imp for all xperia owners - Xperia Arc General

guys we all know sony wont be releasing jellybean and ics is supercrap leaving aside(some hard work of devs trying to make it work).
a same dev Zackconsole is trying to do something good for our phones.
he has booted sense 4.0 and he can make it successfull for us.
Guys he need donation. His phone is in sony service centre.
Please guys support him and let him bring some life to our xperia's,
link of his post : - http://twitter.com/IdeosDevZack
link to donate :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=4228875
guys this is a humble request to everyone here to help him

why port sense 4.0 ? It's such a memory hogger rom. ARC S will definitely cannot handle it. The RAM is not enough for the stock ICS. With SENSE 4.0 there will be less RAM and lags. Rather contribute to CM development. My view only!

good point!
the dev have tested it.
it works much better than xperia ui
and i also have htc one s
sense 4.0 is light and proper for arc
but still if you think its your wish

is there really a need to post a 3rd post promoting this person's work?

[Collaborative ROM] Android 2.2 Yogurt

We must wait the AOSP stable release of Android 2.2 Froyo. After, we can start.
Official site out now: Yogurt official site
Visit the official site for all news and informations about this project.
News:
19/06: The FRF72 Froyo Beta is out for the Nexus One.
19/06: New changes on the site by Sherry123.
18/06: +500 visitors on the official site. Thanks everybody.
​
i think it s a very GOOD idea !!!
every body work on 2.1 , but if every one goes on this idea , i think we can try froyo
a unique and comon good rom
but is every developer are going to work in a same and good rom ???? that is the question
they all have a good experience in 2.1 so why not a 2.2 ..... now
As far as I can tell this is allready happening with the abyzou rom. I recon 5-6 ppl are working on it, or atleast they have been.
2.1 that is, and so far it works perfectly with the exception of the camera, being worked on though
I can help make web.
where have u seen many artists painting one peace of art?
Programming is like an art! Everyone have it own style! I doubt it would be possible to make such a team, as everyone would like to put something from his own in it, while other one wouldn't like it!
Some developer can help other, like someone could help abyzou rom to get camera and sens! Then the person who helped could use working camera/sens for his own rom.
i can be one of your testers and if i've time i can try to study something to let it work on froyo
Work in such kind of things in teams its very hard if there is no leadder,no competiton and more than 2 or 3 people.
Frist of all the leadder has to set the objectives and asign each team member a work.
As i can see in the forum there is a big
cooperative spirit and i can asume than all of you visit tattoo forums frok your contries.
We are a lot of people.
We need someone to lead all of us, someone testing, programming or weathever...
But for teamworking is better to own a laedder.

I agree.
I will make team for making colaborative ROM. Just create the rules.
i'm here
ikxdf has just made a 2.1 nearly completely functional. Support him now and then we all could work on a 2.2 porting
I m ok for testing every thing
got tattoo and teamviewer for help ........
can format for windows or ubuntu ......
with froyo , we could have google earth on tattoo lol !!! nice
I can be the "leader", but i don't want to give orders.
But, i think the ROM must be basic...
Basic, i want to say no more apps installed (as Twitter, ...) just, basic apps.
Then, i think we cam make a team with a lot of developers even if each developer has his way of...
The Tattoo community is welded, i'm sure of that.
But everyone must play a whole...
What do you think honestly about that?
I'll modify first post if people are ok for try this big project...
I m ok for that
i have not lot "competences" but can help with the few one ......
so we got a leadder (gabsx23)
i thnik that your mission is give peaople work to do.
and fix the priority objectives, a kind of primary mission.
as the itilian developers team (alberto, ikxdf ... you know them all) is finish right now the eclair version (its awesome guys) i would focus on froyo...
i propose as primmary mission to do a bootable version of froyo...
what dou you think guys?
and gabsx ,it would be great to start with creating a froyo rom post start as soon as possible in a tiddy way.
(im sorry for my bad english...)
well dudes... lets start.
will you start from N1 update.zip?
We can but it's not the good release...
The good version of Froyo coming soon (Google say ^^).
But we can start with an other 2.2 official ROM and wait.
I just want already to make a good team for preparing that.
Do you think is it a good idea?
Yes, why do the job 2 times? better waiting for the "real" stable version..

