hi guys,
i just bought Experia X8 2 days back. kinda new with this android phone and market.
so, yesterday, i started downloading a few apps.. well actually around 20.
downloading and installing it was a breeze. but after some time i got the message that i am low on space. it seems that it has been installed in my internal phone memory. so my questions are:

1)How do i install it in my card memory??
2)can i just try to find where is the app folder and and copy it to my memory card?? or must i delete it and download it again and set it to phone memory..which i don't know how to set.

please enlighten me here. thank you.

it says that my firmware version is 2.1 update 1.

does that mean that i cannot move that app to the card?
in that case, is there no other way to download the application to my card other than rooting ??

yep, i'm kinda newbie and kinda scared to root my phone. is there anyone out there have rooted their experia X8?? please help me out as today i can feel that the phone is kinda lagging due to insufficient apace.
any help will be appreciated.

hi guys... i tried rooting today but didn't work.
this is what i did.
i downloaded the SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse (i don't know whether this is correct or not but i think it is correct)
i went and enable the USB debugging in my phone.
i plugged my phone to pc and clicked charge phone and i confirm i didn't mount my card.
then, i run the superoneclick app in my PC.
it ran and it comes out with
-----------------------------------
SuperOneClick v1.9.5.0
Checking drivers...
Failed

Killing ADB Server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

OK

Waiting for device...
--------------------------------------------
and then it just hangs...
i tried plugging and unplugging and then tried to run the superone click again but still same.

what am i doing wrong? what is missing?
any steps that i do is wrong? please help me out here.

hi guys... after i posted the last post. i tried updating my PC Companion.
i didn't install the new PC companion for X8 and i had the old PC Companion.
after i did that and i tried to root my X8, i was able to do it!!!!

problem solved.

so, for those newbies who are going to root their android... please make sure the PC Companion is installed first, make sure you are using Windows 7(if XP, need to install .net framework i think) and also make sure USB debugging is enabled.... confirm can root easily.

goof afternoon khalpowers.

i was able to set the second partition as ext2 and also set it as primary.
so, now i have 2 partitions.

-the first partition is FAT32 which is 6.43GB and set as Primary and Active.
-the second partition is Ext2 which is 988MB and also set as Primary but it is not active.
(but when i set it as active,the status of the first partition automatically becomes none?! is it correct? should i set the first partition as active and the ext2 as none because its either one only can be set active at one time)
