This topic has been superceded by the MoDaCo Custom ROM topic - please continue discussion there.
Thanks!
Could a mod close this topic?

Thanks! i'll give it a try tommorow or sunday .

Downloading now... will report back!

Updated to latest baseband, and put this zip on internal SD card, but can't seem to mount SD card in CWM it says... what am i doin wrong? :S
Edit:
Error is
E:Can't mount /sdcard

I think you have to put it on the external SD card...

Well, i didn't get any with the phone, and haven't bought any. So don't have any

Like morsha said, you need to have an external sdcard for this operation, it seems
/edit
Flashed new baseband - OK
Flashed ext4 ROM - OK (quite fast), but wifi seems to have some problems... :S
/2nd edit
wifi is working again after ned flash with full wipe... Seems the wifi driver gets corrupted when the filesystem is convertet, but stays intact when system is reinstalled the 2nd time.

Let's try it again
update: yep it works with wifi now! thanks for the tip.

Basically, to get wifi working again, you do this:
Flash rom, boot phone, reboot into recovery, flash rom again, then boot phone again. And poof, your wifi should work like a charm again. ^-^

a big thank you Paul for your great work

Nice speed improvements, thank you. Don't forget to update your baseband first to avoid the WiFi errors!

Weird enough my tapatalk app can't find it's license with this one. Tried both new install and upgrade. No biggie but maybe good to know.

@Paul
Is it possible to get a mirror? I got problems downloading from that site to my phone.
Or anyone else who can share another download location? Thanks

I've just realised the cause of the flashing error - i'm doing the EXT4 conversion too early in the process, i'll move it to AFTER the system write in the next release.
For now, flash, reboot, run recovery and flash again.
Apologies!

[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

you flashed gapps with wifi fix.That is the problem,I guess.
Re-flash everything again...DON?T change anything in file you've downloaded--->leave SuperSU and flash antoher gapps without wifi fix
GAPPS
New version v31b STOCK---> HERE
Try it,you have nothing to lose

Wifi Connection Issue .108 + .118

So as Im sure everyone here knows, new firmware updates have rolled out...
For some odd reason, though, I cannot enjoy them. I came from iHackers 4.1 ROM and attempted to update to the Criskelo .118 ROM. All went okay, except the wifi kept saying "turning on."
Then, amongst other problems, I tried to go to just a stock .108 by downgrading... Still, "turning on wifi."
I'm not sure if there is any relevance, but I had Phil/TWRP dual recovery installed. The Criskelo ROM instructions said I had to have CWM if on a locked bootloader, but I am unlocked. Perhaps I misunderstood and it has to be CWM for both? I did notice that despite many efforts to get my dual recovery back, I was stuck with CWM (I did get dual back though eventually).
So could the problem have been with the conflicting recoveries? And perhaps it didn't install the kernel or ROM properly?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The recovery has nothing to do with the functionality of wifi or anything in the ROM for that matter. Did you do a full wipe before installing the Criskelo ROM?
Other than that, make sure you're using the right baseband for .118. (if it even has changed)
If that all fails, make a backup of everything on your phone (also your internal 'sdcard') and do a full re-install of the official .118 ROM using flashtool.

Yup, I made sure to do a full wipe before I installed it. I did do a backup of my internal and external SD cards just in case something managed to go wrong somehow... Im pretty sure I used the correct baseband, but I will double-check and also try your suggested method using flashtool. I'll let you know how it goes, and thanks for the response!

You had better bring your phone to the service if you don't want WiFi module dies.

Forgive me for asking, but what would be wrong with the module? Wouldn't it not work at all of that were the case? It's working right now...

Alright so it's definitely not the module. I just flashed PAC's 4.4.4 Beta ROM. The wifi successfully turns on and I am able to view networks, as well as connect to them. So why then, can I not seem to get wifi working on stock based 4.4.4 or .108/.118 ROMs? Any ideas?

I have searched on google your problem and it seems that there are more people who has/had this problem. So, might be an Skype problem. However, i didn't encounter this problem until now.

Is this problem happening since you installed this Rom?

In the same boat...anyone can how to solve this, please?

[ROM][5.1.1] The Android Open Source Project by LuK1337

First of all sorry if by any chance I am opening a new thread in the wrong section. But as a new user iam not allowed to post in the original devs post. I flashed this rom and gapps and everything seems ok (this is my first time flashing a custom rom ). My issue is that with the stock rom rooted (5.0.2 xt1068) I had about 430-470mb of ram free at idle with no recent apps open and after flashing this rom iam having quite poor ram management about 280-300mb of free ram. Is that normal? Also already wiped dalvik cache and restart a couple of times. Thanks in advance.
PS. Also the GPS is not working as I just found.
edit: ( never mind the GPS i fixed it with the erase modenst1-2 in bootloader)

Yeah, the RAM is normal, every rom is optimized diferently.

Thanks man really appreciate the response.

Another question is that I want to flash the latest update to this rom. What do I have to do? Reboot into recovery wipe cache/dalvik cache ,flash the updated rom and wipe cache/dalvik cache again? If yes do I have to flash su again? Gapps I suppose and everything else stays untouched.

If u want apps and other stuf just wipe cache and dalvik otherwise clean install means clean everything system data cache dalvik

Thanks man. What about root? Do you know if I have to flash su again? Although it seems kinda stupid question I guess. If there is no root I will just have to flash it.
PS
Everything went well. It turned out I had to flash su again.

Hey guys I just found out that the HW+ decoder is not supported in MX video player. Can anyone confirm that or it just in my device. Since I don't know the difference between SW-HW-HW+ can someone give me a brief explanation. What is Best?
