hi guys
i m trying to port xperia arc rom to x8
i download the rom and extracted it
now it has 2 folders in it
system
meta-inf
what things i have to do to port the rom
i m new to these things and i really want to do this
i've already read some threads
a little help will be appriciated thanks
Given the fact, that ARC and X8 did not share any hardware, I don't really think that it is an easy job, but I'm not a dev, so I can just wish luck to you for it!
What's your desired end result? Do you want an x8 with an arc like UI? There's a rom called arc x8 you might wanna try if that's the case. If you want a GB rom with SE resemblance try Gingercruzt and install the arc launcher. Both options give you an arc-ish looking phone. As for performance arc x8 is great for gaming and it's overclocked to 710 by default. Gingercruzt is not perfect but is very fast and smooth. Has the common GB rom bugs. For any other questions, probs, requests etc PM me. I'll help with what I can. I too at one point wanted arc stuffs on my phone lol. Good luck
basically i wanted to start porting roms so i started with arc cause i liked they way arc looked mediascape timescape and its fancy interface btw i have used those roms u mentioned they are good but want a complete arc rom
if u could help me take a first step it would be great

dont waste your time man.x8 has ARM6 CPU arc has ARM7.alot difference between too and you need drivers so hardware works
X8 and Arc are completely different phones and if you have no knowledge on developing... then forget it.
chris and jose, too much...
he just want to port, its not easy but i think its possible.
of course not complete same features as arc, but the complete same looks will be possible right?
hey bro. listen my advice to you would be to go for a sense rom. many people are wanting a sense rom thats fully working at the moment. i have bassicly got 1 nearlly fully working just have to get the right kernel working on it. and sort out mass storage then its done. but if you need any help with resizing apps and help with lib and that then just send me a PM and ill mail right back good luck mate
So, look at racht. He can port Legend and Hero, the more is Salsa!
Like this too, whatever the spec is different but i think it will be great and possible to port it.

Having taken the plunge for my first android phone namely the SE X10 on a standard rom and already rooted it, I'm just wondering if any of you would like to give me some tips on what to do next with this phone having being a wm 6.1 user for many years I'm at a bit of a loss with this one I've never used linux or any of the derivatives of that software which I'm lead to believe android is based, so pretty much clueless with this one kind regards Mcpaddy.
Sorry forgot to mention it has android 2.1 update 1 installed on it and its the X10I regards Mcpaddy.

Good places to start:

Basically you need to decide whether you want to go with a totally custom ROM, or modify the SE 2.1 ROM.
If you go total custom there are some guides to do it as telmoabff linked above.
I chose to just mod the 2.1 SE ROM and there are many different options you can go with, also many guides which will help you out.
You can get some very good customization / performance out of the 2.1 SE ROM...however, to get the absolute best performance / totally custom you will have to go with one of the user developed ROMs.
(Since I am kind-of new to this as well someone please correct me if I am wrong.)
I would root, install xrecovery and then z's freex10 b4 froyo rom as its the simplest and most stable rom i have tried. Once you have it running good then make a backup and try out any of the roms that float your boat, you can always just restore back to z's rom if things go wrong. Very hard to break the x10 have put mine in bootloop bout 6 times trying out the cool stuff on here but always been able to fix it!
Just my opinion tho
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
FreeX10 is the base for which all of the X10 Froyo ROMs are built, if you want something that has more tweaks and features Wolfbreak's CyanogenMod 6.1.3 ROM is a good one with a lot of support and features. Id go custom if I were you mainly because of the fact that 2.1 doesnt support Flash or app2sd which are 2 features that really make android great.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
Or you can use freex10 and simply flash cyanogen settings via xrecovery
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
If you want to stick with stock you should sysctl and jit along with few build.prop mods. Just search the forums. I would recommend the Z's freex10 rom for speed and stability. Tripmiui rom for something different.

