My experience with AOSP 2.1 v004

You can see a massive speed up with AOSP
Games are smoother
Loading times are faster
Finally i feel like my x10 is working for me instead of against me.
The disabled video decoder does make the cpu use alot more battery watching video.
Once the Dual touch driver comes to light we will be in heaven.
Now if i could only find a deep black theme.

Notice anything not working? I'm trying to decide if I want to learn everything I need to do to install this.

Shouldn't this be in the dev forum?

I'm going to wait until the next update to hopefully iron out the rest of the bugs and errors.
MT will be amazing.
Will the custom 2.2 rom ever be ready for normal use?

Perhaps, but I think it's appropriate in here without adding any clutter. I certainly appreciate the review. Despite loosely following the main thread myself, it's challenging to deal with all the scattered posts trying to troubleshoot, report problems, etc. I hope the mods can leave it here.

Likewise, the only thing stopping me using the ultralight version of AOSP 2.1 is the dial out loop. I am hanging for Jerpelea to get it sorted

It sucks!

Dude, calm down. It's more or less of a proof of concept. The devs made this very clear. Absolutely no one has any right to make a complaint whatsoever.
The devs don't owe anything to anyone.

xperia x8 multitouch

Anyone knows if x8 can support multitouch. Is it hardware limitation or just software stupidity of SE?

While I was reading x10 news about multitouch, the article basically said the phone developers themselves had to "hack" the phone and enable it via software.
Basically if I understood it correctly from the article, the hardware is flagged as "non supportive", while it can be enabled via software.
That above ^ makes no sense, so I'd just say it's a software issue.

Excuse me for being upfront, but you'll have to change your slogan in that mini "campaign"
The whole intention of them not updating software is most likely to just force you to buy new versions of mobile phones you already have ( x10 -> arc, x8 -> some new phone that'll come in 2011 ).
So it's all the same for them if you stick to your x8 for example, as the only thing they're attempting to do here is to force you to buy a new mobile phone - if you don't succumb to it, they don't give a flying **** cause you'll be stuck on a outdated, non-updating platform, and it's in your best interest to get off it if you're at least a bit of a tech savvy individual.
Also, people who stick with Sony Ericsson brand since their first phone ( such as myself, from old Ericsson t20e 'till newest x8 ), is their main market. No matter how bad service is, I won't change my mobile phone brand, as it's something I've gotten used to ever since I was 8 ( 13 years later, still using the same brand ), and same goes for many many users out there who don't need tech stuff like most of us here on xda want.
At least that's my point of view on it.
Sad really, but heh :\ Anyway, sorry for derailing the thread, and I signed up on facebook for the 2.2 support.

if is for X10, so it's will be for X8 also

@refract : I dont know.I think I will never buy a SE again if they dont publish new updates like 2.2+ for SE X8 because for exp : If I buy a new SE mobile next year,maybe will there again no updates for it -.-

Next phones will have better updates schedule.

Not quite. X8 doesn't have the same cypress chip as Arc, so cypress is not 32 point MT capable. However, it might be, that it will be easier to create real MT for cypress than it is for synaptic.
And as for the camera... you can hardly find any other phone within this price range that has a camera without autofocus, and X8 has none

Two forumers have disassembled their phone, and they said it has "cy8ctma340" chip (one of them made a photo that is clearly says it's true). Check Cypress' homepage, and you'll be brightened

One more time, but this will be the last one, because I'm getting tired of this:
X8 has two types of digitizer:
One is the Synaptics (phones wich produced before April has got these), and one is the Cypress type (phones produced AFTER March). So, I'm talking obut the cypress. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, I read a lot and searched a lot about this!

I never doubted for a second you know what your talking about nor did I suggest other wise, I'm guessing most people have the old type and i know doixanh and blagus have the old type (from there posts), so assuming a good few dev's have the old type that is going slow down development for your multi/dual touch.
It does however, seem strange that SE would change the hardware.

Yeah, I know it. Don't tell me
Sure, I haven't believed my eyes too when I saw the photo of the cypress chip. But it's clear for me now why SE put this type of digitizer in the newer X8s (BTW they've changed the screen too, not just the digitizer, _I_think_. It have more contrast ), and I explained it in an other thread, but I forgot in which.
Oh, and sorry about I was so harsh!

Yes! we don't need official rom,, custom roms are more better

Who needs a official ROM now?

I think custom rom especially gingerdx rom is much more better than the official one. It faster and smooth like hell..^^
X8 with gingerdx v11, [email protected], supercharger v6, fast reboot, quadrant score more than 1100++..^^
Thank Doixanh!!!

if sony release 2.3 it will be helpful for our dev. they can take lib from it..

I Lol'd. This is the first time I saw a inaccurate info in GSMarena. But even there is really a 2.3 stock ROM. I'll try it but I expect I'll go back to GingerDX after a few hrs.

I'd say that chances of ICS coming to our X8's are slim to none. Don't get me wrong, I'd want ICS on my phone more than anything, but hear me out. Recently, Zdzihu managed to port ICS for the X10i. According to him,
[WORKING]
- it boots
- radio, calls, txt (sms)
- audio partially working (in-call is fine, playing mp3/ringtones leads to WLOD)
- bluetooth, GPS seem to work
- wifi almost working (“can’t find wlan0 device”)
- mobile data (it gets IP but disconects afterwards, needs investiagtion)
[NOT WORKING]
- most of the stuff does not work
- quite unstable
This is the X10 we're talking about. If it isn't even perfected or completed on the far (hardware) superior X10, how can we even hope for it to be usable on X8. But hey, who am I to talk, i ain't even a dev. I'm just a fat lazy 14 year old on his X8. I mean, they said the X8 and X10 couldn't handle Gingerbread (initially) but look how far the x8 and x10 dev's have come
