SONY ERICCSON HAS SAID THEY ARE GOING TO START ROLL UP UPDATES FOR THE X10 BUT NO MENTION OF OTHER RELEASE XPERIA PRODUCTS. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY OWNERS POSTING COMMENTS ON THE SONY ERICCSON FORUMS
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/commun...sionid=9C035449AFE913DDBAFBC51904921490.node0
go on here and write about your disappointment
the x10 2.3.3 is a good start as devs can develop a rom for our x8 but we want a better x8 original. just go on that link and complain about how frustrated you are!

X8
The X8 is a fantastic handset and with its 600 processor it can definitely have the 2.3.3 android software

Don't worry. X8 custom roms are faster than original one.

I don't even care anymore about "official", I love my Floyo
I'am actually looking at the work xda devs do on products before buying them, like seriously I don't even care about company support anymore. They all stop at some point.

Yes but if se release 2.2 or 2.3 this will help devs to make their roms even better, faster.

I was realy disapointed when I buy my phone(it is my first android, and i was an idiot in the android world) when i watch it on gsmarena.com I fell in love with the phone When I started to get to know about android and when I read no 2.2 update, i was realy disapionted...I'd like to buy me an HTC device, that fully works everything (even the MIUI rom) I'm just using CMmini 2.2, and it's a realy good rom, but the interface (I love the stock launcher from Eclair)
Just wait that someone form the developers make MIUI rom compatiable on mdpi devices(like ours x8)

we've already got the 2.3

Any developers here?

I was just wondering how many developers are using an Arc? (with developers i mean rom cookers)
--edit
wanted to post in general but was on the wrong tab

Ditto on this one, anything that springs to mind for future projects

I was more wondering what happens if we have root, ublocked bootloader. i am sure the arc has more horse power than what it has now. Maybe it's tme to learn how to build roms, i'm a Linux user so it doesn't have to be hard .
It would be great to see cyanogenmod on the arc or just tweaks to the OEM rom.

Hopefully all the X10 devs + some N1/Desire devs will come here.
All I know is that Paul from modaco is waiting like us the ''password'' to unlock his Play, knowing it's the same File System and protections he will produce exellent roms for us.
CM7 and MIUI will surelly be adapted.
I don't think the scenario of X10 will be repeated, many devs were willing to work on custom roms but the phone was locked for a several months so they abandoned and swaped their x10.
As for the ARC it all depends on SE, sooner they release the keys and better are the chances to get many roms, the more they wait and the less devs will support the Arc ...

It will be great to see great roms on the ARC like CM7 and MIUI. so all we have to do is wait on the unlocked bootloader. hope to see it get released soon

For exemple, HTC just unveiled the Sensation with the new high resolution screen, if it gets rooted before the Arc then I will swap my Arc with one of them

So finally the Arc will be a great device for custom roms!
The hundreds of devs coming from HTC will preffer the build quality of the Arc over the cheapos LG and samsung

That would be great though there a lot devs with LG2X i had to choose between SE and LG but then i thought nice thing but it's LG
now HTC is locking everything devs would look at other phones. the Arc, Play and Neo are similar so i think if one has a custom rom porting it to another wouldn't be that hard

All im interested in atm is rooting
So does anyone have any idea of when we will get it rooted?

On the SE dev blog they said it will be ''later in spring''.
So if they want to keep their promise they have till 20th June max
I think I can smell it toward end May don't ask me why

No no, June is summer...end of May, TOPS!

I hope this time they will keep their promise and no postpone at all!
How many time they postponed release of phones,FW updates...?
But here if they want SE Arc to be a success even among dual core phones they should release the root before SGS2 enter the market because this one will be rooted in 24h

That´s true! Sony Ericsson MUST do this! Does the unlocked bootloader means root?

