First of all, thank you so much for all those fast answers! Thank you!!

#2

She mainly wants better reaction/performance but an upgrade to Gingerbread or ICS would be great as well. I don't know if it would be good for the performance or not tho.

Thanks, I think I will check out Gingerdx, isdx and miniCM9. I think I'll overclock abit, but I still want it to be 100% stable, how much can I overclock, without destroying the battery life and making it unstable?

#3

Thanks for your opinion, will take it into account.

#4

Uhm, #2 mentioned isdx, what do you say about that?

#5

Hah! yeah probably :D

afaik ICS has beautiful icons, but maybe gingerdx has as well? :D

As mentioned, I'd like to overclock abit to increase the performance, so I bet a custom kernel would be good. What would recommend?

and thanks for the quick tutorial, I do know how to root'n'flash tho, since I've done it a ton of time on several other devices :D

#6

Sorry, I tried to make a quick search in the x8 forums, but I couldnt find a thread about recommended roms for girls :D

Most ppl recommend GingerDX, so I will probably check that out as well as MiniCM9, since ICS would perhaps be great (If it is stable tho)

She isnt going to play games I can tell for sure, so 3d score doesnt matter I guess. But thanks, will check it out, since it is a girl-made ROM :D

Amazing fast answers, thanks man! I appreciate any feedback <3

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
ok, first of all take out the battery andd look at the back sticker on the phone(on the phone!!!!!!!!), there will be a number like this 10wxx, 11wxx or 12wxx if it is 11w29+ just forget about unlocking bootloader,so you can not flash custom kernel, if it is 11w29- then look this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24630104&postcount=2 there you will find the links for guides about unlocking bootloader.

have fun!

If you unlock your bootloader and install a custom kernel (Alfs v8a CM7) I'd try GingerZaraki..

Best rom on this forum IMO..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rallerbabz:
It says 11w19, so that's great :)

With gingerDX, which is the rom I will install, I've decided, what kernel would you recommend then?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010matej:
Alfs because team GDX making Alfs kernel too!

Kuyadroid is most stable rom,its on stock kernel so you dont need to unlock bootloader !! Its so easy to installing,just need rooted and xrecovery !!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rallerbabz:
Thanks, I think I have decided to go for GDX with alfs then :) more opinions are welcomed! :)

Okay, I have a few final questions.

The script to root x8 require ADB, so I need to install that again (just reinstalled windows), was so complicated.

Isnt SuperOneClick easier? ( This method -> http://www.xperia-x8.com/tutorial-how-to-root-sony-ericsson-xperia-x8/ )

How much is completely SAFE to overclock the x8 with alfs kernel and GDX rom?

Seems like I can't unlock the bootloader, following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693308

I've done everything correct I guess, tried 2 times and at the end I still get a "R" letter instead of "r". What to do?

Also, is it possible to extract sms's and contact information from a CWM backup with titanium backup and restore it without encountering any issues?

EDIT: Seems like I've bricked the phone some kind..When I start it, it hang at "Sony Ericsson" and I can't enter CWM recovery..what to do? :S

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rallerbabz:
Okay okay - now I got my bootloader unlocked with another guide. I'm on GingerDX and Alfs kernel, however I have a problem, with the WiFi. It says "Error" when I try to turn it on, and then it turn itself off again.

Got it working!

alright then, seems everything is fine!:)

another satisfied customer!lol:laugh::laugh:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rallerbabz:
Yeah :D Well, almost. The wifi seems to act weird still. I found out I somehow flashed the alfs kernel for CM, instead of DX(my bad). But after flashing the DX the error disappeared. but now it just wont connect to any wifi networks. It did in the first hour or so, but now it wont anymore...Kinda weird - I havent done anything but installing apps like facebook, opera etc..Is this a known problem with GingerDX?

No not at all, I am using wifi right now without any problem, I think there is somewhere a wifi fix, search for it.

I did flash the alfgdx kernel as well as the addon.

If you want gingerbread , use Xperience 9

if you want ICS, use MIUI 2.6.2.9 (y)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazerphoenix:
Try this

ok so weirdly enough it seems that your x8 battery won't last more than at most 2 days (with sms and call usage). So try GDX or if her manufacturing date is before 11w29 you can try one of the ROMs requiring custom kernels. If she wants to play HD games then try to OC and use V6 supercharger script by zeppelinrox.

