I also have the xt800 running stock 2.1 but would really like to install custom rom

Any help from out there please?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanhawthorne:
Alternative ROMs for xt800

Hi there,

I really would like to find a custom ROM for the xt800 (currently running 2.1), so that I can upgrade to at least Froyo, which I hope has better Microsoft exchange integration (I know, its a terrible reason). It is a dual SIM CDMA EVDO and GSM device.

I have rooted the device using Androot, which worked well (though I did have to press root twice). ROM manager is not available in the market, which makes me think that it won't work with my device. Is there an alternative to ROM manager / clockworkmod for the xt800, that I could use to search for and install ROMs?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ryan

Use the above link

MAKE PROPER BACK UP!

i have bricked my phone at first tried again it worked :D

Use titanium back-up to check if a2sd has been enabled.

Your internal may still appear full after you apply the script since it creates a fail-safe in the int memory you may delete the not so imp apps..

And Be sure to thank the dev who made it if it works for you. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] a6428493:
but x8 do not have 2.1
[XPERIA X8 General] muzik_demon:
It doesnt matter it still works
[XPERIA X8 General] a6428493:
ok i succeed

but how to take the app form sd to phone
[XPERIA X8 General] muzik_demon:
You cant,since its a script and not the actual thing we cannot select which apps would stay in sd and which would stay in the internal memory.

All the apps are loaded to sd card by default.

It doesnt make much of a diff cause even if you remove the sd card there is a fail-safe.

the apps are located at: system/sd/apps
[XPERIA X8 General] a6428493:
thank you
[XPERIA X8 General] a6428493:
why my x8 ofen restrat agian and agian after app2sd . i have to US it . help me:p
[XPERIA X8 General] muzik_demon:
Its not turning on? Then its stuck in infinite boot loop..

Sometimes it takes 3 reboots to start the phone but the phone starts.

Try to remove sd card then start the phone. Then insert the sd card.Then you can use the script again to uninstall app2sd...then you can reformat the ext2 partition and try to app2sd again or leave the phone if ur scared

If it doesn't your only option is to restore using SEUS
[XPERIA X8 General] a6428493:
Ok i do not app2sd now .because it often restrat i think the problem maybe 1.6 . do you now when it update to 2.1. Somebody say 2.1 will come before 12.15 . it is right (i keep all app in my sdcard . using them after updata 2.1 ;) )
[XPERIA X8 General] muzik_demon:
No idea everyone waiting for the update...best guess would be first week of dec.

If you remove sd card before launch or reflash you won't have app2sd
[XPERIA X8 General] Bo0mer:
Now when 2.1 update is here, can i still app2sd on my xperia x8 with 2.1???
[XPERIA X8 General] muzik_demon:
X8 on 2.1 has not been rooted yet.

Once it is rooted it should be a simple task of running the script again..
[XPERIA X8 General] kuttyshal:
Can any one post X8 User review.
[XPERIA X8 General] step0011:
the X8 is a good little basic android phone, dose everything I require it to do :) scrapped alot of the sony ericsson guff though (now using adw launcher, mixzing (music player) and the essential task manager!) just with these minor tweaks i've got it performing relativly well, battery is adaquote giving you a good day - 2 days moderate use. Screen is clear and ledgable, even outside! google navagation runs smooth with rapid GPS lock! camera is adaquote, it is capable of playing Raging thunder 2 (3d racing game)... speaker is loud and clear...

here's quadrant result :)

Anything else... just ask :)
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
Basic Android phone. Runs smooth. Battery will only last you about a day, don't know how the above user managed to get it to run for two days. Screen is indeed clear, but not outside, even on full brightness. Again, dunno where the above user is getting this.

Camera is useless while taking inside snaps, but outside the camera is fine. Don't expect anything amazing.

Speaker is not as clear as the above user makes it out to be. Putting a finger over the speaker really distorts the sound, unlike other phones I have used that don't affect the sound at all.

Overall, a really decent phone. ;D

IMO the X10i should be above the X8.

Also note, this phone will be fawking fantastic once the 2.1 update comes through.
[XPERIA X8 General] Maze_fr:
I bought X8 because :

I have SE phones since it was only Sony phones : I like quality of the products.

It was the cheapest smartphone (with some special offers, it made it free).

I need to tether sometimes for my EeePC.

I wanted to change my subscription to my provider and it appeared to be cheaper to take a subscription with a smartphone than with a classic phone...

I want Android for my smartphone.

So X8 has all I need :

I can do phone calls (when a phone begin to look like more to a PC than to a phone, it's important to say it).

I have internet (didn't tested Barnacle yet, but I should do it this week end)

Once rooted (was easier to do under Linux than under Windows...), I could delete all useless thing to a phone (games, stupid facebook, twitter, SE timescape, etc)

I can use my old "phone bag" with it because it is not too big (on the contrary to most other smartphones)

GPS is a good thing as i'm always walking around cities I don't know.

The screen is good, phone is not that slow (excepted first letters when using kb, like said somewhere else), easy to use, good sound quality.

