HELP! 2.3!!!! Help this noob over here =) - XPERIA X8 General

Hey guys, ve recently found out that androids can soon play playstation games. but it requires android 2.3 and above. so for x8s running of android 2.3(eg Gingerbread) can they play the playstation games? and can they support FLVs ?(according to my knowledge flash player needs 2.2 or above)
and also ve found out that sony has stopped updating x8 OS, eclair 2.1 is the latest and last ( or something like that) but since we can change our x8 to other OS like 2.3s , why are so many people still so frustated ? (just want to understand more ~ im a newbie)
I wanna use gingerbread 2.3....HELP
What is cynogen mod 7?
what does flashing roms mean? Why?
What is quadrant?
What should i start with? - Rooted, Link2sd, 2.1.1.a.0.6, the last 3 digits of my Baseband version is 015,
so many stuff - Flashing roms~ JiT ~ xRecovery ~
Which step should i take first? can somebody tell me haha.. just tell me what to do and ill go and search and download and THANK YOU! =)
People say the 2.3 is still not stable yet. Camera not working, wifi not working(but i believe that some of the bugs are fixed).. Can anyone tell me the latest condition? What's not working?
sorry for my bad english. Detail explainations would be lovely!! TT

Hi
I dont know too much about playstation games to x8, but i dont think is so simply.
Flash player will not work in x8 because of cpu limitations
Quadrant: most popular benchmark app for android. See in market
Cyanogen mod is a good custom rom made by a xda member
Flash rom: install a custom rom
The most stable rom at the moment is the minicm 2.2.1 See that topic in x8 developement section. 2.3 is not too stable, has some bugs. Nor recommended for everyday use

Here you have custom rom's made by ratch's (thank's to him for his work)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
you must have Xrecovery instaled when you want to instal na custom ROM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426 here is the thread for xRecovery, see instruction's how to instal it
and beforre you get xRecovery you must root your phone (easyest way with SuperOneClick) search on youtube and you will see how that work...

OK thanks so much and what's Jit? and according to my knowledge xrecovery is for backing up the original firmware we ussing?

thanks dude. btw what dya mean by not recommended for everyday use? r u trying to say that the longer a not-so-good stuff is used in our phones, the more dangerous it will be? and does minicm2.2.1 require anything other than xrecovery?

yes for backup your curent OS and restore new (2.2 or 2.3 android)
I don't know exactly what is Jit, i just know that has to do with performanceof your phone!

for every custom you will need xRecovery, because you restore (or flash) miniCM or ratch's 2.2 or 2.3

Jit= just in time
Android 2.1 translate the java code with precaching, but if you enable jit the code interpreter translating in real time, doesnt use cache. So it is faster

Okay i wanna ask a question
Link2sd needs two partitions in ur sd..i have..One for normal usage and one for apps only.
I just installed cm7 rom and ive found out that it only uses the free space my first partition and the free space of my 1st partition becomes its "everything". so for my cm7 rom, theres no 2nd partition. how can i get link2sd work on my cm7 rom then?

2.3 roms use only fat32 partition. Backup data from sd and format sd as fat32

okay maybe im not detail enough..
i was using stock rom 2.1.1.a.0.6,
and my sd has 2 partitions, both FAT32 , i call them :
a) for normal usage
b) for creating links using link2sd
so now i installed the 2.3rom into (a) and it becomes as if it only has one partition. so im just wondering can we use the partition tool shown in the xrecovery menu to solve this, to divide my (a) into 2 partitions.
Sorry for being noob =)

Install 2.2 Froyo on Xperia X10

How to install Android 2.2 Froyo on Xperia X10????? I am currently running android 2.1 with build number 2.1.A.0.435
I am on AT&T.
Hey man wats up. You have to install xrecovery and root your phone. But if you need a video tutorial go to youtube and subscribe to bluechip. He has a ton of videos on this

Can you give me the link???
I just wanted to flash to android 2.2. I dont want to root it. is it possible?
no.
u'll need root to install xRecovery,
then from the "X10 Android Development", choose a suitable rom for yourself and follow the instructions made by the developer
(Normally roms are installed using xRecovery)

No, there is no official 2.2 ROM for the X10 and there never will be.
So, to install 2.2 you'll need a custom ROM, cooked by the extremely clever and dedicated folk here at XDA. To get a 2.2 ROM on your phone, you need to install xRecovery. To install xRecovery you need to root your phone. If you want to backup your Apps (highly recommended), you need Titanium Backup, which requires root access. All the 2.2 ROMs available include root access.
If you're worried about rooting your phone, you probably need to stick to a stock SE 2.1 ROM.
There's no risk in rooting, you can always unroot without/and/or revert(ing) to your stock. but I'm guessing since you're running the 2.1 (current build) in america, you're not worried about stock. Don't fear the root!
Also, flashing roms with xreovery (also need busybox) is painless, fun and addictive; plus you can make complete backups of your current state, just incase you f-it up

I use CM 6.1.3 v 4.2 and it's the best of all Froyos on x10. But I want my Camera. it dose not work fully.
As long as bootloader is not open, Froyo is just a ROM on to pof 2.1.... so no 100% Froyo
Mugur
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/tag/xperia
but even not being "true" froyo, those custom ROMs still run better than 2.1 and you can use all froyo features like app 2 sd and adobe flash, it's worth a try and even fun to check different builds and see what each dev added.
So far i've tryed rendeiro's and wolfbreak's cyanogen 6.1.3 ROMs, i prefer the later because i like to tweak the UI myself, but both run great.

sure you can, just read threads that Devs post here, then you can choose one of them. first step you have to upgrade to 2.1, root, make sure you have the latest baseband and kernel version. all the step by step tutorial you can find it here. thats all i've done
EDIT : you have donut 2.2.1 version?
i guess i have 2.1 version,sorry i got confused
Donut is the 1.6 version. If you have 2.1 it's Eclair And yes, you can install whichever ROM you wish. The most stable and fully-working would be miniCM 2.2.1, but you might as well flash some of 2.3 ROMs available - check them out, you don't loose anything. Just be sure to have baseband ending with "015", otherwise some features won't work.

