Does using BusyBox Installer to install busybox v1.19 cause a soft brick? xRecovery nor ClockWorkMod loads, it just sits there at the bright white Sony Ericsson logo. This is on GingerDX v008.

On v007 I had also bricked it, but only saw it once I rebooted after installing Chainfire3D. Though that driver was what caused it, but maybe that was also due to updating busybox.

Updating busybox does make all root accessing programs work without complaints, so there is definitely some improvement possible around that area.
[XPERIA X8 General] Henk Poley:
What did you install between your last successful boot and the soft brick?

btw, you can get your phone working (reset to factory conditions) with Sony Ericsson PC Companion:

Start PC Companion, and select Start on the Support Zone box.

Click Start > Repair.

Perform the Android upgrade once again from the beginning.

During the repair step it will explain you how, just follow the pictures.

4179mv & 3825mv display the milli-voltage (mv) measurement of your battery. It is supposed to only drop a little bit, the electronics require a certain base voltage level.

Voltage is not the capacity. Capacity is measured Ampere-hour (Ah), or sometimes in Watt-hour (Wh); though that's not strictly "capacity" in the formal definition.

I recommend reading up on: Voltage, Ampere, Watt. Wikipedia has probably a nice article in your native language. Battery University has some excellent English language info about batteries.

so i rescued my bricked phone with flash tools and then installed 008. the accelerometer was working fine until i installled x8mddi lag fix.after installing it became slow. does anybody know how can i restore the original mddi?

also wifi adhoc not working.still the obtaining ip address loop is present.

HELP :( currently facing problems when connecting USB :( whenever I pressed "Turn on USB" the screen hangs and the phone reboots. Using GingerDX v0.08
[XPERIA X8 General] pradhana:
Try full wipe in xrecovery,
[XPERIA X8 General] Henk Poley:
Your phone gets slower, but has some more free memory. Programs may start a tiny bit faster.

JIT, just-in-time, compilation is a way to translate Dalvik bytecode instructions to instructions the processor in your X8 understands. The alternative (used in Android 2.1 and earlier) is an interpreter that looks at each bytecode instruction individually and then decides what to with it. When you run over the same part of the program again, an interpreter has to make the decisions again. While a JIT makes the decisions on how to handle the bytecode once, and then stores it as native processor instructions (this takes memory). Properly deciding how to translate bytecode take some time, so you so some minor slowdown in startup speed. A proper JIT first runs a regular interpreter, and then does the JIT step once it knows something is used frequently.

Since the JIT is enabled by default on Android 2.2+ I suppose the effect of the JIT is overall positive. Maybe if you suspect a JIT compiler bug, you could disable JIT, reboot and try to trigger the bug you found again. As a regular user you can quite honestly leave this setting alone.

hi, sorry if someone mention this before, but Barcode Scanner (ZXing Team) doesn't work on GDX v008 ;/

BTW. which barcode scanner have similar functionality?
[XPERIA X8 General] AD2:
Amazing ROM GingerDX is.. The only problem I have is with the unresponsive bottom half of status bar. Is there a way around it? What if I install the module for dualtouch? Will it solve anything?

Wifi tethering

Hi everybody, thanks for your work that made my phone better. I have a question for you, i'm using gingerdx v007 but i've problem with wifi tethering. I followed the istructions for ax8netfilter, app wifitether works with no error but i can't connect with networkmanager in linux.

sense lockscreen in v08

hi,, kindly help me in unlocking the sense lockscreen in this version.... am trying it for past 6 hrs.. could'nt find it out:o:(
[XPERIA X8 General] Henk Poley:
WPA2-PSK works fine with the AVM Fritz!Box 7170. It must be something with your access point.

Alternatively you could try comparing the tiwlan.ini settings with the stock ROMs.
[XPERIA X8 General] Henk Poley:
You could also wait for the next release, the developers already told that the next version will have it unlocked by default. Given the past release schedule you just have to wait a few days (I'm not on the team.. also: it's ready when it's ready.. yadayada).
[XPERIA X8 General] doixanh:

R u try to send or receive MMS? Otherway great ROM! Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Since I'm having the same problem with WLAN disconnect/reconnects with GingerDX v008...

I just tried with a D-Link SuperG AP, a TP-Link WR841N and WiFi at McDonalds (no idea what AP/Router they use). I experience the same problem with the three aforementioned WLANs plus my home access point.

Any chance you have a copy of the stock ROM tiwlan.ini at hand and could post it for us to have a look at it?

