I have tried to install it with rooted stock 2.1. It says: "Application not installed"
How could it be the xRecovery with 425 kb while Xrecovery.tar file at least 1.6 Mb?

---- the file previous is not working, so a new apk file is updated ----

Yap, it's working.. I already tested myself
Update: It was working, but i reboot my phone and it bricks.. I can acess to xrecovery anyway, don't know how.. xD

I will try it if u tell me what's update?

Lol, it's so hard to move 3 files with Root explorer.
Anyway, good work, but i won't test it with this comments for bricks... I prefer old school.

Yes it sure is hard to move 3 files with root explorer
maybe not but i can't get xrecovery to work by moving
3 files to /system/bin (if this works) this installer is welcome
but i will wait before i try it out, I don't want to brick the phone a second time

I'd still install busybox from the market first, just to be on a safe side. That's what you normally do with xRecovery installation, and this seems to be only an automatisation of this process.
Still, good work, both thumbs up for the author!

Install Flash 10.1 On Android 2.1 Xperia X8!! (Tutorial)

SORRY! IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!! THREAD CLOSED!!!
Here is the step by step guide on how to get Flash 10.1 on your Android 2.1 Eclair geared Xperia X8:
(1) The first step is to download flash_for_21.zip to your computer and extract the .apk file.
(2) Now navigate to the market and install “Apps Installer” utility to your phone.
(3) Now connect your Android phone to the computer and copy .apk file to your SD card. Make sure that it is in SD card root and not in a sub folder.
(4) After this launch “Apps Installer” on your phone and follow the on screen instructions to install flash_for_21.apk file.
(5) After installation is complete, simply reboot your phone and there you go! You now have Flash 10.1 on your phone.
Link Below!
Cheers!!
This is very useful post.
But after i fallow the instructions i still don`t see the flash working in my browser i try to open vbox7.com which is a site like youtube and try to play a video but that don`t work.
Why ?
Does it work?
This method is completely safe for your phone in every sense?
Yes this is safe but don`t seams to work at all.

check the links. no bootloader cracking has been done. basically, someone has pre-rooted 2.1 rom. to copy the rooted rom, 1.6 rooted rom required.
Yeah, but as far as i know, the bootloader has to be broken before any custom roms can be installed, ?
If not, i can install vanilla android 2.1 on the phone right? as long as i got the right drivers for cam and such?
I have X8 2.1 rooted Flash 10.1 does not work

[Discontinued] Mini Pro xRecovery .apk Installer v1.4

Discontinued
New Recovery Installer HERE
muchas gracias
cool thanks. but errm installing the titanium version of busybox won't work as its a) 1.6 that does not work with xrec and b) this gets installed primary only in a special titanium backup folder where only titanium uses it. (you can copy it to system but you then will break your xrec install - wont start)

no need to install that file manually. I have just included it in the new xrecovery update file (in attachment)

thank you guys, you are quite simply awsome! One very last question, will this work on the latest 2.1.1.C.0.0 build?

I haven't tested myself, but I assume it should work.
Same baseband and kernel were confirmed to be the same as 2.1.1.a.0.6 in some other thread
in fact, only a few files were changed.
I will compare both releases tomorrow. Maybe I can find why was that update made
I am suprised SE do bot publish changelogs with these kind of things... I'm guessing its something to do with stability or security.
I will try and put up a full and clear youtube video to show youtubers with X10 Mini Pro's around the world how its done next week as there are so many people on youtube looking for this, it will bring many more people to these forums and who knows they could become great contributers here.

Awsum work mate.. was waiting for dual touch which could be flashed through xrecovery. Made my work easy.
It would be better if you could create a new thread on this.
Quick question: The new file you made was named "dualtouch_v006.zip" should this be renamed to "update.zip" or just run this file from xrecovery with its orginal name?
And will innstalling this throuhg xrecovery delete anything of the personal data on the phone?
Sorry aboute the bad English and aboute the silly questions.
You shouldn't rename it, just install it from xrec with original name.
keep the same name, and no. it will not delete any personal data.
Thanx "bitmovel".
Does this go for themes aswell?Do these not delete any personal data?
it does nothing else then adding multitouch.
it does not remove anything at all

Timescape for Galaxy Ace

Here is Timescape from Sony Ericsson, it's very easy....
1. Extract the file, you'll get - META-INF, and system
2. Open the system folder and copy all files from the folder system/app to system/app, etc/permisions to system/etc/permissions, and framework to system/framework
3. Set the permissions( all files copied ) to rw-r--r--
4. Copy the build.prop ( attached below in build.rar ) to system and replace. Backup the original bulid.prop if you want restore to original
5. Reboot....
Sorry for my bad english, I'm just 14 years old
screen shot please
Thank you but can u post some screenshots ?

Try this. I just made 5 min agos, flash *.zip via CW. I also modified build.pro. Tested on my own rom worked well
Doesn't work for me either. Tried manual install with root explorer and your flashable zip. no changes at all. Running Stock 2.3.4 KPH from samfirmware.

copied files to sd card - used root explorer (r/w) to paste the files in their direction - changed pemissions - replaced build.prop - reboot.
You can try my *zip file. It is installed via CW and everything is more simple
THX~!! it works on my ace with kpn stock.. but just to activate it manually in menu.. and the backgrounds seems to be a little dark..facebook doesnt show up any stat even after i log in... ><

Which device do you have ? The Mini or the Mini Pro ?
What I know is that you can use Suquasinputmethod with the mini pro, It could work too on mini, to confirm. It can be found on any GB rom in the right forum.
But you have to know that there is a bug with the symbols panel, it hang if totally slide up or down. To free it, you'll have to turn the device in landscape then back in portrait.

3> converting the ftf rom to flashable zip rom and adding the suquashilinputmethod.apk to system/app, then flashing the rom and stuck in logo-loop.
why anyone else says nothing about this keyboard? this is the only keyboard that is user-friendly! all other keyboards are just TOO difficult to type! its a 2.55 inch display!
