[GT540 Optimus Android Development] despotovski01:
It will be good first to get official CM support. The ROM Manager support comes along with that, because ROM Manager downloads CyanogenMod to your phone and installs it. I think only CyanogenMod supported devices have ROM Manager support (correct me if I'm wrong).
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
P500 is not officialy supported by CM, but recovery P500 is supported in ROMManager.

We just need ask Koush to add our device in list.

Here is a basic recovery config https://github.com/Mur4ik/android_device_lge_swift

I'm too trying to contact with Koush but still does not have answers.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rameshranga:
USB port not working, so I cannot connect to the computer to do nvflash or adb.

Getting android.process.acore has stopped message after start. I have the stock update.zip in the internal sd card because of which every time i do a recovery it trys to install the stock update and throws teh FC error. Not able to get past the FC error. Tried putting the clock work recovery in the external sd card but because of existing update.zip in the internal sdcard, external is not read.

I am not able to get past this. Any help is appreciated.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
What makes you think your USB ports are not work...maybe you haven't downloaded the correct stuff and configured it correctly (adb & apx drivers).

Go here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and follow code red. Follow the instructions step by step & download everything from the links on the site. If you still have a problem, post a message on that sites forum.

when i connect my tablet to a linux pc, and run lsusb , i dont see any harmony device.

when i connect my tablet to my windows pc, i dont see any unknown device.

I have another working gtablet which works fine when i connect my tablet to the pc.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Don't take this wrong...just asking questions to try & help out. You would only see an unknown device if you had not installed the drivers (apx and/or adb). Once you have installed the adb & apx drivers for one gtab it will not be unknown. Are you sure you are entering apex mode correctly...hold power+volume - ? Screen will display 3 birds then go black!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rameshranga:
Yes. I went to the apx mode correctly. Still did not see my device recognized.

I am looking for a solution for bypassing the FC temporarily or to clean the internal sdcard. once the internal sdcard is cleaned, i can use the external sdcard to do the clock works mod and go further

[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
Well, now that we've gotten 2.3 which is nice and all.

It's wellmade and all... But one thing strikes me as.. quite odd...

Remember when 2.2 roms was beginning to pop up and how people showed to SE

that hey, 2.2 WAS possible and it ran much better than their 2.1, despite their claim that it wouldnt... And SE's answer was that we wernt REALLY running Froyo, we were just using Froyo system, backported to the Eclair kernel... Now with 2.3 released. SE is doing the same? Yet now, when they do it, it's actually Gingerbread? Or have I missed something major? Im not in any way unhappy about SE releasing 2.3, dont get me wrong here.. Just finding it quite odd how a company like SE can claim it's not really froyo when XDA devs do it.. And then turn around, do it themself and claim that now it's real.
[XPERIA X10 General] theskeptic:
Essentially SE have proved that they excel at talking out of their own anus and wouldn't know honesty if it punched them in the face.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday.

But I've been thinking for a while that SE talk out of their ass Cox when rikard said about 16m colours not being implemented coz of "too much redevelopment" which is bull coz they were developing a new os anyway but hey what can we do?
[XPERIA X10 General] viulian:
Unfortunately there's not much we can do.

Sony probably thought that if they delay 2.3 people will jump to Arc and the rest, but realized that since many people had the X10 - they needed to save the face and act like they were in trouble.

However, the phones are not extraordinary - I find Arc buttons unappealing (1mm below and they would have been pointing down, hard for my big fingers to reach them). The others are big and clunky..

HTC is no better, you have 7 buttons to press at the bottom, 4 virtual on the phone case, 3 software on top. I have colleagues which own HTC phones for half an year and more, and they still get confused what to press when they want to show something on the phone.

Samsung and the blunder with S2 screens (yellow patch, or either too yellow color temperature) or with the battery heating etc.

Android itself is not a mature OS (I mean is stable), but after having Symbian, Windows and Android, Android gives me the impression that you have to work a lot around the software so that you can get cool things done (or nice integrations). On WM6 it showed the weather if you wanted to make an appointment - so that you know. People like it because they believe its free, but it comes with a price, you give valuable information to Google about your habits and they can sell it for much money probably that you get by having some nice apps.

And so on.

I wish Leica would build mobile phones :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
I've been thinking about my privacy since Google is known for stealing their users info. And yeah, Android is far from complete, rapid development shows it all.
[XPERIA X10 General] shoby:
I wondered why it ran like ****, and I knew it was too good to be true that SE would finally unleash the full potential of the X10.

