1. Yes, thats fixed, it works fast and stable ! (there's one big problem - sdcard is not properly seen for camera/music), still testing it ..
2. Yes, it will be possible to flash into internal memory later.

1) For the first problem i recommend throwing a pm to zdzihu- he has employed the same technique to get dual boot in x10 and his rom is able to access sdcard for camera/music but we cant mount sdcard
2) If flashing into internal memory is straightforward then i recommend it since it will solve all the above problems

Looking forward to testing
(where can i get x8.img and data.img? or are you gonna release it in some time?)

Well done pulpoff2, I will test this solution, when I gone back home from work. Thanks

thank you . i am downloading the flies .

Following my weekend theory, I finally managed to boot 2.1 on X8 with root.
I will post the files shortly.
The process is quite complicated for now, but early testers are welcome.
So, to start u need :
1. Flash 1.6 and root it
2. Copy busybox and rootshell to /system/bin
3. chmod 4755 /system/bin/rootshell
4. copy chargemon.txt into /system/bin/chargemon
5. chmod 777 /system/bin/chargemon
6. copy data.img and x8.img to SDCARD root directory
7. Flash 2.1 KERNEL ONLY (put 2.1 firmware files, remove system.sin and userdata.sin from firmware directory, than flash)
8. reboot your new 2.1 pre-rooted X8 !
Wasted weekend .. was it worth the hassle guys?
Cheers!

Here are the files you need to boot :
pulpX8.rar

ext.rar contains e2fsck to check .img for errors before booting, if you will not install these, booting should work anyway.

P.S. this is a very early stage solution now, wait until I make it clean, or try it if you are a flash maniac

No, do as I wrote in first post, move 2.1 files over 1.6 files, than just remove system and userdata and flash than..
