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, 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

Oh yes XD
And anyway to mess up camera colours ??
And any app which HOGS all the ram ?
under clock it using setcpu,should work with stock kernel I think.
Try Fast reboot pro for rebooting,no sure if it works good on Xperia's or not tho
btw out of curiosity I'm asking this,why you need to do this?
Well i dont want to give my phoe to my elder brother he wants my Arc S and wants to dump the Neo V back on to me :/
I want to make the Arc S really lag so that he thinks he is better of with the Neo V
I dont want to part with it
Im running CM7 on the phone now
So any ways and means to
1)Make apps FC
2)Mess up the camera colour
3)Make the phone randomly reboot/shutdown
4)Mess witht he screen
Thanks for all your help
Will changing app permission cause them to FC ?
EDIT: And no this is no fraud
Im from India and all phones here are box unlocked
Thats what i posted in Arc forums
Any ideas guys ?
EDIT
Can someone link me to a SONY bootanimation ?
Flash a different phone kernel lol

Oh lol,just delete lib files of few system apps,should make 'em fc.
To mess up camera color change camera drivers to drivers from another phone like Neo or V,like in Neo V with Neo camera drivers(in earlier cm9 editions camera was red with Neo drivers on Neo V) camera goes full red and fc later.
To randomly reboot use the app I posted earlier,it can schedule reboots I think,or just install ton of useless background apps and play some games like Asphalt 6,it will automatically reboot
Also delete systemui,apk and say bye bye to notifications & status bar.
Or you know just say to his face that this is your phone and you want it like a BOSS
I flashed nEo Camerai Fix phone wouldnt reboot XP
I underclock to 125Min 512maX oNDEMAND
Deleted bluetooth and set colour to sepia in camera XD
EDIT: Installed Launcher pro
Set scrolling speed to minimum
I love XDA <3

hello guys
sorry for posting this but i am rly confused and i hit this place coz it perfect place in android world and i rly want help
since my last phone ruined RIP moto K1 ,, i rly wanna try android and i cant find better than sony ( best camera and best design )
and when i try to pick a one i stopped at X-ray and x- U coz both has same price in my country and thats the limit i can reach
so now i am confused coz both are awesome both have cons ! .
so wat do u think guess ,, PS i dont care about 4G storage in U coz i guess its fine for me .
is any one try both and if any one which one u recommend ??
sorry for my english

If it just by the looks, I would pick Xperia Ray.
Other than that, Xperia U has a bigger screen, better hardware, better battery life (according to official, usually inflated, figures), and it is also a newer release, meaning that it has better posibilities of getting JB or further updates. The downside is its limited storage, but since you don't care, it's fine.
Camera is basic on both phones. Ray features a 8.1mp camera, meanwhile the U features a 5.0mp camera. But those numbers alone don't mean much.
Although I own Xperia ray, I recommend you to buy Xperia U if you fine with 4GB storage. Dual core phone has become trend nowaday. I also will move to Xperia 2012 phone.

If you r ok with 4 gb storage then go for Xperia U..i see the Xperia U better on all sides except for memory and camera....i was not cool with 4gb storage so I went with Xperia P.. And I think the camera on Xperia Ray is better than Xperia U...
But hey it's all up to the users needs..if you think you need performance then go for XU... If you think you need big storage and better camera go for Ray...
Decision is yours to make...

Xperia U has 4gb for user data and 2gb for apps, so 6gb total usable space. If you can wait for ics or get a bl unlockable xperia u then its a great little device. Minimal lag with most tasks, very clear, vivid and sharp screen and good with multitasking. I just wish I could unlock bl and customise.
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
if you like custom roms you might go better with Ray, but the U has more power and might even get official JB from Sony. I'm also pretty sure that the FXP team will soon release CM for U.
To sum things up: I would go for U. I can also recommend the Xperia P, I own one by myself. The display and sound is awesome.

