Official W8i/E16i firmware, flashable via FlashTool.
Original post is here.
Also, xRecovery backup is here.
Will be uploaded soon to Mediafire as FTF file.
If you have X8a phone, take X8a 015 baseband and flash it after flashing W8 FW.
Best regards
Can you post some screenshots and can you tell us the main differences between our X8 stock ROM?
Will it all work with no problems/glitchs/bugs?
And what are the languages available in the ROM?
Thank you
I don't want to say something but this is spam there is treadh and please this rom is unusable where are Google apps I try this Tom before anyone post and it is not worth of using especially Chinese version

If that's the only difference, there's no use in installing this ROM, since we can port the app to our X8...

No

No, generally it's horrible due to Chinese version, and only differences are in look. No added functionality.
Maybe, just maybe sound quality is a little bit better.
No Google Apps, not even Market -.- and I have problems with upload to Mediafire.
W8 = Modded X8 with walkman inscription on it, and a modded original music app, and changed backround....so...IT SUCKS, they just repainted an X8 and put modded firmware on it...SE, Shame on you
SE just putting blinds on people's eyes... Not on ours

It's exacly same like X8. SE even not change kernel, so no chance.
So, SE just change framework a little bit, and sell X8 as walkman phone.
come on SE,, you can do better then that..
look here. the fw for w8 is the same as x8's. se unofficially admited that w8 is only repainted x8

DuDe, NOBODY was buying X8 anymore, so they had Lots of X8's left...One SE Dev came to the others and said: DUDE, We have so much X8's left and nobody ain't stupid to buy one now, lets change O/S a bit, repaint it and sell it under another name!
I bet the other SE employees were like: Hell yeah, let's do this!

They should unlock bootloader,it is unlockable by changing loader.sin but they thought this way:Someone sad:look this X8 is sell is very good lets make new series like x8.
and this is why there are three more models of x8 xperia mini and pro new and W8 walkman

Yeah, and it looks like people are falling for the trap, buying their "WALKMAN"...Walkman my a**...COME ON!! No Equalizer?! What walkman is that??? :| ...
Yes, SE Walkman without equalizer... it sucks completely... but still, someone might like it.

hmm hi guys. Was wondering if its true that the new w8 would be running android 2.2? Its just like the x8 but its a walkman. If it has any new features it would be nice to bring them to the x8
opps and i meant w8 (xperia) not x8.
nope, it's not true. specification says it will be shipped with eclair (2.1). but we can hope that it's going to be upgraded, sooner or later, so we could port it...
Nop. It's also Eclair. (2.1)
Same phone, different UI colors, and with Walkman app.
Did I said its the same fu*king phone? Dissapointment
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
its 2.1
waiting it coming to malaysia...than change my x8 to w8 front and back housing
hmm ok thx.. But ive heard it got Timescape UI which x8 dosent have?
hmm and read this aswell guys http://getandroidstuff.com/sony-ericsson-first-android-walkman-phone-confirmed-as-w8/
it says it will have 2.2?? or is this fake?

Err... X8 also comes with Timescape. Also, everywhere I looked, it said that W8 will come with 2.1, not 2.2.
i mean isnt Timescape UI the 1 that the x10 has? and just timescape is what x8 has?

i think you mean the mediascape app?? and if the w8 comes with that, it would most likely be ported by the devs here , can't wait for that little phone to give the x8 the glory it deserves
lol yh sry i meant mediascape (forgot that it was called that) and i rly hope it wud be ported if it has it
Hi! On promo photo Xperia neo has a widget favorite contacts!
He was probably on the first firmware?! Does anyone know where to get it or download? Maybe it somehow pull out of the first firmware?
Sorry for my bad English!
life.Contacts it's better
I do not like life.contacts
maybe on the SE site got the life.contact
I really cant ounderstand why SE inkludes this in Neo but not in Arc.
Hoping to see this one in market from SE soon.

It isn't present in 145 & 181 FW. Somebody told that it was in older FW, may be beta versions.

If anyone would like to download the Widget which is shown in the image above, you can do so via the below link:
This should work on all of the new Xperia™ range handset, not yet tested on X10, X10 Mini Pro etc.

TNX BRO! working on my Xperia arc!
Thank you!! It works on Xperia X10 too!!
Thanks a lot renegade93.
i have this already on my neo, always been there also.
newest update android/SE software
Cheers for the widget although it is included with 2.3.4.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
I have it with the 2.3.3 fw but I don't like it very much. The main problem is that if you tap on a contact it will just send you in the contact details, I'd prefer a quick action like call, send msg etc.
Same. Life contacts is good because of that feature.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
Is there any way to choose an action when you tap a photo from this widget?
For example I want to call a number from that favorite. I don't like to open the contact info. And if you have more favorites than is room on widget you can't scroll for the others. Or maybe I don't know to use it.
here is the xperia mini pro system dump
http://www.mediafire.com/?8oe2bazrbcqx1bu
most of the widgets/apps work on x10 2.3
including some new widgets like timer widgets, fav contacts widgets, data monitor widget, businesscenter widget
but the most interesting thing is the thememanager.apk
i cant install the app
but it seems possible if some of the files in framework are modifed
so i put this dump file into dev section
so dat the devs here can make the ThemeManager.apk workable
ill also attach some cool widgets from the dump
ps credit to arkedk who replied my pm
got weather widget working
and theme manager installed but FC
Koloboк said:
Install my zip with weather widget: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16282981&postcount=19, and new launcher from arc dump, now you can install ThemeManager.apk and DefaultThemes.apk, from this dump, but when you run theme chooser from launchers menu it causes app FC, maybe devs can solve it.

what's with the language? can we not comment without swearing
yeah can the Xloud technologie be ported to the x10? The arc also gets the xloud filter through an update so it is software related right?
it's sony's marketing strategy ... obviously they wont release all good phone at a time.... and those technology was not available that time.... these decision's are made at higher level and they have to consider so many things and see the present market status before releasing any phone... sony is very clever in all these things...
Sony xperia mini pro is superb phone ,better then our x10 except small screen...
sony told before for exmor r in mini pro but they removed it later , but still it's pretty cheap phone with good specs.
I love the new widgets on my X10!!!
They are beautiful and consistent to the SE UXP.
Timer and Favorites are very very handy!

This is the system dump from the new X10 Gingerbread Update...
I dont know if we can use parts of it (like the apps) or if we have to rewrite them that they work on our device...
I know that the Update inclueded an new Music Player with Equalizer.
I got it from this thread :

I just post it that people who are interested in original 2.3 Apps can download it easily without searching for it
Alot of rewriting would be needed, but if it runs slow on an x10 with an a better processor, there is a very slim chance of it working anyway, even if it does it will be incredibly slow. Stay with ginger dx from doixanh the best rom ever! (2.3.5)
