[Q] Upgrade the android version for xperia x8 from 2.1 to 2.3

[saurabh2889]

hi.....I have Xperia x8 with android 2.1
Is it possible to upgrade it to 2.3???? If possible,then plz tell me how can i upgrade it.........

 

[romcio47]

It's possible but only with upgrading to custom ROM (xgin, racht's ROM's). No official 2.2/2.3 ROM for x8 from Sony Ericsson ;(

You can use xgin, racht's roms, kuyaDroid etc. They can be found in the development section.

there are some broken functions. Pls read the log in every ROM.
e.g
So far camera in all 2.3 ROM is just VGA.
If you want 3.2 mp camera, you have to go for 2.2 (like froyobread, floyo etc)

p.s. if you can find ROM with 3.2 mp camera, please let me know.

yes u can upgrade it..but not officially though..i recommended using kuyaDROID (android GingerBread 2.3)..but the only thing is the camera..only works with VGA quality..anything else works fine.. ^^

I actually recommend GingerDX.
Why? It's smooth (like CM6 in menu scrolling, flinging, it's not choppy like other GB roms.)
And wait for v4 (it will use FreeXperia WiFi libs and GPS fixed)

Also if u are familiar with FroyoBread it will have all the special features included.

Bug: VGA camera :/

GingerDX v004 has just been released. You could give it a try.

GingerDX v17 or GingerCruzt r7.4 actually are both good choice to upgrade X8 at 2.3.x, but FroyoBread 023b (with android 2.2.9) is another good Rom!