You could tell her to check out lucastan96's tread which compiles (almost) everything for the x8 into one post. He's awesome, try that post.

HTX MIUI, with supercharger and alfs8acm7 kernel

Go for HTX MIUI v1.0.0 nAa/alfs [24/7/2012] GB 2.3.7/CM7 ported to x8,

1. Its stable and visually appealing too.

2. You can use superchager script and make it even more fast.

3. go for Launcher pro launcher, the one that comes with the Rom is not so good.

4. make a folder by the name as 'theme' in Data\system inorder to have the themes working, but beware while using themes you dont apply the lockscreen that comes with the theme because they are created for HDPI phones and our X8 is a MDPI phone.

Hey people,

Before I went out and bought a car charger and second wall charger, I was wondering if you guys knew what the fastest ones were. I was using my friends car charger the other day and it literally did almost nothing for 20 minutes. The battery went up 1% every 15-20 minutes or so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 18th.abn:
It's probably an issue with the cars 12v port, not the charger itself. No matter what your phone should charge around 3.7v. If you plug in a charger that has a higher output to try and speed charge it the phone and the battery have built in protection to keep it from charging above the recommended 3.7v. So just buy a reliable cellphone charger and don't fall for speedcharging gimmicks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] advancedbasic:
I remember back when the iPad first came out there was a rumor that using an iPad charger to charge an iPhone would charge it faster, but the device only pulls what it needs (if it's designed well). I believe charging a device at a lower voltage may make it charge slower, but you can never speed it up unless the battery specifically possesses control circutry to do so. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger#Fast.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ferraritm:
Hello,

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800, two weeks ago. The P6800 has multi CSC, initially was shown as 'SIN', I think is tied to the local service provider. It is still running on Honeycomb 3.2, and NOT Root.

There's one incident that I tried to update the firmware to the Austria ICS released, but it was failed and not a:confused:ble to get proceed further or return, it was like 'bricked'.

I sent the P6800 to Samsung Service Center, and they claimed that they have replaced the 'motherboard' for me. However, I did not realize after a few days later, I realized that the 'Serial number' on my P6800/Settings/Above device/Status, is showing as all '000000000000', but IMEI is still the same. I went back to Samsung Service Center and asked them, and they said due to the changed of motherboard, and currently they do not have the facilities to update the Serial number, but they said it will not affect anything, so long as the sticker behind the tablet shows it serial number and IMEI will still served as under warranty.

My P6800 now the CSC-code has changed to 'XSP', which no longer tied to the branded firmware, but when I tried to connect it to the computer with KIES, it stated that my P6800 will not be able to update any future firmware via Samsung KIES. I don't feel good and feeling something and somewhere in my P6800 is not running properly. Beside, I also wondering whether Samsung really changed the motherboard as the transparency sticker behind my P6800 is not been changed or moved, wondering how they replaced the motherboard?

I would like to check whether is there any ways to manually update or input the Serial number back into the P6800 to let it shows under the Settings/About device/Status?

As I wanted to try again to update my P6800 to the latest ICS 4.04 firmware released, but afraid the Serial number issue will fail during the manual update of the ICS 4.04 firmware.

My P6800 and myself are from Singapore.

Please kindly assist and advise anyways to input the Serial number back into my P6800.

Millions of thanks.

I have same issue , i received my Tablet from Samsung service center after motherboard replacement and discovered serial number are all 0's , Does that has any impact fir use of any tablet functions or any application to be installed ? Is there's anyway to edit it manually ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] amroman:
Hello ferraritm

I went to my Samsung Service center and they advised me same answer you have got , but they confirmed to me this will not cause any issues or conflicts

I installed Official ICS ROM and new JB Custom ROM with no problems at all

I opened also a ticket online with Samsung support , and they replied me that this serial number is related to software not to Hardware , and it may change if you install new ROMs , also they confirmed to me that this will not cause any issues or conflicts with software or Hardware

For me when i installed new JB custom ROM and i can see now new Serial number !

Bgrds , Amr

I was just wondering which ICS rom has the best battery life without sacrificing performance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
It all depends. You could always flash slesepic's kernel. Set the governor on conservitive. He's put alotta work into the battery saving part. Or you could flash agats kernel and undervolt by -50mV and set governor to smartassv2. Those can be flashed on any TW based roms.

