[Q] upgradation of android version

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.

GingerXperia v13 is very fast and stable, thank you xperiafan13, I hope your thread can be reopened.

you should just try all of them and find out which one suits your needs te best.
I guess thats the way how the most of us found out.
If you want a little bit of all of them you should compile your own rom.

NO you can get it for stock ones too......there are a lot of CM7 that work on stock roms.......
If you need I can give you a link of a page on which most of the roms are listed...

@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
