2.3 Gingerbread coming to X10..BUT... - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is a catch...That we can't go back to the previous (current) OS version...
So my question to all those who have already updated to Gingerbread, how smooth is it on the X10...Arc looks smooth, but then again, there might be some hardware differences...
So...are we going to be lucky or doomed???

You are the 27 millionth person to post something about the gingerbread update. We will be able to flash back with flashtool without any problems shortly after our devs get their hands on the update.

How can anybody possibly know before actually updating the X10 to the official SE Gingerbread?

Your title says "coming" and you are asking whoever updated to post their comments!! Interesting
It's not released yet and won't be before "End of Q2 or Early Q3".

I don't know where am I going wrong in being clear, but I will try again..
For those who have ALREADY through a hack updated to 2.3, I am asking THEM how is X10 reacting to Gingerbread...
To the people who have updated it through the ROM of 2.3...AM I clear now?
Now nobody will talk...

I'm sure the 2.3 custom ROM would run differently to the update that SE are bringing out.
If your specifically trying to find out about the custom ROM - I suggest looking in the gingerbread thread in the development section.

you guys could have just answered his question.... but your too proud apparently.. anyways gingerbread runs faster and smoother than and 2.1 or 2.2 rom on X10, the stability just isn't there yet for the custom roms. I anticipate that sony's ginderbread release will be just as smooth or smoother(not accounting for any slow sony bloatware, that will likely be removed immediately by most XDA followers.)

It's not that... It's that it is impossible to know how a true firmware will run, comparing it to a custom rom is rubbish....
Also the sony gingerbread will be way different from the gingerbread versions we have as custom now.
So how can we answer something that is impossible?
Not to mention the million threads about this already.
Feel free to go blow each other in a corner though

Reading all the SE PR the 2.3 will be AOSP Gingerbread. If the kernel is updated (presumably it will) will customs ROMS be written to take advantage of it or will custom kernel be the way????
Anyway, when SE say Q2/Q3 I wouldn't hold your breath unless you have good lung capacity!!!!

Jerpelea's cm7 is gingerbread, it is very faster and snappy, the internet us very fast. it is still a bit buggy, but is rapidly improving, plus, with the future custom kernel, it will be way faster then whatever SE puts out, but once THAT software is rooted and tweaked, it will be your best choice, until the next ROM and the next after that, until our hardware can't handle it

You made logical sense and I want to thank you for that. however the last comment was uncalled for. You can go **** yourself too in that case...
If you can abuse, so can we...And those million threads dont ask THIS question...

Why don't simply wait for the official update and stop adding useless threads?!

Mate, the Gingerbird you see here is Custom ROM made from Sources. The Official Gingerbird has to be good. Until we see something we can't really say.
For your question: It's very fast compared to 2.1/2.2 . That I can tell you.

Yeah, the official SE gingerbread will be a lot different from these here.
The ones you find here are not yet all that stable, but SE will make sure of it, or elso the X10 owners will kill them, or at least make their life miserable xD

Current best ROM to use?

Hey,
I'm currently using MoDaCo Custom ROM 3.1 on the HTC Hero GSM, which I've had running since I first rooted a while back, but I was wondering if it is worth using a different ROM now? What is the best ROM to use at the moment, eg the most reliable? I'm asking, simply because I have been running Android 1.5 ever since I've owned the phone.. and it's now starting to feel rather out-dated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Down to preference. Im running VillainRom 10.3 with JIT enabled. Its stable OCd at 710 and get 4.8MFLOPS on Linpack.
Have decent battery (although only added JIT and got it stable today so that will affect it, but shouldnt affect it too badly

I fail to see what your sig is getting at, it seems to be an attack on villain for no reason at all. Your saying your getting around 3mflops at the moment (same as villainrom) then you say that with jit VR only gets 5.03 as if thats bad?
Anyway to answer the OP you just need to try different ones and see what you like.
VillainRom has an OTA updater that makes updating nice and simple, plus we are working on having a stable JIT release soon
Edit: apologies if I have misunderstood your sig

I don't attack Villain??? It's a great ROM but for simplicity and speed etc. I think Cronos Droid is the best... But I don't really get what you mean?? When did my sig say that 5.03MFLOPS is bad?

