Thing's you will need;

drill and drill bit

4 pieces of electrical wire

"super bright" "super thin" LED (ebay £1-£5)

Small amount of sticky back plastic

Small amount of Electrical tape

Pliers

How to;

Firstly remove your back cover off the x8.

measure up the LED. and get a drill bit to match the size,

Drill approximatly 5-15mm under the camera lense hole and secure LED here. (it doesn't have to be here it could be at the other side of the Xperia badge but just dont put it too close to camera lense as it will light up your pictures too much)

take X2 piece's of wire connect them to LED and flow them across the inside of your phone to the connection pads where the camera button is operated.

Secure wireing with sticky back plastic and use electrical tape to cover any "open" wireing.

take another X2 pieces and connect to battery and the physical camera button

Now when the Camera button is pressed down the 4 pieces of wire will meet and thus making the "superbright LED" light up your scenery perfectly.

This is just a how to. a make shift light for our X8. in theory it work's

if you try this comment and let me know how your's has come along

Thank's and i hope i get some of you modding hardware not only the soft part :)
[XPERIA X8 General] velnens123:
I'm sure this will work, but i don't have required materials.
[XPERIA X8 General] DeanBoro:
Brilliant Idea!

Will purchase the materials and post pictures and a tutorial step by step =]

hello frds if we make this type camera light accessories

fit in3mm audio jek or in charger port

this camera light accessories work with k750 and etc:)

View attachment 709947
[XPERIA X8 General] Raazax8:
I remember those. I only came up with the idea to put our own lighting into the phone's as i know there is no such item's available. and without it being built in i missed the quality of pic's in the dark so thought about making my own LED flash for the x8's camera, whilst this thought came to mind i thought i would give it to all who may be interested !

Thank's
[XPERIA X8 General] TakamineSubasa:
Excellent idea, it remembers me something like this:
[XPERIA X8 General] BIG JD:
Or you can just take the x10 cam board out and replace it whit our x8 as it fits and works just Google it how to fix the x8 the cam has it own motherboard in it and so dose the x10 and that fit and work fine just get a bust x10 from eBay for penny's I did

PS I though every 1 done this if u do do this you need all drivers for the x10 cam that the only down side

post if I can find that web address again ill post it up for yous

super.sense on x8
[XPERIA X8 General] Nikkopt:
False.. This is complete BS, why are you giving false information? Lol.. You must tell me where you buy that weed dude xD

The x8 camera connects tru a socket, the x10 connects tru a flex cable.. Also, the x10 is way bigger due the autofocus mechanism.

But please, post your source :)

Edit: OP, depending on the led you buy, you might also need a resistor.. Anyway, i think it's better to carry a mini torch light than to cut holes in the phone but thats just me.. If i want to take a good photo i use a proper camera. Also, you need basic soldering skills to "connect" the wire to the button. And not wanting to kill your dream please remind that the button serves to close a circuit that gives a signal to the OS that it was pressed and you don't even know the voltage it passes tru there. By connecting it to the battery you will be exposing the circuit to 3.7 volts.. Not a very nice idea but HEYYY i don't want to judge any one, please go ahead and post feedback :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Raazax8:
:-) well yea that's all true. i wouldn't use a solder iron though just "wrap" the wires round where they need to be. and the whole bit about "" the button serves to close a circuit that gives a signal to the OS that it was pressed"" are you onabout the camera button? if so no it doesn't it just presses down the rubber button bit that activate's the camera
[XPERIA X8 General] Nikkopt:
Lol.. and how do you think it activates it wise guy? Magically? Also, rubber button? Are you sure you are on the right forum? This is not vintage-phones.com (if it exists).. Phones don't use rubber to make contact anymore, for ages now, and the ones that still have a rubber keypad use metal clickies behind them ;)

I'm not bashing on you, you just don't seem to know what you are talking about and still insist that you are right..
[XPERIA X8 General] Raazax8:
-----------------
[XPERIA X8 General] Raazax8:
i got stupidity shoe's on when typing that this morning.

i read it back to myself and thought i just said what they said but in layman's terms.

also i think you got the wrong end of the stick as i wouldn't put the wire "IN" the button's. just under the case where the camera button is "chrome button on side of phone" i would simply "fix 2 wires here" and on the side where the "chrome button" connects to the plastic that is onto of the "clickie" i would place 2 wires here. thus making a connection without touching any metal part of the phone itself

That is all !
[XPERIA X8 General] Raazax8:
^ See what i originally put ^

In theory it work's

I have not tried it and i won't attempt too either. just an idea i had and wanted to share !
[XPERIA X8 General] Nikkopt:
You mentioned the connection pads in the first post so i immediately thought that you would use the clickie button itself, my apologies here.

Although this seems to work in theory, it wouldn't actually because when the cover is in place, the chromed plastic button that pushes the real one is already touching it, you can confirm this by pushing it softly and see that there is no travel space between them at all, it's always touching it, just not pressing :) this doesn't let you have space to put the wires to begin with :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Raazax8:
Correct.No problem iv got a solution LOL

It begins with a drill and a button.

Yes a separate button just for the flash do as i described but instead of under the camera button make your own flash button just above or below the camera button. this also double's your phone up as a torch aswell. GREAT

sorry but getting desperate for answer's in making this one work. lol

I repeat it's just a theory . i concede that it's a flawed theory :confused: :o :(
[XPERIA X8 General] Nikkopt:
Lol.. well yes, that would work if you really managed to get all the wiring and the LED inside the casing. But lets be real, a LED doesn't really give much light to make a difference at all.

I just used a torch light just like this one: http://www.acsmarketing.biz/pic/hardwarebig/FR-7304 9 led torchlight big.jpg

It has 9, super bright.. and the pic still sucks, in fact they are almost identical :P .

The problem is that they give you a constant amount of light, and flash LEDs give you one or two bursts of much more intense light. It has to be in bursts because it makes them very hot, just like any camera flash..

Simple LEDs do help with close up pics, like scanning a bar-code on a paper for instance, BUT since our camera doesn't even have auto-focus, close up pictures are always blurry no matter the light :)

What's PlayStation certified?
[HTC Desire S] :
The Xperia Play is Playstation certified, it contains the gamepad :)

but i added some framework files from the Xperia Play, that were needed for the live wallpapers, but the framework files also contained the PS certified certificate.

you could do something extra with that certificate, only i don't know what. it sounds cool :D but it definately has something to do with games :o
[HTC Desire S] Fionn.Jia:
same question .....play games online ;?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
can playstation certified mean that we can use playstation suite?

it would be sweet if we can :)
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:

What Exactly Is Playstation Certified?

From: gizmodo.com.au

If i did help, please press thanks ^^
[HTC Desire S] Archyy:
I put an experia game on it but the is no d pad, how do I play it then?
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
look at my post for the explanation.

Playstation Certificate just means that this phone has the authority to play playstation games. nothing more, and as we lack from the hardware of XperiaPlay we just have the certificate for nothing. I dont know if we can get it to work, but i would love to give it a shot. i may try to find a way to port the files from XperiaPlay Stock Rom on DS
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
so all we really need is a gamepad emulator to run in screen over the games much like the GBA and PS1 emulators
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
yeap :D

but if we develop it we should really be able to make it work on every device, and im not really interested in any other devices than desire family :p:p
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Indeed, hmmm well I shall have a look into it, however havnt got much free time at the moment as im trying to move house! :P

But if someone/group of people could get it working that would be amazing, maybe look at talking to the people that have done the PS1 emulators im sure it would save time using some of there work
[HTC Desire S] Archyy:
allright :)
[HTC Desire S] Niko0olas:
Seems that Xperia Play guys are trying to get Sense UI on xD

Xperia Play Android Development Forum - [ROM] HTC Sense ROM port + kernel Thread

But, they've run out of luck too as their developer is too busy

and he is having problems on porting the

HTC Stock Kernel

we desperately want to get rid off :p
[HTC Desire S] :
In the attatchment you see the framework folder of this rom. that contains the PlaystationCertified.jar and xperiaplaycertified.jar

so i guess that did the PS Certified job ;)

And i have a question

Can someone tell me where the stock wallpapers are stored? and how to set it as standard wallpaper when 1st boot. now it's the 'nexus' live wallpaper

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Desire S] :
well that's the cool thing about the 'android development' section :D to port things that weren't meant for your device.

And the HTC Stock kernel, I really agree with you. I first wanted to start as SensUX, (sense 3.5 and UX) but very soon enough, i was using Cyanogen :p
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Any update m planning to try this...:)
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
SensUX. I see what you did there. :D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Lol :p I guess that was just an accident.

The latest htc tablet, puccini runs a UI with the same name :p
[HTC Desire S] :
omg... Honeycomb Sense on the DS :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] :
i'm in kind of trouble at this moment:

i pulled the SystemUI.apk from a stock Xperia Arc, so i built a new SystemUI.apk for CyanUX. but as soon as i try to install it, ADB tells me the certificate is wrong. so i Sign it, but still, adb keeps telling me the certificate is wrong. here's the APK. can someone fix it for me?
[HTC Desire S] gscollier:
Love this ROM. Spent most of this week trying others but have come back to this. It doesn't seem to have battery issues as with other current CM ROMS and speed results in Quadrant are off the scale: 2600/2700 but with Sense lucky to break 2000. Using stock kernel, don't see a reason to change.

Importantly (for me only!) CM7 ROMs work with my Bluetooth keyboard. NONE of the Sense ROMs do, and I have tried them all!

Kudos djpbx, for your first ROM this is great!

Well, if ICS is bugfree (camera ect) i'll start cooking a ICS version. :D But for now, i'm glad to say I finally fixed the Timescape twitter problem, (there were some cm compatibility issues...). it contains the newest Xperia S launcher, Xperia S widgets, Xperia S bootanimation and Timescape. In 3.1 i'll re-add stuff such as Bravia and other Sony apps. I just wanted to fix all the annoying issues from the last verisons and start with a clean base.

