i am trying to get things straight in my head so am i right that at the moment we cant get CM7 roms becauce we dont have a recovery, and we dont have a recovery becauce of ???? kernel or bootloader????

CM7 is coming for the Neo, they're working on it. We already have a FreeXperia build, which is about the same as CM. We do have a recovery, we have kernels we can switch and the bootloader can be opened, so that isn't the problem. FreeXperia works fine, the only thing that doesn't work is the camera, and it doesn't look like the camera will be working anytime soon.
and is the hardware the same in the neo as in the arc except for the bigger display?? does it mean that i can use the arc roms or kernels for the neo?

The hardware is mostly the same, but you can not use the same ROM's or kernels. The Neo for example has a front-facing camera etc. Arc ROM's on the Neo will not work correctly.
Most dev's are happy to release a Neo version though, they only have to make few adjustments anyway.

which ROM is best?
FreeXperia is not a ROM. It's a team of devs who are working together.
rly? I know it, but this ROM doesn't have name...
This is a "FXP013a"- FXP - Free Xperia Project...
GingerDX is young and a little bug at the moment but doixanh will provide.
FXP for me
Dude! Again! FreeXperia is not a ROM. It's a team of devs who are working on different phones such as X10/mini, Arc, X8 and PLAY. Those devs are Z, B, J, G, Blagus, nobodyAtall and defer. The ROM you are talking about is just Jerpeleas ROM.
Thats what he meant.. FXP vs gingerDX. I think he didn't put a version cos both are being updated fast.
And an another thing:
J's rom is intended for development
In other words, he compiles libs for our phones instead of using SE ones.

Yeap. Not at all easy. I'd personally like to know which is faster but then again that also depends on the user. Both have so much potential..
DX has maby some trable.New version GingerDX 003 has bug with GPS.I tried now.It´s wrong.
I dont want to open new thread but i downloaded today newest freexperia rom but ss on info says it is version 10 instead 13à
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
GingerDX is faster, but FreeXperia is slower and not for fast daily use. FXP is just matter of time when it will be fastest ROM on Xperia X8 !
Pls try Froyobread v22b.
It is very stable to you. Fast and no lag after 2 days.
I used v23b after 1 day and it lags a lot. fall back to v22b and wait for v24
LOL i dont know
GingerDx
Haven't tried FreeXperia so cant really comment on that..
Been running GingerDx since release day, Running really smooth and fast had no real issues except for camera but not a real problem for me!!!
Dont plan on trying any other at the moment.
Cant wait for V004!!! Keep it up Doixanh!!!
Doixanh will try to make GingerDX, especially for camera, i hope so.

Dx rocks !
Definitely gingerdx v004
GingerDX has some bugs that i consider useful for me.So i will stay on GingerCruz
I have problem with GingerDX, the Linpack score is only 5 [email protected] Other 2.3 ROMS have 8,[email protected] What is the problem?
@ABu33 well I don't know. I have score ~8MFLOPS on GingerDX v004, maybe you should reinstall it, full wipe, ect.?
Firstly -pilot- I'm sorry for spamming buddy
I'm back and looking for ideas as always
I was thinking ICS , but we have amazing devs like zdzihu who will get everything done
Then cyanogenmod , but we have the fxp team
Then stock based , we have many roms and amazing devs like team , thjap and wolf break
Then miui , but there are many out there by oodie , robertberma , cobra to and a1exander
May be I'm not required any more ????
But still need ideas
I think u must join zdzihu in ICS rom
Yeah a stable fully working ICS would be very good. Zdzihu is abroad and have not enough tools and time there so any dev helping would speed up the Development alot. I think 4.0 is very good and we all should help with our knowledge to get it working.

I know ICS is amazing
But I don't quite have the knowledge to cook drivers etc.
I can't even download the android source code at the stupid Internet speed I have ...
All can do is mod
If I knew driver coding I would surely help him
I could try modding ICS
could i ask for a newer version of the Ginger Villain Rom? Your last version was excellent!

I haven't change the stock ROM, since it was released (I used to flash froyo and eclair roms once a week, now Kernels only).
Simply in my opinion, stock SE rom is finer than any MIUI or AOSP roms
Why don't you develop a new more advanced kernel for 2.3.7 - 4.0.1. Many believe that the 2.6.29 Kernel is holding things back.

