Your post is a little confusing but i get the point, so i'm going to tell you how i did it:

1 - Repair your phone via PC Companion, it will reflash your phone to "2.1 update 1", and put it all stock.

2 - Root the phone again.

3 - Turn on "USB Debugging" on Applications > Development options and plug it to your PC

4 - Run the app "msm7227_semc.cmd" or "msm7227_setool2.cmd" if your phone was unlocked with SEtool2. These are in the 7z file downloadable in the tutorial.

5 - Your bootloader should now be unlocked, reboot your phone and see if you have network available, i'm sure you will.

After that, just follow the instructions on LinuxDX topic and on GingerDX topic, and your phone will rock your world :-D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
Yes I repair my phone week ago and I do that before you write me Instuctions! I don't know what I must to do. Because my sim card on linux doesn't work!

"Run the app "msm7227_semc.cmd" or "msm7227_setool2.cmd" if your phone was unlocked with SEtool2."

I don't know what do you wan't to say with that part? If my phone unlocked with SEtool2??? When I must to unlock my phone SEtool2 and why??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
No, you don't need to unlock SIM! There is an "if" in the sentence! :)

IF you unlocked your phone with SETOOL2 (that means if your phone can accept any SIM card, because you used SETOOL2 SIM unlock), use "msm7227_setool2.cmd".

IF you're _NOT_unlocked_ the phone with SETOOL2 (what means you've unlocked your SIM with anything else, OR you haven't unlocked sim), then run "msm7227_semc.cmd".

I reboot with kernel ALFS, I need skype to work.

Thank you.

Finally i know why DX doesn't recommend us to use SWAP(maybe is not this reason), i found that when SWAP is full, the phone will getting very lag and not responsive, maybe unplug battery needed.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] caer_ayu:
if only linuxdx have chargemon and sd card compability ..cause i need to charge my phone when it's off ..that way it will charge 100% and last longer
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
Okey,thx-chipship!:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Snowcatnz:
Hi all. I have searched this forum, and can't find answer, so here goes, has chargemon support been put back into Linux DX V4 or do I still need to remove it?

thanks

EDIT: According to the member kulen, the procedure is: Flash kernel. Enter CWM by tapping screen on boot and install ROM.

I have tried to flash LinuxDX over stock ROM and got stuck at the GingerDX boot logo.

Now I recovered my X8 and I want to know it i need to install GingerDX v019 BEFORE or AFTER flashing LinuxDX.

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Enter CWM pressing "back" button when logo apears... :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
With linuxDX I had to tap the screen while booting to enter CWM. With Alfs kernel I need to press back button.

First kernel than ROM is the easiest way to flash because CWM is built in any custom kernel. You only need to unlock bootloader before. You do not need to root, install CWM (or Xrecovery)...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] caer_ayu:
1 - install GingerDX v013

2 - flash LinuxDX and go to CWM (just tap anywhere on the screen)

3 - install GingerDX v019

4 - reboot

Done ..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
Why to install v013 before that. What about v018?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bluedragon38:
damn it !

I root my X8 , i put Xrecovery , all works ..

i try to flash linuxDX to put gingerdx after .. all is good during CMD windows but for now, my phone .. shutdown ! i can do anything ! i follow all step ... hum wtf ?

i cant start him too with the start buton .. someone have the same problems ? :/

edit : ho **** , i must install DX rom first ! damn it .. so my phone is brik ? :/

edit : omg im really noob -_-"
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] caer_ayu:
because v014+ is more compatible with linuxdx

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

flash back to stock kernel ..it might help
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bluedragon38:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
Go back to 2.1. Use PC companion. To connect phone: 1.Connect usb cable to phone and to PC. 2.Than hold back button and insert battery. You'll see green light and before that all you must to click option for update on PC COMPANION. My phone bricked and freezed and stuck at SE logo maybe for 100times and always helped PC companion. If you're pc companion doesn't work use sony ericsson update service! :D

Don't be sad If you can't turn on your phone use PC Companion/Update service and update phone back to 2.1 C..... Than install xrecovery and again install GDX then flash LinuxDx.

How to make the ext3 or ext4 work?:confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chequebo1:
Very simple,

1 .- Copy everything on the card, if something goes wrong, your PC.

2 .- Partition Wizard Home Edition MiniTool resize the FAT32 partition you have at least 700mb, for example.

