i got mine for christmas too but a few roms i tried to use didnt work with the newest version of the N8 software so i downgraded to an earlier release. Also make sure your rom folder in inside of the EDFC folder but if none of this works i copied the entirity of the sd card in my N8 and you can just wipe your card and replace it with the contents of mine. I already have the practice rom installed too.
