Tried to upgrade from Floyo-1.0 to GingerDX v009 but then got problems with USB connection and the SD card not able to mount. Had to go back to Floyo-1.0.
Did full wipe before updating the ROM twice but still the same problems (or is it bugs?)
Liked the new Market GUI version though.
Waiting for a newer version in the future.
Update: Just changed my microSDHC from a no-name (generic) one to a Transcend 8 Gb Class 10 microSDHC and it's now working fine with the custom ROM flavors (kuyaDROID and GingerDX)

Hi,
I think you should try to do a <Privacy> factory (data) reset and start over.
I sounds like have a .android_secure folder conflict.
i'm using v009 of this rom.. i'm having problem with the x8gesture module, may be someone can help me with this.. cause it states in the feature that theres a x8gesture module installed..

Hi,
I did a factory wipe with xrecovery and now everything is working fine. I had done a factory wipe before installing 010 but apparently that wasn't enough.
I don't know if it was an .android_secure folder conflict as you say or some old data that was left from the applications I had with 2.1 (I could see them as installed apps using 8Kb each in <settings>/<applications>)
[SOLVED]
After updating I've lost the swedish keybord. It was working in v007. Present keyboard
displays only english letters. When you press e.g. a, then a, ä, å appear as options.
Previously, å,ä,ö appeared as separate letters.
Is there any way to recover this feature?
Solution: v010 has HTC keyboard as default. It is enough to change it to Android's keyboard.
Sorry...

Hi Guys, DX version 11 seems to work well, however I have a couple of questions. Coming from 2.1.1 I am now a bit confused by some features that weren't there before.
(1) I had partitioned my sd card so that link2sd could work. Those apps that I linked still show on file manager, but not on GingerDX apps, how do I access them, or can't I? On from this, should I remove the partition if I am going to use Ginger DX?
(2) 2.1.1 had a built in turn off mobile data switch. In order to save battery can anyone suggest a way, or a good app, to turn off mobile data?

i have a question like it about partition and link2sd or app2sd?
Are you aware of a "bug" in android > 2.3.2? See here:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/ [split] detail?id=15631
(apparently I can't send links in my messages, so I splitted it...)
Is this something that you could fix if google doesn't?
Its the same... from XDA Dev.
Sense is just a theme User Interface.

You can try to reset your battery stats
charge you phone to 100% and then 2 hrs more
then reboot your phone to Xrecovery > advanced options> wipe batt stats

My phone is currently running 2.1-update 1 and I'm thinking I might give updating it to gingerbread a try, but having a look at the how-to I saw this in the requirements section
If you are stuck in a boot loop it's because you have got an old baseband xxx006
Two things there I need to check out and/or resolve before I go ahead, the phone I rooted months ago and xRecovery was installed at the same time so that's all good
But my baseband version is xxx006, sounds like I need to update that, so how do I go about doing the baseband update?
The other thing is that I don't know what the latest kernel version is or how to get it, my currently running kernel is 2.6.29

Hi,
You didn't say which model X8 you own.
There are two different models: E15i and E15a
Download FlashTool
Download Baseband 015 and unzip baseband and put it into the Flashtool folder
connect X8 to PC
run Flash
select the 015 baseband and flash your X8
hey gabe i got baseband 15 preinstalled on m phone but after installing the custom rom my phone is stack at the cydodren mod 7 and goes for infinite loop
what do i have to do with update-GingerDX.v012? It seems different with other rom. How to install?
sory, i'm newbie. thx
after download the file ..DO NOT UNPACK IT
put anywhere on your sdcard
boot to xrecovery
do a FULL WIPE
choose 'Install custom zip'
choose where did you put the file and select
reboot
done
I have upgraded my X8 to the gingerDX v013. The problem so far is that the mobile will reset when the screen goes off while connected to an adhoc connection. can anyone help?

hi,
de activate LED light?
try reversing the setting.
I have not tried. Sorry.
I'm using v0.13 and everything is working ok except a few things:
1) I can't get ringtones from my SD card. On Settings I set up the ringtones I wanted, but when the phone rings it plays the standard ringtone, and even though I set it up to vibrate, it doesn't.
On the Messaging Settings I can't get the phone to get the ringtones on the SD card.
2) When I get an incoming call it shows "Unknown", even though I have the numbers on my contact list.
3) I tried to sync my Twitter contacts with my contacts on the phone, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanx in advance!
Hi,
1a) you have save ringtones as .ogg use root explorer and copy and paste to /system/media/audio/ringtones on your phone
1b) you have to save SMS tones as .ogg use root explorer and copy and paste to /system/media/audio/notifications on your phone
2) incoming caller ids depend on your country's mobile company. my phone companies charge for caller id services.
3) I have no idea about Twitter cause I don't use Twitter. Sorry.
sometime my X8 cannot connect wifi..
i must do factory data reset to fixed it..
are it have alternative way to fix it?
i confuse to do wipe after or before install rom?
p/s : sry if my english bad
Hi,
You do a factory reset (full wipe) using xRecovery if you are changing ROM
You do a factory reset (data wipe) using the phone's <settings><Privacy> when you update a ROM
If you are using v15 you need to flash the +v15 Phone hotfix for stable wifi
cheers

Hi,
I think because some coding in v15 is in conflict with wifi settings
so hot fix is to be flashed to get wifi working.
I do not use v15... I am still using v13.
I think v14... v15 with the hot fix is not stable at the moment.
I don't like custom with hotfix... it shows that something is not working properly.
I will wait for a better version without hotfix...
