Android 2.1 running on x10, (VIDEO)

I dont know if this has been covered yet but i thought you guys would be interested in this information
www youtube com /watch?v=2z-9XgbehQ4
the video shows an X10 running android 2.1, its not clear as to wether its rooted or not but its definately running it
(cant post links, so u have to edit the link before pasting it into your browser )

Pretty nifty! Took forever to boot, hey? Besides the boot logo the fw didnt look SE whored out. Perhaps it is root? Or maybe an early se build?

This video was posted today in youtube.lets hope the guy tell us how he did it

that's a crappy video, hard to see. must have been taken with a crappy phone lol

I must get in touch with that guy to ask him about multitouch capabilities. If this is the official clean 2.1 we can get the final response (the only limit, in this case, could be the bootloader but I don't think so).

the first logo looks like an Arrow sign , may be downloading something to the phone or something else that is why it took that long

SE as stated several times that the screen is not hardwarewise capable of MT.

yeah great no multitouch we get it, does anyone have ANY idea how this was done?

And Synaptics has stated several times to me <<just wait and see>>. I believe in multitouch, IMHO it's only a patent problem

For the record Synaptics managed to soft enable multi touch gestures on there standard trackpad panels, its more than possible to enable it with a little bit of fancy work (eg registering each touch seperatly at high speed and then relaying it as a single multi touch gesture to the OS). Multitouch is what everyone is obsessing over today then eh? weather its possible or not is no one else at all at interested in who even did this let alone how?! Peace and love.

ya .. except the boot logo .. cant seem to see anythng else ..

it can also be some emulator+remote desktop video, as it was with htc hd2 running wp7. i am staying calm in this case, no additional info, nothing written there.. even the video quality. from my point of view it is not real.

If its fake i say we get a hold of his email and email him in bulk stating how much of a **** he is, i however dont think its fake, if it was you would expect much more input/response latency than we are seeing, it looks native, and if he where to fake it he would have used 2.2......

Yes, but if you run it in emulator and access it via wifi in local network, the responses also can be quite good.. And as far as I know, hacking the bootloader is really not easy, and honestly - if I'd done it, at first I would write some informations about what I've done.. And not just some "nothing saying" video on youtube..

yeah i think its a little bit conspicuous but.. im not looking for reasons that its fake, lets just take it at face value for the moment. i still am of the view that remote connection isn't as fast as navigation in that video, im going to test this out tonight.

do vanilla 2.1 have a blue status bar like in our 1.6 X10 ? if not it maybe an early SE 2.1 build that they promised because i clearly see a blue status bar and as you guys mentioned the boot-loader is hard to crack

not sure about that ive heard the phone can have multitouch

Can you please give your delusions a rest? I mean... I respect that you wanna give yourself false hope, but please don't give disappointments to the community around you.
It's a fact that it's been officially announced that the hardware doesn't have the capapilities.
I can introduce you a good search engine called 'Google', and to can visit the official Sony Ericsson blogs for the facts.
Sigh...

My experience with AOSP 2.1 v004

You can see a massive speed up with AOSP
Games are smoother
Loading times are faster
Finally i feel like my x10 is working for me instead of against me.
The disabled video decoder does make the cpu use alot more battery watching video.
Once the Dual touch driver comes to light we will be in heaven.
Now if i could only find a deep black theme.

Notice anything not working? I'm trying to decide if I want to learn everything I need to do to install this.

Shouldn't this be in the dev forum?

I'm going to wait until the next update to hopefully iron out the rest of the bugs and errors.
MT will be amazing.
Will the custom 2.2 rom ever be ready for normal use?

Perhaps, but I think it's appropriate in here without adding any clutter. I certainly appreciate the review. Despite loosely following the main thread myself, it's challenging to deal with all the scattered posts trying to troubleshoot, report problems, etc. I hope the mods can leave it here.

Likewise, the only thing stopping me using the ultralight version of AOSP 2.1 is the dial out loop. I am hanging for Jerpelea to get it sorted

Dude, calm down. It's more or less of a proof of concept. The devs made this very clear. Absolutely no one has any right to make a complaint whatsoever.
The devs don't owe anything to anyone.

Add ons and "fixes" for Nero v4

I don't even know if I'm allowed to start threads here since I am nowhere near being a Dev but I do love this forum and appreciate all who are out to make our Vibrants the way Samsung should have and who are living up to the Google open source standard.
If this is a waste or not allowed to be here, mods feel free to delete this thread
I've noticed that most all of Vibrants owners have modded their phones with Team Whiskey Roms and are very particular. Some also don't like reading or searching. I don't blame you when there are over 800 thank you posts and only about 50 quality helpful posts in any ROM thread.
This is why I wanted to start this thread. I went through all of the pages from the nero v4 rom and found all the posts directly from that thread that had some sort of apk or mod that many people were asking for. I must have seen atleat 20 posts alone for the "larger battery number mod"
Again, if this is unnecissary my feeling won't be hurt if a Mod wants to delete this thread.

