I finally made the decision to buy an arc. Wasn't easy to stop using my x10, tbh, and I still can't bear to sell it. This post is just a thankyou to everybody who made the x10 what it is, i.e. J, Z, WB, Trip, rdannar, kx hawkins, cobrato, rendeiro et al. Only J is properly deving atm with CM7 though the phone is pretty awesome now it's rooted, but I am missing the Rom options... Once again thank you.

Hey man, congrats, if you can't sell your x10, send it this way, mine's dead lol
Good bye buddy! Have fun there! I will wait till the next powerfull quad-core phone that will be released.
I think buying Arc now is not good idea. x10 still rocks. Better wait for next generation device (2 cores maybe?)

So do I.
Arc is nice... but why ? Whats the benefit to a X10i ? Android 2.3.3 ? The Exmor R Sensor isn't ! Adreno 205 ? isnt that much better, and not all people play all day long. ^^ And besides... X10 looks way better than Arc! i just don't like the shape of the buttons....
Thanks a lot to all the Developers who improved the X10i until now, and i hope your gonna make a better 2.3 with custom kernel when its out!

Yeah, too much is going on in the Android scene...
I decided to wait one more year, get the most of my X10 and then move on!
Ditto. Unless my x10 breaks i'll keep it for as long as i can. I've considered a xperia play though, because buttons are essencial for games imo, but maybe i'll wait for the xplay 2.
Edit: many thanks for all devs for tapping on the potential of the x10 and making it better.

Enjoy the new phones guys!
I'm sure you'll love them..
I bet you'll still visit the forums haha
hello everyone...
hope u all are doing great!
as most of u must have realized, recently i am not very active in the X10 device sub-forums... i love this community as X10 was my first true smartphone and this device community has been amazing in all aspects! its like a family... we all have gone thru a LOT, the exciting times of bootloader bypass kernels, GB on X10, hacked bootloader, etc all the drama with delayed updates, Mr Trip, Mr Anderson and the sheer disappointments thanks to SE ... it was a GREAT time for me, as i made many new friends and learnt a lot about android... when i got my X10 i had no clue about android but i learnt stuff thanks to the wonderful ppl of our X10 community...
anyways, i have finally decided to stop my development work on Xperia X10... if anyone is interested in carrying on with my projects feel free to contact me via P.M.... most of the sources i have used (kernel, recovery) are posted at my github account: https://github.com/DooMLoRD
dont worry i am not leaving XDA anytime soon (atleast not in the next 4-5 months)... i am/was actively involved in development for Xperia ARC, PLAY and contribute to development in lots of other device sub-forums... BTW i plan to buy the Sony Xperia S or ION and HTC Zeta or Edge... so if any of u are getting those device then u can find me there soon (once i get those devices)
so this is a goodbye to all my X10 friends, i hope to see u guys around XDA/other places...
here is wishing all of u guys best of luck for u future, may u all have a wonderful and happy life!!!
warm regards,
Rahul (a.k.a. DooMLoRD)
Thank you so much Rahul for everything you have done. You have mentioned it yet what a "special" device the X10 is. So your relentless input and selfless work was so much more important than on other devices imo. You were really sent from heaven, man
But awesome that you mentioned the Xperia S and HTC Ville because when nothing spectacular will happen at MWC one of it will be my new device, too.
Glad to know that there will be at least one kickass dev
I hope you forgive me this offtopic question. But since you have learned so much about developing for Sony devices do you think the Snapdragon S3 in the Xperia S will be future proof? Or do you think that the HTC Ville with its S4 chip will be much better not just in battery consumption but in power as well?
Thanks for everything,
Matt
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
Sad to see you go but your work will not be forgotten!
Don't forget that you can always hang out with us in the general chat section

Snapdragon S4 will be the best solution between the two, but the actual devices may be released/will reach market in second half of the year (june-july 2012) may be even later... thats why i will be buying both the Xperia S & HTC Ville... Xperia S to keep me busy till the S4 chips are released
Well bro i was half expecting this as i had not seen you around for a while.
You know you are a very special friend and i am just happy you are getting the xperia s as i will be joining you and hopefully i can get the forum to moderate so it will be like the good old days.
Our X10 forum will always be indebted to you for all your hard work and dedication, thanks bro, it was a great journey.
XPERIA S HERE WE COME
Goodbye Doom,
It would be sad to bid you farewell here since your kernels are absolutely the best ones I have ever used!!
By the way would you get the Nypon (LT22i) as well? Any insight into the st-ericsson novathor chipset?
Thank you sir for all ur awesomeness
Hopefully we will be in same forum again in future
Best of luck
Missing ur kernels

Nypon is from what I have heard targeted at mid-high end segment...
Novathor will be an interesting platform, but I personally prefer Qualcomm Snapdragon platform, raw powerful CPU core... NovaThor has a good selection of gpu core, though not sure how powerfully r the CPU cores... I am more interested in what the A9600 chips have to offer (next gen novathor)...

There are only a handful of x10 owners that EVERYONE respected/admired and simply sincerely liked, and you Rahul, are one of those handful.
You will definitely be missed by all.
All the best for the future, and i'm sure most of us will bump into each other over the next year or two on these forums. It's a small world
Take care mate,

Thanks for all of your hard work, it's very much appreciated. You contributed to making my phone feel like a smartphone and not a piece of **** slow as crap 10 year old phone.

