Hi,
Now that you have got a rooted Xperia X8, installed xRecovey, JIT and Link2SD, Live Wallpapers and everything is working fine...
What's next? Playing games, using widgets and apps?
SONY Ericsson has officially stop developing Android OS for the Xperia X8.
Eclair 2.1.1. is the last software update.
Wondered what it would be like to run Gingerbread 2.3 on your Xperia X8?
I have been using a "ported" new ROM called GingerDX
This "Gingerbread" Android ROM 2.3 is stable.
GingerDX ROM Features:
Clean stock CM7. Latest Gingerbread 2.3.5.