Hello,
I noticed that racht might left X8 forum few months ago, his last rom was a great sense rom which was based on HTC salsa.
However, the rom's porting was incomplete, there was a few bugs, and these bugs are the point why we don't use it for a daily rom.
I think maybe we can fix these bugs together, anyone interested?
-Root reboot (SD Card safe to remove)
-Wifi & Mobile network
-vibration
-3D
I asked NobodyAtall for PM, I heard that the way to fix SD removing bug, is cooking the rom,so I think there must be someone to cook for us. I asked racht 3 days ago but he didn't send me replying.
Just for your info, Sense ROMs are very memory consuming. I agree that they're really beautiful, but for our tiny-memory, I think it's unsuitable.

Hey kevin all racht's Sense roms are Great
But the problem is the Lack os stability which we all know.. :/
Though i was waiting the bootloader 2 be unlocked so racht will finally port those roms for daily use..
i Wish i have been a developer ..
Umm...I don't think it's that suitable for our device, either.
Doixanh is right, for example, there is only 10mb free in /system
and if we use a sense rom, we won't get enough free ram.
HTC Hero has 191 MB ram, but they still feel slow on sense3.0, maybe we can improve gdx's sense 3.0 lockscreen, so many users will probably be very happy.

MIUI only runs on ARMv7 processors, we have ARMv6. Don't be expecting MIUI on your x8 anytime soon.

BIG JD, you say that you could have a fully functional Sense rom for X8?
If so, when? I'd be happy if this is possible. Peace
I will try to fix wi-fi and the root acess on this rom tonight.
And the RAM Usage, 30mb~40mb free sometimes..
Indeed,this rom can be ported,but there is really alot of work with it.it should be re-cooked,and it would be very hard to run stable on .29 kernel.it requires .35 kernel,maybie (!) It could run on .32 kernel,but there are many problems with kernel porting.
Any progress Salo-s ? Wish I could contribute but I'm some what of a novice still when it comes to code and stuff...congrats to those who are trying tho.

Did anyone notice that there is also an Eclair Sense ROm available to download it racht´s thread....maybe it´s old, but I´m sure that it´s easier to fix, as it doesn´t require a higher kernel version or new libs.
Yup, it runs veeery smooth, I hope someone can fix it.
Im waiting big jd are u still working at supersense?

Hello guyz, i'm progress fixing this lovely rom

so I'm out of ideas on how to fix the bug wi-fi, if someone can help me, thank
I intend to create a thread to post the progress of clean up the rom ... maybe later ... : D
Well are we all sure its possible to get a fully working sense ROM for x8? Hopefully someone will resurrect this beauty to its full potential, cuz that HTC salsa 2.3 Rom is tooooo awesome! Peace

Firstly -pilot- I'm sorry for spamming buddy
I'm back and looking for ideas as always
I was thinking ICS , but we have amazing devs like zdzihu who will get everything done
Then cyanogenmod , but we have the fxp team
Then stock based , we have many roms and amazing devs like team , thjap and wolf break
Then miui , but there are many out there by oodie , robertberma , cobra to and a1exander
May be I'm not required any more ????
But still need ideas
I think u must join zdzihu in ICS rom
Yeah a stable fully working ICS would be very good. Zdzihu is abroad and have not enough tools and time there so any dev helping would speed up the Development alot. I think 4.0 is very good and we all should help with our knowledge to get it working.

I know ICS is amazing
But I don't quite have the knowledge to cook drivers etc.
I can't even download the android source code at the stupid Internet speed I have ...
All can do is mod
If I knew driver coding I would surely help him
I could try modding ICS
could i ask for a newer version of the Ginger Villain Rom? Your last version was excellent!

I haven't change the stock ROM, since it was released (I used to flash froyo and eclair roms once a week, now Kernels only).
Simply in my opinion, stock SE rom is finer than any MIUI or AOSP roms
Why don't you develop a new more advanced kernel for 2.3.7 - 4.0.1. Many believe that the 2.6.29 Kernel is holding things back.

Very pleased to see you back Spaarc buddy
Needing a little advice myself in terms of AOSP if you can help?
Anyway Goro is already Porting Xperia 2011 Kernel to x10
2.6.32.9 and has it booting so its kinda unnecessary at the minute
Maybe just make your AOSP perfect
The only thing missing from x10 right now is sense... I know you've tried it and its hard but there are ppl out there who have had it working on x8 sgs2 and other devices, maybe get some advice and give it another shot?? The amount of testers will be huge if you get it working mate

Hi guys,
This is my first thread and forgive me if im doing it wrong.
Im now using lewa os roms and i get it from this site http://www.xperiax8.com.pl/v0-4-t3103.html
link for rom is here http://www.4shared.com/zip/Yv4ZZt2R/A04__N_M_T.html.
use it with alf v8 for GDX(not CM7)because this rom is base from GDX.
This rom has few major weakness but i manage to overcome it with tweak and software.
Major Weakness
1.Poor 3d performance-Tweak it with Perfomance Boost by LtHuNTer_StepheN(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503477)
2.No keyboard-install better keyboard(open zip files and install both apks)
3.USSD code wont work with default dialer-install and dial with fast_dialer_3.2.8mobihand.apk(if u feel annoying with reg pls help this guy & buy a full version)
4.Only have 2 lang(Eng & Chinese)i dont mind cause i always use English.
Greatest
-fast
-More free internal memory(less default apps)
-More free RAM
-beautiful ui(almost ferfect)
-Many themes-u can get it from here http://www.mediafire.com/?mfs8f6k81rzb5k9
-google apps-get it from here http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110729-signed.zip(flash it after u flash the rom)
-build in swap,battery saver,RAM cleaner& Root Explorer(in chinese-i think a dev want us to learning chinese)
Warning
-make full wipe b4 install the rom
-flash chargemont fix for alf
-dont use with Naa kernel or wifi wont work
-i dont try it yet with stock kernell.Ur guys are welcoming to try it and please let me know the result
-lastly,dont blame me if u brick ur phone.its work fine for my x8 wih Alf v8
Special thanks

Thanks anyway...so everything is working...?going to give a try
Yeah man...give it a try & pls post any comment in here.if anybody have better menthod to improve this rom,u are welcoming to share it.Im not sure if everything is working.As i know all basic fet. is working fine(call,msg,bt,wifi,games,camera&music).For me,i satisfy with it because it has difference UI from other CM7 roms.Im gonna stick with it until Paul xxx release full working version of CM9.(nobody will say no to ICS)
Does it have Any bugs?
I Actually Tested it.. And it Didn't seem to be quite impressive to be honest..
But okay..
Thanks for sharing anyway ;D
I don't know, Why some peoples are unliking the rom,
I found it really nice.
I had attached Antutu Benchmark screenshot.
You can see , its a great score without memory card score.
This rom is great in my views because it have a good UI with good performance.
It already stated that it has Poor 3D score.
I flashed Adreno library for ALFS ICS kernel.
I want to ask a question,
How to install themes ?????????????????????????
Hi there,
copy.lwt file to LEWA folder in SD and go to theme in menu or in setting(personal tap)and then import it.
very good style and the swapper option is very good!thanks

does the MMS work in malysia??
friend,
why u ask this q?do you mean are this rom work with MMS?The answer is...I dont know cause i dont use MMS.its a litte expensive in here.sorry
Sony Ericsson Keyboard
if someone want se keyboard here is Sony Ericsson Keyboard thanks to _Sparks
LOL didnt' know someone will post this rom here man i think u need permission from original thread (there is a link on xperiax8.com.pl) Bcoz xda is dev site unlike xperiax8. I mean xperiax8 is site where u can find everything to our x8 i was just posting a rom there to get to know others from my country About keyboard etc. i just simply took one from GDX and its working
P.S. Thsi rom should be working with all kernels (im using Stock kernel and its pretty fast)
Regards
Thanks uremytoy,its would be great news for our bro & sis With stock kernel.Many of them cant unlock bootloader and stuck with it forever.This rom will be good alternative for them.
This Rom have not option for wifi tether or usb !
