As with so many other people, my phone contract has expired. As such I now have a beautiful Xperia T to replace my X10 with. However two years together with it can't be so easily forgotten so it is with a heavy heart that I say good bye to this corner of XDA. It has been quite a journey- the debate if we would get gingerbread, about dual touch, the 16m colour screen? I remember it all! I was here when the founders of the X10 community were eager- DoomLord, Trip'n'raver, Z, J rdannar and all the countless others. In the past year however, they have been replaced with the likes of ChampionSwimmer, Amin, WolfBreak, FeraVolt and Vasishta Reddy. So the X10 thrives and survives! Although I will no longer have the device I will still check in ocassionally and if I can share what I have learnt in the past 24 months I will do so gladly. To the Devs all I can say is keep on rocking and make our x10 shine! To the users, obey the forum rules and keep faith
Galcactus,
Barnaby

The xperia T is an amazing phone,my upgrade is due in November and it will be tough to leave the x10 and the community. My next phone will most likely be a SONY, have fun with your T.

just out of curiosity...why Sony as ur next device???
A combination of ui, the specs and that I love Sony's designs! I was so envious of the arc! The t was all I wanted and more! Factor in the my fan boy attitude and the James bond stuff it was ideal! HTC I don't like the ui, same as Samsung. IPhone I say no to on principle and the others aren't nice...

Hey Galcactus,
I can understand leaving this community isn't nice. There has been a great development and there is a great community-feeling.
I recognize everything you've said. I also was there in the early days (remember the F5 party's on TripNRaver ROMs).
But good stuff ends some days.
Even that my subscription has ended already (beginning of september) I'm still using it, with my x10.
Newer subscriptions cost me more money. So I'm thankfull that there still are dev's for x10, that can give me ICS.
Anyways, have fun with your Mr. T!

I've been waiting to try the new Sony Reader app since it was first announced a few months ago. December launch was bumped to January launch. It is finally available, but not for the X10. Froyo only. Talk about salting an open wound. Bummer.

Of course that is not Sony's issue that Ericsson has decided to produce an outdated phone with outdated OS and not upgrade it to anything beyond 2.1 because their developers are not able to work on Time Scape and bring it to 2.2.
I forgot that in this particular issue, Sony and Ericsson are one entity. Yep, speak of which....
since se has no phone YET running froyo its more or less quite embarassing
Unless SE's hinting at Froyo for the X10 then this app is... I dunno what to make of this move... Sony can't be this stupid... or can they?...
Sure, they can say it's meant to reach not just their userbase but the android community at large but... wow... just wow

Sad but true
Anyway, not all is lost. This app could be ported...
Or we could just install Z's Froyo rom... other than no camcorder (pics work, just not video ATM) it is great and I am getting 1500+ in quadrant.
Just a suggestion, I know some like the stock rom, or just dislike a non-complete rom.
I am holding off on Froyo roms for now, but fully intend to use one before I buy another phone. My contract with AT&T just started in August. Gonna own this X10 a while.

Exactly. And if we ran Sony, we'd probably do the same thing.

Has anyone gotten this to work on the G Tab? I have played with it for days even called Sony support and can not get it to work?
This is good news to our community since SE used to be anal about these mods.
They are giving 20 phones out to the CyanogenMod team and helping them out with kernals and debugging.

Honestly, I couldn't be more happy with all the changes Sony Ericsson has made.
that is too cool!
Can't wait to see where development goes form here!
Very cool! That's a much better stance than Motorola is now taking (so much for their unlocked bootloaders).
Considering how many they gave, I'm going that includes the CDMA R800x!

I'm pretty sure they will. Keep in mind the R800x officially cannot be bootloader unlocked. If they officially support custom roms on the R800x verizon will not be happy.

that's a great news!
maybe we'll see features in our xperia play combining the goods of cm7 and our phone.
Hopefully now that SE support development they can release their Kernel sources earlier
Loving the news.
My Atrix runs CM7 and it makes the device so customizable and better to use, so having this on the Xperia Play as well would be a plus.
With great news like these my atittude for Sony Ericsson is changing for the better.
Unlocked bootloaders and trying to help the community out. So much better than what Motorola and HTC have been doing recently.

I think he was referring to the fast pace in which the mobile industry is going. Like, you know...ant years or somethin' like it... ha
On the other hand...
yes, i bought my x8 (the black one) last year in june after my old one got stolen, and i was short on cash, so i bought it with the promotion they had at 3 (three), it was 49 euros without any subscription...planned to change it after a while, but it was ok, and with all the possibilities the android world brings, didn't really feel the need to change it.
but...still...planning on upgrading to defy+ but not sure if it's worth it for now...
My x8 is 3 months old

Yes with a decade I did mean the fast pace of the industry. Yet our phones are still keeping up whereas development for phones released then has stopped
Remember. X8 started.with donut 1.6

I have my X8 Black for about 1,5 years and don't have no intentions to change it. The great work of all the developers of this community and his beautiful design, make it an awesome phone.
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

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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!

Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
The phone was not dumped for the heck of it. Sony dumped it as majority of the games designed for it wouldn't work well on the play. Plus ICS was a ram hog. Thus games ran poorly or were not updated by the devs to run better.
Plus our play is two and a half years old. No phone manufacturer is going to spend the resources to update a phone most people would have upgraded from.

But you see how Xperia J works with JB? Lags,lags everywhere
There has been many discussions about this device not getting Jellybean all the way back to when Jellybean was first released even ICS. The simple matter of the fact is this device will never get official ICS or JB. There is plenty of information online as to why. These threads usually become off Topic threads flaming the manufacturer, so for this reason..
