Farewell.... - XPERIA X8 General

I want to say many many thanks to the members and devs here in the x8 forums, thanks for making my tiny X8 more powerful and awesome to use...
but im sad to say im leaving you all behind now as ive upgraded my phone to the Galaxy S2.. and ive just flashed the official ICS and all i can say is that its sooooo worth it.
For people in the UK i strongly recommend going for the £30 a month contract on 3uk, u get the phone free and i get all u can eat data and enough txts n minutes to last me...
Ive still got my X8 so ill be popping in and out to have a play but now my new home is over at Galaxy S2 HQ.
Extra Big thanks to Paul-xxx doixhan, racht, nAa, alfs and the other people who have put in hard work for us seeking a better life for our phones.... MUCH LOVE . PEACE

leaving the x10 forums

for several weeks I have been unable to hook up my x10 to the computer. I can barely get it to charge by wiggling the charger chord just right, sometimes taking several minutes to get a connection. so today I called in and used my phone insurance and they are sending me a motorola bravo until I can get an upgrade in october (wich will be the infuse or atrix 4g). So my rom porting days are officially over for the x10. wanted to say a big thanks to z and J!! also a big thanks to doomlord, cobrato, riendero, azuzu and many other members of xda that have been helpfull and fun to work with. I hoped to mess around with gingerbread on the x10 but instead will have to mess around around with the bravo for a few months... wish you all the best with the x10..
sincerely Rob
Thanks for all your hard work on this device. Best of luck in your future adventures!
Bye.........
The pleasure was all ours mate.
Farewell
Thanks for your ROMS take care buddy
Played with the bravo for a few months. It had alot of potential but not much in the dev department. It is a smooth device though. Good luck. My up is November also. Thinking either galaxy2 or attic.

i curently waiting for contract which ends in about june so 2 years with this community . now about the new toys out there i think dual core will be more then enough, quad cores will i think run a bit too fast regarding battery life. maybe like most of our ex members the single core oldies will last them through
For me its the memory and screen that were holding me up with the GT540. Tempered glass versus "touch me/scratch me" plastic and enough memory to download everything from Play Store
This phone runs stable at 1300mhz and the official CM7 is rock solid. Seriously though, there are so many roms around that its hard to know where to start... I'd recommend this phone to anyone.
yeah but soon sgs will be like gt540 old and less active but it will take a lot longer and even so it has many many many many roms to choose from. But for me i think next upgrade will be a nexus easy to unlock and well taken care of by google
All best!

I managed to get 1.7GHz stable with 1325mv core voltage and 1110 internal voltage. It might go even higher, but I don't have the balls to try it out.
**** that's fast. I'm still at 1000
Too busy trying all the rooms & kernels (huge ram is great)

I am still waiting for a custom ICS rom that has good battery life (like 2.3.5). I use it a lot on the bus and sometimes at school. i come home at the end of the day only having 15-10% left using sammy's stock roms @ 1Ghz
Replaced my GT540, amazing phone thanks to custom ROM dev. community.
Won`t sell it, I am still trying new ROMs as dev release them.
Farewell, nice choice for new phone

I think he was referring to the fast pace in which the mobile industry is going. Like, you know...ant years or somethin' like it... ha
On the other hand...
yes, i bought my x8 (the black one) last year in june after my old one got stolen, and i was short on cash, so i bought it with the promotion they had at 3 (three), it was 49 euros without any subscription...planned to change it after a while, but it was ok, and with all the possibilities the android world brings, didn't really feel the need to change it.
but...still...planning on upgrading to defy+ but not sure if it's worth it for now...
My x8 is 3 months old

i have my X8 as my main phone , for about 1,5yrs love it so much xd
Yes with a decade I did mean the fast pace of the industry. Yet our phones are still keeping up whereas development for phones released then has stopped
Remember. X8 started.with donut 1.6

I have my X8 Black for about 1,5 years and don't have no intentions to change it. The great work of all the developers of this community and his beautiful design, make it an awesome phone.

Something important to say

Hello all X8 users, I have something to say to you.
I have been on the X8 section and testing rom when Ratch and Doixanh almost was the only devs, and we was happy about the "Sense" roms with just basic functionality.
But in August 2011 weve got roms wirh working camera and everything.
But now everything is changed, we have more less developers which is quite sad, because more users are buting new phones right now.
Some of the best devs like Doixanh has left us, bu there is still hope from devs like nAa.
But now its time for me to leave you, and buy Arc S In about 20-25 days.
I will always remember all the fun I had with my X8 and all the great roms and modules.
I think Its quite sad to leave you, but the X8 has just to bad size of the ram for me.
But overall X8 is quite a nice phone, and I think it has the best speaker ever. My buddy has Sensation XL and he thinks X8 has better sound then hes XE.
I like the screen too, really good resolution, but I hate that I have Synaptic.
But how many of you are left, and when are you gonna buy something new?

