Dear all, especially to Xperia SP owners,
I am (We are) starting this thread to find support from users to get a device for a recognised developer, kernel guru; DooMLoRD. Contribution are used solely for this purpose; getting hardware to improve and extend support for Xperia SP M35H; such as kernel development, root, recovery or others.
This thread is also a continuation from Facebook Group SONY XPERIA SP : Development and Discussion
The discussed topic read as the following:
so a few users on XDA approached me if I would be working on DooMKernel for the Xperia SP...
just to be clear the Xperia SP has a different board (viskan){msm8960t} compared to the rest of the devices which i have:
fusion3 - apq8064 -> Z [ZL, Tab Z]
blue - msm8960 -> T [V, TX]
fuji - msm8660 -> S [SL, Ion, Acro S]
I dont have the devices in [] brackets but they have same board as the one I have and hence it becomes easier to support them..
since this device is different than the ones I have, unless I have device with me to do testing I cannot support it...
so this is what I want to know... would the Xperia SP user community here be willing to donate a device to me for working on it?
regards,
DooMLoRD
The device (Xperia SP) currently costs about USD450 / INR24,000 / MYR1299.

M in for it....
i m in! but where to donate??
you could pm Doomlord directly
I would like to put the details here but i am afraid that's against the forum rules
Was just browsing around in the forums and I saw this. Bounty threads are allowed, but those who are higher up look down upon them. Also, it'll be more encouraging if Doomlord himself posts in this thread and agreeing what is said. It makes others feel more confident.

as i myself posted it on the Facebook group page before XDA alloted the Xperia SP users a separate sub-forum...
Thanks Doomlord and hasoon2000.
I must admit that I am relatively new here and has no reputation at all. However I've discussed with several users including Doomlord himself to start a thread for this purpose. I believe Doomlord himself has a reason not to start this thread by himself. This will show that this
thread is genuinely from the users that need support for their device (Xperia SP).
To kickstart, I am willing to fund 10% of the cost of the device.
So I'll put a list for funder/donator in the main post so that everyone can see the progress of this project.
Small contribution is not a problem!
I am in!

No worries. Just wanted to give you my input on it since I've seen quite a few of these before. Also, I'll pitch in $5. Just PM me when the number has been reached and I'll send it his way.
I can personally vouch for Doomlord since I used to use his recoveries in my early days of the toolkits I make! Great guy and great dev!
Many thanks hasoon2000!
I'm willing to donate $5 for the cause. PM me when the number has been reached and I'll send it.
I will buy XSP soon. So I am contributing $10 to this cause
Count me in too. But I don't know why both of the recognised developers for Sony : DoomLord and Rachit left the Facebook group.
i can donate $10 but don't know how to pay via HDFC debit card or internet banking.

Rikard Skogberg @ SonyEricsson, who is also the writer of the blog @ http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/ said that SonyEricsson are really hearing what we, the users, have to say about the products. He say that the users opinion has a big impact inside the company, or at least that was what he said only 2 days ago.
So my thought was to make a petittion in order to try and open SonyEricssons eyes up, and try to get them to understand that we really want them to release the bootloaders for our Xperia phones.
The reason for making the pettition here is that YOU have to be logged in to sign it, not like the SonyEricsson blog that anybody can sign 1000 times if they want...
And we can easy link to this forum when we have a lot of signatures, to show SonyEricsson the result...
So now, keep this pettition clean, no hard words or nothing bad about SonyEricsson nor the whole delay and 2.1/2.2 issue, this thread is not what this is all about.
If you want to mark me or flame me for trying this, then PM me, or start a new tread instead !
I don´t think this have been tried before, but if it has then pleace show me a link to a bunch of signatures, so we can show it to Rikard Skogberg and SonyEricsson.
Rikard Skogberg have said earlyer that not even 18.000+ signatures could make them give us Android 2.2 instead of 2.1, and that can be a marketing issue.
He have not said anything about them not giving up the bootloaders if we ask nice ?
And reading what he said two days ago, things look like they have changed a little in the company since May.
Also i don´t think that any one has actually tried this before, so give us your signature in this petittion and lets try this for real if we can convince SonyEricsson to give us the bootloaders...just try...
Just write down your name and what SonyEricsson phone you have, and let´s hope for the bedst.
Hey, it can´t hurt to ask SonyEricsson nice for the bootloaders, can it
To keep this a nice and clean petittion, pleace use this form:
I would really like if SonyEricsson would set our Xperia phones free, and give us the bootloader

Rikard has already stated on the Product Blog that they are not going to do that
Also, when 18k signatures on the Froyo petition went unheard, what makes you think they will look here?
Wouldn't it be better to start it on their blog site?

Umm pretty sure he's referring to these 18700 signatures, which I assume most of us already signed back in May.
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?froyo
Maybe that's where you should set-up your petition. It's a cute thought that they'll release the bootloader (lol yeah right), but it's been asked before and totally rejected. In reality they don't listen to their customers until their sales start to really decline. That's how we'll get their attention with our wallets, unfortunately not through online petitions.
I can't imagine that they'll ever release the bootloader, unless they have a change of CEO and the new guy has a significantly more relaxed attitude about this whole concept.. maybe someone off the board of google could step in and take the job!!
If they do give access to the bootloader, it will be for future models, don't expect it for this phone or previous models.
They have agreements with cell phone service providers that wouldst allow them to do it.