3 .- Create a new EXT3 primary partition of 700MB.

4 .- Apply the changes.

5 .- Reboot

6 .- Waiting to pass all SD programs to EXT3, waiting waiting waiting

7.- OK
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xp7:
tnx but you did?i did but application installed in internal memorywhat i do?:confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chequebo1:
I have it as he told you and all good.

First you pass the applications to the SD, by setting Android, "Applications" or with a specific program. I have not mentioned that you have enabled "allow applications to move to external memory" in the CM setting menu, but it's obvious.

im sorry if somebody already asked thiis.

after i download v004, i extract it and i dont get .ftf file. i got loader.sin,kernel.sin and meta-inf folder. do i need to use flashtool to make this files into .ftf file..? :confused:

edit: i need to delete system/lib/modules in ROM if i want to use kernel right..? (any kernel)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Do NOT unzi[ .ftf , just flash it using flashtool.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
Yes, MultiUpload dead.

Your Filetram Link is useless as MultiUpload is DOWN!

You could have linked to the MediaFire Folder I've setup with LinuxDX (v004), GingerDX (v013 -> v022) and some other stuff (as posted in the GingerDX thread).

The files stored in there are genuine (meaning: as once downloaded) and not tampered with.

EDIT: If you got hold of previous LinuxDX versions - could you please point to get them from a somewhat trusted Filehost (Arabic / Chinese sites don't look very trustworthy to me) to add them into my collection?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] krishna_yana:
Hmm.. nice kernel.. unfortunately nobody continue it.. :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
doixanh recently (half a year ago?) got blessed with a baby, and since family and real life matters always come first without exception, I think it shouldn't come as a surprise that development stalled.

There's also alfsamsung's Alfs kernel that works with GingerDX - in case you're worried.

EDIT: And in the "Notice" section there's a link to the source of Github. How about you try to develop a kernel instead of complaining?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] krishna_yana:
I'm not developer, also don't have developing skill.. just normal user, and i'm not complaining here, just expressing my opinion...:p

So how bout you?? already started developing from the Github sources?? I think u are more experienced than me in this.. Waiting for your result then, if you do it.. ;)

Sorry for my bad english

EDIT: I see that my post is saying "Hmm.. nice kernel.. unfortunately nobody continue it..:( " not "Hmm.. nice kernel.. but why don't you bla bla bla".. U see it clearly right?? is it look like a complaint?? :/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
I was already contemplating doing some kernel hacking...

The problem just is that doixanh's GingerDX Github repo is not in sync with GDX v022 (it's rather somewhere at v013-v015). When trying to tinker around with the kernel it would be great to have the current ROM source for compilation as well in case some change in the kernel would require a change in the ROM.

We (that would be eagleeyetom and me) are waiting for doixanh to update the Github repo for quite some time now ... and not fork GingerDX but to try to build it our own and maybe create a customized version (for private use) the way we would like to have it by default.

EDIT: By looking at the LinuxDX Github repo it looks like the sources reflect LinuxDX v002 and not v004 ... so here we have the next "showstopper" to try and improve things.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] krishna_yana:
Ooo.. alright, I see.. I will try yours then when it completed and decided to make it for public use.. :rolleyes:

Okey... but i'm, who u see as "next showstopper" here, doesn't try to stop any show... otherwise just want to express my opinion.. That's why i'm saying "nice kernel", and otherwise hope the "show" will be continued --> everyone hope for it right?? :p

and for try and improve things --> not everyone wanna try and have a skill to do it, right?? I'm included in these.. I and some others here just waiting for DoiXanh to come back, or anyone who care to continue his works (maybe its you :rolleyes:)

Peace, keep calm :Dv
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
You clearly misunderstood the "showstopper" reference ...

I was saying that: it makes no sense to try hacking around in a source code that's not equal to the latest binary release.

Read: To try and start up some kernel hacking it would require the _current_ LDX v004 and GDX v022 sources to continue from where we are. Tinkering with outdates sources isn't even worth the effort as it would take some time trying to implement the missing parts from scratch to match the current release.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] krishna_yana:
Ohoho... sorry my bad... i'm not good at english... :o

Nice then... Good Luck for continuing it... Waiting for your release for this...:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TrazerWalker:
can u provide a link to mediafire to download the kerrnel

.............?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
Click the "My MediaFire" link in my signature and find the LinuxDX folder.

