This ROM should now boot for everyone!!! Stock kernel, Alfs, DXkernel, cheap sd-cards, expensive sd-cards, your favourite slutty sd-card, no sd-card, SD-ext, no sd-ext, 5+ sd-ext, should all be good now...

Mirrors will be coming later but I am uploading lots of stuff atm.

Please be patient.

can you include launcher pro 0.8.6(free version) on this rom?

LauncherPro is much better then zeam launcher.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] shark221:
hi,

Thanks for your ROM.

Super Fast

Wifi works really great

super smooth in scrolling

Battery improve greatly than v2.3

but there is tiny white line(about half) on the upper screen, not a big prob but sometimes it's annoying.

how can i remove this line??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
On the top of the statusbar?

I believe that is the MIUI style battery, the line should correspond to the percent of battery left.

The great news is this doesn't use any extra ram what-so-ever.

You can disable, enable, set static colour, set different % colours, change the width, change other stuff at

Settings->CyanogenMod->FroyoProSettings->MIUI...

I like to set it to blue (for the stock theme) + static colour + width=2.

Disable it if it is annoying and it should not return.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sevyj:

O.K.

You can download this ROM from Here or Here.

Guys, please rate this thread 5 stars, as I seem to have had a few haters rating it low. Thanks.

<lopman>

Apps2sd comes stock on this ROM. Apps will be automatically installed on your sd-ext partition if you have one.

<chuan1311>

Yes you can install this ROM on the stock kernel and in XRecovery if you choose.

It will work but I personally install this ROM with CWM though. (On stock kernel & Alfs kernel.)

Add-ons in post#2 should be good for this ROM now, except the Arabic add-on, I need someone to make this again for me based on FPv2.4 files. (I do not speak Arabic.)

Also if multi-touch/dual-touch is not working for you. (Cypress users)

Flash the add-on "CypressMultiTouchInstaller.zip" attached to the bottom of this post.

I think I will just remove the .bak extension myself in the future though so users do not need to do anything.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MFaust:
this rom is greate and the battery dorpped 1% overnight but i hame a small question...

how can I overclock my CPU?

I have Stock Kernel...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Papun:
/system/lib/modules/ delete .bak on x8oc.ko.bak

reboot. enjoy :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MFaust:
it works... thanks!

and sorry for the noob question:P
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
MFaust please read this post by the original creator of the overclock module:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1020313

There is actually two different ones included in the ROM, either can be used by renaming either one 'x8oc.ko' & rebooting.

(Or you can click on the modules names in the first post to find out more information for all of them. You will have a better understanding on what you are doing and what they are all for.)

On stock kernel I personally do not use an OC or UV module.

A few more add-ons added to post #2.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Papun:
why?

_______________
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
For some reason on my phone it always seemed slower.

I think I did some testing before and 2d or 3d (I can't remember which now:D) suffers no matter how much you jack up the mHz.

I never had problems with heat or rebooting or anything, the phone scrolling through menu's and what not just seemed a bit jerkier/not as smooth. (For playing some games OC probably really helps though.)

I seem to remember the other OC module (the larger size one, renamed x8oc20.ko.bak rename to x8oc.ko to use it) working a bit better for me.

On Alfs kernel I have to OC otherwise the performance imo is worse than on stock kernel at 600mHz.

(Alfs 600mHz < Stock 600mHz) (Stock OC'd < Alfs OC'd)

I guess it is important to say that every device is different and your results/feelings may be different.

