What SE fails to deliver on the mini's - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Well , i made this thread out of my own frustration.
What is coming on the so called 2.1 update -( From SE product blog )
* Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more [ obviously ]
* New backup and restore application with extended content back up [Who needs that??? ]
* Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book [ Oh wow ]
* Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages[ Which 2010 android phone doesn't have that???]
* Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1 [ Really?? you kidding me??? ]
What we really want on the mini's-
* Unlocked bootloader [ i dont want my 2.2 update when my grandchild will be using mozilla seabird ]
* Multi-touch [ I know its a small screen but i like to have an option ]
* 720P HD [ If the processor is capable , atleast [email protected] ]
* Revamped UI [ Pleasee..................................]
* Some more camera options
* JIT

SE is not going to give much on x10 minis/pros.
I don't think we will ever see 2.2 coming from SE.. Android is the base of their 2011 line up of phones... obviously they would like to spice up their new models...

As far what I know...
1. Jit is useless on 2.2 course 2.2 uses compillar instead of interpritator 1.5,1.6, 2.0, 2,1...
2. 2.2 bases on arm v.7 instruction api set due to new powerfull chipsets (snapdragon & etc.). mini's Qualc. 7227 supports arm v.6 api instruction set.

no i hope some devs will crack the bootloader so we can use custom roms on ours devices

Even media player miss few features

I hope they fix some ugly bugs and add some more little features.

Atleast add albums to music player
I am fed up of searching for singer rather than albums
Also needed FLAC Playback

Yes exactly , are these dev's at sony really playing farmville ??

audio quality also kinda sux very low bass

I agree with JIT and multitouch (this phone would fly with JIT)
I'm also hoping for some updated sound codec drivers. The X10 Mini Pro has a lot better bass response (check the gsmarena review, I'm not yet allowed to post any links) and I'm hoping it's just a software tweak between both devices. It's a shame that the X10 Mini has almost no sub-30Hz at all.
However, 720p isn't really an option here.
There's no Qualcomm MSM7227 device with 720p recording, much less one with only 128MB RAM.
I'd be more than happy with 30fps WVGA recording with continuous autofocus, though.

Good points

Is it posible to install JIT using these steps for X10? :

For the bluetooth-part, i just tried recieving files from another device and didn't get it to work. But i tried with just one other device, could be different with others, though i didn't notice any difference to 1.6

open neotouch drivers

Hi all !
I'm opening this new thread because I really would like to know if someone has tried to open the neotouch driver. We will be able to do a lot of things, like improved photo quality by decresing the compress ratio ( just 900 kb for a 5 mpx camera is incredible low ! ), increase volume ecc..
So if you have something to say write here !
The only thing I can do is applaud the initiative !
Good luck!
A good idea, I think if we can, S200 will be even more exciting
I support this thread too, it would be nice to improve the compress ratio, and maybe to look at the video driver (which is almost the same than the hd2) to implement the htc youtube app !
mhm arto, have you even try to do that ?
As far as I know open driver is not easy and I really don't know how to do that, but I know that people has manege to open driver of many windows mobile devices ...so it's not impossible...
If we open driver we would also be able to make footprints and audio booster works maybe !

I thought about the video driver for decoding videos, not the 3d driver
arto is there a working youtube apps that work with neotouch ? the are all stacked bu our drivers ?

all cab and youtube packages I tried hang when navigate trough the video, thats the only problem with youtube and its because of VdecCore.dll and VdecTransformFilter.dll.
but if some one has a working htc youtube app it would be coool to show it to us !
Easier said then done xD, your better of trying to port the htc leo camera app, instead of recompiling the driver, but in the other hand porting the leo camera app wont be an easy task lots of recompiling and perhaps backwards engineering will be needed to do so ><
mhm but by porting htc leo camera app we will only made work only footprints and maybe youtube..open the driver will make us do a lot of thing..but obviusly I don't know which of the 2 thing is easier...rafy what do you say ?
I don't understand why do you want to dump crappy htc codecs instead of trying to adapt it to acer hw decoders...
becase we don't know how to open acer drivers...by the way maybe DMice can help us !
If you explain me what do you mean by 'open drivers', maybe it'd be a little bit clearer for me what do you want..
I mean modified them...as for now we can only take as they are ...
I really want to see HD recording on my Acer ,more powerfull LED light,thats all
About camera - Without considering that porting camera is nigh impossible, it wouldn't improve much if somebody did it because of hw - sensors, radio rom etc... And I wouldn't complain that some OEM apps from HTC don't work on neoTouch - it's not a HTC after all, remember this guys...
qsd8x50b is not capable of hd recording, don't believe this donate-collectors

THANKS!! Does it work with FroYo?
awesome! same as above froyo capable????
when I looked at the download it says CM 5.0.8 and I think it has the same radio as Froyo, so it should work, right? I will test it anyway and report back..
Will this MOD work with any kernel??!

