[bal27]

u need to edit the build.prop in the hot fix... just go thru posts u wil get it..

it has bluetooth working, n some other bugs fixed....
im using it right now, no prob till now.. hv to wait n c..

 

[Lupajz]

I am still running v1 It looks there will be more updates comming so I think it is pointless to install every update

To bal27: read through the forum, you can find the build.prop file Just push it via adb to your /system/ and you are done

Just install with Astro normally and you will get an <upgrade> option.
Just hit that and everything will work.

cheers

following method fixed me
1) Install ADW
2) Set default launcher as ADW
3) Search LauncherPro in root explorer & delete all found files & folder(deleted /system/app/lanucherpro.apk and /data/app/com.fede.launcher-1.apk)
4) Installl LauncherPro Plus
5) Set default lanucher as LP
6) Remove ADW

Hi Mr Gabeyong! I am being thank you again and again. I have ported
[ROM] Srom-2.3.3GingerbreadX8-V2 by stelios97&zousoum96 to my x8 by reading your guide. It is awesome except FM not working.
I have a question to ask you. Why Mod version is srom-2.3.3gingerbread-v1(x8) and Build number is v1? I am sure I have ported
[ROM] Srom-2.3.3GingerbreadX8-V2 by stelios97&zousoum96.

@ gabeyong

Thats awesome, 2.3.3 was stable indeed but i decided not to keep it for now coz i cant stand the fact that everything isnt perfectly functional on my phone...
Anyway restoration worked fine except for the android market. Idk why, but everytime i try to run android market it crashes. Any ideas? Thnx btw

PS. I restored exactly as you said, without wiping first. maybe i should have done this right?

PS2. Ignore the previous. Wipping and restoring fixed that

Hi,

check your baseband
if your baseband ends with 006 you cannot use any Custom ROMs
go to racht's post and download + flash 015 baseband.

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 Xpedia X8.
Eclair 2.1.1. is the last software update.

Wondered what it would be like to run Gingerbread 2.3.3 on your Xpedia X8?

Hi gabeyong, the 2.3.3 is great news. Congratulations. I had posted to you earlier about the froyo installation that cam to a screeching halt at the Google registration. That problem got solved when I installed a 2.3....it doesnt directly go to registration. So I could go to wirelesss & networks and enable date. Thanks for everything!
