2.1 Experience on Xperia X10

Hello Xperia patient fans,
I installed Android 2.1 yesterday (don't ask me how, I have good connections) here are the proofs:
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxIIdFZ69YU
and here are my first impressions.
- First of all the system is faster (only after few hours of use it really became faster).
- The interface is really nice, a lot of improvements in all details.
- Address book is integrated with Facebook contacts in a very nice wy, you get all updates directly in your phone book
- The camera records in HD at 720p. Here are the proofs (choose 720p): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXztObF4hs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M01GXXzSSQw
- There is no Multitouch
- Live wallpapers are included
- No pintch and zoom
- Moxier mail is still there
- Battery seems to last longer (I'll confirm after longer usage)
- Phone dialer application is improved
I'll see more and come back. If you want me to test specific features leave a comment here or on my blog: http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html

3D Gallery is the default Eclair gallery, that has been replaced by Mediascape.
It is still there though in the /system/app, I saw it in the system dump you provided us.
If you choose to place the Picture Frame widget on your screen, it opens the 3D gallery to choose a picture from.
And for the love of God, you have -theoretically- lost your warranty since you installed a pre-release of the firmware, so please try the one-click app to root!
Please please please...

call recording on Gingerbread attempts!

Been cruising around the forums looking for any sign of attempt that some of the pro's out there are trying to bring call recording to gingerbread. Then i suddenly realised that there are a lot of us out there actually waiting for this option in order to upgrade.
So anyone interested in seeing call recording on gingerbread this is the place to attempt it.
I am now downloading gingerbread and planning on pushing the call recording files over to see if it could be as simple as that.
Anyone with more experience your input would greatly be appreciated.
UPDATE: ok phone wouldn't boot similar to BridX's situation.
Any Dev's care to give their input?

Hy, I'm waiting this option too. I also wait gingerbread lock animation.

I tried copying tha call recording files as stated but after that, my phone didn't start. Am on 2.3.2 gingerbread xxjv1.

2 way recording can be easily achieved without even a need to flash Darkyy's rom, since it is based on 2.2.1.
This thread is for GB, and checking to see if it works the same way as in 2.2.1. Obviously it looks like it doesn't.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Has anyone tried this on JVK? im planning on but i flashed my phone too many times this week i need a break to focus on exams

I'm also waiting to call recording in order to update to Gingerbread!

It will be available once the relevant rom (china GB, i believe) is out. Asking for it isn't going to make it come out any faster.

Wasn't the call recording phone apk pulled from the SGS Armani?

I'm not entirely sure, but if you go to the froyo call recording thread, it says in there (it might not be in the OP).

How did Nvidia get Skype video to work on an A500?

Few days ago I watched a video where an Nvidia employee was showing the capabilities of Tegra2 and was running Skype video on an Acer a500... of course I can't find the video for the life of me.. but anyways how the hell did they get it to work and we can't?
I use Skype a lot and it really sucks the only use of the front camera is to take a blurry picture of my self..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsX_VQ-bzAs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Found it! Hmm it looks like its not running 3.0 but 2.2 or 2.3 still though.

Yeah that was 3 months ago and still no video Skype. And now that Microsoft owns them don't expect it before they release it for the new Winblows phones.

it's not skype, but google talk from tab to desktop, and i assume tab-tab works for video chat using front facing camera.

Then why does the nVidia guy constantly talk about Skype and their partnership with Skype while showing it off?

I this still an issue? Just got my A500, & it video skypes perfectly.

Uh, Skype video has been working just fine for me for a while now.

Skype video works great for me as well.. even tethered to my cell for internet..
I suggest you uninstall it then re-install.. If still no go And you are on a custom rom post in the rom devopers thread where you got it .If your stock consider resetting your tablet

[Q] Skype Front Facing Camera Hack?

The new Skype (2) was released today and has support for 4 phones with front facing cameras. I was wondering if it's possible for the Netflix hack to be applied to Skype... in at least a similar fashion? I'm not sure how the netflix hack worked to begin with (APK hack or Build.prop... still a noob to android guts). I'm also wondering if it only works on 2.3 because of the new camera api's...
Anyone else curious/interested? I don't know how to hack it but I am just curious.

I am both, curious and interested...

Sadly, a simple mod on the APK or build.prop won't be enough. That's the reason Qik has a dedicated video app for motorola atrix. It's an API/driver issue.

In android development theres one, check it out :-D(before complaing, its test version guys)

Cool, that was fast! I didn't see it, must have come up right before I posted.
Edit: Can't find the topic, got a link?

not entirely correct, with Gingerbread (2.3.3+) Google included a standard FFC driver which Moto has stated is compatible with the Atrix and should be used for any further development on GB platforms. on froyo, all carriers had to figure out FFC drivers on their own, but for GB it's standard.

it's in the main Android Apps forum, an SGS user modified theirs to work on the SGS, but on the Atrix it force-closes on sign-in.

It doesn't FC on sign in for me, it FC's when I try to do a video chat.

Sigh... and still no use for the front facing camera...

I know it isn't Skype. But Fring works pretty good between my and my sons Atrixs.
But I'd so much rather use Skype.

are you running froyo or gingerbread?

So are we saying that once Gingerbread is fully released for the Atrix that Skype will easily be able to add support in for the phone?

theoretically, yes. since all GB devices will be able to use a common FFC driver, it shouldn't be a problem. of course, nothing ever goes that smoothly or easily...

skype and all would be great, but id be more interested in getting the FFC to actually work... in the unofficial GB (or whatever u wanna call it) release the FFC doesnt work..

How about on the skype hack that just came out (look at android police) on 2.3.4

i've tried every variant of hacked app and none of them let me get past sign-in so far.

Are you guys talking about the official Skype app from market or the patched .47 version?

skype for android is crap, isn't it? i mean you need another app called stop skype to actually close skype (or dig in sh... äh i mean the settings to find the option to sign out)

You can also use Gemini app manager or another autorun manager to stop skype autorunning

man, is that so hard to see that there is a service always running on background? the purpose of Stop Skype is to stop all background processes, nothing more, nothing less...or you can force close the application, but it's not so handy.

Been waiting for this news. Thanks mate!!

the same with google talk, but because there is no icon in the notification area you are probably not aware of that

thanks to the guy that modded the old ver to allow me to use on my sgs2 the last few weeks. this means the market wont nag me to update skype though

Pff, latest version of skype crashes every few minutes on my phone
