Can someone provide the modified vendor files for kitchen to cook X8 roms ?
If you have a friend who cooked roms before for hero/legend/g1/nexus devices, ask him to cook one for us, this is the fastest way :)
For those who never cooked a rom, this link might be a start :
http://source.android.com/porting/build_system.html

Cooked rom should use our original 2.6.29 kernel of eclair and our rild libs, rest of system should be prelinked to those files.

Gingerbread (2.3) is available in AOSP repository, there's a very good chance we could have it running before SE release froyo if ever.

I have tried this rom Prime from LG Optimus P500 (same cpu and screen).
Flashed with xRecovery, than before rebooting copied over xRecovery files back to flash (to be able to return to my backup).
To enable "adb logcat" debug, put adb-enable file in /data/property/ directory.
The rom booted, i saw android 2.2 bootscreen, but than it crashed..

porting the rom to X8 should be easy. i read it somewhere at the cooking section
will try later.

Hi Propc,

"porting the rom to X8 should be easy",
Make it working is not that easy, what's the use of porting it then......

Just a post because i read a lot that everything is so easy...
Complicated thing 's are NOT easy.

i have moved/copied the busybox chargemon and xrecovery to /system/bin
the files are there but it skipps the thing at the SE logo. i have tested with holding the back button and pushing the button a couple of times.

For those who can't have it work try like this

1. Download and install busybox from marketplace
2. install this apk file http://www.mediafire.com/?prj83693lv94lut its the xrecovery for X10 big but install it anyway
3. download the real files for xrecovery in the first page http://www.mediafire.com/?lz6gwgohuakvbfo
4. move extract the files you downloaded to your sdcard
5. Use Root explorer to copy/move the busybox, chargemon ant the xrecovery.tar to system/bin after you done that it should work

    Just download the zip file below and extract the 3 files on your SDcard. Go into root explorer on your phone and copy the 3 files in the folder: "\sytem\bin\" Restart phone and enjoy xRecovery ;)

    Yes probably it checks system name and gets halted. Edit update script and make sure u remove such checks. Be sure to reinstall xrecovery after.

    You have to set up permissions to 777 (rwxrwxrwx)

    This is how I solved it:
    1. Made sure I had Root Explorer installed. To move files.
    2. I pushed the archive from the first post to my sdcard.
    3. I already had BusyBox installed from Market.
    4. Ran: bunzip2 #ARCHIVE# && tar -xvf #ARCHIVE#
    5. Moved each file with Root Explorer to /system/bin.
    Now, this should work.

    I hope it helps ;)
