[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MinaretsModder:
I have spent hours trying to figure out how to upgrade my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 from 1.6 to 2.1(or higher) but I cannot figure it out. :( I already have it rooted but I can't get xrecovery or clockwork mod to install. Can someone please help me? I'm fairly new to android hacking so if you are willing to help please make the instructions easy to follow. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bluecar5556:
Ensure you have the ADB driver from FlashTool_0.2.9.1\drivers\X10_ADB_drivers.zip or alternatively use SEUS at least once but you more than likely do if you're able to root. In flashtool, click ask root admin and you must have superuseraccess on your phone. Now you should be able to click 'xRecovery' within flashtool. Let me know if this doesn't work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_username:
This may be a dumb question...but, I find the timing of this update to be somewhat overly coincidental. Our free mobile hotspot trial is set to expire on the 15th, and this begins rolling out on the 12th...

Is it possible this update may also contain something that disables our hotspot feature? Or does one have nothing to do with the other?

Edit: I'm in Sarasota, Florida and one of the people who has been stuck on Rev A ever since that outage a few weeks back. As of today, I notice that finally it is back to the hybrid network...also coinsiding with the day this update rolls out. Just thought I would point this out for.people who have had the same issue.

[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
3 D will be interesting and all but actual clarity, resolution etc etc will not improve I assume given the 5 megapixels?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
That's not a safe assumption. MP don't necessarily correlate with picture quality, at least not MP alone. Look at other phones with 5mp cameras that take better pics (iPhone, epic). HTC claimed to have improved the camera despite the lower resolution ...

Tapa tapa tapa
[HTC EVO 3D] jessejames111981:
MP has nothing to do with quality. MP is strictly a rating to measure resolution. For the average user MP only matters if you wish to crop out a small portion of your picture. Otherwise anything over 5+ isn't a big deal, in my opinion at least
[HTC EVO 3D] antianalog:
Considering the phone is being featured as a camera phone I sure hope they improved the quality.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Mp does not really have anything to do with pic Jesse is right by that also it is being marketed as a 3d cam phone soooo idkkk
[HTC EVO 3D] svinyard:
Its all about the CMOS sensor. Trust me, 5 MP is more than enough. You could easily blow up a well taken 5mp picture to a 5x7 or 8x10. If you need to do an immense amount of cropping...MP might come in handy but thats about it. Plus...a higher MP photo typically takes up a lot more space.

I really want to see them do some interesting things with the camera, like quick shot mode using both cameras or HDR etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
This is all great to hear. I've come to use my camera a lot with my Evo for various things.

Can we get more attention on this extremely important issue? Flash doesnt work. only displays black video and audio is there

NOTE : im using a G2 so the problem is across the board.
[Thunderbolt General] onelikeseabass:
To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:

1) force stop the browser process

2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser

Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.

What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.

Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.

Flash works fine in Opera without any modifications.

I have Netflix working.

I have UrukDroid-1.1beta2 installed on my Archos 70 but should work with other ROMs if you are rooted.

You just need to open & edit /system/build.prop

I used Root Explore but any other root file editor should work.

Change ro.product.brand=archos

to

ro.product.brand=HTC Vision

and

ro.product.manufacturer=archos

to

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

reboot

Worked for me.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] indigomontoya:
I can confirm this working on A70S running Uruk 1.0 from internal memory. To help others, I used a terminal to gain root ($su), made a backup copy of the build.prop (#cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.bak), then copied the build.prop to / and changed the name to build.txt (#cp /system/build.prop /build.txt). Then I changed the permissions to make it writable (#chmod 666 /build.txt). Personally, I hate vi. So, I used astro file manager to open the build.txt file and edit it with the above changes. Then back in terminal copied the edited build.txt back to where it belongs (#cp /build.txt /system/build.prop) and restored the proper settings (#chmod 644 /system/build.prop) and then rebooted via holding down power and selecting reboot.

I only played with the streaming for a few minutes before work this morning. Seems decent. I am really looking forward to getting into it tonight. Thanks for the file changes!

UPDATE: I got a chance to compare the netflix app on my A70S compared to endgadget's walkthrough video on the Nexus S. The app runs, in my opinion, a little slow both loading the first time and in changing tabs or viewing information on a movie/show. But when I loaded my app while watching the Nexus S on the video load, they took about the same time. Same thing with everything else - very comparable times to switch between tabs or get information on a movie/show. As far as quality goes, I have not watched any video completely start to finish yet. But I have noticed some variance in quality. An episode from Season 2 of the Office looked a little pixelated but Austin Powers Goldmember looked nice. Both we very watchable though. The initial buffer took a few seconds longer than I would like but when skipping forward in the video, the video played rather quickly. Overall I am happy the app is out, and will use the crap out of it, but there is definitely some room for improvement.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] uniquenameevo:
Do we absolutely need root to edit the build.prop?

I know I can get the file to my PC to edit. I don't know if I need root to get it back...and I did the firmware update.

TripNRaVeR presents the latest meal from the kitchen

TripNArc Arc@xperia 0.9

For everyone who was so long awaiting for this new version, here it is! This will be a full port of the retail Arc rom. Feature updates from SE will be ported in this rom. Version 0.8 is first version fully based on retail rom .184! from Sony Ericsson. Rom is completely rebuilded. Issues with some parts of the GUI/UI are know and also identified how to fix. This will be fixed in later releases, please don't report them.

Rom information:

- Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread

- Arc@xperia 0.9

- BETA

- Based on the retail Arc rom!

- Prepared for my MIUI concept "TripNFeatures"

- 3.0.A.2.184 SE version

- Wifi hotspot not working or not properly working

- USB Tethering

- Baseband 49 advised

- Other baseband (with or without bb patch) untested

- MIUI Music

Working in this rom:

- Mobile network

- Mobile data traffic (HSPA, HSXPA, HSUPA, 3G, G)

- WIFI

- GPS

- Bluetooth

- Hardware sensors

- No WLOD!

- Hardware video decoder

- Videocamera

- Timescape

- Bravia Engine (50%)

- Hardware leds

- USB tethering should work but doesnt display icon

Download:

Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?7a83qpkfa0ygxg6

Rapidshare: https://rapidshare.com/files/3037564618/TripNArc_Gingerbread_TripNRaVeR-v0.9.zip

Note:

SDcard will not mount to pc with this rom stock, just download some mount app from the market to fix this. Problem is identified and will be fixed later on. If it was fixed it was removing or failing the Bravia Engine and causes also issues with video and videorecording.

Just find out that recording video's will give a blank screen. Will be fixed in next version tough.

Dont use Auto-Rotation, this will not work untill Bravia fully works!

Install notes:

After install phone should crash a couple times to receive signal, if it dont reboot from itself then go to Dev Tools > Bad behaviour > Crash System Server and wait for reboot.

anyways that can always be fixed by simple build.prop edit/small sed script....