I've had my X10 for 15 months now, and only 9 months to go until my contract ends. It will be the last SE phone I ever get, and I repeatedly tell anybody who asks to avoid SE phones like the plague.
[XPERIA X10 General] Neo.:
@OP:

It was possible for SE because they patched the old kernel to work with GB. If you can see the kernel version that is only possible for SE since they might have modified since they have Bootloader access. We would have got much better phones only if BL was unlocked. I.e We could have changed Kernel versions.

For SE possibilities are endless because the have all the sources and they havent released it

I lold at your comment for a while.

If you don't like ARC, that's your choice but what does a hardware button has to do with android OS?

OMG. Really?

I've used every OS out there,Android,Symbian,iOS,Bada OS and even OS that runs with Java support and I call you. Android is the best OS we have now.

Did you say android ain't stable? You joking right? If you use right tweaks and correct adjustments you'll see where android takes you. android has the best customizations ever. If you use something like iOS you'll see you're limited in resources like ex: overclocking which can be done on android.

WM6 is one of the crappiest OS's Ive seen. (HTC HD2) and I gotta tell you it has got nothing. No innovation nor whatsoever. Heck it does not even have Real Multi tasking (It's been implemented in orange lol).

Android currently the major and the top OS's out there and if you say it's not good either you need to check your mobile (for hardware problems) or you must be an iOS fanboy :)

No disrespect meant but this was my honest review.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
Since SE have the codes for the bootloader, they can release using any kernel they wished really... That wasnt the point though... The diffrence in the kernelversions between the two is quite minimal anyway... But I do find it intresting that SE was saying how we wernt at all running Froyo then, yet now are saying they've released Gingerbread... One or the other cannot possibly be true... Either this isnt truly Gingerbread, or we were truly running Froyo (and gingerbread) before this and not just backported parts of those. Personally, I dont really care which as Im less intrested in questions of "what is this" and more intrested in "what can this do?", and as it stands, SEs gingerbread, offers alot that XDAs devs have not been able to do yet, such as a fully working camera with the gingerbread system. Makes me wonder though... Do SE spokespeople even remember what they've said about the custom roms? Or are they simply hoping that users wouldnt notice? :/
[XPERIA X10 General] dante-fu:
The problem is that different people make decisions and different people are communicating them. PR people chose bad arguments because they were not expecting something will change in the future.

In business everything is about managing resources. SE were always perfectionists regarding releasing firmwares. Their firmwares are most stable in the business. There are usually only a few bugs that get fixed most of the time. Issues that SE had not fixed to date are probably hardware related. 3G battery drain and low in-call volume most probably depend on drivers, phone chips and operator hardware interactions as not everyone is experiencing them.

With such an approach SE devs are very slow compared to devs here at XDA. They also have more phones to manage at the same time so their management has to prioritize their time. This concludes into decisions that some functions can't be worked on the phones that are not the core of SE business anymore.

As most customers would not understand real reasons PR people have to choose more acceptable arguments to serve them. PR team should have chosen more bullet-proof arguments in the early X10 days. There has been a change in recent communication though.

Lately SE has been very open about the reasons for the company decisions on X10. It is just not 100% effective as usual customer do not care for the company. Customers have just their own needs and expectations. That is natural.

SE found ingenious solution for this problem. They worked on bootloader unlocking possibility for their new phone range so community devs have better access to the phone hardware. This way the community would do what they do not have time to do.

On X10 unlocking bootloader is unfortunately not possible because SE are using licenses that are binding them to protect some parts of the phone. 2011 phones were built with this option in mind hence it is possible there.

Disclaimer: I do not work for SE. I am part of a damage control team at telecommunications company and coordinating communication between our partners, suppliers and customers is my everyday job.
[XPERIA X10 General] zodiac100:
They don't talk nonsense, it was just a deliberate attempt to mislead. Something they have quite a reputation for.
[XPERIA X10 General] anothadave:
i think Dante-fu has pretty much hit the nail on the head. the people who make the press statements arent the people who make the firmware and updates. they dont have a dozen guys in white coats working tirelessly on one single rom and then leaving the lab to make an update based on their progress. theyve got 1000s of roms and updates to make, with sometimes a 100 versions per model of phone.. a seperate department is responsible for press releases based on their progress.

