[Q] Xperia X8 Custom ROM

Dear All,
i am new to android and even on XDA threads, may be i am posting this thread on a wrong place, so m sorry for that..anyways i have got xperia x8 black running v2.1, last night i rooted and installed xrecovery on my phone, and after that i installed another custom ROM on my device, which were not fully functional at all...i googled and searched over these forums but couldn't find any proper ROM (or i am unable to look for a proper one). Please provide a link for direct download of any custom ROM (perfect & stable) version greater than 2.1 (preferably 2.2 froyo).
Thanx in advance.
Osama

At the moment I'm running GingerDX on my X8 and I love it. I've been following X8 development for quite a while now and must say I'm very happy with doixanh's work so far.

Every device is different, but there are very few devices that have ICS right now.
I'm not sure on your device, but most likely it doesn't have it.
So, i am sorry, but no. You can't upgrade to ICS :-(

Yep, thats true - if anyone makes a port for your device you could use ICS on your phone, or you try to port it on your own

Its just a rumor, no official post from sony :|

Re: Xperia tipo Official Jelly Bean
You guys are believing in rumors? SONY only Upgrades their 2012 High End Xperia and Latest 2013 Xperia to Jelly Bean.
And yes it's correct as someone stated above that SONY never made an Official Statement about it.
And Why this thread belong in Development Section? Whats the development in here? This thread is belong to the General Section because no Link to SONY Source nor Download Link to that "Most Likely a Lie Firmware". So please move this thread to the General Section (Just wanted to make this Forum Development Tidy)

Most likely untrue. It just an article quoting another article. Looks like Tipo will stay together with ICS.

yep i will belive this when i can update tipo..

This is the last official information that I read when I bought my phone:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2012/12...an-android-4-1-for-2012-xperia-smartphones-2/
I read too (but I don't remember where :S) that Sony doen't update to Jelly Bean due to performance issues ... but I can see in this forum many custom ROMs with Jelly Bean in our Tipo :S
I would like to see an official Jelly Bean on my Tipo.... I have locked bootloader and I can't install JB ROMs
Regards!

Just Google it u will find many articles about it...
Rumours have some base they didn't come all alone fake....:laugh:
Well tipo Can be upgraded to jellybean
As there r two mobiles worst than tipo
Galaxy music and chat that are getting jellybean..

Nope. Once, there were rumours of Xperia U getting Jelly Bean within a week. A week past and it announced that Xperia U will not get JB. So most likely the rumours are fake. Besides, Sony usually do not upgrade ultra low end phones like Tipo.

Don't rain on my parade :/
Just kidding I also think it won't be. That is what this forum is for. Just wait FXP to be stable and that will be our "jellybean" update.

Yes one day cm10 will be stable
But if xperia tipo get JB than development of CM10.1 for tipo will start...:laugh:

Yes as I understand, then the development of CM10.1 will be easier and more stable because of the new kernel/drivers or something released by Sony.
However, Xperia J got jellybean already and devs can take that from it for CM10.1 for Tipo/Miro and there is no need anymore for official jellybean..

I think FXP will not develop or port it until we got jellybean...:angel:
Also there are many users that have locked bootloader...
Tipo/Miro development is very slow

As far as I know, the phone's RAM is not enough for the JB... but the Xperia E (with the same hardware as in Tipo) comes with JB OOB, so that should not be a problem...
Anyway, can't wait to see a method that allows custom ROM installation in phones with locked bootloader, like in Xperia Sola.

AW: Xperia tipo/tipo dual Official Jelly Bean
As I stated elsewhere I think it's all about the money... Here on xda you can find jelly bean Roms for old low end phones. Example: x10 mini, great stable jelly bean Roms are available there. And those phones have even worse hardware then tipo... Sony could provide jelly bean if they wanted... But why should they want it? They want to sell new phones! So don't complain, buy a new phone or support the devs here, even with donations, so they're motivated to make all this efforts! Just my personal opinion...

Has sony abandoned xperia l?

Hii, sorry i searched for a thread like this but didn't found one, so if there is a thread already existing like this i apologize for that_
I wanted to ask that has sony abandoned xperia l? so many days but still no news for an android 4.3 update, let alone 4.4_
No stable aosp roms like cyanogen or aokp.. Will it stay like this or what? Does somebody have any news?
My previous phone was samsung galaxy y, which is a low end phone but it has a hell lot of roms and even when the device is discontinued the roms are still developing_i think xperia l has potential.. Can't it support roms like cyanogen (official stable version) ? Hell even xperia m got one, which has only 4gb of internal_
If somebody have any kind of news please reply.. m sick and tired of checking the updates daily_

Xperia L Future?
Hi
I feel the same for the Xperia L, Sony hasn't given an update schedule for it, there are is no news/rumour on either 4.3 or 4.4 for the Xperia L furthermore although we are backed by official CM support the maintainer is a bit quiet in terms of progress, what makes it worse is that the phone is not that popular especially with the SP overshadowing it.
With my previous phones (Xperia X10 mini pro, Xperia X8 & Live with Walkman) the XDA forums were so full of ROMs/mods/everything you would want-they only got better for me. But with the Xperia L it all feels dead - I reckon mostly because of Sony's lack of info on updates-no one wants a phone that has no good update outlook.
I hope that Sony will update our beloved Xperia L to a stable Kit-Kat, not asking for anymore-the phone does deserve it, beautiful hardware at a nice price.

Yea

I too owned Samsung Galaxy Y. It was a very low end device but had many developments. I bought XL due to cost/performance ratio was good. Unfortunately there is so slow development

Sony has no reason to update our phone since it's a mid-range device. That's why we didn't get 4.3 or 4.4.
Sent from my C2104 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Yeah I don't think we're gonna be getting anymore updates.

There will be one more major update to our phone.. Mark my words!!

If what I hear is correct, we should get a working CM11 by the end of this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I don't think Sony has abandoned the Xperia L just yet, honestly.
Perhaps they'll release 4.3/4.4.2 for it someday, but be honest: most people buy the flagship models with their contracts (Z, Z Ultra, Z1, Z2) so they prioritize those.

Yeah we get a very nice performance phone at a cheap price but at the cost of slow development

I checked the list of devices which sony has confirmed won't be getting any updates anymore_xperia l isn't in the list..
But it occurs to me that xperia sp and xperia m were launched with xperia l (xperia m a little after i think) but the phones have received major updates_this thought troubles me..
But we can't do nothing.. we just have to be hopeful and wait for the updates i think
Unless some superhero makes the aosp version stable for us_

well, there's no official statement from sony about dropping the support for xperia L and it's still within the 18 months cycle. So, who knows?:fingers-crossed:
can only speculate whether there will be another update or not, but it's just speculations, so . . .
no one but sony can answer "has sony abandoned xperia l?"
other roms like cm, aokp, etc has nothing to do with sony, it depends on the community :victory:
the official cm is currently in "coming soon" section in fxp :victory:
sony had supported the open resource project by giving the kitkat aosp for xperia L i guess..
eventhough it's not good enough for daily use :crying:
btw i check the updates of the development daily too
well, since there's ptcrb updates on xperia M and it's still within 18 months policy
finger crossed :angel:
