[DISCUSS]{x10mini/pro_ICS and Flash player}? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

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

dude even i want Trackid....its awsum...soundhound doesnt work good at all 4 me too...
I asked this ques in cyanogenmod thread...and they said its not possible to use trackid in cyanogenmod (aleast 4 the time being)
Sad did you see that they change the permission on the last version, now they whant to know running apps... So removed
Thanks for your help

Try Shazam as a replacement.
Frens keep ur fingers crossed...
I hv ported timescape and se backup restore app already. Now they both run on custom roms and even on non se phones
As for track id, m working on it, managed to get it installed.
It does record song and transfer it to gracenotes server, but returns authentication error.
Will find a way soon to crack d last step.

Hi there im willing to test trackid when you get round to it I have an xperia play on android 2.3.2 unlocked bootloader and rooted.
As someone else said its the drm certificates that get wiped when unlocking a bootloader that gets trackid to authenticate with the server.
There maybe a way to restore these drm certs if you have a phone with trackid working and rooted as you can find all the files it needs to run properly, no good with unlocked bootloader as files will be missing.
Im keen to get this going again and dont think its fair that i have a phone which was legally bootloader unlocked and rooted and had the trackid functionality taken away.
Any progress?...; )
Hi,
I'm really new to android and rooted my phone, unlocked my bootloader too (I like experimenting ).
Unfortunately Track ID got screwed, searched the web for solutions/fixes and I came to this thread.
I liked Track ID and still do. Any updates on this so far Myth999?
Can SE provide the drm certs to us? Nevermind the void warranty?
Nope buddy I don't think trackid would be possible...
I could make it load and all but when track id records and sends a song for search, it also checks the license on their server.
If the licensing was like se backup restore app, limited to files on the phone, it could have been circumvented, but track id is diff so as of what I know it ain't possible...

Oh well...I guess I have the same motto as you "Impossibility is a Myth"
Until then I'm sure this will be "fixed" in the near future. We have very good developers and the like sharing their expertise.
I'll just keep my hope alive.
Thanks buddy.....and keep up the fantastic work you're doing
haha so u remember that tag I used...
Anyways I think I will give it one last try when I get some time...let's see where I end up...

Vignette error in TW 007

I'm running Wolfbreak's TW 007 with custom kernel 3.52 and BB52. I installed from scratch (stock 2.1, then up to TW 007). It's brilliant in every aspect except I can't get Vignette to work. It takes the picture and gives me the preview screen but from there if I try to save, it gives me a VIE error saying it can't create the file. I've tried all options for save location and I've tried all resolutions also, still no love. Has anyone else come across this? Have tried the 2 latest versions of Vignette, and the demo.
same thing for me :/ any1 know anything on this issue?
Also battling with this. Mailed vignette support and they sent a new test version but it also has problems. From what I can see it falls over after it has saved the file. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the gallery as that doesn't get refreshed. If you force a media scan it then picks up the picture in the gallery.
I was also having problems with the LED flash. I played around with various versions of the 3D gallery and suddenly the flash has started working. This is also with the custom kernel. There have been quite a few posts about this in the dev thread, but I need to get to 10 posts before I can add my findings there.
I have a few different versions of the 3D gallery at home which I will try tonight to see if any of them help further.
It seems older versions work better, especially in illimanting flash issues.
Try and find an old backup of the demo version...
i tried the past 3 versions of the full version, and all had same error in processing photo.. i found out it does save them in the folder, just throws an error when processing.
I'll check in the gallery after trying some more photos. Just a prick that we get this error. I'd like to post in Wolf's thread but also don't have my 10 posts up.
thanks for your work on this andypen, I haven't tried any different versions of the gallery, and TBH I haven't bothered trying the LED as yet.
[edit] a couple of questions, how do you force gallery to refresh? just kill the app then start it again?, also, I must be stupid but I can't find the LED control in Vignette [/edit]
The problem has gone in 2011.06.23 version from market.
Sent from my X10a powered by Wolf's TW-007.1 / bb:65 / zKernel / BRA
Also I have the same problem. What could be the solution? Some speak of the core of the 3D Warehouse, other processing before storing the photograph, and so on.
What if, I can not make Vignette function properly.
I tried 4 different versions of this application, but still has the same processing error when trying to save the picture, so I concluded that this ROM is not correct for the operation of Vignette.
Please someone who has a possible solution?
Greetings!

