[Q] PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just rooted my phone - XPERIA X8 General
Hey guys...Im a newbie in all these kinda stuffs... if ur pro, passing by here please drop a comment to help me. u don't really have to answer all questions r.....
If u feel lazyy to answer me just gime a link which can answer me. MANY THANKS!
SE x8 don't support Flash Player, so i cant play
vids on browser but i know that when rooted, my phone's OS or ROM ( or something similar) can be changed , and many different "things" can be done, my questions are : Is supporting flash player included in the "things"?Which OS or ROM should i change to? Someone suggested me Skyfire Web Browser.. I was stunned... LOL I don't need a browser which can support flash! i needa phone which can support flash player.
Im a newbie and my knowledge is, originally our phones are running on stock roms(which don't allow many things to be done) , once rooted, we can change the stock roms to customized roms...
And we can turn our phone into phones like HTC Desire or G1 or Samsung Galaxy...I NOE IM NOOB PLEASE CORRECT ME!
Everytime i did try to do research on how to make my phone better after rooting, but everytime i view a thread, i will be like
" ****! what u guys talking man ..The words u guys use are killing me...i don't get u guys at all.."
so here are some noob questions please help me :
1)What is/are
modules?
sense? ive seen some people say they can make their X8 run on HTC sense?
firmware?
build number? mine is 2.0.1.a.0.47 , people say there is 2.1.1.bla.bla.bla. Should i and how to update ? (MY X8 is already rooted)
i've found out that, its a should to upgrade my phone to 2.1.1 , as many latest customized ROMs like gingerbread and froyo can be supported on 2.1.1 only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941458&page=8 ,
i dont get him. if i wanna upgrade, should upgrade then re-root my phone or what
xRecovery?
Jit?
Floyo? Froyo? Gingerbread? are they just themes or what..? What's the advantages of installing them?
Flashing ROMs?
SI number?
2) How to get
multitouch works on x8
flash player works on x8
WHY some people can have their x8s running on android 2.2 or 2.3? WHen running on 2.2 2.3, what's the advantages
IM REALLY CONFUSED NOW DONT KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST NOW! first step should be updating my firmware to 2.1.1.a.0.6 eh?
answer
to answer some of your questions, skyfire does support flash and gingerbread, froyo, floyo and all those are roms (operating systems for the phone). you can get gingerbread themes for the older roms. i am actually just after figuring everything out and i just flashed my phone with the latest gingerbread rom
xRecovery = something like a "boot programme" with this you can buck up, mount sd card on case your phone broke down, update to an othed rom, put themes.. And many more... Is the next step after roof.
Jit= something like a programme... But not a programme, it make your phone faster.
Update: depends on your country... Make an update from cp companion.
Multytouch / Dualtouch : not availiable, developers are trying to crack bootloader and some others port it as a module.
Module: if you are not an expert on linux, u dont need to know what this is , its something like help drivers I think...
Flash on x8: Adobe release flash for android 2.2 but last offisial version was 2.1 ... Only easy way to install it is to flash your phone with a rom 2.2 and up, for x8 (with xRecovery)
(no unoffisial rom is realy stable but there are good enought.)
Android 2.2 and up: x2-x5 faster, the speed defference is realy big, so u can get more from your device.
Is: I think this is a code of your phone , a signature of the country it comes from, used on update.
There are some othes simillar numbers like it, ex. Market number...
This is what I know... maybe I am wrong.
1.You can have flash in 2.2 and above ROM..but atm,i dont think theres is fully working
ROM yet to play with it..most of dev a trying their best to make completed ROM,so please be patient a bit.You can try Racht or Jarpelea ROM which is the best rite now for X8, search for it in X8 Android Developement Section.
2.Yes every phone is shipped with stock ROM and we need to rooted it to be able to customized it, Yes you can also turn your phone like HTC Desire or G1 or Samsung Galaxy but in what thing? if u said ROM,you'll have to wait for dev to port the ROM to our X8. and if u said about theme,theres alot of theme,app that can change ur X8 interface to htc,g1.