Yes i think too
Would like to help, but why don't you wait until the froyo source comes out??

[OFF] - A proposal for the dev's and cookers!

Hello friends! I created this thread to make a proposal to the dev's and cookers ...
Well, what I mean is that we have bright developers of ROMs for our XPERIA X8
I think most of them work on your own ROMs, without the assistance of anyone (I'm NOT saying they are not able to cook a ROM)
What I mean is that I think that all the dev's of X8 ROM's (as racht, doixanh or AnDyX), cookers (like ME!) and designers (like AChep) come together and form a team, so to create an all-new custom ROM with the help and idea of ​​all users of the Xperia X8!
The forum is for everyone to share their ideas and how they can help in the development of custom ROMs for our devices, and I believe that together we can create a perfect ROM!
That's the idea and proposed to you all, developers of ROMs of our Xperia X8 ...
I think it's a good idea!
Who agrees with me?
Remember: In unity is strength!
It sounds good in theory but I doubt they will work on a single rom. As far as I see it, racht likes gingerbread and has abandoned his floyo rom, but dx likes froyo so he started adding things from gingerbread for users to have a better experience while using it. One thing that I know for certain, if someone manages to find a fix for a problem in any rom I am sure they will share their work with others, because that's why they use these forums.
As for jerpelea he seems to focus more on the X10, which will get official gingerbread update, instead on X8 and that saddens me abit, but is his time to spend and he can do whatever he wants with it... AnDyX has done 2 modules but no rom so maybe ask him to make a rom from scratch by using knowledge gained from other devs.
I do not mean to them that I quoted ...
I refer to ALL's dev ...
I think if all agree to try to do this, we must settle on which Android will be based (Whether it will be 2.3 or 2.2, whatever), but I think that discussion is for later ...
My proposal is that all ideas come together and share their knowledge so that all interested members to create a fully-working near perfect ROM
This is my proposal and idea ...If anyone can understand me...

I do not say that this not a good idea... but it's very-very difficult to work with someone else over the same project. I have never work over roms for phone but from my knowledge as a programmer i can say that it may be better working like now...
I was working with a programmer over a firefox addon (like the way you say) but it was very difficult. I was forced to inform him about everything i did, so to let him know what he should do. I started keeping notes and made a program lol...
You must be very consistent too do this...
I wish our devs have the time to set up such a project...
great idea, but... We only need to know if our devs agree with that..

I feel the same way. It is very difficult to work with multiple people at the same project, each in a different place. Everyone should have from time to time the exact same code and this would necessarily mean working in shifts and not in a team.
What I see much more easy to do is try to understand what features should have the "perfect rom", such as it is doing doixanh for froyobread, posting polls and seeing what the majority prefers.
We could start with topics such as: 1) froyo base vs. gingerbread base, 2) favorite launcher, 3) basic applications preinstalled .. etc etc. ..
Then we might ask a developer to take charge of the project and prepare the ROM. As an incentive we can provide some donation, if at the end of the project will be many users of the forum to participate, there won't be too hard to put together a little cash I think.
What do you think? Could it be possible?
While I won't downplay this idea, because it does have its merit, this would be VERY hard to achieve. Devs would need to communicate everything they did to eachother, which could prove difficult. However what we COULD do is designate assignments for a specific dev. For example:
Doixanh - Porting Gingerbread features to Froyo and performance
Jerpelea & Blagus - Cracking the bootloader
And so on, so forth. Publish all the work in Google Code or Github to make easily accessible for the whole community.
This to me seems the only really viable way to go...
well I hope so !! really they are the betters and could pass something nice
So typical.
All i see are random members saying that it can't be done or that it is so hard to achieve.
Why can't you wait for devs to answer for themselves?
...I agree with all that this is difficult but... I think that the are already work in a team... xda devs' team... they already help each other enought.
First of all, this thread belongs to Genreal section.
Now on-topic:
I don't see any usefullness from this idea.
1st Devs are helping each other anyway for sure
2nd.. 2nddd?!?!?! :O
Oh, yeah... there's no second.
Point is:
Example: doixanh is stuck at something when making froyobread.. he will ask someone for tip...
racht hackdroid has camera disabled... kuya will fix it (altough he's a cooker, not dev I suppose)
You got it??
Apps preistalled, default launcher... install your favorites by yourself you lazyasses
if OP want it like cyanogenmod,
than it is freexperia project.
I don't see it working.
btw, yes, I'm not a "dev", I like and always be a newbie
Theres already a project like that, it is FreeXperia project, i suppose everyone already know that.
The point is, we should just continue that project, if someone already have a well programming knowledge, then they should just help that project, creating the libs for X8 to be used for 2.3+ Android version later.
that's good idea,newbie like me very happy to hear it
That's a good idea, but i think that we'll have more progress about a Cyanogen 7 rom soon enough.

