android 2.3 hacked evo rom on a dhd

I noticed that the guys in the evo section have a dev/test only 2.3 rom compiled from reverse engineering off the 2.3 sdk. They have already got most of the functions to work, all a bit buggy but cool all the same. I was wondering if I were to flash a evo rom onto my DHD and it didnt work would I still be able to use clockworkmod and reflash my nand backup off sc card?
Or am I just crazy to even think of trying?

I also noticed while rooting/updating my mates Sony Ericsson X10 that there is a sdk dump of 2.3 available. Doesnt really work but still nice to check it out
Anyone willing to do a sdk dump or point me in the direction of how to do it

Ok i attempted to flash the evo 2.3 rom on my DHD.
Didnt work, guess it is because wrong kernal.
Am I the only person who would like to see a skd port of 2.3?
Just to check out, obviously would not run well enough to use as daily rom.
If any1 can point me in the right direction I would love to learn how to port/compile over from a sdk.

I'm as eager as you are! I want a tasty gingerbread
But i'd suggest you wait until a rom is released SPECIFICALLY for your phone...jumping ahead can result in great losses...i'm sure you don't want a £450 paperweight
And trust me, time will fly, before you know it some smart XDA Chef will have released an optimised rom just for our shiny Desire HDs!

Install 2.2 Froyo on Xperia X10

How to install Android 2.2 Froyo on Xperia X10????? I am currently running android 2.1 with build number 2.1.A.0.435
I am on AT&T.

Hey man wats up. You have to install xrecovery and root your phone. But if you need a video tutorial go to youtube and subscribe to bluechip. He has a ton of videos on this

Can you give me the link???
I just wanted to flash to android 2.2. I dont want to root it. is it possible?

no.
u'll need root to install xRecovery,
then from the "X10 Android Development", choose a suitable rom for yourself and follow the instructions made by the developer
(Normally roms are installed using xRecovery)

No, there is no official 2.2 ROM for the X10 and there never will be.
So, to install 2.2 you'll need a custom ROM, cooked by the extremely clever and dedicated folk here at XDA. To get a 2.2 ROM on your phone, you need to install xRecovery. To install xRecovery you need to root your phone. If you want to backup your Apps (highly recommended), you need Titanium Backup, which requires root access. All the 2.2 ROMs available include root access.
If you're worried about rooting your phone, you probably need to stick to a stock SE 2.1 ROM.

There's no risk in rooting, you can always unroot without/and/or revert(ing) to your stock. but I'm guessing since you're running the 2.1 (current build) in america, you're not worried about stock. Don't fear the root!
Also, flashing roms with xreovery (also need busybox) is painless, fun and addictive; plus you can make complete backups of your current state, just incase you f-it up

I use CM 6.1.3 v 4.2 and it's the best of all Froyos on x10. But I want my Camera. it dose not work fully.

As long as bootloader is not open, Froyo is just a ROM on to pof 2.1.... so no 100% Froyo

http://mugur-ionescu.ro/tag/xperia

but even not being "true" froyo, those custom ROMs still run better than 2.1 and you can use all froyo features like app 2 sd and adobe flash, it's worth a try and even fun to check different builds and see what each dev added.
So far i've tryed rendeiro's and wolfbreak's cyanogen 6.1.3 ROMs, i prefer the later because i like to tweak the UI myself, but both run great.

FreeKernel Feedback (Bootloader bypass) UPDATE:VIDEO

Please post all feedback/comments to do with the FreeKernel here
DO NOT SPAM THE BOOTLOADER CRACKING THREAD, IT IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY.
zdzihu said:
The bootloader has been bypassed using the kexec/miniloader method
We are able to boot custom kernels now!
Anyway... this is the first release of the fully working custom kernel (flashable via xRecovery). I haven't had much time to work on it so it's kind of proof-of-concept. Tested for 48h without any problem (not even a reboot).
FreeKernel-alpha1:
http://www.mediafire.com/?d8v914keiqsmc3n
This is the alpha version of custom 2.6.29 kernel based on the SE sources. I do not plan to work on this release anymore - it is just for testing purpose. From today on I'll start to port SE stuff to the latest (GBread) kernel.
Changes:
- removed 32 fps cap
- implemented netfilter (Droid wall, native USB/wifi tethering etc.)
- undervolted to 0.950mV to save battery
- don't remember what else I did, I bet something nasty
- super ugly boot logo!
Requirements:
- baseband .52 + the relevant kernel
- clean 2.1 ROM, compatibile with .52 baseband (e.g. .504)
- working xRecovery
Please note I am not responsible for any damage this software may cause to your device! Use it at your own risk!
There is absolutely no support for this alpha release!​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, if you want to test this new kernel, please keep in mind it is only compatible with stock 2.1 firmwares (.504 and above) that are compatible with baseband 52.
It is only for testing purposes, and any feedback for this alpha kernel is purely for the benefit of others, Z is not and will not be supporting this version, do not expect it to be ready for daily use!
Please post your results and how you get on with the kernel.
Video of FreeKernel
http://vimeo.com/21838810
does anyone know how to embed it?
I tested the kernel on baseband .46 on TripNMIUI 0.3.2, and the removal of the FPS cap is incredible, the phone is so much smoother and fluid it is unbelievable - it is like having a new phone. I noticed the screen feels a lot more responsive aswell!.
Obviously it is not at all compatible with the ROM, there is no radio and there are frequent reboots, but just a taster in terms of things to come
Apologies for the poor video, but I think its enough to get the general gist of the smoothness

