Hello, everybody! I have a good news to us! We will have a twin brother!! Finally W8 has out at Indonesia now and to be a good news for all X8 too because we will have many or much new member! Also the user of custom ROM will up!! But, i get a (maybe) good news from this thread.. EDIT: and may it right...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133394
That say we're going to get a Gingerbread from SE. Not so bad.. Because, if the perfomance after the upgrade is GOOD, we must use it. If the update perfomance is BADD.. , we must use custom ROM.

Sorry.. it's brother (almost the timescape picture is girl..) but because the phone colour is black, so i make them gentleman. Maybe the timescape girl is their girlfriend haha..
Impossible. SE has already confirmed(twice) that X8 won't get gingerbread.
i've read a magazine that review SE W8 and they said SE will give the update (update or upgrade i don't know b'coz my english bad)
But, i've already said "MAYBE" haha.. keep loving our phone!! ROCK ON!! (??)
yeah..W8..i'm using a custom ROM kuyaDROID android 2.3 Gingerbread right now..everything works well with this phone..accept for the camera running with BGA quality only..but hey..who cares.. xD

Haha. yeah that's right.. Who cares VGA Camera? (But prefer use Froyobread first because GingerDX in dev haha)
Hey, W8 user.... Your phone is like our phone, so come here. Don't to be shy to visiting our xda group. Haha.. you're welcome
(GAME ON, not BGA but VGA)
Also thanks GAME ON, to not shy to visit our phone page. Haha..
Also, you just can oc your phone to 729??
I just check out the W8 details at Gsmarena... The details of W8 is exactly the same as X8...
Is there any difference between those 2 phones ? well other than that W8 is a walkman phone..
So will the custom ROMs still work the same on W8 ?
I feel like getting a X8.. but if W8 is the same... I might as well get the W8 as they have cool colour casings
Yess..... it is same with our phone.... no update .....
It is mostly the same, but here it says it supports wma.
@GAME ON:
Can you please upload the system.img from a nandroid backup from your W8, because I could use some parts of it.
Just upload it to shareplace.com or something.
W8 has a better sound output quality than x8?
Does W8 come with a non piece of **** pair of headphones?
I have a question, will the W8 be able to root and install custom ROM using the same stuff used on the X8 from this forum ?
I am scared if i get a W8... then i couldn't make use of the custom ROM here as it is meant for X8.
sorry if this is a noob question.
as this phone is my 1st Android smartphone.
and i just wanted to get thinks clear before i get a W8 or a X8
So if both of them are basically the same...
Which one will you guys choose ? X8 or W8 ?
SE said : X8 will not see upgrade to FB or GB
but maybe just an update
I won't buy either W8 or X8 because SE support SUCK!
Lucky we have geniuses dev here...

Two is same, they are twins.
But for W8, if you want to use X8 Custom ROM, you must flash your phone to X8. Of course with X10flashtool.
About sound quality, nothing improvement i think.
Never mind if youre noob, because yesterday i'm a noob too.!
w8 and x8 same hardware specifications only w8 has a name of walkman, its just like the x8. only difference is the walkman player. well anyone can download a music player on android market

I am a fool if I have hopes that Sony will update the W8 to 2.2 or 2.3 and thus we will also be able to port that update to our x8s?

FOUR POSSIBILITIES
If all of W8 had cypress, maybe Sony want to make an upgrade for W8 and we can port it!
Sony too lazy to upgrade their old style phone and leaving X8 and W8
X8 and W8 have upgrade
Because W8 is Walkman family, not Xperia 2011 family, looks like two is DIDNT GET ANY UPGRADE!
How Sony kill their customer? Too hurt! WITH SMALL SPECIFICATION, NOT DUAL TOUCH, LITTLE RAM, BAD CAMERA (BUT GOOD AT IT CLASS)! HUH.... NEVER BUY SE PRODUCT AGAIN. (BETTER BUY SAMSUNG HEHE..)

It's official, the X8 will not be getting any android updates whatsoever beyond 2.1

No idea, ask sony phaggyson, I guess they think cheap phones with great hardware that are more than capable of running 2.3 still wont get them good money even if they update it..
fkn companies, this thing is way better than the wildfire i can't get my head around why they don't wanna update it.
You're a bit late there.
You can use a custom ROM (for example the Racht's ones) to upgrade your OS Android to 2.2 or 2.3.

Custom ROM has some bugs so it is not fully FROYO and GINGERBREAD but it is in evolve so we will have good custom ROMs in future but BE PATIENT!

Phone with lower CPU can have froyo installed on it. X8 should be sufficient running froyo, either it cost lot of money to support X8 or SE think why should support 'old' series when they can make money from new one with upgrade OS.

