Hi, i tried to update my xperia x8 to doixanh's froyobread or ginger dx and I didn't have much success. I downloaded the latest update file, moved it to sd card, boot into xrecovery and install custom zip. When installation was completed,i reboot it,and I thought it will be good, but it wasn't, it was just your logo of froyobread and nothing was happening. I waited for like 10 minutes and still nothing. Same happened with ginger dx. I'm using the official android for my x8 (2.1 update 1) and official kernel and everything. But i have xxx015, that number he wrote we must have. I really don't see any problem, can somebody please help me? I would really like to use his roms.
Thank you a lot.

As the title says i have problems installing custom rom on my android phone.
First time i installed a custom rom was 4 months ago and at that time, it worked ! I installed CM7 and it worked with a few small bugs but now i found a better version of cm7 and i tried to install serveral times and it didn't worked.
The custom rom i tried to install was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554530
What steps i followed:
1. I rooted the phone with superoneclick v2.3.3 and it was ok
2. I installed ClockWork Recovery from android market and flash recovery (v5.0.2.8)
3. I selected a custom rom to install and until here it was fine.
So, the phone has rebooted himself and the installing of cm7 began ...
And from here start the problem: After installing, on the screen remains the writing ANDROID like in the picture from the attachement. (the picture is made in paint)
So what is the problem,what i've done wrong ?
This is not the first time i install a custom rom,i know how to install but i don't know what is the problem now ...
Sorry if i posted in the wrong section,but i'm new here
Thank you in advice
can someone help me please, i really need to update android !
no one ?!
i need help with this,i can't figure out why is not working ...
nevermind,i solved myself
you can close this topic.
I have the BLU Dash 4.0 and was wondering if anyone has a custom ROM for it? You really cant find anything about it online except on how to root it. The root process was in Spanish but Google Translate will help. Can someone take a look into it please?.
Thank you,

BLU Dash 4.0 Update

Its running stock android and a lot of the lag is gone.

Download the update I posted on rapid-share
{**rapidshare**.com/files/21...20130521.zip}
(just remove the asterix)
Then follow these instructions, to get to recovery mode I don't know if your phone will be the same; you could always try.
1. Drag the update zip folder to your sd card from your computer.
2. after its on the sd card turn off your phone then
3. hold the power button and the volume down button until you get to the recovery screen.
4. select apply update from sd card then when everything is done installing turn off your device one more time and hold the power and volume button and select factory reset.
if you dont do a factory reset after you install the update then the google play store and anything from google wont work.
so make sure you do a factory reset after the update is done.
Hope that works
Found this thread from GSM Arena and applied the update. Thank you flickpiston for posting. It's a start in getting these phones some dev love.
With that said, about 24h have passed since flashing the update and this ROM is not much better than the original that shipped. I still experience frequent FCs, freezes requiring battery pulls, and battery drain. But hey, at least Google Play Services finally installs like it's supposed to.
Unfortunately, this ROM still has BLU's hands all over it considering there are some dialogs in Engrish just like the factory ROM.
I rooted using another guide translated from Brazilian Portuguese and applied the V6 Supercharger and it has somewhat helped with the lag. I'm going back and forth between the 512 balanced and aggressive settings.
Let's hope we can get a real recovery on this phone soon. And a proper ICS/JB port.

I found out that the XOLO A500 is extremely identical to the BLU Dash 4.0 and they have a CWM recovery that i tried and it worked when i flashed it, but when i turn off the device and try to go into recovery a second time it takes me into the stock recovery instead of CWM recovery. I don't know why it does that
Yeah, going by the specs it seems that the Dash 4.0 is a rebadged Xolo A500.
On another note, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I have finally tamed the lagging and crashiness of this ROM using zepplinrox's V6 supercharger and KAK scripts. Specifically I switched back to the 512HP balanced settings, enabled the Nitro Lag Nullifier, fixed permissions, and wiped the dalvik cache. The KAK script has everything enabled except for I/O scheduling since I don't want to risk bootlooping without a proper nandroid.
Finally, consider downloading No Frills or some other CPU manager. For some reason the cfq scheduler is the default; I switched it to noop. Also you have the choice of using the interactive governor; this also cuts down on lag at the cost of more battery.
Thanks for the info it really does help. Till now i didnt know about supercharger or KAK scripts. I see improvements . I think the best thing to do right now till the development starts on this phone is to try and find compatible phone that already have developments for them and see if they work, because a custom rom would be nice.

Thank you for your conduct I downloaded your rom but I downloaded from dev-host host because the host Rapidshare very glimmering. I think some friends in a thread for my phone in my country have contacted with some people who also using BLU Dash 4.0 and get the rom from them. That's maybe you, guy I also don't know . I will try update your rom later.
Back to the main subject, as I know, your phone(BLu dash 4.0), my phone (Q-smart S20), Xolo 500, Cherry Burst S280 and Gsmart R1, they are running on 3.0.21-perf Kernel Version and the same hardware like: ram, cpu, os,....., so I think they can use the rom of each other, I have tried with all but the rom of Gsmart R1 does not detect SDcard on my phone, others run well. And now i am using this rom of blue dash 4.0 and satisfied it. In forum in my country, we have a thread with collective rom as i told, if you want to try those roms, i can share. :fingers-crossed: Sorry for my bad English.
Something went wrong when I had tried to update this rom. My friend is trying researching more. In this zip pack, we found that it has many files *.enc, it doesn't like any zip packs which we have flashed.
I am happy to report that I have finally stabilized this ROM to the best possible degree. Scratch that, no I didn't. But the following HAS cut the lag. Forgive me if I repeat myself from previous posts but here are the steps I took in hopes that others can duplicate and confirm:
1. Root using this guide and use Google Translate. You will need the Android SDK, the script in the OP, and the Qualcomm driver linked further down in the thread.
2. Install Busybox from Google Play.
3. Optional: Install Koush's Superuser as SuperSU has been bad news in my experience especially if you wipe caches.
4. Grab the latest Supercharger script. You will need to carefully follow the instructions. You MUST patch services.jar as explained in the thread. I suggest using the balanced settings for 512 MB but of course you're free to use any of the 512 options. You should also try using the Nitro Lag Nullifier.
5. Optional: Grab the Kickass Kernelizer script. DO NOT include I/O tweaks.
Caveats:
TiBu freezes the phone if you try to backup the system apps. Backup your user apps and data. I'm still trying to find a way around this.
DUDE
HEY MAN could you make a CUSTOM ROM AND UPLOAD, because its difficult to me to do all that you said... i want to eliminate the lag

No, guy, I also don't know about that difference so I ask you.
About your rom, I have just update it successfully via Blu's recovery, not success on my phone's recovery, are you using other recovery, guy? I really like this rom, have you tried installing the Gsmart Rio R1's rom? I like both but prefer to Blu.

Hi everyone,
First of all I would like to mention that I really searched and obviously I did not find anything, so please do not spank me for not trying (I used search box and google).
Here's my question, I already have on my beloved Xperia J a version of Cyanogen Mod 10, but I would like to know if in case of update I have to repeat the same process (flashing the boot.img using flashtool etc.), or maybe even downgrading back to ICS, or do I have to only download the Cyanogen Mod 10 and press the update button in recovery menu? I am wondering about that because previously I had HTC Wildfire and back then everything was much much easier.

You just download new fxp cm10 version and flash it through cwm recovery.. without wipe data partition...without flashing ics...
What about installed apps and data? Is everything there after update?
