Yes. You extract the release you want and put the folder inside of the xRecovery/backup folder.

so for 0.12 that would be:

/sdcard
/xrecovery
/backup
/cm7-0.5
/cache.img
/data.img
/nandroid.md5
/system.img

it will then list as cm7-0.5 when you select restore inside the backup/restore option in xRecovery.

When it comes to headphones you can grab that from the mini realease :D

For installs that don't work in Market: if you do a logcat and the error is

E/Vold ( 1522): Error opening devmapper (No such file or directory)
E/Vold ( 1522): ASEC device mapping failed (No such file or directory)

then just unmount your sdcard in options (select remove sdcard) and it will work ;) refrence

FM radio is maybe related to FmRxService.apk, Radio.apk, fm* files in etc/firmware, fmreceiverif.jar?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] omega-alpha:
Fully agreed.

@racht: do you think, it would be possible to use "update.zip" procedure in future?

p.s.: it might make sence to distingiush between rom.zip and google.zip ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Compwxr:
Hello racht, it might be stupid to ask, but, is it possible to enable the ("turn off screen when you call due to light sensor") ? ofc u need to concentrate in more important features in future, this is just a +1 :) keep great work, best wishes
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] a-k-t-w:
It doesn't turn off due to light sensor, it turns of due to proximity sensor. Is that broken?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
No, all works, only video recorder and 3.5 dont.

All sensors work for me :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] frahmadani:
i'm using floyo 0.10. my app installation setting set to 'automatic'. my titanium backup detected the a2sd partition, and its decreasing everytime i install apps. but when i go to setting->app->manage, there is no apps listed as 'on sd card'. does this mean app2sd work or not?

for you guys who has tested floyo 0.11 or 0.12, what do you mean by app2sd not working? is titanium backup still recognized the ext2 partition or not at all?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] islaX:
sound recorder doesn't work both on 2.2.1, 2.3.2
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Just got first self-reboot in 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.11 after already 2 days of use.

Tryed to move app's to sd card using Titanium BackUp and it says that they are moved to sd card. After I killed Titanium Backup process got that Sd card is safe to remove...and few seconds later restart.

After that restart,started Tit. Backup again to check the phone memory and app2sd. Again when I killed Tit.Backup process phone restarts.

Why phone restart after that ? Can it be fixed?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] islaX:
also no app2sd in hackdroid and 'safely remove card' and reboot (after killing apps like rootexplorer or titanium)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HAKA:
umm...HackDroid v0.12 is not Floyo, right?

Its CM with ugly sense theme and the ROM in which we cannot install GingerFroyo....am i right?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
As I could see, it's CM. But try installing sense_framework.

Just tried CM7 0.6. Native App2sd works. I installed apps on Sdcard. That's what Apps Manager showed me. But 2.1 app2sd doesn't work. I could read only fat32. Sensors are working. Very smooth version. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
There is two types of app2sd: native and symlink

If you have done the hack (symlink) then apps will go on ext partition. Titan will detect both. In native apps will be packaged in a crypto container file, so you can't pirate it. It will be on normal fat partition. If you use hack version then don't take out sdcard unless you power off phone first. This because ALL your user apps will be stored there. It will be like unmount data partition for android. IMO hack is better as all apps and cache is there. Link2sd (app on market) is the same but with choise.

tl;dr You have hack version of app 2sd, leave your card in.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
Edit: same idea :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
Your ext partition isn't mounted by default and the links are probably gone so no 2.1 app2sd on when you boot first time. You can recreate it :) I think CM7-0.6 was mostly a test of the prelink-map as some stuff that's worked before is broken. Even w/o 3d my Quadrant score is 1k.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
I'll try that and post here if it works. Thanks.

Edit : It works. CM7 0.6 Reads ext3/2 partition after running app2sd.sh script. Now all my apps are here and working fine. Thanks again.

Install xrecovery. Extract folder and put to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup.

Boot into recovery and select restore and restore it. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ivan4o5:
You must have xrecovery on your device . You must unrar this into your sdcard/xrecovery/backup . When you go into xrecovery , go to backup and restore --> restore ---> and you select the folder .

EDIT : Boshe was faster xD .

Please someone to fix it (if can of course)...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
Quite possibly it's linked to Busybox, as xRecovery depends on a special one, and TitBackup needs newest one. I recomend swapping out titanium for something else until it get's fixed.

As I've never installed any rom via xrecovery I've got a question.

Is it possible to make FULL backup of my current rom. I mean contacts,call lists,messages,apps,apps settings and so on. And restore it after installing hackdroid if I do not want to use rachts rom?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Yes, do backup first, it will save everything. u can restore it after.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Just make a back-up with xrecovery... that's what it does.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mzmz83:
No problem with xRecovery, just choose Backup and then create.

You can store the complete system.

All ROMs you can download here, are created by the same way to share it with us.

edit: wow you are fast in answer
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
Try this. Open titanium, download busybox then update superuser.

Had the same annoying thing when mem is low and tb open.

After I did this, Phone did not reboot after killing TB. ;-) launcher reset itself the first time though. ???
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Thanks for the answer. Downloaded busybox for TB and installed. SU is up to date(it says this). After that, touched Kill all applications and again phone reboots.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mewtwo68d:
I've tried it too, no use. Although I ddin't use Task Manager the phone randomly still said "SD Card is safe to remove" and reboot when I close an application. I've rolled back to Eclair.

TB updated to 3.7.2. and now even my phone reboots on TB kill :mad: :mad: however, the stability of no reboot on low mem (high app/large app use) is still there atleast. :rolleyes:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ivorh:
Compass

Hmm, do you find it's reliable/smooth? it seemed pretty erratic to me, e.g. using google sky map.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
Tested CM7 v0.06 until this morning when my phone began restarting after calls and for no reason. So i downgraded to 2.2.1 v0.11. So, CM7 0.6 restarts after killing or just closing any app that uses Superuser. Sensor wasn't working during call. Managed to move apps to sd. Even if it shows Failed to Move app is moved. (for me on second try).

Still got "Unknown Reason - 18" on installing some apps with Automatic.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
If you get MD5 mismatch then re-download. Either you've messed with filenames or your download was bad. the MD5 file defines checksum for the images when they're made. So it makes sure what comes out (backup) comes in (restore).

tl;dr - re-download and try again.

Did you find sky map smooth on stock rom? for me it's always been a bit erratic even on stock rom. x8 is a lowcost device :)

For me "Unknown Reason - 18" always means that if I unmount my sdcard it will work. Might be related to this issue - but I've not tried it yet. I swap roms to often right now :P

Also; I've got no issues with running SU apps on CM7-0.06. I let the phone kill them though as memory management is vastly improved on 2.3 :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ivorh:
yes worked really well on the original rom, (well as well as could be expected) but appears "jumpy" now for example holding the device steady and slowly tipping it up and down causes the image to judder left and right.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Phone reboots and when killing Root Explorer.

Bug for camera,you cannot capture images using camera key(you must touch the button on the screen). this is in hackdroid 0.11

I hope that bench test is not faked ;)

Fingers crossed for u racht and everyone else involved in this project :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
no the benchmark

isn`t

faked i have saw it with my own eyes on my own X8 ^^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ryukenden:
If thats the case, then i'm impressed by SE's stupidity, for hiding this from us. Obviously 2.2 works so much better on X8, compared to 2.1.

Damn...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
I don´t know if you try the 2.2 Rom but I try it and have to say its beutyful ^^ When GSM/Wifi and SD is fixed I will use this ROM because its more nice than the SE rom..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ryukenden:
Yea, i still didn't tried it, but as soon someone makes fully working rom, i'll switch right away.

I tried the 2.1 rom by racht, ofc i like it more than sony's crap. If he even releases 2.1 that is working correctly, i'll dump the Sony's and use it instead... Sony's is just ugly....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
I'm also switching to the 2.1 Sense rom if he finishes that first, but i would like for that to have working gsm/wifi/bluetooth/gps/gl/camera... so I don't know how far along is he, because he stated he has to fix GSM,Vibra,GL(only this ?) in the 2.1 Eclair Sense (Legend) v0.5. I hope he will fix those so that we can experience a really good rom. I do hope you'll consider finishing one rom before you continue working on others. The 2.2 rom seems better on the long run, but you may have bigger problems than the 2.1. This is my opinion and I may be wrong, but whatever you choose to continue to develop I will be using as my rom on my X8. Thank You for your hard work!

Working on Hackdroid 0.12.

Root Explorer isn't working. You have to reinstall it via adb, then it works.

It reboots itself from time to time.

app2sd isn't working. When I want to install it - it says:

+___________________+

|********************|

|* Menu *|

|* *|

|*[0] install app2sd*|

|*[1] remove app2sd *|

|*[2] exit *|

|********************|

+--------------------+

[0]0

0

mkdir failed for /system/sd, File exists

mkdir failed for /data/appbak, File exists

sh: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `else'

sh: line 8: `else'

When I want to delete it - it says it is not installed.

/data/app empty. /data/app-private/ empty. /data/dalvik-cache/ empty. So it is not working.

On Hackdroid 0.11 all of above work fine. Root Explorer has not to be reinstalled. App2sd working fine from the scratch.

Help? :)

P.S.: In 0.11 in cyanogen I can't find an option to end call with power button (but I saw it in 0.12). Am I blind, or it is older mod or something? :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
you get an error in line 8 of your shellscript. Please post the script and we can help you figure out why it fails ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xewl:
Posted this thread on facebook.com/XperiaX8GingerBread.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] smoczoos:
File in attachement.

I don't think that it is problem with app2sd script. It is from Android 2.1 and it worked there. Also, on Hackdroid 0.11 it works fine from the start (w/o installation or reinstallation). In 0.12 system can't see ext2 partitions. I've found somewhere in this thread update.zip with this partition drivers, but it didn't work also.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
Like the message sais; there's an error in line 8.

#!/system/bin/sh
cd /sdcard

app2sd()
{
if busybox [ -f /system/bin/sh_bak ] ;
then
echo "please deinstall app2sd first"
sleep2
else
su <<fg

the "sleep2" should be replace by "sleep 2" to make the script pause for 2 seconds. As sleep2 is no command the shell knows the script will stop, and as this is before your app2sd partition gets mounted it won't work :)

Also AFAIK 0.12 should have no issues mounting ext partitions w/o extra drivers.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] smoczoos:
So why 0.12 can't see apps which I've installed on Android 2.1 with app2sd and 0.11 does see them? On 0.12 /data/app is empty.

P.S.: Dumb.. "power button to end call" is somewhere else... :D

P.S. II: Edited the script - the same error.

P.S.III: Reinstalled Root Explorer - worked 1 time, next - error with su. It happens after reboot.

P.S.IV: What about dualtouch?

psii: Nevermind my fix it's not the issue. your issue seems to be after the busybox check. I've not used app2sd on 0.12 yet, but I might put some time into it later tonite ;) This is why you don't see any apps though. All your apps installed on 2.1 is on your ext partition, and that's not mounted. Someone previously fixed the mounting, maybe they can help...

psiii: Root Explorer sometimes behaves sometimes don't. There a lot of stuff that's broken on 0.12 so I'm not supprised :)
