I've tried Racht's ones.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914513

Currently I'm under Floyo (2.2.1) because there is app2sd working in this ROM but I think 2.3.2 CM HackDroid ROM is also a good ROM (I was using this before).

For the moment, I recommend you Floyo.

Both of them make your phone twice faster.

There still are some small bugs (as 3.5 jack or some sensors don't work) but these ROM still are in dev.

So be patient and in the future they will be better and better thanks to Racht's work =)

But be careful when you flash your device.

Be aware of the dangers and think to make a backup of your initial ROM before.
[XPERIA X8 General] Terdroblade:
thnx, i'll give it a try. I'm aware of all the problems with custom roms. I was just wondering what the most stable rom was atm
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
+1

pretty awesome ROM.
[XPERIA X8 General] zousoum96:
guys i want to download floyo but which one of all the floyo should i download? and except this how do i install them? i rename them as update.zip and install with the xrecovery or somehoww else?If i update i will lose all my apps and i will have to redownload them? Also because i have jit it will still be enabled?
[XPERIA X8 General] troufiniou:
Hey, I have test the new version of 2.3.2 CM Gingerbread v0.5 HACKDROID, he have a lot of bug,; But on the lock screen he freeze and I must remove the battery for restart the phone
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
Yes you loose all your apps and jit will be still enabled. Download floyo v0.10. First create in xrecovery backup of your current rom. Then extract floyo to sdcard /xrecovery/backup and reboot to xrecovery. in xrecovery do full wipe and then choose Backup and restore -> Restore -> floyo/ -> Yes and reboot phone
[XPERIA X8 General] zousoum96:
Man if I install this Rom then will I be able to go back to normal via the first back up?
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
Yes you will be able
[XPERIA X8 General] zousoum96:
Man i will still be root user right? and i wont lose busybox right? Last questions before the install
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
Yes you don't lose it
[XPERIA X8 General] LFSPovo:
Racht's 2.2 I think is the best you can get for the X8. I was really afraid to install it, because I thought it would be buggy, but I was very surprised when I tried it. It's fast, stable and much better than 2.1.
[XPERIA X8 General] zousoum96:
Yes it is very good now we are waiting for a good 2. 3 Rom

As I've said before,I'm working on a custom rom.But since the system.img is extracted in a folder called system,I want to install it via clockwork.But everytime I try to install zip from sd card I get an error.Am I doing something wrong?

Wrong section, sorry~!
[GT540 Optimus General] pRo_lama:
What kind of error do you have ??? Can you write it. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
Do you have the updater-script (or update-script) in the META-INF>com>google>android folder? Also check it for errors (make sure that all of the commands are written correctly)

Hope it helps,

Jack
[GT540 Optimus General] zzsomebody:
Jack, is there a tutorial anywhere that shows us how to install a rom via CW recovery?

It seems I too have the same issue as fdespotovski being: How to install a rom via clockwork recovery?

GreenDroid and SYNERGY both dont use sytem.img but rather a system folder.

Can install other roms like Joe Stones or CM7 fine or by command line with .img files or others with KDZ updater, yet these ones with CW Recovery seem to be lacking tutorials on where and how to do this installation in simple language.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
How to you mean, you want to install the .zip ROM. You will need to copy the update .zip file to your SDCard. Then, in Clockwork, select "Install .zip from sdcard" and choose "choose zip from sdcard" and then select the .zip you copied to your sdcard. It should begin installing the ROM. Then 'wipe data/factory reset' Reboot the phone. There, ROM is installed.

Jack
[GT540 Optimus General] zzsomebody:
Thanks Jack,

I think the problem is, I dont have clockworkmod installed on my phone as when I use an app called Rom Manager it gives an option called Flash CWM Recovery yet nothing happens when I select that so obviously I need to install that.

Any good tut's on now to install that, whilst using Joe Stones version 2.3.2?

Will search around, so thanks again.
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
Yeah, ROM Manager doesn't work with our phone, yet. But here is how to flash it on your device (without fastboot)

Download Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.8 from here.