Ok Keep the work up on Villain im looking forward to that JIT release
I was in the extact same place you were a while back, I think the problem your facing is trying to find a ROM thats as stable and as fast as modaco 3.1.
My suggestion get vanilla eclair 3.?? - 4.0 its stable, smooth, as fast if not faster than modaco and you get some nice cool features that seem to be missing from most hero ROMs.
You do however loose sense, but anyone with any sense will loose sense.
oh its also 2.1 as far as I can see, and its my current stable, everyday use ROM, occasionally you do get this freaky error when you unlock....very trippy, but just lock it and unlock it and the problems fixed.
Hope that helps, it does have a slightly shaky install, but if you want just PM me and I can help.
I like the chocolateEclaire. Faster than the vanilla and with all the features you desire.
On my Hero for a week and its a stayer.

Im looking for something which is anything greater than Android 1.5 and with google maps navigation built in.. can anyone help me? Theres so many different ROMs out there now, its got all confusing..
Its alright now guys, all my rooting knowledge has come flooding back to me and I've been testing out some ROMS. Thanks for your help though =)

hi... and a question or 2, please help =]

hi guys i am new here so please be kind =D
ok, so i have a t-mobile g2 which i got in february and have been waiting ever since for 2.1. i am tired of waiting and am also thinking that 2.1 is probably a waste and would rather root.
so heres what i am looking for in a custom rom: longer battery life, overclocking, something that dosent lag alot (sense dosent but it has its annoying moments, especially on the lock screen), ease of use. you get the idea.
now i have not done alot of research into the custom rom area so any suggestions would be great.
and a second question: what is the best and safest way to go about rooting?
cheers guys

Cronos Droid 1.7.1 is the best for what you're saying It's THE fastest ROM out there

You will need gold card method iirc
VillainROM 10.3 with JIT and ninpo's bfs kernel is really fast. And you mention lock screens. Vr has stock android one too with selectable wallpaper and working alarm
cool, thanks will take a look at these cheers.

curlymanoliver said:

In my experiences with it it's the fastest official 2.1 ROM along with VillainROM (Cronos Droid is also based on it but MoDaCo is more "raw" (more official) if you can say that) but Cronos Droid is even faster because of Feeyos modified libraries MoDaCo is a bit more laggy at times but MCR 4 isn't released yet (it's only a RC i think?) so thats what you would expect... I think when MCR 4 is released it's probably as fast as Cronos Droid but for now I think Cronos Droid would be the best for you unless you are totally in to that shiny Legend/Desire kind of look (which Cronos Droid doesen't have) then i would recommend MoDaCo or VillainROM
ahhh cool, im not tooo bothered about the look as long as it runs well and gives me a bit better battery life. just a thought out of 10 what are the chances of bricking my phone?

Umm. I used modaco ages ago (about 7 months or so), but I don't really know what it's like these days.
I am actually one of the devs of VillainROM, so not really in any place to give a totally unbiased answer.
Basically, it depends on what you are after. If you are looking for the fastest ROM possible, then something like the new SuperHero, which we will be releasing in the next day or so, might be up your street. It's a cross between stock 'eclair android' and some little bits of HTC sense. So it has the speed of vanilla, with the little niceities of Sense.
If you're after a totally Vanilla ROM, there are some of them around too, often based on CyanogenMod. Look for the terms AOSP and Vanilla if you want one of these. Be aware they might lack some of the features you are used to currently, since HTC does add a fair bit of stuff on top of Android.
For the pure HTC Sense ROM, there are a good number of them out too, although I have to confess I have completely lost track of which ones are out there. There's one from 42turkeys I think, and modaco and cronos etc. although I can't really recommend any of them as I haven't used them.
If you are after the 'perfected theme', there's a VillainROM theme from petsasj over on www.villainrom.co.uk that finishes off some of the aesthetics of the ROM, as there are some little imperfections in HTC's release. If you pop over to the IRC channel (link on the homepage), someone will be able to answer any detailed questions you have with ROM etc.

