Root [ROM v028b] GingerDX v28b 2.3 by Doixanh

yes... just use xRecovery.

sorry... you have to use flashtool to flash the Linux kernel
beware not all apps supported in multitouch mode

cheers :)

hi gabe,

I'm new here and a new x8 user. I just got this phone 5 months back. I've tried the custom ROM FroyoBread v023b FINAL, but it didn't support multitouch. So I just upgraded to GingerDX v013 recently. Multitouch is perfect. :D

I tried v022 a couple of days ago but i don't see much different and multitouch gone. I'm kinda worried to flash the kernel since some said it might brick the phone and just like ur comment above not all apps support multitouch. I reverted to v013. Basically, do u know what is the big different between v013 and v022.

and with v013, I found a few probs not sure anyone of you are facing it too.

1. when you're on the apps list screen, and if u rotate the screen either side, all the apps stack up together on top of each other until u touch the screen.

2. after several reboot of the phone. This thing came up 'SIM Network unlock pin'. I just dismiss it, my phone is working, internet , call and sms all still working. So I just ignore. :D

3. I tried to configure the phone settings for MMS, but the settings canNOT be sent to my phone. Been trying many times, sms all works fine, but not the phone settings (from the telco). Could it be because of the SIM Network unlock issue?

4. One more thing, Adobe Flash Player not supported by this device, cannot be installed.

other than that, v013 is working perfectly. :) Happy to have this after several months of 2.1.:)

Now that the MultiUpload.com server is down, are there alternative links to downloads of the ROM's? Particularly the V22 and V23?

Also, another MOD requires the X8 to be of model #E15i and not supporting E15a, does it matter for your MOD?

Thanks...

hi,

if you are playing games on your Xperia X8 it is recommended to flash LinuxDX kernel by Doxianh.

so check it out here <--- here


after you flash the custom kernel you can play the majority of the popular games (highly recommended). but be warned you might brick your phone if you do this wrongly.

cheers :)

Hi,

I think you got an incompatible baseband...
Did you check for baseband xxx.015?

You have to use PC Companion to reinstall your Xperia X8 software.
Check this forum for "unBricking your X8 phone"

cheers :)

Hi!

I have a se X8 with floyo-1.0, and I want to upgrade it to Ginger DX.
So my question(First question:D) is, can I upgrade my x8 with floyo-1.0 to v023 of this ginger DX right away? or do I need to download and install previous versions of ginger DX?

Please help. :(

Sorry, Im just new here. Thanks in advance! cheers!

Hi,

make sure you
backup all your apps and
wipe everything... before you flash.

Factory reset (full wipe)
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe system cache

then you can just use xRecovery to flash the GingerDX rom.

cheers :)

Hi,

Switch off Xperia X8.
Launch PC Companion
Connect mini USB to Xperia X8
Hold <back> button of Xperia X8 and connect USB to PC

PC Companion should detect your Xperia X8 in recovery mode and re-install your phone's software.