Very pleased to see you back Spaarc buddy
Needing a little advice myself in terms of AOSP if you can help?
Anyway Goro is already Porting Xperia 2011 Kernel to x10
2.6.32.9 and has it booting so its kinda unnecessary at the minute
Maybe just make your AOSP perfect
The only thing missing from x10 right now is sense... I know you've tried it and its hard but there are ppl out there who have had it working on x8 sgs2 and other devices, maybe get some advice and give it another shot?? The amount of testers will be huge if you get it working mate

Weren't you & Doomlord working on Dual boot or something? That'd be cool
Hey Guys ever Since Custom Sony Beta and The Official ROM I experince these Issues:
Phone Is on But never Responds to Hardware Keys to wake Up.
I have to Re-flash ROMs Sometimes able to get in both Fastboot and Recovery.
Using Doom's Kernel Mostly or Other Custom ones.
What's Wrong?
Using CM7 Stock is the Only ROM that works for me.
Front Facing Camera is Dead.
any help
As far as I know (I could be wrong) but I dont think Doom has done much in the ways of ICS, so I don't think his Kernel is made with ICS in mind if that makes sense. maybe thats whats causing some of your issues, Cmod7 is a GB rom right? which is the only one that works? with dooms kernel? Like I said I could be wrong and if I am I'm sure someone wont hesitate to let me know it lol I'd recomend reverting to GB if you can, try the stock GB rom and see if that works with Doom's kernel.

DooM released a ICS kernel too.
Beta means not ready, Release Candidate means Not ready but almost, Stable means ready , If you want a stable ROM, Go to Stock.
Try the Darkforest ROM with DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel.

Best ICS Rom at the moment. Use the ICS kernel in the post instead of Doomkernel.
Also don't flash any CDMA stuff if on a GSM device

has development of this been stopped for the xperia x8? as every thread ive been able to find has a dead link or the version hasn't been update for a few month and still has massive bugs with it such as no camera and lots of other problems
There is nAa's MiniCM9 which is an ics, uploaded two weeks ago.Camera is the only issue, but it seems it has been solved and we wait for the update.
You must use nAa's ICS kernel if you want to use this.I recommend it, it's a good and smooth rom.

+1. The rom is stable fast and battery friendly, if you don't use the camera it's a good rom, wait for it to update, if you can't live without cam.
Updates are not as frequent, but miniCM itself is not fully complete, not to mention the x8 port.
can anybody give me a link to it as cant find it with a search
nevermind found it now

There's an ICS for stock kernel developed by DevStaffAndroid. You may try that.

Well since we are working on many JB roms for GSM/CDMA for better JB roms,i m in doubt what users think..so i m gonna keep this real simple:
do you prefer a multiboot kernel like:
lupusJB v8 480p
turbo kernel 3.1
or lupus JBv13?:cyclops:
this might give an idea to @wedgess or @DiKeJ when updating a new JB kernel with no 4.2.2 support.

in my opinion ... A no multiboot kernel would be better ..
would ensure more compatibility .. and less complicated for users notavos .. (Would save a lot of silly questions to answer) jejej ..
light a future release of a 4.2 kernel ... not so charged (without many Governors and other things) would be great ..
By the way @ smokerman .. going to be possible in a future kernel to 4.3?? and reach some stable rom? sorry if this is a dumb question on my part ..
Honestly I'd rather use a multiboot kernel like lupus v8 or turbo kernel. It's easier for testing Roms and seeing what you want to use and if you want different themed Roms much easier. The only reason I'm on lupus v13 is because I'm stuck on it lol
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
Honestly I prefer to have multiboot capability like turbo 3.1 jb ICS (cm9) ICS (stock) and GB its great. and easy to swap out Roms while on the move and you can't always flash a kernel just MHO
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
For testing it is really useful to have multiboot (even if we need a good sdcard to use it, with a class 4 sd it is unasable for example), but to keep the things simple IMHO is better to not have it
Sent from my Xperia Play using Tapatalk 4 Beta
@smokerman, on second thought, it would be better if multiboot kernel. But that is compatible with GB / ICS / JB (as Turbo kernel) .. or just GB / JB if possible .. then you could use (GB) rom gaming, and (JB) and cell rom .. hehe
In my case I prefer a non-multiboot kernel, because I think that the compatibility would be better and I also would like to be able to record in 720p. I can also understand people who wants a multiboot kernel, because is a useful thing, but as I don't use it to much I prefer it not to be multiboot

i find hard to have a fully 4.2.2 rom/kernel working for play (touchpads/gamepads included)..we simply dont have that many devs working here..they move on to other new xperia 2013 series..so we gonna be at 4.1.2 and its good as we have many roms with all features for our phone..(touchpads still lag on JB ,but i use 99%gamepads so for me its fine JB roms).
a dedicated kernel its always better for hard gamers..performance is the main reason..on JB i prefer multiboot..different partitions,other roms (GB,ICS,CM9) we have the top of the kernels..altough is highly recommended you have a class10 sd card..or else you gonna be hurting performance.:good:

if you have a core reason .. multiboot is much better. would be great if someone could solve even the touchpad error in GB (for turbo kernel 3.1) as usage in GB (PsPocket) and the gaming performance is much better .. but hey up to you developers that happen ..
Thanks for all your work for Xperia Play, and keep him alive a while longer ..