Any review on v3.0 ?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Based on CM7 + the UI elements from Sony.

Looks & feels good. Although u can still see through the CM base (of course) e. g: I don't know how the Sony Gallery looks like, cuz, here the Gallery is default CM7 just with another Icon !

A few FC's here & there with the call log process, etc... But, that's okay...

Had a 1st hand feel of an Sony Android phone, without actually owning one :)

Thanks DjPBX!

Anything new on this rom? It's been almost a month since the last update. I'm pretty exited over this rom, but I've decided that I'm not gonna flash it before it gets the 3.1 update as promised in the first post.
[HTC Desire S] :
Sorry no 3.1 coming. My development time goes now most to SenseMOD FlashONE, maybe later An ics version is coming.

you meant "SenseMOD FlashONE" ? :D

Sorry. I was quite sleepy at time of writing #school
[LG Optimus 2x] tankwokhwee:
Okay, i have been using O2x for a month and i feel that on performance wise is just average.

So i would like to ask people out here to rate these 4 phone on performance basics:

(1 - 5, 5 being the best)

Samsung Galaxy S II

HTC Sensation

Motorola Atrix

LG Optimus 2x
[LG Optimus 2x] mach2005:
With a custom rom and CPU at the same speed as Galaxy 2, you get almost the same scores.

People have to inform wich rom and Cpu speed they are using.

Otherwise this threat has no use.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i dont know how the performance of the other devices is but the stock o2x system is really slow compared to cm7 and probably most custom roms.
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
I have my O2X with CM7.

Love it. Infact, i like this better than the SGSII. The SGSII's build quality turn me off actually.

Just have a couple of problems now:

1. Battery could be slightly better

2. The LCD Bleeding is still a bit irritating.
[LG Optimus 2x] tankwokhwee:
I have been reading screen bleeding, but what does screen bleeding means?
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Agree CM7 is really good. To bad about the A2DP.
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
You get what you pay for. And o2x is the best at this. For less than 340€ you get dual core, tegra, nice screen.

If money isnt a factor go for S2
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
White glowing in the edges of your screen, warch a black picture with full brightness and you will see it. Allmost every edge-led screen has it...
[LG Optimus 2x] bestg1:
SGS2 vs O2X

As of now I`m epecting my O2X to arrive within the next days, giving away a, besides crappy batterylife, excellent SGS2. But after a line of only HTC made handsets and therewith highest quality experienced ever, I just can`t live with only one day juice on actually doing NOTHING than just NOT touching the phone, maybe one or two short calls. So from my point of view: As long as battery threads filling every known forum for SGS2 ---> hands off!!

Performance is brilliant though.........:(

Hope O2X can do at least better here.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you don't touch it you'll get more than a day, if you use it, not so much.
[LG Optimus 2x] Neefy:
Would wish I had bought the Galaxy S2 instead
[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
I own all of the phones listed above, the S2 is great on stock, 2X is god on CM7. Atrix is no good. Sensation is pretty much average but is snappy. :)

So preferences based on performance.

1. S2 - Stock Rom PWNS

2. 2X - CM7s Top pick

3. Sensation - Dust specs in screen.

4. Atrix - No good CFW, stock is dead too.
[LG Optimus 2x] tankwokhwee:
Haha i also wish i have bought the sgs2
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
I was wishing that till 10d 725 and cm7 :D
[LG Optimus 2x] vtracer20:
in original form the phone is junk, sure it's basic android but LG dropped the ball with putting 2.2.2 on this device. after rooting the phone and installing CM7 the phone is pure magic. Everything flies, smooth, that's how it should of been from the beginning. Either way i'm jumping ship when nexus prime comes out.

Adding to you your rank, i think the 2x is better than the sII due to the fact the sII feels like paper in my hand. Construction wise it's crap, i rather have some weight to my phone than a piece of paper, hardware wise the sII is better with a better screen/pictures/video but i think the phones are on par if you update the 2x to CM7. I havn't use any of the other phones.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
after 3 months using o2x, LG made major mistakes

1. they stock rom is 2.2 if we compare from sgs2, htc sensation. they already use 2.3 for their stock. even atrix which has the stock from 2.2 they can do the fast upgrade to 2.3 rather than o2x.

2. the memory of o2x is low compare with sgs2(1GB), sensation(768MB), atrix(1GB). this is dual core phone and why LG only put the memory 512MB???

and the cpu is still in the same range between sgs2,sensation, and atrix.

that's my opinion

i have one random reboot(using old rom v10b) upgrade to v10dESA, v10dEUROPE, and v10eESA no random reboot, and have problem once with the wifi but after the baseband is upgrade it's ok so i can't complain about it :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
I think the Optimus 2x is a great phone, just that the software portion needs more customizing. Hardware wise I think the 2x can compete with the rest.
[LG Optimus 2x] vtracer20:
phone is can compete with 3rd party software, stock form the o2x is dead last. I find mine (CM7/rooted) to be smoother than my friends sgsII.
