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.

What? I am checking for updates daily! But that is because i am more interested in the kernel than the rom.

New kernel?! I didn't know that.

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.

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?
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
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
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

Can you all stop posting this the whole planet knows it now im tired of this in all sections theres like 20thread about this ****ing gingerbread --
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.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
will gingerbread or a gingerbread beta for the x10 be leaked early to the xda community, like how we got the arc firmware early? also about when do you think sony will release it?
In q2-q3 we get the official update and leak will maybe come in early q2

isnt early q2 on like friday?

yes it is!
by then we would have a fully working 2.3 from J (with custom kernel i hope)
Don't count on it so early. I think the update may arrive near the end of the timeline or even get a bit delayed since they can't release something with bugs...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Judging from what SE has done in the past we wouldn't see the update until we reach their given timeline which is end of Q2 or early Q3.
does anyone know anything about this?? if its true, woohoo! check out the article. its in the middle of the page.

"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
Hi all,
Short question: Will it ever be possible to get ice cream for the X10? Or will it just be too much to run it without lag etc.
grtz,
A_U
EDIT:
No need for an answer anymore, I already know doomlord started a development thread
i am also looking for answer..!!!!!!!
probably. It was said that devices that could run gingerbread can theoretically run ice cream sandwich.

I know we won't get the update from SE itself, but I doubted whether we would be able to get it from FreeXperia team (cm) or just another custom rom.

Yes, they are the only ray of hope. I can't stop cursing SE for they just dumped x10. They launched ray, arc, neo, play.... No issues, but they still talk of mini, mini pro..... Yet x10 remains in darkness!

yes, we have old phone now...
Anyway, XDA dev are here, we're lucky!
My X10 is nearly 2 years old, but with DooMLoRDs Kernel fresh as right out of the factory
Maybe 4.0 can keep it young and alive another year

I can see us getting some hybrid roms with ICS features but since we don't even have any 2.3.4 roms yet I doubt anyone will/can do a full port.

We even have 2.3.7 (Cm7) so..
ICS is really optimized for HD Displays (Something we don't have).
I doubt a FULL, 100% complete Port will come.

I believe the idea behind ICS was a new single open source OS that will run on everything from small phones to large tablets and everything in between.
Yes, that was the idea, but I don't see support for 2010 phones.
I won't even receive the X10i that I bought until Friday but considering they started with 1.6 and have 2.3.7 now, I am eminently certain I will soon be running 4.0.1 on mine.

well who knows we want some FXP magic!
The devs are currently in trouble solving issues about the porting. Hope they get around it soon.