Better XU! Xray screen is too narrow (3,2 inch). Very not comfortable.
XU has dualcore processor!
XU has crisper screen than ray
XU has better GPU than ray
XU has larger screen than ray
XU's design is more cool than ray
etc..
But Xperia ray has better camera (8 MP with Exmor R sensor) than XU! and xperia ray has slim body than XU.

hop ur request will come true..big question for me?why sony's flagship takes too long to jelly bean(4.1.1) even ics before, they are always the last - WHY?while samsung almost of them upgraded now to jb(4.1.2) and as of now they are planning again with 4.2..other bad news also is that sony already pulled out to asop developer so jb for our xps delay the flagship againe:crying:..i came to cm10 but the camera is too poor..take shoot on dark area is too blurry, looks like the flash is not 100% working..also media is poor, sony walkman player is better compared to apollo maybe because of the bravia engine (xloud,clear bass & clear audio)..so i wonder why many xps user like cm10?for me xtxperience is better than cm10 also..but i noticed system ui of cm10 is better than sony because their rom is very fast and smooth!:good:..anyway cm10 is not yet official and i will wait, and i believed them because every week have a change log, goodluck cm10!
Yeah... I understand what you mean.. But we can only hope it will get better...
Sony is not the popular choice...so they can probably take their time
I truly hope we can get the Sony themed cm10... It would be with great performance and good looks.

Hi guys after a long time i continue developing ROMs

Edited System UI wallpapers/system apps etc......
Battery tweaks
Im still thinking^^

Can u make JB camera Quality AS GOOD AS OF ICS? I know without new camera libs its not possible but sony have released jb for xperia t and v so if u can take their camera libs and make them work it on mdpi phones!
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
Honestly, considering the fact that sony is never gonna give us a jb.... i guess what we really need now is ..a jelly bean rom that is totally 'sony'... i mean to say.. like what they have put there for xperia t and v..... this rom should look lyk as if it's frm sony (and far better than sony, ofcourse). from the Ui to the customization (like for an exanple..sony never gives a blue colored text anywhere in statusbar... it's white). mayb i sound like one with only wishes and wishes but no wish to help but i swear most of us would like the rom to be a fresh,sony-themed,fast and stable one. just spare the blue/miui/cm theming and all....other roms have that. we need a 'sony jb'. ...would be happy to test the rom once i get my bl unlocked. keep up the good work.

And No bloatware with Your own touches ,,I believe that it will be so Hard ,, However U R a Great dev Hope u the best ,, Thanks

Oooh man this moment is too good to be true, never missed any of ur rom updates, welcome back , anyhow, +1 for pure xperia looks like that of vanilla's with ur awesome touch ofc ,and hopefully a cooler new camera ui libs if possible ofc and a neat system ui like that of serajr's for ics am pretty sure it i'll rock, cant wait
+1 for the camera. Don't know if it's possible, but the main reason I'm not using JB right now is that cybershot is not available.

Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
I think you should use a mix of sony style with aosp and you could use pacman rom as base because it has more options to costumize... for last, you should include walkman player with sound mods because the sound of jb roms for our devices sucks
I like to use an hardware button for flashlight, the option in cyanogen and in rom control ...
AW: JB ROM taking suggestions
I can say following
Build Base :
FXP CM10/maybe M66B extented Rom
I decided for the Mixed look between Sony and AOSP
- Sony Media Apps (Walkman,Album,Video)
SONY sketch Font
Xperia z Boot/Nexus Boot/..............
Clean (without CM10 Bloatware)
Edited Wallpaper
SONY launcher
A lot of more changes forgot
TWEAKED whole SYSTEM
New Scripts
Icreased Smoothness
Low ram usage
Very efficient
MORE IN PROGRESS
YOU CAN PM ME WITH IDEAS
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
Good to hear ur idea .. however as aosp style/mixed style is already present in other jb roms here in xda, u could hav thought of the idea of making it pure sony-themed. but i can't imagine the amount of hard work u r putting in it so whatever u like, bring it on mate .. a bug-free jb rom,that's it! <fingers crossed>