Even if they "agree" to do so, it would probably take at least a month for them to do so. Let me tell you all a secret. You know why the Xperia X10 has X10 in it? Because everything SE does with this phone takes X10 (10 times) longer than usual.
Also if they agree, don't forget their slogan. Make.Believe.

i really dont think its gonna make any difference. if they are not planing about froyo forget unlocked bootloader... waste of time...really think, threads like these are totally unnecessary.
Hi everyone
I am planning to build Sony ericsson community in google+, so we can share news, ideas, opinions, and suggestions that with large numbers we can deliver to SE and they might provide it to us (as you know SE starts to listen to their customers a while ago). This is similar to blog but can be easily access on the go along with so many features offered by google+ like making votes, sharing ... etc. And everyone can contribute (everyone can post whatever topic he/she think that it is interesting regarding Sony ericsson or any other phone).
if anyone is interested, please leave your Google+ account and I will invite you to special circle called Sony Ericsson community.
my google profile is in here
https://profiles.google.com/113070422033274639984
please note; this is not an invite to join googls+. it is invite to build sony ericsson community to share news, ideas, opinions and suggestions
I will invite everyone
Good luck with that one mate. Maybe if you took out the fanboy bit you might get a few responses. Call it google + SE network or something else, just ditch the fanboy bit.
well, it will be called Sony ericsson community
I am not sure if fanboy make any offense to anyone

Hi there,
Many people seem to think that a circle is like a group in Facebook. Unfortunately, it isn't. If you add someone to your circle it doesn't mean that they have added you to theirs. For example, if you add 20 people to your 'SE Fanboy' circle, you will be able to view posts from those 20 people in your circle, but unless all those 20 people add the other 19 people to their own circle, it doesn't do much. Your circle is only visible to you; and I think other people can see the first 21 people in your circle
Regardless, add me! gplus.to/rahul
yes you are right, but I am sure that they will figure a way for this. you know that it is just launched and they are listening to people's opinion to improve their service. I already contacted their one of there employee and she said that they have received several inquiries regarding this and they are looking into it.
in the meantime, I will just keep building SE community and will reshare all the news I get from everyone and we still can see each others comments and communicate with each other (through me for now)
BTW, anyone want an invite please do send your email as well
Yeah nice idea but a bit fanboy. What's the point of a circle when SE is updating their blog site? They listen to the comments on their blog.

I think our petitions/forums made them update the x10.
thats right, our petition and forums, not their blog
if we have an issue that have no topic on their blog, what can we do? we can make our own thread and talk about it and everyone say his/her opinion, then they will lestien to us.
in addition to that, we can discuss other phones and features that are not in SE phones yet for example SGS II
in nut shell, its our own blog and we can write and discuss whatever we want, not just reply to topics
https://plus.google.com/113439242679072612298
we are now over 150 members and keep growing
(ofcourse cannot be compared with over 2000 for xda, but keep in mind that xda has too many manufacturers and has long great history, go xda and we have started couple of days ago, we will reach 1000 members very shortly
however, I have received many PMs asking me to put my google account so they can add me, I will put mine in the main post so if anyone is interested add me and I will add you asap
see you there
I have to be 18 to join Google+ unfortunately...
Please confirm why the Profile not longer available ??
my account is temporarely suspended for violating the community standers, which I have no idea what does it mean.
and will be reactivated very soon, pm me your account and I will invite you asap
Interesting read...made me laugh a bit.
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/09/28/sony-ericsson-supports-independent-developers/
Excerpt from the post:
"During some time now, the FreeXperia group of independent developers have been working on the CyanogenMod custom ROM for our latest Xperia™ phones. From a Sony Ericsson Developer program perspective, we were impressed by the passion shown and decided to help out with some bits and pieces, since we are aware that Sony Ericsson phones have been somewhat difficult to work with from an open developer point of view. A few proprietary solutions needed to be explained and we helped them with that. This included the camera, where we provided debugged and rebuilt camera library binaries, which we will soon make available on Developer World under a special EULA license. We also supported the group with approximately 20 devices, to make their work easier."
Don't know if this is all true or not but if SE really supported the FXP team they would have unlocked the X10 bootloader sooner.
maybe theyve had a change of heart! This is great news! That means we will probably have a fully working camera with zoom and everything on the cyagonmod rom!

Hi all app developers,
The new XAppDbg tool from Sony (eXtra Application Debugging tool) lets you try out different parameters in your app without the need to rebuild the code for every change. For example, this can be really useful when you fine tune the UI of your app.
Feel free to have a look at the open source project and contribute to make it even better!

Great tool...Thanks for sharing it
It's fantastic! OEM of the year... not casually!
It is good to see Sony supporting developers that much.
got an X8, Neo... next sure Sony's phone too
dear pal, thanks for sharing such a wonderfull tool! :good:
you're freakin swot - and i like it!
can't wait to try it out.
regards and greetings to the sony hive! :highfive:
Pal, you've possibly just swayed me to pickup an Xperia as my next device. I'm not even a developer, but this kind of support for the community makes me want to give you my money. Please keep up the great work!
Bump for the awesomeness of sony open source.
Thanks a lot, it's really good stuff.
Thanks, that;s really help developer a lot
Nice move Sony, thanks you for all the devs that will use it.
It's weird to me to say thanks Sony, because Sony means DRM most of the time, it's a good step to share that way, thanks thanks thanks !

* easy root: giving root access is impossible for many reasons, legal reasons being one of them. However we do support unlocking the bootloader, which allows you to install custom roms which have easy root access
