[GUIDE] The latest guide to xperia x8 roms and mods

UPDATED: Saturday, February, 25th 2012
DISCLAMER:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: THOSE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE MENTIONED ARE WHAT WORKED FOR ME AND OTHER USERS> and when you read this thread,dont just read half or parts of it, read it properly, form start to finish!​Hi there dear reader welcome to my guide with new questions new roms and much much more things. It's The latest guide to roms and mods for the x8!!​1. we do not accept trolling here. i do not want a flame war here.
2. these mainly benefits me and other rom testers ect.
3.click here for my FAQ that gets updated every week
right onto the guide iitself.
Rooting​Rooting your phone is what you need to do before you install custom roms, modules, and kernels. Rooting means you have superuser access to your phone. a bit like a special admin on a computer. having superuser rights means you also have the power to change you system stuff, delete a system app, add modifications and so on. if you wish to root your phone then click here
great, you'v rooted your phone i hope, now for the fun stuff...
Basebands and kernels​I know that many people have baseband 006. you cant install roms with your baseband at 006 so you will have to change it to 015. unless your phone already has 015. for the baseband collection thread clickthis
i have also found a thread with a custom kernel. its linuxdx by doixanh. for the thread click here
Also a guide on building a kernel. click here for that
Roms:​welcome to the rom part of this thread. custom roms are custom android versions, that can easily be modified and customized, they are more than just your average android. most of them are based on cm6 or cm7 or cm6 mini.
here are a couple of gingerbread roms i have found and tested.
gingerbread roms:​Gingercruzt by frogy furnetal.
Gingerdx by doixanh
minicm7
froyo roms
froyo pro by XDA-RK
Froyobread by doixanh
sense roms by ratch
how to install custom roms:​Now, custom roms are actually quite easy to install. as long as you follow the instructions bellow.
1. copy the rom to your sd card. no subfolder just the normal folder on its own on the sdcard.
2.boot into xrecovery (for more about recoveries click here, its my FAQ you will find info there
3.go to install custom .zip
it should come up with a load of folders you have on your phone. go to the bottom where you will find your rom and choose that.
4. install it and wait...
5. once installed, do a full wipe before rebooting or you could get stuck on rebooting.
5. your done!
Modifications.​Right now on to the mods.
some people want dual touch or pinch to zoom for their phones.
well, guess what, you can.
if you have cypress chip on your phone (real dual touch) click here
If you have synaptics (fake pinch to zoom) then click here
If you want to overclock your phone then click here
If you want linuxdx then click Here
how to install linuxdx (and other kernels)​I do have a thread about bootloaders and kernels but since i put it in my modifactions section i decided to put a TuT:
grab flashtool 2.9.1 (hard to get hold of but it is the only flashtool that works with flashing kernels, i do have it and i have flashed linuxdx v004 and alfs kernel v05 so i will load up the download file for flashtool 2.9.1)(click here to download flashtool 2.9.1 move linuxdx v004 .ftf to flashootl/firmwares
and open x10flashtool (works with x8 dont worry) click flash and choose file. then follow the onscreen instructions... (plug in x8 whilst holding back button, wait for a few minutes as some coding will show up on the computer screen, then it will say its done and you can disconnect your phone) once completed rebbot phone and enjoy!!!YOU MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER TO LOAD CUSTOM KERNELS!
Recently asked questions!
Hello guys! i decided to update my thread and tell you about more recently asked questions:
How to unlock bootloader:
Answer: There is this thing called search bar, use it because there is more than just 2 threads about unlocking bootloader, actually there is a about 5
Why do i get a hard brick after unlocking my phones bootloader?
Answer: Check your date on the back of the phone: It should have a date such as 11w28 etc. If it is 11w32 and above, then stay away from the bootloader, it will only end up in tears. Many threads about this too, use the search button
Can we run IOS on our x8?
Answer: Are you crazy? check my post here for more. If your thinking of porting it or anything (not that it will ever happen )
if you have anymore things you want me to add, then post a reply saying so.
also check out my FAQ
this will be updated every week.
Also, how did you get to this thread? via my sig, or via searching the forums or searching google?

[DISCUSSION] - CM9 discussion thread

As I posted in the dev thread let's bring the chit chat into the general forum and keep the dev thread on topic and clear for people to help the devs move this rom forward.
So this thread is for all the GENERAL CM9 discussion.