3.As an regular user, idont think u have to know what modules is,its related to system driver or kernel that u dont want to messed with.Sense is a theme that available on every HTC phone, what their mean by "X8 run on HTC sense" is there a able to use HTC Sense theme on our X8..have u ever see Sense clock? the square white flip clock that available on every HTC phone, thats one of it.
Firmware is also known as official [email protected] from SE like ROM and App.
2.0.1.a.0.47 << this is an old ROM, the latest one is 2.1.1.A.0.6..Yes u should have to update as every update mean better performance, and bug fix..u can update via PC Companion..updating will clear all your data in internal memory, so it doest matter if you already rooted,PC Companion will install new ROM and you have to rooted it again. Yes you are rite, most of dev customized their rom based on latest [email protected] available..Yes again,update will wipe all your things located in internal memory and be replaced with the new one, so upgrade through PC companion and rerooted again.
xRecovery is an app that able u to [email protected] modified system file,able to backup and restored your whole phone if something goes wrong,able to [email protected] [email protected] ROM and many others,i can say it a must have app if u always want to messed with ROM @ custom file from dev.
JIT mean JUST IN TIME,its a file that able to boost your cpu and at the same time save you battery (for me) what is mean by Just In Time is,when u used this file,cpu will only be used when needed eg.opening app,playing games.
Floyo? Froyo? Gingerbread? <<<its a name of ROM,floyo is modified ROM name taken from Froyo which is official Adroid ROM..2.1 (Eclair),2.2 (Froyo),2.3 (Gingerbread)..we are 2.1 which is eclair.
Flashing Roms same a isntalling new rom,upgrading new rom,changing rom to ne one.used xrecovery to flash new rom.
SI number as i know is country code number that determined your location.let say:
2.1.1.A.0.6 for ORANGE <<<build number ORANGE is carrier
SI 1241-4645 <<<<Location code,we cant have same SI number as him if we are from diff location.
multitouch works on x8 <<<Not yet until dev able to [email protected]@modified SE bootloader,multitouch need a driver that properly start whan device boot
(bootloader is SE app that check every driver on every boot,every driver have some sort of SE sign to determined the officiality of the file)
WHY some people can have their x8s running on android 2.2 or 2.3? WHen running on 2.2 2.3, what's the advantages.
==because dev already port the ROM to suitable with X8, that y they can have it running on our X8. 2.2 and 2.3 is a latest build,as you know latest build mean better performance,latest things added in the ROM,and flash can only be run on that ROM..thats the advantage!!
Yes,i think u should update your phone first.
Here you go,hope that i already answering all ur quest.
Arghhhhh thanks so muchhhhh guys. XD
when updated, my phone's internal memory will be cleared up..including all the SYSTEM APPS? then automatically in the new ROM i will have the same SYSTEM APPS as in a newly bought phone?
and i used link2sd, apps that i linked to sd will be wiped away too?

[Q] new android user need help :)
hi there. i got my legend 3 days ago i got it from some guy that used it for a while, he told me that it has installed superuser whit it the phone can run normaly, including updates, reading every simcards etc.... now i've read that for legend is released 2.2 sw, but my phone is running on 2.1-update1 and dont show me new updates when i click to check for it... so guys plss can some of you post me here a step by step tutorial what should i do to get my phone running on froyo or gingerbread if its possible ty in advanced confused android user
There's already plenty of tutorials in Development / stickies, some are not stickied, so you might have to search a bit... As for the update, best way for you check few ROMs and install via ROM manager since you are rooted... B0.7 is particulary good one
ok i manager to install cyanogenmod 6.1 on my legend works great btw why i cant login my acc on XDA app in phone?
