A ray of hope may be on its way - XPERIA X8 General

I just saw this today
http://m.gsmarena.com/unofficial_sony_st21i_leaks-news-4172.php
Its a sony phone with 800mhz cpu(that means is armv6 right?)and 4.0
That means maybe when it will launch we can use stuff like drm and other things from it!!
Sorry im so excited about it

Xperia x10 donut launcher for arc

Plzz can somebody help me find the x10 donut launcher for my xperia arc?

You should try posting this on the X10 section, might be easier.
Edit: It's also much more populated there as I've had X10 for like 7 months and got my Arc like a month ago.

[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

Ice Cream Sandwich beta Rom !

Check it out ! ICS is just round the corner.
Can't wait
I just hope they change the lock screen though.

i tried talking to an agent on the Sony site... he has no clue he literally told me we don't know that information useless support tbh.
Well if that is the new ics I'm very disappointed it just looks like gingerbread to me it looks nothing like ice cream sandwich:-( nothing in the notification bar what's going on Sony give us full ice cream sandwich not with things missing!!

Plus there is no mention of the play phone I'm so frustrated with sony I think they rushed this phone, things like no bloody memory on a gaming phone come on wtf Sony "yeh we'll bring a gaming device but put 300 mb on it! Wth. No games like they said, if it wasn't for all these hard working 3rd party devs this phone would be dead! Sony this phone could off been great if u put some time n effort n worked properly on it! Frustrated that's all sick of feeling ripped off. :-(

The Settings menu looks like the ICS menu, but with all of the stuff Sony edits on Android, it still looks like the same old thing. Lame.

What are you talking about? The Xperia Play will get ICS as well !
I'll believe it when it Sony say it Sony seem to always leave experia play out of there wordings they always say arc and all the others but never the play. They say all 2011 models I no but y not come out wigh a full list of every phone? :-D
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Given the play is getting ics a month later you'd assume the beta would be a month behind too would you not?
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Don't u think that looks like. Moded gingerbread I think I'll stay with cyangen mod or the other ics.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Why Sony, Why? If it's not broke don't fix it. The stock ICS is the best interface for any android device, if sony take anymore things away it we might as well put leave gingerbread on our phones.
They've basically taken all the Xperia S' UI and ported it to the ICS roms, i really hope they don't fudge this up for the play, in fact they might just leave the play on gingerbread because they don't seem to like releasing stuff for it.
Guys, if you dont like the home launcher, u can use trebuchet or nova, simple

Will that's the point we shouldn't have to use another launcher, from that video that isn't ics there's nothing ics about it. I really hope Sony rethinks this one because it looks like a half arse try when u have 3rd party devs doing better part time!,

You have to expect this with manufacturers, they all do it. If you want a vanilla Android experience get a Nexus
Has anyone ever considered that maybe sony bought the sexplay to kill it?

I agree with most of you saying that the Xperia Play has been left out but i'm sure that it's been advertised pretty well ? and even then it doesn't manage to get it self known.
I am dissapointed cause this is a playstation certified smartphone with actual physical buttons and they should have done better with it.
As soon as I flash this rom officially from Sony I'm going to use the AOSP theme, Xperia S theme really is ugly.

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!

Keep the X10mp and sell the X8 to Achotjan
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
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

just noticed i could sell the X10 for more than the X8 so that made my mind up lol! it's up on ebay now \o/
good that you found a solution to your problem
anyways it's pretty clear that most say X8 because your in the X8 section
if you asked that in X10 everyone said keep X10

you know what grinds my gears?... the xperia E!

I am a little upset that the xperia E comes with official Android 4.1 JB having less specs then the xperia play and they get jellybean! not ICS straight to jellybean! both specs are identical but the xperia E has a lower Gpu and internal memory AND STILL! I understand that sony said that they wanted to leave this phone as a gaming phone but at least make it a optional update on your own risk or something

Yeah it sucks that we dont get it and we didnt even get ics (i dont count the beta because of all its bugs) but there was a rumored release for it a while ago could this be it? :sly:
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
I think the problem is even if Sony released JB for our phone game development would still be slowing down like it has been lately. Plus all the older XPO releases like asphalt 6 and star battalion wouldn't work. Not like a lot of people play those. I still do. Is it possible to utilize some aspects of the xperia e's firmware?

thats why i say at your own risk, for people who might not want to game in the xperia play
Wouldn't be the first time a weaker phone got a newer FW than Xperia Play... we've already established that the reason Xperia Play didn't get ICS/JB was because it would throw the software compatibility way off.
If you want a good example of how bad it would've been, just look at all Evo V owners who are in an absolute fury because the vast majority of 3D games were made to operate under 2.3. The way I see it, Sony did the smart thing by opting for a more stable ecosystem.
The thing is that a lot of app developers are abandoning gb, and making apps for 4.0+, even Google them self, example, chrome browser a great browser but not for gb.
I'd even settle for a decent official ics from Sony, I mean the developers here are doing a better job than them

The Xperia Play has a Scorpion S2 CPU, it's old. The Xperia E is a Cortex A5. Scorpion might be faster in raw flops but the A5 has more features. Snapdragon is quite poor by today's standards and the Xperia E will probably beat it in many ways.

They don't do it on purpose. 2.x API just doesn't support anywhere near as much as 3.0+.

Hey dan!
and i see what you mean by the differences, i seen some benchmarks
I am going to admit many people know more about the inner workings of hardware. But I am sure that with the xperia e's 320x240 resolution also helps in benchmarks as it's not having to push as much in terms of resolution. Although I know that is only one aspect of a bigger picture.

My friend has an Xperia J which is running on stock ICS and I can tell you it is laggy as hell, my phone with Krisdee's Hybrid ROM is much more stable. I know this has nothing to do with the Xperia E but Xperia J has similar hardware as our Xperia Play. Maybe he has a faulty device, I don't know.
Us modders have done a great job in making ics work well on Xperia play