5) flashed cyans 5.0.8t3 HERE
6) flashed the 720p update zip

absolutely wonderful! thank you
"Holy **** 720p" Best video quality title
Lost my usb cable so cant view videos on my computer yet, but i'm currently recording a **** load to view them later.
Thanks OP!
Did you modify anything in the kernel or just in the Camera app? Send me a patch and I'll get it into CM if you want.

[Q] videocam illusion and chipmunks?

Some of you have noticed that videocam illusion does work on a modded X10 with 2.2 but the sound is just like the chipmunks.
Does everybody have this problem or do only some of us have this?
I like the new roms, I don't mind that I need to use different programs to take pictures and video. But I do mind that we all sound like this.
Is there a solution or do we have to learn to live with it?
I use it and got used to it (all the sound etc.)
I can't even understand what's being said
I use the app and I got used to the annoying sound.
If you buy the full version there are settings, you can change the recording speed (i believe thats the one you change) to very slow, and that fixes the voices. You only have the option to change these settings in full version though
I use the full version and with very slow recording speed (0.5), I can record very well and with good audio.
I believe that it is important to mention that this software saves the video file in .mov (quicktime) format ... with the advantages and the disadvantages of that....
I look forward to see a new version of videocam illusion able to use different video format
Too bad there's no "perfect" alternative to SE's 2.1 Camera..
Hopefully the devs can put something together when Arc is out and use its firmware

Hi
At the moment i'm using the custom rom "MiniCM7-2.2.0" for my X10 Mini.
Well, unfortunately i'm having some issues with the implemented camcorder...
1. The recorded videos are stuttering. I've checked the framerate with the tool GSpot and it says 56 fps. Actually the video should be smooth with that framerate, but for some reason it's still stuttering.
Any solution for that? Would it help to overclock the cpu a bit? If yes, what is the maximum MHz i can choose without destroying my phone?
2. There is another problem with the camcorder:
When i'm recording outside in daylight, the video is much too bright - sometimes the whole screen goes white!
But when i'm recording inside where it's darker then outside, the video is much too dark - i can't barely see anyting on the display...
That also happens when i'm recording outside and then get inside in a darker place (still recording) - suddenly the whole video becomes totally dark - nearly black.
Am i the only person with this problem?
Well, then i tried lgcamera (latest version).
But that camcorder app also doesn't work properly.
As soon as i press the record button, the video freezes (not the app, just the video). All i can see then is a freezed picture. But that only happens on custom roms. I've tried several custom roms (gingerbread and froyo-roms) and several versions of lgcamera, but videorecording always freezes as soon as i press the record button...
Then i tried lgcamera on the 2.1 stock rom.
On the stock rom it doesn't freeze during video recording, but instead the same issues occur like with the implemented video camera in the custom roms: outside the video gets too bright and inside the video gets too dark! Well, at least the videos aren't stuttering on the custom rom using lgcamera...
I've read many times on this forum that people are using lgcamera without any problems on the X10 Mini - even on a custom rom! So how come it isn't working for me?
The only camera that does work properly is the stock camera in the 2.1 stock rom.
But i would like to stay on gingerbread or at least froyo...
Please, can anybody help me with this?

Well buddy.. I've got issues with the camera also.. Tried every app.. and unfortunately every app and setting failed.
centerguy said:
Well, that really sucks
I've just read your post in the CM7-thread (btw. very funny explanation of the camera ).
In that case i'll switch back to the 2.1-stock rom, because i really need/want a good camcorder. And the stock one in the original rom ist just amazing for such a small mobile phone. Continuous auto focus ftw!
Well, thanks anyway for your reply.

Yes you right in 2.1 camera its amazing coz its maked and compiled by aliens.
Yeah my post is funny coz when I wrote it I was 100000% pissed of by the ugly android camera.
Yeah I'm using minicm for cost of my camera but this is coz I have ST15i the x mini next brother of our mini and use its camera for my needs.
I'm much in with cameras I'm amateur photographer ,displays colours , saturation , optics , HD, pixels and so on , all this things its like my seccond nature. That's why I wrote this post there on miniCM treat and like you see no one answer on it.
And in the end its soo strange how devs can port hack make and etc whole OS but when job come to camera its go to dead end.
Only reasonable explanation is Aliens coz only Sony can make this happen.
Wish I had some pall from Sony to ask him to make camera work but I haven't ....

If these videos are HQ videos, then the problem is caused by the lack of OMX codecs for your device (armV6 on ICS lacks these codecs).

Thx for your earlier reply. So how can i upgrade that code or any solution for that?
the lag is because hq videos use divx codecs which is found on higher end phones........no way of upgrading it....google search for supported codecs for your device.it will be in spec list...then convert it the res supported by your device(also found in spec list) it will 320x240 like this....and choose your device's codecs using format factory or any other video converters...copy it to your device and enjoy

Qualcomm has not released the codecs for armV6 instruction set devices running ICS (because of incompatibility), so there is no way to update them.
