Greetings !
This thread is going to help those willing to cook X8 roms.
I have extracted and uploaded all the files to make it possible for others to join the development process.
Files :
SE X8 Donut sources
Extracted 1.0.A.62 debranded ROM
system.img of latest rom
These files should be all one needs to cook a rom with kitchen from XDA.
I have very little experience cooking roms, so I hope someone more experienced could use files and save time.
Attached are files to boot from /sdcard , these were tested to work for booting "original" rom from the sdcard partition.
To use, make 3 partitions (fat,ext2,ext2), those will be mounted as /sdcard,/system,/data.
unpack system.img into second partition and you are good to go.
So far there's no working cooked rom, but soon it should be available.
Leave your comments and suggestions.
P.S
THIS IS NOT A THREAD FOR TROLLING OR SPAMMING, DO NOT POST IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE!!!

what makes you think that "custom rom will soon be available"
bootloader is still locked, remember?
no bootloader, no custom rom
Because an X10 Dev managed to flash a Custom Rom without unlocking the Bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835308
If someone could really cook an X8 2.2 custom rom and make a guide, would be great for X8's owners. Thanks pulpoff
Custom kernels, drivers are not possible till bootloader is cracked.
But a custom rom based on current kernel should be possible...anybody have any clue whether custom roms being made for x10 could be ported to x8(once we get 2.1)?

It's not possible. Answered before in this forum.
So can we use 2.2 based on the old kernel (2.6.29)?

i think the answer is yes,
custom rom for x10 use the old kernel (2.6.29)
and jarpaela said 2.6.29 is not too diffrent with 2.6.32
and x8 kernel is 2.6.29
correct me if im wrong
****! Yes that means we are running donut on eclairs kernel!
Why couldn't they give us eclair in the first place!
Theoretically its possible..but there could be problems of drivers and other compatibility issues if we use custom roms built by jerpelea and zidhzu.
Only if either of them had an x8..
Has any one tried flashing the roms?

i dont think so,,,
maybe donut and eclair kernel is same,
but in theory is true we can use it
but we cant use custom rom develop by j and z
i think we must made it from start...
is it anyone can ask j and z how they can implant froyo on eclair,,??
i think if we know it, we can make it
(except for develop driver for me,)
i think is it hard project but not imposible
sorry for my bad english
Well, I'm doing a Master's in computer science, and I have an X8 that I want to hack and mod every which way from sunday. As soon as my homework load lightens (i.e holidays), I'll start working on it.
I just hope I won't fry my phone in the process, can't really afford to have to buy a new one.
I've built custom linux installs before, so I have no issues getting dirty with Android. Just need to learn how. Gimme some time, I'll work on it.

Well then, if that's the case, why not:
a) grab kernel, drivers, etc @ boot.img from released x8 donut source
b) merge it with aosp 2.1 and tweak the inits
c) root it
d) convert everything to .syn
e) flash through bin4ry's tool
Wouldn't this be "theoretically" possible?
You would think so.

Hell, I could take a lookie too. I've got plenty of free time. But I haven't built a linux before. ;( I've installed Arch, does that count? ;D
I'd say it counts. If you want to take a look, go ahead. After all, I'm sure other devs will jump in if you have specific questions that you need answered, rather than "can we get 2.2 for X8 please".
Hell, even Google's bound to have tutorials and documentation about how to go about it.
What's the point of having an open OS otherwise?
What needs to be done to make a working ROM?
The OP states it has included the files to boot a custom ROM. But how do I use those files?
Sorry if I sound hopelessly lost.
Edit: Also.. Um.. What is a ROM Kitchen? This is new to me.

Hi Guys
Now that we have root access to our X10 mini/mini pro, I hope we can interessest some developers to make us a custom ROM.
So I hope, with this Thread we can draw the attention of some DEV's
:-D Let's hope and pray

Why to work on 2.1 when 2.2 is available. Look forward to 2.2 Rom
Same progress must be done like on X10. So please be patient. First i (or somebody else who is faster) must fix X10flash, so that we are able to flash everytime to a desired version of rom.
then SPL must be hacked. We can try to port softspl from goroh. but first other progress must be made.