Everybody suck

Despite this, people will still go to the development thread to ask questions, request features, banal talks... etc.

Maybe use this thread to summarise FAQ's found in the other thread (and subsequently this thread)
Edit the first post to stay on top of things?
In summary, no exfat on CM9, use ext4 format if you must have files over 4Gb (that's all I know so far, I don't have CM9 installed yet)

*subbed*
Get xplod to put a link to this thread in the development OP? A link to that thread from here wouldnt hurt either

is there a way to block calls in cm9? (without having to install an apk from the market)

I don't have phone yet; however, was wondering if on cm9, do you still have the same camera function as with touchwiz, like fast burst, best shot, taking pic while recording? I don't really care about losing s voice.

By the way great rom, I moved from Galaxy S II and was surprised to find it on the S III so fast.

I don't think that's what he was looking for. And I'm not sure if you can just apply the crt animations from CM9 to stock ROM.

If it's like on linux i guess you need to install an mtp library to get it working (i.e. mtpfs).

Android File Transfer worked fine on stock using PTP and works great with my friends Gnex. Googled mtpfs for OS X but nobody seems to have had any success.
Hope codeworkx & XpLoDWilD are able to get mass storage working.

Would Android beam on CM9 work with S-beam? Ie someone on stock samsung rom uses s-beam to communicate with me on android bean, no issues?

Could we use NTFS on the 64Gb SD card on the GSIII using CM9?
If not.. could I somehow parition the microSD card into x2 32Gb partitions, one ext4 the other ExFAT that way I can run with this until one of the other prevails? I only like copying data once....

Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly - softbricks, bootloops, edify, etc]

If you are serious about Android then be prepared to read - that is the one thing which will separate you from the average user.
To get you started you will need to know a few basics before you can start contributing to a community which has dedicated themselves in bringing better Operating Systems (Roms) to our phones. By knowing these basic steps you will be able to help iron out bugs from whatever Rom you have decided to keep on your phone and thus, improving your own user experience.
If you are completely new to this then you should read Glevitan's Starter Guide. It contains everything you need to know and it is a mandatory prerequisite before you can post in this thread seaking help.
Now that you have read and understood some of the terminology and how to recover from possible issues, you can root your phone with the A high-level DHD/Inspire manual S-OFF hack concept for advanced users [NOTE: The AAHK HAS BEEN RETIRED FOR NOOBS. IT IS FOR ADVANCE USERS ONLY. REFER TO THIS STICKY INSTEAD [How to] ROOT without the Hack Kit] Even if you do encounter issues, knowing the terminology, what you did and what went wrong will help communicating your issue so we can find a way to solve it. If you read the starter guide you should know that we don't recommend using HTC dev to unlock your bootloader. However, if you did go this route you can read this helpful guide: [NOOB] Flashing a custom ROM & getting it to boot IF bootloader is htcdev unlocked. And finally, our own resident and esteemed Glevitan is working on a tool to make it easier for you all. [ROOT] [TOOL] Easy Ace Root Tool
After having spent some time in the XDA threads reading a lot more than what you should post, you will have realized that almost any question you could possibly think about has already been asked over a dozen times and why so many emphasize the importance of searching for your answer first. You would also come to realize what are the benefits of setting up ADB. Among one of ADB (Android debug Bridge - [GUIDE] ADB - Usage, Tips, Tricks and More! and [GUIDE]ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone) uses is creating logcats. These logcats help developers finding what is causing a bug and how to fix it. This is a quick [Tutorial] How To Logcat. However, this quick tutorial will only help you get started. Keep in mind that apps like aLogcat or Catlog could shorten important output from the log. Another one: Learn to logcat like a Pro!
To be able to help developers create a better user experience for us, we need to create a bug report. The reason why we first need to search the forum is to avoid confusing the developer by cluttering the thread with repeated reports, of bugs and questions which as mentioned earlier, most likely have already been asked. To have a better understanding of the different instances we can create logs, then have a look at: [TUT]Report a bug I do believe this can not be emphasized enough and thus, what better way than reading it from existz own words.

