Bro, how to install the x8 driver? Sorry for being such noob. BTW, anyone tried H.A.W.K?
*
extract the contents into a new folder (i put mine in desktop) then plug in the phone in flash mode, (im using w7) so when i plugin, it auto search for drivers, then it says cant install, just go to control panel, hardware, device manage, u will see a SEMC kinda drive wif a yellow triangle icon, jz click on it go to properties, update driver by linking it to the folder u made. i did this without installing pc companion, im not sure if this is even needed wif pc companion installed.

HAWK reso is too big for our screen, can play but a big chunk of the view is being cropped of, and some major controls are there. so dont think can play.

Should be no problem. The battery need at least 5 full charge cycles to have full potential.

sos tiram illustrated rooting procedure is a great guide. since we live in community, hope you don't mind my comment:
- need to add to pre-requisite: download & install SEUS (for the driver)
- please include superoneclick 1.6 rooting tools

great if we can have x8 thread

ooo yes, you're right, I forgot to show the most important part, installing the driver doh.gif
I do hope someone update the 1st page to summarize everything, or open a new thread and merge with this thread.
Going to Jit my phone after this.

and bro awis, do you change the top bar notification colour and icon? It's kinda hard to alter the framework, maybe you can give a good link/xda forum for us to try it

btw, Happy New Year all laugh.gif

-Edit-
I'm trying this http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xpe...ck-theme-d.html
but stucked at Sony Ericsson Logo doh.gif

Just found out there's a thread at xda forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889963
so user propc is Awis, this is great, we have a master on Lyn notworthy.gif
and I manage to changed the framework, luckily I got Xrecovery installed biggrin.gif

No problem, you said backup, yes, it's a good idea to do backup, if anything happened, just do the restore, no need to re-flash back biggrin.gif

For backup, I'd prefer xRecovery, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426
The installation seems to be easy to follow.
QUOTE
Manual Installation:
- Download and unpack the recovery package
- use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder


To activate
QUOTE
Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears.

It's better to test 1st whether it's working or not


How To JIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565 (I'll explain again with picture biggrin.gif )

1) Download JIT http://bit.ly/JiT-toggle

2) Open CMD (Command Prompt) and change directory adb folder. Type this command
CODE
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

the file build.prop being pulled out to the folder, as below: make 2 copies of the build.prop file, 1 is original, 1 is modified

3) Open the file build.prop with notepad. Modify it as below
Change
dalvik.vm.heapsize=30m
debug.sf.hw=1


add this at the end:
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
save the file.

4) Extract and Copy JiT-toggle-0.1 folder to the SDcard.


5) Inside JiT-toggle-0.1 folder, copy & overwrite original build.prop to vmlibs_stock. Copy & Overwrite modified build.prop to vmlibsv2
picture below

6) Next, type
CODE
adb shell

then
CODE
su

important: check your phone, superuser request will pop out once you type su, allow it. In case it's not pop out, manually go to superuser, and allow it. Otherwise you'll get permission denied.


7) Type
CODE
cd /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1

important: in your phone, Turn off USB storage (unmount). Otherwise you'll get error can't cd to sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1


8) Type
CODE
sh enable_jit.sh

your phone will reboot and you'll have jit enabled laugh.gif

Below is the picture

After JIT:

Feel free to modify, in case I forgot anything smile.gif

Sos, I did use this method. But I feel it affect some part of x8 performance. So I decide to disable it. Restart and freeze at se logo. Unlucky, I have no backup. Reflash all over again.

I don't know maybe I made some mistake somewhere. Anybody with success story perhaps can share his.

*type this using x8 and it not that easy... tongue.gif

This method works but better to backup if it goes wrong. When disabling the jit, yes, it will hang the phone. enable jit again then it's ok. I just leave it enable anyway, so far no issue biggrin.gif

Yes and No. There is Garmin for Android but only exclusively for Garmin Android phone. Use Papago X5 as I think it has the best map from malfreemap so far.

Yes will malfree map update but it is just POI with regular speed trap area.
Now with the new speed trap gun, more portable they can easily change location.
For me this function is useless.
