How To Install Android On Wave?

How to install android 2.3 apps on android 2.1?

• I have a sony ericsson xperia x8 with android 2.1 on it. My problem is that not all application on market or any other source is available for android 2.1. there are some apps who works only on android 2.3. I have even downloaded the .apk file on my P.C and tried to install it on my phone but it wont allow me. Is there a way to bypass this protection?

• Answer:

  Firstly You must root the phone by installing the Z4Root file. Open your application installer and find Z4Root where ever you placed it onto your SD Card, install the Z4Root. The phone will restart on its own. The phone is now rooted. 2: Next you need to download clockwork recovery from the android marketplace. There is a Free version and a Paid version. The free version works just fine . After downloading the app, open it and under the 2nd tab of the app choose the reboot into recovery option. 3: The phone will restart itself and a black screen with blue/green text will appear, it is recommended to create a backup before installing anything new. Next, Choose the “wipe data/factory reset” option and click yes. Then choose the “wipe cache partition” option and click yes again. Lastly, click the “advanced” option then scroll down to “wipe Dalvik Cache” and choose yes again. 4: Once you have wiped the three files, choose the “Install From Zip” option, then the “choose Zip from SD Card” option. (You should have the Android 2.3, gapps and Metro backup Files on your zip already, If not, put the two files onto your SD card then repeat the last step). Then scroll down to the “Cm7-Ascend-05142011” option, the new operating system will now be installed onto your phone. 5: After that, choose the “MetrOFF.v1.1-MMS-[GB]-[CM_AOSP]” option. This fixes a bug that caused users to not send multimedia messages properly. 6: Now choose the “gapps-gb-20110307-signed-1.zip”, this installs all of the google apps onto your phone 7: After installing the Gapps file, choose the “reboot system now” option. Your phone now has Android 2.3 Operating system!
