[Q] Cyanogen support (other custom ROMS) for Ray - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi guys,
I have Motorola Defy, but I'm about to sell it cause Moto won't unlock bootloader.
My dad had SE Ray and I kinda like it.
I know that it is gonna have ICS in March, which is pretty cool.
So, I was wondering,
Is Cyanogen support good for Ray?
Cause it's goddamn really good for Defy.
I would like to see CM9 on my Ray if I buy it.
But as I could see in posts on that thread it looks like it's far from OK.
What about CM7? I saw their thread, but it looks like dead one 0.o
Stock GB ROM for Ray seems way better than CM7 ROM
What are your suggestions? Should I buy this phone? What ROM would be best to install on it?
Cheers

you can get cyanogenmod via freexperia group.

[Q] x10mini and custom ROMs???

Anyway to flash a custom kernel?
Would be NICE to run cyanogenmod on x10mini as SE has left us with Android 1.6.
Also PSFreedom doesn't sound bad at all.. ;-)
any help at all apreciated

Won't the cyanogenmod come when 2.1 does?
I don't think the version of Android is the issue, I think the guy that develops ROM Manager just can't be arsed to implement support. Besides, yanks haven't even got the X10 series yet. It'll grow in popularity a bit when it goes across the ocean, maybe then.
There are people over in the X10 forum working hard at getting custom roms working - once they've cracked it for that phone, it should be similar for the mini

"Yanks"?? Like everything they'll be late to the party and then try to take credit. Custom ROMS will be running on the X10 long before US consumers stop *****ing and moaning about 1.6/multitouch etc..
P.S No disrespect intended toward our US colleagues but unless it's a motarola or htc they couldn't give a stuff.
I would like a clean, nice version of eclair on my x10 mini, it´s called vanilla, right? so sick of Sony Ericsson UXP

[Q] MIUI on Atrix?

Noob here. So now that we have official unlock of the Atrix, does this mean we might have a MIUI build coming?
I am excited about trying custom roms and this one in particular.
Thanks
It would take a while im sure. we dont even have CM yet.
Im more into sense ported to it
Hey, Im with you Sense would be cool too.
Just wondering how long these things usually take. Wish I was more of a developer..... I would do it myself.
This was just tweeted by ibproud:
"Anyone prepared to part with a Motorola Atrix for Miui Development? Will pay around ~$200 & credit you in the ROM. Pls RT"

[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)

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.

And i think many phones will be dropped out from the official support list too, such as HTC Wildfire[this thing dont even have a gpu!], Hero, Legend, Aria...
I hope ics will soon release source code for x10, I heard today on the release source code ics, is it true

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.

i'll find a way to contact se and post a thread later.
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.

From HD2 to Atrix : smartmove ?

It's all in the title ?
I have the opportunity to buy today an Atrix at around 250 €. For that, I'll sell my HD2 and would like to know if its a smart move "Custom Roms" wise ?
I know nothing about the Atrix but my prioritiy is to be able to run stock CM7 (I've seen roms on the Dev section) and later, CM9.
Is MIUI available ?
Is the community very much alive or dying as the Atrix is coming out ?
Thanks !

Miui is in alpha, cm7 completely stable and cm9 is being worked on. There are quite a few blur based ROMS to choose from as well. I'm definitely not disappointed with my atrix
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
development seems to have to have taken off in the last month or two and definitely try some blur based roms. you will b surprised how well people have tweaked them
Great. I think I'll try then even though I know it won't reach the level of development of the HD2. I need a break from xda anyway...

[Q] Which Roms work with Ray?

Hey guys and girls, really sorry if this is obviouls, or been asked (I have looked through the stickies), but I wanted to be 100% sure.
- I'm not a custom ROM novice, and own a Samsung SG2 with custom ICS ROM. My friend has a Sony Experia Ray (in the UK), and wants me to (in his words) pimp it up a bit.. hehe..
So my question is which custom roms (preferably ICS if they are working well) are 100% compatible with this phone? I don't want to spend loads of time on it, but instead just find a nice, reliable, smooth and fast rom, with all the bloatware removed etc so he can have a nice fast phone.
Any help would be appreciated (I'm not expecting someone to tell me which roms are better.. cause I know that's not something anybody can say, but instead which ones I should be looking at as possibility for this phone.)
Many thanks, J
