Hi Guys..
I am using xperia X8with Android 2.1..
i havent install any custom rom for my phone..
Bt i want an update now asi am getting frustrated now using Android 2.1..
So will u plzz tell me what i will do..
i dont want to custom my rom..so is there any other news from sony ericsson to provide an update of Android 2.2(Froyo) or 2.3(Gingerbread) for xperia x8..
Using an Launcher will change the inteface of the phone but cant give u the xperience of using an upgraded version...
Plzz helpme what will i do....
NO it is very unlikely now that xperia x8 will get an update beyond 2.1
Best thing to do is to install a very stable and fast custom ROM such as GingerXperia, it is bugless and provides a completely pleasent look for your phone from 2.1
Try a custom ROM and I will assure you that you will enjoy it
If not you can always go back to stock ROM via SEUS (PC Companion).
Hope that helps,
U can try Gdx or froyobread also.

I'm not to blame for any damage you mite do or if you brick you x8
You can't update ur android unless you install a custom rom.
People can wish there is an official reslease of froyo for x8....

Yep, I was using eClair 2.1 for over 6 months and I was getting so frustrated with it I pretty much banged it offf the wall (it survived). But yesterday I installed my second ROM (GINGERDX, thank you doixanh) and I'm pretty much amazing on what I was missing out on!

I think you will not be frustrated using some custom rom. I'm actually using kuyadroid last version and it's very stable and bugless...
Rooting and installing custom roms is making the phone faster and you can install many modules and stuf
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Here's how everything went for me!
Root: Took 1 min to root x8
xRecovery: Took 1 min to install
Flash ROM: Took 2 mins to flash and install GINGERDX.
Total time 4-5 minutes.
I used SuperOneClick to root my phone.
I use XRECOVERY to install roms

this thread is open to help newbies to install the 2.1 custom rom with the simples way..
you also can discuss any problem here..
dont mess the dev thread with a dumb question...
thanks to "Perceval from Hyrule" for the original tutorial..
this is revise version for 2.1
INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP
Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!
Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)
1st step:
make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..
in case in need for command execution..
- Download Android SDK
You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).
2nd step:
- On x10 :
Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).
Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.
Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".
3rd step:
install xrecovery for recovery menu.
xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu
4th step:
option 1:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)
rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
option 2:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip) or in any folder u like
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
5th step:
boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)
backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)
hit full wipe
option 1:
hit install update.zip from SD card
option 2:
hit install custom zip
search for the custom zip in folder where u save it
hit the zip file
after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10
good luck ;-)
TIPS
1-u can do like rendeiro2005 said by creating rom folder and put the rom collection in it..
so if u want to change or try other rom just choose zip file from the particular folder...
this require using step from option 2
2-another one, by creating folder which contain backup image..
u can collect your friends backup image and put in one folder..
if u want to try, just restore the particular image file using backup/restore option in recovery menu and choose the backup image file..
collection of custom rom backup file for recovery menu:

Hi bro,
Only two calls on your excellent tutorial:
1. No need to put the rom in the root of the sdcard. I, for example, to distinguish the roms, I`ve created a folder "Rom" in the root and put the roms in there.
2. It is not necessary to rename the *. zip file.
When we entered the xRecovery, you can go to "install Custom Zip> zip Choose Custom from sdcard>" Now in my case I a. .. "Roms >........" and I intend to choose

it`s not a different way.
i think that way would be more simple (for me at least) `couse you can have different roms puted on the same directory without, everytime that you want to install one change his name to default.zip
but...great TUT (clap your hands floks)
Since i haved installed the 2.1 AOSP, my recovery were deleted !
So i install the xrecovery.apk but it doesnt work (don't fin the SD Card), so i paste the 3 files with root explorer but nothing to do... the recovery doesn't work at all =(

It says make sure you are 2.1 but I'm not im 1.5...... basically I'm stock X10..... and i want to flash so does it matter if I'm 2.1 or not. Because it doesn't make since that you say make sure your 2.1 but I'm flashing to get 2.1

Install all 3?! Yes you can...if you want you can install WM and iOS
Now mre seriously.
If you want to install 2.1 you have to format sdcard to one partition only. 2.1 doesn't work with more than 1.
Then you can flash...follow this guide to do so

That's a solid enough guide I'd say but sorry just one more thing I can think that might be valid to add if I may;
Before going to say about adb for flashing screen recommend a fresh install first as that is much easier for the user to do if they just done it than read and learn all about adb. Just a thought but good guide, please delete this post if its considered as spam or not relevant.

In fact you can change as follows (at your own risk)
1. Use Root Explorer to delete \system\media\bootanimation.zip (or replace with your own)
2. Copy framework-res.apk from \system\framework to sdcard
3. replace the following image files in framework-res.apk (I use total commander) with the stock image files:
i) android-logo-mask.png & android-logo-shine.png in assets\images folder
ii) default_wallpaper.jpg in res\drawable-hdpi folder
4. Copy framework-res.apk from sdcard back to \system\framework folder
5. reboot
Thanks, will this to my thread.