I still have the problem...
If you don't have the problem, what's your settings?
this is infuriating...
I have found a possible solution to the vignette saving error. Instructions here
Have any of you contacted the developers of the vignette app and asked if they can rerelease an older version that works.
I have version 2010 - 11 - 04.3 which has worked on all versions of wolfs rom with all custom kernels.
I have a backup up of this but can not share it as it is paid app.
But I am sure the devs of the app will help once they know about the issue
Maybe it's an issue of the 3.52 kernel? i'm on wolf's tw071 rom, with zkernel and the latest version of vignette, fully functional.
No its nothing to do with the kernel....
I have had vignette working on all the 3.4 and 3.5 kernels with wolfs rom.
And now with z's new kernel and BB67.
Just email the devs of the app and ask them for an old version!!!

PS...I have just sent the following email to the devs of vignette
Hello,
I was wondering if you could help a lot of people out.
I am writing this on behalf of a lot of users of the SE x10i who use custom roms from the XDA developers site.
As you may be aware the camera on these roms does not support flash light or zoom, the only way to implement that was through vignette and developers of these custom roms often pointed users to your app in order to get zoom and flash on the camera.
However, with the latest versions of vignette the flash and zoom also seem to be not working but those of us with older versions still have full functionality.
Would it be possible for you to re-release older versions in the market for those people who use custom roms on x10.
I have the november 2010 version and it works fine.
This would be a great help to everyone at XDA who uses the x10i.
I look forward to your reply.
PS, i have copied this email to the xda website.
Regards

Here is the response from the developers of the app to my email.
Hi Greg
Some older releases of Vignette can be found on our website at
http://sites.google.com/site/neilandtheresa/Vignette/releases
If you can provide us with any information that would allow Vignette
to detect whether it was running on an X10 with such a ROM (e.g. the
contents of android.os.Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL and
android.os.Build.DISPLAY), we might be able to solve the problem for
you.
Thanks,
Neil.
Hope this helps you all out.

I'm on bb67 kernel 2.6.29 and it works fine. I did have to change the save location though.

[Q] Could someone explain why the camera in sonybread and cm7 doesnt work??

Or how I can get it to work...?????If the camera worked like froyo these roms would eb absolutely great but everyone uses the camera!!
Well, that's just Sony's sudden way of saying "***** you"
But I guess it's because the libraries in 2.1 up to 2.3 has undergone significant changes ==> making it hard to port properly.
Hmm I guess it's well explained by: drivers.
Every Computer itself is hardware. Your mobile phone is also hardware and the ccamera is a specific hardware. that every other component of your mobile can use that specific hardware "camera" - for example that your camera recording app wants to use your camera to record video or take apicture - drivers are needed for the operating system.
The stack of communication levels looks very minimalistic like that:
app (camera.apk)
operating system (android in version 2.1. 2.2 or 2.3 or 1.6)
driver (inside operating system)
hardware (camera)
app says: take picture with camera (meaning open shutter, let the light into the light sensor) - operatingsystem knows what to do and tells driver (open specific shutter, let the light into the sensor xyz) and the driver opens the shutter and lets the light into it... maybe you get it...
The point now is: You have a specific camera that needs a specific driver in your phone. And Sony Ericsson has this perfect driver for that and does not give it out to us. That's why their operating system "stock ROM" works perfectly.
For Froyo the devs found a similar driver or maybe (I don't know really) could make the SE-driver compatible for Android 2.2. I guess was hard work to make Android 2.2 also for hardware keyboard and so on compatible for our mini pro!! And it was also another such hard work to make Android 2.3 compatible for our mini pro. But the Camera driver is still the Problem and thus the Camera can not be used as used in Gingerbread that is Android 2.3. And CM7 is a modified Android 2.3 for Mini, and slades and sonybread are based on cm7 and thus camera still does not work as we all would like it.
You can not use the drivers from froyo (cm6) or Eclair...
Okay?
As I guess the devs are still working hard on getting it worked but it's not that easy. That's also the point why the most people use the CM6 edition (Froyo ones)
Okiddoki?
thanks for your replies ...... Hope they LL fix it soon.....I definitely don't wanna go back to stock
Be grateful that it possible to even take pictures! With the HTC Click/Tattoo we had no cam on 2.1 up for over a year!
Download the applixation picsin from market ... Works great and takes.images in better resolution than vga.... Note* i only found it to.work with sonybread 4

