Born to be multi touch..

Its weird!!
Me and my friend have both x8, I rooted them, installed xrecovery, and then installed gingerdx v19.
But I guess there's no multi touch support for both phone..
I decided to install gingerxperia also for both phone..
Now in gingerxperia my phone supported real multi touch, while my friend's phone supported it but its like fake and its not working right.
(Both phones still locked bootloader, stock kernels and the same everything!)
Whyy??
Some people said its because the screen type(cypress or synaptic).
Oh cmon I understand that when Sony Ericsson makes a phone they put a (cypress or synaptic) and the rest is your luck when you buy the phone that you get a cypress or synaptic??!!!
Or am I wrong with that?
And is there anyway to support the other phone with multi touch?
Why didn't gingerdx support any phone with multi touch?
Everything accepted.. and thxx )

dude it's just ur luck...i have cypress but there's some dude here who put a tutorial for replacing the synaptic chip...either ways u must have the hardware..
and one more thing,,if u can manage to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernel...for ex: i have gdx 20 with alfsv5 and it's smooth as ****...lol....and custom kernels have the fake or real multutouch mods merged in them...

You should have flashed adons for stock kernel for GINGERDX!
That's gives you pinch to zoom etc...

Its true, since gingerdx was getting stuffy and lots of files doixanh needed to put them in a different file to save space. Oh by the way, I have cypress but for synaptics users its tough luck

Sony: Froyo or GB is too strong for the X8.
DOIXANH: Oh yea? We'see about that!
Sony: Pfft
*1 month later*
FUUUUCKKKKKKKKK! THEY'VE ACOMPLISHED DUAL TOUCH AND FROYO! We're doomed!
Doixanh: hehe.
FUUU SONY! I <3 THE UI THOUGH!

Xperia Mini small size, 1GHz cpu (overclockable up to 2GHz), 512 MB RAM, ICS update from SE, official CyanogenMod support, multitouch (i really miss this on my synaptics X8), good price - cca 150 euros

Xperia Play €149 here
Official CyanogenMod and gets official ICS from SE too!
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

I think mine will be SEX Mini Pro / SEX Ray. but I think its kinda complicated to root(is it? I mean downgrade etc ). I'll buy a phone that got 100% support from CyanogenMod!

I am going for ARC or ARC-S, which is going to fit my pocket.

1. What about Xperia neo V ?
2. Will it get official ICS update or not ?

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?

There is nothing I need to buy for now,
I Love My X8 & Htc evo 4G

Good luck out there! So, you stopped ICS development?

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
Sent from my X8i using XDA Premium App

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!!!

nice to hear!!keep it up!

I'm on a 2 year contract I will get upgrade in January 2013 but even then I will keep my x8 as a my son would like it for game's. And in all fairness the Dev's here did much better job then se at giving us all updates way past se would give us. Thanks to all the past and current developers in the x8 community best wishes to you all.

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!

Thanks in advance guys..

This is a bit offtopic bro!
But Xperia Play is your choice. Since it is awesome and has a bigger screen and a better camera. And also IT IS A PSP/PHONE!

i would go with play just because bigger screen

only between those 2?
you could also get Xperia Pro with 8.1MP and keyboard
but it's the best to decide that for yourself i never ask ppl or someone else what phone to buy i think about one or 2 and decide it myself what i want and if i have to think about it for 2-3 weeks then so be it.
They have both 5MP both 1GHz same resolution,
only screen size is different and Neo V doesn't have keyboard.
But if i were you i would think about buying Xperia Pro instead it's good and i think around same price as Xperia Play (in my country)
or get a newer one like xperia u has dual core all of them are in my country around same price sure i don't know in yours and how much you want to spent for a new phone =/

go with xperia 2012 series..
because play and neo both are single core processors ..
its time to switch to dual core

Dude look for for a clean second hand phone that has a dual core processor if you can't afford a new one

Look at that :) A new Sony phone with specs like X8i/W8i/x10i mini

New Sony phone just leaked - Sony ST21i. It has same MSM7227 chipset as our X8i/W8i/x10i mini and even same resolution lcd - 320x480, 3mpx camera and most important thing that it runs Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3!
Maybe some porting when it will go on sale?
More info: http://www.gsmarena.com/unofficial_sony_st21i_leaks-news-4172.php

If a phone like that can run ICS, and SE still say our X8's cant, b*tches will die

Yeah , one more posibility to have ICS better than GB on our x8 )
Sent from my e15i | nAa11 |

but what about RAM? RAM is the only bad thing on our X8

well we know nothing abpout RAM. We dont know how much it will have

but this is actually a good thing...it means completing our own ICS roms will be easier

Duh of course it will have 512 or maybe more
I think sony learnt their lesson(if they dont they really should go back to primary school to learn)

well about ICS. Sony said that ALL 2011 models will get it right? so W8 is from April 2011 so it should get it too. So if W8 get it then X8 should get it too. That means: Sony lies?

What libs they are using?If they used new ics adreno libs,that will be shameless act since we are make a petition to have it
-correct me if im wrong.

Anyone thinking of doing a petition against sony??? For porting ics to our w8? Although useless, who knows, sony gives positive response like qualcom?