Well...i'll see u in arc section later and i hope u will develop for arc s as well with ICS coming in 1-2 weeks more
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
I never joined the forum but i used to visit it since march.That was the time we had floyo from racht and minicm form nAa and ponovon with pretty much eveything working.
that was pretty hard time.Now the development is quite stable.we have paul and nAa left(Ill be dev someday,when ill grow up )
I will remain in this forum till october...
I'll be on the x8 forums til October or December, unsure where I'll go.
Sent from my E15i using XDA
It is a sad day where a dev like you are leaving XDA X8 section, but your contributions were of high value and hopefully you will keep visiting us.
well all i can say is thanks for everything you have done
but i will stay here as long as my x8 is working. then probably buy Xperia S, P, U or sola...
Bro dont go...read my PM
Good Luck !
The most pathetic thing for me in this community is, when there are people who will be leaving this community, especially people like you.
But I must accept it, And Good Luck, Oyeah! dont forget to visit us here when you have a free time Dude!
But how many of you are left, and when are you gonna buy something new?

I will buy something other, when my xperia will be broken... for now o have it like for 1,5 yrs and its still OK so much people say that touchscreens are bad because they are broken really quickly. But not for me every phone in my life i had like for 6 months - to a 1 year and it was broken. Now i have my lovely x8 for 1,5 yrs, and i dont see any sign that it will be broken in near time so i will not buy any other phone untill my x8 is working

as long my x8 working..i will use it..
I am not gonna buy another phone as long as I don't afford the money so I will continue with x8 until it will break to pieces.... I can't say that I am not satisfied with it, I would say that I have enjoy myself a loooooooooooot!!!
Actually I love it!!!

You are the choosen one! Keep up the good work brother!!
x8 is a great device started by running android 1.6(donut) and it's still working with android 2.3(gingerbread) maybe fully function with v4(ICS) in next few months. What's a great device! But it was built for v1.6(cpu 600mhz but dev make it be able to overclock to more than 700mhz, ram 256 but 184 accessible) so i have to say that newer device can run smoother as they were built for newer version. Anw X8 is my first android phone and it's a great device to me!

Farewell from me.

Well after playing with the galaxy note i bought for my gf a few days ago, i decided i couldn't take it any longer so i went to phones 4 u and asked what they could do for me. They have paid what i had left on my contract 7 months early for me and given me a galaxy s2 for free on a £20.50 p/m orange contract.
Not a bad deal i don't think.
I'll still pop in every now and then though as i still have a wildfire at home and dont want to get rid of my introduction to android, thanks to everyone that has shared anything i used and for teaching me how to get the best out of my phone.

Mate, that was quick lol. The itch took over quicker than i expected. Sg2 is prob my realistic expectation too and for about the same £pm but on 3. Keep in touch mucca and all the best with the new toy. Its gonna be like losing an arm
I was just about to post another thread but oh well
Yesterday I received my HTC One S on contracts, 25.92 p/m for 12 months, 260 or something upfront.D) I've always loved Willy, he is the best legend to date and I don't think I can sell him
Being with Willy has been a rollercoaster, I learnt about rooting through it, my first two roots were with two Wildfires. I couldn't take Sense anymore, so I got CM7, and then eventually we got CM9!! (Well done to Erwin, if I can find his donation link I will most definitely donate)
I'll still hang around on the CM9 thread and a few others, though now I'll mostly post on the One S forums, hope to see you guys there
cya
Congrats! See ya around on the S2 section!
Bye scratch and thanks to all your work.
We'll all definitely miss you here

Thanks everyone and Congrats on the one s mate, hope you enjoy it as much as i am the s2. I thought id wait a little while before rooting but ended up rooting it today, its a bit confusing reading all the info but i ended up doing it in 3 and a half minutes without even touching my pc........
First flashed temp cwm from stock recovery, then flashed supersu to get root, after that boot into recovery and flashed siyah kernel. Full cwm, root and plenty of tweaks to play with. Just need to decide on a Rom now.
Oh...... The note is a real beast of a phone, hope you have big hands our lass doesn't.

Thanks everyone and scratch, I haven't managed to root mine yet - we don't have Revolutionary yet, and I'm scared if I root it using HTCDev they won't take my phone in for service if I ever need it. And there aren't many ROMs, most are Sense 4.0 based, except for the Alpha 10 CM9 port!

Now i dont know which one to get, plastic fantastic samsung is not for me, all others either, so that only leaves me with htc. They ruined a perfect phone.
