Hi, I've already searched and unless I am blind I haven't been able to find this so I figured I'd ask here;

I miss the look and functionality of Mediascape from 1.6 and would like a port of it to 2.3. Is this possible? I know that the stock music player now is probably faster but I still miss it. Any devs out there care to shine some light on this? Thanks a lot in advance and if this is surplus then by all means this can be deleted!

Cheers, Galcactus
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 0000alex0000:
developers from sony ericsson took more than half a year to port the one from 1.6 to 2.1, and it lags as hell, and they took another few months to fix the lags and add on a few more features such as one finger zoom. finally they gave it up on 2.3

now what do you think? ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
Well we are never going to even get the preview ROM of ICS yet here at XDA we have a relatively stable ROM working. So I guessed if the latest OS port is going well, then porting one pesky little app will be no problem. Also it doesn't hurt to ask, does it?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] down4wotever:
I feel your pain. I suffered serious withdrawal symptoms after upgrading form 2.1 to 2.3. As the honourable member says, mediascape is a bit of of an engima even for seasoned developers. Lets hope SONY come up with an alternative to the moded android app.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tryantar:
Once i saw this thread i was like (HOPES UP!)

one of the reasons i bought the x10 was because of the timescape and mediascape @.@ when they scrapped it in 2.3 i nearly cried T_T
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
So let's try and get a dev in to help us! Start up a petition?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
if some one uploads the 1.6 framework (entire framework folder) and mediascape app in a zip. or point me to a 1.6 ftf or something i will have a go.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] clixt:
Will the 2.1 ones work? I still have my nandroid back up.. I just need to extract it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
There should be a forum containing all the firmwares of the x10. While I know little about actual developing besides what I've read and the methods to recover my phone, I believe that the 2.1 global generic stuff should be perfect (or at least, better than 1.6 - works better. If possible upload both as Pvy wanted 1.6 too) as for Pvy, thank you very much for taking on this little project. Once I get near a computer I will find the links for you. If someone beats me to it then make your you either upload the whole firmware or both the frameworks, the system apps and the de-odexed versions of the apps too. Thanks people, this is starting to kick off!!!

1.. Mediascape was laggy and tbh not worth the device that ran it x10 was too good for it, 2nd it cannot be brought over, i think wolfbreak may have attempted this (feel free to correct me if am wrong) and it wasnt possbile to do, its a dead feature, although u could always go back to 2.1 for it :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
Whilst I appreciate your views, I feel obliged to point out that it was buggy for various reasons; the x10 ran on 1.6, or 2.1 back then, both dubious iterations of Android with not even a JIT compiler, let alone the sort of sophisticated RAM managers we have now (I know not quite the same thing, just making a point). Also whilst I love my x10, even on the vanilla like OSs, e.g. cm7, the x10 lags unless pretty much maxed out with no apps installed. That is a hardware failure, our rather it's simply outdated. Finally while mediascape was laggy back then the x10 is capable currently of running most things from either 2.1 or even 1.6 relatively smoothly. If you were to compare things like quadrat scores you'd see a drastic improvement. In addition, I am hoping that the various tweaks available with different ROMs well help us to smooth the app in it's transition from eclair to gingerbread! Pvy, anything worthwhile to report?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pvyParts:

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tryantar:
For those who does not like the mediascape please don't pour cold water on our hopes. It was among the reasons why we bought the original x10 in the first place.

Remember the countless times their adverts have timescape and mediascape? so hush please and let us wait for the news from pvyparts.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 0000alex0000:
hope OP not misunderstood my post lol. i was saying mediascape is really hard to port, because many other devs have tried before.

glad to see somebody is taking a look into it again, can't wait for good news to come!

honestly i hope timescape can be ported too! timescape on SE 2.3 looks totally nasty and it's extremely laggy..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] unreal_rik:
I like this guy. Even I got my X10 because of mediascape and timescape and if someone manages to port back mediascape then I swear I'll never use any other music of photo viewing applications. That **** was the beast!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
According to Wolfbreak, Achtojan once attempted a port. May be worthwhile comparing projects, Pvy?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Maybe once I get stuck but it is easier for me to work through it logically. With my method. That way I can be sure about what has and hasn't been done. ;-)

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kirti_grewal:
Yeah really hoping the devs can pull this one off

Current roms + Mediascape + old timescape = awesome :D

But mediascape is more than enough

Atleast we'll have something of the Rachel ui bcuz of which we bought the x10
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] championswimmer:
i have never used 1.6 in my life....

i bought x10 with 2.1 :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kirti_grewal:
Man u missed out on some really cool ui

1.6 was stylish

& when I saw you're working on mediascape I was glad to see that

Counting on you champ

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] championswimmer:
there are major code changes in android source from 1.6 to 2.3

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kirti_grewal:
Hmm well all I can do is hope that u succeed

I thought you were trying to port it from 2.1 right??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] NFSCRYSIS:
Timescape as home =)

Look on youtube, it's really cool, I would have sat on the 1.6, but now I can not go on it, or type on youtube My World Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kirti_grewal:
Oh yes now I remember & understand what you're trying to say

.

Pal I think that is simply impossible

It just can't happen

We're talking about bringing the Rachel ui on gingerbread

Which even Sony couldn't do with so much resources

.

If u want to experience it look for a 1.6 rom & enjoy it
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
As a precursor I would like to say I have very limited dev knowledge (a little vb6) so this may just be wishful thinking!

Could you not use the 2.3 music player as a base and almost map what codes for what. Then isolate the layout/framework/interface and almost literally copy the appropriate code from the mediascape apk? Of course you would need to adjust other things accordingly but just have the basic functions from the 2.3 app and the menu and ui from 1.6

All I would really like in essence is the original main menu, with music, photos and videos near each other with perhaps the new colours from 2.3 and the animations. Also I would like the drag finger on album cover to fast forward etc. As for the photo and video, just double tap to zoom perhaps. And whilst I'm prattling on, perhaps a new widget too?

I'd suggest getting in touch with the dev team behind a popular music app (not going to name app to avoid appearing favouritist or like I'm endorsing them :p) and either asking them to take a look at creating a universally compatible mediascape, or just giving you guys a hand. They might even like the project so much that they decide to finish it off themselves!

Post your thoughts and advice please :)

Thanks!

and btw, i have NO programming idea (officially), ofcourse i can do some c++ and java, but I've learnt that in spare time... I studied biology for last two years :p
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tryantar:
WELL problem is NOT that SONY CANT do it, its more of they think its not economical. to them when people are pushing for them to roll out new updates to get on the latest band wagon of Android 2.1 or 2.3 or whatever... the best choice is to abandon the one with the most work -- Mediascape.

If they continue working on it and delay the roll out, Customers ***** about it, and they are back by at least 5 months.

so if you compared people who wants a new update and people who wants mediascape, you'd see people want newer and better updates (sadly its human nature, greed fyi)

SO OUT THE WINDOW GOES MEDIASCAPE, BUT WE DO NOT LOOSE HOPE, SO DONT YOU DARE TELL US ITS NOT POSSIBLE.

THUS i repeat my statement, its not that it is not possible, it is just not economical.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kirti_grewal:
Yup you're right

BTW pal I was referring to the timescape home NOT mediascape

Even I want it

Read carefully before quoting
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tryantar:

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kirti_grewal:

Hoping it does :-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
Okay I've been in touch with a few developers of music apps and they've all said no, some for lack of time and others for lack of resources. Suggestions on what to do next? I refuse to let this project die!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kirti_grewal:
Hmm well if the devs won't do it, who will :confused:

This project has ended pal,let's face it, no dev is interested & the non devs, well they can't do anything either :p

Sorry :(
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galcactus:
Well, okay we've hit a dead end. BUT. Good news. The Sony Walkman Z has a media player interface with a functionality that is very similar to mediascape and it has almost completely been ported to the x10!! Just a few bugs left. I urge all the devs who kindly helped with this project to combine their efforts and perfect the Walkman port. It's from a gingerbread ROM, so it can't be harder than this was.

Also, once an xperia gx system dump is available we should be able to grab the new media apps and see how those are :)

So yeah, this is me saying thanks to everyone who tried. I'll try to keep this thread alive as almost a news update on the progress of the port.

it was all good

than after few days i installed - CWM (yet intact bootloader)

and after installing, when i rebooted my phone, it stucked at sony-ericsson logo, and nothing coming up...

i am not able to boot in cwm recovery too... it just stucked at the same se logo screen

so i want to know what to do next

at now i have a CWM backup on my computer,

1st i want to know what should i do to make it live again... i am happy with a fresh OS, i just want to repair the mess.

later ill install hybrom v11

waiting for a reply.. thanks for the help, :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feed3:
If you dont mind to unlock your bootloader, then that will be your first step.

Then, flash custom kernel.

After that, if you want to use hybrom, you will need .62 first afaik.

Just make sure you do it all with caution or else, what is messed will be "upgraded" to become a disaster for your device. :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] StereO_:
same problem with me 5 days ago, but my XMP on FW .58

what i do is update to FW .62 using SEUS :)

and you heart attack will recover :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
simply install stock rom again. via wotanserver, seus or flashtool. any method you prefer ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] StereO_:
like thiss ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feed3:
Op said want to install hybrom later. If he/she just flash the stock, he/she just will soft brick the device again and again and again. The other newcomers might follow it also and the numbers of people who soft bricked their device will just keep incresing as of now. They NEED to know they MUST unlock their bootloader and install custom kernel that have cwm in order to flash custom ROM.

Just my 2 cents..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] StereO_:
i hope u read properly what he need 1st. :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feed3:
I just want to enlighten the op since the op already flash hybrom v11, flashing custom kernel and do wipe all in cwm already bring the device again. Hybrom just doesnt compatible with stock kernel. But, if you guys lead him to the long way, once the op flash hybrom v11 again from stock ROM/kernel, then it will be bricked again and the circle wont stop and he/she might think that was hybrom faults but the fact is, unlock your bootloader to flash custom kernel before you can use custom ROM, it is just that simple.

If op doesnt have any plan to use custom ROM,reluctant to unlock bootloader, flash back stock by any methods prefered as stated you and metalrawk should be enough. Correct me if im wrong, it is not that hard. If dont like my post, you are welcome to put me in your "ignore list".. It is free to do so.. :-)

Edit: and i dont even quote any posts by you or other posters, it is not an argument, just an explanation.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
he said - i installed hybrom( without unlocking BL, my bad)

clearly states that he knows that he needs to unlock BL before installing Custom ROM ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feed3:
And my post just not targetting the op alone. There are more and more people that are new to flashing now posting at hybrom thread and in this section as well complaining they are stuck at s.e logo, i believe you can see that trend, ive explained it as well in my post above. :-) no hard feeling taken at my side.

I seldom go to any "general" section but that trend of posting in other section quite annoying to be honest.. The op might know (we all can see from his/her post) but the other newcomers might read it and impatiently assume the whole story incorrectly, thats my concerns.

If my post is wrong, then its my bad and apologies from me. Other than that, i believe we agree the story ends here. :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
its written on every ROM download page that installing rom needs unlocked BL, this is newcomers or users fault that they don't read it and dont pay attention to what developers say. if you wanted noobs to know that point. you could have just added a post - ' unlock BL before installing a custom rom ' without quoting our posts. that it ;)
