Fxp kernel first, then cm7 :d

Downloading... will see what it is different form FXP rom

Can I istall the ROM with Xrecovery?

Sent from my X8 using XDA App

Downloading now, report in 1-2 hrs...

.sin
Folder has a kernel.sin inside
Did not install this yet, but...I compared the archive to FXP 030 and looks like the same apps. in folder? Even the thing that Radio.apk (or FM apk) is missing? ?? not sure what to say for now....

Ok, for someone who has no clue about how to install CyanogenMod (would love to give it a try to see if it's even more feature complete than GDX, if that could be possible, at all)...
Could some nice soul post up a "How to install CyanogenMod 7.1 in layman terms", in proper English, detailling the necessary steps?
I take it requires unlocking the boot loader as there's a Kernel in the ZIP file...
That step is already covered around here, how to go from there?

It was expected since FXP will be maintaining Xperia device at CM. the only thing this time was CM official released.

So, it has the same progres so far? No FM radio, no 3mp cam.?

can i just install using recovery without flash kernel.sin.
my phone's bootloader is not unlocked.

I think one of the FXP team can answer that... Since I have not yet install the official CM ROM.

Cannot install... ROM MANAGER cant flash the CWM into phone (not shown) and recovery can't flash it...

Idézek a másik topicból, hátha nem láttad, remélem így menni fog:
"FLASHTOOL! advanced, bundle creation, it will make a ,ftf file!
you need an unlocked bootloader.
if i help you press thanks!"
Szóval valamit ÁLLÍTÓLAG Flashtool-ban kell ügyeskedni

So to translate:
I just quoted some lines from the other thread, hope it will work.

Hmmm... flashtoolban custom rom... van benne valami.
Ok for the kernel's .sin... but for the whole firmware... let's try something....
not working... for now at least. backed up 'old' so will try when devs says so

link is broken and I can't find it in the official site...

Wait, what? That's the FXP030 ROM?
And they are releasing that as a "stable" (*points finger at CM's download page*)?
Wow, I'm out of words ... seems the definition of "stable" is highly blurred nowadays. I wouldn't call a ROM that's lacking features (fully working camera / FM Radio, according to the "Bugs" in the FXP dev thread) as being a "stable" release. It would seem the "helping hand" from SEMC was rather useless or highly limited to the devices where SEMC themselves made Gingerbread available.
Knowing this I'll proudly stay with GingerDX, which is the most feature complete ROM we have for the X8.

Judging by the OP's short post history, my guess is that it's a theme on top of an existing ROM and probably has nothing to do with real honeybits.

Hi guys,
With this new kernel and a lot of new ideas, isnt better if we try a new port of cyanogen with no motoblur?? Particulary, i prefer that ROM...
I didnt know how to do, but i can test...
There are so many roms for droid 2, like fission, that i want to use in my milestone 2, but see that mike and others try to port but doesnt work. But now, we have new roms and new oportunites...

Is that port possible now (with leaked CHINA rom)?

Well, I'm still learning the basics of android building. As soon as I get my custom hijack for 2nd init working I will try to port CM to the Milestone2. Note that I'm not promising any dates. My free time is very short and I'll do my best, but I don't want to get under pressure because of this
I think a leaked unlocked bootloader would do the trick
Just jocking. As I see it, nothing has changed regarding custom roms, as the bootloaded stays the same.
But I am quite confident, that r2beta0 will have progress on 2nd-init soon.

I think we don't need the 2nd-init built specially for GB rom, since Defy's CM7 (and Droid 2/X's) still have the base SBF on froyo. Maybe if we exchange the boot.img and devtree.img from GB leak to the ones inside Defy's CM7 update.zip (don't forget to delete /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/pds_init too, or you'll get all that GSM problems again)?
Edit: Won't Apex 2.0 RC2 work on GB Mile2?

We need 2nd-init in order to change the boot sequence required by CM7. DroidX already have a customized 2nd-init for CM7, but I don't want to use it yet as it uses bootscripts inside a /system/etc/shadow-boot.zip. I prefer to have my files ready to edit and not inside a zip file. Also, trying to make my own hijack is giving me knowledge I will need when trying to port CM to M2.

Hm... Okay, nice! So we have a better coded 2nd-init.

Hi guys,
Searching the web, i found a oficial port of MIUI for droid 2, than i think: "Can we port this version with the ch kernel and change the baseband?"
If its possible, i think that this way is more simple, however port a defy rom and fix the incompatible bugs...

