Is it possible to root the x8 with the x10 software, or change some parts of the x8 software with the one on the x10? Because x10 has a better software and some other apps!

I know I especially want the social phonebook ,but there are some compatibility issues you can install it alright and view the contacts list but you cant view the details of a particular contact apparently it is integrated tightly with timescape...
Plus all these apps have only hdpi files while x8 supports mdpi files
So it doesn't fit the screen or crash.
In short it needs to be optimized for smaller screens or it won't work...

Is someone working on this kind of project?
kingrz,
Are you talking about 2.1 or 1.6 software?
I'm talking about the 2.1 and in generlly of the x10 firmware.
Who cares about this?!

Hi,
I saw a demo of the keyboard app on the Sony Ericsson X10 phone and it seems to be pretty nice!
Anyone know if it's possible to extract the app so it can be used in other android devices?
Edit: Added screens
not many of us even have the device yet... so i'm not entirely sure how hard anything will be without root.
secondly i'm not sure this has much to do with android development.. might be better off in the themes and aps section .. being that you are asking about an app?

Anyone can extract the input.apk for install with x10?
I am buying a x10 in a non-chinese market and i am afraid that it doesn't come with chinese input..
I bought my phone in Belgium and it has a Japanese keyboard.
the keyboard of the x10 is not good. I'm now using the HTCkeyboard which I have download here on th Xda forum.

I agree, the first thing I did was install the HTC keyboard, I miss the left and right arrows however.

with the latest version you can use the volume buttons as arrow kays
anyone can do that for us to try the keyboard on other android devices?

Evening... Has anyone downloaded the "Sony Ericsson Tutorial" app yet? It's got a nice demo of one finger zooming and the 3D scrolling features that we're soon to see rolled out.. Both very nice indeed... The one finger zooming is particularly easy to use and very natural feeling.. better than my experience of pinch zoom. Go check it out.
omg that's amazing
is this coming with the update?
im new to android so i will never be able to program this on my own lol.
wow thnx nice stuf indeed. hope it comes out soon
This isn't 'coming out' at all. Its an advanced development tutorial to recreate some of the features on the X10 mini onto the X10.
If you check the first example you will find the instruction on creating it in Java...
Someone may release an app with this stuff though

So just out of curiosity, this could be built-in to a version of maps right?

damn....
this phone has so much potential !
oo i see.. :S then why isn't sony just integrating this in the x10 ?
and i dunno but if you make that than you will not be able to use it in mediascape right?? so no point in it
You have to assume, surely, that they will use some if this stuff in mediascape and timescape? they're not paying their devs just for fun!

Its on the X10 mini (from what I can see)
You would hope that they would release an update to incorporate this stuff on the X10, especially as it is more powerful than the mini.
Unfortunately I'm not very good at creating apps, but maybe somebody on here can create a gallery app with one finger zoom and the 3d list for the phone book?
Here's to hoping
Mod edit: not t&a related, moved to general
Hello!
My question is simple: How can I get Multitouch feature on my X8?
The Answer is simple, too: You can't get it.
The hardware supports it (IIRC). Sony just needs to update the software to support it.
Thanks, I hope they will do this quickly!
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Well, they appear to be doing it to the X10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777415
Hopefully they will bring this to the X8.

You are wrong, as X10 will get it, X8 will get it too,as the the screens are alike.
With 1.6 und 2.1 there is NO Multitouch support.

Because of this, sony could bring an update out at any moment to allow multi-touch.
Think main question is whether or not SE choose to keep the x10 "more exclusive" by not enabling double-touch on the x8.
On the x10 minis, you can hardly fit 2 fingers on the screen anyways
You could be right. But the X10 is nothing fantastic anyway, I don't see what they have to loose by enabling multi-touch on the X8.

But the question is, does HTC Wildfire have the exact same touch display as X8? Because that's what important, not the android version.
Even dual-touch will be good enough for me, so it depends on SE when they will release the update...
Damnit.

I've heard that both x8 and x10 have "only one layer of the capacitor screen, so multitouch can't be real for them", but I don't know if that's true. I hope not.

Guess what, we-ve got semi-pinchzoom now :>
We should open the x8 to see the chip, and compare it to the WildFire's chip.
I think that they will be the same more or less.
ByTheWay Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is an older phone than the x8.
Sony Ercisson is a capitalistic pig.
Well Xperia Arc or so called x12 has dualtouch only.
I'll go for the Desire HD, Galaxy S or Iphone 4 rather than the Xperia Arc.
Well if they decide to enable multitouch to the Xperia x8- win on both sides.

Multi- or dual-touch depends on touch digitizers, not chip. There's someone working on a kernel module that can enable a limited verion of pinch-to-zoom.
None of the makers of smartphones are in it for the goodwill. They're all capitalist organisations out there to make money for their shareholders. To say that x10 is older than x8 will be to compare a jaguar from 2 years back with a new ford fiesta of today.
Go to Custom Kernel in Development Section, there, we talk about custom kernel with Multi/Dual Touch
That can't be possible there are already multitouch kernels out there for the x10 but im not sure about the x8 il look it up for u

Anyone knows if x8 can support multitouch. Is it hardware limitation or just software stupidity of SE?
While I was reading x10 news about multitouch, the article basically said the phone developers themselves had to "hack" the phone and enable it via software.
Basically if I understood it correctly from the article, the hardware is flagged as "non supportive", while it can be enabled via software.
That above ^ makes no sense, so I'd just say it's a software issue.

Right, basically means the software for multitouch is already done.
Now let's see how long it'll take them to dispatch the update

Excuse me for being upfront, but you'll have to change your slogan in that mini "campaign"
The whole intention of them not updating software is most likely to just force you to buy new versions of mobile phones you already have ( x10 -> arc, x8 -> some new phone that'll come in 2011 ).
So it's all the same for them if you stick to your x8 for example, as the only thing they're attempting to do here is to force you to buy a new mobile phone - if you don't succumb to it, they don't give a flying **** cause you'll be stuck on a outdated, non-updating platform, and it's in your best interest to get off it if you're at least a bit of a tech savvy individual.
Also, people who stick with Sony Ericsson brand since their first phone ( such as myself, from old Ericsson t20e 'till newest x8 ), is their main market. No matter how bad service is, I won't change my mobile phone brand, as it's something I've gotten used to ever since I was 8 ( 13 years later, still using the same brand ), and same goes for many many users out there who don't need tech stuff like most of us here on xda want.
At least that's my point of view on it.
Sad really, but heh :\ Anyway, sorry for derailing the thread, and I signed up on facebook for the 2.2 support.
if is for X10, so it's will be for X8 also

@refract : I dont know.I think I will never buy a SE again if they dont publish new updates like 2.2+ for SE X8 because for exp : If I buy a new SE mobile next year,maybe will there again no updates for it -.-
Next phones will have better updates schedule.
