X10 Camera Development

What with the partial release of code for the X10's camera, the proliferation of a number of stable ICS based roms available and the real likelihood of a completely functional 2.6.32 kernel on the way I thought I would suggest that a concerted project be undertaken to develop a functional camera for Android 4.0.4. I personally don't have the requisite skills necessary, (I learned cobol, fortran, rpgII and other forgotten languages) but there are bright new stars shining amongst the X10 community such as Championswimmer, Feravolt, Achotjan, Alzbak, DiKeJ and others; I even noted Spaarc in the new kernel thread. Not only that, but the possible input and or collaboration of FXP, DooMLoRD, Wolf, Thjap, Zdzihu, pvyParts, Iridaki, aZuZu and others could make short work of creating a functional camera. One thought would be to compare the 3 newly released files to equivalent files on the Sony most similar to the X10 and determine if there are differences that could be repeated in the remaining files. A pattern essentially. I believe the X10 still has a lot of life left in it, but we need a camera for ICS to continue along the path. Perhaps Championswimmer could be persuaded to coordinate the effort. Thank you.

I am looking forward to help something, but I need to end my term (end of June) and complete all my DX8 version - it's my last project for X10 (ROM I mean), but I will do my best to help other Devs if they want to. I don't think Zdzihu or DooM will help us, cause they already "close" chapter with X10 (no offence anyone ).

Yes, my term is over, but DX8 is still in development . And I said I could help in work, but I think we need more guys here, to start fighting with X10 camera.

Achotjan, bye xda developers

Hi, I have seen that Achotjan a great developer of our community, is retiring from xda developers.
* why? our users, we are dedicated to donate to, other "developers" (chamviomps Wimmers, Rajivraja .... etc) rather modifiers, taking a rom and add a few simple modifications. and we praise you, and never give true recognition to developers: ejmp Achotjan with her​​, "SEMC debrand engine" rom what we could carry more we asked (the lock screen xperia s) and there appeared another, and took their work and put their name and we did: no recognition and no donation to the:
I think today there will be a great loss, expected to release his rom Achotjan: CM9 with an official port of xperia s ice cream.

Hey you wrote "her" instead of "he" or is achotjan a her? I'm not really sure. But would be missed. I really wanted to try out the cm9 planned.

CLOSED.

Good Bye!

I've had my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S for 2 years now. I enjoy having it and I enjoy every ROM, kernel and mods created for this. Thank you all for making the LT18i a wonderful phone. I'm now moving to the Xperia V thread as I bought it as a new phone. For those who is thinking to buy the Xperia V, go for it! It's perfect for me and it will for you. Good bye now.

Get a Z2 for faux123 !
hey guys as you all know I recently got a donated Z2 thanks to @tpcastelli for generously giving his additional Z2 to me for development!
so I have been talking to some more devs and trying my best to get them on-board so that this device community gets the BEST developer support...
one such dev has shown willingness to work on this device! and its non other than the great kernel developer @faux123 !
yes you heard that right! @faux123 is ready and willing to work on this device if the user community can get him a Xperia Z2...
in his own words: "Z2 has a FULL DSP!!! it has amazing speaker from the specs... maybe even better than HTC"
for those who dont know about @faux123 check his work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=3332811&starteronly=1
and his github portfolio:
https://github.com/faux123
how many are willing to pledge donations? what we can do is users can pledge donations and once the target is reached (exact figure to be confirmed yet as the device is not directly available in the US yet) we can start sending in the donations for getting him the Z2!!!
so are you guys interested?
regards,
DooMLoRD

Hi, my name is faux123 and I approve this message
Now with that joke out of the way, here is the serious part:
I want to thank doomloord for creating this thread. This all started via a private conversation when we were talking about the specs for z2. Then we realizes there are some awesome features unique to z2. So in order to fully realize those features I will also need a device in hand to assist doomlord in creating his wondrous kernels.
Again thank you everyone for supporting doomlord and me.

This sounds ****ing ace!! Well, I am not a kernel / ROM developer, but getting two of the most initiative and talented guys together AT the same Xperia device is nothing more than pure, magical enjoyment.
Perhaps I should save money for the Z2 anyway..
Damn that I can't open a donation account thanks to unemployment and some other not-so-good financial things..

I just wait for root with locked bootloader, than i start with my Nano ROM.

Developing kernels is great, but will you try to find a method to backup TA partition? In this case, I can pledge a donation.

Sounds good all being well ill get my device in a few weeks for my upgrade and If you guys believe you can go places with the development of this device then I wouldn't mind contributing.

If I may ask, what kinds of things would be worked on?

I'll donate if anyone can find how to get my Bell Canada C6503 at least rooted haha, this is the most boring phone ever right now, never had a stock phone for so long haha.

Great Combinaton
This looks like a great combinations of developers. You have done amazing work on Sony side and @faux123 has made great contributions on the galaxy and htc side. I have the S5, M8, and Z2. The S5 has great colors but is secondary to the M8 but the M8 just doesn't accomplish all those things IOS users are used to. The M8 is secondary to Z2 and I have only one thing to say about the Z2 ..it is secondary to nothing! It is top Android device period. Top devices in the world are the 5s and Z2, but I am burned out on apple

I'm in for $100

Can you confirm all the Z2 functions are still working after unlocking bootloader?
If yes, I'll unlock mine and I'll do a donation.

I have got reports from various people that starting from the KitKat firmware (on new devices Z1 included), the special functions (like x-reality, etc) do still work after bootloader unlock!
Only that warranty may be void. But I think there is a way to circumvent that too. Just relock bootloader using FlashTool (BLU button) and for anyone checking out will seem that device was never unlocked (unless some one takes TA dump and notices that the DRM keys were wiped clean, doubt anyone in service center will go in depth to check all that)

[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

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!!

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.