No but unlocking the bootloader means we can use fastboot command, any good dev can then build a root method in a couple of minutes or hours.
If Amon Ra and clockwork recoveries are implemented it's even better,we can then backup,wipe,format partitions to ext 2-3-4...on the phone itself exactly like on nexus one and desire
Custom Kernels will follow too,increasing battery life or overcloacking the cpu...
This dev section will have tons of roms to chose from

does anyone know if the xperia arc kernel has been released?

Dev support starting to diminish?

So we've have some devs recently that have either announced that they are stopping/slowing down support or have gone entirely... Anyone feel like this is the beginning of the end for our beloved X10?
This is the list so far:
1. Zdzihu (has slowed down support for his roms and haven't seen any activity from him in over 2 weeks)
2. Cobrato (has stopped development on his MIUI rom)
3. TripNraver (Has also stopped development on all his roms due to personal reasons)
4. Achotjan (has announced that he will be slowing down support as he will be/is a student)
5. Jerpelea (havent seen anything from him in awhile (or is he a part of the freeXperia team?)
*EDIT* Heard that he changed his name to FXP and is still very much active!
6. Rdannar (gone because his phone is broke)
7. Z!GZA!G (new and promising dev but phone broke as well )
We still have very active support from Wolfbreak, nasif619, spaarc and Erickwill in terms of roms and also from Doomlord, Thjap and Azuzu for their kernels and tweaks as well as some releases from other newcomers but I cant help but feel like we're in a bit of trouble...
Anybody else that I'm missing or didn't give credit to? let me know and I'll update the list.. Maybe we can come up with some way to get some devs back on out device or have more development going

unfortunately this is the circle of life.
Support goes to the new generation of devices.Just get over it.
We have more than we imagined when we bought x10.

1. Z is around, don't worry. Hopefully he's busy with providing a bootloader unlock (just dreamin' ) He never posted that much, just compare his post count with what he achieved for our x10. He's not someone who just talks and promises a lot, but when he's posting you can be almost sure that it's either a fix or a major breakthrough that is already prepared for public release
2. Cobrato said he won't continue developing MIUI ROMs because it's a lot of worked without sources (MIUI sources are not released to public). As far as I know he didn't say, he doesn't develop anymore. So let's see what'll come from him
3. Trip left xda by his own choice. If he also stopped dev'ing on modaco, that's sad, but personal reasons are more important than development. Btw. wasn't he planning to dev for the Sensation? Didn't see a single ROM from him there.
4. Achotjan slows own, right. That doesn't mean he's gone.
5. Jp - are you talking about Jerpelea? If so you must be kidding. He's the heart of the FreeXperia team, developing for all Xperia phones atm (X10/mini/pro, Arc, Play, mini/pro from 2011, ...). Recently he changed his name to FXP (FreeXPeria?) so don't get confused.
6. rdannar & Z!GZA!G: didn't know that. It's really a pitty. I hope they'll be back with new or repaired phones

Good to know that Z and FXP are still doing their thing! I'm a bit of a flashaholic so I get real sad when I dont see updates for a couple days... but you're right... it is the cycle of life and it will happen sooner or later.
Hopefully if bootloader gets unlocked, it will bring back a lot of dev activity

I doubt there is enough interest to unlock the bootloader now.

oddly enough we're at a weird point right now....
older phones are so old they are losing dev support, and also there are so many good newer phones that are so new causing them to have little dev support lol

that's exactly what I was thinking. And without a unlocked bootloader, there isn't much more the devs can do now anyways.

Well devs are humans they have other things to do..

I feel that we already got too much support from developers on our X10 and even though things have naturally slowed down, there is still some notable activity.
And maybe it's time for normal users like us to read and research and make our own progress! Will be fun!
Xperia X10i via Tapatalk

I really think that the devs have done an amazing job with this phone, such so that I see no incentives in upgrading my phone to a newer model.. However is there really much more they can do? The only two things I see as missing from the software side is lack of a fully unlocked bootloader and the 16 million colour screen! But there's no real need for an unlocked bootloader and the 16 million colours is only going to happen if SE release source codes..
So really I feel that we've been lucky to have such amazing dev support for the last year. They've pushed this phone to its limits and without them what would we do!
All I can say is that they've done a great job and I hope to see some more of their work down the line!

what is 3x kernel?