I agree. This was my first smartphone, so I had no idea what I was getting; I just wanted a dirt cheap android phone I could mess around with. With all the mods, hacks, and especially racht's custom ROMs (I couldn't believe how crappy the stock ROM was compared to those) I've been able to experiment with, I have a much better idea of what I want out of my next android phone and what it will be capable of. As for SE, you're right: never again.
Agreed. I've just installed my first ROM (2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12) on my X8 and there is no way i am going back to the original!! Works great apart from a few setbacks like vibration not working, unable to move apps to SD and locks on its own sometimes while i'm using it. But having said that it's still much better than the stock OS!!
hey mister, where did you got the screen shoot? can you provide a link? why rather give a screen shot either than link?
if it is true, i will never by SE product anymore, i will rather choose I-Phone 4 either than xperia x8
Thinking of getting this.
using rcht's rom... its awesome!!!

If i remember correctly the 3gs should be better with cortex a8 vs arm11 and the much better GPU. But correct me if i am wrong.
We know it is impossible to port an iOS to our X8.. unfortunately 3GS software blocks the processor and it can't run on 800 mhz.. like X8.. just on 600 mhz.. but overclocking is enabled on both of the devices at a cost of battery and lifetime.. lets see an iphone4.. 3 times expensive and 2 times better.. we shouldn't talk about X8 and iPhone4 specs..

This entirely depends on your skills to port software and/or on your skills as a engineer.
The easiest method would be to rip the Apple A4/A5 CPU out of a damaged iPhone and then find a way to wire the CPU to the ARMv6 CPU contact pads - of course you first need to get rid of that pesky MSM7227 CPU that's just in the way.
Don't forget that you may need to adapt voltages and that you may need to find a way to connect the pins that are too much on the A4/5 to some other points on the motherboard.
Once you got the CPU up and running (let's say like ... NEVER?) you then need to port the boot ROM to work with the SEMC Delta board ... could be a little bit tricky to decompile the Apple Boot ROM.
As soon as you managed to boot the boot ROM you then only need to port iOS itself to the hardware of the X8 ... can't be that hard anymore if you managed to engineer the CPU into the Delta board and ported the Boot ROM.
If you can get it done don't hesitate to file a job application to the NASA.
</troll>
sorry to 'crash the party' but
why would you even want this?
If you really want ios then buy an iphone or ipod.
that will solve your problem.
To make it a full featured IOS port/remake then following what b.jay and i say might help (thanks for explaining about the A4/A5 CPU to them B.Jay, if i did the same post as you, no one would understand me apart from maybe you and maybe a handfull of devs/hackers would)
You can go ahead an port it if you wish, but redoing everything is such a pain.
plus making an A4/A5 chip/card/cpu specific software compatible with an ARMv6 processor good luck. but the most annoying part is
STARTING IT BASICALLY ALL OVER AGAIN .
I mean, you guys are trying to mod and theme it. but it all started out with a question:
can we run IOS on our X8.
Answer: No
I mean you can research how to port if you want to attempt. clicking here might help you with that
but it will take forever. Porting takes time and effort
PLUS: you need to port the hardware, wifi is also important because, nearly always the first bug that is reported is WIFI! so you wil need to fix that (although i think it is easy, and I could do that if you want )
then create the same theme/interface as IOS. same icons, same interface, just app store still uses android apps (unless you manage to port other 10000+ apps from apple app store). but you would need every system app icons (like for example: contacts, phone/call, messages/text etc) and have the UI the same. But even if you manage to get the CPU working (which would require at least 10 years of software engineering AND have made a ROM before (maybe even attempted/accomplished to port at least a gingerbread ROM). Soooo.....(lol)
It might happen some day, but it will take FOREVER to accomplish. Keep in mind about what B.Jay has posted above and what i have posted if you do attempt to do this.
HEY, before you even start thinking 'its worth a try' you should consider learning some java language. If you have never actually made an app before, then make at least 3 apps, so you can get used to making apps, if you dont know JAVA, you dont know how to make a ROM
If this post helped in anyway then press the thanks button
this post took ages to try and explain in a non technical way (i can make a technical one for people who might understand, it will make it easier for me to do) so you can understand
Cheers

As I've said before, if that rumor is true and the w15 will have simillar (same, except sound chip) hardware as x8 and if it will ship with gingerbread on it, S.E. will give us that update. It happened before with the X10 it will happen with the X8. Just keep in mind that's just a RUMOR.
I'm working on a 1-on-1 port for Xperia X10 from your phones. I want to make it really 100% the same. But just faster then yours
Just kiddin about the last part.
Tough i need some opinions from some Arc owners about it. Is looking the same as yours? What things you know about stock Arc rom. Bugs? Pro's Cons? etc.
Maybe my bugfixes can be used on your phones to.
Here is an image of the upcoming release (just one thing needs to be fixed then its released)

Hello Trip=)
On screens your ROM looks like our on 100% exept a black bg in "about phone" screen.=)))
It's have darkblue color.
This is just mine opinion about Arc stock rom:
1.I have obtain Xperia Arc about month ago, and till now i don't have any bugs or FC.
2.It's really very fast, smooth and stable.
3.It's very comfortable(for me) for customizing(folders, vidgets, etc.)
4.At this time it's have only one big minus: it's become very glitchy and stock dialer looks like **** when we changed LCD Density.

