[XPERIA X8 Android Development] icefish1412:
Glad to help :)

Btw, any news about rooting the 2.1 yet?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] cowboysmfoo2:

Hello guys can I ask about Flash Player ? I have Android 2.1 but after installing flash player and reboot i still can`t open flash pages in the browser any help ?

Or is anyone try the flash player ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
Currently there is no workaround for flash and android 2.1. Only HTC devices with 2.1 have flash lite 4 but it relies on their firmware and sense ui so it can not be ported to other devices. Only SE can help us by integrating flash lite in 2.1 with next update or giving us update to android 2.2. But i doubt that they will do it.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ker0ltjuh:
flash 10.1 on a 600mhz processor is horrible 0.o flash is even laggy on galaxy s...

why would u want it?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
Well flash lite 4 should work fine on 600MHz. Flash lite 3 works ok on my nokia 5230 and it has 434MHz cpu. I also prefer to have laggy flash instead of having no flash.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] bkugla:
Can you post the Bi4ary files and tell as the procedure.

Tnx.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Alihosny:
x8 2.1 is not yet rooted so root explorer will a work as anyother file manager .
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] leochen679:
Excuse me , could you tell me how to use it ?:)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] qsmyle:
Dont duplicate your questions!

Anyway if you have the chance to modify your device, you will able to turn it back and ensure your garancy in this way. That is up to U.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kirokiroshin:
sorry for duplicating it... so that means the warranty will be void if i didn't turn it back?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] leochen679:
The SI number can't be changed , you can change the CDA code
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isaac12:
if I change the CDA code. come on the warranty?:confused::confused: please answer. thanks
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] leochen679:
No , if you change it , the regional versions of the phone is changed too , and the warranty won't be work .

(My English is very poor , maybe there are some grammatical errors:p)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isaac12:
Is it possible to determine the CDA originally? has anybody out there from the Xperia x8 Slovak T-Mobile from androidom 1.6? I need CDA code. sorry my english is poor

Anyone has this problem ?

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
When i change this can my phone brick and my phone is sim locked when i change this will need to buy new sim card.

Please answer.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] maciupeq:
Thanks Pavel, all works correct

WPA2 works too :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
Sim card lock is different thing from firmware branding. Even if you debrand and update to 2.1 your phone should still work correctly with your sim card.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] paradise_human:
My problem was solved .

Anyone has any news about rooting the phone ?

I need to root it because I want to copy some fonts and .lib files for reading my native language letters.

Still no update 2.1 for Germany o2

There is still no update for Germany o2 clients...

BTW o2 just lied about running system on X8. As I bought it the seller told me it has 2.1 on it. At home I realized it is 1.6... He told me then "It will be updated in just 2 weeks". Well I'm waiting already 1.5 months...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] david4ie:

Hi all,

Just wanted to confirm that it worked perfectly for me, I used the first code in the list and no limitations or language differences.

I live in Belgium and there was still no news on the update. (GF also has the X8, hers is stock and still 1.6)

Took some time to get it rooted (trial & error) but in the end superoneclick 1.5 worked best. (the one in attachment). Now doing some experimenting with rooting the 2.1 on X8.

good luck to all

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the original exploit and gui, much appreciated.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Acc3ss:
Who needs an 2.1 Update without root.

My X8 without root is like a useless brick for me, half of my apps wont work, i have 2 use ****ing Timescape, boring systemfont,no wallpapers, etc pp

rooted 1.6 is WAY better than nonrooted 2.1.

Hope for an exploit in next few days, if not, i will have an new htc under my christmess tree ;D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] johnwoon:
Excuse me....

hmm..im new here ..nice to meet you guyz

i have a problem after updated my x8 to 2.1...

my phone have no sound on photo shooting(the"Kacha"sound),video recording(the "Duu" sound) and touch screen sound

i double checked and comfirmed that it is not in silent mode...and the setting are alright....anyone facing this problem too?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
No one is forcing you to use Timescape. And.. Well, I'm 100% sure you don't need root to get wallpapers. I am managing fine without root. There are alternatives to almost anything that requires root.

1.6 was sluggish and ugly. 2.1 is amazing.

Just my opinion.

Edit:

Download a free app called "Volume Control" by 'CoreCode' from them market. I think it still works on 2.1. It shows you volume settings that are normally hidden. See if anything turned all the way down, and try turning it up, see if that fixes your issue.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Acc3ss:
Oh yes, SE forces me to use Timescape. I don't mean only the homescreen ;D

Acutally there is no Way to kill Timescape without Root.

wallpapers, yes, idk why I wrote that xD I think i meant other themes and not wallpapers^^

I need a clearly and personal design on my phone... And it's impossible for me without root cause i cant mod systemfonts, many widgets I need and so on.

No Screenshots, no try aorund with sys files.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] johnwoon:
hey thanks man,it's really work!

:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] KINGMANI:
You can make Screenshots with MyPhoneExplorer on 2.1 i do it do ;)

OFF

Here is the solution to root your Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 with Android 2.1 and above:

1.) Grab your white or black colored X8 and stand up.

2.) Your X8 on your left hand, and you look for a vase or bucket filled with water and grab with your right hand.

