I've recently bought myself the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. It's my first smartphone.
The thing is, I tried to install/flash the cyanogen ROM. And being a n00b with smartphones, I failed ofc. Eventually, after a few tries, I bricked the phone. I was caught in panic, I couldn't take it to the store because the warranty was probably void.
So I searched the web a bit and found a way to save my phone, and installed kuyaDROID custom ROM. And it's a really cool ROM I have to say!
The point of all this is, I wanted to put all the essentials together, to make life a bit easier for other Xperia X8 owners who like to experiment with their phones.
I've just gathered all this stuff of the net, so the credit goes to all the people who wrote those tutorials, and wrote all that software and ROM's, making the life's of others happier
I'm not gonna write a guide or something, I'm just gonna link to other peoples tutorials, and provide links to software.
