[Q] USB-host

Can we make a USB-host support or our device hopeless as SE support?

I need to know, too. Because I must decide to buy X8 or not in next hours.
So is there a mod so I can plugin a card reader, cam or cam corder via USB? Best would be to directly contact with my HD camcorder which got an HDD storage drive and mini USB.
Please reply fast!!
Could this work? WMStorage (sometimes named as WM5torage) is a thing I found. Put it in google its the first link from site called deblor.
I read often in Custom ROMs of "USB mass storage". Does this mean with these ROMs I can use the X8 as an USB host?

This is really important. Please tell me if there is a way.

So how about it?!

I think we can get it if doixah read this tread
or other devs

I know that Qualcomm MSM7227 (our CPU) supports USB-host... For example developers make this for ZTE Blade sven.killig.de/android/Blade/usb_host/ But we should be able to boot from custom kernel
PS: sorry, my English can be terrible

but is it compitable with the x8.
or does somone need to port it

It can be compiled as kernel module. However, SE USB host sources seems to be incomplete.

U think for the usb otg?

Oh well... I would have chosen not to buy the phone if I knew what Sony was like... I wonder if the PS3 Users are as pissed as we are... Anyway, I'm just a full feature user and not a dev. so I respect you people. I don't wanna drive you crazy with my questions, but the making of the new kernel.. a month? half a year? I would just want to get some more boost into the little device

So if you work for SE, why would you want to put your name in ROM... Why don't you simply sign img file with red signature and post .sin files here for us to flash with FlashTool?

eventually it will be available on our phone, just it takes some time to port. Patience is all we can have for now and let dev to work.

wHen its released
Great news but when you released that Rom whatever Alpha, Beta, whatever Experimental version, when u released that one, already some one make the that Rom for X10, still we are waiting for that i hope u released as soon as possible keep it up.

I'm running 2.3.7 on my SO-02D and it's really not a big difference from 2.3.4. ICS will be here soon and then we will all see big UI/performance improvements.

At one point DoomLord had a means of seeing how old the ROM was... when it was signed.

maybe it is a pre-upgrade to ics or jb that leaves everything more advisable to make the jump

i think that was another error from sony
oh god , i wish i could hate sony ...
2 years passed that i'm waiting for xperia play 2 , but now ... sony playing game with us !!
thanks guys to inform us about new FW and change-log !! so , it's not woth to flash

As I have written earlier in the other thread, we shouldn't get our hopes up. This new fw should only fix timescape, and is a pretty useless upgrade imo... Screw Sony

Any battery life improvements in this update ?

:good:

I have been testing the new baseband on the T-Mobile network in the netherlands (wich is known for bad internet connections).
While it does feel like it loads pages on more places i have been seeing more missing pictures while using this baseband then on the older 36 baseband.

sony update service

sony update service will no longer be around, it's closeing it's doors very soon, so the only way to update is flashtool or sony pc compaion,
just a little info, hope i havent wasted a tread for this , regards joe
and youtube live is available on playstore for z1 works well, but your device might get a bit warm while in use,
hit the thanks if i helped you thank you, joe

PC Companion + Flashtool are enough.

Pccompanion was always better. In S(E)US you could only download the files with a locked bootloader, at least with pccompanion it allows you to download the files then stops at the installation part with an unlocked bootloader. This lets you make the FTF file and flash it anyway. So much easier.....

When I was using SEUS pc companion didn't exist.
SEUS have sentimental worth, you cannot understand that if you didn't use Sony Ericsson in last 6-7 years

Ever heard of NaviFirm for Nokia devices? I'm making one for Sony & Sony-Ericsson Android-based devices. Lets you download older versions also, by the way.

It not only checks every firmware for the latest version but has a database of FTF's for downloading
It may be worth speaking to the OP of that thread to see if your projects overlap or if you could help each other

My program doesn't need anything from the users, it gets the official FILE_* from Sony's Update servers. You can create any FTF you want with them. I've got some private complementary programs that search for new CDFs and new releases automatically. The CDA numbers will be stored on my own servers along with Release information (because Sony removes old releases from the update, but the actual files are still on the server, which means any release before I started to build this program are probably gone forever).

Hey,
It was not meant negatively, just a heads up, I just though it may help you or them in furthering your project

Did I sound negative? Sorry, too much House MD hah.
I was just pointing out that our programs use different approaches. I do the updating manually using my own automatic tools.
That guys actually relies on the community to provide ready-to-use FTFs hosted on public sharing sites.

OK, no worries
