miniCM and Flash

Hi guys,
I'm using the miniCM 3.0 rom on my x8. I've been trying to install the flash player; but, I keep getting a message 'not installed'. Has anyone else managed to install it?
Cheers

What the *BEEEP!*, Look at the Sony V630i(Old phone) if you flash it an custom W660 Rom it can use Flash, and it's an old phone, and the X8 can't do it??? COME ON!!!

Are you sure that W660 supports Flash? AFAIK it has only old FlashLite...

x8 only supports FlashLite

I think X8 need a big screen...

Lite? And can't we use Flash Lite on WebPages? or, can you port the Flash Player from X10 to X8?

1. yes
2.yes
3.u can install dual recovery using x8 toolbox. however, i heard that installing dual recovery using x8 toolbox while using stock eclair ROM will require extra steps (which i dont really know and i cant confirm this). so i recommend that u just install a froyo ROM through xrecovery/freexperia and then use x8 toolbox if u want dual recovery.
4. if i understands right, u wanna install floyo by racht..? if yes, in racht's thread there is a clear instruction on how to do it but u need to know that some floyo ROM (i think v0.15 and below) can only be installed by using backup and restore function in xrecovery/freexperia. for floyo v0.20 and higher it is installed by using custom .zip function in xrecovery/freexperia.
(i dont really remember well coz havent gone to the thread for a while now, just read the thread back...the instructions are there)

[Q] Problem with Launcher Pro on Xperia X8

Hello!!
I'm a new user of Android and a couple of months ago I bought the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.
THE CONTEXT:
I tried to upgrade my phone, rooting it and installing Android 2.3.7 (GingerXperiaV12) following a guide I found in youtube
After doing those steps yesterday, it worked fine.
I put to charge the battery all night, and this morning when I start the phone there was a message error telling about an error in Launcher Pro. I ignore it, and press continue so I don't remember very well what it said exactly (but it wasn't a long text, it pretty much said only that). Well, since the phone worked I didn't pay attention so I used WIFI and tried to install some apps like Skype, Barcode Reader or some Japanese Keyboard Input (like: google japanese input). The problem came when I tried to reboot the phone.
THE PROBLEM:
After pressing the center bottom and selecting "restart", the phone completly freezes when the text "Sony Ericsson" come out in the black screen. I can't access to the OS at all.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I tried waiting several minutes and extract the battery to reboot and try again, but it still freezes when the "Sony Ericsson" come out.
I tried accesing to the xRecovery (which I installed in order to root the phone), pressing several times back botton, but it doesn't work either.
Please can someone give me a help with this? I have read somewhere I might try installing the launcher again. Do you think that is the solution? Is it possible?
Thanks for advance

hello my friend .. i dont know about ur problem but for me launcher pro really sux and i didnt like it at all .. if u want a good launcher then download (Go launcher EX) from market .. and yeah also if u want good roms , i mean the best for x8 u have to use GingerDX or nAa minicm7 2.1.7 , u will find these roms in the dev. section . if u want my opinion about them i prefer nAa cause it is very smooth and perfect dual touch here the link .

just follow the steps and read everythink and do it at ur own risk . welcome to the x8 forum and have a nice day .

Just use PC comapnion from SE and repair you phone....and after that root your phone again and install rom( for rooting and cwm the best tool is x8toolbox)

Ok
Thanks for the replies. Thanks god I could make it works!
Just a couple of notes:
1.- The only way to access to the Xperia x8 was via flashing it.
2.- PC Companion didn't work at all. Even when I could access to the phone via flash, at last PCC gave a error message saying that there weren't any update to install. It seems SE doesn't support this phone yet lol
3.- What worked efectively was Flashtool (second option in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257)
But the ROMs listed in step 2 of that guide (X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf, X8_1.6_clear.ftf, X8_2.0.2_China.ftf, SE x8_2.1_rus.ftf) didn't seems to work to me. So instead of those, I searched and put into the "firmware" folder of Flashtool this oficial ROM:
http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5
that I found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454954
What I'd like to ask now, just to not have the same problem again is, should I go for nAa for my Xperia X8?

It seems difficult breaking bootloader for a noob like me though xDD

You can use GDX without any problem with stock kernel. So, its not mandatory to open bootloader but its recommended if you want to try CM9 based roms.
If you try to open bootloader, please go through the threads on xda and make sure that its safe to open it. Some phones are not safe to open and you may get your phone bricked. Please check the number behind your battery on the phone and make sure from xda if its safe. Also s1tool tells if its safe or not.

Hello!
Well, thanks for your support I could revive my phone!!! And now I could install the nAa ROM!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
If it's possible I'd like to ask the last question, I've tried to install from Market an application for writting japanese keyboard: Japanese IME Kaede v3
[http:]//es.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/japanese-ime-kaede-ime-v3_dvn(dot)html
But the Market say "This device is not compatible with this element"
Is it possible? I mean, the official firmware I was using before trying to install this custom ROM allowed me to use it without any problem.
Have you ever got a message like this? Have I got to do something?
Thanks again

Your problem wasn't the launcher it was that you did something wrong while installing it that caused you to brick it. Always remember to factory reset your phone before and after flashing a rom just to be safe and to avoid errors.
GingerXperia V12 is quite old, go for V19 or V21b those are quite alot faster and worked really good for me, they also come with the Sony arc launcher so that's good. You also don't need to unlock your bootloader for those roms.

You can install any rom is base on stock 2.3.4, such as Arconium, Xperia Mod v8, Aniking. I think maybe 2.3.7 also work but I don't sure .
Everything you need to do is root. To do that, your phone must be in firmware .42 or .58
After you download the app "Xperia CWM auto installer", it'll help you install recovery. Then you reboot into recovery and flash the zip file of rom.
Sr my English

Just pay to unlock your bootloader. I did. It doesn't cost a lot and it's really worth it. you will get so much more from your phone and you will probably save money because note you will wait longer to upgrade.
