X8 android development. - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I want to find out about flashing an x8 and as theres still no x8 forum here I thought the x10 mini ones would be the best place to ask. I wouldnt mind building a custom rom for it.

Well, thats a great idea!
The bootloader is locked and u can read more about it in the X10i thread, so we can't flash custom roms yet.
But having a cooked rom waiting is still a step forward.
Hardware is much like the HTC Legend, what do you need to start?

You need the following stuff:
1) root (can get it via z4root, SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak)
2) custom recovery (ClockworkMod, AmonRA)
3) custom ROM - froyo or gb based (devoid.franco, void#echo, megatron, CM7 by mik_os, GingerBread by andy)
If you are looking for performance, I'd suggest you to flash devoid.franco, andy's GB or mik_os CM7. Read the feedback from users on each thread and flash the ROM that suits you best.
Instructions how to install different stuff you can get on each developer's thread.

How to use custom roms
Hi.
Search for flashtool in this forum... it will help you root your phone and get xrecovery and busybox installed. You will need that to install custom roms.
Custom roms will also be found in this forum, so a little search will help.
Keep in mind that GB for X10 does not have full camera implemented. I have Froyo (MIUI) which works like a charm for me.

Classic!! lol...
Check this out
You'll find that most people here are willing to help out, but you are expected to do your homework also. As you can see, all the questions you might have have been asked before. If you search first you'll find most of your answers faster than posting a new thread. AND if you still don't find what you need people will be a lot more willing to help seeing that you tried before. Enjoy!
To be fair I tryed using the search function yesterday numerous times and it didn't work. Kept saying come back in 20 minutes.
Really frustrating and I always seem to need help when its not working.
Sort it out xda

Helppp pleaseeeee!!!!!

ok...am not new to androids, infact i do a bit o' developing. now, a friend of mine sold me his x10 (white, unlocked, international version).
i have had LG's and Samsung's before, but never have had the pain as such. rooting and installing CWM and then installing a ROM was effortlessly simple.
am thinking of
1. unlocking the bootloader
2. installing an OC kernel
3. then testing out the awesome ROMs u all have....AND
4. port the superawesome PRADA ROM to the x10.
so, if any of you might kindly consider showing me the way round here, i shall be grateful.
P.S. - i tried to follow the tutorials on the general section, but i feeel am gonna mess it all up (and i frankly don't have much time getting it back again and start over from scratch). so please....

HERE
voila
I guess what you mean is how to start right?
maybe:
1. download the rom you'd like to go for and copy it to SD card
2. download the kernel flash using Flashtool
3. install the rom using Recovery
whether OC or not depends on the kernel, so watch out and pick up the right one.

OMG, is it really that hard to use brain and search field?
Look at the first post in this forum
sometimes, noobs don't know what to search..
here's something for you..
there's still no good/stable JB rom, but there are several ICS ROMs that is good.. just go check some thread there with [ROM] tagged. learn to read.
instructions are included. just read, search on google or XDA for if you have questions or problems, or ask a friend of yours in who know.. so, make as much as you can in this forum.
Modifying your Ray will Void your warranty., if your Phone was bricked or dead, there are always a solution for that. the more you visit in this forum, the more things you will learn.
first, you need to ROot your phone. (use Doomlord's method, search for it)
and also, to change kernel, you need to Unlock Bootloader,.
Whether "noobs" know what to search they should be capable of reading, if they did they would see there is a Q & A topic.

[Q] How to install Custom ROM?

Hey guys,
I've bought a SE Xperia Mini Pro a week ago, and I've been thinking on installing a Custom ROM. Is it worth it? I mean, I'll lose the device's warranty... Can you guys give me a complete guide to do this? I want to install CM10, I think it's the best...
After installing the Custom ROM, is there a way to "recover" the warranty? If I need to repair something on the phone, can I put the Xperia on it's original state? Stock ROM, without ClockworkMod Recovery...
Help me please, I've already install some CRoms in Samsung, HTC and LG, but I've never did something like this on a SE.
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.

Installing custom rom usually will need a custom kernel,installing custom kernel need an unlocked bootloader,and when you unlock your bootloader,your DRM keys and the warranty will gone,and there are no ways to recover back since you list DRM keys and modified the phone (which have been stated that modifying the device will void the warranty)
Well,it should be no problem for you since you have done something like that before...but,you should responsible yourself if your device broke when in the process of unlock bootloader,installing custom kernel/rom..just remember : If your device are in bootloop/won't start,try to give it a try by flashing stock ftf file using Flash Tool
EDIT : I'm a former member of this community,don't worry
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
Warranty isn't lost if you use custom roms which can run on stock kernel thus locked bootloader(there are several with this feat, cm10 is not one of them unfortunately)
If it's worth it it's up to you, what you're looking for from your phone and what roms have to offer.
There are several ways of unlocking bootloader and some keep drm keys thus not loosing warranty, do some reading in the faq at the beginning of this thread, ome searching around and then make your choices.
Please read the stickies for help, in my signature there's a how to install custom roms, too

If you are talking about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921766 rom then it's already out for lww, all you need to do is add dev files for your device. If you don't know what those are open any rom with aroma (or just the patches for other devices from roms like pacman) and copy those files taken from source for your device to installation zip.

Porting isn't easy as it look/ ABC...
And even there are another way,it'll be the same...
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
To be precise, There isn't a "proper way" to port Roms. One method might work and one might not. You have to create your own ways of porting for each kind of Rom by taking the other guides as just a reference. You should be able to interpret logcats and understand the errors while testing a ported Rom. You need to research a lot!!! As the comment above me said porting is not easy! Read read read research research research debug debug debug and at last you may see the wonderful moment of your ported Ron's boot animation! (after that you might still have errors though)

According to this forum you have failed, a lot of over caffeinated teenagers with too much time on zheir hands, and basment dwellers will repeatedly tell you to search and read before posting.
Let me put it this way - search, google, wiki, ask friends to help you. You're ****ed. Searching for correct Kernel and ROM is hard as **** beacuse if you misunderstood something say goodbye to your device.
As one experienced user on this forum said - we are developers this not a spoonfeeding site.
I could see that guys boner while he wrote that ****. Google your questions, here you will not find the droids you are looking for.
