Hey, i've flashed cwm on my tablet recently but i dont know what to do now. I have the android 2.3 installed and i want to install ICS, my device is not/was not supported by the recovery, can i install any ICS on the forum? Do i need a specific one? Should i make my own port?
Also, i was able to root the device (the gingerbreak reboot) and i have access to / and was able to install CWM but most apps say i dont have root, is there anything i can do?
First rule is u never ever, ever install anything not for your device. Doing so, probably a hardbrick is waiting along the corner.
So, even if i install CWM i wont be able to install any ROM? Cant i just pick a ROM for other device and port it?
yes u can port a rom from another device if the the original device got almost identical hardware to yours. but that is not an easy job.
or u could build rom from source if u capable of, more chance of fixing bugs than ported rom. cm source is freely available on github, cm9 to be precise if you're looking into getting ics rom. cm7 (gb) would be easier because u already got stock gingerbread rom.

If somewhere in time X8 get Froyo, will there be Flash support? Cause i read that the flash support depends on processor or something like that.
10x for you answers.
Well the official statement from adobe is that flash 10.1 requires ARM version 7 CPU and our is version 6. Despite of this there is custom froyo roms for other devices with arm v6 cpu so it should be possible. The short answer is that is SE make official froyo or gingerbread rom for X8 it will be probably without flash or with flash lite 4. If we manage to make custom froyo rom it will probably have flash.
Why we don`t start a work on a custom froyo rom ?

'We' is funny word. It means 'I will try to do nothing, but I'm waiting for others'
In fact I can try to bring this up myself but I am new to Android development not new to Linux (as an Unix System Administrator). So if someone give info what is needed to be done I thing that I can create a froyo rom by myself.
As I understand the problem with froyo is that it use a different kernel then the eclair. But because Android is basically linux the kernel don`t affect the software only affect the communication with the hardware (drivers). So we have a 2.6.29 kernel on our X8. If we can use the same kernel for the froyo apps then we can run froyo as well on the same kernel (same hardware) also we can run Android 2.3 on the same hardware/kernel.
there are different APIs.. eclair uses API 7, froyo uses API 8 (info from Android SDK).
so there can be difference in drivers and other.. but it's only my guesses, dont blame on me

You can study the asop froyo rom made by zdzihu for x10 and try something similar for x8.
I don't know anything about linux so can't help you there...

As I understand this ASOP Froyo MOD is only the system.img and data.img and it`s exactly what I need to make the rom for X8 basically what I thing should work is to flush the Phone to 2.1 rooted and after that on the part when we copy the /system folder to copy the one form the Froyo MOD this will work i suppose but need to try it.
Installation process is quite ok but you'll need to make it compatible to x8..
On milestone it was possible. Old kernel and fully working froyo features. It has bootloader locked by 1024 rsa key. Its possible to build froyo on old kernel, but who can do it? We lack of experienced developers unfortunately.
Flash is a different matter, it won't work witch our processor, but froyo optimization is far more important.

Friends got this phone and hes tired of waiting for ICS. I told him id put a custom rom on there, but i want to make sure its stable because i dont want him to have many bugs.
Which ROM should i go with? Im guessing he would probably prefer a samsung based rom over a AOSP rom.
Your title of the thread and your question posted do not match. If you want the most stock and stable ROM then here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731382
If you want something else then 10 users will give you 10 different recomendations. Then they will say its great and pefect but blahblah don't work and the ROM will only FC a few times daily.
Link to the stock ROM above should be the way to go unless you and your friend want to sit down and do some reading on your own.
KA11Xperia Speed Doesn't work on my device and neither does the kernel so don't suggest these
Also can you suggest some kernels that won't put my device into a boot loop
here's the thing seems you dont want ka11 why dont u use ka10.2 they say its more stable, and then install advanced ics stock kernel or xsx kernel,so u wont get bootloop,
theres also the stable version of cm9 its out now,
you should try different roms so that you can tell whats fits for you,
theres also mooded version and miui rom available, just go ahead and try it all, and choose which fits you best
goodluck.
Would it work normally? Would it make the phone unusable? Would it work, but with problems?
Or even the Galaxy SII's ROMs, will there be problems if I flash them on my Galaxy SII Lite (Galaxy S Advance/GT-I9070)?
I just installed a custom ROM for the Galaxy S Advance (the only one I found), but this custom ROM is exactly the same as the default ROM... it is just rooted... but it makes no difference, it is easy to root the original ROM too.
Its default ROM version is Gingerbread (Android 2.3), and the custom ROM is based on Gingerbread too. If I flash an ICS ROM or a Jellybean ROM (made for Galaxy S or SII), will my phone show problems? Has anyone ever tested this?
If I flash a custom ROM made for another device, will I be able to reflash the old ROM? I'm pretty sure I will, but asking just to make sure.
Thanks.
May be SoftBrick! )

Please find the following Jet mode 3.0 ICS themed Rom for I9070 .. I don't think you will be able to flash I900 or SII Rom on this the drivers and Hardware libraries will be different for each of these phones and i dont think you will be able to boot with other roms.
If we were able to just Flash the other ROM we would not have porting the ROMS happening right ?
Yeah, right... thats true.
But thanks anyway, at least there is an ICS ROM for I9070... Thank you for the link!
The phone wont boot because there is No ics kernel for s advance so dont need to try it
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
You will brick your phone. The chipset of Advance is very different from i9000 and i9100.
Try that and say goodbye to your device!
You can only flash roms made to your device, and only for it... there's no way to flash roms for different devices on yours.

Huh... you want a rom built by samsung but that has absolutly nothing samsung made in it? Not sure how's that even possible
There's only 2 ways to go, from what i understand:
- for absolutly nothing related with samsung your best bet is any rom compiled (and modded) from google sources like CM10, aokp, slimbean, etc
or
- any samsung based rom with those aroma setups that allow for the removal of just about anything before installing. In this sense you'll be good with just about any rom you pick since all seem to have it But you'll still have samsung stuff in it since they built it, not sure if there's how to go round that
