Just wanted to ask if someone can clearify some things.
If I use the 2.2 xRecovery ROMs is the 2.1 kernel or the 2.2 kernel used?
Camera doesnt work because of lack of drivers. Someone will have to write a driver from scratch? Maybe some luck with 2.3 drivers from the SE Arc.

If somewhere in time X8 get Froyo, will there be Flash support? Cause i read that the flash support depends on processor or something like that.
10x for you answers.
Well the official statement from adobe is that flash 10.1 requires ARM version 7 CPU and our is version 6. Despite of this there is custom froyo roms for other devices with arm v6 cpu so it should be possible. The short answer is that is SE make official froyo or gingerbread rom for X8 it will be probably without flash or with flash lite 4. If we manage to make custom froyo rom it will probably have flash.
Why we don`t start a work on a custom froyo rom ?

'We' is funny word. It means 'I will try to do nothing, but I'm waiting for others'
In fact I can try to bring this up myself but I am new to Android development not new to Linux (as an Unix System Administrator). So if someone give info what is needed to be done I thing that I can create a froyo rom by myself.
As I understand the problem with froyo is that it use a different kernel then the eclair. But because Android is basically linux the kernel don`t affect the software only affect the communication with the hardware (drivers). So we have a 2.6.29 kernel on our X8. If we can use the same kernel for the froyo apps then we can run froyo as well on the same kernel (same hardware) also we can run Android 2.3 on the same hardware/kernel.
there are different APIs.. eclair uses API 7, froyo uses API 8 (info from Android SDK).
so there can be difference in drivers and other.. but it's only my guesses, dont blame on me

You can study the asop froyo rom made by zdzihu for x10 and try something similar for x8.
I don't know anything about linux so can't help you there...
Sent from my X8 Rooted+JiT+App2sd
As I understand this ASOP Froyo MOD is only the system.img and data.img and it`s exactly what I need to make the rom for X8 basically what I thing should work is to flush the Phone to 2.1 rooted and after that on the part when we copy the /system folder to copy the one form the Froyo MOD this will work i suppose but need to try it.
Installation process is quite ok but you'll need to make it compatible to x8..
On milestone it was possible. Old kernel and fully working froyo features. It has bootloader locked by 1024 rsa key. Its possible to build froyo on old kernel, but who can do it? We lack of experienced developers unfortunately.
Flash is a different matter, it won't work witch our processor, but froyo optimization is far more important.

Dear All, I am using Z's Custom FreeX10-Beta4 2.2.1 with baseband 2.1.54 on my X10i right now. From the posts I infer there is a 2.3 update for the X10i as well. But somehow I lost track of all the so-many updates pouring in.
There is a Cyanogen CM7 RC1 v00x ROM out there, is it Froyo or Gingerbread?
There is a Cyanogen CM6.1.x ver x out there, is that Froyo or Gingerbread?
If I want Gingerbread, which one do I choose? And if anyone of the above is Froyo, is it better than Z' FreeX10-Beta4? Moreover, I have made a back-up of my Beta4 through xRecovery. Does that mean that if I somehow screw up with a new ROM installation, I can always go to xRecovery and make a complete recovery to my backed-up Beta4 without having to manually flash baseband .54?
A little guidance would really help me guys. Thanks and cheers.
ZR,
FreeX10-Beta4
Hi, I want to see how Mediascape runs in Android 2.3.3, but I wanted to know if it it's possible to get the app from an X10 so I can install it on my X10 running 2.3.3. In case I can, do I need to root?
Thanks in advance.
I think that's not possible. is between 2.1 and 2.3.3 to the consuming
Wolfbreak say this on his WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread Thread.
Wolfbreak said:
Sry but SE dumped Mediascape in 2.1 becouse it needs to much Time for OS Upgrades becouse porting Mediascape to newer Android Versions is critical and a longtime Process even for SE so i think theres no way to get it in 2.3, sorry!

i want gingerbread 2.3 sony stock rom , is there any flashable zip files for it ? or atleast i want the stock firmware download link? can someone plzzzz giv me that
All 2010 devices from sony ( x10, x8, x10 mini, x10 mini pro and whatever i forgot to mention ) have been given an update to Android 2.1 (Eclair) and that's it.
There is no Stock Rom for our devices from there on, so no Froyo or Gingerbread. The reason this site exists is to allow us to bypass the limitations set by the hardware manufacturers and run software beyond what they give us.
So, if you want Froyo or Gingerbread.. run a custom rom, you can find many of them in the development section of this forum. If you want Gingerbread or ICS stock.. buy a newer device from Sony

Just in case you're not aware of it, your phone needs an unlocked bootloader to do that, pay very close attention to see if your simlock-certificate is supported, otherwise you will lose the capability to use it as a phone.
Kernel: nAa kernel for gingerbread
Rom:MiniCM7-2.2.0
Sony style: Sony Ericsson Stock Mod
Have fun with it
