[Q] Difference between semc and cyanogenmod kernel - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was reading some comments people had made about not being able to port the keyboard on semc kernel to cyanogenmod kernel. So that got me thinking to the point - what is the difference between the two?
Is it that there are different drivers to both kernels or any other difference that matters big?

Speaking specifically about the keyboard, it's not kernel related, you got that part wrong.
It is integrated in Semc framework and libs, that's why it can't be ported to other ROMs.
As far as kernels are concerned, in general, different kernels are different.
And sometimes those differences do matter a big deal.
It depends on what you want to do.

it has nothing with the kernel.
the framework is different.so you can’t use the semc keyboard in z's CM7

Combine froyo and gingerbread?

As we all know we have the alpha port of gingerbread on our phones, but several things lack.
Gps
Voice command
Etc.
For the things missing, cant u take those drivers from a froyo build and use that for now? Just so us people on xda have a better look at gingerbread.
Anyone don't bother to disagree or point something out. After all, I'm just asking and making a prediction

Short answer is no. They are doing their absolute best to get it ported over. Until then, enjoy the gingerbread themed roms. Bascially everything gingerbread that can easily be moved into froyo has been.

Another Silly Billy.
Hmmm. Should be pretty easy to answer that.
Step 1) Go to XDA SE Xperia arc forum. From there, go to the Xperia arc Themes and Apps sub-forum.
Step 2) Find a theme you like.
Step 3) Read the instructions in the FIRST POST. (Fancy that, the OP gave the info in the first thread itself. It's a miracle!)
Step 4) Download the theme.
Step 5) Follow the instructions given to the T.
And now you can thank me for such a helpful post. LOL!
Umm... maybe he talks about a theme (You know,theme like Onyx, Fluorite, etc) in new firmware?

Then maybe they should state that.
Are there any new themes, or any tutorials on how to make them, for the new firmware yet?

Not that I don't like the Onyx one, but it would be nice to have others too.

If you are on the new fw then there are several built in. AFAIK you cannot add new ones yet.
Either use one of the built in ones or use your eyes and scan this board for themes, there are a few for the newest fw.
You just need root and something to copy the files over.
This is the problem, my boot-lock piece of ****, can not gain access to the new firmware(no Root), so i cant update, well i could i update it, but i wont be able to use it lol.
I think a lot of people are in the same heart-breaking situation as i am.

Hahahaha. He got you there mate.
Evasiveness is fun.
Seriously though, I am just used to the theme whereby you have to force it in, as opposed to the new 'themes' Sony have provided. Not really themes though are they, bit of a half arsed attempt.

[Q] How to configure LockScreen in THS ICS 6.1?

I'm on THC ICS 6.1 with Glitch 14B3.
Anyone know how can I configure the lockscreen to add more than just the camera and unlock?

Great! If you can post a link to the file, I'd appreciate it.
Also, do mind giving me a brief description of what's needed to customize it myself? Even though I'm a Windows developer and only know a little bit about Android, I know enough to decompile and recompile .apks
Thanks!
I think the mod you're looking for can be found here. I can't really tell you how to do the mod yourself, maybe steve could help you out.

Lol. Hey, sometimes I'm busy too. We have projects & deadlines.
However, I usually have plenty of time to finish my stuff in time so I can do something on the side. Getting bored of writing boring C# programs .. hmm
BTW, I've decompiled the Android.Policy.jar and the Framework-res.apk and compared to the originals ones.
The changes in the Android.Policy.jar are kinda extensive and I don't really understand what they do..
Oh well, I guess I still have lots to learn...

Thank You!

Xperia S - 4.0

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knew when the Xperia S is getting android 4.0/whether it was worth putting a custom rom on it, depending on how much time there is.
Thanks,
Storm08
Good grief!
This forum needs a like button
We're not getting it, ever... Its a myth like unicorns
Last time I heard from Motorola that Xperia s will get 4.0 early next.year.