you can go to the market and download Rom Manager... my preferred way in managing rom. it can download rom too ;-), if you found new rom that you want to test other than the ones found in Rom Manager. download it and put it on the root of your sd card so that its easy to look for. eg. Blay0's B 0.7 rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849 or CM7 from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=legend and remember to Wipe Data and Cache if its a new ROM to avoid boot loop. you can then use "Manage and Restore Backups" to jump between roms that you've backup or rename them to not get mix-up... Have fun ^^
how to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1
I need to downgrade to 2.1 or if i could to lower than 2.1 ., and install ruu older ROM if i could., there are some thread on how to do it., but with no links or files to download for the incredible ., I do not want to guess which file to download and where to find it and if its the right file . I can go to few of the RUU , but pretty much the ones with 3.30 .70 .. and i think 29 ., if i need to try the older ruu like 147 651... the evo crashes ., so i think the only way to install these ROM is to downgrade to 2.1 .No? so please if one knows of a way to do so ,advise me . or if you know of a link or tutorial for the evo with all files names ... etc would be great ., this way i dont have to guess and brick the phone . any good feed back is appreciated ., sincerely
why do you want to downgrade? and you need to be rooted to do it btw.
Iam rooted . well i need to install one of the old radios ., the i tried to intall the older radios but the phone would freeze and i have to end up reinstalling the supersonic ROM., like RUU 3.29 or higher.so i could not install the older radios .., I need to repair few locations of the meids and ive been scanning for weeks and cant find them. so i quit .i hope thid would be my last resort ,if i install older ROM with older radio i can fix it. sincerely
what hardware are you on? i dont think the newer hardware can handle 2.1 cuz it was never built for it.

Click to collapse okwassup said: if i need to try the older ruu like 147 651... the evo crashes Click to expand... Click to collapse First off, I don't know if this is a troll post or not. Second, I'm assuming if its not a troll post, you are ESL, or something. Your grammar and punctuation needs some... work. However, what I'm reading is that your evo is crashing when you are flashing a rom. I've got to ask, did you wipe the data before trying to flash a rom? Its kind of important. The android version (2.2, 2.1 ect.) is what android version the rom is built off of. To downgrade this, you simply need to find an older rom, and flash it. On top of that, you probably need to downgrade your recovery. The two recovery threads in the Android Development section have pretty much every every single version from 1.0 in their mirrors, so you should be fine there. However, I haven't seen a 2.1 rom for the Evo, but I'm new to the scene.
I still got 2.1 Rom if u dos search for omj eclair on Google u can still find it. If u really want to downgraded try using the very first PC36IMG.zip from toastch rooting method it will downgrade for ya. Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Good luck with the downgrade and stuff. I don't know what situations call for running radios that were around back when Eclair was out...
Shipped-roms.com? Ruu maybe all the way back to the launch rom...
people do crazy things, like eat at Arby's
when i try to install an older supersonic RUU ,for example 1.32.651.1 Radio 1.39.00.04.26., the process start ok then the phone progress bar goes from green to red vibrate few times and continues to just about the end ,then gives error on PC ..didnt complete ..etc.howeveer, when i try to boot EVO, no go i have to reinstall a new RUU like the 3.70...., and no i do not wipe info before i install the ROm,and have no idea how to do that ., i thought a new or old rom would do the wipe clean data etc.., so how would i need to go about doing this .? again thank you all and yes its a new EVO hardware version 0003
what's your hboot as of now?
herbthehammer said: Shipped-roms.com? Ruu maybe all the way back to the launch rom... Click to expand... Click to collapse http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/ This is what ^ means...all the RUUs...have at it.
