Hi all,
as you know today Google announced Android 2.3.
So, I'm just asking if someone on the forum plan to build some AOSP 2.3 custom rom
(I'd love to do this, but I really don't know how to... Jerpelea or zdzihu, some advice for noob ? )
EDIT : found this post, looks nice http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
I'm gonna give it a try
I think you might struggle to get past step 1..
I. Before You Begin
1. This ONLY works for HTC Android devices at the moment, later versions might support others (check here for an update when it does).

Not sure it should be a problem. The tutorial is a little start as you can't find any cool tutorial... especially x10
Except http://blog.coralic.nl/2010/01/21/how-to-create-a-custom-rom-for-hero-from-android-sources/
yea please developers .... the x10 will be AWESOME and i don't have to change it later.
Ok, I'm getting Android sources, I don't know at all if I'll be able to do something, that's worth a try anyway
@ zdzihu
As soon as we can confirm that Gingerbread works with 2.6.29 kernel, we will switch to the latest version. It's still +-10 days till official release of 2.3

The sources for Gingerbread ARE NOT RELEASED - we CAN'T work on 2.3 yet.
Please check AOSP Rom thread for 2.3 PREVIEW rom

working well with the recovery menu - i was able to wipe and then install the 2.3 ROM.
driver support is none existant (as Z said in his post on that thread) but you can at least have a look around and check it all out. Animations seem very smooth all things considered - hopefully 2.3 will not be far off for a real release for our beloved X10
btw - adb is active on the 2.3 ROM also, i was able to push a few apk's to it with no issue at all. Didnt try pulling anything, but assume it would work fine.
and yes, i was able to restore my 2.1 backup with no issues when i had finished playing

dude, did you read Zdzihu's post at all? he has released a preview ROM in his other thread. you can load it using his recovery menu. as i said, i installed a few things via ADB (which included shootme for screens) but was unable to access the sdcard
want more proof? im not spamming, and Zdzihu is the X10 god, so he is telling truth too.
EDIT: am reflashing now, will get another camera to take shots....
screens as requested
very nice indeed which post did he posted it in? If you don't mind

Hi guys,
Here's Gingerbread 2.3 PREVIEW rom. It is not one of our roms - THIS IS SDK DUMP - SLOW AND WITHOUT ANY HARDWARE SUPPORT - hence we do not support it!
It is only for those who can't run 2.3 on emulator but still want to see Gingerbread in action. For me, it's just a proof of concept that it will work with 2.6.29 kernel.
Again, THIS IS NOT AN AOSP ROM RELEASE! It's just something to play with in a spare time
Installation: Boot into xRecovery -> install custom zip -> select X10-2.3-preview-signed.zip
Please do a full wipe before installation!

Here it is again folks ICS I9100XXKP2 by SamMobiles.
Wednesday we presented you with the first beta release today the second firmware for the Galaxy S II.
This rom still a CUSTOM build by Samsung and still with TW.
Samsung created this firmware on December 8 2011.
As you all may know we only offer stock ROMs so you will not find this firmware on our usual firmware page.
This rom is a bit faster but still with a lot of bugs.
HowTo flash.

It is sad that Android moved to 4.0.3 and Samsung still could not get to 4.0.1 stable
This rom is just only faster, still buggy. Do not install it on your daily phone...
Gonna flash it this time and see how it is
Hope it can be useful to CM9, i don't care about Samsung's roms
i mean codeworkx said for a some days he has this firmware too and there can´t help to build our cm9

3 threads on XXKP2 already. man people are really eager for ICS
yea men ics make people crazy in there brain XD
I've only ever flashed 1 ICS beta and that was a few weeks ago,i love the look of it but personally im not gonna waste my time flashing any more beta / alpha builds until such time a stable ROM you can use every day is released, no point really when you know there are going to be bugs.

I know! Crazy - Timestamp people!
Anyways - glad to see it's getting out there (even though it's just a traffic generator - no other reason to spread them out) but glad to get them anyways! I know it's still "not so good" of a leak but still worth a shot
People's attitude around here is really starting to get on my nerves, it feels like everyone here are 12 years old.
Has any other big company released a stable ICS rom for their phones? No. As far as I know, the only other company that released anything is Sony Ericsson, and THEY only released a half working alpha build for developers only.
Everyone needs to go care about something else for a little while and stop acting like spoiled children.

Since the xperia x10 mini, galaxy mini and various other ARMV6 ldpi/mdpi devices are all getting MIUI v4 ports, whats the possibility of getting a port to the wildfire. This thread is just to raise awareness of it, and trying to get some developers involved. I may attempt to get a basic port from the galaxy fit or x10 mini working by using the basic tools in the rom kitchen. But thats the best I can do.
xperia x10 mini rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511495
Oh god I hope this goes through and we get a working MIUI ROM.
I've been loving how MIUI looks ever since I first saw it
This sounds nice. Hopefully someone might look into it.
Sounds good to me, I was reading a thread about how they ported it for an mdpi device earlier today, it still sounds like a lot of work resizing but I think it can be done eventually.
I just read that the Armv6 version probably won't have themes.
I'm afraid it's unlikely themes will ever work because of the proprietary binary which MIUI uses to apply themes. It compiled for arm7 only.

If you're going to use that tutorial, use the X10 Mini/Mini Pro version of MIUI most MIUI apps are resized to QVGA. We may have the possiblity of having themes in the future, since more apps are going to be opensourced. Anyway, thanks for providing the link to the tutorial. I'll try it out later.
UPDATE: Turns out its perfectly possible to port between two LDPI devices, I'll get a copy of Ubuntu setup tonight or tommorow, to start editing and compiling. I'll post any updates here.
What about getting help from the Galaxy Mini version?
It has a 3.14" 240x320 display (really close to ours)

I'll PM the creators of both the X10 Mini and Galaxy Mini rom in a bit. If anyone can, try the tutorial that nejc121 posted. I've had trouble getting the final zip to flash. But maybe I'm doing something wrong..
UPDATE: Think I figured out the issues with my zip. Recompiling and testing in a minuite.
UPDATE II: Didn't work, can someone else try out the tutorial and see what kind of end results they get?
UPDATE III: Final update of tonight. Returned the update-script back to default ICS. leaving out the offending code from the MIUI tutorial.

ok... but basically my idea is to port a fuly-working rom to the wildy, instead of a cm-dependant one. If a cm7 based miui exists and it's compatible with wildfire, that would be great, it won't be as cool as ICS but it would be a starting point even for other developers, who can still work with android 2.x if they want to;
that's something i'll try to do, i definetly want miui on wildfire, not necessarly ICS miui.

Did you split your boot.img and change the ramdisk image and such? While retaining the 500 kernel?
If you are going to port something, this is one of the basics.
Just changing a few hardware files, won't work.

Well, you said it all, probably there is no memory in the the place the kernel is trying to setup its stack, is your kernel an A500 one or is it from another machine with a different memory layout? because it smells like the latter.

So I came across this thread by Spizzy01: (Thank Spizzy01, not me... his idea... all credit goes to him.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37420432#post37420432
And in post # 16, he mentions about how he contacted Qualcomm to request about updated Adreno graphics libs.. so that maybe we can get the updated graphics performances of ICS/JB while staying on GB. Which I think would be sweet.
So I thought to myself what if we, as many Xperia PLAY users, emailed Qualcomm and asked that they either update the GB libs for the Adreno 205 as the processor is about 2-2.5 years old now, or if they would be willing to release the sources and let our kicka$$ devs here have a field day with the sources.
The best link I could find on their site was this:
http://www.qualcomm.com/about/businesses/qct
Just click on "Contact" and email them your requests for these Adreno 205 Libs.. remember stating either updated graphics libs or releasing the sources.
What are your thoughts......? I personally think its worth attempting, because you never know and if it does work either way its a win for all Adreno 205 users not just Xperia PLAYs.
Well it is worth a shot, I just gave it a go, lets see what happens
I've looked into it quite a bit, and Quallcomm have stated that there pretty much isn't a chance in hell that they'll release their sources...
That being said, an update... A sign of hope... Or a push in the right direction... ANYTHING would be better than nothing. And it's unfortunately exactly 'Nothing' that we have received from Quallcomm for well over a year now in terms of GB graphics libs.
The last update (AFAIK) was November 2011, which is the current libs used in most GB ROMs to date.
Since then there have been several updates, however these releases have only been compatible with ICS and JB.

Just a tip, I have looked into this before, and I dont remember which phone it was that was on GB but it got updated GPU libs... and it was running the Adreno 205 processor. I'll see if I can find the thread for it here on XDA and post it below.
I did email Qualcomm as well and asked about this. I know its very likely we will never get a reply, but you never know.
Edit: This isnt what I was intending to find but someone said they flashed the updated Adreno 220 drivers and it worked.... I call BS.... but meh...

One more for good measure:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/352744-drivers-new-updated-adreno-205-flashable-cwm/
When looking yesterday, I found that the Huawei U8800 (Ideos X5) was apparently the last device with the Andreno 205 to receive an update to its GB graphics libs.
http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_u8800_ideos_x5-3596.php
So I downloaded a few ROMs in order to extract the libs and try them on AuroraPlay... I'll continue looking into it when I get home from work shortly. It got pretty late last night so I didn't get round to recompiling the ROM and flashing it.
EDIT: In response to the updated '220' drivers. The Adreno '200' series drivers work on all '200' series chips as far as I know. So it would make sense if the 220 drivers were to work on the 205, as they are technically the same driver.
What I posted above I think may be helpful..... crossing fingers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000960
The drivers in the Galaxy W thread are pretty much the same as what we are using now. It is also around the same time our last update was received.
To my knowledge, the drivers from Nov 2011 were actually ported from another ROM/Firmware... Not sure which though.
I'm installing the 8800 libs now anyway, I'll let you know if there's any difference... Or if it boots xD
Edit: Looks like its a no-go. I've tried loads of things, it wont boot with the drivers from the 8800. I'm gonna try a combination of the GB/ICS/JB drivers... See if I can get it to not run like a slug... Doubt it though!
I don't have anything to contribute except that Qualcomm is extremely protective of their IP, they just ask to take down AndroidPolice articles that posted something about Qualcomm. There's isn't much of a chance.
My son has a Huawei M886, a phone that shares the same soc as the PLAY. This particular phone got an ICS demo that everyone installed, maybe this rom contains the updated driver you are looking for. I could probably pull the rom off of his phone(I installed cwm on it) but he's still on gingerbread.

The driver we are looking for is a Gingerbread driver.
There have already been updates to the ICS and JellyBean drivers by Quallcomm, the aim of this thread is to try and get them to update the GingerBread drivers or for us to find our own alternative.
I'll download a ROM for the M886 and see what drivers are in it.
I've just put together this set of drivers from one of the M886 GB ROMs.
I'm at work at the moment so can't test them, but if someone else is free you can give them a try if you like.
Be sure to create a CWM backup before you flash these! They are completely untested!

Oh well! I guess I'll move onto the next one. I've got some drivers from fairly recent GB ROM for the Adreno 220 - Seeing as the libs are generic for the 200 series, they may be compatible with the 205.
I'll create an update zip for them and post them shortly.

Oh well! I guess I'll move onto the next one. I've got some drivers from fairly recent GB ROM for the Adreno 220 - Seeing as the libs are generic for the 200 series, they may be compatible with the 205.
I'll create an update zip for them and post them shortly.

I have read on other sites where people have successfully flashed adreno 220 GB libs to 205 series an its worked... but these were HTC phones and I dont know if these would work on our phone.
I did find this... look familiar.. :laugh:

Well, the Xperia S has the Adreno 220 - But I'm finding it difficult to get a GB ROM for it.
It was originally released with Gingerbread, but the only available updates are firmware packages... Not ROM's where the drivers would be easy to extract.
I've checked on XDA and I can't seem to find any GB ROMs for the Xperia S.
I know over at the Chinese site Gfan. They have a huge forum there for our phone (Think XDA for China, and yes I know there is a XDA China.. but this is an alternate site, Gfan is massive in China)
And I just read that there are several threads for other phones where they have successfully converted updated GPU drivers to GB, perhaps I may find something there for our phone. I'll take a look this weekend and report if I find anything.
Also, for those interested to know.. on Gfan you do not need to know Mandarin to communicate, all the younger generations in China are required to learn English, so if you signed up you can reply in English and they will understand.
Now back to this thread

(See the info just below video for all sorts of download links for Xperia S and others)
I can't really downgrade the Xperia S without an Xperia S
Anyway, I found a ROM in the end... Drivers from around May last year which isn't too bad...
See attached. Not tested yet.
EDIT: Tested... Boots, but plenty of lag...
