Hey..nice thread..:D....erm..1 question...shud i delete the apps from my internal froyobread??...cause i have 60 apps ++ and will it make xGin to lag ??..

wat i means is...is it sharing RAM or wat???....it wont lag rite?:D...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
I have not tested with 60+ apps at FroyoBread but I don't think that XGin will be laggy.

Note: If it's laggy it's probably because of your sdcard's Class.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lukewong01:
i tried alredy...it lags frequently..i got microSDHC..class 10..but still lag..i try full wipe on x rec , cmw...and den i reinstall..but another problem detected...it stucks on boot animation..@@..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
It's not a problem, I also have stucked at bootanimation but I retrieved the battery ;) and then it was OK.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lukewong01:
But it was rely slow though ....wondering wats happening ..><…finnaly I decided to flash x gin via x rec ...XP
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lukewong01:
Could u make a flash zip for froyobread??i wanna use froyobread as the 2nd optional boot...and core is x Gin....please??:D:D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
This is something that must be by ROM's cook, in that case, doixanh. In XGin the cook is shpit and HE made it. Although I have no idea how to make that.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
We just need to edit init.rc in /system/bin/ramdisk.tar

just add "#" at begining of MTD mounting line

example

original init.rc from froyo bread v19

# mount mtd partitions
# Mount /system rw first to give the filesystem a chance to save a checkpoint
mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system
mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system ro remount

# We chown/chmod /data again so because mount is run as root + defaults
mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev
chown system system /data
chmod 0771 /data

add "#" before mount like this one

# mount mtd partitions
# Mount /system rw first to give the filesystem a chance to save a checkpoint
#mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system
#mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system ro remount

# We chown/chmod /data again so because mount is run as root + defaults
#mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev
chown system system /data
chmod 0771 /data
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Have you tested it?

Don't give a f@ck about the attachments.\/\/\/
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
i have tested it with stock rom.i modified chargemon script to work in stock rom.then convert rom zip from amend script to edify script.then add rom patch.

i have tested it with minicm6 1.0.2 , minicm7 and froyo bread v19
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lukewong01:
Could u provide me it stock flash.zip for dual rec to work??..i wan the core as xgin rom..and stock or maybe froyobread as second..pls provide me..a FB and stock flash.zip
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
Edify installation script + multiboot patch

I have made edify installation script for FBv19,MiniCM6,MiniCM7 and their multiboot patches.

For FBv019 and MiniCM7

- Extract installation zip

- Remove META-INF folder

- Extract Edify zip to the root folder

- Create zip at root folder

MiniCM6-1.0.2-X8 already using edify script

Edify installation :

Multiboot patches :
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] akaSk8krew:
@puppet13th, hi..with your multiboot patches, can i multiboot froyobread, or minicm?? thanks

Edit: i try minicm6 1.0.2 in multiboot with your patch and work very very good..one question: for froyobread, tis patch only works in version19?? can work on version20?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Updated first post. Yes it works with FroyoBread v020.

And because I had a hard night making the first post from start. I will post How to install MiniCM6/MiniCM7 another day. Sorry puppet13th , and thank you very very much because I wanted that too.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] akaSk8krew:
thanks koulis2000.. after, i try froyobread in multiboot, but for now i install minicm6, and its very very good..work very fast and smooth..and i have a sd 4 class sdhc..work very good..thanks:) wheel in the air:)

ps: dont forget put minicm6 and 7 on first post too:P
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
I was waiting for this thanks much!

I want to know why i cannot install apps and modules in external and what folder is the filesystem in sdcard?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
Multiboot already using sdcard as it base for storage.check /sdcard/clockworkmod/multiboot/

There will be any folder that contain

cache.img

data.img

system.img

Default multi boot only creat 200mb for data.img

I have create 256 mb and 512mb data.img

I will post the file later.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
Im sorry puppet i didnt catch that. can you explain more?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
Which part that u dont understard?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
About the data image created. 500mb is way big than usual rom. What about that image?

Is tis multiboot of FROyo bread not working on v21?...i tried to boot but it stucks on Froyobread logo??any ideas?:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
I have just finished installing FroyoBread v021 as external and it booted normally with the same patch.

If you stucked at boot logo then retrieve the battery, then reinsert it and then let it boot in FroyoBread. Try 2-3 times again if it still stucks.

Note

: Make sure to install the FroyoBread-Multiboot.zip patch as shown on the tutorial.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lukewong01:
alredy booted 2 to 3 times....maybe CMW version ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Did you copied files from FroyoBread-edify.zip into update-FroyoBread.v021.zip ?

If yes and still having this problem then -Delete existing boot option and then create another one using -Create boot option from zip.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lukewong01:
LOL..my bad..=,=...i forget bout the edify thingy..xDD
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
There is a reason for everything.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
This is the Color Hot Fix for FroyoBread v021.

Flash it using "-Flash zip to boot option" sub-menu in "-multiboot" menu.

It's also attached at the first post.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
How multiboot work :

- the system will unmount /cache /data and /system partition [internal ROM]

- then the system will search for default boot menu folder

- it will mount img file from /sdcard/clockworkmod/multiboot/folder

cache.img as /cache partition

data.img as /data partition

system.img as /system partition

it's using loop device just like we use any virtual drive and mount the image.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
These custom ext2 image that i create :

extract zip to any folder.you need to have cache.img,data.img and system.img in one folder.

copy that folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/multiboot/

- reboot into CWM Recovery

- Select multiboot option flash zip [rom zip]

- Select multiboot option flash zip [rom patch zip]
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
MOD please delete this post.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
What are the advantages of doing this?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
we're using sdcard as base storage for the rom.there is no point to use apps2sd/link2sd/move to sdcard for application and dalvik-cache.why don't we just put all app and dalvik-cache to /data partition.data.img already on sdcard.

Don't forget to change cyanogen mod setting to install app to internal.

froyobread v020/kuyadroid 2.7.127

hi all, iv flashed froyobread v020 as internal and kuyadroid 2.7.127 as external using cmmini 7 patch and all works fine except wifi. says turning on then go to error after 2mins? any ideas?:confused::confused::confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Maybe it's because you used the MiniCM7 patch, I have to ask kuyagaol if he could create a KuyaDroid-Multiboot.zip.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ASHLEY117:
maybe but hope kuya could create a patch as his and dx's are the best roms by far. i was also thinking that he changed the wifi files from 2.6 to test in 2.7 so that could be prob, il try 2.6.127 next and check if thats solution?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] puppet13th:
Send me kuyadroid original ramdisk.tar I can modify it for multiboot.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kuyagaol:
there is in my thread page 34.. because its for tester I didn't release it yet.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sendalterbang:
yes mam,i have. but still same stuck on sony logo.also trying patch from another rom. i think my x8 back case is broken now

:(

please dont make my case sacryfise is useless
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Some sdcards are NOT supported.

If you are using the stock sdcard then the problem is sommewhere else.

And what's that with the market, why can't you use it on Froyo, have you added Google account?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
If you stuck on Sony Ericsson logo then :(:(:(Restore it using the PC Companion:(:(:(, and install it after that, make sure to root and install xRecovery.

There are sometimes that you can't avoid Restore:(.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sendalterbang:
just buy back case,cost me rp 35rb (4 dollar).not expensive for experience. i use sandisk 16gb/class 6.if i use 2.3 as primary and its work (kuyadroid or xgin) but if i use 2.2 froyobread n will stuck at sony logo.i need froyobread cause camera n run games more smooth. in my x8 market only works with 2.3 after root althoug sighin to google
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
You can have a Gingerbread ROM as primary an FroyoBread as secondary, you have Class 6 right, it should not affect gaming.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sendalterbang:
not smooth enough sir,compare with primary. testing on nfs shift,angry bird rio n worst on fpse (with oc 760).
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] deedii:
The speed depends on what class your SD card is.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
I really had no problems on gaming even with my Class 4 sdcard, as I have posted I lagged only on applications, games were running very good, both standard and FPSE(OC@768MHz), atleast on my phone, but if you say that games are lagging on your Class 6 then sorry, I don't know why they lag.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] corsav6:
Im now running Froyobread v22 on phone and latest kuyadroid on sd. sd class 2 and smooth browsing, smooth market and slight lag through menus. i cant play games due to lag and fc but im very happy with performance for standard tasks. Froyobread is virtually bug free so games can be played on that. Thanks koulis, great thread.

How do I delete the external ROM? "Delete existing boot option" in CWM recovery?

I istalled XGin 5.4 in external(Card class 6) but I'm stuck in the boot animation. It animates for 3 minutes (VERY LAGGY) and then the screen goes black. Nothing functions. Anyway I just wanna get rid of XGin from my SD card. Can I do it with the above option in CWM recovery?

Well, if anyone know what could have happened and has a solution just tell me.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Yes, you can delete the XGin from sdcard via "Delete existing boot option".

About the problem, I have this problem many times and I just remove/reinsert the battery. And if this don't fix it I just reinstall the ROM, so delete XGin and if you want install it again and make sure you follow the steps really carefully.:D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Chris95X8:
Hey, I forgot to make a full wipe. Silly me :p