Thanks dude, worked a treat with Mr Rusch's X10 Mod Tool and 7zip.
Installed and seems to be working fine aside from the screen flickering which I can't seem to get rid of. The ADB thread has a link for android SDK which seems to be out of date because it no longer links to a download. I can't figure it out otherwise. Anyone wanna help me get rid of the screen flickering?
Reinstall the zip via xRecovery, jusy as you did the first time you installed FreeX10.

what I woulk like to discuss is to restore data (contacts, sms, apps settings) from previous (2.1) version. may I use titanium backup ? will then all custom data & apps & settings work as in 2.1 ?

Yes, you can restore data with titanium, but I recommend a fresh install of all your apps.
The only thing I restored with Titanium was my SMS/MMS.
Contacts and calendar synced with gmail.
The other apps was a fresh install from market.
That way i'm sure no junk from 2.1 will mess up my freshly installed 2.2 rom
But sure you can, if you want, restore most of your apps and data.
Maybe just me that want everything fresh

But make sure you disable your SIM PIN code.
If your phone reboots during the night I'm not sure the alarm will work if the phone asks for PIN.

You find all information on Development area.
Just choose one ROM and follow the instructions there.
Good luck!
I think you need to root your phone and install xrecovery before you can install ROMs
yaa..go to development forum then choose 1 rom..
First root your phone with SuperOneClick or other app
install xrecovery
choose rom
use xrecovery to install it
1. Root yr phone using superoneclick(usb) or universal androot (apk).
2. Install root explorer(in phone) or adb shell (on pc).
3. Follow the instructions for xrecovery installation from development thread.
4. Flash latest(015) baseband and build (2.1.1.0.6)
5. Flash roms of ur choice.....
For modules like overclock, pinch zoom etc once root explorer is installed all modules can be loaded by just extracting and copying them to system/lib/modules and editing hw_config.sh .... instuctions are available at development threads.

Hi guys,
This is my very first post on XDA.
I've spent a lot of time parsing and looking for answers (too much if you ask my wife ) I'm no more feeling "alone" when I read all this people going mad for their phones
I managed to unlock my mini pro and install GingerDX v17 without any problem. Now I'd like to use a custom kernel (zombie), but as I installed the modules, I suppose I have to remove them before flashing the new kernel.
I'm looking for some hints and advices to be sure I do not brick my phone and follow all the good steps.
What I'm planning to do:
Delete the modules and files present in the zip I flashed (through command line of SDK, right ?)
Download the new kernel and place it in SD (well, follow the zombie thread instructions...)
Reboot in recovery (and do full wipe ?)
Flash the new kernel
Reboot
My phone specs:
X10 mini pro
Stock kernel
GingerDX v17
CMparts fix flashed
GingerDX modules flashed
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
Tim
PS:
I'm not sorry for my bad English as it's written we don't have to write it, right
your going somewhat right but follow these steps:
1) Delete the modules u flashed from the ginger-dx_module pack(for stock) from /system/lib/modules with root explorer
modules present :
cy8ctma300_ser.ko
ext3.ko
ext4.ko
jbd2.ko
jbd.ko
smartass.ko
x8mddi.ko
x8oc.ko OR U can directly flash the ROM zip which u downloaded without the modules but do not make factory reset or any wipe..
2)Download kernel on PC.. Open using Winrar or any zip.. you will find X10 Mini Pro_Zombie Panic Kernel v1.6.3_slade87.ftf file.. place the it in the /firmwares folder in flashtool..
3)turn off ur phone
4)Run the flashtool from PC select the kernel [ zombie panik] from list. it will ask you to connect phone in flash mode
5)so press the back button on phone and then connect using USB.. then the kernel will be flashed and u will be said to disconnect and reboot your phone..
6)your done
hope it helps..
Hey,
It took me more time to find a good root file explorer than flashing the new kernel. Finally ES Explorer did the work (after ticking root option in settings).
My phone is sooooooooooooo more reactiv ! Impressive.
Thank you faiyyaz for your help.

1. First of all install Init.d Support It's here Just flash zip file throught Recovery.
2. Now download this text file and rename it from ***.txt to V6.sh. Place it on your SD card
3. Install Terminal Emulator on your device from Play Market.
4.Start Terminal emulator, tape su, than tape sh v6.sh
After that follow the install guide links.
That's all
I think it's way easier to do with ScripManager?
Step by step V6 install with SM
1.] Download V6 supercharger and place it on your SDcard. Optionally you can rename it to a simple name like V6.
2.] Download&install script manager from google play.
3.] open script manager and grant it root privileges.
4.] Load downloaded script by selecting it, tap superuser (SU) icon (it will turn green)
5.] Tap 'run' in upper left corner
6.] touch the screen to open keyboard.
7.] it will ask to set scrolling speed, select 1 or 2 or 3 and then enter. Or select 0 for instant display.
8.] let it run until it stops scrolling. It will then ask you "Please Enter Option [1-30]:"
9.] Choose 10 for automatic calculation of settings (V6 cust-oomizer), or choose for yourself. My personal choice is 2
10.] let it do it's thing... after it's finished it'll ask you if you want to super clean&reboot, do it.
To verify if the script has been installed, run it again after reboot.
If all is gods, you should get "Launcher is HARD TO KILL! ie. SUPERCHARGED" and "SuperCharger Level: 100% SuperCharged!"
OMG tnx guys
just want to say ty to all u guys.... i am just really happy...
now i can super charged my sk17i
OMG
the cript is asking me for my desired low memory killer.... i dont know wht this means