We should check first if this ROM is compatible with the kernels we have available. If so, we can try to port from that. Some ppl into Development forum are already trying to do that.

It is more difficult to port from a CDMA device. If you achieve Apex Rom to work with GSM network, then you can think about porting it.

Hey guys, a new ROM has just released on Dev Forum, click here and see by your self!!!!
One maybe stupid question:
Can I install this rom on froyo or should I first upgrade my MM2 to GB?
There´s what u have to do (didn´t test yeat, I will try at night. But u can always downgrade with a stock SBF):
** Make u sure of your phone is rooted before everything !! **
1. Download all-in-one.zip and put into /sdcard/
2. Download and Install Droid2bootstrapper (old CWM) from the internet/market
3. Update to Ported Defy CWM (there´s a thread in general forum explain how to install that)
4. Boot into CWM and apply the all-in-one.zip and after (without reboot) make a full-wipe (make u sure that u have maked a backup of everything before)
5. At this moment, reboot your phone and use the keys combination for enter in bootloader mode
6. Download the fixed_sbf from the original thread in DEV forum and apply with RSD lite.
7. Your phone will reboot and after some minutes, U Can Enjoy the new ROM!!!
I think I made ​​a big mistake!
I touch everything and I'm going to Defy baseband! I change the parameter.
Since the network can not be found.
Any idea?
i will take a look at this

Good mod!
But does anybody know how can I get back low battery beep and camera sounds? I find them rather useful.
I got struck in "google" logo and the phone dont boot
how can i do factory reset in bootmenu from the CM7 ? i dont find this option there...
or even re-install all the stuff...
EDIT: i can't open CWM 4.0 from the BootMenu 1.0.2 , i try latest recovery or stable recovery but it says "error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (result: no such file or directory)
Please help ! T__T
I can't post in thread on development's subforum, so I ask my question here:
where can I find a tool and howto to make my own custom *.zip file to use with CWM? I have found a tool called Android Kitchen, but readme inside archive says, that it is mainly created for HTC devices. Am I following a correct path , or I should search some other tools?
update:
I have successfully flashed my custom *.zip file based on information taken from www[dot]londatiga[dot]net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/
coming from miui, how should i update?

What exactly is the difference? What can you do on CM7 that you can't do otherwise? Just wondering if it's worth all the trouble.
This is an official CM rom made by the CM team. This is the final build of CM 7.1 using OS version 2.3.7. Now when the ICS source is out they will start work on CM 9. Expect daily/nightly revisions of this build from the CM devs on this forum though
And in answer to your question. CM is a android rom built from the ground up for each device. Unlike most custom roms, CM is based on the AOSP (Android open source project) and not the latest sony firmware. It's basically a stock android rom, very fast and very stable but includes nothing Sony. It dosen't even include the google apps, you have to flash them as a seperate package
is it worth doing to the xperia play, im on the latest nordic firmware would i lose things such as facebook inside, and the xperia play menus?
Sorry typo i quoted my post instead of editing it lol

You will loose everything like that. But on the plus side, you get more space, better kernel and latest android version.

Well J's rom is a build, while Z's rom is a port, and hence this is why Z's rom has far fewer bugs.

HELP!!!
I just wanted to reinstall FXP043, and I guess I have wiped bit too much.
Now when I try to install FXP from CWM recovery I get:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "X10i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "X10i"
and so on...
Any ideas hot to fix it? I tried to reinstall with stock, but SE Companion doesn't seem to work.
Ok. I've managed to recover my installation. But... I'd like to have fresh, clean FXP043. And now...
First I tried to reinstall update-cm-7.1.0-es209ra-KANG-signed and gapps with recovery.
I've ended up with nothing changed.
Then I flashed SE rom with SE Companion. Runed it once, flashed FXP kernel, installed update and gapps with CWM.
I've ended up with FXP043 hanging up on CyanogenMod logo.
So now... I have a choice. Either use SE stock rom, or FXP that I have backed up.
I'm desperate.

Ok. I've managed to recover my installation. But... I'd like to have fresh, clean FXP043. And now...
First I tried to reinstall update-cm-7.1.0-es209ra-KANG-signed and gapps with recovery.
I've ended up with nothing changed.

Sure I did. I have FXP working, but I restored with titanium, so now I wanted fresh copy to eliminate possible bugs from programs.
Something strange happened on first time I tried to make it clean, and I couldn't install update zip. Finally I tried factory reset from CWM, and it worked fine. I've got fresh install, and... seems that data bug is gone for now.
Anyway, case closed.

Well how is your phone doing?
Is it still " data bug " free?
Hi. Why is there no bug on the locked bootloader port?

[GUIDE] The latest guide to xperia x8 roms and mods

UPDATED: Saturday, February, 25th 2012
DISCLAMER:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: THOSE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE MENTIONED ARE WHAT WORKED FOR ME AND OTHER USERS> and when you read this thread,dont just read half or parts of it, read it properly, form start to finish!​Hi there dear reader welcome to my guide with new questions new roms and much much more things. It's The latest guide to roms and mods for the x8!!​1. we do not accept trolling here. i do not want a flame war here.
2. these mainly benefits me and other rom testers ect.
3.click here for my FAQ that gets updated every week
right onto the guide iitself.
Rooting​Rooting your phone is what you need to do before you install custom roms, modules, and kernels. Rooting means you have superuser access to your phone. a bit like a special admin on a computer. having superuser rights means you also have the power to change you system stuff, delete a system app, add modifications and so on. if you wish to root your phone then click here
great, you'v rooted your phone i hope, now for the fun stuff...
Basebands and kernels​I know that many people have baseband 006. you cant install roms with your baseband at 006 so you will have to change it to 015. unless your phone already has 015. for the baseband collection thread clickthis
i have also found a thread with a custom kernel. its linuxdx by doixanh. for the thread click here
Also a guide on building a kernel. click here for that
Roms:​welcome to the rom part of this thread. custom roms are custom android versions, that can easily be modified and customized, they are more than just your average android. most of them are based on cm6 or cm7 or cm6 mini.
here are a couple of gingerbread roms i have found and tested.
gingerbread roms:​Gingercruzt by frogy furnetal.
Gingerdx by doixanh
minicm7
froyo roms
froyo pro by XDA-RK
Froyobread by doixanh
sense roms by ratch
how to install custom roms:​Now, custom roms are actually quite easy to install. as long as you follow the instructions bellow.
1. copy the rom to your sd card. no subfolder just the normal folder on its own on the sdcard.
2.boot into xrecovery (for more about recoveries click here, its my FAQ you will find info there
3.go to install custom .zip
it should come up with a load of folders you have on your phone. go to the bottom where you will find your rom and choose that.
4. install it and wait...
5. once installed, do a full wipe before rebooting or you could get stuck on rebooting.
5. your done!
Modifications.​Right now on to the mods.
some people want dual touch or pinch to zoom for their phones.
well, guess what, you can.
if you have cypress chip on your phone (real dual touch) click here
If you have synaptics (fake pinch to zoom) then click here
If you want to overclock your phone then click here
If you want linuxdx then click Here
how to install linuxdx (and other kernels)​I do have a thread about bootloaders and kernels but since i put it in my modifactions section i decided to put a TuT:
grab flashtool 2.9.1 (hard to get hold of but it is the only flashtool that works with flashing kernels, i do have it and i have flashed linuxdx v004 and alfs kernel v05 so i will load up the download file for flashtool 2.9.1)(click here to download flashtool 2.9.1 move linuxdx v004 .ftf to flashootl/firmwares
and open x10flashtool (works with x8 dont worry) click flash and choose file. then follow the onscreen instructions... (plug in x8 whilst holding back button, wait for a few minutes as some coding will show up on the computer screen, then it will say its done and you can disconnect your phone) once completed rebbot phone and enjoy!!!YOU MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER TO LOAD CUSTOM KERNELS!
Recently asked questions!
Hello guys! i decided to update my thread and tell you about more recently asked questions:
How to unlock bootloader:
Answer: There is this thing called search bar, use it because there is more than just 2 threads about unlocking bootloader, actually there is a about 5
Why do i get a hard brick after unlocking my phones bootloader?
Answer: Check your date on the back of the phone: It should have a date such as 11w28 etc. If it is 11w32 and above, then stay away from the bootloader, it will only end up in tears. Many threads about this too, use the search button
Can we run IOS on our x8?
Answer: Are you crazy? check my post here for more. If your thinking of porting it or anything (not that it will ever happen )
if you have anymore things you want me to add, then post a reply saying so.
also check out my FAQ
this will be updated every week.
Also, how did you get to this thread? via my sig, or via searching the forums or searching google?