Right. Bricking... Well, so long as you don't do anything stupid with your phone, like pulling battery, you should be fine. If you want someone to guide you through the process or answer any questions you have, pop onto the IRC i mentioned.
So long as you are careful, and follow the instructions to the letter, you should be absolutely fine
VillainROM has a few little extra kernels etc. and a couple of fixes on the Over-the-air updater app that might help you get some better performance and battery life too
Just ask if you need help

Course Pop in the goldcard and then use the RUU (stock HTC ROM exe file) to restore back to the the factory condition
Fast is good for me too VR10.3 with ninpo's BFS kernel and 729MHz Overclock is good enough for me
im sure im gonna go with a villain rom as it has one of the clearest guides i have seen, plus i have the sdk and that stuff for the gold card thing. when is superhero out then seen as that is the fastest? gonna read it through a couple more times aswell so that i can really get to grips with what to do =]

The link isn't working for me either but I don't know anyone who has used the 'one click' methods.
I highly recomend BTDAG's guide linked in my sig (its the same guide as on Villain site) , you will get support if there is something you don't understand or if something unexpected happens. Read the whole thing through 1st, then start from the top.
arrgghh, just annoyed, cus it was working earlier. oh well. and yeah, will just have to follow the other one. i just liked the idea of a one click method. cheers =]
Quick mention, I believe I had the same phone as you T-Mobile_G2_Touch? The guide in my sig was created using the G2, if it helps
p.s. I advise using an XP machine, drivers for Windows 7 are a *****.

[Q] What is the more stable rom for x10 mini

minicm6 1.0.2 or minicm7 2.0.7
post your issue here.
please thanks
Well, they're both pretty stable. If you want a working cam in 5mpx go with the cm6 otherwise i'd say minicm7. Both are stable for me. There were however a few issues with FMradio for me in cm6, kept hanging, might be fixed now though.

ok sir extremely amazing. thanks a lot
after trying almost every rom around here, my humble answer is the stock rom 2.1.1.A.0.6. it's solid, very fast and very stable. you can do a little retouching in order to reshape it, so it fits easily your needs for sure.
still, i think i'll try the new updates of minicm 7, if they can cope with the camera problem and some other little bugs.

yes, you can change the launcher, use what you want. actually, imho, 4 corners is a very nice idea. similarly, most of the launchers have 4 or 5 buttons at the bottom. but, one widget per page is really horrible. you can't put shortcuts too. so, i use launcher pro
I used all MiniCM roms.. But, i have experienced many Bugs, crashes, unresponsiveness... So, atlast, reverted to SE.. Nothing beats the Stability of SE 2.1 in anyway..... This is only my point of view.. Its upto you..

Even though Minicm 6 and Minicm 7 have various of bugs, but both of these roms can still be considered stable and will not cause too much problems in daily uses. Its a great success breakthrough from the xda's developers to create these two roms and we should appreciate as we can get it FREE ! It good to try 2.2 and 2.3 on the mini's as its no hope to get an updates on the stock rom~ =(

