[XPERIA X8 Android Development] aldee_s:
Hi guys, welcome to my thread :)​

In here, i will be posting the ROM that i built, this is based on CyanogenMod 7 latest nightly build. But before anything else, i wanted to thank the great FreeXperia team who works very hard making an opensource libraries for our beloved X8, and doixanh who teach me a lot of stuff about building android, and the last but not least, the super great racht, the developer who makes X8 better than before, and not to forget, cyanogen and their awesome team, without them maybe we cannot have incognito browsing and DSP Manager :D

Well, i'll just explain what kind of ROM is this. First, i build this ROM from CM7 source using FreeXperia configuration and libs for X8, not just editing someone else's ROM. Second, the reason i'm putting it here is for bughunting and of course learning to build android further :D. Third, the purpose of making this ROM is to have a high performance ROM that is meant for gaming, that's because i don't have any portable game console. hehe :p

Ok, now the feature list, here it is :

Based on CyanogenMod 7 latest build

Fully working 3 MP Camera using Eclair libcamera (now with timer) (thanks to doixanh :))

Greatly improved 2D performance (most of them thanks to doixanh again :D)

WiFi is working fine (thanks to FreeXperia team)

GPS is working fine (thanks to FreeXperia team again :))

Great 3D performance

Only needed apps are installed

doixanh's modules for X8 except Overclock

And now the known issues so far :

Offline charging doesn't work yet

The default wallpaper problem (You'll be able to tell it :p)

FM Radio (intentionally disable this, because i don't use it at all :D)

DSP Manager?

To Do in the next builds :

Make offline charging works

Fixing Memory Management (for now still using the standard memory management values)

Change the default wallpaper

Experimenting between using odex and not using odex, because it seems if we use odex, the available RAM is lower, but the performance is a bit better.

And the last message :

I am not a dev yet, i'm just experimenting the configuration on CM7 source to find the best setting for our X8 and i'm absolutely cannot be compared to the real devs here, and please, thank them for their great works and buy them some high quality coffee if you can :p

*also, i forgot to remove the extra theme called Xperia Arc, it is made by kevin2516. Please visit his thread if you like, i don't want to take any credits at all :D

NOTE [Pay attention to this] :

This ROM is originally meant to be used by my community, but i decided to share it here to find bugs faster

Since the first release didn't include any RAM optimization, you can use JuWe's RAM Script, i only tested with it, haven't tried any other

If you find any games that work in other ROM but not in this ROM, please tell me, i'll try it find why and fix it maybe :D

I only tested HD Games Eternal Legacy on this ROM, and it works smoothly, haven't tried other HD Games

If you find any apps that is illegal in this ROM, please tell me, and i will remove it

I warn you, this is not a fancy ROM like GingerCruzt, if you want a fancy ROM, just download GingerCruzt/GingerDX/miniCM7