Hi Binary, thanks for the information. As I'm a noob in this, I'm trying to follow the complete progress. So I don't know how the progress will be and what steps need to be taken before you developers can make ROM's. But now I have an idea and i will be happy to follow the progress.

They need a tool that can flash the ROM into the device without bricking it, without that tool creating ROMs is first of all useless and secondly hard to test.
Good thinking. And it seems Bin4ry is advance and has already thought of creating ROMs at the back of his mind. And true let us go step by step.
Bin4ry, could you through some light why its hard to flash roms?
I think the hardware for rom is same between x10 and x10 mini. If you could share some knowledge on what blocks the custom flashing could help many of us to have broader understanding.
Is the device drivers or is it the software protections that keeps away from overwriting the ROMS?
Some insights required.
As far as C/C++ goes, even i can chimp in some hands, provided i know what to do, how to do and where to start from.
THIS might be of help, Viny - at least that's where I'm going to start and it seems it's a must to start there in order to understand how the AndroidOS works, and info about ROMs.
Thanks, I have already started reading http://pdk.android.com/
A Custom Wildfire ROM for the X10 Mini/X10 Mini Pro would be awesome..
A 2.2 would also be awesome.

Hardware is completely different, cpus arent the same, lcd, storage... whats more or less shared is the s1 bootloader which is for the entire s1 platform from sony ericsson. Though bootloaders rent the same because theyre compiled for each cpu.. thats whats preventing us from flashing on both phones. I hope when a real fix is found for one of them we will have it easier to port to the rest of the platform. Until that well have to stick to jumping from initial se kernel to boot custom roms. For that, a kexec module for these kernels must be built (gorohkun's spl for x10 wont work without a lot of modifications....)

It would probably work , but X10 has 128MB while Wildfire has 384MB so he has a point.
The RAM/NAND chip on the x10 mini is a Samsung K524G2GACB-A050 chip, with a theoretical 4gb NAND memory and 2gb SDRAM ( supposedly this translates to 512mb ROM and 256mb RAM
The above findings are based on elementary research. If somebody with better technological insight wants to to correct this, please feel free to do so.
http://www.phonewreck.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/X10PCB1.jpg
Interestingly, the MSM7227 Qualcamm processor has an FPU so in theory it's more than capable of running FROYO with flash 10.1 support, but whether SE and Adobe decide to give us this privelege is another thing altogether. I guess it remains up to the community to build their own ROM if they don't.
(and yes I know it'll never happen because flash 10.1 is built around the ARMV7 architecture, but at least SE could give us flash lite 4)

Disclaimer:
Please note that this ROM is still in development and shouldn't be considered stable.
The developer is not responsible if you brick/damage your device. Proceed at your own risk.
Info:
CM7-ZMOD is an unofficial port of Cyanogenmod 7.1 for Xperia X10. This mod is so well-known that I will just skip the introduction This mod contains proprietary stuff and as such, can not be released under FreeXperia logo (therefore ZMOD).
ZMOD Extra Features:
- fully working camera and camcorder including flashLED support and EV setting
- uncapped FPS (up to 54)
- sound stuttering fix
- custom cpufreq governors
- simple adblock
- ?
Known bugs:
- no tethering (both wifi/usb) (WIP) - Android Wifi Tether, Banacle work
- ROM Manager works but requires ClockworkMod recovery (not included)
- ?
Tips:
- if you don't use Weather app, disable the auto sync (it's "on" by default)
- set your screen timeout to 30sec (1 min by default)
Requirements:
1. Rooted 2.3.3 ROM
2. working xRecovery 0.3
3. Baseband 71+
Installation:
Flash the zip package via xRecovery
Flash the DHCP Fix after rebooting into ROM once!
Flash Hotfix001, reboot into rom.
Flash Hotfix002, Wipe dalvik, reboot into ROM
Changelog:
01/09/2011 - 001 - first release
04/09/2011 - HotFix001 - Added Tweaks. Lots of them too! (Wipe Dalvik after installing Hotfix001
05/09/2011 - HotFix002 - Added more tweaks, New kernel (Thanks THJap &Tkymgr)
Credits & Thanks:
Z (As this is his ROM), Doomlord (For the Kernel),Android team, CM Crew, FreeXperia team (special thanks to Jerpelea), all X10-XDA Developers, everyone else who helped.
Please Note; This is none of my work. I have basically added a Custom Kernel (Doomlord's) to Z's original 2.3.5 release. It's not as simple as flashing a Kernel Zip over the ROM Zip. Several files had to be changed in order for this to work. I know a few people were after this, and Z hasn't been seen for a while. I will full remove this upon Z's Request or when he returns and/or Updates his original post.
Download V001
DHCP Fix If Needed
HotFix001
HotFix002 Please read the following before flashing 002 Before Flashing 002
Development of this ROM by me has now stopped. I have just upgraded and will be selling my X10 shortly.. I wish my best to everyone on the X10 XDA Site that has made things possibly. J, Z,WB,ErickWill,Achotjan etc etc.

First things first.... I was going to follow this guide to root his stock GB build:

Seems like a great guide...
THEN I would like to hook him up with what you guys tell me is the most suitable ROM... CM7 is nice, but I did not know if it was ready for this phone. Solid build and battery life are key. If there is a better non-CM7 build in that regard, would love your opinion.

Try cm7 rom from zdzihu its the most stablest rom ever every rom from z is ssolid as a stone freex10 is just epic
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
I didn't think any cm7 roms were 100% functional yet? Seems like there is always "something" like camera or wifi issue...
I have only tried Wolfbreak and T.E.A.M., both are based on stock and heavily tweaked w/features added. They are very stable and fast.
Currently on T.E.A.M. and loving it
Whatever rom you decide on, optimize the battery after you flash or at least delete your battery stats.
I vote for TEAM rom. It's great, smooth, everything works. Based on stock and they like stability. Battery time seems good too, and I use the phone ALOT when I'm not at work or asleep.
The ThKernel they recommend (easiest to get in AppMan after installing ROM) is great too, only downside (for me) is the kernel ramps up in call volume like crazy. Lowest volume sounds like a quite speaker phone and there's just a bit of distortion... but if your friend wants loud in call volume or talks on it in noisy places a lot it may be the perfect kernel.

I will be looking at the suggested TEAM rom. I agree that CM7 would be nice, but does not sound like it is ready yet. This person needs stability, not features.
I need to research the root methods for the X10 better.... seems there are many ways of doing it and the Flash Tool is new to me. I am used to flashing an update.zip in stock recovery and then using adb to get a custom recovery or using Rom Manager.
Does Rom Manager work well on the X10.... i
What is the easiest method of achieving root on the stock gingerbread? I dont like apps like superoneclick, but if that will work and get me into Rom Manager quickly, so be it.

1.Download flashtool and just press the root button while usb debbuging and unknown sources are checked
2.x10 is not on rom manager yet but will be on it soon
3.T.E.A.M. and wolfbreak rom and ThJap rom all are great stock roms
4.CM7 have bad battery and only other problem is that their is no zoom in camera
wow, so no need to do anything with FlashTool other than press "root?"
I thought I would need to resort to an earlier build of the phones software....
If it is that easy, does the root function include a recovery?
Dumb question, button combo to get into recovery on the X10?
I assume I will just root and flash like normal... previous post makes it sound crazy easy.
Thanks!
oops late replay
yes now its just one click root
and for recovery press the "+" button on flashtool and choose xrecovery
press back button for recovery
this went amazingly smooth. Thanks!
For xrecovery reboot & spam the back button right when you see "Sony Ericsson"

No, he is right, the 2.6.35 LG Kernel source for MSM7x27 like LG-P500 is almost the same, and if you don't know, Mike Gapinski has ported 2.6.35 kernel to LG-GT540 using our kernel source code. And sweetnsour, before you say something, think about it first!
Edit: @Karan: Thanks for your work!
And also upload you kernel source code to github, it will have lots of people!
@ Tha. See no one is saying him right or wrong. It's all about how you present yourself. If you are a DEV you should have be little generic about what you are writing. His first impression was bad opening a DEV thread saying what app you want.
Now either this guy is genius or totally Noob.
@ karan, Boy if this ROM is working on both the Device, you simply rock. If not then try to add some details on your first post. XDaa is all about reading. Not just download and flash.

I stand corrected
I thought that the P690 was one of those optimus 2x or optimus 3d phones (now that I think about it, I think it was the P990, not the P690) but obviously I was wrong. After seeing your post, I looked around and found out that the P690 is actually the optimus net, which is the successor to the P500 if I am not mistaken.
Lesson learned, and yes, I will definitely think before I say anything
@OP, sorry if I offended you
P.S. But really, when has a rom worked on two different phones? That is like saying a rom for the P500 works on the optimus v (there has to be some things in the rom that need to be changed in order for it to work on either phone; I believe boot.img would be a good example)
And I'm pretty sure porting a kernel is different than porting a rom (unless I am wrong once again)

If u dont remember, we have had a port of nets firmware to ours, it was successful, but yea, there were few bugs..
Both phones will have different bugs, the chipset differs slightly, ours is plain msm7227, theirs is msm7227T i.e turbo... hence it runs a 800mhz processor...
You cant say the phones are exactly the same or completely different, but yes, they have differences...
So i doubt this running directly on p500, since there are no 2 different zips...

+1. You can not run a single ROM on two different hardware. It has to be same model.Left all the things apart. If model number differ you have to change boot.img to get it boot. Left all the things apart.

Just to save you the trouble
I flashed this on my p500 and system does not boot!
So don't flash!!! It probably works for p690 but it is definetelly not for our optimus one.

Hi all,
Is there anyone who has tried both 2.1 and 2.3? I only got my x10 a few months ago so it came with 2.3 already on it, and i don't want to lose all my data my downgrading it to 2.1 just to find out it's crap.
So are there any massive differences, is it worth trying 2.1 or is 2.3 better?
Also i read about a unofficial camera fix for 2.1, if anyone has anymore information about that?

why should you go to an older version if your statisfied with your current? I must say i didnt try 2.1 (only 2.3, 4.0 and 4.1) and 2.3 was best, so i returned. little tip: cm7 (by m&m or zidhzu) has awesome performance or try dixperia 7 it is beautiful and the best stockbased rom i had.

I have used both of them. I must say 2.1 is much faster then 2.3 (official versions). Also You must consider that there's no clear way of moving apps to sdcard (of course there are apps for that) and also You have to think about apps. Most of the apps are written 2.3+ or even 4.0+ so some of them might not work.
I think always the best ROMs were 2.2.

Sorry but I have to disagree with your decision. 2.3 is much better on terms of performance and speed. Coming from someone who got my x10 stock with 1.6 donut. 2.1 was awefull IMO.
Anyway, @op just flash a custom ROM, they are far better than stock will ever be ^^

I always prefer dixperia, it was my first rom and so i cant give an objective review. It felt better than Dixperia 8 stock based/ Sstyle (that i tried directly after) and very clean and as a great contrast to stock. M&M had a "rocksolid" feeling, it was the first cm rom and really good performance. As stupid as i was as noob i choose the wrong baseband (.67) in aroma and i didnt have fun for long...
I suggest you, if you love feelin and theming of cyanogenmod of course the cm rom, if you like the sony xperia s- style and a fully working camera then head for dixperia 7 (stockbased rom-> best camera).
I am at Dixperia 8 Gaming and i will probably stay at it, it is really worth it! You have to become Premium User to get it but it is really the best rom I ever had.

stick on your 2.3 version, got many features on 2.3...
If I remember way back when, prior to GB 2.3.3, there was no WiFi hotspot or USB tethering.
And now that I have apps and widgets from the XPERIA S on my XPERIA X10i and that kind of cool.
My XPERIA S home launcher with home page folders is way cooler than anything you can get on GB 2.1
