Where can I find whats new in each FW revision? - XPERIA X10 Android Development

Howdy all,
Just recently got an x10 and have been looking through the forums and on Google, but I can't seem to find what each new FW revision brings to the x10 overall.
Anyone know where to dig this up, or if it's even available? Ive been debating rooting my new xPeria x10a on Rogers, but if the new fw doesn't do much besides add a new widget or app then I don't want to bother (although rooting sounds pretty swank)

No public changelog from SE unfortunately.

[Q] Android 2.1 ready?

Are here people with android 2.1 on the phone??
with KPN brand, I can't nothing find on the update in the Wifi phone??
A few people have 2.1 but only because they either work for SE or are Developers. Only a few weeks left till everyone will get the update.
Please, do not feed either him or topic. We all know why.
We should be getting the 2.1 soon. Q4 is pretty much here.

I've had contact with SE and they tolled me that the update to Android 2.1 for X10 mini and mini Pro will come in Q4 of this year....
Well, at least for The Netherlands....I don't know anything about the updates for other countries...
Wasn't there something about at the end of september? Late Q3?

Gingerbread on X10. Officially.

Hey guys I know everyone's excited about this but there's one bad side to it. This thing may be unrootable but I'm sure the geniuses here will crack it. But unfortunately the bootloader will now be even harder to crack. And most countries won't get the update so you'll have to get the global update from here which isn't a problem for me. But if we root Xperia arc we can most likely root our new x10. We need a preview so we can work on this

Simple answer: Gingerbread 2.3.3 on X10 is built upon the same thing as Arc... if u can root Arc, u can root X10... simple.... Richard on the SEBlog already made it very clear that they are building 2.3.3 for X10 based on what they have for Arc.... I think by then, bootloader cracking should be pretty much out of the picture cos everyone will update to gingerbread.... and then most of their mobile contracts would be up in prob a few more months and they would upgrade to a 2.4 device....
But we cannot lose root either way. I want this but they have to lift the frames per second cap limit and enable 16 million colors then root or not I'm going to it because that's all what kernels will do anyways so its awesome

I've tried rooting a preview version of the Arc using SuperOneClick but it failed so I hope the devs can get root on 2.3.x.
Video coming soon.

I believe that the current rooting methods used on the X10 do not work on Android 2.2.1 or newer firmware. In Android Source code, Google has patch the security hole that allowed for these to work.

dont worry guys.... all that we need are the kernel sources... leave the rest to Bin4ry, J and the team...
Don't worry we'll get this down. The only gingerbread rooted so far is nexus s. We need to know how they did it. Otherwise we can always use a custom rom from here

Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
we have 6 months or so until release, so I'm sure the experts have more than enough tine to figure it out
Lol yep and everyone needs to update to generic firmware. If you get generic you'll be the first to have gingerbread when it releases. That is how I got the official Sony Ericsson dual touch update.

Upgrade to gingerbread in Q2/Q3 removes the 32fps caps?

Hi all, since i heard the new xperia arc has its multitouch and 32fps cap removed, will the gingerbread upgrade come with it too? Will it also have a different kernal to allow wifi tethering? Will we also have like 16M colours?
I hope this would all happen
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I don't know about the others but I'm pretty sure we will get the fps unlock. I would be stupid for se to lock it again

who knows? Anyone giving opinion here will be providing that, simply opinion. No one has any idea what the update will provide, as the press releases were very vague. Time will tell, I suppose.

Yep! Agreed!
And if you wanna stay on top of this gingerbread release follow Rikard Skogberg over at the official SE blog. He updates with new posts often, and when more news comes about what the X10 will and will not get with the gingerbread release you'll probably get it there first.
The only 2 things id like to see are 16m colors and 32fps unlocked. Oh, and hopefully they leave the EV control on the stock camera.

gingerbread in Q2/Q3 for X10 was planed not to impact ARC phone sale, given, clearing for X10 phone, without gingerbread, handly will ever clearing up the remining stock X10.
gingerbread already running with ARC, I do not see SE not able to deliever it, in my view, mostly, X10 gingerbread upgrade will end up same spec function with ARC. Also will never unlock bootloader to ensure, no impact to ARC sale business.

that depends if the boot loader gets cracked / sony unlocks the bootloaders
For all I know, I love this phone but all that keeps it down us the sluggy touchscreen due to the 32FPS cap and I hate it.
The colors would be good also.
multitouch was said to be impossible due to the screens structure, but in the update I would hope also that the dualtouch isn't add pathetic as it is now.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
wifi tethering for sure as we can do that even now with apps like barnacle
and 32 fps cap would most probably removed..
but i am doubtful about 16M colors and unlocked bootloader
I just want root access in the gingerbread update.!

