Try to do a factory reset in recovery.

That should fix it
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genghis tron:
My problem is getting into recovery mode to do a factory reset. Right now my phone freezes and then restarts the boot loop process whenever I choose the recovery option. Are there any alternative ways of getting into recovery mode besides holding the power button + vol down and scrolling down to the recovery option?

Can you get into Fastboot?

Try:

fastboot -w

fastboot reboot

That worked for me when I was stuck in a boot loop(going to stock)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjwdchen:
Yeah. There was a boot problem on 2.5p. The problem was quickly fixed, but now there is a new 2.6 version that blows all previous away.

ce12373 is right. The new 2.6 is sweet. You might also try pulling the battery, that seems to help a lot of people.

Hi

I have exactly this problem here:

http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=3017

Means that the status bar is updating when a message is deleated but NOT when it's just marked unread. It's synching it correctly with the server, it's just the status bar which isn't updating. That's ONLY for GMail tough! It works with my other IMAP-Client just well, changes to unread and the notification in the status bar vanishes. Just like it should

Any idea??

[XPERIA X8 General] WhatWhatInTheButt:
The long awaited, much tooted, GingerDXv023 is finally HERE! So, without much ado about nothing, let’s jump right in!​

Prior to flashing the new GDXv023, I was running my favorite ROM, namely miniCM7 on ADW EX, which I benchmarked on Antutu right before deleting it.

I'm running the following settings and apps on both ROM's:

CyanogenMod Performance Settings

CPU: min 320MHz, max 748MHz

COMPCACHE RAM: 26%

JIT: On

SURFACE DITHERING: On

16bit TRANSPARNECY: On

ASSET PURGING: On

VM HEAP SIZE: 48m

SWAPPER2

SWAP SIZE: 256MB

SWAPPINESS: 10
​

The test was ran without turning off any processes or background services

minicm7 by whatwhatinthebutt2012, on Flickr
​

After the miniCM7 benchmark, I flashed Alfs08 and GDXv023b, but, since Alfs08 was buggy on my X8 for some reason, I flashed Alfs07, which automatically solved the minor graphic performance glitches I experienced.

Then, to be fair, I quickly reinstalled from the PlayShop the same apps I had before, which included Aldiko, Ebookdroid, MXvideoPlayer, KhanAcademy, MobisleNotes, XiaaLiveRadio, and the standard pack of Google apps, including g+, Sky, and Maps.

With all the apps installed, Swapper2 running, and CyanogenMod settings at exactly the same parameters as above, I ran Antutu. Drum roll please…

gdxv023 by whatwhatinthebutt2012, on Flickr​

Hmm… well, what did you expect, Samsung SII score? The benchmark tells the whole story. Or does it…

Just to be sure, I turned on XiaaRadio, signed into g+, surfed the web a bit, and then I checked my available RAM in RunningServices. Just to remind you, both miniCM7 and GingerDXv023b, were set to exactly the same parameters, and running the same exact apps and background services. To achieve this, I simply ran all my other apps at least once.

Although directly after boot I had 108MB's of available RAM, after I engaged the afore mentioned apps, I was back down to the regular 59MB of FREE RAM, which is exactly on par with miniCM7 on ADW EX, with Xiaa, browser, and g+ engaged.

So, does the new version by B.Jay and eagleeyetom live up to the hype? No, not really, but, that's what hype is for! Overall, though, Version023(b) is a very smooth and solid ROM, much smoother then most other ROMs for X8. Of course Fede's LauncherPro is a matter of taste. If you prefer ADW EX, as I do, or any other launcher, just install your baby, set it as your primary, go into Settings/RunningServices, click to select BackgroundServices, find and clear LauncherPro, and you're good to go!

The included ICS theme by AChep is very nice indeed, and I would recommend flashing the new GDX just for the theme itself!

Some of you might complain about the, now traditional, developers' names on the lock screen, but, don't fret and ask for their removal! Instead just download and use WidgetLocker.

Overall, the 23rd installment of GingerDX, now developed by B.Jay and eagleeyetom, is a hole in one...as long you're OC'ing, using a2sd, and at least Swapper2!​

PLEASE POST Your COMMENTs PERTAINING TO YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEW GingerDXv023(b)! IF YOU HAD PROBLEMS or BUGS TO WHICH YOU FOUND SOLUTIONS TO, PLEASE DESCRIBE THEM

HERE!
[XPERIA X8 General] zhuoxian:
I see that,3Dscore is too low
[XPERIA X8 General] elderduke:
yes

Hmm… well, what did you expect, Samsung SII score?

The benchmark tells the whole story. Or does it…

PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT THE ARTICLE! LEAVE ONLY COMMENTS AND PHOTOS, not questions, PERTAINING TO YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEW GingerDXv023(b)

What about the 2d score?

I find very annoying in testing GDX 023 to have the same 2d result I got in all CM7 roms, this being around 280. While some other guys posted a total diferent situation (claiming same conditions, thus having stock kernel, unlocked bootloader) and getting 400+ in 2d.

It is funny that in my stock rom, latest su and busybox I get 500+ score in the 2d testing by AnTuTu, I attach screenshots.

It is just the busybox - they had to revert it to a previos vbersion - 1.15.3 I think, while the latest is 1.19.4? or maybe just my device?

STILL , I trust that the future management by Eagleeye and B.Jay will improve this rom to what I expect. I know they are serios in taking this task, and they will do their best.

First screenshot - stock. second GDX.

Cheers
[XPERIA X8 General] Papun:
i dont know why you have a so poor result but look at my result.
[XPERIA X8 General] Triptamine:
I'm loving this Rom! :D

Here's my results at Antutu...

[XPERIA X8 General] Triptamine:

[XPERIA X8 General] thanhhungtn1:
For me, the score of this rom is not as good as some other roms. But when I use this rom. It make me feel better and better

Thether wifi and multitouch on X8.

Hi guys, (sorry for my english) I've just load GingerDX v23 over my Floyo rel.

It seems work fine, but no multitouch nor Wifi Thether work.

Does it probably depend on kernel? (2.6.29SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1)

I think I've to load "update_GingerDX-Alfs-addon.zip" with CWM recovery.

Is it wright? menu: "apply update from sdcard"?

Thanks a lot!
[XPERIA X8 General] lozzyl:
No...if your are using stock kernel (2.6.29SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1) .. then you just need to flash the stock addons.zip from cwm recovery...

That contains the modules for (fake)multitouch ...

and i am not sure about the wifi tether if the addons contains it or not ...coz i am on alfs kernel ...and i got a different addon ...and almost everything is ok with Alfs v08+GDX v23 ...

:)

BTW: stock kernel users should flash GDX v23b ... or else you might have a soft brick because of the busybox update...

LOL WAT.

The Rom is awesome.

Smooth and works nice.

I got a score of 1400 on the bench.

Still its awesome.

I dont play games really.

And surfin the web is fine..
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
my opinion

I was running gingerdx v20 until the other day when the launcher i had set as default started fc-ing and i couldn't get to settings or do anything and didn't have a recent back-up (the "newest" one was from october) so i went on-line and downloaded v23b, flashed modules, full-wiped as i always do after updating or flashing a rom. And here i am.

Must say that the overall experience is pretty much the same. Antutu,with the same apps as i always used, and wi-fi always on (i sometimes forget to turn it off) gives the same "1600 something" result. The 2d result is bigger but the overall result is the same...mmm...that means that somewhere something's not as it used to be...right?

Anywayz, not complaining. Its perfect for every day use. And i must say that is the only one i'll use on a daily basis.

Another thing...battery (wierd) issue that i never experienced before: when it reboots it loses more juice that it did before performing the same task....like, twice as much, 'though i've been assured by the devs that it's perfectly normal...well...i guess.

Anyways. My review is this:

Some good things:

-like, finally being able to change the operator name in the dropdown notification

-mm...it stayed at the same performance level (which is really good considering it brought some new things)

What i didn't like:

-the new animation...it lags, sometimes it doesn't even show...didn't have this problem on v20 with a few more apps installed (and running)

Overall it's a great rom.I couldn't think of a real reason for changing it. Better than most stock roms you can find out there done by "professionals" or people actually making a revenue out of it, i mean, getting paid for it...

and i must say THANK YOU to the devlopers, old and new, of this great rom. :)

Hope it Works..:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
did you properly set up the device? i think these are the exact steps you should follow, flash gingerdx again, full wype, install modules then, after boot, set up properly the device with a google account. If you don't set up the google account there will be no market, thus, no google apps, or apps of any kind not included in the rom. And this rom is one of the lightest there are out there, and it doesn't come with all that bundled apps...
[XPERIA X8 General] miguelillo42:

I will try to manually install the applications.

Sorry,but:

Themes

NOTE: We are not responsible for system instabilities caused by themes

The formerly included theme was A-Theme Lite by AChep.

GingerDX natively supports T-Mobile themes. You can find other themes in the list of available T-Mobile themes in XDA Android's theme sticky.

Download the theme of your choice onto your phone and use Theme Chooser (included in GingerDX) to select theme."

Theme chooser is in included in GingerDX v.023b.

The problem is that don't open the app...

can you help me?

Thaks! (sorry for my English)

"
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
Mmm...no, it's not. I had to install the "a-theme.apk" so i could set/change the theme, couldn't find it on the phone after updating to v23b.

As i said before, it's simple and...just do it if you can't find a-theme installed, ok?

I did exactly like that cause i'm used to sonny sekhon ics theme...i'm actually found of it :)

Hope this helps.

UPDATE:

Hey, i'm attaching the app for you :)
[XPERIA X8 General] miguelillo42:
Thanks you very much!!! you're very kind!

But, I installed A-Theme, but I'm still the same, nothing has changed...

The app does not appear on the desktop.

Thanks you very much, again xD. To see if we can solve. ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
Then most certainly you have to flash ginger dx again the right way.

-flash ginger

-then flash modules

-full wipe

-then set up phone with a google account

-then go to setting and check allow installation of app from unknown sources

-install again a-theme-lite.apk then reboot

With all the problems you are having it would re-flash the whole rom again, or go back to the last stable version i used.

Very important: FULL WIPE after flashing. I always get force crashes, bootloops, anomalies, etc if i don't full wipe.

If this doesn't work, then let's hope someone more advised will be eager to help.

Good luck!
[XPERIA X8 General] miguelillo42:
Ok, thanks, but, I lose applications after flash?

So sometimes was still taking applications after flash

A greeting! ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
yes, after you full wipe you do

lose all data

(apps, contacts, sms)

stored on phones memory

(not on the sd-card). You could download titanium back-up from the market and make a back-up of all the apps you don't want to download again.

Sorry, but i think this is your only chance to get a full working phone -> flash again the right way.

And

read carefully

and follow the guide exactly

as it is written in the first post on gingerDX and it will all work out fine.

Good luck!
[XPERIA X8 General] miguelillo42:
Full wipe/factory reset: before or after (flash rom)? Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
ahmm...ok, gonna' make it as simple as i can

Follow these exact steps:

-make whatever back-up you can (contacts, apps, etc)

-download ginger dx for your kernel and save it on your sd card (phone)

-download modules for your kernel and save them to your sd card (phone)

-enter CWM and flash in this order-> 1.

gingerdx

-> 2.

modules

-after flashing, from CWM make a full wipe (factory reset)

-reboot

-download a-theme-lite.apk from b.jay's mediafire folder and save it to your sd

-in settings go to applications -> development -> and check unknown sources

-install a-theme-lite.apk

if you have any other question, we should continue this on PM so we don't flood this thread with this, ok?

good luck

[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
Quick Yes or No question(s):

Can i safely delete these apps from gingerdx v23b?

1.root browser?

2.launcher pro?

3.terminal?

4.music (play version one)?

In case your wondering why, here is why:

1.root browser is a lot slower than root explorer

2.i'm not using launcher pro since ginger dx v19

3.never used terminal

4.don't like play music for the lack of some options, and besides that, it's always running in the background using up memory and i'm never using it.

ps: i did some research and

vaguely

i found that it's ok to delete some...actually the only info about deleting i found about dsp manager which i'm always deleting after flashing the rom, but nothing specific about the apps i mentioned...and i want to be sure i'm not doing something stupid :)

thanks ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] elderduke:
dada nici o problema.

Yes is quite safe.

the only app. that cause trouble removing are the Google ones.

General Idea: clean ROM by pfonk has only the minimum app. required. Check that one.

Stima,

Cheers,
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
Multumesc ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] shineworld:
Ciao scufita.rosie,

Yes you can delete the apps and substitute with others.

I've already removed DSP Manager, Launcher Pro, Music Player etc.

I'm used to simply rename the system/app from xxx.apk to xxx.ap_ so using "Root Browser" so it's very simple to recover them.

Take care: before to remove Launcher pro you must have already installed a substitute (like Go Launcher Ex), same for music (I love PowerAmp).

With "System Tune Pro" move an application from /app to system/app or remove a system/app itself is a very simple operation, but you can do same thing using any root enabled file manager like File Expert (last version have root access only for pay version).
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
I've already removed all the unnecessary apps. I used root explorer and removed the apps i didn't want from system/app then removed the respective cache file from cache/dalvik and it works perfectly. I have around 40/50mb free memory in about this phone and in app/running services around 80 :D just what i wanted :)

Grazie! :)

EDIT:

for everyone who mite be interested. As i said above, i've deleted some system apps that for me where useless. Following advice i got in this post, and googleing a bit about safe to remove system apps.

I deleted: play music app, terminal app, root browser, launcher pro (install a launcher before removing the system one)from system/app using root explorer, then i deleted the cache file from cache/dalvik.

Before doing this it used to show around 20/maximum 30mb in about phone @memory. Now i get to a minimum 40 and ranging to about 60mb without killing anything. Attaching screenz to prove it :)

I am using instead of some of those apps: sslauncher, root explorer. The overall performance has improved, everything runs smoother.

There can also be deleted (i think safely-but need confirmation): sound recorder, radio.fm, voice dialer, voice search. But those apps aren't always running in the background like play music did, so i didn't remove them.

And last but not least, best gingerdx to date (for me at least), so Big thanks to the developers! :)
[XPERIA X8 General] WhatWhatInTheButt:
I don't know if you guys are using

Swapper2

, but, if you're not, then try it. It's like virtual RAM on a PC. Been using it for a while now on various ROM's, and it really makes everything smoother, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DELETE ANY APPs to free RAM, unless you just don't want them.

+ No need to make a partition. Just go to settings, set 'Swap Size' to 256MB, 'Swappiness' to 10, turn ON, restart your X8, and after restart go to your TerminalEmulator app and type 'free'. If you did everything correctly, then a line will show telling you that your SWAP size is over 300MB, with xxMB used, and xxxMB free.

- You have TURN OFF Swapper2 in order to plug your phone to your PC. In some ROM's this will not work, and will reboot your phone every time you try connecting your X8 to the PC. In that case, you'll have to turn off your X8, and take out your SD card and place it in an

adapter

compatible with your PC card reader.
