Hello.
I really hope this is the right place to ask, if not, move it to an appropriate place
My friend just got her X10Mini Pro, and I really love the home screen she has, and I'd love to have it on my HTC Diamond (XDAndroid 2.1) and I've tried to find out what home/launcher app it is, but I can't find it.
So does anyone know the name of the Home/Launcher and if so, would it work on XDAndroid on a VGA device?
Regards
You can always try to get the home.apk from your friend's x10m, and try that on your device, but I believe there'll be some missings deps, as Se seems to have built its home with a lot of dependencies from other SE stuff... If it's the case, It'll require porting every deps to your device, may be quite a lot of work !
Ok so the Xperia X10 community has had it hard and there’s a lot of anger and resentment in the forums and all over the net. I know I’ve voiced my views with many degrees of hurt till I’m blue in the face but it doesn’t change much and generally puts everyone in a bad and defeated mood.
So I was thinking that while the amazing developers are hard at work trying to open the bootloader which would in turn bring the dawn of custom roms to the X10 what could I do to help them and the community look forward and do something positive.
So I thought rather than hug trees and kiss your neighbour why not start a thread with the sole purpose of designing a Rom in preparation for the day when the bootloader is cracked open.
I’m no coder but I can create graphic assets for UI’s and then I got to thinking what if we took a look at all the Roms out there that looked good or have excellent features that we would want in an X10 rom and from those ideas and new ones we could start the look and feel of a Rom with us in mind.
Now that would cheer everyone up surely. It could be something for us all to be proud of and for the other kitchens to take cues from as well.
So firstly lets post screen shots of things we think are ace, features we love or want, animation styles that are to die for even if they are scanned pencil sketches on paper. It would keep us occupied and give the developers some breathing space.
Just an idea
I love the idiea that sounds great wat ik would like to see are a few standard apps in the rom as rainy days titanium back up silent mode a good agenda msn talk pingchat and a good working alternitive internet browser.
if they could be put in the rom then we dont have to download them from the market.

Having particular apps included is always a bonus but i'm thinking about the Rom features them selves and how it works to make using the phone better or at least different.
See the link for an example (Not that i want my phone to look like an iPhone copy BTW)

A great idea. I hope this will lead to some great rom's. I'm new to android and xda and I only know Python and Free pascal, so I cannot help with programming, but I will surely post it here if I come up with something.

If i remember correctly jerpelea has already compiled CM6 for X10..
I would like to see the Desire HD ROM to be ported . As it has already been ported to Nexus One and the Desire running the same Snapdragon QSD8250 it should not be much of a trouble..
I was thinking that a site just like Slax builder http://www.slax.org/build.php would be amazing.
If people could choose what apps, themes etc etc then download the custom rom I think it would be a hit...
If I knew more about rom dev I would love to have a go at seeing if this kind of thing would possible for x10 android roms. I'd be up for the dev of the site.
I would like to see on my X10 let's see.....any custom ROM.
Get Sense running on it (Android 2.2) and I'll buy an X10.
yeah good idea, but i prefer to focus our power on bootloader crack..or kick SE insiders to make them think about better decisions...but i look back, keep further..
oh, it will be great a modaco type rom maker, u know, like u choose what u want to implement to it....

A Rom with user selectable options sounds great, also sounds like a lot of work for the Dev's as essentially the rom would be compiled by the user via a gui then installed.

I think we should face the facts of the past events and give up on SE changing their direction on the X10's software lifecycle.
In all their statements not once do they apologise for not meeting the dates they set or not be close to the expectations of the X10 owners. In truth i sense an air of annoyance that they have to make statements on their own blog at all.
Future devices will be better and not so lacking on smart phone hardware standards but that will be based on associated developer requests rather than us or the general publics want and wishes.
That’s why I thought of this thread so we can end the disappoints because we’ll create what we want.
Cool idea.
Can i suggest the rom should have:
Launcher and interface:
ADW Launcher
Some 3rd party lock screen that is better than the stock, but not a buggy one
SMS Popup
SlideIT Keyboard
Beautiful Weather and Clock widget
Browser:
XScope G browser
Stock Browser as backup
Multimedia:
Doubletwist Music Player
iTag
Vignette
screenshot
Shazam
RingDroid
Utilities/Tools:
Unit Converter
SwiftFTP
gMote
Titanium Backup
EasyTether Lite
RealCalc Scientific Calculator
Xperia Flashlight
I'd suggest a clean ROM Apps can be installed later..
I'm not sure this is the right place to put this, and please don't freak out, you Windows Mobile haters, but I would like to see the X10 be able to dual boot Android and Windows Mobile.

I'm with you. A nice clean, stock ROM would be the best. Everybody can install apps for themselves (heard of AppBrain? ). Designing a ROM with pre-installed apps will be very difficult, since everybody has other tastes/likes. (For example: I hate everything pre-installed. I want to be able to choose what to install on my phone. I also hate that the pre-installed apps that come with a phone can't be uninstalled. They're just taking up precious space...)