Next, install YaffsExpert from the Market. (It's free ) Open it and in the first dropdown box, choose "Restore" and in the next, select "Recovery" press "Browser" next to the Operation File field. Select the recovery.img file. Make sure the "Target Device Model" is set to "All other" then press "Operation" wait for it to finish.Next, install YaffsExpert from the Market.

[GT540 Optimus General] zzsomebody:
Thanks yet again there Jack, very kind of you to continually reply.

I have that version of clock work, as I have many of the the 3.x.x series as well so dont need to download that, but does it matter which one we install? I see there is now a clockwork v4 and one with an auto installer as shown by Dudeman at a Swifdroid blog he has posted.

So will it matter which CWR I use? or is it very specific?

I have also just updated to Cyanogen RC0 which is I seem to be able to do fine as well as installing Joe Stones rom too. But not the ones that need to install from zip.

Speaking of downloads, well guess what, this brings me to another problem I have

(and one I have always had) which is for the life of me, I cannot understand why I cannot download from Market.

Meaning, I also have some webspace of my own I can down and install apps or .apk files just fine, yet although when I go to market, and click on install, agree and install, the app then says downloading and takes me to the page prior to the app page.

I then go back to the app page to see whats happening and it continually says "Starting download" but will stay like this forever never changing as it will not ever download. Nor will it for any file on or from Market.

Why the heck is this? Tell ya, this has me cursed it has, and has limited me from doing many things that others are doing on their GT540.

Any more info regarding this would be most appreciated.

[Atrix 4G General] xs2k:
Through a link from my company's website, I was able to place an order for the Atrix with unlimited Data/Messaging for $30 extra on the ATT premiere site. See attached image. However, the price for the phone is $299 as oppose to $199. If I take out the $30 unlimited data/text and replace it with 2gb Datapro, the phone becomes $199. I get an extra $100 off of the phone if I sign up for the 2GB Datapro.

I texts alot, so I opted for the $30 unlimited data/messaging plan. My question is, will this stick? When they ship me the phone, will I have issue activating it???

See picture...
[Atrix 4G General] lorijuan1024:
i dont think you will have a problem
[Atrix 4G General] xs2k:
Anyone with experience? I got my tracking info already...delivery on Monday...
[Atrix 4G General] Fixter:
I entered the enterprise website for me and I don't get any of that.
[Atrix 4G General] CowMix:
I thought that $30 for unlimited data and text plan was for non-smartphones
[Atrix 4G General] xs2k:
Here's how I did it:

1. Go to the premiere website

2. Add a plan first.

3. click on "Add a phone" and choose Atrix

4. When asked for data service add-on, click "skip"

5. When asked for Accessories click "skip"

6. Now it's asking you to add features. Click on the Data/Messaging for $30 and click "add to cart"

If you do this, it'll show the phone priced at $299. If you add a datapro instead, it'll show $199. I couldn't do this on the ATT's regular site, but I was able to do it on the Premiere website. Plus I get 20% discount from my job, so it's $62/month + tax and $343 up front. The extra $100 you pay for the phone is worth it for unlimited data + Messaging.

If you get the datapro, it's $20/month (20% discount) + $10 for 1000 Texts messages.
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
I went in through the premier website and I got the same thing! You can skip the data plan section and when you get to the text plan section you can actually pick one that says unlimited text and data for $30.

Could AT&T be bringing back unlimited data??? Maybe it's a feature just offered to premier members or it's a glitch. AT&T should offer a plan that has unlimited text, data and mobile to any mobile for $35! :)
[Atrix 4G General] xs2k:
Did you place an order? I was able to place another order for a friend yesterday.

The 2GB datapro cost $20 after 20% discount and $10 for 1000 texts. So basically you're paying an extra $150 (comparing phone price to radio shack) for unlimited data/text for 2 years. I normally use 1400-1500 each month, so $150 extra is worth it.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow if the activation will go through smoothly. I hope it's a glitch, and they'll honor it.
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
I didn't place an order I just checked to see if I got the same choices you got and it worked.