i think you evaluated our opinions so differently, even wrong.
it's not about paying, either how valuable or how important developers' works are. there are lots of people, can pay for custom roms. samsung has started to send their new models to the freelance developers.
we didn't judging custom roms or their developers, i personally have a really big respect for the developers and their works, i appreciate them. if a custom rom were more stable than the official one i'd use it. moreover, i'd pay for it. if 2.0 were more stable than 2.1, i'd use it too.
speaking of the problems, you're saying "not cause too much problems in daily uses". according to which criteria? are you a businessman, am i an fbi agent, how much phone calls we do, are we users of twitter or facebook?
do we need to clarify "stability" or "more stable"?
everybody has own expectation about a phone. for instance, i like very much minicm6's boot animation, but the boot screen is somewhere at the bottom of my expectation list. if i experience some troubles as i speak on the phone, it's a very big deal for me.
similarly, i think f1 cars are incredible, but i don't use one of them, i can't. an f1 driver doesn't want my car too.
i chose x10 mini, neither desire, nor iphone. everybody has own preferences lists and we must respect them.
cyanogen mods, minicms, f1 cars, htc desire, iphone, official se rom, they are all wonderful products. best regards to their creators.

you can download the latest official software from support section @ sonyericsson.com. probably you get a file like Update_Service_Setup-2.11.6.12.exe about 40mb. then you can install it via pc. before that, you should backup your personal data of course.
In my opinion the most stable is original 2.1.1.A.0.6 or the newest "C", because the camera app and radio app.
If you want better camera and radio app use original SE with JIT and remove apps, patch with UnderVolting module and mddi fix (i think that is not needed but...)
If you want the highest 3d score and quadrant -> minicm6
If you want more 3d score than original but lower than minicm6 and better battery duration and stable -> minicm7
Then this is for me the stable list (most on top):
-SE 2.1.1.A.0.6 or "C" version
-MiniCM7
-MiniCM6
it's my opinion.
I'm trying to do a Frozen Eclair (froyo VM on eclair) but i don't now how, there is may roms with that on moto.

i've just realized that there's an official software update from 2.11.6.12 to 2.11.7.13. they must have published it in yesterday.
my most stable
-SE 2.1.1.C.0.0
-MiniCM6
-MiniCM7
also my opinion
MiniM6. A stable, faster than all official, no bugs at more than 70 additional installed applications. MiniM7 more faster, but not so stable, have problem with hardware support, quickly discharged battery. Imho.

Hello People, I'm Moon And trough my world of android have i gotten lowend devices for own use. i love them because they're so cheap and still Great.
I have come from the GT540 Optimus to the ZTE blade and now the x8,
(I kept the Blade trough.) I am a big fan of Racht and his sense ports, what i want to ask you people for, since Racht seems to have disappeared should we do what developers and friends of him do. We finish what he started.
Most important is currently The GL Drivers I think, Maybe some RAM Management. The free ram is very low. (about 40\50mb) This causes Rosie to reload after coming from other apps. this would be cool to fix.
I asked XDA MEMBER # Kenia1234 (he ported it to the SGS)
About 3d\open gl and wifi. this was his reply.
however as regards 3D I fixed it using my device's libs under system/lib/egl or under /vendor/lib/egl and of course using a CM7 powered kernel...
as regards the wifi, it's a little bit more complicated...you'd need to have the bins of your device under /system/bin and the firmwares all in order, as the kernel wants to...
hope this was useful!!

Yes it was useful Thank you. any other Sense porters please contact us.
I know a little about this but not enough to do it myself yet.
Thank you in case of that you want to help.

I think he needs a little rest...
racht said that he will port HTC kernel and that means fully working Sense rom as soon as he's back.
I don't know where he is or what is he doing, but he's on xda often. (last activity today).
And I think he's getting Xperia Ray - his post here. Also that's the last thing he posted.
Anyway, the man will spoke, and we shoud donate to him a new device if he's selling his one. To continue development. But, we need to wait until the man spokes!!
I appreciate racht so much, and I hope he doesn't forget our X8.
OH.