the Hboot i have know is 2.10.0001., and have radio 2.15.00.07.28., thats because i installed RUU supersonic 3.29...., this is more or less as low as i can go and i cant install an earlier radio .or the phone will crash and i have to reinstall the RUU again., the phone is rooted with unrevoked but i didnt do the nandroid unlock., because cant get the sdk platform to work on my pc....etc yes i know there are shipped roms ...etc ,but again i cant install whatever i want., the phone will crash ., the lowest i did from 3.70 to 3.29 , again i would want to install 132 .651 ..., but it wont install it.??, so thats why i think i need to downgrade to 2.1 ..etc ., if not what do i need to do please. sincerely
ok then it might be because your phone is too new... still confused on why you want it. check for an old rom in rom manager and download old radios in calkulin's thread. try that.
yeah it wont take older roms or older radios ., would have been simple if it did ., so the answer is i cant .? so i cant downgrade to 2.1 ?, even if bootloader is newer than older evo.? well why i need to do it is a subject here they do not want us to talk about but oh well., when the phone was new never been activated had the MEID repaird on it., just downgraded to older rom and was easy indeed to zero out the digits ., few weeks went buy resetting the phone and doing 786 ., the meid digits changed to where HTC had them., and know been weeks trying to redo that ,I cant i mean weeks all day till night ., some meids wont pop ., but they are hidding ., so they say if i go older radio should be easy or easier . thats all folks , any ideas sincerely
hah i have no idea how to mess with that stuff... good luck though.
so thats it you quit on me just like that ., you have no idea how i can downgrade radio or ruu to the 2.1 era .?, iam willing to test sincerely
i don't think you are rooted any longer. do you have s-off? if you ran the ruu without being fully rooted you most likely don't have root anymore but i may be wrong. i would say run unrevoked again and full unlock including the nand and you should be able to flash any radio and rom you want.
when i install an RUU ., and i try to do a recovery ., indeed it does not go to the menu it should ., it gives me the picture of the phone... and i think a circule of some sort., but i rooted it many times ., but no nand unlock ., again could not figure out how to run it. so ok lets say what you say might work ,is there a an auto nand unlock here or there i can use . sincerely
I think you really need to do a better job of searching instead of just asking question and having other people help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 Also, read up on some of the basics. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701245

My X8 has 2.1.1.C.0.0 i want to get rid of 2.1 and try 2.2 and 2.3 roms...i want you to give me some ideas which rom to try on...i want app2sd native of course cause in 2.1 i have a partition with all my apps radio and no reboots ! is there any rom that fullfil my standards? even VGA cam i don't mind !
I can safely recommend FroyoBread for 2.2 it is Very Stable and Fast and lots of Gingerbread Customizations it got some bugs like but nothing MAJOR >Video-Audio Recording is out of Sync >Camera Crashing after Couple of Shots >Bluetooth Upload/Download Icon not showing >Bluetooth Headset sometime Audio skips >and some Status Icon is not themed right(like FM icon) If you can live with that, and this ROM is Good for you, Battery life really depends on how you use you're phone, i can get atleast 2days on medium use.
Not meant to be rude but i would just start to read cooked roms topics FIRST post and you will find all your answers. Every chefs has a Menù, there isn't any waitress around.

[Q] Which Android version ?
Hi. I'm a bit in doubt on which verion of Android is on my GT540. I think it's 2.1, but want to know if it's correct. Please see the link here: Oh, I'm so new, that I'm not allowed to show links :-( I then do it this way: Firmwareversion: 2.1-update 1 Kernelversion:2.6.29 If it is 2.1, and I want to upgrade, shall I then follow which versions ? I mean is there an order of hierarchy ?, and if so how does that look ?
Yes it seems you are running official LG 2.1 rom. If you wish to update it you can jump directly to any rom you like 2.2 2.3 or 4.0 . Just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
@-Grift- Hi and many thanks for your reply. Was good to know that Another matter if you can tell me it ?. I have installed Navdroyd, and SVOX. I have my mother language to work ok IN SVOX, but not when I run Navdroyd. Should the GT540's built in text-to-speech be deselected, and if so how.
Sorry i dont use Navigation or Text to speech apps
All ok and understood Maybe another one that knows about it will jump in. Thanks anayway