My opinion

Hello everyone!
My name is Bart, and I would like to share my opinion about the development of ICS/JB and GB for our lovely but aging X8
As you know, ICS and JB need a lot of juice to run smooth and good, and our X8 is not designed to do such things , so I would like to share my opinion not to concentrate on making ICS/JB for our X8, but make better Froyo and GingerBread as those are good for it, yet GB needs a bit too .
I would like to ask you developers to concentrate more on Froyo and GingerBread as those ROM's are what our X8 is waiting for, get the best for it.
This is just my opinion, don't know what other think about it.
Have fun!
Bart.
I think GB is very good for daily use. Its just perfect. Devs should concentrate on JB/ICS...:angel:
developers did everithing they can on gb it up to cyanogen mod to improve performnce on gb in cm7.3 if it will be for x8 :good:
The point of it is that its not worth developing ICS/JB for out X8, our phone is just too weak and too old for this
I think it's very disrespectful to hold a poll on such issues.
Without devs doing what they want to do (they have to be inspired or enjoy their work) you wouldn't even have Froyo or GB..
Polls like this can make devs disappear from XDA because it makes them feel undervalued.
Remember this:
1: XDA is a developers site.
2: You are lucky to be here.
3: XDA can decide at any time to make this a dev site only.
4: You are lucky to be here.
5: Devs work for free - Who are we to tell them what to do with their time and efforts.
6: You are lucky to be here.
I think I've made my point clear!
Reported as this kind of poll disgusts devs and most of us happy users!
You can't order them what to do... And yes you can't even suggest them...
I guess you aren't a developer so you don't have curiosity to develop something NEW... you just download their work... And then post such disgusting thread... :thumbdown::banghead:
I too own X8... But I would love if the developers continue experimenting with X8... in hope something out if the box
Sent bursting with anger...
Thread closed as your opinion sounds more like a demanding troll attempt than an actual opinion....unless you are not trolling, in which cased....thread closed anyway.
Do not reopen this thread or a "Y U CLOSE MAI THREAD?", thread.

hi, i've installed Spikelabs SDE Gaming v4 Ultimate and its totally awesome!!!
thanks people for support i will make this if any of devs can support me

[Announcement]9th Circle of Development is recruiting new members !

INTRODUCTION​Do you want a rom which will be more stable, faster with better battery life than a stock?
You don't believe it's possible?
I proved otherwise.
First of all, if you are not familiar with my work, then you should check this thread.
MAIN IDEA​Since a Concept ROM was leaked , I saw a great potential in it.
It's clean ,stable and very fast.
But unfortunately I don't own Z3, so I decided to port it to my Z Ultra.
I did it, but it wasn't enough, so I started to make it better.
But why only Z Ultra users should enjoy it,right?
If I ported it to Z Ultra , I think it can be ported to other Xperia Devices, but I can't do it in my own, that's why I am building a TEAM.
WHY DO YOU WANT IT?​
If you like custom roms, but the only one you see are CM based with same bugs.
Stock ROM is not fast enough for you.
You want some crazy themes, which can make your UI really dark, which is not possible in stock.
You want to keep some OEM apps and at the same time, you want a clean android.
You want to be a part of project, which will bring Sony Development to the new level.
HOW I SEE IT IN THE FUTURE?​My primary goal is to bring this project for as many Xperia devices as possible.
We will make rom more interesting by: adding futures from CM roms, making our own themes, which can completely change the look of UI, Ideally we can make an app, like layers, but it will be part of the rom and more...
Theoretically it's possible to make an LB version in the future. At least for ZU and Z3.
WHAT I CAN DO?​
I have experience in following fields:
Porting ROM and APPS
Kernel development
Working with smali codes
Some programming skills, which are developing.
WHO DO I NEED?​
Developers (Roms, kernels)
Designers and theme makers ( logos, themes)
Testers (who are willing to do experiments and don't afraid to that)
Someone good with Smali coding
BASIC REQUIREMENTS:​
Good English skills
Be nice and friendly
What'sApp messenger
Ability to work in a team
FOR FUTURE USERS:​You can speed up process by making a donation. All the money will be used for buying new devices.
I WANT TO JOIN!​Click me.
Wow that's damn nice @Uncle Lucifer u have much potential in development
I already thank to all guys who join to this team and for their future hardwork
Together we can reach things what we normally never reach. And I know that as Teamleader and Creator of Team Project Desire
BTW can I join too?
Thanks
Your PDesire

Nice idea RXS bro @Uncle Lucifer
But you know we RXS MoonBreakers are already in ^^
Cheers from me the CEO [The 1st Leader] of RXS
Time to revolution the Sony Xperia Development.
I can be a tester for Xperia Z2 but if you teach me I can make all the possible development because I love this, I love XDA and what this awesome people make for all!
I confess, I would love the opportunity to learn to make development, ROMs and kernels, if you give me the chance I will be eternally grateful and indebted to XDA to give them a little more love this great world called Android.
I would be able to test your rom for the Z5 Premium dual sim model. Let me know if you need help with testing for this model
@Uncle Lucifer I have made a similar rom for xperia u but the biggest question for me is to what point should the rom represent stock features, I mean what to be included and what not from home,dialer,media apps,media apps,small apps etc....
I'd be happy to test on z3 with locked bl

@Uncle Lucifer great concept buddy!! I was already searching for something like this. I can help u in rom development and will agree to test for Xperia Z1... Cant wait to start the project!!

Akash
Ready to join!
Thank you for showing interest in project.
The main goal right now is to assemble a team, then we gonna start to make a plans for future.
I will create group as soon as will have more people and look at all of your applications, but please if it's not hard than write in which part of developing are most interested: kernels, porting, testing, design and etc.
I can test it for Xperia Z1.
Tester for the most notorious Z3+ xD
Im Happy to be a Tester for Xperia ZL, New in android Development, having a hard time in flashing my deodex app that was deodex in joeldroid batch deodex, since i dont know the right update script. Learned from tutorials, that why i build my own rom, which is more from customize the UI rather than the additional functions. But willing to become a tester mostly for ported apps since Lp was the last update for us
Your project is very ambitious, I already like it.
I hope that it will go far !
If you need tester for Z3 Compact, I would be happy to help you !
I haven't a lot of skill in developpement, but I can tinker some software stuff.
If I am not taken, I hope that you will make for us some good roms! =)
I would like to join you too, I can become a tester and grow up time by time to be other roles.
Finally!
I am also a glorius user of my z3 and would like to help.
I have small experiences at building/porting kernels and roms,
and my z3 is ready to test everything.
Hope this will bring future to our superb sony phones.
greetings^^
I'm interested in testing; I have the Xperia Z, and just like most users of this phone, I'm looking forward to new ideas.

Many Z3 users here ^^
I the CEO of RXS have also a Z3 (June not anymore, probarly Xperia X or Xperia X Performance)
We have a lot of testers, but need more devs.
Testers are welcome.
And guys, don't worry.
I am planning to do both LP and MM versions.
So if you didn't officialy receive MM, you still gonna have ROM.
Some info about concept base:
Even LP version, is more like MM than any LP rom.
So, there is no big difference between LP an MM versions.
And that's good for those who have old phones, like me. Nothing to jealous about.
I will make porting easy as possible.
Those who want to add support for their device need to find a more or less stable base. AOSP. I will make the convertable package, and also kernel is required. We can try to use my sources, by adding new defconfigs. Or experiment with existing ones.
So, in theory to start porting to new devices, we need:
Find base rom
Flash my package.
Make it boot
Then adjust it by replacing hardware libs, from stock roms and others.
It's possible.
And when we will have more devices, we gonna add stuff. And that stuff will be universal, so we can work together on it.
I already did advanced power menu, themes support and multi DPI.
