[Galaxy S II Accessories] s2_d2:
I ordered a USB OTG adaptor and it works brilliantly with my pen drives and 1.8" drive. I was thinking of getting an external battery source to give my phone extra juice when listening to music/watching films. Are there any external batteries that act as a USB host whilst giving power to the phone?

I'm contemplating selling my Archos player if this is possible, as the Archos has an external battery which can be used to playback media from pen drives/external drives.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
Which 1.8" drive have you used?

I'm not having any luck with the one's I have tried.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] s2_d2:
I am using the Samsung S1. It's 120GB. You'll need it formatted to Fat32 though, unless you mod the Galaxy S2 to read NTFS as I've read somewhere here (not tried this myself). The Samsung S1 draws around 480mA power cosumption. I've always seen a Toshiba StorE drive but didn't opt to get that as I read it draws 500mA.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cotec:
USB OTG works for me :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mrdo:
so you can connect a samsung s1 without an external power source ? interesting.

do you know where you read about the power consumption ? i'm interested in the 250gb and wonder if the power consumption would be the same ...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] s2_d2:
Yes. It will draw power from the phone battery, hence why I was wondering if there's an external extended battery pack that will also act as a USB host. I haven't fully tested how long the battery lasts using the Samsung S1.

I can't remember. At the time I wanted lower power consumption so I could use it with my Archos battery pack. It was either the Samsung S1 or the Toshiba StorE drive I was going to go for, however by searching and browsing for these models I came across the power consumption ratings. I think the Toshiba model was either 160GB or 250GB, which had a slightly higher power consumption. I reckon the bigger the hard disk, the more power it draws because it's on more than one platter? I could be wrong.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Beards:
Good to hear... I've found a seller for a 160GB for just over £37 which will do me nicely.

I've also left you a Thanks vote.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] s2_d2:
That's a great price! I think I spent about £49 for 120GB when I got mine.

Thankyou also for the thanks vote :)

2.3.7 Rom

Hi all, I'm using a Rooted X8 with a GingerXperiaV20 Rom Running 2.3.7

Ive noticed that after installing a custom rom using clockworkmod, rebooting the phone (for all services and apps to work properly) after the install, really irons out the minor problems, worth keeping in mind if something like wifi isn't working properly in the first instance.

now ive read v22 is available i'll try an google it, here goes nothing lol.... :)

[XPERIA X8 General] cy326:
i have tested a few froyo rom (stock kernel), froyopro, atifroyo, froyo2.x.x, etc, and i found it pretty good. but, there's just something that didn't work in each and everyone of them. i don't know if that's the rom's problem or my x8's problem. since i can't reply to it. idk if this can get me some help. for froyo rom, all the widgets i downloaded and put on the screen, they all unable to load after a reboot, or power off the phone. and when it unable to load, i can't see them on the widgets adding screen, and i have to re-install them all, in order to add as widgets. GingerDX seem to have that problem. but, mostly it just the screen doesn't response or maybe just my phone sucks. or maybe its the kernel thing? anybody got any idea??
[XPERIA X8 General] :
That problem is usually caused if an application having a widget or a widget is installed on the SD card instead of the internal phone memory.

Widgets (and applications that come with widgets) NEED to be in the phone memory, or they just don't load.

Check your settings (default install location) and also check where they are installed. If the are on the SD move them back into the phone memory.

[XPERIA X8 General] _JoaoCampos:
I've been testing all recently updated 2.3 roms with different combinations of kernels, and I came to the following conclusion: Most CM 7.2 based roms have more or less the same performance, and the most updated they are, normally, the fastest they are. And some are really fast indeed. I see CM 7.2 based roms as sports cars, fast but not so "controlled" and not always comfortable. While roms like GingerDX and minicm7 are made to be stable and reliable, very comfortable to "drive" :P

lags under 3D games (Eternal legacy, HAWX...etc) help

I installed two 2.2 ROM, but I have the same problem with both: 3d games are really laggy, they stops in 6-7 seconds for 1-2 seconds. 2D is flawless, the ROMs have both JIT and MDDI fix. I installed them like this:

1.) From original 2.1 SE soft, I did a full reco, dalvik cache clear... etc

2.) Installed 2.2 ROM

3.) Did a full reco, dalvik clear...etc

4.) Rebooted phone, works like a charm except the 3d games are sucks (in quadrant I get 1016 points, so I don't know what could be the problem)

I've got more smoother FPS under 2.1 than 2.2. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug of the 2.2?

Please help, I don't know what to do :(

Please someone answer my question under post #22!

Now I reinstalled with SEUS, and from a clear 2.1 I installed one of the 2.2 ROMs and the same thing happens: when running 3D games, they stops for 2-3 second in 9-10 seconds interval. Why? I insall them as it must have been installed!

Everybody says the games under 2.2 are running smooth. I don't know what to do, and I'm getting really pissed of with this :(
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:

[XPERIA X8 General] Asycid:
No modules. I mean there were modules in the elelinux I have on my phone now, but I deleted them all, except MDDI fix, but I haven't put any modules myself on the phone. As I said the lag happened before I reinstalled a fresh 2.1 with seus too. Strange that with 2.1 there aren't any stopping in any game (except the lower FPS)
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
It seems like mddi module is not working. Look in this thread how to test it and maybe you find solution there:

When you write in terminal emulator:

[XPERIA X8 General] Asycid:
Yes I've got the same output that you wrote.

I've noticed that only eternal legacy have this problem, but some games runs much smoother than on 2.1, some runs much more bad. Reckless racing and hawx has lower FPS, but Dungeon Hunter is running more smooth on 2.2.

Strange.

[XPERIA X8 General] dragunov_lq:
hi this is my first post here so

i tried miniCM 1.0.1 and floyo 0.20 and cm7 v65 so far they all have some problems

for mini cm too many resets

floyo is more stable but some of functions are missing like OC ( i know it's not very important but sometimes it will be needed ) and support for new versions of flash player and adobe air and some options that are present in cm7 in cyanogen mod but it is more stable than others

cm7 is not bad but some of options that were in floyo is not there like LED notification color i really enjoyed it cuz just by looking in led color i could tell i missed and message or a call so i would know if it is necessary to unlock the phone or not ! and some program compatibility problems and most of the time i get force close for launcher and some other programs and it would be great if advanced task manager don't give me force close but it is too a nice rom and again adobe problem

currently i use floyo 0.20 i care a lot about not rebooting automatically and usage of phone and messaging and email

so that's my choice for now

hope we get a 2.3 rom 100% working and stable :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Nurra:
Thanks Disatery for making this thread. I haven't installed any custom roms in my x8 simply because i have a hard time finding a rom that catches my eyes.

Thanks to anyone who answers:) me.
[XPERIA X8 General] genghisk:
so far ive only tries Floyo 2.0 from racht.

its a great ROM! no real issues with it.

- i cant seem to find a good recent calls wiget like the original SE 2.1.

- i am not sure how to restore my contacts. ( i may just have to import them from my previous phone)

other than that it runs faster than 2.1.
[XPERIA X8 General] dragunov_lq:
well today i happened to have a bit problem with my sd card so i removed it ( when the phone was off ) and inserted it to my pc to format it and while it was in progress i turned my phone on without sd card inserted and no problem

but if your have your programs moved on sd card when u turn on the phone it will boot fine but you won't see those apps until you reinsert your sd card without deleting those programs on it

tested this on floyo 0.20

if you still have your previous phone and it happened to be SE you can try my phone explorer it can backup contacts and some other things last time i used that program i saw android logo on it so i think it will support x8 and other SE androids too

and if you have your contacts on your sim card you can go to contacts in phone and press the menu button and select import it will read contacts on your sim and when u see them press menu button again and select import all or if you wanna just import some of them simply touch them and they will be imported by one touch

hope it helps
