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?

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

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?

thanks dude. btw what dya mean by not recommended for everyday use? r u trying to say that the longer a not-so-good stuff is used in our phones, the more dangerous it will be? and does minicm2.2.1 require anything other than xrecovery?

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 =)

adobe flash player 10.2 when can work on xperia x8 for version 2.2/2.3

i have a question , now we have the updated rom for 2.2, for the flash player 10.2 version seem like also unable to use and install into the android web browser.
any one have try?

X8 processor DOESNT SUPPORT Flash player, so whatever firmware you use, it wont affect anything.

How about flashlite like the one that comes built in the gingersense rom

If like that,we updated so much n without the upgrade flash tools, as for Tom 2.2 & 2.3 is just a common software tool

even without flash,2.2 and 2.3 rom are much2 faster and smoother than stock 2.1...plus it have app2sd which 2.1 does not have..if you want flash support..buy a higher end phone such as htc or samsung.

Use skyfire browser

Author, if you want to install flash - just try it. And don't spam here! People here still talking about flash on Arm7, and why we can't install it, and again somebody must post that stupid question!
You misunderstand info from gsmarena. Turn on terminal emulator, type 'dmesg' and read there. And that's all!

Adobe has declared that full flash support will only be available for ARMv7 CPUs. perhaps the one in the huawei is flash lite...? or maybe has a skyfire browser.
u've had enough of us guys saying? go rant in adobe's forums then.
//edit: btw... gsmarena's info is sometimes questionable... nothing in huawei's product site indicates that it support flash... and what's more...
Sourced from http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/mobile_phones/huawei/ideos_u8150/363402
One benefit of Froyo that doesn't apply to the Huawei IDEOS is full Flash support for Web browsing. Huawei says that the IDEOS doesn't have enough processing power to offer full Flash support.

i did find this about the phone.
"Although the Galaxy Ace is running the Flash-capable Android Froyo, there is no Flash support in the web browser."
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_s5830-review-573p6.php
would you count that as flash support?

Adobe is responsible for this.... it keeps the arm6 incompartibility on the background in the shadow of "requirments".

...the videos are not play on browser but on "youtube.apk"... flash are not only videos.... and this is spesific an youtube flash player.... it just run the video, not the youtube flash player.
If it was full flash support the player's layout would be the same as on the pc.
I don't think it is imposible to be our arm6 supporded by adobe, but curently nobody is working on it.

its possible to run flash on msm7227!

the new htc wildfire s with 600mhz msm7227 processor support flash in the browser! and dont lags with it. so maybe the official adobe flash not support arm v6 but htc writed the flash lite for armv6, so it can run flash.
just saying, that many people said, that its impossible and its not support and never will run flash and look, its working.

HTC has flash lite which is available only in their roms, other than that this chip doesn't support Flash. Search the forums it has been asked a million times already.

yes it has been asked milion times here but till now no dev answered the question if flash lite can be ported to our X8, for example in racht´s sense roms.

Flash lite is deeply integrated in HTC roms. It isn't only apk. Read this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004553

Yes, but what is deeply integrated can still be ported. Doixanh proved that on the basis of gingerbread crt animation ported to froyo ROM.

ok, so flash lite is deeply intergrated in htc roms. that theoreticly means that it could work in sense roms from racht as i´ve already mentioned. or am i wrong?

So try to do it urself, do not spam here.

i don´t think that a question is a spam in Q and A forum, but allright that´s your opinion. i wish i would be able to do smthing like that but i´m no dev. brain on!

So im right? Flash lite can run on x8 but just with sense / htc rom?

Upgrading SGY to ICS 4.0? Is it possible?

So i was wondering if i can upgrade my SGY to ics 4.0?
Or can it damage my phone? or is it not safe?
And if i finish upgrade my phone am i be able to play games that require an higher android version?
please answer.
Thanks in advance,.
^^

no.
CM9 is the closest ICS-based rom for SGY,
it is unstable and unusable for daily use
use search function,
and look for current developments in the development section

CM9 by WhiteXp is still Unstable! Generally people theme their ROM to look like the Firmware they Like.....

Note - these are not ics 4.0 rom
u can use nemesis rom , hyperion 8 rom which is jellybean styled rom..bt nemesis rom fully jellybean themed rom but its lag lil becoz of its launcher u can remove its launcher...it will be smooth..:laugh:

No you can't, at least that's what I heard till now...
But you can try Custom ROMs and flash an ICS Theme to it. Like Repencis v3.5 ROM, and this is for the ICS Theme

Well, you can't upgrade the mobile to android 4.0. CM9 is very unstable, and that really the only rom which has the features of ics. Roms such as jellyblast don't work.

THERE is no ICS available for SGY but can u ALIN theme on COD OR HYPERNION ROM

You can also try ICS_fusion by hell_lock.
It gives ICS like experience.
Generally THD games require JB+,but some might work on GB.
Just try using cf3D plugins.
Just edit your build.prop if u want to play ICS games.
Press thanks if I helped.
And devs correct me if I am wrong.

But won't editing the arm v6 to arm v7 put your device in risk of overload? I mean, armv7 requires a floating point calculations, right?

definetly impossible,
armv7 is a CPU architecture which means it has to be configured to the diodes in the chip itself,
even with instruction coding it will not work
you can't make armv6 to armv7 via software code,
same thing as pasting 2 pentium 4 cores does not make it a dual core

Oh gosh. I could hardly understand with that run on sentence.
Lol. We don't have a lot of mods like the ones you mentioned. All you have to do is unlock, root, install a recovery and flash whatever rom or kernel you want and that's it. We have a lot of development here so you can choose whatever you like.