On another note, SSHDroid 1.8.0 doesn't work correctly - it complains about "Adblock software installed" (though I didn't install anything like that). Root Explorer 2.16 and Titanium Backup 4.0 work correctly and all three of them have no superuser issues. Couldn't do any more tests as the WLAN issue makes it impossible to download from Android Market (for example I took me 27 retries to get Skype downloaded and installed).

Ok, so it seems that a lotta people are having problems with wifi. Can anyone post the stock twilan file from Eclar (2.1) for comparison? Even the one from froyobread or floyo may work.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
I replaced the tiwlan with the one from froyobread and the problem persists. There's gotta be something else.

Please, remove the listed solution to the wifi problem as it doesn't work
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
This is the fix for the wifi issues. Go to the quoted post to see the attachment.

I don't know if DX changed something, but those files fixed the connected/disconnected bug gingerDX had.

Please add it to the first page.
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Non-affirmative, Sir.

Flashed the file to which you linked and now it's a complete 'No go'... no WiFi anymore at all.

It simply does not activate (just sits there for about 15 seconds before the checkmark vanishes again) therefore fails to scan for networks. Re-Flashing GDX v009 only brings back the meanwhile well-known disconnects/reconnects which make it impossible to use any networking related application (Market, Skype, Trillian, ...).

dmesg says:

<skipped output above>
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
TIWLAN: 2233.718573: Interrogate TX/RX parameters
TI WLAN: driver unloaded

Note: can't provide a full dmesg output as, for whatever reason, I get a "error: insufficient permissions for device" when trying to connect through USB - I took the lines out of the Terminal app.

Loops everytime I try to activate WLAN

Back to Floyobread until this issue is sorted out as I need working WiFi; at least for my device it's not a "WiFi fix" for GDX v009.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
I didn't flash it. I opened it, and copied the 3 main files in the wifi folder:

- twilan

-tiwlan_firmware

- wpa_suplicant

There's another folder in there as well, but that was never in my phone's wifi folder so I didn't copy it. Try that (always backup your files first so that you don't have to reflash).

To summarize, what I did was:

1) backup those 3 files

2) delete those 3 files

3) copy the same 3 files from the attached zip

4) reboot
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Ok, did as you said... Flight, we're still at "No Go"

WLAN disconnect/reconnect still happens after replacing the files and rebooting.

EDIT I was working with a fresh flash of GDX v009 ... Factory Reset / Flash Custom Zip / Reboot phone

Upon boot I skipped the Setup assistant, installed Root Explorer, backed up the original files in /system/etc/wifi and replaced them with the ones out of the FXP ZIP - rebooted, enabled wlan and connected to my AP. /EDIT

Observed dmesg through terminal (adb still doesn't let me connect by USB or network):

Note that I'm not sure if the last two lines @613.xxxxxx have anything to do with the wlan interface.

That's all I see when the wlan interface goes through a disconnect/reconnect cycle ... in "Settings" in only see "Scan" / "Connecting" / "Acquiring IP-address".

Apart from that there's a boatload of dmesg output from msm-audio going on.

Any chance I can somehow get the config-files and firmware blob from Floyobread (v023b) as WiFi is rock solid there?

-B.Jay

EDIT 2: If there's something I can do to help identify the WLAN problem please let me know.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
That is weird, man. I have to test my phone's wifi further to determine if it was fixed or not. Yesterday I left it on a ping loop to my rounter and from the computer to the phone (that is 2 different pings) and it didn't seem to disconnect.

Have you tried setting the network manually (ip, subnet mask, etc)? You can try that with Wifi Static (it saves configs for different networks),. I just realized that I have that app enabled (all options checked) and set manually, so that may have actually been the trick. Give it a go: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.statIc&feature=search_result
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Installed, created a profile for my access point and rebooted just to be sure (am still on the FreeXperia wlan files).

Also fired up a two-way ping from my Linux Desktop <-> Phone.

Problem hasn't gone away by using a static network setup.

- WiFi Static shows me a toast notification every time the wlan goes through the "dis/co" cycle.

- Ping times out on both sides while the phone's wlan is "resetting" (can't think of any better definition).

Just to iron out the other problem that bugs me ...

Any idea why adb refuses the connection?

- I turn on USB-Debugging

- On my Linux desktop (Mint 9 amd64) I open a terminal ...