I would pay 25,00 euros for S2U2 on my X10!! The only reason I miss WinMo...
Could be cool with duel boot on the x10i. But i would say, focus on getting a clean room first, for when the bootloader is cracked. Just with standard stuff like the browser, etc.
The CM for x10 would be amazing yes, but a custom room only for the x10, why not but good luck

That's right!
I just need a clean n OPTIMIZED for our snap dragon and GPU and memory ...thats enough ...
really news on bootloader has dried up... and lock screen in x10 is killing me and making me break the phone...
i simply wish we had a better ROM with all those resource hogging apps out of the system.
also i simply wish we had the first key in the bottom to answer calls .. instead of lock screen... that would be really great ...
720 P recording and better audio drivers with optimized and improved bass would be a real addition...
also wish dev somehow enable 16m color...
I am tired of SE .. had been a seriuos SE fan for nealry 5 yrs now
t610-k700-k750-k800-k850-w995 all major phones from them... but those days we had se-nse for custom tunning the drivers and it was fun... but now with this bootloader [email protected] i am missing the real fun..
if SE cant do anything ... they should atleast open up the bootloader to dev`s...
Hi there, good afternoon.
This might be already answered, but I just wanted to be sure if it's possible or not.
I've recently bought an X10 Mini Pro, and updated it to 2.1, but it still doesn't look like I want it too, so I was wondering this...
Is it possible to take the OS off from this phone, trim/clean it, and put it back to the phone as I want it without all the junk and with the apps I really want on it?
If this is possible and has been answered many times then I'm sorry to ask again, please just point me in the right direction/post and I won't bother you all no more, many thanks
Well you cant take the ROM of yet etc... but you can use root explorer to delete the stock apps that you don't want.. [Need Root]
Check these links out:

Hi there,
Well, that will be much easier that what I had in mind
Thanks for the links, I've had a quick look at them and they are quite interesting, only 2 questions pop up in my head now...
Will I be able to update my phone with future updates if I root it?
If I root it, can I get rid of the stock launcher forever and use something like Launcher Pro or Helix instead?
Thanks for the answers
Yes and yes
i do what the peopples are telling you , with very pretty results, but i just dont delete the apps, i replace them with other apks, example semchome.apk (default se launcher) with the helix apk (saved as semchome.apk) the same with the keyboard (save keyboard pro apk as se keyboard apk), and eventualy really remove useless stuff like se play now and games demos... its pretty similar to a clean rom now, regards

Well, many thanks to you all for the info, appreciated.
I'll start immediately reading on how to root the phone, I hope is not too complicated to do
Or you can just change your phone to a Spanish generic build (you probably have a Vodafone one), update via SEUS and you should have a clean phone.
The one advantage of this is that if there are future updates, and you use SEUS to get up to date you will not have the junk installed on your phone.
Regards.
Hi there,
How do I know what build do I have? I bought this phone new from eBay, and it was supposed to be locked to T-Mobile, although it came unlocked and without anything from T-Mobile in it, or nothing I can see anyway
I don't see any application apart from the basic Sony ones, and a couple of games, but nothing that tells me this phone is from T-Mobile... it'd be great if I could know somehow the build it's in it, so I can check if I could get a cleaner one
Thanks.
I know, there are some Questions like this but there are not many answers...
I have an x10 mini pro nad never used a custom rom before.
No i see that here are a lot of different roms with different andoid versions and a lot of them didn't work very well (at least there are some users that talk about different bugs)
so i asked myself:
should i use a custom rom, and if, wich should i choose.
i never use my phone to take photos but i listen to a lot of music and surf trough the web. sometimes i think, that my utms thing could work better (maybe with a customrom) and that my battery could work a bit longer.
It woult be great if the laucher would work a bit fast (i use golauncher)
Also i use a lot of this googlestuff (mail, calander, maps...) and the gps thing and i want to use this stuff also with a custom rom.
so... what are the differences in all these roms? wich should i choose and which should i forgot? or are you say "no way noob, go away and let your phone like it is"
sorry but english isn't my local language
Hey if you want a nice and stable rom try using cyanocomb
Its fast it looks cool and the battery lasts longer than any other rom
Or if you want a gingerbread rom try ginger dx i heard its fast and stable and since it has cyanogenmod 7 you will have access to over 200 different themes

wasn't able to add my googleaccount with CyaNoComb v1.4... :/
so i'll restore to backup point and try another one i guess...
Hello,
well i am x10mini user, i would like to have your opinion about the following subject any view/opinion its applicable
I was on Google like 2 days so far and looking how possible it can be to get ics on our loved device... after some search and some reading i noticed that dev's wont be able to complete roms without libs from Qualcomm for arm6 and (if they do, so far we are on hold if i get it right)
however if somehow we get those libs or find any other solution there is another question is it able to get flash player on that rom? i try to add it on ics beta version but it seems that i get no cache to load any video or so...
Probably our mini stay on gingerbread??
What's your view !
All the video issues are to doo with the lack of libs from qualcomm. So it would probably fix them if we get them. Sign the groubal if you haven't already
