Sent from my Nexus-X8 using Tapatalk

When i finally think i'm happy with a custom rom, i find a new one that i wanna test. Thanks a bunch!

I only get 868 points in Quadrant with the Arc-X8 i installed yesterday. All in all the phone runs smooth and more ore less fast but Angry Birds e.g. in some situations is very slow.
Does anyone know when a new version of minicm will be released?

Check out nobodyatalls thread at x10

got it now...poor on me didn't know all X8 systemics yet LoL ...
The rom does not choose the number of colours that the device has, that must be kernel related. Stop talking nonsense. And MiniCM is the best because it's complete, while as racht's floyo was left in the dust by him... maybe he'll finish something, like the gingerbread rom.

MiniCM
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
in my opinion... MiniCM, floyo has been discontinued long time ago
i did have mini cm but im back on stock rom now, TBH i didn't see any speed increase or any increase in battery life i can get the same ish look just by installing launcher pro from my sd card, only thing it really gives you is app2sd which i can live without. if i had to pick it would be minicm ^^

[Q] What do you whant on your X8?

So tell us what do you want on your X8?

I want real dual touch for synaptics

Ok i got some great news...
The battery can be better and bigger

And dual touch is 1 step closer on synaptics Devs will make it after cyanogen makes thair port to x8 then well have cyanogen ( orginal one ) on our X8. Maybe devs after that will make a dual touch possible on your SYNAPTICS x8

SE Xperia 8 - Rooted - Stock Rom
lol thats like carrying a car battery in a rucksack if you have a pacemaker

[Discussion] Features Wanted for SpartaMOD [Based on my 2.3.7 AOSP]

The next update of the ROM will be based on FreeXperia Sources 100%
Which should fix tethering and most other things
I love my X10 and there is a bond with other X10'ers here
I wanted to start modding my AOSP into something that I want to call SpartaMOD
I had prepared for this some time ago ...
The ROM will be added on ROM Manager (HTC Desire HD section )
I only have the guts of asking because I now have a lot more knowledge as I created my App "God Mode" based on OMFGB
what would you want in this ?
Be very specific and the advantages of having it
I can't include MIUI Lockscreens , xLoud , etc (I'm not TripNRaver)
Please be careful This MOD will be spread to very many devices
Plans for now are :-
ARC , Neo and X10
HTC desire s and desire HD
Any one cares ?

1. combination of launcher will be great.
SE 2.3.3 floating overview, SE home, Go style application drawer with animations and build in task killer.
2. CM theme chooser
3. Must have apps pre-installed
Rooted and Superuser 3.0
Explorer (free)
New Android Market
Titanium Backup (free)
Facebook inside Xperia (perhaps )
On the T.E.A.M Rom they have appman which I believe is good for putting add-ons onto your rom without having them pre-installed or having them downloaded from the thread.
Thought of joining FreeXperia Team, spaarc?
You'll make a great addition, i think you should take my name "prodigy" cos you really are one, 15 yrs and first to port 2.3.7 about 4 days after release, remarkable achievement!

The question isn't abOut porting here
It is about open source development
I just wanted to create something like cyanogenmod but with a touch of my own and the recommendation of users
It would be better if Sony could have applications, such as Timescape and the camera application..

Is it possible for you to develop something that lets say could totally rework something like the statusbar?
Like being able to choose where the signal bar will be and the battery icon?
Something like that would be awesome

Pure Stock Project

Hello guys!
After trying and trying to get cdma stock rom working on gsm I realized that it was impossible LOL.
So I decided to start a new project instead: I called it the "Pure Stock Project".
It is a rom based on. 79 firmware, modded by me to look like cdma.
Let me know what you guys think, and if I should release it, screenshots in attachment!

Thank you man :good:
The only thing is that some semc apps use a button reference in the SemcGenericUxpRes, with a white text color, so in apps like dialer text is sometimes hard to see in some buttons
I'm trying to find a solution, since it's impossible to decompile and correctly recompile that framework.

why free ram is that much low
are you using a 720p kernel?

gaming on GB is always good, ram depends on your kernel, 720p kernel on GB is recommended (or doomkernel)
i have usually 240mb ram in stock GB - never faced any problems in the heaviest games. ram and benchmark-numbers (especially antutu) is just numbers-porn.

And yeah, 720p kernel there

try to mod lockscreen to be like cm7
mod dialer to look like AOSP

Actually, I tought of implementing ADJ tweaks and adrenobooster v0.7 by default, since it's still a stock rom, not an AOSP rom like cm7
In other words, I've changed most of the png's in the framework-res.apk (hard work lol), systemui.apk, most of the app to match cdma's icons, and other changes that I don't remember, so I don't think it should be easily used as a base rom

Advantages of Firefox OS on Arc S

Dear Arc/S users
Althought we - Arc or Arc S users - use a smart phone that come out only two year ago we can't use our telephone without custom roms, because it is very laggy, and have got lots of bugs notification led etc. with 4.0.4 update. And some users including me have privacy concerns with permission etc.
I want to call attention to advantages Firefox OS on Arc S:
1. First, I saw this video. http://youtu.be/5MzuGWFIfio. In video Firefox Browser that was very laggy on my Arc S with Custom ROM is working awesome without any lag. And the phone in the video has 256 Mb RAM. Think this os how works fast on Arc S.
2. And all Xperia 2011 series except for Arc have a Firefox OS Development Topic. We have a topic too but is not improved yet, and haven't got enought attention. I open this topic for this stuation.
3. Boot in less than 6 seconds even in MDPI devices. (This Xda Topic) (Edit 1: Firefox OS open as fast as 4.0.4 stock dialer. )
4. The small footprint of a browser based operating system means that B2G should significantly extend battery life before re-charging.(This Xda Topic)
5. B2G will be the first mobile OS to use Do Not Track at the operating system level. (This Xda Topic)
Is there a way to do a backup and transfer messages and contacts from android to firefox and return ?