It lags in games ten times more than 2.1,not recommend use 2.1 until custom kernels will be succefull loaded to our phones then there will be 2.3.3 with everything working even wi-fi tethering.

you have expert (as-mario) advise here so better stick to 2.1 until dev successfully have fully working kernel.
I'm currently using rachts CM7RC4 but what's the different between rachts and jerqelas?
I'm looking for the fastest ROM and I would like to have a high quadrant score
I'm currently lying around 650-750 with CPU at 710 Mhz
So which one is the fastest android for our X8 using 2.3.3 or is 2.2 faster?
well my has 44,2 FPS in neocore,and that is damn alot.

Thanks to all DEV. Today, big day !

I would like to collecte here all post to say thank you very much for all great dev we have in our X10 Forum
Thx, Zdzihu, Jerpelea, DooMLoRD, TripNaver, 9Lukas5, tsuyo.kou, Wolfbreak, cobrato, rdannar, rendeiro2005, achotjan... and those i forgot forgive me...
Today, we can use Froyo 2.2 roms with Kernel k10.
That mean:
- Overclock capabilities
- FPS cap unlock (no more limited to 33fsp) and every thing so smooth....
- Quandrant score at 1300 pts
- more ram
- Wifi Working
- BT working
- GPS Working
- Proximity sensor working
- Led Flash Working
- Dual touch Working
- Flash 10.3 enable in Browser
- App to SD Working
- Camera
only Video recording at 720P not working... hope it can be fixed...
I'm sure our X10 will get some more tweak, and some surprise in near future...
But today is a leap forward... !!!
It's a Bird ? It's a plane ??? No it's our X10....
Thx all for the time passed
For more info go to dev subsection

Have a good day

I think this will be the first custom kernel I will use. Now i just gotta figure out how to flash this.
Restoring backup of previous ROM. Even with patch I can't get wifi to work with CM Froyo of WolfBreak... Damnit, ROM was soo smooth and that stupid wifi didn't work.

hmmmm wolfbreaks rom works on .54/.55/.58 right??
In this case you'd need to flash a baseband patch (the cm6.52 one) and then the custom kernel

I am still running a tweaked 2.1, but without the tools created by our wonderful dev's here I would still be feeling like i was robbed by SE.
Mr Rusch Gave me the ability to push framework so i could have a circle... sounds dumb and simple - and my wife still cannot understand why i am so happy with such simple MODs!!
Binary & Androxyde gave me Flashtool. snm, i am free to make as many mistakes as i know i will, safe in the knowledge i can flash a 2.1 anytime.
Z, legend, gave me recovery. now i can save my progress in the effort to make my x10 Xceptional.
Many others here deserve recognition, RoseRed, OmegaRed, DoomLord, X10iUser (my first line of help over @ AF) MyImmortal, PlayGunsta, Flo95.........................
Too many to mention, thanks all - I have learnt a great deal and contributed where i can, i am grateful for your time, skill and patience - and we all know you need lots of it, as we were all new once!!!! BOOKAI - you lot RULE

Yeah read the whole thing posted in the link Flasher8 gave you. It's a pretty nice introduction to rooting and installing custom ROMs. After you have done those, install a Froyo ROM because Froyo ROMs are the most stable and it will give you the ability to move apps from phone memory to the SD card.
By the way, I recommend you install Floyo 0.20 by racht

Elelinux is just as fast and has no wifi issues. MiniCM has greatest support. FroyoBread has those gread GB features. Let him decide on his own.
Besides, why bother installing custom ROM? If he needs one, he'll get to it.

hi
1. read carefully on how to use Odin
2. it is always advisable to do a factory/Data wipe and wipe delvi cache and then flash the ROM via odin and if u want to go back to the stock rom dont worry just look in the rollup thread and u will see some links with stock rom with out boot loader for u to flash
good luck and be care full read carefully before attempting to flash
Like it has been said before, it´s ok.
Just remember to follow the guide and you´ll be just fine.
I recommend to flash the Kyrillos Rom 9.2 with G3Mod 2.2.2 noc oc.
Hit thanks if it helped you anyway.
Best of luck
Thanks alot harree.
Also what about the Overclock thingy? and one more question i read in one of the threads that a bettery stats wipe should be done after installing the rom. Well i searched around and i couldn't find a thread on how to do that. I would appreciate if someone can help with that.
@iam_dragonmaster, how can i install the g3mod 2.2.2 non oc (i figure this is a kernal? how can i install a kernal when installing the rom?) with kyrillos rom? besides i can only install kyrillos 9.0 i think then have to use the update.zip thingy to update.

Boot into recovery using the extended boot menu and apply the update for kyrillos 9.2 by selecting zip from SD card and of course you need to put the update in your SD card. You can download g3mod kernel and flash it via Odin one package and it does not wipe your data . Also you can download the battery calibration app from the market and install it and follow the instructions. For me i use Zeppelinroxs die hard battery calibrator script. Can be found with the beta/test releases of v6 supercharger.