The modification on the camera department makes me worry that we will loose the goodies of the camera . But only time can tell what comes in and what goes out.
Hopefully the devs come up with a 2.3 mod so we don't lose the features.

A modified GB kernal would kick ass.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The kernel for the 2.3.2 update should be 2.6.32pref9,the very same to the present kernel in the new Xperia products....
32fpscaps removal do not have too much hope.....SE will never give them such crisis.If we get it removed,most of us will keep our phone longer....They need people to butly their 3rd gan. Android phones.

Im pretty sure sony will modify the x10 add here in Australia, and I suppose other countries, the x10 is quite popular and common, and I do not think that a lot of people have heard of the Xperia arc yet.
The contract plan area here is almost dominated by there x10 and Iphone.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Is there a reason why the X10 comes with the 32 fps cap? Is it for battery life?
Yes,there is a reason.
The reason is that SE think that we will buy their new product by locking our phone

16M colors, 32FPS cap removed and the same speed as the Arc gingerbread and I won't really mind not having rooting access for a while. That's all I want.

Sony x10 2.3 rom here soon ?

Not sure if this has been said, the Sony PC companion software has just updated today on my laptop.
Does anyone think the new 2.3 gingerbread rom is imminent ?
I am a UK Sony x10 user.
Thoughts on this anyone ?
Not anytime within the next two months im sure.
I do not think that
They stated Q2/Q3 which is June/July for Sony-Ericsson. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed by a month.
I'd expect it around July/August. If it comes out before, at least I could feign happy surprise
User unknown13x who has some connections to SE and has been right about a lot of stuff, said in a thread I can't seem to be able to find right now, that the update is scheduled for release in the last week of june or so.
Edit:

They'll release it when they're good and ready. Do recall, folks, this is Sony Ericsson we're talking about. They release things on THEIR schedule, nor ours.
To prove this point, look to 2010, when they said that Éclair was to be released in mid Q2, then early Q3, then mid Q3, then end Q3, then finally pushing it back into November, and even December for some people.
Shtuff happens, and we'll get it when we get it. I for one am content as is right now with my TripNMiUI Gingerbread build. And there are many, MANY more over in the Development forum for you to take a peek at in the meantime.

[Q] x10 to get 2.3 gingerbread??

does anyone know anything about this?? if its true, woohoo! check out the article. its in the middle of the page.
http://blogs.computerworld.com/18077/android_23_upgrade_list
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/03/25/update-on-xperia™-x10/
"Sony Xperia X10: Sony disappointed countless customers when it said its Xperia X10 line of phones wouldn't be upgraded past Android 2.1 earlier this year. Now, however, Sony has reconsidered its stance and said it will upgrade the Xperia X10 to Android 2.3. According to a company blog posted in late March, Android 2.3 -- 2.3.3, to be specific -- will hit Xperia X10 phones late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2011. Before you get too excited, though, note that Sony says the upgrade will be delivered to "generic trade versions" of the phone -- and that carrier-customized versions may or may not be included. "We will have to get back with more information on this at a later stage," Sony says, "but we want to be very clear already at this stage on the fact that some of you may not get this upgrade." Sony also notes that Xperia X10 phones will not be upgraded again beyond the Gingerbread level."

well what does that matter? I have AT&T, i plan on putting 2.3 on here the same way i put on 2.1. flashtool. some dev will post the global 2.3 rom and we'll download it... compile it with flashtool then flash it. no biggie. i dont like pc companion anyway.
I think they should start banning everyone who posts things related to "when" or "if" the x10 will be updated to 2.3 this is really annoying.
Banning is too extreme. a warning will do just fine

wow that's great I have another great news too:
Geohot has bought an X10 to crack, Now that we have him on the case it won't be too long until the bootloader is cracked yay
