Root [ROM v3] 2.3.7 GingerXperia Revolution ROM for X8

[gabeyong]

BTW,I downloaded the 006 version last night which has working Bt and WiFi but got confused by the files in the zip. Google Apps, Live wallpapers and a separate update.zi p file?! Why all these files?
Seems a hassle to install compared to 005 ROM...

Hi,

with 006a ROM version you have to update the ROM first
then install the google apps
then install the live wallpaper.

BUT

there are many reports now that the battery management is not implemented properly 50% battery drain in 5 hours of use

Any news about the battery life on your phone with the J006a ROM?

i am waiting for a better version of his ROM

cheers

Hi,

So sorry to hear that your phone was "bricked" by the new busybox

You are in a similar situation with Blitzkri3g see his post... and follow the thread.

Blitzkri3g's Post <-- here

Also have a look at this thread How to rescue our bricked phone <-- here


Lesson to learn here is once you have setup a specific rom (floyo or gingerbread) DO NOT update your busybox

cheers

Why don't you run 2.2.1 floyo Rom ? I think it is the most stable Rom avaliable atm.

Hi,

Might be a old version widget that is not supported by 2.3.3.
or
Your widget has been installed on your SD Card. For some reason (I don't know why???) widgets will not work if you installed/move them to SD Card. So the solution might me to install and move the app to phone <settings><Manage applications><select app><Move to phone> - now <tap-hold> homescreen <select><widgets> is your widget on the list?

Some widgets I have downloaded from Market did not work so I just move on to the others. I am really not a widgets user.

cheers

Hi gabeyong, I have a question...

No flash isn't included in the roms so far And I think it is not possible to run it for our devices so far

Does it have xRecovery and busyboxin the ROM? Or will I have to reinstall?

You are asking silly questions ! xRecovery is a must have ! so is busybox it is pre-rooted, but it still has the bug, which makes your device to restart after closing root apps :/