I personally use MIUI http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771482 and if you follow their instructions in order to get good battery life, I personally think it has a very good lifespan to it. Although a few people are having battery issues with it, I personally am getting some very good life out of it. If you do flash it, make sure to read this post for your flashing directions, as if you flash it according to the way the developer says to, you get a bunch of Force-Close messages and nothing works.

Link to directly download the 2.6.8 version mentioned: http://roms.miui.us/e4gt/MIUI.us_epic4gtouch_2.6.8.zip (I would recommend to follow through and update to the latest one, like the quote says, as this version seems very buggy to me. Also after flashing this, I believe that its important to let it boot up completely before continuing.)

I am not responsible if any of my or anyone else's instructions, directions, and/or suggestions cause any damage to your device, including but not limited to damage that renders your device unusable.

Prefer OEM accessories over third party any day but lately a lot of them have been pretty lame (Apple's offerings included)... don't even start with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

The POGO dock looks real sleek... $50 is a bit high but I would still probably buy this. Thank you ASUS for coming through with these accessories and hey we even got street dates!

No speakers on the dock, so it's a fifty dollar piece of angled plastic? For 20 I might buy this, without speakers it seems kinda.....bleh. I guess I will have to wait for some aftermarket accessories. Anyone know of any different docks, other than the backward facing dock and the Gear 4 dock?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] BuddhaTB:
Dock does look nice, but bit overpriced for just a "stand".

I really hope that premium cover has the smart function built into it or else it is just as worthless as the travel cover.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] alexjzim:
does anyone know if the dock has mhl support?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ejkeebler:
if the travel cover = the cover on the nexus site, no thanks, if it = the cover on the nexus site + smart feature, maybe, if it = the cover on the site + smart cover + some sort of magnetic latch I could be very interested.

the dock would be nice, $50 is a bit steep but really to not have to plug my device in each time, it might be worth it, if they were $25 or $30 I'd probably buy 3....

Hopefully more info comes out about the premium case, looks like what I'm looking for, book style, clips to hold it in, smart cover that can be a stand.

Can't say i'm that hopeful though, looking at the Target Date of the travel cover it was 7/16, so there at least 2 weeks late on that, hopefully someone comes through soon, i've got a sleeve coming just for protection until a nicer case comes out.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Octhar:
The dock is expensive for what little features it offers, personally I probably still will buy one (or a cheaper 3rd part equivalent) to be able to charge the N7 and have an OTG cable plugged in at the same time.

Since the micro-usb port doesn't support MHL it's a very good bet that the dock doesn't either. In that regard I'd wait for the Miracast standard to be finalised, afterwards it should be a simple matter of a software update to the N7 and a HDMI dongle that can be plugged into a TV or monitor.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bazman70:
Landscape

Does the dock support landscape mode for the Launcher? And if it does, why cant landscape mode be enabled manually by those that want it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] LondonLion:
The dock does look good though, maybe it will support it with a 'docking mode'

dock is "meh" for that price for just a stand that uses the POGO pins. drop it to $10 then color me interested. really, its just a piece of plastic with a bit of wiring. very well made plastics, granted, but no internal speaker, no other feature, nothing?

put a USB-OTG in that dock and ill pay that price LOL

premium cover looks nice if it is a smart cover with some kind of magnetic clip so the cover doesnt sway allover the plac.

even the basic plastic cover looks nice.

i was really hoping for a dock with an hdmi out.. the things you could do with a bluetooth game controller and this tablet on an HDTV would be fantastic.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] LouZiffer:
The accessories are probably where ASUS hopes to make some profit on the Nexus 7. They'll be expensive since the tablet is cheap. ASUS isn't making much on the device. They're probably taking a loss outright when factoring in warranty and support costs.

Those are so incredibly unreliable. On the one hand, iSupply is probably just guessing at the bulk pricing Asus is getting. On the other hand, they don't account for R&D and marketing that need to be amortized over the sales, they don't account for shipment costs, the cut that Asus is probably taking (again, they don't work for free), the $25 play store credit, and the actual putting together of the device, among other costs. The cost to make a device is not the sum total of the price of parts.
