I have that kind of problem when I restart my phone and it is charging linked to the computer : I can't light up the screen, but the phone is started because I can hear sound when I push volume buttons. (CM7.0.4 (2.3.4) v.85 HACKDROID)

Edit : I just installed v.85a and it's very smooth, maybe even better than v.85, but menu when pressing left button is ugly, white written on write, it's unreadable.

How can I change that ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Flasher8:
just change to sense theme in theme chooser .
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Maze_fr:
It works, but black menu fits a lot better my black X8... and black is a great color ;)

How to change the menu back to black ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] proadi96:

How to install LauncherPro v0.8.6? Thanks.

PS: Never uninstall LauncherPro until install a new Launcher."
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Griffrez:
With the HackDroid v.85, I am supposed to do a full wipe after a flash, right? Or do I just reboot after the recovery is done?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Fetz Braun:
The problem is, not everybody wants the sense theme. I would prefer for example "htc.elegance theme" from elelinux. it is similar, but some icons are nicer (profile icon in settings, the gps icon in notification).

so why must this menu be white??

the rom is so fast and smooth, it´s just amazing :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
You can install any CM7 themes on this rom.

I had to modify the "original" theme to apply tweaks that CM7-themes cannot support (lockscreen, some status bar tweaks).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Maze_fr:
So, racht, why menu has become white ?

It was black on previous versions, and it was nice in black :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] proadi96:
Yes i have the same but now im using xgin 4.0 with sense launcher ;) i am waiting for fixed wifi salsa sense rom ;)

# racht : please develop.salsa because i really love the sense ui and apps ;) if you fix wifi you will be hero!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Maze_fr:
I found this post sending to another post, that gives a solution for battery draining :

In "/system/etc/hw_cofing.sh" or "/etc/hw_cofing.sh" (I have only "/etc/hw_cofing.sh"), add the following lines :

#Drain battery fix
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
chmod u+s /system/bin/charger
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

Charge 100% your Device

Reboot into xRecovery, and go advanced-> Wipe Battery Status

Let it full drain

I'm trying it... I'll know if it work at the end of the week.

When is the Legend Froyo 2.2 gonna be finish? i would love to use that, but there is no sound. Any1 know when it will be finish with everything working? :D

TROLL reminder :

NO asking for ETA

NO need to report bugs on old versions (use latest)

NO point to report bugs if you don't specify baseband and firmware version.

Hey Racht~ When did you update Floyo 0.20? Was it May 6th or later? I flashed Floyo May 10th or somethin and I'm think that you added a new line between the CM6 and VGA. So I'm downloading the system again.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Fetz Braun:
Yes, i know i can. Of course it works. The piont is in menu there is no text with other themes. That´s a little bit pity. But if you say it is nesessery.... ;)

Please don´t get me wrong, i love your work :cool:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
Racht would you finally said me what's wrong with slow speed of wi-fi internet connection?? Could you repaire it? Here I'm talking about your 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
I am not sure, but what you can do is replace the /system/lib/modules/ files with files from ROM that works better.

I am using optimized wlan module, its 10 times smaller than original file from sony .. and it works for most people. Try putting original sony wlan module and see if it helps.

Updated 06-May-2011 : updated!

2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20

Download : Floyo v0.20

Working : Everything!

Fixes : cummulative fixes up to 5th may 2011 (everything you need)

No undervolt, no overclock, only stable,very fast and generic-looking rom.

If you are updating X8 for your gf/friend/etc install this, they will be happy and won't bug you much..

if upgrading from older floyo or other cm6 rom, wipe cache(!), but u can keep old data partition.

update: latest google apps(market,maps,talk..), brightness fix, keymap fix.

VGA-video recording fix : here, put it in /system/etc

<-----my question is is there anyone can teach men how to put the VGA-video recording fix to the /system/etc ? its a source code..not flashable file..sorry if im wrong..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Maze_fr:
Well... on my phone with v85a, it drains at 1%/hour with only GSM conected, and nothing else (it was night...). And it's the first drain.

So I would say it works : it was 5 to 10 times more battery drain before I do that change. And before having battery drain problems, it was at 1%/hour, so it went back to normal.

As v86 is out, I'm about to try it with v86 :)

@Racht : if you could include it in the next rom, it would be great.

Maybe LED battery drain problem is linked to that... but as I didn't notice a problem because of LED, I don't know (my LED never stay lighten up for very long).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dario!:
save the file .xml and copy it in to system\erc with rootexplorer;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
^^

It need to be in /system/etc , not erc.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dario!:
yes, i made an error while typing;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] payat7:
thank you very much... :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] noidoi:
Hello, all. I did all the above (with hw_config.sh) and still have the battery drain -> 3-5% per hour or so, with no activity. Disabled LED related options and stopped GPS, 3G, etc.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] payat7:
i have another question....u said save it as .xml is there any name for the file or only let it .xml without any name?

Can i try to standard S.E rom 2.1?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Maze_fr:
As explained in the post in the link, the problems seams to be only CM6 and CM7, but I don't think trying it in another would brick the phone... so do what you want, maybe it will do nothing.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] UAL4588:
Oh well.... I forgot to backup.... If this doesn't work I might as well get a move on to MiniCM7.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] payat7:
I have try.....my phone didnt brick for now..huhu...have charge it to full and battery stats resets....just want to see if there any change..haha..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Griffrez:
@Racht

Why do you use a restore method instead of the traditional .zip method? I'm not saying that the restore method is hard to perform, it's just that I am wondering why.

Also, we should do a full wipe after flashing? I've flashed once without doing a wipe, and it just seemed like a pre-configured environment.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bal27:
My wifi keeps disconecting from phone using the latest release of ROM any suggestions?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Griffrez:
I'm quite disappointed with the 2D rendering on this ROM... I can get 43 frames on the 2D rendering test on Quadrant on FroyoBread... but on this ROM I can't get to 40. On the other hand, the first 3D test is quite nice on this ROM... 180 frames. The frames I mean are the total frames... not the FPS... 180 FPS on 3D? Get real. xP

EDIT: Sorry about that, Racht. HackDroid 2.3.4 v86
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
It is quadrant score not frames

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Griffrez:
I mean the number of frames that have been rendered by the end if the benchmark. So, what I meant is that, for example, the 3D, by the end of the benchmark, it would have rendered 180 frames.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] khartaras:
You can notice that 2D underperforms a bit, but you don't really notice it.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Maze_fr:
So so so... some little comments on v86...

As I already had a 2.3.4 version, I only install system image.

The good things :

The fix for battery drain works well (hw_cofing.sh) : still 1%/hour doing nothing only with GSM on.

It is very smooth.

GTasks appears : I don't use it, but it's interesting anyway.

I don't have Wifi problems like other people do (I use Wifi Static for my network because I deactivated DHCP).

The bad things :

I searched on Internet to know what AndroSS is, because I can't launch it, then I deleted it.

I searched on Internet to know what TapeMachine is, because I can't launch it, then I deleted it.

I don't know how to use DSP manager and I don't feel a bad sound quality on my Logitech headspeacker... so I deleted it.

I use RealCalc (free app), a more complete calculator, so deleted the basic one, as usual for every ROM. (Just for the notice)

eQuotes is funny, there are some great quotes, but I doubt that people who are not good in english will use it (and anyway I can't imagine someone spending his time reading that), and I know I won't, so I deleted it.

I used to use System theme, but unfortunatly it is "broken" : I don't have orange color anywhere and it keeps part of Sense theme I was forced to use with v85a. I swithed to Cyanbread, the same in cyan color.

Honeycomb theme mess everything up in the phone theme : i think a lot of work is missing on it before it can be used properly.

I delete many other apps, but it's my own choice, so I won't detail that here : I talked only of what is interesting for the ROM, according to me.

Great job racht, the only "important" thing still missing is the camera.

Download the archive from first post.

Extract it, you'll find inside a folder named floyo-0.25. Move this folder [containing 4 files] into your X8 SD, into this path:

\xrecovery\backup

Then reboot your phone into xrecovery.

Select Backup/Restore

Select floyo 0.25

Restore it.

Wipe cache and all user data.

Reboot phone e confiigure your new floyo version.

If you still don't have xrecovery installed, google for it, or search into this forum.

There are several guides on how to..

Floyo 0.25

Can Floyo 0.20 be updated to 0.25 using the advance recovery option (to update just the system files) so we don't lose the software already installed?

it does not cause any big problems though, so i hope u can live with it a few more days.

you CAN upgrade from floyo 0.1x/0.2x to latest without wipe.

Remember to format cache and remove /data/dalvik-cache directory.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] UAL4588:
Hi Racht. Removing data/dalvik-cache means wipe dalvik cache in xrecovery? should i do it before or after flashing?

Hey i just noticed something really odd.

My phone ringtone only plays once during a call. After that it just keeps on vibrating till the call ends. I found no setting in the phone which can modify this, so I'm assuming that it might be a bug.

I'm using floyo .25. Can anyone else confirm this?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Fetz Braun:
this seems to be a problem in all roms with CM.

I have floyo 0.25 and don't experience this bug.

Did you try changing your ringtone?

I have the default "terminated" one, maybe you could try to set the same as me and tell us you the bug still persist.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Fetz Braun:
This seems to be with ringtones, which have no tag like "andriod_loop = true" ( i´m not sure, if i am right with this) So it happens with mp3 ringtones downloaded from zedge for example.

For me i fixed this problem adding this tag with Audacity 1.3 beta, and saved as .ogg
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Aashrey99:
Mate, could you please give me step by step instructions on how to do this? I have the exact same problem as you.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Fetz Braun:
download Audacity 1.3 beta (search in google plz), install it.

Open your ringtone in audacity, than "file" > "metadata editor" > "add.. than type ANDROID_LOOP in the first field, and true in the second field.

Then "file" > "export" > than save file as ogg-orbit file ;)

How to install

Hi,

These ROMs are RAR-files. So how do you install them in xRecovery?

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
Extract rar to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup and in xrecovery select backup/restore => restore
