PROJECT COMPLETED 100% - NO MORE OFFICIAL UPDATES!
Guys, unfortunately this is my last project. I have something called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and my doctor said it will back (now I'm healthy) if I will use my hands like before. Maybe my development won't end forever, but my project like ROM ends 100% - lately I don't have much time on working on new projects like before - my study, my private life, much more other things. I met here lot of awesome people, and I won't leave you after this project will be full relased - my support should be long, and we will talk like before . Please respect my decision, and for now, just read this thread, cause this is what some of you waiting for . Don't think about my departure for now :P.
So let's go, a little text before we start everything. I want to say big Thank You for all Developers, which help me in the past, all people who are with me, all fans, all haters (), and just.... everyone. XDA community here is one of the best, I've learned a lot in my "carrier" and I think it was great journey, with lots of smile, lots of bugs and force closes, tooo muuuch code and scripts, and any other awesome things inside Android platform. I don't want to call anyone from name/nick (but you know best guys here of course, and I don't need to show they ^^), beacuse everyone made some nice features for our X10 devices, all of us have something to glorify themselves. Sooo....Thanks again for everyone.
Some news was on DX7 thread before, but I don't want give you links for every post, I will just write them all here, with much more correct info:
My ROM (version S-Style and Light) based on Semc Debrand Engine (thanks for Achotjan, without him those version won't even relased )
Gaming and Stock-based has other sources.
There are 4 version of my last ROM - S-Style, Light, Gaming and Stock-based with possible 2.6.32.9 Kernel (we will see how development in KTG Team goes).
Every version have other destiny - and You are the person, who choose one!
I don't know what to say more - read words under and you will know all!
Based on CM7 Android 2.3.7 or Android 2.3.4 without CM.
Mobile Bravia Engine.
xLoud.
Playstation Certificate.
Timescape.
Facebook & Twitter (and mooore).
Track ID.
Music in lockscreen (and changing it with volume control buttons)
Walkman music app from ICS update for Xperia NXT (big thanks for w4lkm4n).
Xperia Sola Keyboard (with voice options).
KGSL Drivers (at least in S-Style, Light and Gaming). UPDATE: In Stock-based version we have it "partly", read more if you want.
Create Yourself ™ - my own idea. You've seen this in all DiXperias - it's something like "you choose stuff and version you like, and if you need something, you just apply this like extra file. No need to delete tons of apps you don't using and won't" - it's simple, fast, and has potential .
Different themes, depends on version of ROM (see screenshots), Xperia S like, more brightness, some Gaming crazy .
Apps and firmware taken from Xperia S stuff, ports etc. (music, lockscreen, widgets, home, font etc.).
Scripts, tricks, tweaks - they promise lot of fun, lot of performance and lot of stability ^^.
I think it's enough but you know it's not everything - I'm sure I missed a lot of features, but it's up to you to test it yourself if you really want to using this ROM.
To don't make mess in this post I will update info about next screenshots, when it will be published. For now:
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- Of course Root + Busybox.
- Unlocked Bootloader - that's why Stock-based version appear too .
- Required Kernel (look on Download).
- CWM Recovery.
- Baseband from official Android 2.3.3.
Stock-based:
- Of course Root + Busybox.
- Locked or Unlocked Bootloader.
- Stock SE official Kernel from official 2.3.3 (in ROM there is pre-installed Custom).
- xRecovery (should be 0.3).
- Flash through 2.3.3 based ROM - can be Stock, can be some Custom, no matter, important is baseband.
Depends on version too, like requirments:
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- Download ROM (+ optional addons) and put it on your SD Card.
- Flash correct Kernel through FlashTool (.ftf file).
- Go to CWM Recovery and make Full Wipe and Wipe Cache, then clean your Dalvik, fix Battery and Fix Permissions.
- Choose .zip to flash and select my ROM. Wait...
- Done! Reboot and feel free to use this!
Stock-based:
- Download ROM (+ optional addons) and put it on your SD Card.
- Go to xRecovery and make Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Battery Stats and Fix Permissions.
- Choose Install Custom Zip and select my ROM. Wait...
- Done! Reboot and feel free to use this!
Golden-Suggestion -> If you like my work and you are using it right now, please glorify it on your signature with this graphic:
Golden-Suggestion #2 -> I want this thread clean best possible. Of course you can write here anything is connected with DX8 project, you can write some reviews, write about bugs if you find some which was not posted before, give link for some videopresentation if you made some, screenshots and more, more. But please - if you want thanks to me or anyone, click THANKS button, or if you want write some "little-offtop" go to Discussion Thread(thanks to Lakshay, ddddanger and all guys who will help them in support of my ROM ), where you can talk about everything, not DX8 only ^^.
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- To get Xperia-theme-like lockscreen go to CM Settings, choose lockscreen options and select the first one.
- If you want Xperia Sola Keyboard first you need to open Stock keyboard, and configure it a little (do you want help or auto-correct etc.). Then just flash required addon and here you go ^^.
- Don't use any backup!
- After flash my system give it few hours for better stability and ~one day for applicate all scripts/tweaks/tricks.
- Flash every addon separately.
- Simple, but no one understand it. If you want to have better battery life just decrase brightness.
- If you have any problems with standard apps like FC in music, not working Clean Bass option, not showing notifications in lockscreen or FC in conversations - reflash ROM, don't forget to fix permissions and after few hours of using reboot few times. Should help.