i just dont think its as cut and dry as saying.. sony said this and now theyre liars. theyre not one person, its bad enough with the small company im with, people talking about stuff they dont know or being contradicted by new facts they werent aware of. sony are 10000 times bigger and worldwide. maybe they where just plain wrong the first time and XDA showed them how to do somethign they didnt think they could do. wouldnt be the first time. they should follow samsungs lead (when they sent out the galaxy 2 to cyanogenmod) and send a few models to people on xda to play with. i reckon they could get a lot of bugs and upgrades sorted quicker by putting out a bounty to the worldwide community. would save them a lot of money in the long run lol.
[XPERIA X10 General] rpavich:

[XPERIA X10 General] hemo1001:
in the end SE gave us what we want 2.3.3. so they respect customers and we should be thankfull cause they're not forced to.. and talking about the hardware .maybe samsung or htc or even Iphone is better in specs . but the build quality of SE is awesome. that's why i'm a SE fan . btw i used smartphones since I-mate and O2
[XPERIA X10 General] viulian:
No way I'm an Apple fan boy :). I've never bought Apple things in my life.

However, about Android - I sure hope you have tried programming all the OS that you mention - I tried both Symbian (standard C++) as well as Qt, Windows Mobile and Android (check my signature). Among all, Android is weird within (maybe towards the users it might look ok, but users don't care).

Objects that disappear (think broadcastreceivers) ? Activities restarted on screen rotate ? It's Java, but it acts weird - you receive objects, but not those that you believe. Also, memory management in Android is like every girl's reality strike - aggressive doesn't mean good.

In Windows mobile at least you had the plain old canvas, your objects that you left there from last run, etc. The problem was that the hardware they chosen was bad and slow - Android is fast, but I think it will struggle in the future - and they just allowed segmentation, different .apks for different type of devices - the J2ME way .... We'll see.
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
Guys be happy, you got your update! Now enjoy it.
[XPERIA X10 General] aalvico:
Well, at least SE did something,

This phone is still much batter than so many others.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
I agree with most of what you said... But this part, simply makes no sense... Look.

Prior to android entering the market, SE was one of the biggest players on the market. When android was released, companies that had been quite small in the phone area, was suddenly rising, but by comparison, still smaller. By the time SE released their X10 series, SE was still, one of the major players on the market. Now, minor players, managed to release phones, without locked bootloaders, without a problem, but SE does? Now, do tell me which friggin fantasy world you're living in, where SE as one of the biggest players on the market, have LESS power over the telcos, than tiny newcomers? In the real world, things like that simply dont happen. SE could have had an unlocked bootloader had they wanted to. They dont but that's fine IMO... It was well known that it was locked when it was released and so on. As I've said all along, I just find this hipocrisy to be intresting... Not wrong exactly, just intresting.
[XPERIA X10 General] viulian:
I believe that even before X10 was finished - they probably had the other ongoing projects that were meant to catch up with the competition:

a) developers were moved to those new projects leaving X10 unattended

b) hopes were that they will convince people that X10 is good enough by the time they put Play / Arc out, etc.

But unfortunately, the market starts to behave smarter I think. You can't treat people bad, and this shows in sales of Samsung / HTC, the rest (Sony/Nokia) aren't doing great. Apple is also scared, so it sues everything it can - remember the rumor of the russian guy Eldar, Samsung wants to put something out in few months - and Apple is scared not to loose the edge.

I appreciate Sony for not giving up on old phones (not like Nokia did ARRRGGGGHHHH) but I do believe there is a moment when you can say "too late". For me, I prefer to see what Samsung comes up with - for now, X10 is smooth enough...
[XPERIA X10 General] dante-fu:
X10 was SE's first android handset. They wanted it on big carrier so they partnered with AT&T. Regardles the fact that SE mentioned legal issues specifically we all know what is AT&T capable of.

They held the iphone users from the whole world hostage for over a year. It was because of them the rest of the world couldn't send MMS, tether their connectivity or download apps like skype from the app store.

In this case I trust SE. AT&T surely bound even their soul.They partnered with devil. And their financial situation was already bad at that point.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
An SE partnership with AT&T would affect no other handset, except the AT&T ones... Also, SE doesnt play "the partner game" like Apple does. AT&T is just like any other telco in the eyes of SE.. Bigger yes, but no diffrent.
[XPERIA X10 General] abeeson:
+1. Didn't AT&T just say they were unlikely to release the update to 2.3.3?

That clearly shows that SE does not make calls based on AT&T, it only affects AT&T customers (who arent on XDA :P) and SE couldn't care less for what AT&T say.

In reply to some of the comments above, i have noticed a MASSIVE shift in communciations and customer relations from SE recently, i think they have realised mistakes of the past (not providing updates, rolling out new phones and dropping old ones) and i think they have had a large culture shift.

I would say Android is the cause of that, never before have SE had any real "reason" to update their phones other than bug fixes, new features were rare as it was generally hardware.

These days, its all there HW wise, its just the software under it, and i for one am glad to A) see SE realise this and B) provide the update to 2.3.3. for my X10. Its one of the only phones from that gen (Gen 1 or Gen 2 android depending on how you look at it) thats getting the update to 2.3 (admittedly we did miss 2.2 and this is probably a sympathy update from SE, but again, who cares?)

In relation to the kernel, I have not done much reading on this (So correct me if im wrong) but the version number does not mean we dont have a newer kernel. The kernel included with 2.3 has a LOT of things that the 2.1 kernel (that we used for 2.2 installs) didnt have. The tethering parts etc are one.

IMHO I would say it is a kernel that has been designed for 2.3 despite versioning, and it may be missing some things like 16m colours, but the point is, we had a kernel before that didnt allow the OS to use all its features, now we dont have that issue.

Between 2.3 and 3.1 there is minimal changes aside from OS tweaks etc, so theoretically we (and by we i mean the devs :) ) can update the phone from here. We just needed that newer kernel to make that progress.

Anyhow, thats my sub rant over.

Also, if im wrong on the kernel please correct me, im quite interested in exactly what happened there, and i may be completely wrong, sorry if i am.

EDIT: forgot to say - I'm defending SE, but only because of the changes they have made recently. They have screwed me just as much, if not more than most people given the range of SE phones have had over the years, i do agree they have back-flipped, but for the better in this case - Somebody above said in well in that they are not just one person, or one group. There are units within departments, sections for marketing, local groups etc, and they will get stuff screwed and make changes, we should just be glad it wasnt we were told we would get 2.3, and then had it taken away.....
[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
Sympathy update? Hardly. Thing is that there was something of a class action lawsuit being prepared against them for dropping the support so quickly as they did. SE is in the end a Swedish company, and swedish laws mandate that a product expected to last a certain time, MUST be supported for atleast that long. The class action was being prepared against what was seen as non support based on SE only 9 month after release went out and said no more updates. Well, a smartphone like the x10 is hardly a product that is only expected to last 9 month now is it, so the case would have revolved around if support includes getting updates. Considering all other software on the market, personally, Id say it does and I think that's more of the reason why and the class action went up in smoke as soon as 2.3.3 was announced so Im apparantly not alone in that view, and Im quite certain this is one of the major parts in why SE decided to do it.

As for the kernel things you say, well no... The 2.1 kernel version itself doesnt actually decide what features are possible. As was shown in the custom kernels of 2.1, netfilter and so on can be compiled in that as well, and obviously, we have all the gingerbread features in the kernel now, even though it's an eclair kernel. However, between the Eclair kernel version of 2.6.29, and gingerbreads 2.6.35 there are 40 megs of changelog stuff that has been changed. None em of really important, hence why it doesnt matter much, but still, I do wonder WHY. Even the Arc is running a newer kernel (even though not even that is running the real kernel for some reason), and we have similar hardware as that. Which then really boils down to, does this method of backporting become higher maintence for SE, while giving them a bit of a bad name due to them calling the same thing not really running Froyo when XDA devs was doing the same thing?

And Im also not complaining about SE or anything like it. I hope I've made my PoV clear that while I find it to be hipocrisy a bit, I just find myself intrested in, well, mostly WHY :)
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
I think we should not discuss about the kernel because Google built Android 2.3.3 base on Linux 2.6.35 kernel so SE must use that kernel. I just post here when I've read that so much dude complaining that SE use old kernel. Mail to Google and ask them why.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ether_Man:
Google has very little to say about it. They chose to release the base as opensource which means SE can choose whichever kernel they wish really. They could have gone with the 1.6 kernel and still call it android. It's only now that Google is starting to wake up and realize what the diffrent brands are doing to their system and starting to demand makers to conform to certain standards, such as required to use the right kernel, but those rules only apply to new phones, and last I checked atleast, SE refused to conform to those rules (which means they're not getting preview releases, which means they can only START developing their system AFTER it has been fully released, unlike others who by the time a system is released, already have their development done)