Tried custom kernel just for kicks on trips miui 3.2...bb 54 and up super unstable no network/wifi tons of reboots....
bb 52 and bb49 no network but wifi IS working no sd card mount though
gonna test other roms aswell....

For install custom kernel to be need xrec by Z not from flashtool.
All works, clean install bb 2.0.46 and 2.0.A.0.504.
Dont problems.
I done back to my custom rom way xrec and flashed the patch bb.49, nothing problem.
cheers

this will not work on bb .46 i have tried and failed. no network at all. have tried on several roms... only eternity roms are working on this kernel on bb .52....
supposedly it is suppose to work with bb .49 have not tested on this bb so i cant say for sure.
guaranteed on .52 build 504...
results on quadrant show fps cap has been removed.
overclock is not possible but undervolting is
colors have not yet changed but should upon release of other custom kernels

Can I brick my x10 with this or only bootloop it (because bootloop is fixable with SEUS)

will this work with freex10 and can anyone give me a link to the main thread where zdhihu posted this? i can't find it. thanks.

You can't brick it as you only flash some files to the system, and you should still be able to access xrecovery if it bootloops

THIS IS ONLY USABLE WITH STOCK 2.1 ON. 52 BASEBAND!!!
This is a test kernel not meant as anything more than a proof of concept. There is absolutely no reason to flash this unless you are personally working on making your own custom kernels. This kernel is not even an alpha release, it will never be developed or supported. If you choose to flash it just to toy around don't whine about functionality.
When custom kernels are available anything the hardware is capable of and drivers can be written for will be possible. Everyone needs to calm down and quit asking the same questions over and over.

No. Z posted it in the bootloader cracking thread. This is only meant for stock 2.1 FW on. 49-.52 BB and is not functional for daily use. This is only meant as a test if you want a stable new kernel its still going to take a little while.

It won't work with any ROM 100% - its just designed for testing, you won't be able to use it for daily use yet.
If you just want to try it out, its possible it will boot up on freex10 and you will see the effects of not having a FPS cap - but it is unlikely the majority of things will work, like radio etc. as it is meant for stock 2.1 roms.
If you do want to try it, make a backup on xrecovery first

I dont know what you have xD
What do you mean with "its not ready for dayly use" ?
I use it now since yesterday afternoon and everything works perfect!
I had no random reboots and everything is very smooth!
My Battery lost 1 % with stable 1 Ghz (playing around and testing).
So not be scared! flash it!

As in its only supported by the stock 2.1 ROM, and if you run into any problems with it, its not being supported so you won't get a fix

so for example if i install this kernel on my freex10, how can i remove it later if i have problems with it?

Create a backup on xrecovery before installing it, and then when you need to go back just restore it

Hey . Is this really working cos owain in ours minipro forums said its only first april joke, and we cant yet load custom kernel. Is there any difference between x10 bootloader and minis ??? How long it will take to do a fully working roms , softs to ours xperias ???

