ok, thanks

I have question: in xrecovery "* Factory reset (full wipe)" restore clear system?

-- v3.5 -- ;) Thanks propc

When I install apps my internal space going down :( app2sd doesn't work?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] propc:
I don't know, never tried it. it maybe will wipe your data/settings only. not the system.

try app2sd with dalvik cache mod.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mikaforsel:
Thank you so much propc! Had to do it three times but now it's working well! The Gingerbread theme looks amazing. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boyzdad:
Hello,

I am very new to flashing android phones please could someone help me with this?

I have ran the adb install.sh etc.. but when it came to this part below, I restarted my X8 and now when you turn in on it just stays on the Sony Ericsson screen and keeps restarting? What did I do wrong?, I guess it is to do with the copy loader.sin part, which I did not know what to do here? Do you have to copy the loader.sin to the memory card or "firmware folder" (dont know where this is either)?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] cruizz:
can i install app2sd to that version?i have tried but failed...shall i disable the jit first?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] propc:
try the new gingerbread theme at the Theme/apps category. now with new animation sequence.

not reboot, flash with bin4ry flasher by removing system.sin

loader.sin at the attachment at the first post.

just install it. make sure you have partitioned your sdcard to 2 partititon. ext2 and fat32
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] cruizz:
i have tried it bit it failed again..i use ur 3.5 version..first reboot fine..but second reboot the memory still on standart...:(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boyzdad:
Ok well I have flashed the firmware files now, and my X8 is now turning on and working. But I am getting "permission denied" when I try su through adb shell? What did I do wrong for it not to be rooted?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Botoxopfer:
@Boyzdad

Unlock your phone and keep it awake. then aktivate usb debugging(under options/applications) then when you type in su in the tool you will get a prompt on your phone, that an apllication wants root acces. accept it and then it should work.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boyzdad:
Hi again,

Thanks for that, but I have realized why it was not rooted... I did not delete the system.sin from the firmware folder when I flashed so I have tried again and now it is fully working :D

Thank you
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] k3ksik:
propc, could you add bluetooth file transfer and remove all ringtones from firmware ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Tobi@s:
I have rooted 2.1. Is it possible to only replace the system(with the 3.5 image), without any reflashing?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
It depends. Which ROM did you use to flash to 2.1? If you just want to update from one of propc's versions to another, it should work in theory. But it is very likely that your phone crashes when deleting /system while using the 2.1-firmware. If you're using an older firmware than "2.0.2.A.0.24" from this thread, I guess it won't work, but I don't know for sure.

I guess it should be possible for propc to make update-files to use with xrecovery. This way it would be much easier to update from one of his versions to another.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Tobi@s:
I'm using the rom provided in clean/prerooted rom thread.

Hopefully he creates an update.zip for xRecovery :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
I'm glad it worked for you. But it is an older version of the firmware. I don't think an update.zip will do it in this case (but I could be wrong).

To be honest, I don't think the update is worth it. I don't see any improvement. The benchmarks aren't better, either. My advice for you: Keep your current firmware and install JiT, gingerbread theme and xrecovery by yourself. The result is the same.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Tobi@s:
I already installed xRecovery. But when I try to install JIT, my phone always reboots after the black/white SE-Logo at startup.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
Xda doesn't support piracy. It undermines the effort of developers..

Please refrain from talking about such stuff or you could get banned!

restore and try again or you can flash latest version propc's rom it has JIT pre installed
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] suhel28:
it doesnt have app2sd.. am I right?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] propc:
Yes, no app2sd. only xrecovery and JiT
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] suhel28:
i guess you can add app2sd script

because I'd app2sd enabled

than I went back to 1.6/rooted/newx8img/2.1kernel

and than I was bit skeptical about the loss of my applications

but than I decided to run the app2sd script and voila! without formatting or re-partitioning the sd card

I got everything back :D

also dude you need to replace list_selector_background_longpress.9.png in the framework file with something from the old framework's cuz the gingerbread list_selector_background_longpress.9.png is kinda greyish with a little orange color on the top so it kinda sucks when you get the greyish thingy on your phone lol

;P
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mzmz83:
Can you tell me something, about this error code?

It's from a german member.

After that he tried to flash to 2.1 with Root.

But after phoneboot and loading the Sony Ericsson writing, screen is frozen.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] propc:
try the new script. uploaded it. make sure you use 1.6 rooted to do it.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mzmz83:
New script? You mean 3.5 Version?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Tobi@s:
Can anyone share the fonts from v3 or v3.5? Cause I want the extra characters ^^

Some weeks ago, I'd intalled 3.5 successfully (I think).

So my question is, is there any way to see what version is actually installed on phone.

Cause I tried the Benchmark test and the score is under 500 on my X8, now I'm not sure as well, that version 3.5 is really installed.