I See, Thanks for Providing this information to the masses.
The Ray is the best Choice after the Arc, For me, Since i like big screens.
But yes. Lets just hope for the best. the Guy i updated on, (On the op) is doing GB sense too. We should let Racht Rest and hope for the best.
In racht's last Sense Port there is a lot of bugs. I really love that rom but it has a lot of bugs.
I was without SIM Card and in the Notification Bar it was showing that i used %S(something like this) tries for the unlock key and blablabla.
SD Safe to remove bug in ROOT Apps
I tried to connect the phone to my car radio and it doesn't show anything in the phone, only the icon changed to charging, but no led, no popup for connecting, nothing. And the radio does not recognized the phone. (i think it will happen the same in the computer, i think)
3d, wifi, 3G and vibra not working, as it shows on the original topic
So this is what has to be worked on
I cannot help you so much because i'm not a good java developer, i can only understand some parts of the code, but i cannot write it. But if you want a beta tester i'm here to try to find the maximum bugs i can
I will love if someone could continue what Racht did
I am following the news.
As I have said some months ago, X8 is now added to official CM tree, you can see here :
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira
So, I guess thats the end of CM story (even that I prefer tweaks by doixanh).
Sense rom depends on kernel features that do not work on .29 kernels.
See HTC threads, all new roms require .32 or .35 kernels, lets hope X8 will get a new kernel ported.
And thanks again for support

Great to see your alive Racht! And whut o:? does this mean that this rom is a fully working CM7 release like my Blade has?
And Yes, I've heard about the basics of porting sense.
Even trough you would be the best teacher.
Does this mean That Your Leaving the Shakira forums now racht?
wow! is this ROM stable knowing that it came from cyanogen?? please can someone confirm this? it doesn't have any details of its features included on it...

As he wrote, he wouldn't be developing sense on X8. That's bad. Anyone want to take care of this project?
Blagus said that we have to port HTC kernel first, but it's .32 or newer kernel. We have only .29 now. Therefore it follows that we can't have sense on X8 now.

[Q] Android 4.0 Custom ROMs?

Hi there,
as i was reading about the release of the Android 4.0 source code i´m asking myself how long will it take until we have a custom ROM based on android 4.0!
Are some crews already working on it?
Please give me a feedback when you can!
we will get the roms when we get the roms. CM9 should be out soon now that they have the code, which they said they needed to start production, so possibly when we have that, our devs can start punching out some roms. also, in the ICS thinktank on the development page and for example the nexus s forum, they are working on the touchscreen drivers so that they can test more components of the rom.
just be patient
seems to be a lot of time until we have some roms. also Z isnt around anymore.
dunno how to deal with touchscreen drivers for the nexus s! why are they important for a X10 rom? touchscreen is already working isnt it?
as Sony Ericsson is an official member of CyanogenMod now, im woundering that there is NO build for the X10i...........
Curios isnt it?

Official CM support has stopped for the X8 and X10mini/mini pro, since 2.3.7 is the best thing that those phones can handle...and the aftermarket support for X10 would end soon I believe, maybe right after the stable mod comes out.

What you need to do is:
1. Find an easy way to contact SE. E-mail perhaps.
2. Come back after finding out information and post up a thread that suggests a specific date for all X10 users to e-mail at once.
3.Within the timeframe between the day the thread went up and the dealine, Spam the shiit out of this movement. Get some people to help you. (I will help you if you get it started)
All you have to do is trigger this bro and we can set this ***** on fire. Believe that brah! Peace.

If the touchscreen isn't working, how would we use the phone? And we are working cyanogenmod, ever heard of the FXP CM7 ROM that's the official one.

The FXP is the official one? Seriously?
The FXP Rom is far away from being stable enough for daily use. Weekly updates and not even finish sources for all parts.......
They are working for a long time on this ROM already and ey..... dont get it wrong.... i´m dontating ALWAYS when using a custom Rom as my daily one.....
....but in last time i lost my faith........
Z gone away! He was the mega-brain behind many progresses........
Dunno what we have to expect in the future!
Will the FXP team finish there work sometime?
As far as i know the FXP CM7 is NOT based on Android 4.0. Its base on? 2.3.4? I dont know........
I was getting an eye on the Galaxy Nexus but it is soooooooo expensive .......
going to stay on my X10

When all the bugs are gone, it will be released as stable.
Go join the bug hunt if you want it faster...
It's highly unlikely that we will ever get a fully stable Android 4.0 rom, for the reasons listed elsewhere in these fora. We may get ports, but they will take time, and lots of it.
Be patient and don't ask for ETAs.

