Well, the thing is it does not go into recovery, instead it's stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen, on an infinite loop trying to initiate the recovery :P .

How can I reflash a ROM (this ROM actually) on the phone when I cannot really interact with it?

If it's getting off-topic, if you or anyone else would like to direct me to some guide on how I can do that, feel free to send me a PM.

Regards.

EDIT:

Ok, I see. Thank you people!

Also, as a side note, maybe this little fact, that it lacks recovery on stock, should be mentioned in the OP, so that other people won't accidentaly have this happen to them as well :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nazz.rule:
Use x8toolbox to install recovery in your phone..:D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Mayank77:
I agree :P

Anyways , HAKA is aware of this error , and I guess he'd be rectifying it in the next version :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CloisterBlack:
With this I can flash a recovery module in the state my phone is at right now?

I mean , without having to reflash a ROM on it?

EDIT: Nevermind, even if I can, I am not sure I get the instructions, so unless someone can direct me to a more detailed guide about x8toolbox, I think I'll just do what Mayank77 said :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CloisterBlack:
Ok, everything is back to normal. I reflashed 2.1, and then Prime over it.

(one thing though, when I flashed Prime over 2.1, I forgot to do a full wipe prior to flashing, so I did a full wipe after Prime was installed and then, well, I re-installed it, Prime over Prime :P I hope I'll be good. ) [<-- please somebody answer me about this, it bugs me to know that I may have made the installation unstable]

With that incident left behind, and because I like this ROM, I would like to make a couple of suggestions to HAKA.

1) After a little research, and some luck, I stumbled onto this. I am now pretty sure, that the "dead-touch zone" I described to you in my message, HAKA, is not only happening to me.

What I am talking about, everyone else, is the area near the bottom of the screen, which apparently in cypress devices, using CM 7+ based ROMS, is not responsive, or a "dead zone" if you will.

This "patched" module fixes the issue, I tried it.

So, HAKA, would you consider adding this fix in any future updates of your wonderful ROM?

2) The second request is a bit more important.

In the sort time I had 2.1 again on my phone, thanks to the incident described in the posts above, I was reminded of a very useful feature that the stock messaging app has: Cost saving

described as this:

One "problem" I had with my previous ROM, FroyoPro, was that when I was writing texts in Greek, my language, the messages would only fit around 60 characters, because of the encoding used for greek characters. So, I ended up sending 2 or 3 messages at once, to say something which, had I this feature, I would be able to write it in one, 160 character, message.

So, if you could port this very useful feature in your ROM I, and a lot of others I suspect, would be even more grateful :)

(as far as I have searched, no text messaging app from the store offers this functionality, only the 2.1 stock one)

Regards!

EDIT: Also, you probably know already, but the radio is not working.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] adebnath:
I am on Prime HD 8.0 Stock. Recovery is working OK. Reboot into recovery and just touch the screen when "Sony Ericsson" appears on the screen.

Thank me, if I helped.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CloisterBlack:
I don't know, I had tried both tapping and spamming "back" but none of these methods worked for me.

Now, I want to manually install xrecovery (which consists of 3 files: busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar)

Busybox and chargemon are already inside /bin. Should I overwrite them or just throw only xrecovery.tar in there, without bothering with the other two?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RomWiz:
I think you should let them be :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isano34:
after reading some comments here, i wonder why i can boot to recovery, im using stock kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Mayank77:
I dis-agree :rolleyes:

Whenever I get back to stock after a soft-brick , after rooting , I always overwrite these files. Else it doesn't work for me.

According to me , overwriting is necessary for proper working of the recovery.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Siso93:
Mayank is right, I've given my x8 to my sister but I've some knowledge shot it xD however I would like to know, which is the best rom suitable for daily use like messagges calls and internet ..

Thanks in advance

Anyway guys, what system applications are you usually to remove from PrimeHD without affecting system performance? Is there any way we can make the system running even lighter and more efficient?

how to solve xrecovery for this version?

what can i do to make a xrecovery?

when im using tap the sony logo nothing happend?

can i manual put in 3 files recovery in system/bin?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] bhavneesh:
you can use x8toolbox to install recovery!!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] astig_king24:
do you mean my x8 back to orig verison 2.1? when i use this x8tools

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

thanks working!!! :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Mayank77:
The PrimeHD settings have been integrated into the Cyanogenmod settings.

I dont think there is a transparent status bar option in v8

Yes , place the three files in system/bin.

But don't use recovery to clear dalvik cache or cache because it led to a soft-brick for me. You may try if you want.

Use that recovery ONLY for flashing when you have decided to change your ROM.

Yes , you can... Also you can manually place the three xrecovery files in system/bin

No , you dont get back to stock when using x8toolbox
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] arikos:
Amazing

The fastest rom ever tried. :eek:

in quadrant advance it scores 1398 with oc 745hz and around 1186 without oc.

after 1 week the only thing i found is that one-two times the screen divided in two in display but after a restart its ok.

Best rom thanks Haka. i came back to gingerbread after cm9 and totally worth it!!!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] crinoz:
I didt see at the first post the google apps (i tried to install talk from google play, but didnt work).

I get the apps from the thread of minicm7, i leave the direct link, if it is inappropriate, i'll remove it

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] chuan1311:
how is the battery on stock kernel??it is fast drain??
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Mayank77:
The screen-cut is because of your high value of OC.

Set it to a lower value.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RomWiz:
Or the wrong govenour.

Use smartass v2 for oc

Skickat från min LG-P970 via Tapatalk 2
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] arikos:
No. i used that high oc only to see the score in quadrant. i usually use lower oc IF i use it. and i use smartass v2.

for no use of oc what is the best governor to use, because its no need to use oc with that rom i think. no need to reduce the life of the cpu since its fast enough without it

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] chitoka:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] rly:
We're already have ax8_smartass.ko and x8_oc.ko in PrimeHD but why there's no option to choose smartass in CMsettings > performance? Also we cannot choose higher CPU freq

Ok I just installed V8 but... where is Theme Chooser? How can I change theme?

EDIT: Ok found it, it's in the display settings.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CloisterBlack:
Ι installed it last night (still testing it out) but I am not sure it helped in any way. To be honest today I did heavy usage of the phone while I was out, mainly listening to music for a couple of hours, using the maps a little, and having data enabled almost the whole time, and it lasted like 5-6 hours.

I still cannot decide if it just didn't help or if it worsened battery life :S . As I said, I'll test out for a couple more days.

As a side note, in case the proposed set of tweaks is giving you trouble, not registering or giving short write errors, I am attaching the configuration that worked for me.

I have removed the .net tweaks, as they did not register for me, and the creator of the mod said they are not that important anyway, some kernel tweaks that were referring to unknown values, and "fs.file-max=165164" as it was giving me short write errors. I also removed some double entries.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] fotak-x:
Does this slow performace of the rom?

=Prime HD=8=Alfs Kernel=
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Mayank77:
Try another Gallery application.

Try Quickpic

Yes , there's no recovery for stock kernel version for sure.

I don't know about the custom kernel version.

You won't encounter any brick since you can flash recovery after installing the ROM by X8toolbox or manually placing the xrecovery file sin system/bin

Don't be afraid. There'll be no soft brick.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Godra:
Recovery works on v8 only reboot to recovery command doesnt work. Im on custom kernel (Alfs) but I think its same on stock.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CloisterBlack:
I don't think so.

Also, regarding the missing recovery, (I am the guy from a few pages back, who had a soft brick after trying unsuccessfully to enter into recovery) I have to say this:

After reinstalling the ROM, since that incident, I can confirm that CWM is actually installed in the ROM. One can access it by tapping the screen on the Sony Ericsson logo. (I am still 100% that this was not working the first time I had installed the ROM though).

One strange thing that should probably be fixed in the next versions, is that rebooting into recovery, is currently no different that normal reboot, as it does not automatically take you into recovery, rather it's exactly the same process as a normal reboot. On both kinds of reboots you can enter CWM by tapping the screen.

To sum up, rebooting to recovery should automatically take you to recovery, or else there is no reason to have the option :)

P.S. I am on stock kernel
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] 2010matej:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] karun11:
Any side effects of applying the battery mod? Some users are saying it has some errors on primeHD
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Renegeits:
I have installed battery mod in v8 and don't have any errors. Now need time to test and see diference with this mod.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CloisterBlack:
I removed the battery mod. I had fully charged the phone before falling to sleep last night, then I put it in flight mode during the night and back to normal mode when I woke up.

Since then, about 8 hours later, I have not used the phone at all, I mean for nothing, it was just lying on my desk. I just checked it, and the battery has reached around 60-50%.

Note that I had wifi and gps turned off the whole time.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Renegeits:
for me, battery discharged over night only about 10%