Use 6 but change your sdk to 10 and use a theme from 7
I know that the big X10 has different hardware with this phone, I was just wondering is it possible to port something from x10 when the 2.3 update roll out?

sorry for offtopic, but can you make a port driver for sound and dsp manager with the CM7 at CM6?

I really doubt, that anyone is working on this... in fact I think everybody is waiting for a working driver to be released (from other devices or even from sony).
If somebody was working on getting it done we would know about this...

Paul-xxx (dev of sonybread) said that he is working on the camera drivers right now, and afaik none of the devs inform us always about his projects, before he is ready for a release...
Oh, I didn't even know that paul-xxx was capable of modding drivers (no offense).
And from my experience most developers start developement threads when they start big projects (like modding drivers) as they can work together with other devs that way and avoid doing some work twice (teamwork instead of duplicated work). But in my mind there's a slight difference between ("real") devs and ("just") cooks...

Mozilla Aurora, flash issues!

Hey people of xda
so i just got my GNexus a few days ago and im totally back into the android scene already! Gots me some AOSP rom on it and root
Anyways, i tried out firefox / fennec now that my phone should be quick enough to use it properly (unlike my G1 ) and i realized it doesnt support flash. So according to mozilla wiki, it is only supported on 2.3, and on a bugreport i read that it isnt planned to be supported on 3.0 / 4.0, due to adobe dropping support on flash.
Anyways, i am wondering how hard it would be to get ICS supported for flash on firefox? I tried putting the flashlib in the plugin folder of aurora, etc. didnt work of course, since it's a problem in the sourcecode.
I realised that on youtube, flash seems to work! It doesnt actually display a flash missing warning or anything like that, on all the other sites.
So i was wondering if that is actually a flash implementation or a custom youtube player by mozilla right there?
Can anyone investigate? I don't have an IDE with all the fennec stuff set up, so i can't check on that. Would be awesome to get aurora with flash though, since it renders stuff really fast and it has a nice and smooth interface
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora
I think the YouTube player is html5... I May be wrong

you are indeed right i totally forgot about this, but im pretty sure since the interface looks a tiny bit different from the flash version.
Anyways, i headed to a mozilla "plugincheck" site, which gave me the message:
"for safety reasons, firefox has disabled your obsolete version of flash. Please update to a newer version" (translated it directly from the german version though, lolz. but you get the idea)
I guess we have a hint right here! How do we get aurora to NOT disable flash?
(I still dont have the sourcecode set up anywhere, im a lazy person.)

[Q] Too Many ICS Api's

Hey Xda!
Lately, I have come across some pretty cool apps. Such as SF Launcher Alpha, Action Launcher, Sliding Messages, etc. (which I highly recommend you check out, they are pretty cool), but what do they all have in common? They all require ICS or higher Roms. When I email the developers and ask if they could backport the app, they all say the same thing: "Sorry, I use too many ICS Api's to support Gingerbread". Now, I understand that Gingerbread has limitations, but can these apps really not run on gingerbread devices? I remember a year ago that everyone said that the Apollo music player can not run on gingerbread, but look at it now, it is on gingerbread running perfectly fine. So with that being said, can someone explain to me what developers mean when they say they use too many ICS Api's?
Not trying to step on any ones toes either, just want to know.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone?
it means that they don't have any gingerbread phones to test their app on, or simply because they don't want to provide backward support.