The other (main) reason I do not use it is I am forever flashing my device with tiny fixes/testing things.

btw iPapun thanks for all the PM's and suggestions. Keep it up. I do like root browser though as it has the same functionality as root explorer but it is free & with the included .root_browser file you get the full version for free (the original dev of the app is happy with this).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rly:
Wow!! Lrakkarl, your patch works like a charm!! I'm not really sure what actually fix the problem either the patch, the v24 update, or that channel settings because I done that at the same time :D

Now I can use my X8 as my daily modem with single data plan for both my PC and my mobile (which mean saves money) :D

Many thanks for you lrakkarl! You are on your way to be the next legend in X8 Developments! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] NIMBAH:
This rom is great! I tried V2.3 and didn't really like it and couldn't see any advantages over gingerxperia but this version is awesome:D

It is really fast and smooth although it would be easier if overclock options were included in cyanogenmod settings. I don't really like Zeam launcher so I installed Launcher Pro Plus and its even faster. Haven't had any problems with this so far and the colors and animations look great.

There only thing thing I would say to change is to add the cypress dual touch by default and the overclock options in settings. Other than that this rom is GREAT !

I've been on GingerXperia for a good few months now and no rom has come close to converting me until now :D

Try it with supercharger + 99xTweaks + build.prop tweaks and this is super FAST !!

Here are my scores on stock kernel - overclock 691 Mhz

Before overclock and any tweaks I got 1625
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
Thanks for testing rly I will refine the patch and upload it to #2 post.

If you have no other problems then it will be included next time round.

Also remember to set up a password with Wireless Tether app, otherwise anyone in range can connect to it and use your data plan!

Other users on stock kernel please try flashing the x8FPWiFiTetheringFix.zip from #2.

Nice! With a faster SD-Card and a few more mHz you would be over 2000+. Try swapping the OC modules see which one yields better performance/stability for you.

Edit: 3d does seem to be down a little though?

But please be aware that all scores will be very different based on what tweaks/modules/kernel/cpu clock/SD-Card you use. :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rly:
Lrakkarl, I think I've found some minor bugs in your rom. First, the GSM network switcher sometimes doesn't locked properly to only 3G mode. Second, the DSP manager doing good at playing music, but ruin the ringtones & navigation sound when they're played. Third, your v2.4 is just way too cool! I love the HTC keyboard theming. Fast n beautiful just like Lambo's cars :D

How come the dsp manager doesn't have equalizer presets?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dsaklein:
Well, could someone answer me....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
Turn the volume down...

My rom has greater sound control & a higher max volume in all situations.

You are in control of that.

I'll see what I can do about dsp presets.

Kragg5 I think you will just have to reinstall the rom.

Just do not full wipe and you will not lose your data.

I do not know where you found that add-on?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dsaklein:
Nope its not the same...at previous version sound was good even at max...but this one get distorsion and gonna broke my speaker....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tommolo:
I've installed this rom and it looks great but I have a problem. How can I make the status bar transparent? I mean, I found the option and I did it, but after rebooting the phone, the status bar is transparent only in the lockscreen and not everywhere. Why?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ken-Shi_Kun:
The ROM is great as is, but can someone tell me why the CPU usage is constant 95-100% ? The prevorius ones haven't done this. (eats a bit more battery, so it could be true...)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
<dsaklein>

I meant 100% volume in this ROM is like 120%+ in other ROMs. Turn the volume down if what you are playing/doing starts to distort. How many of your devices (except your phone) do you put on full volume? In some situations and doing some things full volume is fine but you must remember full volume in my ROM is much higher than full volume in other ROMs. You have greater control over the volume (count the steps compared to a different ROM), you have the power, the control is in your hand, what you do with it is up to you. For voice calls and such forth I love the extra volume (in noisy places).

<Tommolo>

Change launcher, the launcher that comes with this ROM does not support a transparent status-bar. This is a launcher issue. Will probably move to a different launcher next release but please download another launcher that suits you. (LauncherPro offers greater performance/speed, I just happen to like Zeam as I have been using it since early development. Probably will move to SE four-corners launcher in next release. Just download any from XDA or the market.)

<Ken-Shi_Kun>

What kernel mate? Alfs or Stock I do not have this problem, (haven't tried LinuxDX with newest release) are you using cpu spy from market to test this/how are you testing this? What cpu governor are you using? I always recommend ondemand for stock kernel, interactiveX or ondemand for Alfs. If you are on performance governor then the cpu will stay at the highest selected frequency. What other apps have you installed that may always be running in the background?

