[Q] upgradation of android version - XPERIA X8 General

hi......i have xperia x8 with android 2.1...............n want to upgade the version to any newer version like 2.2 or 2.3.
so plz tell me the metod of upgrading it.

Read the stickies!

Go to youtube and search "how to root X8" and look for the vid by TECHNEWSWEEKLY. The vid i mentioned above is the 1st step in upgrading your phone. From then on, search "how to install xRecovery on X8" from the same dude. Lastly, from the same guy, search on how to install Froyo ( 2.2.1) or Gingerbread (2.3.5) and you're good to go thats how i did it. Its all in easy-to-follow steps !

Yeah I know, I was trying to flash my cell to upgrade the baseban to x15, but I saw that dual touch by andyx works better in versions greater than 2.1, I was just going to rely on the partition of my SD card cause Im using Link2SD and a bunch of blablabla things xD.

I dont have such problems with 1.1 and LinuxPeria i didnt try so cant tell anything about it....Versionn 2.2 is very slow and lag but its only me.....
im going to give an answer someone should have said on the 1st page. it's ALL personal opinion, for example i dislike some of the roms listed and i like other's it's all just guess and see which one "fits" you best. Also take a look at the sticky in the Q&A section.

[Develpoment]x10 mini pro kernel 2.6.32

I have already posted something like this but i want to take another shot!!!
please dont complain...OR say "YET ANOTHER THREAD"
Backgroud:
As we all know x10 mini,x10 mini pro, and x8 are close brothers(or sisters you might consider ,well whatever)except ldpi,mdpi stuff (thats not a problem)
arm v6,etc,etc you know(im not in mood to find similarities,im getting late for my class coz of writing this thread)
well they have kernel 2.6.32 and we are stuck at 2.6.29
we can port it or whatever like use se x10 mini pro kernel sources...it wont be much problem....well they have real multitouch i know....BUT it should be ok
It might be simpler than porting cm kernel(well i tried it once...idiot me)
All Im asking that we need a team,kernel development cant be done by single one. We need a team that know SOMETHING(im not asking for proffesionals,even im a rookie)
Im in.What ya say guyz??
If you intersted then only post ...
Thank you.
Rahat
ask nobodyAtall , he is online now
I dont know whether devs will come up,we should atleast try on our own...just give it a try.there is nothing wrong in that...i think even baseband version is same(may be wrong)
Cmon guyz!!!
Yes,we need this indeed.

Edit: i think you messed up names little bit... xperia mini pro has 2.6.32 kernel and has 1GHz snapdragon procesor with 512MB RAM. To much work with porting here... nAa will tell you same thing.

No you don't *need* this. It would be good for the way forward but it's not a requirement without which you can use ICS or anything.
I think a more practical question is what feature is really missed from newer kernel that is worth investing the time in order to get them ported? I don't see any right now besides the ability to actually upgrade.
Technically it's feasible but there is a lot of SEMC code that will need to be ported in order to have the phone boot. Not to mention having it work properly...
Remember that when SEMC started porting .29 for their devices, not so many things were done the standard way for android (like it is now) and also their experience was nil. Things have improved on their .35 release.
how about porting htc kernel from htc explorer ?
With same processor (600Mhz) and same GPU, maybe it works!

htc explorer is arm cortex v5=>armv7 architecture
Didnt the devs ported a lot of the features of .32?
If it would be easy nAa or the others will do it. But we dont need it as nAa said.
[Accepted] Anyway we only wanted kernel 2.6.3x to make our phone look like a high end phone
Yeah there arnt any changes between 2.6.29 and 2.6.32....

FroyoPro - The "TV" Effect

Hello guys, i have a doubt about this "TV effect" that appears when i lock the screen or press a button to appear the unlock the screen. So this is some kind of problem? I can change it? That effect appears in Froyo 2.2.9 too.
Thanks for help!
I'm using FroyoPro v25 by Irakkarl
It is not a problem or anything.. You can off the effect if you want in Settings>CM Settings>Display.

What doubt? Does it bothers you in some way? Thats a beam ported from CM7 since the froyo you are using is the successor infamous ROM by doixanh.

Yes it really bothers me! It's like a damaged screen, can someone help to remove this if this is possible?
Well, you can't turn it off in Froyo ROMs. dx had to do a lot of changes to make it work on Froyo.
You can turn this effect off only in CM7 ROMs, try GingerDX or MiniCM7
infamous, deedii?
Why infamous?

Whick kernel are you using? If stock, you may have to do a full wipe and reinstall (redownload if necessary). If you're on custom kernel, you may have to install the addons too. Head to gdx thread for details.

@Little Zed, you can supercharge your ROM, just read the OP
It is not advisable to supercharge JB ROMs as it has already it's RAM management from the kernel, if you are experiencing convenience then good for you but it is not that effective i tell you
