Honeycomb dev is not on x8 again (HAKA)

but big jd is porting honeycomb to x8 (i think)

Well me and 2 developer's r making it from nothing just a clean 3.0 and we got it ok from android
X8 sold out what do you mean?
PS that developer is on a N1 now
super.sense on x8

Honeycomb would be nice on the x8
just for the interface.
BUT!
The lag from it would be a heartache its bad enough with abit of lag from 2.3 so imagine the lag for a ROM which was mainly used for 1GHz+ processors. So I think people would be best sticking to 2.3 with theme modifications to make it look like Honeycomb. Also IceCream is due out very soon so it would be a waste to start developing on a rom so laggy when the phone version will be out very soon which could probably run on your device smoothly/little lag.
Continue to do the port if you wish, Its obviously your decision, I am just giving my opinion
Good luck

NO BAD COMMENTS AT HC ROM THREAD (soon??)
Only report bugs

Regardless if what it is people are saying to you, you can do what you please, i personally believe it would be brilliant to have a honeycomb/ice cream rom for our phones being as there are so many froyo/gingerbread roms already out there, the people that are inboxing you are just making a poor attempt at being keyboard warriors being as theyre willing to try and flame you by inbox rather than do it in public, where i for one would be more than happy to put them in their place, its one of the things i especially enjoy and seem to have a talent in, so if you need me im here

im doing a course on programing for work with android and need 3 project and all 3 projects will be sent to my teachers who have made android there self so thay can make sure its safe and sound[one of the teachers help on making the ultimatedroid for the htc it like CM so i know there good at what thay do]as i have 2 old x8 phone got from ebay as my testers 1 for bootloader 1s for honeycomb and at the min i have honeycomb running for 6 hour on full battery and NO apk running ill bet uploading it when i can get it to a 12hour out of the battery with apks running i have 2g 2d wifi working and most of the normal apk working bar games
games are coming throw the rong size
As for system problems i need to move over to linux and i have never use linux ever so it will be slow at 1st but im a very fast learner when it come to pc iso's so i can inprove the rom that i make for 3d lag ect...
this is why i want to do sumthing new for the x8 owner as we had froyo fully working and now we have gingerbread
as most of yous know 4.0 ics[icecream] is coming and we dont have honeycomb yet ics is a mix of honeycomb and gingerbread and if we get a head start on honeycomb it may help us make ics or[icecream] or not but who knows as the release date has changed 5 time all ready as you can figer out ics is my last project im allso thinking about the bootloader as well.Becouse it will open a lot more stuff for us and make the developers a lot happyer as it will make there job a lot easyer im just trying to get us up with the big boy eg HTC and to help make are phone a good as the next new phone out there i do know that we are LIMITED to stuff we can do but sure i just want to push it to the max and showing SE what are wee x8 can do

3.0 on the x8 will be fun and not just that y not see how far the devs can get the x8 as se say we cant even have 2.2. And lets face it if we all stuck with wot we know works we would all still be on 2.1 so respect the dev's for wot they bring don't put them down. As how many post are there saying we wont have a smooth cm7 and yet now there's 5+ smooth cm7 roms with full cam.
i say do it then the haters can thank you if you can port smooth 3.0

This is just my opinion, but porting HC to the X8 is just a big waste of time.. Let's be real, 600mhz + 128Mb ram + 3" display..
But it's your time and you can do what you want
Anyway, judging from the fact you never touched linux, it will take a veeeery long time.
Good luck!

Stop wasting your time! HoneyComb is super slow!!!!!! We could only run it normaly with swap!

Hmm how about leaving alone this guy do his thing and wants. Shame on you know who, before when dev try to port gingerbread most of the comment that it wont run smoothly, stop wasting time blah blah blah, and now its fully working most just turned side and use the rom that once prejudge as impossible coz if ram cpu etc. Did anyone of you knows whats the meaning of DEVELOPMENT? We really wont know less we try. So if you will just post discouragement then shame on you, so what if we didnt have smooth and stable honeycomb the point is we tried rather than so just speculating on it. I wonder if Alba Edison stop his experiment about lamps coz so many people think his doing impossible and nonsense thing but look we got light all over the world. So who talks nonsense now?

