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 know, and that is why I ask about Froyo ROMs..
Well, if you just want a stock looking, fast ROM, then go for AOSP, but if you want more themes, and other mods then go for Utopia.

Works fine for me, try flashing gapps. Download this, put it on the SDCard and flash it using Clockwork Recovery.
Utopia anytime, miroslav_mm is working really hard on it. It's a lot more 'complete' than AOSP

Oops! I completely forgot my signature. As I'm always between ROMs! Thanks for pointing out!!
HAHAHAA
Utopia was my favorite until the RC3 version came out. I had a lot of trouble trying to make Link2SD work (I experimented with different versions of Busybox and finally I got it to recognize the second partition) but today I had another problem with WiFi, which suddenly stopped seeing my WPA2 home network. I had to go back to my previous version, where everything works...
I'm really intrigued about Utopia. I've read that it's fast yet it doesn't eat up battery like other roms. I'm just wondering how do I upgrade to that. I currently have stock eclair and somewhat of a noob when it comes to rom upgrading. Thanks

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.

Paranoid uses CM9 kernel, therefore it is safe.

Looks like Paranoid is CM9 based so nearly no bricking risk there
Kingdriod is based on an official Kernel, so big risk of bricking .
I could be quite wrong here though.. do your own research.

Reading the first few post in the paranoidandroid thread...
The install looks very intimidating for new flashers.
And to complicate things, there is a list of prerequisites and DONT'S. IF.......
So Im freaked out by it all, but do want to install it..
My experience so far is to.. D/L the German XXLPY and install via PC Odin.
Then root, then Speedmod Kernel..
NOW.. the PA ICS hybrid instructions warns against flashing with ICS already installed with certain kernels.....
I got lost and confused...
{Q} Can I just flash PA ICS Hybrid over what I have got already??
or {Q} do I have to go back to GB and a GB kernel first??
thanks for helping out a new flasher.
And dont forget to lecture me to read..read..read.. research....
I know that & but I will need reminders (without links as wel)l...

Kingdroid it's pretty bad, it has very very dirty stuff and useless tweaks, its buggy and drive you crazy after 1 day of use.
The idea of that rom is good but "more" not means better so that guys need to do a clean rom instead a rom full of useless crap.

It's not confusing as long as you get the concept right. Just remember one thing.
All stock Samsung ROM are dangerous and you do not want to flash anything over them.
All AOSP ROM are safe and you can flash over them.
So what happens if you are on Samsung official like LPx, LBx, etc ? First, flash a gingerbread ROM with no wipe and then proceed with the usual flash procedure. This applies for ANY ROM that you wanted to flash not only Paranoid ROM.

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