Maybe I'd downloaded and installed wrong version 3.0 without jit.

I'm now running a clean rooted version 3.5, and planning to install app2sd. I'm going to replace my sd card with a new one, so do I need to backup anything from my old sd card?

for example, version 3.5 has JiT. is JiT storing anything on sd card that I need to backup to ensure the Jit will still be enabled?

@mzmz83:

you can run adb shell then type 'dalvikvm -k'. if JIT is enabled you'd see at the end of the line something like 'configured with jit debugger profiler'.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] smoczoos:
In quadrant with installed v3.5 I have ca. 470. Isn't it too little?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mzmz83:
You should backup hole sd card to pc. Then, after preparing your new sd card for APP2SD you copy your data back to card and it should work.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mzmz83:
Configured with: debugger profiler jit show_exception=1

Dalvik VM init failed (check log file)

Does that mean, jit is installed? Thanks.

USB is for when you are plugging in your Archos as a device to your PC, to navigate its storage.

USB Host is for using the Archos like a pc. You can attach memory card readers, keyboards, etc to it.

Hey folks...

I own my HD2 for about 1 year now. Unfortunately (or not), I bought only a few months ago a silicone case and this is why my backcover was really damaged.

Deep scratches, the clear lacquer sayd goodbye at some spots and so on. I think u know :)

So i decided to do something against it ;)

On the pictures below you can see the result...

I hope you like :D

greets

Ray
[HD2 Accessories] dssig226:
Cool

COOL !!:D

I like it, How did you do it ??
[HD2 Accessories] RayDag:
You need..

~ 3 different kinds of abrasive paper with something about 280, 350, 400 granulation.

polishing paste

toothpaste (xtra white) xD

and an old t-shirt or something like that.. (for polishing)

____________________________________________________________

Take the roughest abrasive paper first and remove the paint.

This could be little tricky cause the backcover has this "brushed" look, so you have to remove all this little "brushed look" lines.

After the paint is gone take the next paper (take little water and wet it) and grind it always in the same direction. (no circle moves, this would ruin it)

Now take the finest paper and again take a little water to make it extra fine and grind it too.

Now the backcover should be free of any painting and the surface should be smooth...

To make it high shiny take the polishing paste and a part of ure old shirt or whatever and start polishing xD

This can take a little while cause the backcover is made of "stainless steel"

Finnish it with some toothpaste the same way you did with the polishing paste.

After cleaning it unter hot water with a little liquid soap dry it and look at your wonderfull shiny backcover :D

greets

Ray

[HD2 Accessories] chuck507:
I polished mine to a mirrored finish and it shows every hand print and it scratches very easily, but it hasn't tarnished in the 4-5 months since I polished it.

I polished it by first using a belt sander with medium grit (220) and sanding against the grain of the textured lines on the back. Then I used a buffing wheel with some emery buffing compound to get rid of the sanding marks. After that I switched to a yellow buffing compound gave it a final polish.

I thought the polished back was too smooth so I decided to give it a little texture by using a plastic stencil, some spray adhesive, masking tape, and a $10 flea market sandblaster with about 80psi with silica sand.

[HD2 Accessories] homais:

[HD2 Accessories] homais:
at the same time i might just try it
[HD2 Accessories] chuck507:
I like that idea, but I tried some different paints prior to the sandblasting and nothing seem to hold very well. I don't know what the metal is but I tried bluing it and it didn't change a bit. I even tried a translucent paint dip that I thought I could clear coat but it was flaking off just from handling it before I could even start clear coating.

If I were going to try it again I think I would try an aluminum paint primer then paint it before sandblasting the stencil.

That toothpaste idea worked great for taking out the fine scratches that were on it.
[HD2 Accessories] callmecooper:
Just started sanding today, as my original clear coat was spotty, and flaking off, and getting rather annoying. As much as i enjoyed the original condition, it need some much needed improvement.

So i started today and here is where im at, going to wetsand to mirror it tomorrow.
[HD2 Accessories] chuck507:
That looks good, but you might want to sand it until you can no longer see any of those original lines. I had just a couple of really faint lines that I thought would come out when polishing it, but they ended up standing out even more once it was polished.

I ended up sanding mine a second time and buffing it out again because of those faint lines, and there are still some very small ones on my cover especially on the top and bottom edges.
[HD2 Accessories] Major_Sarcasm:
Not that I'm particularly keen on the whole look of a polished rear cover on an HD2, something that might help: in the UK (not sure about the rest of the world), there is a product called 'Autosol' which is a metal polishing compound. I polished a set of alloy wheels with it. The wheels' lacquer had started to come off, so I sanded them with progressively finer wet & dry (600/800/1200) and then finished with the Autosol.

I think they turned out pretty well.
[HD2 Accessories] HectiQ:
