seems like someone can't really understand what is he reading. we're not getting the update, and it's not about google giving update, it's about google forcing these companies to update their phones. but only NEW PHONES (read that text carefully, it's written down there), phones that have been just released, and phones that will be released in future. it's not working backwards, older phones ain't getting upgrades. sorry to turn your dreams into a dust. just a little advice - read the whole text, not just the heading, before you start a thread like this - you made ppl excited for no reason. now i have to make their joy go away

+1 it also mentioned that they will get updates if hardware is capable, se have already said x8 wont be updated due to insufficient hardware on x8 personally I don't agree but hey what se says goes regarding hardware they manufactured. It really is a shame.
Thank God for racht, ponnovan, jerpela, dioxanh etc etc they make x8 worth buying XD

Somewhere else writes old phones too and dont forget that sony thinks it will slow diwn our phones not that is hardware not supported and that does not make sense because 2.2 is lighter rom than 2.1
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App

then "somewhere else" is wrong. and of course, se is talking bull****, but that has nothing to do with it.
anyway, i'm happy with custom roms from our devs, so it's fine.

Like I said before se have said many times before x8 will not get froyo EVER at the end of the day not us not Google not anyone can make se update x8 to newer versions of android deal with it. X8 is still a great phone with minicm etc etc
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App

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 ...

I wanted to install a custom ROM on my X8, but this news will motivate me to wait for the update .... hehe!

Me too....few bugs in many cases, but smoothless !

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.
Who don't think it's a great idea?

[Q] For Cookers: Update on Gingerbread for Xperia

According to this
update-on-gingerbread-for-xperia-x10
X8 has no future. Is any possibility to customize X10 ROM for our `lovely` X8?
Thanks.
For Admin: I don't know how to delete the same thread from `XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps` SubForum.
Sorry.

why should somebody "customize x10 rom", when we have almost fully working 2.3 roms ???

Because (maybe, I don't know) a skilled person (a `cooker`) can change your word `almost` with the word `already` when X10 2.3.3 will be available...

Perhaps they can fix our phone's camera app using the X10 Android 2.3.

No, they can't.
X10 has a different hardware from X8 and different architecture

the truth hurts.

Now AnDyX's fingers are playing with camera drivers !!!! may be within a short time he will gift us with a driver which support camera in 2.3+ OS....Now I am having hope for camera in 2.3....

I think that 2d libs are more important

Adreno new libs for X10?

Hello. I've seen this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503477 . it's about an increase in video performance, with new adreno libs. We also have the adreno 200 gpu. Some devs and testers could test this if it works and brings some good performance increase? tks.

I think these new libs are used by fxp since fxp106.

Probably because I have also tested FXP (FXP109), and 3D graphic is really good, but everything else is not so great..as in roms like Feralab..But, we don't know, FXP is still developing CM7.2 and CM9 (they are in alpha phase)..

This thing only gave me bootloops

It make me say so because some year ago I learned the ability called "reading"
Look here, mate (even FXP104)

We already have it since FXP 104. (see above post for changelog). Performance are definitely improved, rendering is a lot faster. And 3D FPS cap is removed, only on CM9 though.

LOOOOOOOL
yes - fxp has had it for a while, the difference was quite staggering too.
not sure if any stock based Roms have implemented them yet, i have not seen them mentioned on any other changelog - which is where i would expect it to be as it is a major selling point for any Rom.

it needs to be BUILT FROM SOURCE...and i think you guys know what that means? only achotjan and fxp ROMs hav it.
you can pull just /lib/egl folder from them and see how stock rom will lag like hell on new libs....lol
they depend on other libs so whole ROM needs to be compiled

SO?
Many roms for the x10 mini already have it.
And yes gpu is vastly more re-active with the new libs.
Not just a boost for games... it really gives the interface a massive boost.

on my.xperia s ROM, cosmic flow is not running solely due to absence of these new libs.

Something important to say

Hello all X8 users, I have something to say to you.
I have been on the X8 section and testing rom when Ratch and Doixanh almost was the only devs, and we was happy about the "Sense" roms with just basic functionality.
But in August 2011 weve got roms wirh working camera and everything.
But now everything is changed, we have more less developers which is quite sad, because more users are buting new phones right now.
Some of the best devs like Doixanh has left us, bu there is still hope from devs like nAa.
But now its time for me to leave you, and buy Arc S In about 20-25 days.
I will always remember all the fun I had with my X8 and all the great roms and modules.
I think Its quite sad to leave you, but the X8 has just to bad size of the ram for me.
But overall X8 is quite a nice phone, and I think it has the best speaker ever. My buddy has Sensation XL and he thinks X8 has better sound then hes XE.
I like the screen too, really good resolution, but I hate that I have Synaptic.
But how many of you are left, and when are you gonna buy something new?

Well...i'll see u in arc section later and i hope u will develop for arc s as well with ICS coming in 1-2 weeks more
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

I never joined the forum but i used to visit it since march.That was the time we had floyo from racht and minicm form nAa and ponovon with pretty much eveything working.
that was pretty hard time.Now the development is quite stable.we have paul and nAa left(Ill be dev someday,when ill grow up )
I will remain in this forum till october...

I'll be on the x8 forums til October or December, unsure where I'll go.
Sent from my E15i using XDA

It is a sad day where a dev like you are leaving XDA X8 section, but your contributions were of high value and hopefully you will keep visiting us.

well all i can say is thanks for everything you have done
but i will stay here as long as my x8 is working. then probably buy Xperia S, P, U or sola...

Bro dont go...read my PM

Good Luck !
The most pathetic thing for me in this community is, when there are people who will be leaving this community, especially people like you.
But I must accept it, And Good Luck, Oyeah! dont forget to visit us here when you have a free time Dude!
But how many of you are left, and when are you gonna buy something new?

I will buy something other, when my xperia will be broken... for now o have it like for 1,5 yrs and its still OK so much people say that touchscreens are bad because they are broken really quickly. But not for me every phone in my life i had like for 6 months - to a 1 year and it was broken. Now i have my lovely x8 for 1,5 yrs, and i dont see any sign that it will be broken in near time so i will not buy any other phone untill my x8 is working

as long my x8 working..i will use it..

I am not gonna buy another phone as long as I don't afford the money so I will continue with x8 until it will break to pieces.... I can't say that I am not satisfied with it, I would say that I have enjoy myself a loooooooooooot!!!
Actually I love it!!!

You are the choosen one! Keep up the good work brother!!

x8 is a great device started by running android 1.6(donut) and it's still working with android 2.3(gingerbread) maybe fully function with v4(ICS) in next few months. What's a great device! But it was built for v1.6(cpu 600mhz but dev make it be able to overclock to more than 700mhz, ram 256 but 184 accessible) so i have to say that newer device can run smoother as they were built for newer version. Anw X8 is my first android phone and it's a great device to me!

Help me decide.........

i have a X8 and X10 MP which to keep? both unlocked bootloaders
HELP ME DECIDE

X8

X10 -> 5MP + autofocus

X10 mini pro has cypress 5 mp camera. Keep the x10 mini pro bro.

keep both

x10 mini pro is better all of us know (x8 is ahead in that it is mdpi)
BUT our community is BIGGER !!!

yea the only thing thats making it hard to decide is the screen res on the X8, i love the camera on the X10MP, only bought it to repair....but it was just a faulty battery...well i've fallen in love with it tbh!

Bro,
Me can see why its hard for u to choose, because both of it has almost same hardware.Other lacks is overcome by other.In short way,Its complete each other.
In this case me suggest u keep the most had sentimental values for u.The one u bought first,always with u,gift from somebody or anything that will make u miss it most if they are gone.If we cant decide by physiology, we should consider from psychology side.
Hope this will help.

You should keep X8 , because has better screen than x10 mini pro

if you asked that in X10 everyone said keep X10
