[NEWS] X8 officially supported by CyanogenMod !!

The CyanogenMod and FreeXperia team is happy to announce CyanogenMod support for multiple Xperia™ devices.
Users of Sony Ericsson devices have been left out of the CyanogenMod experience for a while now. We are happy to announce that users will be able to enjoy a full-fledged CyanogenMod with nearly full hardware support (we are still working on FM radio) starting in our next release. You can also expect nightly builds and more instructions soon.
Supported XPERIA™ handsets:
2010 phones:
- Xperia X10
- Xperia X8
- Xperia X10 Mini
- Xperia X10 Mini Pro
2011 phones:
- Xperia Arc
- Xperia Neo
- Xperia Mini
- Xperia Mini Pro
- Xperia Play
- Xperia Ray

Andreas Makris (Bin4ry), Diogo Ferreira (defer) and Alin Jerpelea (jerpelea, FXP) will be maintaining these devices from now on.
We would like to stress that work on the 2011 lineup would not have been possible without the strong involvement of Sony Ericsson with the developer community. In addition to providing unlockable bootloaders to all new devices, they provided us both with devices and technical expertise that proved invaluable in making all this happen.

OH
oh finaly something awesome... without any bugs OR BATTERY eating roms!

Guys, come and say thank to jerpelea (or FXP) and FreeXperia Team, or buy them some beers. He's been working very hard to be able to merge our Xperia series to CM.
It is still early in development, so many things still need to be done before our nightlies can be officially built.

Whats the advantage of this?

uhm. we will get our own nightly build? I think so.

This is a good news for everyone, wew.. haha...
Hope this will keep running and "WISHING GET A ICE CREAM SANDWICH because i want it" haha... Keep waiting.... (But why the blogs of cyanogenmod doesn't update our phone??)

have you read the post from the link ?
"you may be interested in knowing that the upcoming CyanogenMod release will feature support for 10 new devices"
just wait for the release

whats the diference between CM and gingerDX? does it have more stuff? faster? batterybug-less? or is it just a great news because it means better support for ours X8s?

Upcoming? 7.2 or earlier? Cant wait

yes some one please tell me the advantages of this?
does this mean a fully stable cm7 rom?

it meens more advanced developers working together to make there own CM version

If I understood dx well, our FXP's rom will be officially supported by CyanogenMod and will get all the official updates as soon as possible.
Or CyanogenMod devs and FXP will build it together?
Anyway, great news and be patient... we have everything now

Sorry for the noob question, but I can't perfectly understand...
What to mean "official"? Its a CM7 upgrade from Cyanogenmod, and its a "Custom" ROM? Or CM team works together with SE, and everyone can upgrade to CM7 with the SE PC Companion?
(I think ist a Cyanogen upgrade...)

Wow, it keeps on getting better for us

12.0.A.2..254 kernel sources

Maybe I missed some annoucement... does anyone know if Sony will release sources for 12.0.A.2.254?
Seems to me that development for custom kernels (like Doomlord's) have stalled because there are no sources available.

As I understand it they have no choice but to release the kernel source as it's linux and the licensing requires that it be made available. That said, the proprietary blobs for the cameras, wifi, etc. aren't generally licensed the same way so they don't normally get released, at least in source form.

I've requested Sony to provide the source and they will do that really soon

Nice! :good: :fingers-crossed:
Just out of curiosity:
I had an Xperia Arc. My perception was that Sony released the kernel sources (including proprietary modules and everything else which is necessary to build a working custom kernel) relatively quickly and without anyone asking for it. Has this policy changed, did they just forget in case of the Xperia SP/.254 kernel sources or did I just perceive this wrong?

Probably not, the kernel used for 10.1is not related to the Sony kernels as I ported the drivers to a newer kernel version. We already have any changes that may be in the 2.254 kernel and more. (I didn't notice any changes to the Sony drivers).

Finally had a chance to look at them as I got home from work only just before...
Just left my computer to push them today so didn't get a chance to check them but adfad666 is right and not much actual changes changed though which are useful for us.
Just some general CAF / kernel updates so not too important.
A panel driver was updated but I'm doubt we we will use it as our kernel is not based off stock.
Probably not. . Let's wait for 4.3 kernel from Sony as it will be worth rebasing off that

Thanks for the link to sources....

NEW: 14.3.A.0.757 is rolling out

New update (14.3.A.0.757) now rolling to Xperia Z1, Z Ultra and Z1 Compact; fixes KitKat sound bug issue
Sony is now rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat bug-fix, just as it had promised last week. Firmware build 14.3.A.0.757 replaces the previous KitKat build (14.3.A.0.681) and fixes the sound bug issue which frustrated many. The issue related to sounds from the handset being played through the internal, rather than the external speaker.
The update is rolling out across all variants of the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 Compact. We have included a list of regions where it has currently hit right now, however expect this to broaden over the coming days. If you’ve downloaded it, let us know if it fixes all of the issues you’ve had with the new KitKat build.

This is a new build for the Zultra and Z1 family, placed today:
Will it resolve the Kitkat bugs?

It's very easy to install. Download and unpack the archive. Install your favorite compiler (gcc, clang or something else). Compile binaries from source. Build one ftf from binaries and install it on your phone. Vualya, you have new firmware installed.
Seriously, its only source and nothing else, its not firmware.

It's just the opensource code
You still need all the sony private drivers and software.

yes,hradware&HAL drivers along customization for each phones.can be ported from previous releases,there is no huge structural differences between 4.3 and 4.4

Shared this link in the Doomkernel thread, so Doom himself can analyze the .tar package and see if it is anything improved / new in those sources or just like the previous KitKat ones..

It's already available in some region !

official cm12 for yuga ?!!

hey
u know nightly builds available on cm download site for 1 to almost 7 days.
today update cm11 via cmupdate (in phone 19/4/15) but thats version isn't available in download site/
maybe its mean official cm12 ceremony for yuga in next days !!!
(then why 19/4/2015 version not available for web download?)
hope see them soon

Just like that? I dont think so.......

Official or unofficial it doesn't matter... Yuga developers in xda are doing very good work

Isn't Xperia Z too old to have official builds? Just abandoned....?

Old doesn't imply that it's not capable of running lollipop.
In fact it has enough HP.

well when google released 5.1 they added native dualsim support as far as i remember there used to be 2 builds for our phone on 5.0 (one for dualsim and the other for single) but with 5.1 released we started to get unified builds due to native dualsim support on 5.1

MultiSim support has been added into kitkat 4.4
Google improved it in 5.0/5.1
And they just provide UI support multisim so you won't get multisim working without the msim framework
Moto still providing different build for single and multisim devices

one thing, Is posible make a port of a ROM for this page http://en.miui.com/thread-151469-1-1.html for our Moto G?

i guest yes but if nobody will do this work is usseles without feedback, CM buils are good and with lots of feedback

Actually, nobody will work with it because it needs a lot of hard work, and there's no free dev avaliable to such task. The closest this community approached from MIUI was v6, which can be accessed here. Ps: RIL doesn't work.

To build a ROM we need the sources. I couldn't find any sources for LP. On there githun there is only kk so no it will not be possible at all.
