hy guys i'm new to this rom and phone, I come from htc device...

by the way I followed all the instructions and installed v20 with stock kernel. everything working fine, than I tried to change the kernel with flashboot using

the latest E15_nAa-07_2.6.29.6-nAa-07. it flashed correctly but now it doesn't boot at all, it doesn't even get to the gingerxperia bootscreen it stays on the naa kernel screen and then reboots....any help?

thank you
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] luki2411:
this is kernel bug try alfs v05 hi is great
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] materoprodutions:
ok thanks, some people said ver 4 is better than 5..which one should I put?

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------

Big problem, when it tries to install any app it freezes and reboots....what am I doing wrong? this is a fresh install, nothing restored...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] luki2411:
im using v5 and im happy with that

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

you do all from first post from kernel wiped dalvik wiped cache and instal vold after flashing kernel
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] materoprodutions:
I don't understand, I wiped dalvin cache and what is Install vold? sorry I'm a bit confused

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

if you mean install the update-rom-chargemon+vold-AlfsKernel.zip I did but still the same, the phone freezes and reboots when I install an app...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] :
Vold update is mainly for access and mounting SDCARD ... :)

Chargemon is for OFFLINE CHARGING ... :)

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Try to do all over....

first install the rom from stock kernel and don't forget to unlock your bootloader..

Second just flash Alfs Kernel with these update...

Remember wipe ur cache and install Vold update IT MUST !!!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] droidx8:
Try to install in stock kernel (I recommend to do a full wipe and cache wipes before install, restore your personal data with Titanium), then flash Alfs v04-with chargemon kernel (when you flash Alfs v04 with chargemon kernel you don't need to flash update-chargemon.zip) and enjoy the ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pancham864:
Sorry to say this... v20 is couple of steps back.... v19 was way better... xperiafan13 why do u screw up something good in new versions time & again... transparent bar is gone.... ui is bad.... notification bar slide is not translucent which is ****.....icons r old... stornmix is better now whereas earlier it was nowhere near Gingerxperia.... hope u come with a kickass v21....
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] maliceomalice:
u dont have to to say it like that. it would sound nicer if u say "i think v19 is better, the ui is kinda bad"
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] :
Hi Xperiafan

Can you upload link for the ORIGINAL framework-res.apk with UNMODDED ? ....

Thanx....:)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DokaponKingdom:
how can i add EXT3 partition support in GingerXperia 20?

edit: got it! i just took EXT3.ko and jbd.ko from GingerXperia v19. now it's perfect!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
Dont be a fool man,if you dont like the rom then restore your back up,the kid just wanting to help,beside even you dont have a great rom like gingerxperia,i like this rom for me its more stable than v19 & it gives me higher benchmark score...Congrats xperiafan13...

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Svartehjerte:
Hi all!

How is v20 working on the stock kernel? Any annoying bug or something? :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] :
To Xperiafan...

Please rectified the BUG in soundrecorder SDcard cannot access and video recording its lagging......

Kernel Version is not state......

USB tethering is error.....
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
sTock kernel! flash through xrecovery...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pancham864:
I gave all the details so that V21 can be better... remember i am a fan of GX.... and i want it tobe the best ROM... sorry if i hurt ur feeling Xperiafan 13.... i love ur work... but since u r very young i am just showing u what r the mistakes u r making & to avoid them.....(constructive criticism)

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nibynoga:
Does anyone else have problems with Go SMS notifications not working? I don't know if it's the app's or rom's fault.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] materoprodutions:
HElp!

i messed up something. I reflashed the kernel with the stock one using flashtools, now the phone is stuck at sony ericsson logo and It doesn't go into recovery.

what I did was only reflash from flashtools and reboot. I wanted to go into recovery and wipe+6 reinstall everythinfg. I can do everything again from rooting the phone but I don't know how...If I connect the phone to the pc companion it recognizes it but if I try to repair it says that there are no updates availablke...what CAN I DO?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Svartehjerte:
Try Sony Ericsson Update Service

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

you are not showing that, you are just saying what things do YOU want for the rom, and what you like/don't like... it's your opinion, not constructive criticism, and the rom it's not only for you, is first for xperiafan13 and then for us all.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] materoprodutions:
I reinstalled everything from scratch. started from base stock phone not rooted

I updated to the latest baseband

I rooted the phone

I unlocked the bootloader

I installed xrecovery

From recovery I Installed the rom doing full wipe first.

THE rom works fine but as soon as I try to install something it freezes...I can't figure it out...why???? what should I Do?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] JabboMaster:
This is the best Gingerbread rom?

Thx
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] droidx8:
Try some ROMs and you'll get the answer ;D users are different what they prefer, so use what you like!

But try the Guide To ROMs thread to choose ;D

Merry xmas!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dsaklein:
V20 works only with custom kernel or it would work with stock too? and what about performance in this rom
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] milenkokg:
Mmm,its not bad...try it :-) l try with alfs,is everything work good
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dsaklein:
Iv tryed it and its copy if gc8.2 coz it have same bugs
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Anon8989:
Will V19 work with stock kernel(NOT UNLOCKED)?

Howbout V20?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] narendrakini:
Yes ! You are right. i feel the same ! But Gingerxperia is better than gc7.5 .....
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] droidx8:
I've tried out v20 with Alfs v04 and v05 and v05 is soooooooo faster!

And no more FC in HD games, great work!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thu001:
Does v20 work with nAa8 kernel?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] scorpion 21:
for me works but no wifi and vobration
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thu001:
Dang,it doesnt work for me,it just when into the "gingerxperia" logo and kept repeating the sequence
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
so it works perfectly with stock kernel?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mlop:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] topbasework:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] JabboMaster:
Very Well
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thu001:
Only works with alfs or stock kernel..nAa doesnt seem to boot
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hackenhack:
try installing it back to whatever ROM you were and boot it. See if it works.. if it does, try doing this:

Full Wipe>flash to stock kernel>boot>go to recovery and install V20>full wipe>boot(optional: after boot flash whatever kernel>wipe delvik cache)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thu001:
Im currently on minicm7 with its kernel how the hell do i install GX20 from here?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Lloir:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] niki1999kir:
guys help my phone is stuck on gingerxperia`s boot animation.nAa v08 kernel
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Lloir:
use a different kernel, if you read back through this thread you'd see a few other people have same problem including myself.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mrxperiax8:
Hi, I got a few question to ask.

1- Can I use stock kernel? Have any probleme or not if I use GX v21 with only stock kernel? I cannot use custom kernel because i cannot unlock BL for some reason. :o:(

2-How to make this GX v21 more smoother without using custom kernel?

|sorry for my noob question, wondering to ask. :o:o|
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] maliceomalice:
Im assuming ur saying gingerxperia v20,(if there is v21,can u direct me to it..?)

Yep...u can use with stock kernel

U can make it smoother by:

-apply tweaks that are scatter around the forum

-install Ram Manager Pro

-uninstall unused apps n ram consuming apps (maps,email)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mrxperiax8:
Haha. Sorry, my mistake.

Apply tweak? Which want? Where can I learn?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] leungki:
This rom can't charge during turn off the phone?

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] AbirXtreme:
Okay After testing the rom it seems pretty good,

Ill report bugs if i do find any , :cool:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thu001:
Funny, its about the centre clock, when i pull down my notification bar, the date text is black so i cant see a thing other than that great rom... btw install through CWM or Xrecovery?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kirmada:
gx v21 compatible with stock kernel too

and recovery? i guess can be installed with xrecovery too?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
theme problem? I use Sesify, and no prob with that date thingie.

EDIT: after switching to default theme, I still not facing that problem.

I can get it installed using xRecovery :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thu001:
Im using the retrodroid theme the problem persist, will try to go back go the default theme again, thanks!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kirmada:
installed the gx v21 on stock kernel,its smooth and fast cos odexed, one thing strange is that

in aboutphone info, the kernel version is blank? did this happen wiff anyone of u too,funny and strange :0
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Illuminatus_:
Me 2, on Alfs kernel

anyway very good room, nice work
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kirmada:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] darkvision:
how do i insert ICS animation?

which are the correct ones?

thank you
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] AbirXtreme:
Brightness is tweaked too low(so just readjusted it ) , so other than that its a really good rom,Good job Xperiafan13 :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] KASHYAP9:
That was the problem in XGIN v6.1.

And XGIN works perfectly on Alfs kernel.

My Quadrant, AnTuTu scores are similar to XGIN score.

EDIT:

BTW ROM is nice bug free.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] thu001:
Hi i just wanna use the old stock gingerbread/froyo messaging app but i cant seem to put in into the system/app file because of the ODEX files..

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
I think v20 is better in scrolling. anyone thinks the same? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kirmada:
exactly,everything else seems fast but lil lag on scrolling homescreens and app drawer :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ngnr Frank:
But ...I WANT GMaps and Gmail at least: how to install them?

With stock kernel on v20 and v21: is wifi-tether working?

This v21 is CM9 based?!?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
Install gapps

never tried wifi tether

v21 is still based on CM7, the final version of GingerXperia. he's currently building CM9 now.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Tomislav995:
Bug

In status bar battery percentage doesnt work .That is only bug for me.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
I will try this today,bugs report later...Thanks for the rom...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] milenkokg:
Can you make usb>wifi tether to work?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] KASHYAP9:
I am sure he will not.

REASON:- This is the final version.

