X10 get Gingerbread but what bout x10 mini and x8?

Whilst Xperia X10 owners are rejoicing on the news about Android Gingerbread heading to the headset, unfortunately it is not good news for the smaller Xperia models. Sony Ericsson has confirmed that as they need to “prioritise” their resources and thus there are no current plans for the X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 to receive the update. What we do know with SE is that they always seem to change their mind, so if you’re being optimistic maybe we will see it at some point down the road after all.

boost your xperia performance with a custom JIT Compiler

Definition;

In computing, just-in-time compilation (JIT), also known as dynamic translation, is a method to improve the runtime performance of computer programs. Traditionally, computer programs had two modes of runtime operation, either interpreted or static (ahead-of-time) compilation.^{[citation needed]} Interpreted code is translated from a high-level language to a machine code continuously during every execution, whereas statically compiled code is translated into machine code before execution, and only requires this translation once. for a deep info refer here 


Why JIT? 


XPERIA is so slow... that why we should do the tweak... hehe... 


Requirement before doing Jit:


1. a rooted xperia with the latest busybox
2. xrecovery installed
3. all the necessary file.


this jit compiler version only work with xperia x10. 
Download: JIT_Enabler_v2-zdz.zip


the main tread at xda-developers


HOW-TO-INSTALL

Download JIT Enabler v2 to your PC. Do NOT unzip the file

Transfer the file to your Xperia X10 SDcard. Put it on the root and give a easy name to look for.

Re-boot into xRecovery.

From the xRecovery, go to menu select ‘Advanced Options’ and then select ‘Wipe Dalvik Cache’. It will ask you whether you are sure, select ‘Yes – Wipe Dalvik Cache’. this will not reset your phone. dont worry. you can google for the definition if you want to know Dalvik mean.

in xRecovery menu, select ‘Install custom zip’. Select ‘Choose custom zip from sdcard’ to browse where the zip file is located on your memory card and install the file.

after that just go back to the main menu and reboot the phone. after a few boot the the speed of the phone would increase significantly. 

my score with Quadrant Standard with overclock Widget boost. before Jit installed.

after Jit installed.

thanks to the Dev at XDA-Developers for this powerfull tweak. all credits goes to them. 

installing xrecovery (Xperia X10 only)

so for this post i'll be posting How-to-install xrecovery on your xperia x10

What is xrecovery?

"xRecovery is a custom recovery console that allows you to manage backups and install ROMs, themes and applications from zip files. Other functions include the ability to wipe your phone and manage partitions. "

This is the only xrecovery that would only work with the Xperia x10i. So I don’t recommend using other app that you might find on the app market, unless you have made a study on it.  Remember! I don’t guaranty other app or method will work. You might brick you Xperia.

A special thanks to xda dev member

zoz33 for his apk installer!
Walkmann for X10 HD solution

You can get the latest xRecovery from the Xda forum. Version 0.3 is latest version during this writing that works perfectly on xperia x10 and for xperia x8 get the 0.1 version. Try to visit the xda-developers forum for the latest info on the xrecovery version and method on installing.

Requirement before proceeding,

1. a rooted xperia

2. busybox by stecricson- can be download from the market.

3. of cos the xrecovery.apk from a trusted source.

Features:

·         ADB root shell

·         Reboot

·         Install update.zip from SD Card

·         Factory reset (full wipe)

·         Wipe cache partition

·         Install custom zip

·         Backup and Restore

·         Partition tools

·         Mount/unmount partitions

·         Format partitions

·         Mount as USB Storage

·         Advanced options

·         Wipe Dalvik cache

·         Wipe battery stats

·         Fix permissions for apps (FC fix)

How to install xrecovery,

transfer the apk file to your SD then Open xRecovery installer app with a file manager and tap "Install xRecovery"

look at the picture below, follow the sequence of the picture, the xrecovery installer only help you detect the xrecovery.apk file and installed it.

after installing the xrecovery installer, let the installer look for the xrecovery.apk file that you have put in the sdcard. put it on the root of the SD to make it more easy to find.

make sure you select the "allow" button,

success!!!

Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xrecoveryZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw

Notes:
Please bear in mind that it's not the regular android recovery (we cannot replace recovery image without cracked bootloader). Instead, the boot hijacking is used to start recovery mode. You still need basic files on your /system partition to use this. NEVER use the "format /system" option (it's there only to check if anyone reads this long, boring note).

This recovery is NOT tested for compatibility with app2sd! Use at your own risk.

This recovery WILL be used to flash custom roms easily.

DO NOT reinstall busybox. Recovery depends on it's particular busybox version

TESTING!!!

If you are confidence with the installation, its time to do some testing. It may sound easy, but sometime we just make mistake. So testing is required. To boot into the console, restart your phone and press the back button a few times after the white text Sony Ericsson logo appears (its the first logo that appear when you start up the phone). Once it starts (something like the following picture), use the volume-up and volume-down buttons to scroll through the menu. Press the home button to select an option and the back button to go back.

the xrecovery interface should look like this, 

this guide is base on the guide from the xda forum thread.

installing busybox and verifying Root installation

What is Busybox?

"Busybox is a tool pack that brings additional handy LINUX / UNIX based commands. We need to install this app as some of these commands are needed for certain root level tasks."

that's what you get when you ask the Developers at the XDA Forum.

Installing busybox in Xperia X8 is not hard at all. You dont have to be a techgeek to do so, But the main thing is to get the phone ROOTED first. To get your phone rooted, pls follow my post before this. Then, Busybox is the Second thing you have to get, to let your phone do additional task that i cant do before. You must have Busybox installed Before proceeding to other mod on your Xperia X8.

To install BUSYBOX,

1st, Open Android Market, type on the search box ‘Busybox’. Get the BusyBox Installer by Stericsson.

2nd, after installing, open the app and tap on Install on the bottom of the app (make sure to give the Super User permission to get the app operating). Tap on the latest version of Busybox. Dont worry about the warning when you open up the application. our phone are compatible with the busybox version.

If you have a .sh file of busybox in your SD card, make sure its the latest version so that the installer would detect the busybox. If you does not have it. just tap on installed, wait till it finish downloading and installed the busybox.

then you are done.

as and extra percaution, i recommended you to install ROOT CHECKER apps. this is to verify you installed the apps correctly...