As I don't use phone much (all day time on a PC with internet...), my battery isn't empty after 2 days, so yes it's possible to make it last more than 2 days ;)

The only "not good" thing I can notice "in the bundle" is the original browser that has some difficulties to detect the good place I point my finger on.

EDIT : I don't feel the need to do a new post to answer to account1 (else this topic would be a mess) so I do it by editing : Barnacle is for tether, but I didn't try it yet. I think I'll do a post to explain all the things I had to do on my X8 as explainations are spread around the forum in pieces you have to gather to manage to do something (example : to root the X8 when you use Linux)
[XPERIA X8 General] account1:
nice review!

how do you tether internet connection? please explain

info:

managed to run 4 days now without charging it and battery still at 25% !!

i'm very pleased with it's battery life
[XPERIA X8 General] step0011:
@ a-k-t-w, ofc screen is going to be a bit reflective in daylight, but in my past experience with touchscreen devices, the X8 is at least legible and usable in day light... but it's no Galaxy S. Now the battery life, deliberately chose the term "moderate use" to justify stating that I can get 1 - 2 days usage :) this can change from region to region plus the 100 other factors to be taken into consideration IE signal strength, number of masts in the area, network traffic, what services are running in the background ect, but 24 - 48 hours is reachable without too much hastle for myself on a standard day to day usage. Speaker, personally, I do not go around using the loudspeaker too often, but when I do, I don't have a habit of sticking my finger over the speaker anyhoo but I will go to the extent of saying it's louder and clearer than a Galaxy S's loudspeaker! :P Finally the quadrant score, even scoring close to the X10i is a bit of a surprise to me too, never mind marginally whooping it! :P
[XPERIA X8 General] sig.alleh:
Hi all!

Thank you so much for the reviews. Well, i was with some doubts about this recent model. Ultimately, i've experimented the HTC Magic, that is awesome... my current handset is Nokia 5310, so I think it's time to upgrade it.

Do this smartphone is a good purchase ? Thats only 100 euros (With Vodafone Club Viva points, in Portugal...). Relating with some other mid ended handsets, is it good?

Thanks, and sorry my bad english...
[XPERIA X8 General] step0011:
it's all down to taste :) I would say the phone is a good buy, and with eclaré update rolling out soon, it should be an amazing phone! I cant say it will be a better or worse buy than the magic, but its tonnes better than the low end symbian phones that nokia have been spewing out :P
[XPERIA X8 General] sig.alleh:
Thanks.

I agree with you. The low and mid ended sybians (like 5800 XpressMusic) are more expensive, and nothing special.

1. Battery last for 2 days for usuallu usage. (x10 only 1 day)

2. Faster than x10 mini/pro. (in other forum someone protest that x10 is slower. But I confirm x10 is faster. But x10 mini/pro is slower)

3. Almost can do all my needs and jobs.

4. Bigger screen than x10 mini/pro.

5. Lighter and easy carry. (good for your secondary phone)

6. Sound is louder and clearer than x10. (x10 mini/pro is clearer. More beautiful for music experience)

7. Camera is bad. (actually not so bad for just casual usage,like mms or chat usage)

8. Etc. (waiting for other experts to add)

These are all I know for now.

[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
HAHA, not a chance. Same processor + smaller screen/resolution = faster rendering time. The X10 Mini is without a doubt faster than the X8.

Can't argue with you there... But, putting your hand over the loud speaker is pretty much unavoidable. ;P Just sayin'.
[XPERIA X8 General] gunawan-1:
May be all depend to what we experience and need. X10i is the best. X8 is not bad. X10 mini/pro is not so good.

[XPERIA X8 General] gunawan-1:
I have three kinds of these phone. I just know what I experience. Although x8 still 1.6 but it still faster. I cannot explain why. But what i experience is fact just like that. The only slower loading is when I try to connect to my wifi. But other than that is fastervthan x10 mini. But absolutely slower than x10i. No doubt

Gunawan-GN Multimedia-X10i
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
I have compared both phones first hand. I'm telling you, the X10 mini is faster.

Grab your X10 mini, install ADW on it. Now install ADW on your X8. Open up the app drawer. Notice the X8 lags a bit, whilst the X10 mini smoothly slides in.

...Or do you mean it is faster in another way?
[XPERIA X8 General] vippie:
The X8 is way more responsive on 1.6 compared to the X10 mini pro. 2.1 did improve the performance of the mini though. My X8 is still on 1.6, can't compare the two on 2.1 yet.
[XPERIA X8 General] gunawan-1:
I never use adw. I am telling while x10 mini pro still in 1.6 because my x8 still 1.6. When I click on some menu, x8 loads faster than x10 mini pro. Except connect wifi.x8 takes more time till connected. But loads menu faster. Even start up time is faster. But I don,t like the screen guard sticker. My finger can not slide the screen smoothly.

Gunawan-GN Multimedia-X10i
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
Update your X8 to 2.1 then, it'll blow your mind, it is crazy fast.