I understand what you mean. I don't want to discourage anyone specially when they are learning. But that's the only reason i think he/she should try to port it, for learning/dev purposes, because it would not be good for a daily use.
I never rant or said anything about gingerbread port being a waste of time.. Sure it is heavier than froyo, but it's not very different from it and can be tweaked so it can be supported, like DX did.. and a fine job he did..
But HC is a completely different story, ask any dev you want if he/she thinks a port its feasible in any way other than learning/dev purposes.
And OP said he/she's still learning, and for the looks he's still in the beginning. Sure it would be a good challenge trying to do it and good way of learning (although not the best) but i think he could try other things, things that people could actually benefit from, even himself, like fixing bugs or even trying to crack the bootloader if he thinks he's up to it.
This is just my opinion, of course he can do whatever he wants. i'm just being realistic deedii.
Maybe an ice port would be more feasible, because it's not ONLY oriented to tablets, like HC is

why does the x10 suck so bad!??

Sorry about the Title. The phone doesnt "suck" it is currently not to my liking. How long will it take before we can get our own 2.1 up and running. i just updated to the r20 build and its not much of an update really. not sure how sony thought this could hold people off
just got my x10, and after using a nexus one on 2.2 a samsung galaxy S this thing feels ancient. games dont run well the ui is super laggy and theres just a lack of features on this thing, mostly cause its running android 1.6. Am i doomed or are there some fixes to speed up the ui. now running adw which has helped the homescreen but i hate how the lockscreen has white text and a white unlock bar
*biip* *biip* Post something different :-/ and reading before posting is a good habit
The x10 does not suck at all dont know what your talking bout. Try adw launcher but first read the forums and update your firmware to the latest r2ba023 or 24. also use the htc keyboard mod along with adw and then tell us what u think.

no but really, im not trying to offend anyone who has one, if this was the only android phone i've ever used i'd say jeez, this thing is great, but after comparing to a samsung galaxy S, which is lighting quick this thing just doesnt perform the way it should based on the hardware specs
Why do idiots keep posting flamebait?
hey, it's not the phone..it must be you.
Nice Cam, nice Screen, nice Apps.

I've used X10 & Desire but this is not the issue. There are hundreds threads about these kind of topics where people compare X10 with Galaxy , Desire etc. A lot of threads against X10 where people bashing X10. You should continue there
Isn't the reason kind of obvious? The X10 is running 1.6. Once the bootloader is hacked, you will be able to install Cyanogen, which should be snappy. Or you can wait for 2.1, which should come in a couple of months.
Stupid thread. Someone can close this?
i agree.
wee discussed this a few times already and the result was that the X10 is a great phone and it does not suck.
if you don't like it do not buy it.
if you did buy it, then sell it and buy something else but this thime take your time and choose something you realy like .
Those guys should go and read Desire/Legend/Galaxy topics and they will see those have problems too
why does the x10 suck so bad!??
It must just be yours or you, as I love mine.
This OP and thread are lame. Seriously, stop whining like a spoiled 12 year old.
@ op Sony Ericsson is always slow to make software updates. I have owned 2 SE phones before the X10 and they have awesome hardware but always software issues.
The 2.1 update should speed things up and allow you to do more than what 1.6 allows.

This is more the response i was looking for. I was more or less asking how to make it better, just in my own unique way. Have people been reporting on the progress of the bootloader. the phones got great hardware, i like the screen i like all the other things people like. i just dont like the garbage software sony's left us with, if it has all the same components as a nexus one why shouldn't it preform just as well. Doesnt sony feel some sort of obligation to its customers to put the best possible product out there
Why don't you root it and than remove all the SE stuff? I recommend Titanium backup, with a push of a button you can remove any software that you want. I did this and i'm verry happy with my android device!
I refuse to believe when people saying that x10 its SLOW!
Jesus guys the phone running like hell.
Just free up some memory and remove some useless apps that autorun .

It is really annoying when threads with titles like that appear on a device-dedicated forum.
Why the X10 sucks so bad?
I blame global warming!
You should start threads with valid questions.
Define what you mean by "suck".
The phone is fast, unless you need a phone that can read your mind...
"Oh, I should send an sms to my friend... Ooops! Message sent! Thank you Super Phone!"
The 2.1 update should give us more, rooting already gave us more control over it.
So, let's stop being whiny for a moment and just live a little.

terribly sorry did not mean to come here and bash your phones. i meant it in a joking fashion didnt know people held their x10s so close to their hearts. but the issue is there is no update in sight. carriers havent announced any future updates and sony doesnt seem to be doing much either. Are there any custom firmwares yet that run a bit faster and change things like home unlock screen or different media player

the latest firmware is out, and you should be able to update through Sony Ericsson Update Service or PC Companion. Just go to the SE website and download software. Follow the instruction and update it, and you will see a big difference. Also Android 2.1 is coming for upgrade throught SE in Q3 or Q4, depending on the market region.
It is a good phone and you will love it once you got the update! cheers!

[RANT] Epic phone not so epic

*RANT ALERT*
Ok. This makes me furious.
Cyanogenmod Hauwei Ascend
It's a 600 mhz processor. By a no-named manufacturer. WHAT THE H#*&??
Cyanogenmod can run on this android 2.1-flaunting pos and we can't have it? My bestfriends super crappy phone makes my phone look like crap because of the os. The Epic's got the hardware, but no software to match. Don't get me wrong, the devs here have worked MIRACLES on this phone. And the only thing holding me back from pawning whatever I can find for an evo is the amazing roms (frankenstein and anonymous, im looking at you) and the superbly friendly and miracle-working devs (Rodderik, ecooce, computerkid23, MysteryEmotionz, k0nane, chris41g, asdfghjkl, DRockstar, TexasEpic4G, qbking77, flimsy888, forgive me if I left you out).
Guess I'm just jealous that such a beast of a phone can't compare to such a pos of a phone.
*RANT OVER*
It shipped with AOSP android so it wasn't too much of a stretch to port Cyanogenmod onto it. One of the hardest parts of porting CM is getting an AOSP kernel that boots (part of what took the EPIC so long to reach where it is now).
I have CM7 on my Nook Color. It is nice but it's not a game changer, and stuff broke in some nightlies. Having working Netflix would be great but Epic screen is too small vs a tablet. ACS does it for me just fine, and whenever CM7, GB, AOSP makes its way to us it will make an already great phone better - but only that much.
Seriously? Even in stock form, the Epic still kicks ass. Tell me if CM can play ALL the codecs the Epic does? How about the performance of the camera? The Samsung camera is really pretty good. Can that phone play games made for the Tegra 2? I know the Epic can. CM would be great, but it's not the end all, be all. From a performance standpoint, CM is fast, but even it's missing some things that the Epic already has built in.
Oh trust me, I know. It's amazing even stock. But its like a car, you want the better parts for the best performance. And that amazing brand new engine won't fit in our car (idk alot about cars). It's also one of those "we do it because we can" things. It's a slap in the face to see it on these type of phones and not our epic.
At this point CM is very over-hyped. Would it be nice to have? Yes. Is it going to make the phone suck if we don't get it? No. The way people are making it out to be is like this will completely transform the phone.
I suspect when the Epic finally does get CM we will finally be done with the "where is CM?!" threads and flooded with the "this is it?!" threads.
It's not just Cyanogenmod. Its also MIUI and plain old AOSP. The epic is pretty amazing, but being able to say I can't run CM7 or MIUI makes me think twice about it actually being an evo-killer.
Personally, I will continue to run touchwiz roms even after cyanogen. Unless cm can make a serious enough difference in my battery stats to warrant removing tw and its features(which I find very useful).
cd's or tapes?

Maybe CM7 isn't so different from what we use now but I just put MIUI on my sister's vibrant and believe me it's a BIG deal.
In a perfect world, I would have the newest official MIUI on my Epic with Wimax support both on my phone and actually available in my area. I hope some day to get to see a couple of those.
Official Gingerbread Kernel source needs to drop now.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE RAN CM7, because let me tell you I miss it greatly from my Evo, LOVE LOVE LOVE my Epic but seriously CM7 is where its at...Yes I like caps.
I'm intrigued by what I hear about CM7, but MIUI does not get my attention one bit. If I wanted my phone to look and act like an iPhone I probably would have bought an iPhone (and then promptly turned my man card in and spent the rest of my days settling for whatever the turtleneck told me was the best).
That being said, I don't care that these aren't available for the Epic. SRF is super fast and I haven't found any bugs to date. I get less FC's on my phone now than I did with the stock phone.
where to begin? cm is nice and having the option is nicer. but seriously its not some awe inspiring monolith of human achievement. the reason why cm7 looks so great on htc devices is because they need the speedup over sense.
as for miui, i too have taken great pleasure in bashing it, but recently i gave it a whirl and i have to say i am VERY impressed. the features present in that rom i hope someday make it into cm7. the customization you can do with such ease is amazing. the music app even blows away googles newest one.. (i mean cmon who doesnt like auto lyric lookups? ) contact management is a breeze and even syncs properly with facebook (something i cant get cm7 to do). alas the current version of miui lacks 4g and has a call bug where the call is muted (version 1.7.8) for the nexus s 4g. so im back to cm7 for now, til dreamsforgotten ports those lockscreen mods

I think there's more to life than software and operating systems. I'm very satisfied with what the devs have come up with for the Epic. The phone is fast, user-friendly, and easy on the battery. My buddy, who has an Evo, wishes he had my camera and super AMOLED. We're both stormchasers and are too cheap to buy real cameras. Mine takes noticeably better pictures on all settings. I guess it depends on what is important to you.
these types of posts make me furious.
These devs aren't going to waste their time building from scratch what they'll be able to piece together with a source release.
CyanogenMod is great and all, but try some other roms before you get all crazy angry. Do some research!
I am running my epic with SyndicateRomFrozen and the Genocide Kernel. I'm getting quadrant scores through the roof, and my Epic is a dream phone now.
CM7 will get to us. Until then, do something. Research. Flash. Experiment. Stop flaming start being proactive.
My display, camera, and audio quality trump anything that CM7 or MIUI brings that would make me want to switch to another Sprint phone right now.

No thanks, just say no to SENSE you know it makes sense
While I like sense as much as the next Guy, you have to understand that with the fast pace that mobile tech is advancing your phone you bought 4 months ago might not have the needed hardware to run said app. Sure they could release it but then you would be like "it is laggy, its slows my phone to a crawl". Not taking into consideration that the app was made for better hardware. Never buy a phone based on updates you hope to get. You will never be happy. As I see more and more new to the smartphone world I see this same thing alot. It is something the older users are use to. Your phone is obsolete five min before you buy it. So make sure it fits your needs for the time being.
Although i'm running sense 3 on my DHD I have signed it, HTC should of done this really, the DHD is still fairly new

Absolutely! You should be happy with what you get instead of sad because of stuff you dont get A wise man once told that.
But 1 year of update service is not too much to ask and the DesireHD is perfectly capable of running Sense3.0 smoothly. Custom Roms prove that. I'm pretty sure though that Sense 3 will come eventually and i better wait a little longer for a bug free and stable release than something rushed just because everyone is crying for it.
Should "of", "potention"? I'm a little worried you guys even spelled your own name correctly.

i used to have x10,and for god sake sony ericsson was awful in supporting,we had android 1.6 when most other ware running foryo,
i know now it will release gb but after a year of delaying ....

where did everybody go?!

what happenedto this phone i know it is possibly the slowest most low end phone sprint carries but thats why we have development threads like this to make it better or at least usable for every day use i say we go out with a bang and do one final intercept project come on devs i know you want to form a team and pump the most power biggest performance monster rom for the intercept yet and hb we give overclocking another try i hink 1000 wud be more stable than 1066. edit: boy oh boy do i feel stupid i forgot ll about sdx developers haha sorry guys
it a pain to deal with, the graphics need work, but the full keyboard really does it, development hasn't stopped, it just got younger,
I, personally am excited about the cm7 development, it seems that this phone, being easily accessible to most, still has a lot of untapped potential. Plus, I have friends wanting to get into the community but they're waiting for something juicy to release for their poor Intercepts.

Anyone else notice that development for the A500/A501 sucks?

I'm just sayin..... I'm not trying to start anything its just that every time I come on to XDA theres never really a new topic for the Acer A50-
I have an EVO 4g and theres always new topics and development and I have had other HTC phones and been here for a frew years now
With no bootloader access (except for It's Magic), No drivers, and slow support from manufacture and otherwise.
I have a feeling that this tablet is out to lunch and soon out to pasture.
What do you think?
Sent from my Acer Iconia A500 using xda premium
I also own an A500 and a HTC EVO 4G. Although I do understand a bit where you're coming from, I think it's mostly a difference between a phone and a tablet forum.
I also think it's a difference in quantity versus quality. We have some very nice, stable ROMs for the A500 where everything works. For most EVO ROM announcement threads, I just disregard them after reading the OP and seeing that 4G doesn't work, GPS has problems, MMS has problems, landscape Rosie doesn't work, etc. Plus quite a few of those EVO "ROMs" are just tweaked versions of earlier released ROMs that are heavily themed.
Also, I think the A500 community here on XDA is a little guilty of running off quite a few of our devs by being ungrateful, overly demanding, etc. Compound that with some devs having a little bit of an attitude, and I think we're lucky to have the devs that we still do.
Although I almost immediately wanted to root/ROM my EVO 4G, I was perfectly happy with stock root on my A500, and that's basically what I'm running now. I flashed ezterry's 3.2.1 ROM, tweaked it a little myself, threw ADW Launcher EX at it with a nice theme, and I'm a happy camper patiently waiting for Acer to release ICS.
There is a big difference between phone ownership and tablet ownership. I would have to guess its something like 10,000 android phone owners to every 1 android tablet owner. And the Evo 4g was the flagship of Android phone for a long time. I too owned the Evo 4g and my wife still has one. I moved on to the Evo 3d and love it. I agree, it would be nice to see some excitement in these forums but when I use my tablet I want it to work and work right. I switched back to a rooted stock rom because almost all of the roms I found were really just themes and had removed apps that I like. The roms that are highly customized like thors or flexstriker always have glitches or changed to much. I'll run stock until ICS drops and then I hope some more exciting developing will be going on. My work just purchased me an Ipad 2 and I have played with it for a few days now. I'll have to say, the Ipad will be used for work, but when I want to play I'll be reaching for my A500.
You know what I hated about all the roms for the evo, it was all the badly themed roms with the same tweaks.

Exactly. Lately, we've had a new kernel released, along with a new recovery by Dres. And a couple of the newer released roms (3.2.1) @Civato and myself and a couple of others. So I wouldn't say that development has ceased. I would say, that Dev's and Modders have pushed HC about as far as it can go.
And yes, some people like to use the forum for their own battle ground. They know who they are. This isn't a backwoods chat room, but some people just like to start scandals.
But I am sure most people appreciate the work that is done. If you want to know how much work is put into things, get a stock rom, and try doing it.

I'm just sayin..... I'm not trying to start anything its just that every time I come on to XDA theres never really a new topic for the Acer A50-
I have an EVO 4g and theres always new topics and development and I have had other HTC phones and been here for a frew years now
With no bootloader access (except for It's Magic), No drivers, and slow support from manufacture and otherwise.
I have a feeling that this tablet is out to lunch and soon out to pasture.
What do you think?

It's easy to complain and say that there's nothing going on when you're not even giving any suggestions. I mean, more-or-less all the interesting things have already been tried and done, and the next thing to do would be to fundamentally alter how Honeycomb works. And that is simply a very big task to undertake.
Of course we could also go the same route as people like to go on other devices, ie. release a gazillion different ROMs where the only difference is in theming and color scheme. But that isn't development.
So go ahead and make some suggestions or wishes about what you'd want to see. Also keep in mind that HC is HC and many of us are satisfied with it as it is. Like e.g. I really have only one or two things to improve on that would even be possible with HC, everything else I want would require a whole new OS altogether. And as that ain't possible I really have no reason to develop for A500 at all, I simply don't view releasing yet another HC ROM that fixes the two minor nibbles I have with it as being worth my (or anyone else's) time.

Well, if you're referring to ICS then I have to say that even ICS doesn't address the fundamental issues I have with the whole Android platform. Of course it is a step up from HC, I'm not denying that, but even ICS is plenty rough around the corners and patched up with Mickey Mouse - plasters and chewing gum.

As much as I like Android, this is what you get when you get a search company writing an OS instead of a company that's been making OS's for 20+ years...
Bells and whistles are great, but not if your core functionality is farked.

On the whole, I don't think you have the right to complain. The devs are nice enough to share what they do. If you don't like it then make your own rom...
Waiting to see what you can come up with....

This i totally agree with . All of the tools are open and free to all. Thousands of internet sites books and other media to help.. Not to mention the new mobile development center at MIT...
TO Bad im a Blonde from Kentucky.. Boohooooo i just have to wait and hope .

Oh, we should post a sign. "Don't feed the Trolls".
Noticed how the OP edited his post, to include the 501 after I posted a simple response.
Some people, just show absolutely no appreciation to the hard work people do. We do it, so others can enjoy it.
Is it a sense of accomplishment, yeah, it is. Especially when it works for 95% of the users.
I'm no Dev. I'm a "fry cook". But I understand what Devs go through. Been there, did that.
Some people, will never be satisfied, no matter what you do. It's a pity.
Ought to kill this thread, as really, as the OP showed, it's an insult to all dev's and Modders.
And people wonder why the devs and modders leave xda. Just look at the title that was posted.
The best thing, is to ignore such posts, from such people, as they are just designed to get people into a pissing war, while they sit back and get amusement.
No way!
Without the efforts of many developers we wouldn't have the following:
USB 3G support for the A500
Eye candy boot animations and themes
Lean operating environment by removing uneccesary startup software
Improved GPS response
Improved kernels for stable overclocking
As far as I'm concerned, the Dev contributers are doing a splendid job.
HTC Desire
ROM: MIUI-XJ v2.2.10 (D2EXT X-PART)
Recovery: 4EXT Classic
Acer Iconia A500
ROM: civato-FLEXSTRIKER-R9.5

No disrespect but your the only one I really see running around here *****ing and complaining. Seriously tge thread is going in the direction it was meant. Im not hassling devs thier talents are amazing in this place. Ive been here for years. Um just not real happy with my product even in the capable hands here. Thats all.
P.S. I did want to come back and update this post for you. Like Ibsaid I have been here for years. I remeber when xda was a lot different when people just ignored stupid comments and there wasnt all this he said she said tolling fad crap adults were adults and children were children. But oh how the waters have muddied even for a few who cook and code. Not all but as the new popular xda saying goes: "you know who you are" ;-)

1. The tools aren't all open. They simply aren't. Remember the thor fiasco?
2. No one cares if you're a blonde from Kentucky. Posting about waiting & hoping will do nothing for anyone.

If you're going to complain about stuff not being done, learn to program, and do it yourself.

Drop the elitist attitude.
Not everyone has the qualities needed to make a programmer, just as not everyone has the qualities to become a successful artist; some people simply are better wired for it than others. Not to mention actual real-life issues.

True, but if you are going to make a thread titled "development for my tablet sucks", you should be ready to ****ing drop some command line ninja skills.
It seems like the op was meaning to say "development seems to have stalled", but inflammatory language is inflammatory...
(ps, I am all sorts of drunk (woot woot switfkey autocorrection) and the useless bickering of the A500 forums makes me an angry drunk)

Heh. Mind if I join you? Got a bottle of vodka and I'm bored out of my skull, getting drunk sounds like a rather good idea!