You ordered another Atrix for your friend...did you do it through your account for the same price as yours? How do you get the 20% discount I only get 15%? :/
[Atrix 4G General] andydumi:
I see it as well. The problem is I have an ATT account already, so I dont know if ordering a new plan is the way to go.
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
Just tried this out and checked with ATT. If you want to keep your unlimited data plan the phone is $299. If you want it for $199 you need to change your data plan away from unlimited.
[Atrix 4G General] andydumi:
I think the important thing is also that you can get the unlimited plan this way without having it before. I don't have it now and it lets me add it.
[Atrix 4G General] Fixter:
I think the important thing here is. Who has called At&t and verify this? :)
[Atrix 4G General] boostedneonsrt4:
hate to burst your guys bubbles, but that $30 for unlimited text and data is for basic and quick messaging phones, not smart phones. Its not going to stick, you will have to get the $25 for data pro.

ps i work for att. The only way i know of to get unlimited data if you dont have it already is to activate a 2g iphone on your account and then switch to a newer smart phone and then you will be able to keep the unlimited data.
[Atrix 4G General] RedSpyderX:
I wouldnt do that because if its a glitch itll get fixed soon. Ill check it for myself tomorrow. I have 22% off with the company I work at and we also have a ATT corporate website. So Ill update tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G General] xs2k:
Depends on the company you work for. I work for Xerox, so I get 20%. Xerox has a benefits website, so using the active link through the company I was able to sign up another account. So basically I sign into Xerox, and I go through their link. From what I heard, I can't do it more than once, but this time was able to do it twice using my personal email too. My friend got his order confirmation. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
[Atrix 4G General] RedSpyderX:
Y U NO BURST MY BUBBLE!?!?! lol...
[Atrix 4G General] Fixter:
At&t said the same thing. Your phones data will not work when you get it. Either that or you'll receive a message in the next couple of mins saying that your plan has change.
[Atrix 4G General] Masterface7:
I would be interested in hearing more about this.

how much would one have to pay for an iphone plan (did you mean to say 2nd generation? or did you mean to say the original iphone without 3g)

I am pretty interested in getting an atrix but no unlimited Internet especially for a larger price than my current plan is a dealbreaker.
[Atrix 4G General] Fixter:
If you are a new customer you wont have Unlimited Data. Case closed.
[Atrix 4G General] Masterface7:
That is what I though but the dude said he worked for ATT so maybe he knows something.
[Atrix 4G General] Fixter:
I work for At&t. I've had the Atrix since the 19. No unlimited data. Trust me.
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
I've heard about that iPhone 2G loophole. You supposedly get it and activate it through your computer and it gives you the option to get an unlimited data plan. Once it's active you have unlimited data on your plan, then you switch phones and the unlimited data on your new phone.

If you google it you should be able to get more info.
[Atrix 4G General] boostedneonsrt4:
Bingo. That's the only way if you don't already have it. Lucky for me I'm grandfathered in. I may try to find an original iPhone and see if it will work on my other line though. It was 20 a month for unlimited data and 200 text

What about this scenario?

I scanned trough this Thread and have this question.

Can I keep my "PDA Personal Max" Feature? I got my Atrix with Laptop Dock today.

Love it, by the way.

Although, with the "PDA Personal Max" Feature, I am not able to use the Laptop Dock, every time I open up Firefox it tells me to call AT&T or turn on WIFI.

Question, will they allow me to keep "PDA Personal Max" Feature and use the Laptop Dock somehow?

I'll call them tomorrow to see, but maybe somebody knows here, thanks already.

P.S.

PDA Personal Max > Unlimited Data (well, I heard cap is around 5 GB) + 1500 TXT Messages for $ 39.99
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
Supposedly the only way to get the laptop dock to work is with their required tethering plan, which is such BS!! So, they most likely would like for you to change data plans. I say you root your phone and get one of those mobile wifi apps. From what I've read rooting this phone is easy!

Did you pay full price (499) for the dock??
[Atrix 4G General] mg170:
No I have two lines I upgraded one of my lines without the "PDA Personal Max", chose the 45.00 plan which includes tethering. But I am using it on my other line right now with the "PDA Personal Max". Got the phone with Laptop Dock for $499.00.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
So, to throw in my experience with getting an Atrix with unlimited data. I currently have an iPhone 4 (have had AT&T for almost 10 years, had an iPhone with unlimited data since the plan was first available) with unlimited data. I ordered the Atrix laptop dock bundle with the 4gb data pro and tethering package as a second line on my account to get the discount pricing (and to avoid having to pay $200+ for early term on my iPhone). At that point, they swapped the devices on the two lines. Atrix is now on my main line with unlimited data and texting, same plan that my iPhone was on. The second line has my iPhone, with the 4gb and tethering package which I then immediately switched to the $25/2gb package. It's $9.99 for extra phone service, so I'm paying an additional $35/mo for the iPhone still, but I had planned on giving it to a friend who will pay the additional fee.