Wait.....this won't wipe my entire SD card...right?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
If you Full Wipe, it will wipe your data on phone. You cannot wipe your data on sdcard.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Pjay12:
Help.. - im running FroyoBread v20 and I created boot option XGin5.4 and flashed the Multiboot and all but whether I choose boot option or unset boot option it still boots FroyoBread.. what did I do wrong? I followed the tutorial perfectly. I think. I'd like FroyoBread v20 internal and XGin5.4 external. Thank you!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
What sdcard are you using?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Pjay12:
16 GB class 4. I know you recommended class 6 and above but also said it works on class 4 :P is it possible..?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Yes, it is possible but it is also possible that you have an unsuported sdcard. There are some sdcards that are unsuported. Try it with the sdcard that was included with the phone. If it works, then it is probably your 16GB sdcard that is unsuported.:(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Pjay12:
Oh.. any idea what causes it to not support Multiboot? And does this mean I can't have Multiboot with any other rom? Thanks for quick replies :-) glad to see friendly ppls still on the forum.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
This means that your sdcard cannot use the Multiboot feature, and that happens with any ROM, as I said try to use Multiboot with the stock 2GB sdcard that was with your X8, if it works in the stock sdcard then the problem is the 16GB sdcard.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sendalterbang:
i make multiboot with stock card(from sony) n use increase speed apk.froyobread in phone n xgin in card.there is no problem with running apps n switching rom.but usualy i use sandisk 16gb class 6
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Pjay12:
Okay. Thank you. I'll try. I have it with 3 other 2 gb SD cards.. thank you thank you :-) sorry for noob questions.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] corsav6:
After you have set up for multiboot and set boot option reboot phone and it will go to phone rom(Froyobread) then reboot to cwm and set boot option once again and it should boot to sd, i have to set it 2 times for some reason.

This is what happens when i set up multiboot on both my SD cards, an 8gb class 2 and stock SE SD.

It might not work for you but it works everytime for me and i have used xgin, i find kuya the best option for low class SD.

Also the cwm provided with Froyobread wont work on my x8, i have to use dualrecovery.zip and flash with xrecovery to have a working cwm.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Pjay12:
Thank you :-) :-) will try asap. I had to flash DualRecovery.zip as well.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kueh9:
will it work from stock rom?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
What do you mean?

-If you mean stock installed on phone, I think that it's gonna work.

-If you mean stock installed on sdcard, it's not gonna work, I don't have files or info on how to do this.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] exebreez:
I´ve a problem. Cause when i have the newest Sense Rom from racht on the phone and want to install froyobread, i cant boot into the sense :confused:

It isnt in the Boot Options....
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Koulis2000:
Yes there isn't, you have to -Unset default boot option from -multiboot menu. Then you should boot to the Sense ROM. That is the way to boot into internal.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] exebreez:
So, i tried it again but it always stucks at the Sony Ericsson Logo -.-

What im doing wrong?

I installed KuyaDroid on my SD and it doesn't recognize my bseband version an thus the mobile services aren't working ... Did i do something wrong? I tried only kuyadroid rom before and it worked perfectly. Now in dual boot option this is happening
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] corsav6:
Hi Koulis, I have been using dualboot for a while now as you know and i have no serious problems with it, just one quick question, when i update phone rom does that mean i need to set up dualboot all over again or can i just set default boot option and select the files on sd card that were placed there from previous dualboot install.

Also, all DX roms seem to have an incompatible version of CWM, Error fatal, couldn't verify recovery or something like that, this is resolved by flashing dualrecovery from this thread, sometimes i lost xrecovery but i just flashed cwmtoxrecovery.zip and then flashed dualrecovery again so as i said nothing major to report. Great work and i hope to see the compatible rom list grow in size over the next while, GingerDx would be nice but i see DX is busy perfecting the rom so i'l wait patiently and check back. Thanks Koulis, great thread.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I installed dualrecovery.zip in Froyobread to fix a bug in CWM that said "custom recovery seems bad" and now it has completelly ****ed my recovery mods. I can't go to xRecovery OR CWM recovery (it freezes in the "Sony Ericsson" logo screen). What do I do?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lopman:
Install stock firmware with pcc or flash tools
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dexter_prog:

Is it possible to have stock rom on fone and have another rom such as gingerdx on the sdcard?

I followed the first steps.. Installed Dualrecovery and got CMW installed no problem. Went into CMW and installed CMW-Multiboot-r4.zip.

I can reboot and go back into CMW and see the multiboot menu.. However, If i reboot the fone and try to boot stock rom it sticks at the Sony Ericsson logo and I have to remove the battery to reboot again. I wanted to complete step one then boot to stock rom so I can copy over the files for step 2 and install the gingerdx steps from the tutorial.

Do I need to perform BOTH step 1 (CMW & patch multiboot) AND step2 (install rom to sdcard) before I try rebooting and loading stock rom??

I booted back into xrecovery and restored my original backup to get the fone booting again.

I tried this twice... on the 2nd time I went into the multiboot menu and clicked to "unset default boot option" just to make sure it would load the rom from the fone (original stock 2.1update1) but it still froze at Sony Ericsson logo.

Any ideas guys??

thx..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] terracuk:
Update...

Follow steps 1 followed by 2 straight away.. Stock rom on sdcard wont boot. Setting gingerdx on sdcard boots fine.

Works great for gingerdx on the sdcard.! :D

update again:

ok went through this step by step to find out where the problem starts.. Step 1 is where I lose stock rom. as soon as I install Dualrecovery.zip from xrecovery I lose the ability to boot into stock 2.1 rom on fone. I can boot into xrecovery and into CWM but if I leave the fone to boot it sticks at Sony Ericsson logo.

I guess we cant have 2.1 stock rom on fone and a dual boot option unless anyone can fix???? ;)
