nope. mine is single back cover and not even the in-ear type earphone. I believe it's a costco version that available here.

managed to root xperia X8 last nite, using method from xdadev.

refer : http://208.100.42.21/showthread.php?p=8721121#post8721121

Succesfully remove:
1. viva news app (not using).
2. original gps app (consume big space), then install papago x5 + maps (trial mode but so far no problem.. don't know when it'll expire).
3. unnecessary bundled games.

now thinking is it safe to remove chinese keyboard app (also taking huge space) because i rather use 'skinned' better keyboard.

Anybody tried that?

azlanmy,

If is safe to root the phone... in-term of warranty???? and also can we recover back the phone to Manufactory setting affer root the phone???

Thanks

root will void the warranty. it can be un-root, but haven't tried yet.
the only reason I go root is to reclaim storage.
i believe x8 is among the lowest storage capacity in android.. is it?

Anybody that know where can buy diff back cover, pls update here. tks.

Anybody using the Compass app? Last time I'm using compass and it's ok. But now only pointing to north no movement for almost 15 mins. Is it require GPS to be enable first? Or the magnetometer can work independently?

Tks.

Just saw your post and hereis how I do it..

I'm using handcent and set it as default, replacing default sms.

After that there will be two sms notification, one from handcent n another fromdefault sms. U can see handcent shows the right one.

To disable having two sms notification, just untick notification for default sms..

It works for me

oh, now i know why that problem is gone. last time having same problem, but suddenly no more. tks for the enlightenment!

surprisingly, i am able to upgrade to 2.1 without rooting the phone.
all i did is connect to wifi, press on update search. then there is a message shows that update is available then i connect it to the pc and download it.

Guys, appreciate some advice. I am currently with GingerDX now. But unsuccessful to install LinuxDX kernel. Already root, install xrec, unlock bootloader using "msm7227_semc.cmd".

Whenever I flash the ftf, it stuck at GingerDX screen and halfway animation.

Any steps that is missed out?

TQ.
