WiFi calling for Orange UK

Orange Network supports WiFi calling from what I understand and is available on some of their Android devices they sell. On the Galaxy S forums they were able to port the app from the orange stock rom to cm7 by copying over some of the libs. Is there anyway to get it running on my DesireZ. The lib files from the Galaxy S version naturally don't work however the desire S also is supported. Any chance of porting the functionality from there? It seems to be a software thing and not hardware dependant.

[think tank][Request] 3.X.X Jellybean kernel for our play.

Currently our beloved xperia play is running the old gingerbread kernel, and development from FXP is about to come to an end for this device. So I made this thread to give our phone the chance to fully support Jellybean. So please anyone who can help is welcome on board. Here are some helpful links to get us started: http://source.android.com http://www.kernel.org http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423009. The last link is an example of what to do to find the UART debugging if needed to build the kernel. May the games begin!

it is not booting yet, but most things are done.

edit: also zeus board isn't supported yet, need to be fixed too

iiri soft is more active on it now than kamarush, and I plan to port it to Zeus. For now he's doing interim updates like 2.6.32.60 which I have also ported to the Play (but has same issues as he does).

Ha, looks like kamarush has deleted it. He's mad.
As I said before though, irii-soft and ExPeacer have continueed work on it. See https://github.com/irii-soft/CAF_android-msm-3.0/
You can see how long/active it is by looking at the commit log. It's not going to come any time soon, if at all. There is still a LOT of work to do. 2.6.32.60 is only *just* working after a lot of his work, because he is removing/refactoring the strange stuff Sony adds in to make it more generic (i.e. his other kernel work will contribute to knowledge of porting 3.x kernel).

just a question:
are You guys working on a new kernel software for the xperia play to make jb functions working etc. ???

Well camera jusf works with a hack, but panorama is broken and touchpad is very buggy.
somethijg that very annoys me is the crash when watching videos.
and what about upcoming android versions...
jb is the last android version, that the fxp team will support on our xperia play, because its really hard work to make jb with our old gb kernels compatible

CM10.0
- latest cm 10.0
- sensors update (all 2011)
- youtube final fix (all 2011)
so youtube will work ok again.
we will get 4.2 (fxp just comfirmed it)
touchpad can be kernel related, but mostly project butter isn't fully working

Nope I believe the play is too old to allow project butter to run (Afaik) so it's not on any JB ROMS for the play

kamarush said he has got it working.
but because of people complaining at him he stopped developing for sony Phone like me (i also stopped since today)

Ok Nick proved me wrong xD
it's a real shame all you guys are getting such abuse it's not on and I don't blame you for jumping ship but again it's a real shame

actually really sad...

Because they are much more "open" than other major OEM's. I'd like to see you name one other recent phone from a major OEM that came preinstalled with Jellybean.
And he didn't say he stopped working on Sony because he didn't like them, but because the users are always complaining. And I know what they mean, it's annoying that people are so obsessed with having kernel 3.x and/or full working native jellybean on their phones that are nearly two years old. If they were really that dedicated and wanting of it, they'd learn something and try to help. Or simply give up on the Sony devices and leave us alone.

CM10.1 is already pretty flawless for me
a fully certified working 4.2.2 AOSP would be even better!

It works for me to, and I love getting nightlies everyday that improve the odd bug..But to have a 4.2.2 that uses the proper binaries that sony cant release allowing us to have a stock experience and still have good battery and 3d performence and gaples playback etc would greatly help aosp for this rom AND fix some bugs for CM with some backwards engineering

[evervolv 4.3] Just for fun

Hey guys.
Since 4.3 is out, I wanted to test it on the x10, since my Wiko Peax is based on mediatek chipset and there's no way of building roms.
So there it is. First as a screen shot, but soon a released version.
For now I don't have any sim card to test if it works, but wifi is working. Same WLOD as for the 4.2 versions ... since I'm still using the 2.6.29 kernel.
Don't expect anything fantastic, it's slow, but nevermind, x10 never dies. ^^

Envoyé depuis mon Xperia X10

Got to fix properly ramdisk, and add recovery and chargermon.
Today I've got to run the famous command that fixes the blinking screen since JB by hand by connecting to adb. So just got to make it clean, and I'll be able to provided the first version. Don't expect this before next Monday. Will only get some time this Week-end

I must admit Android v4.3 on a circa 2009 Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i, would be quite something for show and tell,
I may even risk my perfect GB v2.3.4 configuration just so I can have a screen shot of Android v4.3 running.
[Update]
I read Android v4.4 is mooted to be released in a couple of weeks (maybe mid October)
Should we skip Android v4.3 and go straight to Android v4.4.....
Wouldn't it be a real wheeze if we got Android v4.4 on our XPERIA X10i before is was available for the XPERIA Z or XPERIA Z1

Hi Guys
Here is the new update

Is this a very new update that comes after the .55 update??
And, of course, question no.1: DOES IT FIX THE TOUCHSCREEN PROBLEM?

I will keep saying this but it seems like the Z2 Tab and Z2 Phone have similar firmware and lock outs for Bootloaders. I bet you anything when the Exploit for root is worked out for one itll also work on the other!!!

Have Sony got something against Wi-Fi, how come we are still stuck on .36 for 512 models?

I suspect / hope that Sony recognized the touchscreen problems which are now (are they??) fixed in the. 69 version. So most probably they decided to leave out the .55 FW for the WiFi model and will soon release the .69 one.
But, how ever it may be: I can only repeat over and over that the information politics of Sony (and other companies) is outrageous and absolutely unacceptable. There must be more protest against such practices.
