[Q] For Cookers: Update on Gingerbread for Xperia - XPERIA X8 General

According to this
update-on-gingerbread-for-xperia-x10
X8 has no future. Is any possibility to customize X10 ROM for our `lovely` X8?
Thanks.
For Admin: I don't know how to delete the same thread from `XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps` SubForum.
Sorry.

why should somebody "customize x10 rom", when we have almost fully working 2.3 roms ???

Because (maybe, I don't know) a skilled person (a `cooker`) can change your word `almost` with the word `already` when X10 2.3.3 will be available...

Perhaps they can fix our phone's camera app using the X10 Android 2.3.

No, they can't.
X10 has a different hardware from X8 and different architecture

the truth hurts.

Now AnDyX's fingers are playing with camera drivers !!!! may be within a short time he will gift us with a driver which support camera in 2.3+ OS....Now I am having hope for camera in 2.3....

I think that 2d libs are more important

[Q] Xperia Arc Gingerbread

My question is simple: Is it possible to port the xperia arc's 2.3.1 to our X8? At the X10 section TripNRaVeR managed to port it to the X10.

Why not? I think a lot of ppl would be pleased, and honestly, it looks good, better than the Cyanogen versions. I like sony's menu style.
yeah but it won't be as good in performance, and it would take months to optimize it

Agreed.
It doesn't make sanse... X10 is much more similiar to Arc than our X8 is. (Talkin' about processor, screen res., RAM...)
So stop complaing. We have racht's gingerbread and it's awesome, yea I know camera is disabled, but ROM is doing the job very very well... and I hope camera will be fixed soon. It should be fixed. It WILL be fixed

Good news:google will make us 2.2 not sony

seems like someone can't really understand what is he reading. we're not getting the update, and it's not about google giving update, it's about google forcing these companies to update their phones. but only NEW PHONES (read that text carefully, it's written down there), phones that have been just released, and phones that will be released in future. it's not working backwards, older phones ain't getting upgrades. sorry to turn your dreams into a dust. just a little advice - read the whole text, not just the heading, before you start a thread like this - you made ppl excited for no reason. now i have to make their joy go away

+1 it also mentioned that they will get updates if hardware is capable, se have already said x8 wont be updated due to insufficient hardware on x8 personally I don't agree but hey what se says goes regarding hardware they manufactured. It really is a shame.
Thank God for racht, ponnovan, jerpela, dioxanh etc etc they make x8 worth buying XD

Somewhere else writes old phones too and dont forget that sony thinks it will slow diwn our phones not that is hardware not supported and that does not make sense because 2.2 is lighter rom than 2.1
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
then "somewhere else" is wrong. and of course, se is talking bull****, but that has nothing to do with it.
anyway, i'm happy with custom roms from our devs, so it's fine.

Like I said before se have said many times before x8 will not get froyo EVER at the end of the day not us not Google not anyone can make se update x8 to newer versions of android deal with it. X8 is still a great phone with minicm etc etc
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
come on all send email to google and others
if we can't update our phone can undo and denigrate the f**ckin SE instead ;
I'm happy with custom roms, cuz everything works fine. We don't need SE to update it
X8 is excellent phone.
And, to substantiate my statement as soon as our devs crack bootloader and fully working Gingerbread is made this phone will get even better. Worth waitng.
Times are tough and a lot of us just can't affort better phone.
P.S.: @as-mario you're troller... read twice before you post... think before you blink!
I have already sent several messages to SE Brazil and the answer is always the same:
"The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 will not be updated because it does not meet the requisites of Android 2.3" - or nearly so, but always the same direction of response -> A short NO!
Perhaps with support from Google the story will change, because only the X10 received the upgrade to 2.3 from Sony Ericsson and many users still use their custom ROMS ...

Me too....few bugs in many cases, but smoothless !
We should sent emails to GooGle android center about our problem. Google can force SE to update our phone. We can make petition to google. We can make petition at least for unlocking bootloader.
Who don't think it's a great idea?

Hi,
I don't want to start another topic, so I will ask there, hope you wouldn't mind.
I don't know much about mobile devices hardware, but would it be possible to change some hardware parts, if there was a custom kernel? Like having an x10 mini camera in our devices?
I ask, just to learn something, it's not like I'm trying to create a frankenstein monster from two phones, thanks.

even if you could change certain hardware aspects you have the problem of incompatable software, and unless your a dev or you get a dev to rewrite a rom you would just end up with a brick. Best of luck if you do decide to try hardware modding.
Thanks guys, as I said, I'm not gonna mod hardware of my phone, it was just hypothetical question.

Born to be multi touch..

Its weird!!
Me and my friend have both x8, I rooted them, installed xrecovery, and then installed gingerdx v19.
But I guess there's no multi touch support for both phone..
I decided to install gingerxperia also for both phone..
Now in gingerxperia my phone supported real multi touch, while my friend's phone supported it but its like fake and its not working right.
(Both phones still locked bootloader, stock kernels and the same everything!)
Whyy??
Some people said its because the screen type(cypress or synaptic).
Oh cmon I understand that when Sony Ericsson makes a phone they put a (cypress or synaptic) and the rest is your luck when you buy the phone that you get a cypress or synaptic??!!!
Or am I wrong with that?
And is there anyway to support the other phone with multi touch?
Why didn't gingerdx support any phone with multi touch?
Everything accepted.. and thxx )

dude it's just ur luck...i have cypress but there's some dude here who put a tutorial for replacing the synaptic chip...either ways u must have the hardware..
and one more thing,,if u can manage to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel...for ex: i have gdx 20 with alfsv5 and it's smooth as ****...lol....and custom kernels have the fake or real multutouch mods merged in them...

You should have flashed adons for stock kernel for GINGERDX!
That's gives you pinch to zoom etc...

Its true, since gingerdx was getting stuffy and lots of files doixanh needed to put them in a different file to save space. Oh by the way, I have cypress but for synaptics users its tough luck
