Okay! newest version of Android 4.4 has been released and its the most feature packed Android yet! as always
things! we as X8 user need to NOTE is the latest iteration of the Android has been super optimized
and able to run on a phone with lesser Resources that than JellyBean has to require, possible on a phone
with minimum RAM of 512MB, but we X8 user magically able to run Jellybean unofficially in form of CM10 created by our legends
that requires more resources than current KitKat. If we look at the X8's resources and side by side comparison
between Jellybean and KitKat, Theoretically we able to run KitKat much faster,smoother,responsive in our X8.
So if all the previous great and experienced developer hands on X8 again could we enjoy KitKat inside this
tiny device and extends its Development Community life?
or
JellyBean is the last for X8
it's not possible becasue Xperia X8 is too old and too weak for android 4.4 KitKat and there is someone to be finished built rom and kernel in my opinion.
Ya I agree x8 is too old, but in my opinion if we have the great past developer's and vibrant community again, we eventually could get it since logically 4.4 is very lightweight compared to current jelly bean, even galaxy nexus don't get Android 4.4 but anything possible in development community

1st of all an experienced developer who can work on the rom like nAa!
2nd - a kernel (something like the performance of alfs kernel) from good sources.
3rd -many people have ditched their x8. i still have it. so the remaining people should become testers.
I have played with kitkat and it is just awesome!!!

Yes we have great developers but, can not work as a team that was able to work together.
Sorry to say, but now we have great and RETIRED developers. All developers who made significant things in the x8 section now not working or working with newer phones. nAa and dx stopped everything, alfs looks like also inactive, daveee10 busy with his real work (and he have a galaxy s3, so probably he will not return).
Only few member try to make something new (for example afi1982 try to build 4.2, but not 4.4), and few modders active now...
I have Xperia Z and if I don't manage to get cm10.1 on our beloved x8 then it's time for me to move on..
In my opinion ĆM10.1 is to high for X8, whe have ĆM10 and it's TOO MUĆH really. Better save some money and buy phone like Xperia J, it's better idea than waste time for dev for legendery phone and dusted phone in old users

i noticed that on other phones like Galaxy Grand and others. Android 4.2.2 is way faster and smoother than 4.2.1 .
Please provide the rom soon. MINICM7 though fast , is really boring.
Also which kernel are you using it with? and how much free ram are you getting? I hated 4.2.1 keyboard because it always showed a pop up when adding words. I hope 4.2.2 doesnt have that problem.
I'd like to help with testing working builds

Afi bro! You doing really great job now even 10.1 is possible for Xperia x8, my point is if a Jellybean able to run on X8 why not the super optimised KitKat which requires lesser RAM than Jellybean. I know really need lot's of hard coding, and kernel modifications. But it's that KitKat running in a newer Linux kernel?

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?

I will remain in this forum till october...
I'll be on the x8 forums til October or December, unsure where I'll go.

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

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!

J is the 10th letter. CM10. That's how ALL cyanogenmod builds are named.
Edit: and jb is 4.1, it's not a new platform, just an "update" you could say so expecting it to look much different is just well stupid.

hi all,
here a few things (didn't test myself, but i heard it from other devs)
it will use less ram
it is VERY smooth (scrolling, everything thanks to butter)
games will probably run better
and more ofcourse
and i thing: maybe sony will give it to us because it is faster it requires less ram (ics= 1024mb jb=512mb like the play has)
and it will be better for gaming!!!!

We only have CM9 now.
Don't think it will even be possible, as project butter only works on screens that support 60fps, and the X10's screen can only do 30.

woww...nice project to heard...but my X10...dead already....huhuhu
You can of course uncap the x10 framelimit to 59-60fps.
That or butter could be modified to work for 30fps, but I'd wager that's the long and unecessary route to take...

exactly, this is reason why Im asking. I have x8 with cm10 but is a bit laggy because x8 have much lower HW like x10. cm9 runs good on x10 so I think cm10 will run good too.
cm9 isn't running too good either to be honest

I bought my xperia z and I just loved it..but now after using it for some months I am dissapointed..theres no developer support yet..no good kernels no good roms..performance issues in games such as iron man 3 and little bit about the camera too..but theres no going I have to use it for atleast couple of years hope till then the developers turn towards the xperia z and make it one of the best device..
Note:- just to clear m not really that dissapointed by the hardware its just the support the XZ not geeting..so m not a Sammy or HTC fan but yes I was immpressed by the HTC one its a great device..

What more development do you want to see, the Doomkernel is great there's 2 dif AOSP/4,2 kernels
Really when I was deciding for a kernel for my ARC, I just went with the best boot logo, why? THEY ALL DID THE SAME THING.

Tl;dr :we don't need 200 kernels that do the same thing. I'd rather have a team working on a super kernel, like krabbapels (Carbon team)

It's a very expensive device do you think it's affordable by everyone? The Nexus is quite more old than this one and the fact that they have the same processor might help to port things to this one. If you wanted a phone with lots of devs you should have gone for the Nexus then.
Also the fact that the Sony firmware are really well done makes it difficult to improve anything than just adding gimmicks.
PS. For not being a troll, your last sentence from the op looks quite trolling to me.

I Purchased this phone to try to get away from flashing a new ROM/Kernel every few days, and I'm not really sure the phone's software needs too much in my opinion.
I'm not saying it's perfect but straight out of the box this phone is pretty good.
If you do wan't to flash lots of mods buy a Nexus device! You will never get the same dev support outside the Nexus community.
I just hope Sony doesn't make me regret buying this phone with their slow update scheme.

Yes the Carbon team is developing for their own kernel ans Rom, I think its 8 members.
And f.y.i you shouldn't compare Z with Nexus4. Compare it with HTC1/GS4. They're in same price & release Range.
I think there's somewhat less of threads, but when you look at the actual topics. What so they have that we don't.
I want some optimisations..I dont think that the software is.optimized..for ex iron man 3 lags alot on the XZ dont know if its the game problem.or some thing with the XZ and I dont know about other phones like GS4 or HTC1 as I dont care about them I care about what I have..I want my Z to play every game out there as I think the hardware is.capable of playing them..

And 1 hour later you're sure that it's the game and not the phone... that goes fast, I think you just don't know what you want.
I came from the Galaxy Note and there were a lot more custom roms that right, but you're only thinking at one thing:
More options.
More roms doesn't have to mean that things will be optimized, many times it's just a GUI difference, if you just want that why not invest your time learning UCCW the possibilities are endless and the good thing is that you can use the same setup on almost every phone, you can't do that with custom roms.
The biggest downside for me:
Example: Lets say you install Custom rom X made by developer Y, what happens when Developer Y buys another phone and decides not to do anything anymore with Custom rom X, that means no more bug fixes and you're stuck with a rom that isn't supported anymore.
The more custom roms the more chances of that happening.
What do you think about the new android version. In my opinion, it's great , with better UI( if the leaked photos are true) , less RAM usage and new kernel. What do you think about the S2? Will Samsung update our phone ? In my opinion Samsung will not update the S2 or the Galaxy Ace or Mini...

No they will not update our phone. And im also not too sure about new kernel. We do have dorimanx kernel which is light years ahead of most kernels... We have 3.12.rc1 while the Nexus have 3.4?
I don't thing Samsung will just think about updating the S2

But updating it will not benefit Samsung

I think you may be misunderstanding the sites. They say its possible for 4.4 to run on our device. No updates mentioned.

Our S2 is getting old.. And i'm not sure that it will can run 4.4 as good as it run 4.2.2.
4.4 is made for less ram usage... Some sites say Ace can run it... Ace has 278 mb of RAM

Source ?
S2 will run it
Samsung will not update it
Cyanogen will port it
Everithing will be ok except the fact that samsung will not give another update for s2 even 4.2.2 or 4.3 ... why they should think about 4.4?

4.2.2 and 4.3 are full of bloatware...that's why our s2 can't run it....in fact 4.4 will be slimmer...Most of the sites, say that android 4.4 will be released in October 14, which in my case is tomorrow....

Huh I find no issue with 4.2.2, its the best thing yet! We have spent so much time optimzing 4.2.2 that it is so stable and usable. Fast forward to 4.3 which is much newer we have spent much less time on it so for sure it is not as good. However I dont understand which part of either these versions, 4.2.2 or 4.3 is bloated care explaining? Even if Android 4.4 has so called less RAM usage and kernel improvements it would not really matter to us. Take kernel changes for example. We can't just port AOSP code and use it for our devices correct? Remember the time when we only had official 4.0 and 4.1 was released by Google. Everybody wanted Project butter. Due to Sammy not giving us official 4.1 and its source code on time (thank god they actually gave the source code..) we would never have gotten close to full project butter experience which we still lack fully. So if Sammy does not give us what we need then we can use 4.4 without its so called perks like "less RAM usage"
Yeah 4.4 should have lower hardware requirements. However, it doesn't matter because our exynos device still lacks proper drivers. That's worsen by the fact that we currently have no Galaxy S2 devs left working on CM to port new android versions to our device

The bloated versions are Samsung's ones... Pure Android is not bloated

Yes I know that. But our phone has no problem running 4.2.2 or 4.3 that are AOSP based...... So whats the purpose of this thread anyway.... Cus Sammy has no intention of ever updating this phone to a higher version...

This OmniRom thing might help when you look at the people running it

Untill now, the S2 is running is able to run 4.3.1 and 100% it will able to run 4.4
Samsung adds a lot of bloatware to their official roms which make the device slow
that's why I never use stock rom
Yea but what about cool features like multi window smart functions and motion ?
If this doesn't mean smth for you .... what about drivers? 4.2/4.3 have a lot of glitches with graphics and cuz samsung dont release exynos source code our beloved s2 will die one day in a near future
