Android 4.0 ROM? - XPERIA X8 General

Can we dream of such a ROM?
Or did it turn out to be too much hardware dependent/too much broken features if ported etc..?
Also, will the USB accessories support will enable the use of an app that will let me use my X8 as a secondary USB monitor?

x8 can run ics!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362557

Correct if I am wrong, but doesn't the x8 has a single CPU with no GPU and that means it doesn't do hardware acceleration?
I think the lag issue with the UI would be a dead end.

x8 has got a gpu, it has adreno 200 if i'm not wrong

The X8 GPU is Adreno 200.
As you can see here: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x8-3403.php

Its 200 Adreno.. Stop bringing disinformation dude... defcon.

Not near the same.hero hac crappy ardeno 130,much worse than x8.but hero has a bit more ram,and thats all.x8 will run ics smoother.

just wait
no matter that,dont be negative,we re running gingerbread and we should not,so,let the developers works as necesary they need,im wait a bit,remember,were talking about linux based,so,is light to can port it too,dont worry,be happy,and just wait bro,you will see what im talking about in a few days,cheers

3D driver optimisations

Hello every genius !!
Can someone add 3D driver optimisations in their fabulous kernel / rom like cyanogen mod7?
In cyanogen mod we can notice a real boost performance in 3d applications. So why not include the cyanogen 3d driver in next rom or kernel ?
Thank you all !

I'll quote my post from another topic
Guys, look at that:
http://glbenchmark.com/subtest_results_of_device.jsp?D=Google+Nexus+S&id=405
There are 12 tests of Nexus S in GLBenchmark, and 11 of them are below 2400 points (more or less like our SGS), but the most recent one (uploaded at 2011.02.11) scored 3025 points, more than Tegra 2. This result's is made by someone from GLBenchmark, and shows at "GLBenchmark team tested" page of the results. How is that possible?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, according to this benchmark, the performance of Nexus S'ses SGX540 increased dramatically somehow. And according to this article,
LG's software build also uses a newer version of Imagination Technologies' driver (1.6 instead of 1.5)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, maybe, in the latest update (2.3.2, or whatever) Nexus S got this new 1.6 GPU driver with increased up to 30% performance?
Now this is getting interesting!
any more info about this ?
fake?
I think ots a fake or it was a special rom, i use darys rom with voodoo and have 2537
But wich driver the Cyanogen team use in their cyanogen mod7 ?
Their 3d driver score in quadrant pro is very impresive, nearly 30 to 40% more than stock froyo 2.2 rom.
I will try to ask the cyanogen team.
Kepp in touch
// oh your right
Well.. This really looks interesting.
Now this is interesting
Looking forward to this
Surprised someone with a little more knowledge hasn't commented on this yet. Hopefully we'll have an answer soon
In the meantime -> report here if the sources (I mean precompiled module, which will be inside the package) are online

What is your quadrant GPU score in CM? On JS5 2.2.1 i have 2d:293; 3d:879. Are CM scores really better?
SGX540 is much better GPU than the one used in Tegra 2.
So I guess these results are caused by the newer driver version (1.6) released by IT.
with mitra rom i have these score on quadran advanced:
overclocked to 1.3ghz (on set cpu min and max @1.3)
total score 3702
at stock 1ghz (on set cpu min and max @1ghz)
total score 2865
good score for me with this rom.
i thing that the driver are updated...

REQUEST: Would someone please port Sense 3.0 from Desire Forums?

Isnt it now our turn?
that's not desire hd rom from htc....
it's sensation rom ported to desire hd and as you can see the dev said it's full of bugs right now.
it's alpha rom.
I'm working on a port for myself, there's a lot of development going on in those forums , but I'm sure this thread should NOT be here.
I think it realy shoud be porterd since i cant or shoud i say dont know how and htc dezire z is inferiror compared to our hd2
I agree
yeah same here guys whoever will be able to port this rom to the hd2 will be godly.. i put my money on imilka and mdj to be the first ones. Its not fair since the Desire HD's hardware is the same as the HD 2 BUT DIFFERENT OS and the deire hd gets it instead of us. Honestly i would trade CM7 and MIUI for that

Desire HD is indeed a lilte more powerfull but not worth to get one if you have a hd2 the cpu is the same just a litle faster since its new gen snapdragon and ha 256mb more ram but dezire z is inferior but still got a sense 3 port like desire HD

Desire Z and Desire HD both beat the floor with our HD2, in terms of processor. It doesn't matter the clock speed, Desire Z at 800Mhz beats our HD2 at 998MHz. So, no it's not inferior

metko, please do some research before posting BS like this - DZ is using scorpion core (second gen. snapdragon) running at 800MHz that IS way faster than first gen. snapdragon, even at 1GHz. Furthermore, both DHD and DZ have ardeno 205 gpu that is way faster than ardeno 200 present in first gen. snapdragons (like in HD2), so both devices have hardware that is superior to HD2.
...but we have the best devs here =P

Actually, porting is not that hard, but resolving the problems that appear after you port the ROM is another thing... I was gonna work on a personal port, but they seem to be making a lot of development over at the desire forums, so it's not worth porting until they're finished with it. Plus, tomorrow's Mother's Day, i need to do some shopping x)
Btw, you're right, this thread should be deleted ASAP
come on guys, please grow up! dont get into this bs fighting match about which hardware is better. take that to the general forum. all the first poster was requesting was that he'd like to see something like the new desire hd RCMix HD KINGDOM v0.1 Evolutionary Sense! REAL SENSE 3.0 to be brought over to the HD2. i'm sure devs are already working on it & i just can't wait till it arrives!!!
Anyways, I'm porting it and it's running through logcat right now. Looks promising, but no guarantees.
OC or not it is our kernel !

Chainfire3D on Optimus One

The Optimus One has the adreno 200 GPU which supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and meets the requirements for Chainfire3D. I have it running on my Optimus T with 2.2 and haven't noticed anything different when configuring the default settings. Nightmode works, but that's just about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
Warning: This replaces (from my understanding of the thread) an existing driver with a new one. It requires root.
I would like to hear back experiences from others who have an Optimus one and tried Chainfire3D.
It also requires a 1 ghz+ cpu. Try running a tegra game to see if it works. Don't know if they will even start... HDPI res required.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
Tegra Zone doesn't render properly in HVGA but the screen resolution is not entirely the problem. Installing a game from it crashes the device, probably because it was never made to work with ARM11 chipsets.
Maybe it is/will be useful for something we don't know yet.

Problem with Chainfire
I am using an Optimus one Myself and attempted installing this but not only did it fail to install I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now it won't even open upthe app to allow the attempt of the installation of the codec. (basically I attempt to launch it, it fails goes back to menu, this first happened when I was able to launch the program and attempt to install the codec) Now my best guess if I had any is It's incorrect ROM or something. I'm not entirely sure I'm still getting used to this phone. Already rooted it and broken once thus fixing/reflashing. So I've learned a few things. But if someone better then me and I'm sure there are lots of you here could just point me in the right direction I'd be very happy person indeed. Also, If I'm posting in the wrong section I apologize I really suck at this forum thing.
Another odd thing I noticed, I was only able to oc to 600mhz when I've heard I could oc it to 1000mghz. Is this something to do with my rom?

Overclocking to 1ghz is not possible with optimus one...maximum stable clock speed is 806mhz...it seems u r on stock with root...in that u cannot oc to more than 600mhz...
use any other custom kernel...or simply use any other ROM...

I can run 864MHz on my phone and combined with the correct settings on chainfire 3d u can definitely notice a difference in gaming performance
Would the fact that Chainfire 3d is now not even booting also have something to with the fact that I'm running a stock ROM and cannot overclock passed 600?

I'm going to try out this talho rom and hope for the best.
I figured it all out. simple reading errors on my part as it were going through tutorials and whatnot. either way I got chainfire working just working on download GTa3 to see how it performs.
It worked for me a while ago on CM7 and oxygen, it doesn't need 1GHz+ and is no risk, reflashing the ROM replaces it
Just give it a go, but you need opengles line in build.prop

there is a theory by turgot, that increasing a faktor wont increase the outcome at a specific point anymore. therefore i would be really interested how your play handles games at that oc. not only a benchmark, something like a video where its possible to see occouring errors, if there are any
this is great work you did, and it may allows some modification to the play.yes im thinking about cooling..even if it wont be that portable anymore. thanks for your help
2.3GHz
I'm currently going where no developer would go before my customized kernel has 26 CPU frequinces all up and a max of 2.3GHz
But without the GPU overclock and a 8mb GPU memory vs Lupus and dooms 4mb
i cant go even more than 1.6ghz
Needed an extra cooler solution and an powerful battery, like Mugen 3600mAh, to maintain this level of OC for diary use. Would be amazing!

Wait, what? Lupus Kernel offers increased amount of VRAM?
IMHO this is perfectly fine if you don't care so much about the device, otherwise you would be crazy. OC'ng so high will eventually cause in-reversable damage. I know what your doing so no need for me to ask questions But even if its stable for you it wont be for others all depends on the chip and as we know each is different. Also even if people don't use 2.x ghz frequencies tend to jump to the highest for a mili second if even on boot, causing problems with the device actually booting.
Well just my 2 cents on OC'ing...

What about 2 cents on this VRAM apparently being doubled?
At the end of the day its not GMEM which is essentially like a processors cache. Our chip has 256kb of it. But the allocated VMEM, would upping it to 8MB provide any sort of performance increase?

Can you post some benchmarks for the CPU? And also tell us more about the VRAM... Did it make any difference?
I believe that the Xplay has good chances of reach 2.0GHZ, running fine, provided has an good thermal solution. In my test, the games run fine for some minutes, before start overheat. Needed of somebody to build an custom cooler, then, make some tests. In my opinion, the safe clock, for sure, is not only 1.6GHZ. Only for default cooler.