3.) You also need a root capable tool, place a digger onto your back.

4.) Find some Android green place in your garden. If you don't have one, visit your grandmother or the dark forest.

5.) Release your weapons and start to dig. Stop the digging, when you reached one foot deep.

6.) Place your X8 and ground the hole.

7.) Water the plant and wait.

8.) Wait a little more

9.) Groom your head

10.) Look up and notice the bear comming.

11.) #@lfdˇ^˘°°|#|

??.) Your phone is rooted. Have fun!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
I'm stuck on step 2, there is no bucket or vase here. WHAT DO I DO I DESPERATELY NEED ROOT!

Edit: NVM this worked.

Steps

1. Root your phone.

I really, REALLY don't see how you are being forced to use Timescape. I haven't even used it yet on 2.1. Do you mean the overall design of the phone? In that case, .
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] qsmyle:
Than keep a huge gulp of water in your mouth till you get the next several step, and hope the best.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Acc3ss:
Exactly that. Whole Android interface is ****ed up by that bull****.

A friend of mine with a Desire asked me: "wtf u have such an crappy theme on ur phone? timescape -.-"

And i don't like blue.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Zmajko:
I have rooted X8, change "ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/E15i_XXXX-XXXX/sonyEricssonE15i/ and ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX" on russian, rebooted phone, connected it to PC via PC Companion and it said that I have the latest software, SEUS has stoped on loading screen where I should connect my phone (at time when I have to connect it and holding "Back" (I've waited more than 1 minute)). And in phone options on software update is said that new software is available and that I have to connect my phone on PC. I don't get whats the problem so I'm asking you for help. Help?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mariolouis:
I think what he meant was that although you are not using it, timescape processes still runs in background.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
But...

That is not Timescape. Timescape is that ****ty 3D thing that shows facebook statuses, missed calls, messages etc. What you mean is the user interface, friend. ;P

The theme is actually quite nice, in my opinion. Looking at a normal, non-branded Android OS, it is boring as bat ****. All the menu's are black and orange. Having a blue background is a pleasent change.

Honestly, compare the two:

Xperia

Google

If you don't like it, you really should not have gotton this phone. There a plenty of others that would suit your taste.

Edit:

What? Since when? D:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] wireless09:
Try to reinstall PC Companion.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] bkugla:
I updated to 2.1 and when i connect to my wifi connection i get connected. but after 2 minutes i get disconnected. then it connects again. then it disconnects again. and it does this all the time.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] d3xtr0:
Initially didn't work but when I boot the phone holding home and back keys SEUS start searching and found out the update.

Thanks a lot m8!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] d3xtr0:
Zmajko, try this after make change of SI number: turn off your phone, connect it via usb and hold home and back key, windows should install a few drivers, after that open SEUS while holding both key.. let SEUS make what have to do. You should get a screen saying that we have an update and don't turn your phone off..

give feedback ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Acc3ss:
Timescape isn't only the app timescape. There a many other things binded to it and its the biggest bull**** I've ever seen.

If u kill the complete Timescape, ur Phone will not run anymore.

I don't like that crappy blue design, it looks like vista -.-

I never wanted that phone. O2 gave it to me cause my old phone (tattoo) wasn't available at that moment anymore (warranty).
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] krisvan:
tell me where to download it?

Please.... :-)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] IFLPI:

Updated in Spanish

Hi, first sorry about my english:

I updated my Xperia 8 and now i'm running Android 2.1, and I have a small problem when the screen lock's and I try to unlock with the menu button (as usually in 1.6) and it does not respond to the first time, I have to press it repeatedly or two times the center button, or press the lock button on top and the bar to slide and unlock appears, this happen to you? is not a hardware problem.

Thank's
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
With 1.6 you need to press the menu button (left) to lit the screen and unlock. With the 2.1 update this seem to be changed and now you should use the home button (middle) to do it. At least this is the behavior that i see with mine and my father's X8.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] acenzz:
hello guyzz,greetings from greece.. i updated my x8 entering the SE site,quite easily..same thing happened here..i can no longer unlock my phone using the left key..it's either the top lock key or the middle key.. have a question too..left ot the signal sign and the battery sign,i have a "H" with 2 arrows.. what thiw side stands for??
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] neptun2:
H means HSDPA. It is equivalent of 3G on 1.6 firmware.

Now it tells me its up to date, even with the new cust nos. I changed them to the second choice. Same thing. My phone is up to date with 1.6.

Ahhh - any ideas ?

OK tried it all again and used the Russian custome codes. It worked. thanks for your hard work.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] PauloJ5:

It is very easy to install root explorer. Download the com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer.v2.12.2.apk file frm the attachment in first post, and copy it to your SD card. After this install any file manager from the android market on your phone, start the file manager, navigate to the folder on your SD card where the com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer.v2.12.2.apk is and click on it. Android will install it.

What region does the other two codes correspond to: 1242-7327 and 1236-9291? And what languages do they contain?

Is there a generic nordic cust with 2.1 available? Even though the russian one contains my language I would like to have a Nordic customization.

I think I have some kind of Generic World, but still havn't received the update

1242-1277_R2A

EDIT: Apparently, 1242-7327 is nordic. According to this
