[Q] GingerDX

Hey Guys
Am kind of lost At the Gdx instruction thingies
Okay i know how 2 install it
..
So
i have the 2.1 ..
With all the required Stuff
the baseband number...etc
So is it now like always?
P.S: My bootloader is unlocked ..
So again is it like always
install ZIP From either Xrec.. Or CWM??
And about the recommendation 2 install The Linux
is it Safe???????
Completely Safe i mean???
And what are the benefits of Linux + GDX ?
..
your answers are gonna be the reason 2 either install the Rom Or not :/
So please HELP?

I did like this :
1.FULL wipe
2.flash gingerdx v017
3.flash linuxdx
And everything is good Is it safe? If you did everything all right its safe now with latest gdx with latest linuxdx i have=NO LAG AT ALL, EVEN WITH MANY APPS INSTALLED AND LOW RAM! ! i really easily recommend it to you

If you read carefully GingerDX v014+ requires CWM for install it, for v013- versions you can install with xRecovery.
And GingerDX is safe, little bugs in some versions but with solution in almost all.
In my opinion the battery drain is the most important issue, with the Governor in ONDEMAND my battery drains just in the night 20%, that's a lot. Now, with Smartass, the battery drains just 3% over night.
I don't know about the performance with LinuxDX Kernel. I can't help you with that.
I'm sure that in the respective post you can get more information.

Totally wrong order. You should:
1. copy rom to SD
2. flash kernel from PC
3. install rom from X8 recovery
4. full wipe
0 - make backup

Guys for the love of God don't Get me confused ..

Just flash the kernel,ater that do afull wipe, and then flash the ROM in CWM-Recovery.
And if it´s not stable, flash stock ROm with stock kernel again and flash ONLY GingerDX without the Kernel.

Dude
while flashing the Linux
it stopped ..
And told me 2 tick the God damn USB debugging !!
DAMN I FORGOT 2 TICK IT BEFORE !!
And the phone now won't Go ON..
At ALL !!
it just shakes ..
Then nothin
Am trying 2 Fix it with Sony ericsson update service
But the installation is STUCK!
completely it won't Work..
..
Damn????

you should flash by flashtools .

Or the battery is low.. it happened to me once when flashing my gf's x8. It took a while for me to realise it. Lol. Just a suggestion, based from my experienced.

KERNEL - this you flashing using FlashToll from PC
ROM - zip file that you installing from CWM or xRecovery
Proper order (I assume that bootloader is unlocked already):
1. Make backup of apps using TitaniumBackup then xRecovery or CWM
2. copy new ROM to SD
3. turn on USB debugging
4. disconnect USB cable
5. shut down phone
6. run FlashTool and press "flash"
7. press and hold "back" button in phone and plug in USB
8. wait for flash is done ("flash complete ... disconnect ...")
9. disconnect USB
10. turn on phone and start tapping screen to enter CWM
11. using CWM menu install custom zip
12. do full wipe
13. reboot
14. wait.... it can take up to 5 mins
15. install Titanium and restore apps
If it will not run you just flash back stock kernel, then seus for stock rom, root it, install xrecovery or cwm and restore backup.

What was wrong ? Mini CM9 on Xperia X8

Hi everybody,
I tried yesterday to flash my phone with the new mini CM9 + nAa 04 kernel... It did not work resulting in a soft brick.
I solved this problem by flashing back to the stock rom + kernel using flashtool. My device is now working as before.
After many unfruitful research on the forum, i'm forced to ask you what wrong did I do...
My phone was (and is) configured as follow :
Kernel : stock 2.6.2.9
Rom : Android 2.1
Base Band Version : M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Built : 2.1.1.C.0.0
Rooted
Bootloader : unlocked
Today I installed xRecovery (which is not needed if I use the Kernel E15_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04).
Is it problematic if I want to use the mini CM9 rom ?
How did I do :
I started by flashing the kernel using flashtool and with the latest version kernel E15_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.
The manipulation was successful and kernel was working well.
Then, after having backed up all my settings, apps, contacts, rom and wiped off the data factory settings, I started to flash the rom with CWM (the rom had been stored before on my SD card).
Once the installation finished, the phone reboot... and reboot .... and reboot, etc...
It was only able to display the nAa kernel screen (boot loop), but nothing more.
Finally, I flashed it back to stock version to use it again... OUff
I was a bit scared by the idea of having a hard brick but finally it was just a soft brick.
What do you think about my experience ? I know many of you think that people who do not have necessary skills to do it should not do it ^^ but I want to learn and to make my phone a bit more flexible and fast.
Thank you in advance !
Nico

Your hardware and software seems alright to me.
Steps: Don't bother about xRecovery. From stock 2.1...
Root again
Flash nAa-ics kernel
Install MiniCM9 and Gapps from first post of MiniCM9 thread
FULL WIPE -- YOU MUST DO THIS
WIPE DALVIK-CACHE TOO
Reboot and have fun

Full Wipe will solve the problem.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
So I don't understand what was wrong as I completely wiped the system prior to flash the Rom.
I proceeded exactly like that :
1.Wipe data factory
2.Wipe cache
3.Wipe dalvik-cache
4.Format system
5.Format cache
6.Format data
7.Rom installation
8.Flash Gapps
I think I have done all the necessary steps to make it working ...
I was maybe not enough patient after installation ?
I'm going to try again today (now I know how to recover from a soft brick ).
Thank you all again.

[Q] Battery Problem After 4.1.2 update

Hello:
I was using leaked JB for 6 months, it was great, battery stay for full day ( talking, net, video..etc.) , then I update the official update, just to face battery drain, now I'm charging 3 times/day, it is not normal, the battery is 50% for example, I got a call, then it drop to 1% and the phone close, then after I open it, it give me 10%, if I close for 5 minute, then open again, it may give me 15% , if I charge it, it can jump to 70% in few minutes.
I don't think it is a problem in the battery it self, as this happen suddenly after update.
I read threads about calibration of the battery after new room, but I can't do this cause I'm not rooted and I can't find the safe kernel to root
here is my phone info :
Model N7000
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version : n7000xxlso
kernel version: 3.0.31-906407
build number: JZ054K.N7000JPLSB
any advice how to solve battery problem and root the device

you can use the attach file to root ur device. Just flash it from recovery.
Use the below link to get the custom safe kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
do a full wipe and reinstall the rom and then flash the kernel and then flash the attach file to root.

Thank you, Please correct me if I'm worng
You said (do a full wipe and reinstall the rom and then flash the kernel and then flash the attach file to root.)
As far as I know, I should install the safe kernel, then wipe data!
So What I think I should do ( Please correct if I'm worng)
1- Download this kernel (JPLSB)
as I have this (Baseband version : n7000xxlso, kernel version: 3.0.31-906407, build number: JZ054K.N7000JPLSB )
2-Flash the kernel using ODIN
3-Wipe data -Factory reset
4- Wipe Dalvic data
5-Install the new Rom
6-Flash the attached file to root the device
7- Most Important : what to do to get the battery back !!! will it be ok after the above steps or I should find some files to delete or using
app that do calibration ??:cyclops:

You can use any recovery you want (; as long as it's compatible with the XSP of course..
I heard though on the prerooted .201 FW thread Philz causes loss of IMEI and/or baseband