-In my opinion, interactiveX, and frequency of CPU 384-1152MHz gives awesome stability and performance .
For everything - tons of files are here, you have great stability, good performance, it's nice for simple 2D games, awesome for business and everyday use. Few things are optional.
- Camcorder on 720p lags - recording is fine, but playing isn't.
- Downloading info about music starting, but not downloading.
- There is no Fix Permissions option inside CWM Recovery? It's really strange, cause I have it, and some guys too (not all). But this isn't the most important option (it's for installation progress/info), so you can make it other way, if you need (but you don't have to, without it everything should still works like a charm!) - just use ROM Manager (not include in system).
- *not exist anymore, flash fix from addons*Settings options in SMS app FC - I will try to fix it ASAP, need to find reason.
- Cyanogenmod settings->Interface->Notification Power Widget->Widget Buttons and little down you have Brightness modes which cause FC - sorry, don't know what's wrong.
- Protected Media Scanner FC when you use ROM, in every possible place - you can just freeze it, it won't cause any problems again.
- Deep Sleep problem? Impossible. Should work like a charm. If not then - wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition, or go to Cyanogen Settings->Performance->Cpu Settings->Governors and select any of them, then reboot.
- PcCompanion FC when unpluggin device from USB - it's not causing any problems, just one info about unexpectable stopping app, so I think you shouldn't notice it - you have fully working plug-in with PC via USB.
- The style of incoming call doesn't seem to change when you try to modify it in Cyanogen Settings - this ROM is Xperia themed, so some CM options don't work, cause we have SE framework and firmware and we can't change call screen for example.
- Intermittent listening music when using bluetooth headphones like MW600. - it should appear only on Stock 2.3.3 ROM, not on 2.3.7 with CM7 (but sometime I have it too, I have MW600 bluetooth handphones). My suggestions is increase minimal frequency of your CPU, to fix it a little. Besides, we can't fix it 100% if we working on SE features.
- FC when answering some calls - Don't know what caused this, but it can be easily fixed, if you change lockscreen type of answering .
And read this and this for some more information, if you still have problems...
*Except that everything should work like a charm!*
It has my own theme (I know not all people like brightness or light-blue, and I'm really sorry about it), with usefull apps inside ROM. Good for gaming, if you delete some hungry applications. If you don't want games, it has sort of addons, to make this version much complete for everyone - like Create Yourself ™ should do ^^. Much clean than S-Style, for everyday use and more. Test yourself!
- Camcorder on 720p lags - recording is fine, but playing isn't.
- Downloading info about music starting, but not downloading.

