Hello!
I want to install a new costum rom: [ROM] 2.2.1 MiniCM-1.0.0-Beta2.1 port for x8
I have a costum rom from racht alredy installed on my x8 device.
Question:
If i want to install a new costum rom, do I have to restore my stock/original rom to device before installing that rom? Or can i just install that rom?

No, you can flash roms one over another. Even if they are compatible, you can make "advanced recovery" and flash only the system part, so you keep your programs, contacts, call logs etc.
So if i have a 2.3.3 CM X8 J005 HACKDROID i can install update.zip onto it?

yes. switching Rom is an easy part with xrecovery.
I apllied my defy [SBF]4.5.1-134-DFP-132-Android 2.3.6 Defy+ this rom.
I know that my defy can't aplly cm7/miui rom, but I want to apply any ROM to my defy.
I tried MS2Ginger, but it's not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
What can I do?
Well I'm working on a minimalist ROM.And yes as of now except for MSGinger , stock ROM is second fastest.
Well did you try MSGINGER3 - based on 2.3.6 ?
got the same here.
who flashed with this ROMs will never be able to flash with MIUI or CM7 again?
can we use gapps v6 for ics on gingerbread without risk ?
i have a MM2 with cm7 and after testing of ICS CM9 i would use new gmail apps
thx by advance

sounds like you tired to install over a froyo rom/kernel, did you upgrade to 2.3 official before installing the .35 recovery and rom?

hi
i am using miui from the last few months now, i installed cyanagen , all these roms are based on 2.3 and at present i am using miui_u8800_2.2.24 andi tried to install rom from this rom only, i dont use froyo, but still the problem persists,
can u help
You need to install OFFICIAL 2.3.5 if you want to use .35 kernel ROMs (new CM7.2, Aurora, new MIUI...). It is not enough if you just install a custom 2.3 ROM beacuse older 2.3 ROMs use .32 kernel, so you need to update to official 2.3.5 which also changes some other files so you can use .35 kernel and from official you can go to .35 kernel custom ROMs.
now different prob

hi
thanks for what u said but
i installed official 2.3.5 but now there is no imei and when i try to load into pink screen to change the recovery, it is not mounting, seems there r no files in it,
please help
and also when i revert back to 2.2 it shows files in boot screen in boot loader (pink Screen) and there i can change the latest recovery 5.5.0.4 but again the problem is back to .32, is there any way i can install only kernel to first change from .32 to .35 and then try to install a different rom (.35)
i would also like to add the official update i used was Android 2.3 V100R001C00B526G001 and now there is one more update Android 2.3 V100R001C00B528G001, currently i am downloading that, i will let u know what happens after i download that

You can change recovery with root explorer. Here is a great guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Every ROM from beta2 on has locked bootloader so you cant change files when in pink screen but you can unlock it after you rooted it and changed recovery (search development forum for tutorial)
Problem solved

Your core-Kernel should be a 2.2 CEE ROM (Froyo), if you have flashed the ROM in the usual way.
hmm..
