Everything here about xperia x8 is applicable to the w8 as well. Basically anything you see here for x8 can be used for w8. Froyo (android 2.2) roms here are usable on the w8. E.g. Froyobread, Racht's floyo roms etc. can be used on the w8.
Note: Next time use the search function before asking a question as it may already be answered.

Can it be vice versa, I mean, can I use original W8 firmware from SEUS on my X8?

I saw someone post that he managed to flash W8 firmware onto his X8 using SEUS . I haven't tried it out, but I think there are several threads on X8 dev section that have instructions on how to flash W8 firmware to X8. Search for them.
Note: They're probably not on the first page of dev section.

Ok, I'll look for it, or more simple, I'll just flash it and post results
Edit: Can't download stock firmware on SEUS, says that I have already newest firmware and there is no "Next" option, which usually is on Custom>Stock 2.1

i want to ask that if i install froyo roms on my w8 will it void my warranty

Yes, but rooting itself did it already
But if you flash 2.1 via Flashtool again , it will be there again, and you can send it to SE if you have problems.
So just don´t worry about that.

My sony ericsson w8 have very less phone memory so i am not able to install more applications
So please anyone tell me any measure for it

[Q] How to install latest version of TIMESCAPE in Experia X8

i'm now using default ROM of SE android 2.1. I like the current version of timescape so much. Default version installed in X8 isn't so good if i compare it with new version of timescape. I rooted it already. Is there any way to install the new timescape without changing rom??
Thanks in ADVANCE
Nixon

Yes. I think so. You can check gingerdx post. It has timescape there. Hope this helped

[Q] Timescape error

all, Timescape can not be refreshed, from Xneo, Xarc, Xmini, X8 too. is there anything that can fix this??

Maybe there is problem with Timescape ... my mum's Xperia U has this problem with Timescape too and it's on stock kernel and rom also it's not rooted just clean stock phone ... or maybe you can try to change rom and try Timescape again

No difference at all
I didn't try installing x8's rom on w8.might be possible by flashing x8's stock 2.1.1 firmware.
+u can root,install recovery with flash tools application (for windows etc)
U don't need to unlock bootloader now (it's risky! May damage phone {we call hard brick})

I wonder why Sony made W8 while there was X8
Sent from my W8 using xda app-developers app

well actually as leecorp said there are clone models
W8 is nothing but a X8 with Walkman moniker and Android platform. It looks like Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, the difference being the body design, a walkman app and the name walkman on its body
yes you can install X8 roms on W8.
@gogeta
they made W8 so that people can get choice of the body and a W8 is a completely different phone for layman and it is priced bit more than X8 so basically to rob people not knowing the difference

The two phones are very identical in both design and in hardware specifications. The X8 come under Xperia range of smartphone and W8 under Walkman range of smartphone.So any rom for the X8 is a rom for the W8 and any rom for the W8 is a rom for the X8

It is normal Sony Ericsson's policy. Look on other old walkman phones. All of them is based on other non walkman phones. For example: w200 and k510, w800 and k750, w610 and k550.

Both are same
W8 has music player as Walkman
X8 has music as music
Otherwise no difference ...only sound quality improved in w8

Yes you can
there is particularly no difference in the firmware...so you can do it without any hesitation......

And I forgot to mention one thing above. The W8 speaker is much more better than the X8's. Probably because its Walkman branded.