- Themes not working? - It was exclude from Light version, and won't appear like addon, cause it's not S-Style (which will get Themes as addon), just Light - fast and clean .
- FC when answering some calls - Don't know what caused this, but it can be easily fixed, if you change lockscreen type of answering .

I tried to make something like real gaming adventure and you can see this in attached screenshots. Need to say this one is for Premium Users only, but it will be the same as DiXperia Gaming, or better! Of course ROM for enthusiasts of gaming. Not much addons, just required like Google stuff to download games, standard SE apps for making this best possible stable, but the most important is the performance inside this version - unleash your X10!
- Camcorder on 720p lags - recording is fine, but playing isn't.
- Some CM options not working - I deleted required files, to make it more clear - and we don't need it I think.
- There is no Fix Permissions option inside CWM Recovery? It's really strange, cause I have it, and some guys too (not all). But this isn't the most important option (it's for installation progress/info), so you can make it other way, if you need (but you don't have to, without it everything should still works like a charm!) - just use ROM Manager (not include in system).

- Themes not working? - It was exclude from Gaming version, and won't appear like addon, cause it's not S-Style (which will get Themes as addon), just Gaming .
- SE apps like Music won't work, cause I deleted some files, and Xperia music eat too much memory (that's why we use jetAudio or PowerAMP), so it can't be in Gaming.
- *fixed*Alarm clock and changing alarm tone (caused by deleted SE Music library, thanks for ddddanger). [Fix here]
- FC when answering some calls - Don't know what caused this, but it can be easily fixed, if you change lockscreen type of answering .
And read this and this for some more information, if you still have problems...

This one based on Stock 2.3.3 with 2.3.4 features from 2011 line and 2.3.7 firmware files from Xperia 2012 line. This should offer 100% stability without any FCs, with fully working camera and camocorder. It's good for everything, it's something like S-Style version, but for people who don't have unlocked Bootloaders, that's why that version appear. make.believe :P. Possible 2.6.32.9 Kernel, if will be stable and 100% working (it's future plan). For now you can choose any Kernel for 2.3.3 you want. <- UPDATE - Kernel is included, and I won't use 2.6.32, cause it's not stable as I thought it will be when this version will hit. But there is very fast, good and stable 2.6.29.6 .
- In my opinion - nothing much, maybe some little missings, which could be fixed via addons like Google Stuff or SE Stuff or If Something Now Working (hope you get what I mean :P).
- Not exist on my device, but can be on yours - MMS send bug. How to fix it? Follow this.
- Sync not working? (or something in it like account etc.?) There is a fix for that - just flash Google apps/stuff addon.
- If you noticed some random reboots of device, there is a way to reduce it maybe. The main problem is caused by pre-installed Kernel and can't be fixed on some devices - this is paranormal activity in my opinion, cause some X10 have it, some not (mine not). How to? Please, first flash DX7 ROM -> then flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?9ocfayefh7h9l46 -> and then DX8 Stock-based. It's confirmed by my two friends from my forum, but I can't guarante that it will help you too .
Further discussions and questions about the rom in the DiXperia8 Discussion Thread please. I won't answer any of the questions asked here.
Please try and keep the development thread clean.
Thanks !
Now, on first page, you see relase dates for upcoming S-Style and Light versions. Sorry for long waiting - it's the fastest date to get those ROMs, me and Lakshay trying to fix every bug or FC and make it fastest. Take care everyone.
-We have Walkman ICS new apk working from new Xperias (but not exactly -> it's modded style based on Xperia S music player - but you will feel like Walkman, so I can name it that way ) Will be as addon, cause my ROMs (S-Style, Light) was already uploaded, just need to relase it, date is in first post.
-There is possible fix for camera - as my ROM is based on some SDE sources (thanks to Achotjan) - we should create correct fix after relase for everyone who needs working camera, but don't need KGSL (we can't apply full KGSL inside Stock Kernel, that's why). More info about it soon, maybe until that we will make some progress.
-Gaming version is 60% done. Theme is ready 100%, scripts are good now, I need to only test some games, and apply many possible tweaks to increase gaming experience for this ROM.