Just got the extended battery for the Droid 2 from Verizon store today and it works well with my Droid 1. Unfortunately my case won't work with the extended battery cover so I ended up having to leave the back cover off in order to fit it into it.

I am going to be testing the battery life with this new battery and it looks to be rather awesome in terms of not having to recharge the phone during the middle of the day or end of night before I get home.

High recommend so far. Will post updates more later on. ;)

Attempting to run VISIONary on unrooted FRG83D has no effect besides bogging down the UI. I let it sit for quite a while, then rebooted and nothing has changed.

Bummer. Sometimes I like running a rooted, stock OS rather than using a ROM.

Why do they do this?

(that's a rhetorical question)

And do I have to downgrade back to FRG33 then back up to FRG83 before flashing a ROM now, or can I just install the recovery and flash as usual?

(I know there are no questions allowed here, but I thought it would better to have one post instead of causing more clutter by creating a second, related post in another forum)

how do you think you can flash a recovery without root? That is, unless you have an unlocked bootloader...

I do.

I'm not a pro at all. I consider the pros to be the ones who spend a seemingly incredible amount of time building ROMs in their spare time.

Hello

I want to modify my partition table, I've read users get better 3D performance (in games) with a bigger Cache partition.

3D performance aside, what's the recommended minimum size I should set it to without compromising overall performance?

I'm using a Sense based rom if it matters.

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakai4eva:
Not sure... I'm running an AOSP ROM with the N1 table. No performance lag for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Android uses the cache partition, to cache memory, giving it much faster access to it, so obviously the bigger your cache, the more cached ram your device has access too, also the market uses the cache for downloads, so if you have a 10mb cache partition you cant download a 14mb app off the market ect...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williepeng:
but how to modify the cache partition, or how to know the exact size of it?

Thanks,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
This thread is nearly 3 years old and a bit redundant now.

You can modify the cache partition by using what is known as a custom hboot.

An hboot has 3 partitions: /system /data and /cache. Assuming you have not changed it, you are still on 'stock hboot' and your cache partition is 40MB. Your /system is 250MB, and your /data (internal memory) is only 147MB

However, nowadays we use custom hboots to change these sizes. We reduce /system and /cache in order to increase /data (-> more space for apps).

The /cache argument above is basically redundant because it is just used for temporary files. Most custom hboots actually reduce this cache partition from 40MB to 5MB.

Basically there is no real need to change the cache partition, certainly no need to make it bigger.

Also, you need to be "S-OFF" to achieve any of this. As this is your first post I'm not sure what other reading you've done and what your ultimate goal is.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Just got a notification for a thread about a device i havent even had for 3 years lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williepeng:
Thanks you for your answer. Yes, I'm a beginner and only know the basic about Android system.

Actually I'm make a cache.img that can be flashed into a Samsung device with the recovery.img, but I don't know whether it would destroy the system if the one I made is bigger or smaller than the one in stock ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Well welcome to the Android world ;)

Each device is different, so Samsung root methods are also different.

DO NOT flash any cache.img for this phone. You don't need to adjust any cache sizes...and you'll more than likely brick your phone if you manage to somehow flash it.

For this device, I always recommend you start here, read it many times
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dean15:
Actually flashing cache partition cannot brick the phone since it doesn't carry any unique content. For the same reason you don't need to flash it at all, system will create all necessary files by itself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Actually eddie was on bout flashing the samsung cache.img the guy had so yh u could/would brick ur phone. And the desire's internal memory layout is divided into 3 partitions, system (250mb) cache (40mb) data (147mb) totally size is 437mb, soo if the guy flashed just the cache.img it would probably **** up the phone's memory leaving u with a paper weight
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
All I can say is I don't recommend it at all...I also really hope you're not thinking about flashing something meant for a Samsung phone.

The cache partition may not carry any unique content, but flashing an hboot is a critical part of the phone. A corrupted hboot flash = brick

Even if you somehow successfully managed to flash a cache separately...ultimately you won't actually gain anything by doing so.

Choice is yours, but don't say we didn't warn you ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dean15:

OK, we're talking about the same thing in different words.
[General Questions and Answers] SAbboushi:
Spent most of today trying to figure out how to secure my data on tp2 with SD card. Here's my thoughts and conclusions:

I can implement windows encryption on the SD card... but that becomes a huge obstacle to flashing / hard-resets (encryption key cannot be exported and card becomes unreadable after hard-reset).

I can buy some encryption software, but my impression is that the few I have found are either way expensive or only encrypt SD card (and it seems there is no reliable option for changing the location of Outlook data storage - other than e-mail attachments - to the SD card).

But even if I find encryption software, what is to prevent someone from taking my phone and using WMDC to create a partnership and synch the contents from the phone to their desktop?

And then there is the locking of my phone: setting the phone to require a password upon startup is tolerable, but it gets old pretty fast when I have to type the password each time the phone has been inactive for 7 minutes, so I'm looking at pattern locking software (throttlelock) instead. (i.e. I require security upon startup and after 7 minutes of inactivity).

Anyone figured out how to address all these issues? Any other possible breaches in security I have not mentioned?

Sam
