XGin 6.1 + 6.2 by Rieken Yuki - XPERIA X8 Android Development

XGin 6.2 : (CWM install...I'm a bit puzzled here. Because on my device, xRecovery install works better. I tried both, works on both types. But when I use CWM I have some lag. If I install xRec, is perfect. Hm...)

Having stock kernel, from where I stand, test results are the same as in XGin 6.1. concerning Linpack, AnTuTu and Quadrant. I attach screenshots bellow. Well, still a great Rom, the best, good battery life and , of course, Cypress users like me have to add ax8mt.ko module again....
After checking FB Indonesia, looks like the Changelog mostly reffers to tweaking the Rom with the existing , rich, .apk's and making it Compatible with custom kernel. So it looks like the problem lies with me, that I still have Stock kernel...
Attached a Screenshot from Kryshna Yana, from FB Indo, showing great results with diferent Kernel.
Thanks for that,
And for a great job.
I feel there is not enough importance given to this great Rom.
on the other hand is true that I use XGin on a day to day basis from the beginning, so mabe I am a bit bias. But anyways the rom is stable, smooth, and just suitable to my use and to anyone that needs a stable, reliable, no FC and no OC either. Great battery life, 1% loss over night.
All credits to Rieken Yuki : thank you master for a great ROM.
Also to Mika Dee for the site and support.
Credits go deeper - to Shpit, the original XGin Dev, FrogyFurnetal for contribution, other Indo users and Devs and of course to original CM6, CM7 dev. team. As I understand, Rom is ported from Hero.
Thanks to anyone who contributed.

Screenshots with results
Results in Linpack: (Jit enabled) : 7.4-7.5
Results in Quadrant (@600): 1160 (2d: 216, 3d: 383)
AnTuTu: 1443 - but I have quite low card values...
Modules: default is the synaptics -x8gestures.
if you have cypress, add a ax8mt.ko module, change permissions, and rename it to x8gestures....
ADDED: Mastah Rieken Yuki gave me the fix for CMparts, now we have OC and UV on this ROM. Great work!!
All credits to Rieken Yuki!!

I'LL test it!
i like w8 look out!

@Op, I used Xgin when shpit was behind it, and that was so fun . But, my guess is that ppl even don´t know it too much since Rieken doesn´t play here on XDA, and the OP from Xgin thread is not updating it anymore . Good to know that indo ppl still developing it
Cheers,

Yes, agreed, and seeing that Shpit's XGIN Op did not update, - not to mention changed his XDA name - I decided to post XGin 6.1 for now. We'll see in future what happens. For the moment Rieken Yuki is porting the new nightlies from Hero, but I cannot give ETA for new version. This version I consider it deserves more attention.
Enjoy,
Cheers

Ok my experience:
-Good performance, except the transistion animation, its slow sometimes.
-The boot time is ok, fast.
-I have no problem with bluetooth and wifi.
Bug:
-if i choose clockworkmod on reboot menu, it doesnt enter to it!
I'still testing it! i hope i can do a short review video for the weekend!

Do you know if he is managing to make his on kernel for this ROM?
Edit: About SIMLock, if you unlock bootloader, you will have to unlock sim again, but I didn´t see anyone who did it already. Everyone who unlocked, said that asks Blagus for the fix, but seems that he is not answering, or ppl aren´t giving the expected feedback on the thread. (sry for the OT)

No idea atm ...but I do not have the bootloader unlocked. reason: I had a simlock on my phone...experts say unlocking will re-appear that simlock. Do u know if is true or not? Anyways for that reason I did not ask about kernel, but I will asap.

Sorry for that , but I posted enough things (changelog, new link, etc) and also I thought the title deserves attention : Rieken Yuki, and not Shpit (thank you for all the work done) anymore.
Thanks for the info with unlocking and for the info on Alfs' kernel, unfortunately I cannot (should not, right? ) unlock it.
Could you be so kind post some Antutu/Quadrant/linpack results with Alfs?

---

I have no pc right now,and i have nAa kernel for miniCM...if i had alfs kernel i would install xGin...sorry :/
You could unlock your phone if you are willing to pay for another sim unlocking.you have no choce.or,buy another sim card from the phone operator where you bought your x8.

no way, unfortunately, that is not applicable. diferent countries.
But that's off-topic.
When you can, if you remember. No rush. We will be waiting some results.
But meanwhile, do you think nAa kernel is not compatible to XGin? Could you see into that? or you know for a fact?

For the moment 6.1. Rom is build to work with kernel Rom. If you check above, nAa Kernel is known not to work with a multitude of Roms. Different would be Alf's Kernel which is known to work on most Roms.
Anyways, the rom is supposed to be installed with xRecovery, so....you can try to do the following:
-go back to stock Kernel, install XGin with xRecovery
- then install Alfs with the patch, then see if that works.
That's all I have for now.
Keep well,