Note that the kernel is actually discontinued! You're better off using Alfs-GDX at this point of time.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fred-V35:
I things doixanh should to continue the development of this kernel for his GingerDX rom. And why not create a new kernel for IScreamDX !
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Coudy73:
Developer of alfs kernel is in GDX team. So I think no point in continuing to work on this kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HaloNiels1997:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Mockingbird:

After flashing custom kernel, did you install any ROM? Because kernel need ROM also...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
Guy who's stuck on GingerDX Logo, please remove all in /system/lib/module file before you flash the kernel.

smartass V2 governor set will reboot it?

xRecovery can't work.

Do not partition swap, system can't recognizer it. it will show blank sdcard.

only this i found it at this moment.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
About Recovery

I can't understand only one thing .... On the first page .... the development .... i saw that the Recovery is fixed! I tried both methods (pressing the screen or buttons) but nothing happenned! What is wrong :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kurinkita:
What you read about de recovery being fixed it's the development status.

Our great dev doixanh is working on it for the next release of LinuxDX. Just have a little patience.

Also, thank you doixanh for your great ROMs, and now, Kernel(s).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
oops sorry my bad :) excuse me dx!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] goonsquadx8:
Same for me, can't go into xrecovery nor Clockwork. Doesn't matter if i push files and reboot and follow any procedure.

Wifi don't work for me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
I read somewhere on x10 mini pro forum that leaving sdio.ko and tiwlan_drv.ko in /system/lib/modules and allowing it to insmod on boot fixes the wifi. I haven't tested it though.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sira.:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kurinkita:
Just tried it. Didn't work :|

Stupid question: How do I use the SWAP thingie??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:

what HAS been not WILL be done :)

Edit: I tried several times but nothing happenned :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
That means what he is doing in his "experimental" kernel, so it's like a pre-release kernel that he don't share, it's for his own test.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
it's called "Development" for a reason... means its his own internal testing kernel which is not released yet.

u have never installed any FB or GDX rom, have u? ;) or u did but didn't bother reading the 2nd post :)

There is an app on market that helps you enabling swap. Search.

Wifi fix is on the way. Overclock GPU is not in my plan.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
dx, what is the BFS in development section?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Use Swapper2 from the market.

I wrote that earlier.

Please read all the tread from beginning before ask.

I see on the screen shot that the 2d and 3d scores aren't after over-clock.

2D score is worse than stock SE rom 2D score.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Another bonus: BFS, stock 600MHz, UV, ondemand, GingerDX v014.

It seems much smoother and less latency ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:

anyway - great work!

i noticed module version problems with new kernel, especially ax8netfilter, x8kconfig etc. swap support works nice.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
is it still possible to overclock with module?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Modules like x8oc or x8mt and some other modules are created and compiled for stock Kernel and doesn't work on custom Kernels.

So don't try insmod modules because nothing will happened.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:
I'm using your kernel for two days (with GDX 014) and I did not encounter any instability or bugs (other than those two known bugs)

Good work and keep it up man ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sew00:
What is the difference between the stock kernel and this custom kernel?

What do we gain with a linux kernel?

What is this swap thing? I really don't understand anything 8(

Do i try google? I rather get the answer from people that i know i can trust.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
this kernel has function that the stock kernel does'n have like build in fake dt for synampic, real dt for cypress, undervolt swap and more will be in future.

That kernel is still in early state of development and has bugs. 2 known bugs are: wifi does'n work and recoveries also doesn't work.

All android kernels including stock are linux kernel with some changes to work well on android phones.

SWAP is a virtual Ram, swap expanding phisical ram using some space on sdcard. It is like pagefile on windows. When linux or android has low memory then move some backgound processes and apps to swap to have more space in ram for active app. SWAP linux pc is located on hdd on android phone on sdcard.

Edit:

PS:

Question about SWAP was posted to times earlier and has been answered.

I recommend to Read all the thread because there are many questions answered, so you can find a lot of answers and maybe you will find what you want before you ask.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zhuhang:
lance, those modules can be installed using hw_config.sh, why need to d othis in kernal?

i noticed the kernal even use custom image, spreading fame?? :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Yes Custom Kernels have custom image on boot.

You can install modules on hw_config.sh but the standard modules are for stock kernel and will not run on custom kernel. Module can work only on one kernel version (stock or custom).

I did not saw any module modified to work on other than stock kernel. (maybe I'm blind :P )