Yes, I'm afraid. The dev support for this phone is slowly diminishing. It's sad because they have achieved so much with this phone. At the same time, what else is there to do with this phone that hasn't been done already, or that doesn't need an unlocked bootloader. Hopefully Z comes out with some good news about the bootloader soon, that should keep people here a bit longer.
I hope that one or two devs stay till the end, I came in late in the game so I'm stuck with this phone on a contract until March 2013! D:
That being said, I do love this phone. It's not only my first smartphone, but it's my first ever phone. It has a strange sentimental value to me
Just my too sense.

its the kernel from when we got the gingerbread update. the custom kernel we have is based on the older kernel but our devs have fixed so it works on gingerbread

Sony should concentrate on finishing 4.0.4 and making a final release rather than releasing the current version of ics. Arc users will appreciate that much more, I think.

It's a nice idea to give Arc user a first look, but 4.0.3 it's still unstable in Arc, that's why they should finish 4.0.4 and then make it available to our phones. I still prefer custom roms, they seem to be working better.

we know how 4.0.3 is...but wat about the people who are not on xda forum? normal people who dunno anything about rooting or bootloader unlocking..or who dont want to do..actually they dont care whether its 2.3.4 or 4.0.3..but atleast for the name sake sony should release watever they have worked on ICS till now so that whole arc family can eat ice cream sandwich

i have lt15i and LT15i .69 firmware, just a moment ago i connected my xperia to pc companion and it wants me to update to newer firmware, i wonder if it is ics already?
i will post back in few half an hour when i flash it.

Trust me when I say that most everyday people will regret the ics update as it is now.
First . Camera video is not what it used to be. Most everyday people get the arc for the camera abilities.
Second. Games are pretty much screwed in ics. All I have now is angry bird and cut the rope.
Take some time to think about it. Will everyday non developers really appreciate ics ??

Guys stop whining about the ICS release. Guys like you ( no offence) wanted ICS to roll out very soon. People on xda wanted ICS to be released as it was under development. but when it was released people started whining about tje release has bugs. Please give Sony sometime to fix these issues.
HTC hmm. The htc incredible s which had a scheduled ics update last month didn't get anything. Htc is a fool if it is rolling out ics updates for outdated and non deserving devices earlier than their 2011 lineup. Even sensation series has not got the ics updates ATM.

They already promised ICS for 2011 Xperia phones.
Also, Sony Mobile is a much smaller team compared to HTC, Samsung and the likes so you can't expect the same stuff in the same duration.

Is Jellybean better than Gingerbread in terms of memory/ram usage ?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

Maybe, but highly unlikely. I fear Sony may just get lazy and say 4.1 may screw up the PLAY just like the ICS, but look at the custom roms we have now like markphyton's rom. The developers were probably too lazy.

Some people don't realize that some people don't want to root or unlock their bootloaders, so stop saying sh1t like "get a ROM".

The only way to make every1 get a taste of everything here is to create an .ftf file that could be flash using flashtool. But there's no guide as how to make a .sin file so it could be bundle to be an .ftf file. If there is every1 can run custom rom, custom kernel n overclock their play. So until the methods to make a .sin file be discovered we just need to keep unlock our BL n root our Play. What a drag...
Kindly Hit Thanks Button if i've help u in any way.

The funny thing is, there will be as much support for games as there is on ics. So games that don't work on ics won't work on jb. And sony will do what they did with ics, if you want it then unlock or get lost. But in all seriousness, you're living in a dream if you think the play will get jb officially.

Stop kidding yourself people. Sony won't ever update the PLAY, even with minor GB updates.
They abandoned it after buying out SE and becoming Sony Mobile.
