i deal a lot with tech support for various electronics. believe me... ppl who know nothing or very little ALWAYS think everything's easy

Lol But I know a mate that knows alot and still says everythings easy

Yes, it is easy, but every dev wants his android to look the way he wants it. If you want, you can make your own custom theme for the ROM you're using Just go to the theming part of the XDA board (the general one, not the X8 specific )

Could anyone at least tell if it's possible to copy files (and which ones) to copy the theme from 2.1 stock version of android for Xperia X8. If it's impossible, then… well, will have to stick with what we have.

LOL it was just a request.
someone might like it enough to port it
but good luck with that..
those apps will not work for us, and besides your asking for somthing illegal.... like the taco man said if you want them than port them yourself. not trying to be mean but i dont think anyone is going to port those for you.

I wish it was easier to make a ROM. I've tried looking around to figure it out, but its tough. There are some really nice ROMs out there, but nothing that is exactly like what I want (and I'm sure others feel the same). The resources are out there, but it takes a lot of digging and it's not all that easy to understand.
its not really all that hard to grab a rom unpack it add what you want to /data/app/ than repack and resign.
Look around for signing tools, if your on windows you can use this.
Did i read it wrong ? I thought he wanted those apps removed...
But I definitley want to start learning how to start cooking roms ...... but i know nothing aboutdoing it ....so i am reading and reading and reading........
I tried porting a Rom but it wouldn't boot. its a lot harder than I thought as well.

whats so awesome about it?
is it the stability?
the graphics?
what separates it from the rest to want it ported over?
im just asking cause it is a process..but if its something that i possibly have missed then i may give it a go

Hey people.. i got to think about the first days i had with my phone..
i really starting to miss All the LG Stuff The Old Nexus LWP..
the LG Launcher
the white statusbar.. Lol whut?..
so i wanted to ask who could use the old LG launcher? the LG home someone made here is very bad laggy and to be right i don't think its the real one..
@Zdune told me thats because they couldn't port the real one.. :c
please don't ask me why but i love that launcher!!,
so i have a dump of 2.1 with libs n stuff would anyone join me getting some of the old stuff back?, otherwise i have the launcher from the optimus starrr x3 (2X) too!!
Me likey starry
Please please port the Star 2X one I have the original LGHome.APK on my desktop right now , and have access to ALL the system apps if you want them as I found a way to restore completely to 2.1 official firmware for your country It's rooted and I have root explorer , So if you want ANY apps , just ask
Edit---
I actually missed the camera , gallery , LG IME with dictionary , media player and the LG Clock Weather widget (my secret temptation) so pretty tbh...

Devs can't use the existing camera libs from 2.1 ROM neither apply patch on them as they did for froyo, so they need to rewrite them for Gingerbread..but this is extremely difficult..

They have to rewrite libcamera cos they can't patch libcamera from stock sources. Thus, VGA for us until some genius rewrites/patches libcamera. And DDI, just let him try, it won't hurt. Besides, he's willing to spend time and effort so don't just act superior with your condescending and discouraging tone. Support those ppl who attempt to make a difference for ppl like us .
Froyobreads ROMs dont have VGA limit because they aren't Gingerbread/CM7 -> Froyobread based on CM6 (in CM6 camera have no limits).
Gingerbread have limits because devs schould edit ROM source to fix them. This is so dificult. We just waiting .

So are devs are working on it? i see the dev only developing froyo, also i know Froyobread is not VGA limited, it just a Froyo that customized to be like Gingerbread, but really, i hate the rom. I felt the rom has a minus point, but i can't find it.
DDI, if u said better use froyo, use by yourself! your post just make my mood low!

Informations about ''promised'' XperiaSense 2.1

Hi, I'm the developer of the XperiaSense With Sense 3.0. I told to one XDA user that I will make XperiaSense with Sense 2.1. I have some troubles with the PC (still), and it's hard to make the ROM. My last idea is not XperiaSense, but TripleSense. What I mean with this, it will be Sense 2.1 + Sense 3.0 + Sense 3.5. It can take a month if my PC will work (it locks files, but I can't unlock them.). It will be Sense 2.1 launcher (for speed), Sense 3.0 weather, Sense 3.5 music player (Beats, Dolby, SRS) and Sense 2.1 lockscreen. Please tell me if some apps don't works with Sense 2.1, it would be a lot of help for me. The ROM is not maked yet, so you users can write the suggestions for me here, or PM them.
sense 3.x lockscreen, not the sense 2.x one please, or atleast, make a patch for it.
i can help if you really need to... its quite easy:
have a sense 2.1 based ROM
add the files of 2.x lockscreen (or 3.x... PLEASE)
add the files of the 3.0 weather
add the files of the 3.5 music app
all of the files with the apk, and other required files. like the soundfx file for beats and SRS...
see? i know some porting stuff
i just don't have the time to make an actual port
———————————————
i didn't mean to flame you, nor to mock you in any kind of way
I will make Sense 3 lockscreen. Something more?
If you know porting stuff, we both can make a ROM. I can bring the base and the apps apps I want to be in the ROM, and you can port sound etc.
Don't call it XperiaSense, I've already got one called that in the dev section ;-) just joking lol

Hey guys, as we all now there is a multiwindow feature on the s3/note2.
I would like to have this feature on the tab 2 (10.1) too. Are there any devs who would take a look at it? By maybe porting it?
I saw some apps but don't realy like it.

Well el_venga I will await the rom you are building. Dont dis peoples free dev work on a dev site. If you want something then learn to do it. This isnt what this site is about. Whining about something gets you nowhere. This site is a place for you to learn how to do stuff yourself. It seems more and more people are coming here to "pimp" their phone.
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G
I think this feature is kinda complicated to port, since you need to mess up a lot of things in framework (I mean, I don't think it's possible in an easy way like porting to stock without messing up a lot of things).
For example, I like the lockscreen from S3, but lockscreen is something terrible to do inside the framework in this case (yes, I've already tried to port, even for galaxy nexus).
There are 2 Dual Screen apps in Google Play that work well.
Can you tell me the name?

im not whining. its a fact. i gave my opinion about the rom cause i tested it and it has bugs. other users in the same section said it also and we are just waiting. i mentioned the waste of time cause of depositefiles, not the rom. i have 2mbps connection at work and it was WAY lower than 256kbps. i test a lot of roms for my devices and i never whine about it. dont judge me for a misunderstanding. i apoligize if i offended you in anyway.
btw i am a programmer, not of this kind of software, but i am, and i know what it takes to do what devs do. have a nice day.
I apologize as well. Lately on my phomes forum there a lot of new people requesting the hell out of stuff and complainimg about everything. I program too at work.