HELP! 2.3!!!! Help this noob over here =)

Hey guys, ve recently found out that androids can soon play playstation games. but it requires android 2.3 and above. so for x8s running of android 2.3(eg Gingerbread) can they play the playstation games? and can they support FLVs ?(according to my knowledge flash player needs 2.2 or above)
and also ve found out that sony has stopped updating x8 OS, eclair 2.1 is the latest and last ( or something like that) but since we can change our x8 to other OS like 2.3s , why are so many people still so frustated ? (just want to understand more ~ im a newbie)
I wanna use gingerbread 2.3....HELP
What is cynogen mod 7?
what does flashing roms mean? Why?
What is quadrant?
What should i start with? - Rooted, Link2sd, 2.1.1.a.0.6, the last 3 digits of my Baseband version is 015,
so many stuff - Flashing roms~ JiT ~ xRecovery ~
Which step should i take first? can somebody tell me haha.. just tell me what to do and ill go and search and download and THANK YOU! =)
People say the 2.3 is still not stable yet. Camera not working, wifi not working(but i believe that some of the bugs are fixed).. Can anyone tell me the latest condition? What's not working?
sorry for my bad english. Detail explainations would be lovely!!　TT

Hi
I dont know too much about playstation games to x8, but i dont think is so simply.
Flash player will not work in x8 because of cpu limitations
Quadrant: most popular benchmark app for android. See in market
Cyanogen mod is a good custom rom made by a xda member
Flash rom: install a custom rom
The most stable rom at the moment is the minicm 2.2.1 See that topic in x8 developement section. 2.3 is not too stable, has some bugs. Nor recommended for everyday use
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

Here you have custom rom's made by ratch's (thank's to him for his work)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
you must have Xrecovery instaled when you want to instal na custom ROM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426 here is the thread for xRecovery, see instruction's how to instal it
and beforre you get xRecovery you must root your phone (easyest way with SuperOneClick) search on youtube and you will see how that work...

OK thanks so much and what's Jit? and according to my knowledge xrecovery is for backing up the original firmware we ussing?

yes for backup your curent OS and restore new (2.2 or 2.3 android)
I don't know exactly what is Jit, i just know that has to do with performanceof your phone!

for every custom you will need xRecovery, because you restore (or flash) miniCM or ratch's 2.2 or 2.3

Jit= just in time
Android 2.1 translate the java code with precaching, but if you enable jit the code interpreter translating in real time, doesnt use cache. So it is faster

Okay i wanna ask a question
Link2sd needs two partitions in ur sd..i have..One for normal usage and one for apps only.
I just installed cm7 rom and ive found out that it only uses the free space my first partition and the free space of my 1st partition becomes its "everything". so for my cm7 rom, theres no 2nd partition. how can i get link2sd work on my cm7 rom then?

2.3 roms use only fat32 partition. Backup data from sd and format sd as fat32

okay maybe im not detail enough..
i was using stock rom 2.1.1.a.0.6,
and my sd has 2 partitions, both FAT32 , i call them :
a) for normal usage
b) for creating links using link2sd
so now i installed the 2.3rom into (a) and it becomes as if it only has one partition. so im just wondering can we use the partition tool shown in the xrecovery menu to solve this, to divide my (a) into 2 partitions.
Sorry for being noob =)

[Q] android noob

Having taken the plunge for my first android phone namely the SE X10 on a standard rom and already rooted it, I'm just wondering if any of you would like to give me some tips on what to do next with this phone having being a wm 6.1 user for many years I'm at a bit of a loss with this one I've never used linux or any of the derivatives of that software which I'm lead to believe android is based, so pretty much clueless with this one kind regards Mcpaddy.

and

Basically you need to decide whether you want to go with a totally custom ROM, or modify the SE 2.1 ROM.
If you go total custom there are some guides to do it as telmoabff linked above.
I chose to just mod the 2.1 SE ROM and there are many different options you can go with, also many guides which will help you out.
You can get some very good customization / performance out of the 2.1 SE ROM...however, to get the absolute best performance / totally custom you will have to go with one of the user developed ROMs.
(Since I am kind-of new to this as well someone please correct me if I am wrong.)

I would root, install xrecovery and then z's freex10 b4 froyo rom as its the simplest and most stable rom i have tried. Once you have it running good then make a backup and try out any of the roms that float your boat, you can always just restore back to z's rom if things go wrong. Very hard to break the x10 have put mine in bootloop bout 6 times trying out the cool stuff on here but always been able to fix it!
Just my opinion tho

FreeX10 is the base for which all of the X10 Froyo ROMs are built, if you want something that has more tweaks and features Wolfbreak's CyanogenMod 6.1.3 ROM is a good one with a lot of support and features. Id go custom if I were you mainly because of the fact that 2.1 doesnt support Flash or app2sd which are 2 features that really make android great.

Or you can use freex10 and simply flash cyanogen settings via xrecovery

If you want to stick with stock you should sysctl and jit along with few build.prop mods. Just search the forums. I would recommend the Z's freex10 rom for speed and stability. Tripmiui rom for something different.