Beyond this if he make a ROM then series will start like v21c v21d v21e v21f and f means we are f..ked up by X8
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
v21b sounds promising. anyone tried it? I nearly reach quota limit(internet) :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
Now downloading...Can't wait for a test,wifi really sucks sometimes...Why today...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] narendrakini:
Still using Gingerxperia v12 !!! Its definitely better than V21b .... In v12 there is little bit problem with market, everthing else working fine compare to v21b
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
Nice rom i got 1122 quadrant benchmark without oc...Thanks dude...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mrxperiax8:
Stock Kernel

Hey, does it fit v21b with Stock Kernel? Wifi working or not ? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
Antutu is 1629 without oc in stock kernel,when i have a time i will check the wifi...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mrxperiax8:
wah ! so nice. ok, I hope you quick reply with the wifi working or not. ;)

sorry for my bad english.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
Yup!Its working,nothing changed for stock kernel...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mcleod:
Hello,

Can I put the launcher (Xperia Arc Launcher) in the 4 corners mode ?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mrxperiax8:
Ok thanks. I'm gonna try it later. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] xtremeillusion:
Does GingerXperia V21b works well with nAa-08b kernel? I know V21 does not work well with that kernel.

@xperiafan13 Thanks for this great ROM! Clicked on the Thanks button. :) I hope Wifi tether will be featured in this ROM.

You mean V21 and V21b have no difference? Both of them have the same performance in terms of speed? The scrolling is not smoother in V21b?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] daddy_rhon:
I like v21b,because in terms of jit v21b is more advantage,but i experience some fc,maybe need some tweaks or in kernel alfs more stable...You can use 4corners 4x4 too,i used activelauncherics-signed 4corners with 4x4,you can get it in x8 themes and apps section...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mcleod:
It should reinstall active launch apk for 4corners!?

I can not fix it somewhere?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lsalamun:
Guys, does anyone know how to disable m4v video recording? I captured only 2 minutes of video and it has over 200mb, and it lags pretty much, is it editable over hw_config? Has someone update.zip? Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] xtremeillusion:
In V21b, my phone reboots constantly after flashing update-rom-chargemon+vold-AlfsKernel.zip which is required for Alfs kernel to mount sdcard to pc and fix the chargemon script, but it does not have loop reboots on V21.

EDIT: I installed V21b without the rom update for Alfs kernel, my phone successfully booted normally. The performance isn't faster than V21, it's just that the animation speed is faster ,and the scrolling isn't smoother but more lag than v21. That's what I experienced on my phone, V21b may work better than V21 for other users of GingerXperia ROM, but not for me. By the way, thanks xperiafan13 for the great work.

EDIT2: Ok I noticed another bug in V21b. In CyanogenMod Settings > Interface, when I press on Status bar tweaks, CyanogenMod Settings force close.

I'm sorry but I'm flashing back to V21, to me V21 have better performance.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Antique_Angel:
Dead xperiafan13,

How can you leave your ROM undone? It's final? There is wi-fi bug when connecting to EAP networking (in schools and universities). And there is huge battery drain. It's lasts only 1 day and 8 hours with no use?

Come on man, if you started to make a ROM you've been fighting for it so much. Why did you leave it undone? Do you know that we knowing that this ROM has bugs that never will be repaired, no one will use it.

Come on man!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] snoid_zero:
no big battery drain for me using stock kernel.

18h 52m 6s on battery with 17% remaining charge.

Display brightness max with Ultra brightness on.

Have made Calls and SMS, played assassins creed and cut the rope.

however I got FC on Notes app when deleting created notes.

DO YOU LIKE ACTIVE LAUNCHER OR ARC LAUNCHER??
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] attack11:
arc launcher for me....

if you want a tester for your rom i can do it

arc launcher es mejor para mi...

si necesitas gente para testear tu rom antes de q la postees te puedo ayudar...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] droidx8:
Arc launcher is better for me ;D

But I use ADW.EX anyway ;D

v21 and v21b are two undone ROM. Bugs like: no multitasking, some fc in settings, laggy launcher, some fc in HD games and poor antutu and quadrant score.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Papun:
Thank :)

I have a Gallery and music Problem. gallery cant perception pictures and music player need manual stuffing for play any music.

Arc launcher is better for me. but i allways use launcher pro plus. its fast and smooth launcher of all. needs 13-14 MB of RAM and many widgets is included in launcher.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] scorpion 21:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ahmadsamhann:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Lobialkon:

Its a very fast and smooth rom, im impressed.

One more question, is it possible to uninstall some of the apps that are preloaded on the rom? like timescape and an account manager or something like that

goodbye!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] _Sparks:
No its possible, uninstall with Titanium backup or any other similar app.

OR you can delete the .apk files from system/app
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ithunter:
