Bin4ry quitted the forums although he wanted to crack the Bootloader but do you think we will make it whitout him? I feel like no but we will see
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
The developers here did enough without opening the bootloader, so my guess is everything is fine here ( most ROMs here are completed with camera fix ) what more do you want?
And quitted is not the word, he just went into another project.. another challenge
I think we should start another thread about whether to start another thread about this topic
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
for 2.2 froyo roms, they are basically completed
for 2.3 gingerbread ones, we just have to wait for the gingerbread update (official) so we can use the kernal and drivers available to make them stable.
I don't think our devices will make it to ice cream though..

I think Z,J and all great devs are able to port it... when it's released ^^
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
Mj what you said is true most roms are complete but there is still more things we can do for example 16 millions color thingy and the device is locked to 32 fps and i'd love to overclock my device and for some people facing the low in call volume issue a fix and all these would be done by unlocking the Bootloader.

i heard if someone updates to the new and official 2.3 it wil make it even harder to crack the bootloader me personaly i wont update to 2.3 beacause i can use other better roms such as cm7 and arc rom

That's the first I've heard of anything bootloader related to SE's 2.3.3. It might be possible to infer that but otherwise nothing is publicly known. *Maybe* rooting it might be more difficult.
2.3 kernel + CM7 mod >> 2.1 kernel + CM7 Mod
Just IMO (might be different but we won't know until July)
I think we should aware something:
1)Bin4ry doesn't crack the bootloader cause the cracking is...hell
What Tue devs do is to crash the normal booting procredures in order to run our custom kernel(the kexec method)
2)I still blieve that we can soon run custom kernel for daily use
Z is trying his best to do that,he had got the radio,overclockint etc,this will be released once the kernel is ready.
The leaving of Bin4ry is a kind of lost,but it doesn't mean it wont be possible to develop the custom kernel
Cheers,

Bin4ry is a beast, but don't forget about the other devs!! And Bin4ry says hes gonna stay if we donate $200 to him.
Lol hes gonna get more then that if he actually manage out that custom kernel! And this is sad he wants money for his work like most devs but if he really asked it like this "pay me 200$ and i will stay" its eww!

just want to make that clear.
Yea I realized that I made him look bad, but Bin4ry actually feels uncomfortable with the situation
My bad I worded that badly
It have been cracked by z!!!!!!! Omfg no kidding i saw a comment in the cm7 rom thread where it said z have made it + there was link of the thread omg!!!!

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 ...

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.

Just a thought that was in my head. The new official gingerbread rom should be coming out in august so I was wondering who is going to upgrade or stay on their custom rom.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Im sure people will stay on custom roms knowing they dont have to deal with bloatware apps and other useless nonsense that SE provides. Saying this i believe many files will be pulled from the generic 2.3 to be used in the ROMs.
No. Will stay with froyo
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes, just to try it out. I use a Custom ROM but there are many things that are broken sometimes, not supported, or flat out not working. Once the official 2.3 is out I am sure those guys will make their own custom ROMs much better.
LOLwat? After all the *****ing SE received, people better upgrade, otherwise they'll send a hitman to off you.
gingerbread
I sure will upgrade to 2.3 official
Will update right away when SE releases it.
I will update to officiell 2.3 and stay there because then i have everything i want
Sent from my Sony Ericsson Xperia™ phone
Gonna try it. Might as well keep it, but I guess I'll be expecting XDA developers to make it even better with tweaks and stuff.
If FPS cap raised to 60 --> upgrade. If not, I'm sticking with Froyo.

Yeah, you know it's okay, release Gingerbread when the Ice Cream Sandwich is right around the corner.
will give it a shot and try it for few hours... get bored, return to CM7 and wait for FreeXperia team to get camera fully working

Right, after making an ICS port to the wildfire and my darkforestROM, as well as three kernels and a few apps, xda haven't accepted my developer request.
Before I get the ranting it takes them long to do it, I put it in last week, and the backlog cant be that bad.
If they don't see me as a developer, then fine, but that doesn't mean everyone won't.
Probably because I have only been on this forum two weeks, but who should judge what time you have to wait to be a developer?

It is my understanding that there is a couple weeks lag time in the process, and they do them in batches. I wouldn't be surprised if the process were slowed a bit by the holiday season, as well. Just be patient.
I agree with everyone. You SHOULD be seen as a developer. Loving the tweaks app and the CDMA Kernel. Plus just all the help and feedback you have provided. You have been here two weeks but I have yet to see a thread that doesn't have your feedback in it. You have been very helpful to many here myself included, and I thank you for that. You will get recognition that I am sure of.

Seeing how you developed an app that i use on my phone i certainly would say so.

It's too bad, I totally agree with everyone and your tweaks and ROM have been amazing. You are one of those we can rely on for help. No matter what u are one of the best devs here.

I disagree, I believe you should be a member of the forums for 184 days before they even allow you to apply for dev status.
Pfft! KieranFTW don't even bother listening to Dudeness83 he doesn't recognize the skills. I agree you should have dev status you've brought us a sweet rom, kernel, and awesome tweaks all in a short period of time! And your fast to reply to any kind of problems that users run into

I understand that you're a bit miffed, but... Give it some time. The recognized developer thing implies that you're recognized by the XDA people too... And with two weeks, it may be a bit too soon. I am a forum moderator and previous admin, I know I can't assess people in a couple of Weeks.

The recognised developer system has nothing to do with if XDA considers you a compitant developer. It's more like a mark of achevement. Just keep going, keep working hard and you will get there. It takes time though. Look at the top devs like Leedroid, he has like 10 rom and kernel threads on the go at once.

This is a official ROM created by AnDrOpErZ TEAM. This rom uses ACS Syndicate Frozen 1.2 Tweaks, Such as status bar and a couple of performance tweaks by ACS.
More Bloatware has been removed and battery life has been slightly improved. Comes with a custom kernel and New Boot animation. This is our first ROM so show some love Android Lovers. LINKS will be up soon. Check out our blog for news and rom dowloads. This ROM IS DISCONTINUED BUT MAJOR CREDIT GOES TO MARCUSANT for creating the Acs Ics Rom which is wat we built off of.
Should be in development not in general no? I'm sure this will take off real quick with all those srf 1.2 fans =].

Hello Guys sorry for the late post. This rom is indeed an actual rom. We are a new user to XDA and accroding to them, We have to have at least 10 post before we can post in the Dev. Thread. Am i wrong.? I cant post the link on here because of the posting rules. This rom is built off of EI22, But we have tested on ECO5 and EB13 and it does work. We replace the link on our blog for you users having trouble finding the ROM section. We apologize for the Issues you may have. Check out our blog again and the link should be on the home page. Heads Up: It is a 4shared link and 4shared does require that you have an account. So please be mind of that. Thank You.
Explanation.!
And to all you guys keep asking why am i posting in the GENERAL thread. Its because i cannot post in the DEV. thread until i accomplish 8-10 post. We are new to XDA and are rookies when it comes to there guidelines and how there site RUNS. Just give us some time to gain knowledge of the site and i promise you, we will have everything on point.
Well sadly you all are 2 official OTA releases behind the curve and there is 1 leaked non-OTA release which is the most recent build.

We Know that. We've already researched the ACS Syndiacte Status Notes. But not all builds run properly on One's device. Actually some updates can screw up the phone. We built off the most stable update, And tweaked the performace, thats all. I know alot of people are looking for the next big thing. But there are some that are satisfied with what they have. This is only tweaks to what they have to make it run more smoothly. We are making ROMS now with the latest builds.
