sorry if this question is repeated.....

racht told that if you want the old framework just replace the framework-res.apk in /system/framework

but when i do the same and restart the device is stuck at floyo logo...

any suggestions????
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] djtimon89:
DOWNLOAD: reframe

Download the original floyo or cm untouched theme and try

Did you give the original framework right permissions?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
you can not overwrite it when the phone is on it will just crash before it is finished and go into a bootloop.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HAKA:
nothing happened???

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Can you post a link?

As far as i know there is no 2.3 roms for x10 mini/pro

Heck there isnt even a 2.2 rom which boots up for x10 mini/pro

Although one dev is trying to port freeX10 2.2 rom to mini pro
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] PhonerX:
Really? Please give a link where a full-working 2.3 for X10 mini is available?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
Stop spam guys.

Why you are focused on 2.1 Legend ROM, but not on newer 2.2 ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Imppy:

But continue with desires to create a working one!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
Doesn't work for me. Still WIP. You can try.

It's modifiyed legend 2.1 rom with libs from X8. Put into /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/

legend-img.rar

Install via xRecovery > Restore.

huger, stop posting broken things, if there's no progress, why waste time and bandwidth?

if you know what to do - do it and fix libs, if u don't - wait until others will do it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stoyandim:

When wi-fi and gsm will be fixed i will use this rom.:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Racht has come back in time to 31 january (my time atleast) to bring us a really good news, let's hope someone else will help him complete that good looking rom. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Hope you are right :D

I'm looking forward to use this beutyful ROM!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Imppy:
Good work will try it once wifi work And 3g work
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Imppy:
Will this work with e15Ia version? Or just e15i?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
GSM is not working yet, so rest should work same way on e15a as on e15i ..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
I've seen now that you also fixed the 2.2 sense rom, hope that you will finish it because i can't wait to see froyo on my x8... and not just froyo, SENSE FROYO. :D

Found floyo 0.10 running 3x faster then original se 2.1.1 OS. That's awesome! Some improvement, like making camera and volume work properly, and we can forget about original OS.

Btw some programs still don't want to install =\ especially progs that use sdcard..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Compwxr:
Well, decided to move from 2.1 stock to 2.2.1 0.10v, great speed, very smooth, no BIG problems except some reboots at beginning, some apps from market doesn't install and the 3.5mm jack doesn't work (at least for me)atm using stock SE phones. Camera not that!! needed (with that awfull quality...), Videos are a -1 too. Some minor corrections and fixes and this rom is done, great work racht :D

could someone explain how to partition sd card to make cyanogenmod app2sd work?

btw i too noticed a huge battery drain using wifi/3g intensively
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cionn:
Unmount and then mount of SD card makes phone reboot.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] antimadridista1:
I'm interested in that too...how to partition SD card to work on apps2sd in floyo rom?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
I must say again that floyo 0.10 works great. Phone uptime 1day 8hours 44 min without any restarts or sime other problems. Battery is 45% atm. It will be good(if can off cource) to make camera and 3. 5mm jack to work, and also app2sd. Very big thanks to racht for making this roms.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sincan01:
I'm using transcend 8 GB class 6. With 500 mb ext2 partition. And floyo native app2sd is work for me. With install location set to Automatic.

I'm sorry for my bad english.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] redsock:
can you give more instructions? please. what to type after adb shell?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sincan01:
I just make an ext2 partition and set install location to automatic (Rach is set it to automatic so you dont have to change it again). And all installed aplication will be installed on sd card (check with titanium backup)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Just readed that you managed your partition with usb cable. I have usb cable,and have 2gb micro sd card.Those that come with phone,i don't know the class.

So my question: How to manage my card 2gb. What should be the size od ext2 partition? If I connect via usb what should I delete first?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mzmz83:
Look at this link, it works.

I also use the original sd card.

...and in German...SD card partitioning
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] brixzen:
Use this file init.zip(chargemon,ramdisk.tar,vold.fstab).... sdcard will work like stock OS... mount in /sdcard... not only symlink.....

chargemon->/system/bin

ramdisk.tar->/system/bin

vold.fstab->/system/etc

chmod 777 for all...

Finished partitioning with sdcard. Mace 1.1Gb fat and other for a2sd. Tryed to move something on sd card,but error again. Now on my reboot (caused by Titanium BackUp) i got notification that SD Card is damaged,and I need to format it. :(

I'll give a try for that later. :)

I'm sorry about that, hope you did a backup before.

Let's try the init.zip for this ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] frahmadani:
wow.. great news! so app2sd is working now.

one question, i've used app2sd on eclair before. can i just used the sdcard (the old ext2 part.) without having to reinstall all the apps? or do i have to do a full wipe on my phone, reformat my sdcard, thus start using floyo's native app2sd with a fresh phone and sdcard?

wah ada mastah brixzen :D mohon pencerahannya..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
After trying all the things,no possitive results. Trying to format sd card,but pc and phone are not recognise it. Made a fulll wipe,again nothign. So I decied to reinstall software via Pc Comp. and to see it sdcard will be fine.

Anyway thanks for the help guys. I'll be back with results.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
This is the last chance. My computer cannot find sd card. Tryed everything but nothing. I resized sdcard and created ext2 (as primary) and after applying :

Sd card damaged.

First both partitions need to be primary ?

If this not works,I'll install the previous rom . Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] klaus74:
maybe it's a sd failure?

btw i'm buying a 8gb class 10 sd card, hope to make it work
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] antimadridista1:
But how to make ext2 partition?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
I created two partitions on stock 2 gb and both are primary. When i try to move app to SD card it says moving failed but everything i install is automatically installed on SD card not in phone memory

I make partitions with Minitool partition wizard
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sincan01:
Yes that what i mean.

@boshe

You need to change your sd card sir ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Bo0mer:
Or use linux environment to partition it - no problem at all - ext2,3,4, swap, fat, fat32 whatever you want....

Any chance of the FM radio (non-internet based) working in a custom ROM? or is the module stuck in SE FW? Honestly I'd rather have that then the camera.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
racht, your every post makes me feel like I should donate you 150€ that I've paid for this phone ;) unfortunately I can't because I don't have a way to do it...

If you manage to fix 3.5mm jack and apps installing - for me, installation to SD card don't even have to work, if you ask me, you could completely remove app2sd just to allow normal app installation :p

But it's not me who is decising (although this might be a temporary solution until you fix app2sd ;) )...

And, did you know that your CyanogenMod could become official once you "stabilize" it? ;)

Awsome releases Ratch. Can't wait to give the next version a try.

A little tip. The guy's developping for the tattoo were in the same situation as us ( abandoned on an old version of android) and they have learned alot about porting roms from other devices. Maybe they could help with ways to solve different issues.

Knowing SE and their firmware version numbering, this might be just an small update for some carriers...

Just take a look at numbering in versions there:

1.3.A.x.x was Android 1.6

next major update was

2.0.A which brought Eclair

next big known update was 2.0.2

next were 2.1.A and 2.1.1 but only 2.1.1 reached our phones...

Following this logic, next major update would be 2.1.B or 2.2.x

Same is with other SE phones: RxXXxxx where x is number and X is letter. Major updates (stability fixes) were marked with first number after R and minor updates were marked with XX - last three numbers were always reserved for marking sub-version of update RxXX, made by some carrier...

Thanks alot for the gingerbread version of cyanogen mod, it's really something fantastic. I have tested both floyo v0.10 & hackdroid v 0.4 and the last one is more stable & nice. I believe that one day we will see a fully working rom with the fm-radio, camera, headphones and vibra ant it will be a real revolution for x8 users.

Good luck!

Trying this out, its so smoooooth! Maybe not fastest but its so smooth! Stable till now

Some bugs or observations made

-takes a little while to get data connection but it works

-3.5 mm jack doesnt work

-Didnt detect my ext partition?App2sd doesnt work?(can you confirm or show us how it works,racht?)

-Factory reset made matters worse for me(gave me the lockscreen bug)

-no rotation

-no vibration

-no proximity

-loud speakers feels louder than stock se rom(:confused: :D)

-no bluetooth

-Havent connected wifi to a network but it opened and scanned networks fine

-camera don't care

Keep Going!

Why would want him to waste his resources on that? when he is so close to getting a stable froyo or gingerbread rom