Isnt the Timescape Font bigger and the Settings with a Blue Background on your ARC.
Oops,yes, i look on my screen now, and see it's bigger(a little bit). But realy, Trip's font is better look=)
I think the "About Phone" Screenshot, the model number is different (shouldn't it be X10?) Lol.
Well, my big problem is the battery life. Some people complain that the battery draining is even worse when you have used the stock camera application, but for me no difference. Other than that, the phone is really smooth (I used X10 before) and just zips through no matter how you load it, with widgets and/or applications.
The timesscape font is lot bigger in Stock Arc phone. The playnow application is totally new one in Arc (though I don't use it, I'm sure it's completely different).
Maybe with upcoming screenshots we may be able to provide more different
Hope this helps.
Timescape widget IS black.. but yes.. that font's too small!
Camera - There's a problem with the HD video recording - voice and video gets out of sync.. if you've fixed that I'd be chuffed!
Can't zoom on camera for resolutions above 2Mpx
Can't zoom on video.
Have you got the 16m colours working on x10 (haven't checked in there since the start of april!!.. )
We're running on 2.3.3 rather than 2.3.2
no major problems really.. runs very well! but faster is always better..
oh and Trip - any chance you and the other devs over on X10 can help us out with creating a recovery method.. porting xrecovery seems the obvious one.. but a lot of people are talking about CWM too..
My daughters got the x10 now.. so if you can get this fully functional.. she'll be a happy girl!

That is nice. I am not even sure differences between the two version but 2.3.3 is due by the end of May and the version is a bit different.

You changed the battery icon and settings wallpaper, you could also do the same with the Android Version(which is very easy to do).
3.0.A.2.184 is not the 2.3.3 update, it's the 2.3.2 english version with the BBC player
This is the true 2.3.3:

One quick question: how did you made a transparent settings? :O
It is possible to change it on x10 or just in Arc?
figured this out.. apparently the google talk video implementation from modaco spoofs 2.3.3 to make it work... that's why it says 2.3.3..
Sent from The Arc!
---EDITED---
Sony has confirmed that we won't get Ice Cream Sandwich on our Xperia Plays:

Sorry for making you think we would get it... ​
This is great, thanks.
well it's missing from this sony page:

Sony never talk to each other (sections) and would not trust what is written in the Sony support/product site so would wait for an official press release first before jumping the gun. Maybe the dude above me has spotted something more revealing .
BTW love the video I wonder who that was made by hmmmm

I know that the r800x (Verizon) will likely not get the update but do you think people with the r800at (AT&T) will get it?

The Xperia ray and the Neo V has the same specs as the PLAY so theres no reason why the PLAY should not be getting ICS.
It will definitely get ICS and it's just a matter of time !

There it is for all those doubters !
Other same spec device's got the update because it works ok. From the look of how the games run on the beta i would say ICS would brake the gaming side of a gaming device which would be silly for Sony to release it.
I still reckon people should just flash to AOKP rom. Looks better than the standard Sony Ericsson UI anyway.
Something about the standard UI just looks to me, I dunno, plain.
I couldnt care less about games working on it. I just use mine for emulators anyway

OMG... I doesn't say Xperia Play... That's not good.
Additional info:
5. I have heard that ICS won't run as good as Gingerbread for XPlay. Is that true?

I can't help but think that maybe the XPlay-to-ICS thing would be like the x10-to-Gingerbread event. I never had the chance to play around with an Xperia x10 before, but last night I had to help my friend with his new x10. It was super snappy with its stock Froyo ROM, then lags were very evident and noticeable when I flashed the latest GB for the x10. I fear this will happen to Xperia PLAY.
I'm well informed about Sony warning 2011 Xperia phone owners around a month or two ago that the ICS coming to the portfolio might not be that fast and reiterated that their GB is very stable. Everyone wants a good upgrade, but again WHAT IF the fate of the x10 happens to our Xplays, too? God I don't want a laggy phone!
right now which is best custom ICS rom in the dev section ?
best in the field of stability and working touchpad.
thanks.

X10 never got an official froyo. It went from 1.6 to 2.1 to 2.3.
Not only that, but 2.3 on X10 was identical in performance to 2.1 (general consensus). Something must have been wrong with your buddies phone. When CM7 came to X10, it was (and still is) the fastest, smoothest and best ROM on the x10.
For the "The official info thread" you should probably spell it right

Well, I created this thread trully believeing we would get the ICS update.
Sorry to all I made to think it would happen.
And, thanks Sony, for making a gaming phone with such old hardware.
Xperia play Definitely my last sony and android phone. Bought this last december just for the ICS.
Will gift this to my bro and ill get iphone 4 or 4s. Good by sony and android.