INDEX
ABSTRACT
The present document pretends to guide the noobs and not so noobs in their flashing / modding / theming way. It covers what the team thought is the basic stuff you should be in knowledge of and may be the most helpful. Any suggestions about the contents or stuff that you think should be included are welcomed, just let us know.
Guide Index
1.Basic Stuff: In this section you will find the common language that is related to Android / HTC Ace devices. This is fundamental for you to understand how things work.
2.Rooting: THIS IS OUT OF SERVICE...CHECK THE UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER TOOL IN PARAGRAPH 4
3.Fixing a messed bootloader: You are not good at listening advices or reading for comprehension. You flashed a froyo RUU or hboot in your GB shipped device? Thank God attn1 was around. This is the Hboot fix for you. All credits go for the Hack Kit Channel devs. I have not done anything but put it here
4.HTCDEV tool: So far, this is the best and only way to do the flashing stuff....
5.Unrooting: In case you need to take your phone to the service centre or lost your mind and want the stock rom back (is there anybody that actually does? :cyclops ) you will find everything you need to know here.
6.Flashing roms: The right steps to flash successfully a custom rom…you can´t miss it. If you do, then you haven´t read carefully.
7.Doing / Restoring a nandroid backup: In case you mess it or you don't like what you get on a new rom, a nand backup is what will save your A**. Follow the path and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
8.Radio / RILs: All the radio / RILs related issues, follow this or you will regret it!!
9.Kernels: Everything you always wanted to know about kernels but you didn't dare to ask. Links on line now..:silly:
10.Trouble shooting: I guess this will be the most visited section of the guide. OF COURSE YOU DIDN´T READ THE ABOVE. NOW YOU ARE HERE BUDDY FIX YOURSELF A GOOD READ
11.Customization: For those who would like to start customizing your devices, here you will find a good point of start but THIS IS JUST THE BEGUINNING [/QUOTE]
12.Battery drain issues: I HAVE FLASHED A NEW ROM AND MY BATTERY IS DRAINING WAY TO FASSSSSST!. Well that could be normal, just read and learn before you run out of battery...lol
Find the document here: http://d-h.st/Ii2

FAQ & Notice
FAQ :
What Is the Best Battery,Performance GB/ICS/JB ROM?
There is no best ROM, the opinion of each ROM is different from one person to the other, it is subjective.
Is there a recommended Radio for ROM x?
There isn't a recommended radio for any ROM, since the Radio depends where you live, it is best to test each one for a few days to see which one works best for you.
Can I Flash RIL For AOSP ROM?
No, the RIL is sense based ROM,AOSP RIL is provided in the ROM
How Can I Boot in Recovery/Bootloader if My Volume Rocker is Broken?
You must setup adb and then the command:
adb reboot recovery/bootloader
Why Don't We Have Any OFFICIAL CM9 ROM?
Because the CM team always makes everything work (camera, camcorder, etc) and since we don't have the kernel 3.0 source, there isn't any OFFICIAL CM ROM from them.
Is There Any Official Rooted Sense 3.0 ROM?
Yes, There it is
Notice when Posting On the Dev Thread :
Please Read the First Post, It Usually Stated What's Working and Not Working
Don't Post Any THANKS, just use the thanks button
Don't Even Ask ETA of the ROM, the ROM will update when it's ready
Full Wipe Is Recommended when Updating the ROM, but also can try it without (this is basic,even if it's not stated on 1st post)

ADB is easy, very simple to use. Its the CLI interface that most cannot get used to and are afraid of.
A great XDA guide/overview on ADB here. --> [GUIDE] ADB - Usage, Tips, Tricks and More!

After a full wipe including sd card, to restore a backup mount sd card to pc, create the folder "clockworkmod/backup" place backup there - unmount, flash.
Is there a way to flash a backup using adb? If yes, do the folders need to be created or not and what would the command be? I couldn't find an answer for that.
Edit: Answer is no. Why? I have no clue.

@hdorius - what do you know to do? Didn't you port paranoidandroid? The faq's look good but needs some editing/correction. Where are you from? What's your first language? Do you need help with that?
@Guy - what happened buddy? In the previous page I suggested a few things. Apps? It depends what the others think. I don't see this as a standard.
@miukkuman - where are you?
By the way, where are you from? What do you know to do in the android world or what are you interested in learning?
@everyone - the idea behind this thread is:
- I rather ask each one of you to tell me what you understood which is the idea behind this thread - what you understood. If you didn't understand then I'll need to find a better way to explain myself.

ok, before sending the file via PM, I can answer you...there's no choice of restoring a backup from adb. That is the same as flashing a Custom Rom....those files are packed in a certain way that won't be possible to be flashed in hboot (PD98IMG.zip) way.