Stages of griefooMLoRD Bye to X10 friends
SHOCK!: No it can't be happening. I don't believe it!
ANGER!: You can't be doing this to us. "You too Brutus?"
ACCEPTANCE: The X10 has to go someday; with the brilliant and great developers associated with it on its XDA forum.
RESOLUTION: I finally got me an Samsung Galaxy SII and impatiently waiting for an "ice cream" treat.
DooMLoRD thanks for EVERYTHING that contributed to make the X10 still a great torchbearer for android phones. SE (now SONY) will be foolish not to invite your expertise.
I see you are never going to change your forum name but to me you will remain HoPELoRD
I've been a little inactive lately, but that's because my HTC Sensation has been taking up my time
Thanks for all your hard work DooMLoRD. Just to reiterate what LJE said, you are one of the people here that everyone sincerely liked and respected. Good luck with your next project.
Sorry mods if this is a wasted post. I promise not to do it again. But I am super excited about my Z1 arriving next week. I was a former Verizon user days away from ordering a Droid Maxx when I learned about this waterproof beast of a phone. It was enough to make me ditch my unlimited 4g (selling on ebay). I'm excited to root this thing and start participating in the discussions here. Its great to see this level of support here. I've been looking over the sticky guides so I think I am caught up on the rooting process and what not.
So, is there anything else I should know or prepare for upon receiving this phone? Looking forward to chatting with you all.
welcome man, z1 is a great phone, perfect design

Welcome aboard and whatever you do, do not unlock it for now (and atleast do a TA-Backup). And if you're wondering why or what I'm talking about, do some more reading
Welcome, sent mine back a few days ago because my screen has a yellow hue (and the .257 update didn't fix it, should be getting a new unit in a week or so).

Also get a front and back screen protector and put it on the minute it comes out of the box.
For some reason unbeknownst to mankind, the people at Sony thought it necessary to laminate the scratch resistant Dragontrail glass with a satanic scratch prone plastic film.
They completely ****ed it up to be honest.
Yest soft lint will seemingly scratch it so make sure you cover both sides if you hate nasty scratches.

Just got my Xperia Z1 to replace for Nexus 5 32gb today. Much better than any phone I have ever used before.
I also bought a case to protect it and Apple earpods for high music quality.

Awesome, but LOL at apple earpods for high music quality. The in-box sony earpods sounds far better imo.
Also just saying Hi
Hey Guys
I don't normally do this but I'm SOOOOO excited about getting this phone that I also want to say Hi I should be receiving my Z1 tomorrow or Tuesday! It's an upgrade on my cellular contract :victory: Actually its the first time that I will be getting a current flagship device. I have been an avid Samsung supporter (old device is a Galaxy S2) but because of Samsung's unwillingness and flat out refusal to support the development community it has made me despise them to the nth degree! I will never, ever in my life get another Samsung device ever again! I originally wanted a Nexus 5 but South Africa does not (and it seems will never) provide the Nexus devices (tablets yes, but phones, no). They used too but stopped after the Galaxy Nexus. Trust me, a lot of people are unhappy about that in this country.
Anyway, the next option was Sony Z1 and to be honest, quite frankly I think I would have gone for the Sony anyway as this device is a MONSTER phone! The specs are outstanding and it will definitely be a top tier device for at least the next 2 years until my next upgrade. LOL, to be honest after Codworks and Entropy's praise of Sony, was the final deciding factor for me. I hope Samsung reads this because they lost a loyal customer and the dev community does indeed influence peoples choices, albeit the minority that we are but still, I have spread my hate wings of Samsung far and wide and have even influenced others not to buy them or go with their devices. Anyway, enough with the rants, I'm wiping my feet off on Samsung and that's that.
So proud to be a part of the Z1 community now! I know this device does have issues with unlocking the bootloader and breaking the camera but it has just recently being released so I'm pretty confident Sony will sort it out (as it is their flagship device after all!)
I never flash any of my phones with custom firmware or even stock from a different region until I have done extensive research on the device, so don't expect any silly questions from me as it will be a while until I know I am confident in what I am doing.
Anyway, hope you guys have an awesome day and I'm so exited I don't think I can even sleep well tonight!!

Hehe cute post, I'm happy for you! :good:
You should root it though, it doesn't need unlocked BL for that. And yea, Samsung is a no no from now on.
It had a display defect since I had it under water recently. Maybe the Seal around the Display was was defective, after 1,5 years, because there was water between the glas and the Display...
I sent it to Sony Repair Center here in Germany and hoped they would repair it without complaining, but was very surprised: After just 5 Days including shipping and a Weekend, I got a message that my Device would be an its way back to me now. One day later, it was here.
And what shall I say: I got a new Z2!
I want to thank Sony for their great support. Now I'm confident more than ever before, that it was a great decision to buy a Sony smartphone. Next will be an Xperia Tablet.
Finally I have to say goodbye to Z1 Forums and thanks for the great support - hello Z2 Forums

As I wrote above, the Z1 it was 1,5 years old, so yes, it was within the two years warranty.
It was rooted before, but not now, as I just upgraded to Lollipop. The bootloader was never unlocked.
Besides of this, I don't think, they checked any software. They probably just saw the display- and maybe some more defects and decided that it was cheaper to give me a new one than repairing and replacement parts would be...
Congrats
Sony did a good service .
It seems that they listen well to their customers.
The Z was problematic, the Z1 good, the Z2 & Z3 some problems with screen & water.
Lets watch the Z4 & Z5.
Go Sony, Go:thumbup:
