[Q] X8 Multitouch?

Hello!
My question is simple: How can I get Multitouch feature on my X8?

The Answer is simple, too: You can't get it.

The hardware supports it (IIRC). Sony just needs to update the software to support it.

Thanks, I hope they will do this quickly!

Well, they appear to be doing it to the X10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777415
Hopefully they will bring this to the X8.

You are wrong, as X10 will get it, X8 will get it too,as the the screens are alike.

With 1.6 und 2.1 there is NO Multitouch support.

Because of this, sony could bring an update out at any moment to allow multi-touch.

Think main question is whether or not SE choose to keep the x10 "more exclusive" by not enabling double-touch on the x8.
On the x10 minis, you can hardly fit 2 fingers on the screen anyways

You could be right. But the X10 is nothing fantastic anyway, I don't see what they have to loose by enabling multi-touch on the X8.

But the question is, does HTC Wildfire have the exact same touch display as X8? Because that's what important, not the android version.

Even dual-touch will be good enough for me, so it depends on SE when they will release the update...
Damnit.

I've heard that both x8 and x10 have "only one layer of the capacitor screen, so multitouch can't be real for them", but I don't know if that's true. I hope not.

Guess what, we-ve got semi-pinchzoom now :>

We should open the x8 to see the chip, and compare it to the WildFire's chip.
I think that they will be the same more or less.
ByTheWay Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is an older phone than the x8.
Sony Ercisson is a capitalistic pig.
Well Xperia Arc or so called x12 has dualtouch only.
I'll go for the Desire HD, Galaxy S or Iphone 4 rather than the Xperia Arc.
Well if they decide to enable multitouch to the Xperia x8- win on both sides.

Multi- or dual-touch depends on touch digitizers, not chip. There's someone working on a kernel module that can enable a limited verion of pinch-to-zoom.
None of the makers of smartphones are in it for the goodwill. They're all capitalist organisations out there to make money for their shareholders. To say that x10 is older than x8 will be to compare a jaguar from 2 years back with a new ford fiesta of today.

Go to Custom Kernel in Development Section, there, we talk about custom kernel with Multi/Dual Touch

That can't be possible there are already multitouch kernels out there for the x10 but im not sure about the x8 il look it up for u

Xperia acro

Hey, I was checking SEUS moments ago as I am going to install official firmware to my father's X8 and my eye caught a phone called Xperia acro (IS11S). I've never heard of it though. What are your thoughts?

I´ve serached for it, and it seems to be a new phone that was leaked by Sony in April.
There are videos available on youtube.

Will we get this OS in Xperia S?

It depents. Is there anyone interested in working to port this for Xperia S? You can try asking people in the Xperia S forum and linking the HADK there, or even try porting this yourself.

I'd have thought development of Sailfish ROMs for Xperia devices would best best be focused on what are or will be the most popular ones.
That is:
Z1
Z1 Compact
Z3
Z3 Compact
Z3 Compact particularly is likely to be a really big seller. Indeed, looking at the market now, both Z3 and Z3C will likely sell way more than the Z, Z1 & Z2 series.

Can someone explain what this means? To someone who isn't sure what a kernel is.

Well, it basically means that soon we should see custom ROMs and kernels for this amazing phone.

That would be nice - but as i understand : the drivers for the modem and for the cam are missing -
If someone has better information - that would be fine

Now if only Sony would be kind enough to provide a way to at least backup the DRM of the device before it gets permanently lost when unlocking the boot loader.

Time to time

Oh noes! Is that really true? What's the point of only going half way open source?
I'm really dying for an AOSP ROM for our great little phone.

Am I missing something? The article you linked to is from back in June...and I don't see anything about the Z3 or Z3 Compact.

Great I'm not in a hurry, made a promise to myself only to make a purchase if and then when the AOSP source became available. Still happy with my M2S

Same here, I'll follow this thread and the whole Z3C forum for custom ROMs and buy one of these as soon as they become available. I'd like all the camera features, though...
I'm kind of bugged with the size of phones increasing year after year. I've got a SGS4, and I wouldn't mind having a smaller phone with the same battery size that could give me more "screen on" time. The Z3C seems to have everything I want, but I'm not just ready yet to give up custom ROMs.
Cheers!

Appears like VGA on 1080p displays

As you can read, this bootanimation is 720p. What did you expect on 1080p displays?

Might be missing something, but it skips for me, (z1c). Seems like it gets halfway through, then jumps back to beginning of loop. I like the look, though. Thanks