It's not based on anything, they are literally making a rom with sources that they are writing. That's why it took ages compared to other ported roms.

Actually the rom is very stable for daily use with very minor bugs that they are working on. if you have lost faith in a device that is 2 years old with no support now from SE heres some advice, get a new phone! but for the rest of us who enjoy having such a great array of developers that very capable of bringing us support when we need it. Yes Z has done alot for the X10, but dont forget other devs and dont just focus on one.
First rule of CM7: Dont ask for an ETA! you must be patient like with anything. If google and samsung released ICS earlier, imagine what we would be missing.
Well clearly CM7 isnt based on 4.0, cos the source code has only been released to us. you cant expect every dev to be up day and night sitting at there pc waiting for the code, they are real people with real lifes.
Well if your going to stay with the X10, please for the love of god, stop complaining about how we havent got ICS roms yet when no other devices has a nearly stable one yet.

thanks for helping
at first: I did not ask for a release date of a ROM!
this thread is meant to discuss about what we have and can expect in the future for our X10. Its not made to complain about ppl or the devs. It´s meant to get the facts cleary for everyone.
STOP RAGING IN THIS THREAD!
So about the android 4.0 storry: Sony will spend an Android 4.0 update for the X10 ARC! The normal X10 isnt that far away ........... but still such a big prob to port it?
There will be alot devices which get a stock update to ICS and they will be stable.
The point i dont understand is why devs are working that hard on a mod which is already outdated..........
Ofc they try to re-create android with there own source codes but ey.......... you seriously thinking about writing your own operating system for a mobile phone?
Android have been founded by high skilled (and highly paid) informatics guys hired by google! I guess 50% of our devs are <18 years and not even skilled in programming. Don´t get this wrong now..... i dont want to blame you guys! But why do you think we can write a new firmware..............?
Maybe you running behind the wrong goals ............
For me the crew should focus on Android 4.0. Thats the only ROM ppl want to have now. And ey yeah it would be awesome to have ICS on my 2 years old X10!

First, it's quite hard to port 4.0 onto our X10 since we have a really old kernel (.29), not to mention whether our hardware can handle that or not...
Second, the FXP team's goal is to get the X10 up to CM specs so that we can have as much official CM support as we want until the newest android versions become too much for the X10 to handle.
And don't even try to say that most of the devs here are below eighteen, because most of them aren't and have a proper job. If you are looking for child labour to develop your device you're at the wrong forum.

What we have: an almost stable CM7 ROM.
What we can expect for the future: a fully stable CM7 ROM.
What we -might- get: an ICS ROM that probably won't ever be stable.
By the way, what is an X10 ARC? Never heard of that device before.
Assuming that you mean the Arc, there are huge differences between the X10 and the Arc. It will probably not even be practical to try and port ICS from it.
The devs are working on "outdated" CM7 because it is most likely to become fully stable after some work. If they start working on ICS now, they won't have a fully stable CM7 ROM to help them. CM9, based on ICS, isn't even released yet, so do elaborate on what you meant when you said the mod they were working on was outdated. There isn't even any phones with ICS yet...
By describing the devs as under 18s with little coding experience you are actually being extremely naive and disrespectful. Go have a chat with aZuZu or DooMLord about kernels, you'll see what I mean. I don't know if that's what you were intending, but you sound quite rude.
Building a working, let alone stable, ICS ROM, or any ROM for that matter, is not easy. It takes time to build, test, find bugs and iron them out.
Also, for your information, a handful of devs are already working on an ICS port alongside their current projects. Have a quick look in the dev section.
I hope you see my point now.