The FFC will make it so your 1280p recording doesn't work.you can still record in 720

Nice Work!

Very cool.

1280p and 720 do you mean 720p doesn't work but you can still use 720x480 (or whatever the next smaller resolution below 720p is)?

Here's CIFS/NFS support for any vibrant with froyo, including nero4

Good work! This will help alot
Thank you!

Many Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Very much appreciated... truly a life saver!

can you post or provide a link for the nero v3 battery indicator w/o the percentages. Thanks

How do you go about installing these? Just copy the apk to the correct location?

I'll leave stick, but moved to correct section.
Moved of: Samsung Vibrant > Vibrant Android Development

Do I install the apk for the facebook app, or do I push it? The original thread you linked to is a little vague. Thanks in advance!

Yeah I guess. Whatever the highest resolustion of the Camcorder is, it won't let you record when you apply the fix in that link. The next resolution below it will though.

I don't know cause I am one of the only college students in the world that doesn't use Facebook. You could always download the apk and do a trial and error with it.

Why not just install Nero V4.1??

Correct, you can record in standard low-res 720x480, but trying to record in HD is broken - that's why that camera was removed from Nero.

Some people are complaining about the sms/mms messaging, market, and other things. I for one am having no problems whatsoever(knocksonwood) but others have contributed to the thread and listed atleast the add-ons or "fixes" in the thread multiple times b/c some people don't want to read (i.e. complaining about DoW kernel when there is a disclaimer about it in the OP of the thread)

Ahh, I also have no issues, but was curious why the title made it seem like this was only for 4.0, not necessary for 4.1... thanks for the clarification. I know 4.1 took care of a lot of issues in 4... odd.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Gingerbread Update Might Deliver Multi-touch and Mor

Might is a very tame word. Considering the device does not have the ability to handle anything more than dual touch, this is interesting news.

it will bring multi-touch, resolution 1024x768, blu-ray support.. etc..
and all that on 2.9.26 kernel build.. uv, oc too.. come on ppl be happy if that gb even moves with that time/medi-scape s**t...

Are you crazy? It will deliver 1440x900 resolution, 1080p recording at 60fps, 8mp cap lifted to 16.1mp, fps cap lifted to 58fps including 3D with some accents of time/mediapain.

Well, this was originally posted in brazilian Sony Ericsson official Blog, so I think we could give it a shot. A lot of people said X10 wouldn't support even dual touch, and now we have it. Maybe Sony Ericsson found a way to fix it, despite the hardware limitation, bypassing, I don't know. If SE said multitouch will come with the 2.3 update, I guess I will wait hopefully for that.
The source is in portuguese and I'm too lazy to translate it now, but you guys can believe what I'm saying or use a translator .

2.3 also brings: Full HD screen resolution, native .exe execution, CoD Black Ops pre-installed, slide out joypad like on Xperia Play, and Airplane mode finally turns phone into airplane of your choice, just like we all expected when seen it for the first time...
Also, don't forget about kexec exploit fix == stuck on SE's FW... But with all these functions, why would you want to switch to another ROM??? Enjoy

lol hahaha... iam so excited about the new GB update coming soon...

Read somewhere that the official.update will be released.at the end of July.

Nope. He hacked the CPU power to route it through a Galaxy S2

Pshhh dual core is sooo the day before, talk to me when you have 8 cores implemented

You need Galaxy S II, then with simple CPU reroute process via Wi-Fi, BT, J-Tag, USB and a few more solder points you connect X10 to Galaxy's CPU.
Then you take super glue, and stick the phones together. zdzihu will publish the pictures soon
It was easy, and during the process RSA key was found - it was a nice surprise to find all root, red and brown keys under the CPU on a piece of paper, hand-written with signature of SE's CEO

Well I like MIUI too, I switched from one of trip's earlier versions I think it was 1.0.4 to Cobrato's MIUI & couldn't be happier, everything works as it should

Question for the DEVS

I just saw this clip on youtube. Is there anyway we could get this to the Xperia Play maybe?

If you've checked the video's forewords, it has a link to the MoDaCo thread where you can install it. It seems to need a CWM script if I recall correctly, so read it a bit. It should be nice to try it and you won't break anything.

kinda looks like iOS LAME
Bit ugly for my liking.

Yeah i clicked on the link, but i didn't get how to install it. And if you read the comments the guy is saying it doesn't work on phones, because it doesn't have a phone function ect. That's why i asked if someone could build something like it? maybe steal the script and rewrite it for android phones.

is this tab only or could it be put on xperia play

This works in.phones too, you shouldn't need to do anything bar installing the APK. That launcher was made for Froyo...