Case 1 - USB cable plugged in (USB storage not enabled)

$ adb start-server

$ adb shell

error: insufficient permissions for device

Case 2 - USB cable unplugged, network connection

$ adb kill-server && adb start-server

$ adb connect 192.168.0.17

unable to connect to 192.168.0.17:5555

$ adb help

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26

Mind you, adb worked with Stock Elcair and Floyobread

Error tracking would be so much more easier with "adb shell" access to the device.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
I don't know about adb or linux. You can get the froyobread files by downloading the rom and opening the zip file. I have to say I tried them and got the bug you mentioned where networks couldn't even be scanned
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Errrr... scratch the disconnect/reconnect happening while pinging...

While the ping from Desktop -> Phone is running the wlan stays connected, though I'm somewhat irritated by the random roundtrip times; they range from ~10ms up to ~900ms. Once I stop ping it takes the usual $rand(3-5) minutes for the connection to reconnect.

As you can see the times are very inconsistent and a wee bit too high for my taste (plus the 1330ms at sequence 809 are way through the ceiling for a "idle" network connection that's just pinging).

This gets me thinking - any chance the problem could somehow be connected to some power management feature going wild (i.e. WLAN idle sleep or something around that idea)?

Edit: Without pinging the phone the WLAN icon shows 3 "bars" (counting the small "dot" on bottom) - while pinging the WLAN icon is all green to the top.
[XPERIA X8 General] Bobo E:
Notifications cause high battery drain

I found GingerDX v008 very battery demanding. Version 009 seemed to fix the issue, but last night battery drain was back again. It seems to me that high battery drain was started by incoming message - after that phone did not return to sleep state. After clearing notifications in the morning, battery drain is low again.

Does anyone else experienced the same bug, maybe know the solution??
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
i have same! its very anoying!:mad:
[XPERIA X8 General] Bobo E:
Peregrin found possible solution (i have not tested it yet).

Go to Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Interface->LED notifications->Advanced There Succession is checked (by default!). If you uncheck it and check once again, warning appears saying that this choice may cause 3% per hour battery drain. If you want LED notification, check Blend Notifications.

May be this is a secref feature doixanh was talking about? :)
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Now that some time passed by a short update on my problem.

Using the wifi files out of the ZIP file Dextor_prog linked a few pages back led to a problem solution over time - the longer the phone was running the less frequent the WiFi disconnects/reconnects became. Actually they entirely vanished after ~12h+ uptime (though I doubt that this information will be of any value to Doxianh).

I didn't reboot the phone so far as I finished up installing the apps I usually use, so I have no idea if the issue will be back again after a reboot. For the time being WiFi is rock solid.

This leaves me with two unresolved issues.

1. adb can't connect to the phone by USB (insufficient permissions) or WiFi (connection refused).

2. This one is already known: Barcode Scanner (com.google.zxing.client.android) crashes shortly after activation.

Same with latest Kuyadroid

When I try the Camfix for Hackdroid it actually disables my Wifi(says its scanning but nothing appears with fullwipe b4 install)

Kuyadroid v2.7.136 is the best so far, working cam, seems to be smooth and Wifi is stable.

Ill try to use the Fix from your post again with GingerDX 009 and leave it on over Night and update if its going to work or if its still unstable after waiting :)

a bit laggy

hi guys virgin poster here :-)

I love the rom but I am experiencing a bit of a lag on the home screen and the menu, everything else seems to work great but this is really annoying me. I tried full wipe but I feel like it got worse. Just installed v10 and the problem still exists. if anyone has any suggestions I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Oh and also I have the smartass values set for the battery saving from the general post (i think) and I am using SE Home Launcher.

thanks again

EDIT: scratch that just after I posted it seems like the lag is gone. :-)
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
@sapabg - After the first boot it's normal that phone is laggy and slow because it's genarting new cache, dalvik and loading stuff. Second boot should be as regular.

Indeed, smartass govrenor is not intended for speed/performace and Active launcher is not so smooth as Launcher pro
[XPERIA X8 General] sapabg:
:D yep thanks man...for everything you are doing hat down and thumbs up...long live and so on :D

actually the lag started when I was with v9 and I think it was because I was trying to install the V6Supecharger script, SetCPU, Smartass all at once then I made a full wipe and it was laggy as hell but when I posted it was just after I installed the v10 and now it's all good I'm lovin' it :D. Thanks again for the hard work and keep it up. Just decided to share my xp and really I can't thank you all for the great work you are doing. Peace
