Hey guys,
this is a Port of the recently in released in China.
This ROM can still be rooted by SuperOneClick root. Xrecovery comes preinstalled though. Do not forget that the W8 still comes with Android 2.1 still its nice as some of the stuff was updated. So if you want to update you existing 2.1 this might be a great choice.
You can remove any app you don't want from the zip or copy the ones from 2.1 to the zip you need as well.

Please Backup your build.prop before flashing so you can revert back to original state

Links

W8 Port v1.0 Please read instructions / This is Android Eclair (2.1)

Instructions:

  • place on sdcard
  • boot to xrecovery
  • install as custom zip
  • if you come from other custom rom (higher than android 2.1) do a factory reset BEFORE flashing the zip file
  • reboot (like stock SE firmware for pro) takes awfully long




The Works:
  • Everything

The Not Works
  • Nothing found so far

Bugs:
  • Some stuff is not ldpi like the widgets but it works pretty good.

i only edited to make it work with mini and also deleted chinese input method and changed suquashi framework so otherwise we couldnt really use the hardware keyboard. if somebody need chinese i need the mini pro chinese input method. which i didnt have. now we are at least able to use hardware keyboard and the stock t9 input method from sony mini pro stock rom.

Hi Slade,

Sorry for my ignorance but what is the difference between this ROM and the original SE ROM 2.1 for minipro?

Thanks

Only one question :)
The W8 has a 3.2 Mpix Hardware camera ! So this ROM allows only 3.2Mpix picture or 5Mpix ?
I'm not going to use this ROM, I prefer your amazing Froyo ROm :D

    this is based on the newest 2.1 sources and you have "S.E walkman".