Thanks bub, so no can do. I don't believe in 'no can do's
Did you read my question about the hboot interface in the other thread? This, and the above question is simply a language (which I know absolutely nothing about) - there must be a way to get them talking to each other.

Anything you like really, it's your show. Porting? There are plenty guides for that. If you know any good ones I can link them in the third post. Can you look through the ones I posted to see which are good and if there are any ones that are repetitive or if there are better ones than the ones I posted? Especially the flashable zip link, since I don't know anything about that, maybe there is a betrer one or a guide or a tool for it?
I'll pm you in about 20 minutes.

Greets to all
Greets to all from another noob. Well, not a complete noob but a noob here on XDA given my few posts. My deep thanks for allowing a thread where sometimes there just might not be such a thing as a stupid question but honest ones instead,.... Hoping I can contribute something here as an owner of a softbank DHD here in Kyoto, Japan aka the 001HT. I spend alot of time trying to dig up general info from all over the i'net to help answer questions especially for ACE owners so I hope that might be of some help. Grant Barker's homepage is a great resource, (hope its allowed to mention that~). My first minor contribution------ 64GB MicroSD card usage with the DHD. It may already be well-known but for all us noobs who aren't too sure make no mistake..... I have the SanDisk Class 10 64GB MicroSD card and it works flawlessly in my DHD. Since I like to pack lots of MP3's and several full-length HD movies into my handset (helps keep the kids quiet on long drives ) being able to have that much storage space is a blessing! So, just to reiterate, 64GB microSD card--- no problems!

My deep thanks for allowing a thread where sometimes there just might not be such a thing as a stupid question but honest ones instead,....

Thanks for the feedback Blashpemer666, hopefully you manage to refrain yourself in front of the kids.
Absolutely, we were all noobs, still are and probably remain being noobs. There is too much information to cover and too little time to do it in. We here are just trying to return to the community what they have given us by helping the new members whenever they need it and whenever we can, to the best of our knowledge, by pointing them in the right direction. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Check the second post, it has been updated.
@glevitan, pm.ed you.
@hdorius, same to you. There are a few mistakes in the pm I sent.

To OP: You also get the contents of this mod from XDA or any other kitchen and sources, imagine how if they don't share these useful information and kitchens..? You won't be able to release anything.
Since you've get something useful from this community, you should share it and allow other to modify it.

Xperia SP deodexed Rom development..

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the world of android.I have been using various android devices untill now and recently got this beast.
Thus i want to let you all know that i am in process to develop a custom stock rom unlike the Galaxies and Senses...
Key features i am incorporating as of now are
1) Fully deodexed stock rom with extended kernel full root cwm capability.
2) Bloatwares removed with addons from xperia Z
3)Perfectly matched launcher with best performance and battery.
4)Based upon user community request.additional functionality to be added.
I would definately require everyone's support and donation in order to make this a master piece.
I am opening up this thread provided xda moderators give a heads up for a general discussion on what requirements we have.
Thank you and i will be constantly updating you on the status of the rom.
Also look forward for some hosting space.
Thank you

Would love to be a tester for your custom rom Tks bro!

I don't know why, but I can't deodex rom of this device like before. All processes are successful but I got bootloop when I tried to copy it back to my XSP.

All xdalites,
Thank you for your valued suggestions.I have already modified and deodexed the. 284 base firmware and now fixing the bootloops..But i think we can nail it..Let u all know shortly..

Excellent!

Hi all,
just got my SP last week, and very satisfied with it, now i knew what the meaning of project butter smooth, i'm from X10 section (pretty old phone and need to work harder to make it run faster, lol) .
So. ... i'm in on this!!!
Sofar there are some weakness on this phone that i can see, such as :
- Status Bar, i will port Serajr's one on this phone.
- Reboot options on the power menu, and another wellknown MOD(s) need to provide.
- Sound quality through earphone (cuz my X10 with some mod on sound lib(s) can to beat SP stock very easy, according to my test on my ears for sure ).
- General background supossed to be black, i think.
- Bloatware remover and some usefull tweaks, such as ram management, i think we should have more than 500 MB on anytime instead of 430+ MB, etc etc.
- Porting stuff for some well known apps from another devices, etc.
BUT, this gonna 'kill' my monthly internet quota since the rom's size little TOO BIG to upload from here, so lets see it later.
EDIT :
I think we better wait for JB 4.2.2, perhaps SONY gonna release it soon, just suggestion.
Regards