Is the semi-transparent background of the HTC keyboard annoying anyone? Thinking of changing it to full black as it looks weird sometimes in some apps.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Alfs 6 with the fix v2. the CPU widget is SLW CPU Widget, governor is ondemand (but the effect is the same with smartass 1 and 2 interactivex and minfree).

hw.conf is modified, deleted the gesture module and the oc module, activated mtv2 smartass and uv. from the apps deleted dsp and voice dialer.

Oh and for the bacground apps. Runs only the most importent (85M free): Default input, es task manager, froyovread, messaging and clock, nothing more (not even hidden)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rly:
Semi transparent keyboard background is ok for me. Fortunately I love almost every customization you made, I love the styling, and I love the wallpapers choices ;)

Lrakkarl, what I/O Scheduler do you recommend for stock kernel? What is minfree?

Anyway, I have some suggestions for customization, maybe you can add some pop-art style widgets or any other modern art from devi*ntart, if you like it of course ;)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nibynoga:
I've only started using custom roms, I'm no expert on the subject, but this one is really great! Smooth, terrific battery life, nice look. Thanks a lot for this :)

I have two questions/suggestions:

1. Would it be possible to long-press camera button to play/pause music with headphones plugged in? I think I saw that feature in one of 2.3 roms, it's quite useful. I know volume buttons work for changing tracks. Would camera button work in 2.2 rom?

2. I like the battery bar introduced in the latest version, but I disabled it, since having both this bar and the battery is too much. So my question is, could there be an option to remove battery icon from the status bar just like you can remove the clock?

Thank you and keep up the great work! :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
Data2Ext links the whole data partition to sd-ext. Check screen shot 4 in original post.

Apps2SD only links apps&their data and the dalvik-cache to sd-ext.

Please use Apps2SD if that is what you are comfortable with. No real difference they are both for increasing user space for more apps.

You can flash this rom using just XRecovery if you flash the FPv22apps2sdNoData2Ext.zip after flashing rom and before rebooting.

Mirrors are FileSonic!

so u mean dat data2ext is included in the rom insttead of app2sd? cos actually i havent tried it, will u nclude app2sd too default
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
This requires:

stock kernel & dual mode recovery.

This is the easiest way to create sd-ext/2nd partition on sdcard with our phones:

1: Backup all data from sdcard to computer *Important*.

2: Boot into ClockWorkMod by tapping touch-screen while on Sony Ericsson screen

WARNING: We will now delete all data on sdcard, that is why you made a backup.

3: Advanced => Partition SD Card => 512M or 1024M (depending how many apps you want to install/the size of your sdcard) => 0mb for swap size (or if using a custom kernel ;) you can set a swap size of 128m) => Yes to format.

4:Power Off phone.

5:Remove sdcard and put into computer, put the files that you backed up to the computer back on the sdcard.

6:Insert sdcard back into phone and power on.

I personally think it is worth it for all users to flash back to stock kernel & dual mode recovery. Why? Just so they can partition their sd-card like this as sd-ext will be formatted in Ext4.

Ext4=Best speed/reliability overall.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Hefko:
Look at score in antutu. This is awesome rom :)

CWM is different in custom kernel, do not have this settings :) Ok, i formatted ext 2 in PC with Easeus partition manager. How to check if it works?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lrakkarl:
If using Easeus make sure both partitions are marked as primary and 2nd partition is named sd-ext.

You can check sd-ext directory for data files with any root file manager or if you are using stock Data2Ext that comes with ROM, you can check 'Sd card & Phone Storage' in settings, then check Internal Phone Storage. If it says 212MB Total Space then it is not working -something wrong with way sdcard was partitioned.

Root file manager here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338582

Rom already includes the needed file for full app functionality.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Hefko:
hmm, i did not rename it as sd-ext , i will do it :) thanks
