SORRY! IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!! THREAD CLOSED!!!
Here is the step by step guide on how to get Flash 10.1 on your Android 2.1 Eclair geared Xperia X8:
(1) The first step is to download flash_for_21.zip to your computer and extract the .apk file.
(2) Now navigate to the market and install “Apps Installer” utility to your phone.
(3) Now connect your Android phone to the computer and copy .apk file to your SD card. Make sure that it is in SD card root and not in a sub folder.
(4) After this launch “Apps Installer” on your phone and follow the on screen instructions to install flash_for_21.apk file.
(5) After installation is complete, simply reboot your phone and there you go! You now have Flash 10.1 on your phone.

Cheers!!
This is very useful post.
But after i fallow the instructions i still don`t see the flash working in my browser i try to open vbox7.com which is a site like youtube and try to play a video but that don`t work.
Why ?
Does it work?
This method is completely safe for your phone in every sense?
Yes this is safe but don`t seams to work at all.

Hmm.. Does that really work? If i want to do that, how do i install 1.6rom on my 2.1 X8?
And does anyone break the bootloader for X8 yet?

check the links. no bootloader cracking has been done. basically, someone has pre-rooted 2.1 rom. to copy the rooted rom, 1.6 rooted rom required.
Yeah, but as far as i know, the bootloader has to be broken before any custom roms can be installed, ?
If not, i can install vanilla android 2.1 on the phone right? as long as i got the right drivers for cam and such?
I have X8 2.1 rooted Flash 10.1 does not work
Doesnt work on xperia x8 eclair. Get a job!!!

hi there
.
.
will installing a theme wipe my phone!? do i need to back up everything before i install the theme?? i want to install via xrecovery
.
.
thank you
Hi,
as far as I know installing a theme will not wipe your phone but it is good to wipe your
phone before installing a theme.
If you want to go back to your previous condition-after installing the theme-you must
back up before you install the theme.
if i already have a theme installed . . and i want to change t . . just install the new theme via xrecovery over the old theme and everything will go fine?!
installing a theme via xrecovery doesn't change any system settings or wipe data
create a backup in any case have to be good gotona
Make a backup in xrecovery before you install the theme.
Better safe than sorry
thanx guys
I installed Gingerbread yesterday, and I didn't do any backup at all, only of my contacts. I found out later that it DIDN'T delete anything on my phone, not apps or anything.
Hi guys
Does your phone need to be rooted?
Or can i just use xrecovery to install a theme?

This thread should go on Q&A, anyway, upload you hw_config.sh (with rootexplorer search /system/etc/hw_config.sh, hold pressed the file, and choose copy, then go to your sd and paste, and transfer it to pc, and upload it ofc )
yes, it is possible
I will try to do it

Wow, thk you so much!
please tell me if it works.
Yes it works! The only problem that it only works with multitouch visualiser 2, emulators and games... I can confirm that it does not work with the stock web browser, skyfire browser, stock gallery or google maps... Maybe you could fix this Bitmovel and post it on a new thread as a [TUT].

D4rKn3sSyS is right (tks for the tip)
no need to install that file manually. I have just included it in the new xrecovery update file (in attachment)
just re-install it
It should now work in all appz
thank you guys, you are quite simply awsome! One very last question, will this work on the latest 2.1.1.C.0.0 build?

I dont really know, but if 2.1.1.C.0.0 kernel and baseband are not the right one (2.6.29 and 015), won't work

I haven't tested myself, but I assume it should work.
Same baseband and kernel were confirmed to be the same as 2.1.1.a.0.6 in some other thread
in fact, only a few files were changed.
I will compare both releases tomorrow. Maybe I can find why was that update made
I am suprised SE do bot publish changelogs with these kind of things... I'm guessing its something to do with stability or security.
I will try and put up a full and clear youtube video to show youtubers with X10 Mini Pro's around the world how its done next week as there are so many people on youtube looking for this, it will bring many more people to these forums and who knows they could become great contributers here.

Awsum work mate.. was waiting for dual touch which could be flashed through xrecovery. Made my work easy.
It would be better if you could create a new thread on this.
Quick question: The new file you made was named "dualtouch_v006.zip" should this be renamed to "update.zip" or just run this file from xrecovery with its orginal name?
And will innstalling this throuhg xrecovery delete anything of the personal data on the phone?
Sorry aboute the bad English and aboute the silly questions.
You shouldn't rename it, just install it from xrec with original name.
keep the same name, and no. it will not delete any personal data.
Thanx "bitmovel".
Does this go for themes aswell?Do these not delete any personal data?
it does nothing else then adding multitouch.
it does not remove anything at all
hello
i want to create my own rom for the xperia x10
what programs do i need for that?
and can i modify an existing rom? want to understand how making roms works first, so my question is if i download a custom rom, can i modify it for my personal purposes? for exampe by removing some apps...
thanks for ur help
Taking out apps is easy.. use titanium backup. Ifyou want to mix them use a kitchen. If you want to build one use linux and download google source and edit.

None that i know of. Maybe with some apk editing we can fix that, but i don't know. Ray's screen is too perfect that all the text is too small..

Hi all. I am really excited to install custom ROM in other thread. But I don't want to lose my apps and settings. Is there a way to backup and restore them after flashing? You know, need not an hour to do that. Thanks.

You can download an app from the market such as titainium backup or my backup, that will back up all your apps and data, once you install your rom download the app from the market again and restore. All of your apps will be restored
There are a few paid and none paid apps in market, I use paid version of titainium backup but i have used my backup in the past

if your phone is rooted, you can edit file /system/build.prop. at string ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (9 from bottom) and change density to 260 or 280, than ALL text elements will slightly bigger. need reboot after changing.
Well frankly i don't think the messaging fonts are smaller... It's quite comfortable...
That lcd build.prop method was very common in Sensation section... but there we used to decrease it to 204 and with that you get 5x5 application drawer inn HTC sense...,don't know how it will behave here...
secondly, users reported that some market applications show incompatible if you change lcd density...

Hi Gents
I have my phone rooted with unlocked bootloader and i use stock rom .42 with Doomkernel.
Now when I connect my Ray to PC, PC Companion says that new firmware is available for my phone (.62). Do you know what would happen if I would start updating through PC Companion? Brick? Loosing root? Nothing? Simply updating? What is your oppinion about that? Thanks for support.

i already did it some time ago...but now i can´t get it to work again and this file doesn´t exist anymore
my steps are:
- open .apk in betterzip
- take out some .png and change it
- replace the .png
- save the .apk
- sign it
- install
- error, app not installed
i did some searches and found something about deleting the files of the "META-INF" folder, but that didn´t work either
i guess it´s related to the launcher not just being a launcher but also a system-file or something
so...what am i doing wrong?

Just put the apk in system/app change permission to rw-r-r and restart.
you mean copy / paste with a file manager or install??
and why change the permission? the original launcher has other permissions (i´m just curious)
/e: oh ****, it worked
thx man!
can it do it the same way when modding the framework-res.apk?