Came from my $50 unlimited plan grandfathered in but found out no 4g on it. So gave some lip and 30 mins later.....

[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
I spoke to an At&T rep today at one of the stores and mentioned the issue about people being told they can't keep their unlimited data plan if they get one of the 4G phones and she told me that is a lie! She also said which ever rep says that is giving wrong information and they don't know what they're doing cause she has been able to keep unlimited data for those that switched from 3G phones to the Inspire or Atrix.

[General Topics] iDroidFan:
Interesting concept but why make the whole cartridge thing? I don't think many people will be swapping out the internals of their phone often enough to justify it.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Nice concepts!
[General Topics] galaxys:
Interesting...like the size & curves!
[General Topics] missparker76:
I had already seen pictures of the concept and find it gorgeous :)

I wouldn't be interested by the multiple cartridges (I had already the dual boot on my former HD2 and for my daily use I don't see the point in sticking with more than 1 OS. It's cool for testing but otherwise ...Just my opinion ;)).
[General Topics] Step666:
I have to agree with this point.

I just don't see the concept clicking with what customers want.

The only possible advantage IMO would be that if you dropped your phone and damaged the casing or screen, you could quickly and easily replace it yourself but beyond that, it doesn't seem like practical concept.
[General Topics] pulser_g2:
I would love a cartridge based phone that would let me have multiple ROMs loaded onto the cartridges, and switch OS by rebooting with another one.

Not for everyday use, but rather for developing :)
[General Topics] trick2:
cool, al like this

For the interest of the cartridge, more than the choice of the hardware level (and of the price !!!...), you will see soon the part 2 of this concept ... In next few days ...
[General Topics] reyesonifigo:
good :)

i like this design.
[General Topics] rTiGd2:
What if the concept was beyond just the cartridge though? After all, a smaller cartridge footprint could enable you to have the internals in different housings. For example, a much smaller housing for a more discrete phone, say for going out in the evening, when you don't want the bulk but still want all your 'stuff'?

Or a rugged housing for sports/camping/mountain biking/etc?

Or perhaps an in-vehicle version where you just slot the thing into a console in the vehicle, rather than the phone into a cradle?

Finally, you could have an at home/office version where you slot it into a small footprint dock that has higher spec hardware but still uses the data and applications on the device.

I personally can see far more uses for the internals in other housings idea rather than the single housing, multiple internals. That said, both would work together as you can use any internal module in any housing..
[General Topics] strangey666:
From a manufacturer's point of view this *could* work. One standard screen/housing/connections with multiple options of different phones "internals".

Interesting idea.
[General Topics] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I agree with this point completely. I'm actually already sorta doing this type of thing by swapping my SIM card to and from my Galaxy Tab and my Galaxy S. I'll usually bring my Tab with me to work, but use my Galaxy S for when I'm traveling light and hanging out with friends etc.

It would be even cooler though if my semi-internal hardware cartridge could remain powered on while I hot-swap it from my phone to my tablet to my desktop dock or car dock etc etc. THAT would be super cool, and practical. Kinda like what Motorola is trying to do with the Atrix, but maybe in a more elegant manner.
[General Topics] SwiftLegend:
It's more practical and cost efficient if you think about it. This is a really slick and just awesome design, but what if you hardly use your phone? You aren't going to need a 1.5 Dual Core processor with a 12 MP camera, you may just want the starter pack.

Then people don't have to pay for a high end phone with features they aren't going to use. It's actually really smart and practical....I like it.

You need to send this to HTC, go to the manufacturing plant, and start building this phone!

EDIT: I just went on your site, and you really need to send these ideas to HTC or something. You have some really nice ideas, designs, and talent..I'd seriously buy all of these phones.
