need to do now?
As the bootloader got unlocked.. Is there something I need to do to make CM7 and wifi-teethering to work then?
Sorry.. for my dumb question.. But the X8 is not my main phone.. I really only need it for wifi-teethering

The ROM FXP 043 has a built-in option for WiFi Tethering in WiFi and Network Settings.

and reboots instantly when u turn on wifi?

Install barnacle...you do not need your bootloader unlocked with it
I do not advise you to install fxp rom and kernel because that are no stable

I have 2 X8 (Me and My daughter) - both with GingerDX (v017, v014), stock kernel, no unlocked boatloader and Burnacle works very well for Me (usually I tether My GSM data to My daughter in a car)

Start wireless tethering -> while lap top connecting to the wifi -> Stop and restart tether quickly and it should be detected

hmm ..
i have GingerDX V18 and i cant tether my connection to my ipod
Barnacle starts .. ipod finds wifi and connect but no internet

I got it. Connected with my ipod. When it was trying to connect i just click associate but i dont know if it have something to do with it. Give it a try

Wifi tether - no interent connection
I have X8 E15i
- unlocked bootloader
- full wipe
- miniCM 2.1.5 installed
Works perfectly, but i can connect to the X8 with wifi from a notebook, but no internet connection. (I tried barnacle, with the same result... I tried with and w/o WPA, same result ... )
Edit: Finally, i can use wifi tether with X8.

Wifi with 802.1x EAP

Hi, I need to connect to a wifi university, and his security is 802.1x EAP.
I make the connexion correcly but it doesn't connect.
I read that a lot of ROM's don't connect with wifi 802.1x...
I need a ROM that it can connect... Or some instruccions for connect with a ROM
My actual ROM is GingerDX v018
Thanks (and excuse my poor english and if are more post like this)

Hi man, I have the same issue, now I'm using gingerdx v019 with linuxdx kernel and doesn't work,i tried also with stock kernel and gingercrutz 7.5, I't very sad to see my friends with an old Nokia connect without any problem.

I'm having that problem too, with GingerDX v19.
I heard somewhere than froyobread is capable of connect to it, but I didn't tryed it.

Someone can confirm that??? tnx

Yes, Froyobread is compatable with eduroam
I tested many roms and i can't guess why some roms connecting with eduroam unseccesfully.
Eduroam works for example on froyobread, Minicm 2.0.7, stock rom
Doesn't works for example on GingerDX, GingerXperia, GingerCrutz

thanks a lot, I didn't try with stock kernel at my university because i bough the x8 in summer; I can't figure out why it cannot work on gingerbread based rom

I have the same problem. Now I installed Froyo Pro v01 and tommorow will test in my university.

i wait your brief , if workk I think il will pass to froyo... and It will not be easy beacuse with linuxdx xrecovery was removed and I think Il will need to go back to stock kernel again

Has anyone found a recent ROM that works with 802.1x EAP MSCHAPV2? GDX 21 doesn't.

I'm also looking for a Custom ROM that allows us to connect to these kind of networks. Now, I can't test them because, as we are preparing our exams, we don't have to go to the University, so I don't know if ROMs work with WPA Enterprise or not.
I have tested two Custom ROMs so far, and this is what I've found out:
GingerDX v021: it didn't connect to the 802.1x PEAP network.
FroyoPro v2.3: it connected twice. The second time was a bit hard to connect, but it did. After that, I couldn't connect to the Eduroam network anymore.
I'm going to test GingerCruzt v8.5 next week in order to check if newer versions of wpa_supplicant (0.6.10 in this ROM) work succesfully. This ROM is based on MiniCM7, so... let's see.
I'll post the results as soon as I test it.

Only froyo ROM has a chance to connect the dev should fix it but they don't care

FroyoPro works perfectly

Does it? As I said, I could connect to a WPA 802.1x twice with that rom, but that's all... I don't know if I did something wrong or something...
Anyway, I'm going to test GingerCruzt 8.5 right this afternoon after an exam. I'll post the results this evening.

OK, I've tested GingerCruzt v8.5 at my University and it seems to connect to a 802.1x network (PEAP and MSCHAPv2) correctly (I did it manually). I haven't been able to test it a lot, but it didn't seem to cause any trouble.
I think it is because it has 0.6.10 version of wpa_supplicant or something like that. I supose that this ROM and any other based on MiniCM7 (including this one) would work.
I will continue testing more and more ROMs. Furthermore, I will try to make GingerDX work with this kind of networks, trying to update wpa_supplicant.

No, Killjoy is talking about the more-or-less discontinued CyanogenMod for the Xperia X8 (from the FreeXperia Team).
If you want to install it (not recommended, the ROM is highly buggy and feature incomplete), you need to unlock your boot loader to install the FXP kernel to make the ROM work ... as for installation ... simply search the forum, there are some installation guides around.
You could also give WiFi Tether a try ... I had it working on GingerDX v019 through v021 by using the 3.1 Beta version (though in my case it was the 3.1-pre105).
NOTE: If you're on Stock you at least need to root the ROM!

Barnacle work fine for me, other phones discover me normal... gdx 19-21

yeah i was talking about the rom B.Jay was talking about, i've used it for months and found no errors or bugs so far, it does great at what i want it for which is music, texting, general internet use and wifi tether. Barnacle is so slow on my X8, which is why i changed to this, make sure you turn on the "Auto Associate" in the settings then it'll refresh every 5 second util a device connects. if not, try PDANet and use wired tether.

i would greatly suggest unlocking bootloader + nAa kernel + cm7-2.1.6!!
try it!!

Everything is normally installed, the phone started but WiFi won't work
Whenever I activate it, it turns off automatically and I can't connect to the Internet.

Maybe you've flashed wrong one, flash nAa-5 or 6 kernel because it uses newer wifi driver.
