well this thread has certainly turned in to a **** show.

It's very easy to argue we pay for unlimited data, and that should be that.

It's also equally as easy to argue that we pay for unlimited data on our smartphone, and that any content used on another device is not actually "using the data on our smartphone".

A good lawyer could argue either side. So how about we all just drop it? Eh?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Completely off topic here, but since I'm employed again, I jump on the companies wifi, and at home I'm on mine. I checked my data usage the other day, and it was at 38mb this month. Lol. Previous to that, I was over 2gb/month, but I've never experienced throttling.

What's so special about this? I'm confused.

Isn't this virtually the same as the Galaxy 7.0 Plus?

And the 7.7 is Still way better!

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rahat34:
look im a n00b(still learning android stuff),

so this question is just out of curosity

why cant we have kernel 2.6.32 ??

well google said froyo needs atleast 2.6.32 to run

but we here are running gingerbread smoothly on 2.6.29(thnaks to all the awsoms devs :D)

can someone knowledgble reply

thank you ;p
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Simply because the kernel drivers needed for the X8 only exist in Linux 2.6.29 as published by Sony Ericsson.

If you would want to use a newer Kernel release (i.e. the ones Google is using for their Android builds) you need to port the drivers to that kernel version - read: make them fit the kernel.

That's a very tedious process, so it's easier for the ROM and Kernel developers to base their work upon the original SEMC Linux 2.6.29 sources.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xmaster8:
on short: its easier to port drivers from 2.6.32 or 35 or 38 than make the base 2.6.32.... working on our phone :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
as b.jay said, porting kernels takes a long time, and if you recive only a couple of errors in the middle of it, BOOM, you gotta go back to the sart and track what wrong command you typed or what code is wrong etc. thats why no one has ported 2.6.32 kernel.

to many drivers to cope with, to much errors that you will recive. porting roms is easyer
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rahat34:
thanks guyz for the answers....in short it is possible to have kernel 2.6.32....maybe nAa can port it....he has already backported some stuff.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It is possibe given someone wants to spend an insane amount of time (edit: we're talking several weeks to several months here) in forward-porting the Shakira specific drivers and additions to the ARM Linux code base.

I don't see it happen as it's a enormous undertaking for a single developer to port the whole stuff - that would require a medium-sized team of coders a) knowing what to port / b) well versed in Linux Kernel hacking / c) knowing how to code for ARM (edit: as the existing sources most likely need to be adapted to the Kernel ABI (in this case 2.6.3.x), which is not exactly stable in Linux and changes erratically as Linus' maintainers see fit. Also, don't forget that the changes need to be tested to see if the kernel boots and works flawlessly).

Don't hang your hopes too high.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1kolaa:
need to much time to update linux version of kernel
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josip-k:
But for instance lg optimus p350 has almost same specs but runs .32 kernel.it has same qualcomm 600 mhz cpu,ardeno 200,and 140 mb ram.so x8 has even better specs.so i dont se why this wouldnt be possible.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] yuripg1:
The only ones I have here are the gbs-testing-noop-lg.zip and gbs-testing-deadline-lg.zip. They were the last .32 kernels I used (they were also the last kernels fserve released before sending his laptop to repair service and then the coming of the revolution "new baseband + .35 kernels"). Summing it up, I used them for about a month, since when they were released until I switched to the Adam's unofficial CM7.2 N1/N2.

Are they of your interest?

----------edit1----------

I did a bit of research to remember why at that time I thought these were the best kernels.

Turns out they're the v20a with the stock touch screen driver (which I think gives a far better experience - and I mean freaking smoothness - than the alternatives). Oh, and both of them are CFS (I had bad times with BFS kernels).

Again, this was only my opinion at that time.

A bit more research revealed what the gamer version had:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frying_fish:
Surely it would have been better to ask "would it be possible to clone my own keycard" to mean that you could access where you're allowed to with your phone, and then leave the chance of doing something wrong (gaining privileges you're not supposed to have) to something you just happen to do without mentioning it to everyone first?

What I've found so far is that I don't think we can set our phones to actively send out the data used in that manner (I would like to do it for my keycard for my workplace).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shailentj:
Well, this is something I would like to do myself. I have my own printing card, which is a MIFARE Classik 1K.

The idea is to drop one card from my wallet. Using my phone, I would be able to conveniently print my stuff.

I have read that it is possible to replicate the contents of a MIFARE Classic 1K card to the SmartMX Secure Element on the Nexus S. The methods were not clearly explained.

Anyway, for your task, Google for Proxmark. Apparently they found a way to replicate MIFARE Classic cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
Oh please!! Some one make an app or somthing to copy the 1k cards.i allready had to pay 15 euros because i lost my college acces card once.and having my ns or gn emulate it,would be dam nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
If cards are that simple to clone, doesn't that kind of defeat their purpose? I would have thought there'd be some sort of copy protection that would at least make the cloning difficult.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shailentj:
Very true. The Oyster cards in London, for example, are simple MIFARE 1K cards. However, it is not easy to replicate them.

Proxmark apparently can do this. However, the developers of the device only showed a video how they went about cloning the card, without provided the tools, software and other means to do that.

I read somewhere that they were liable to be sued by NXP for releasing their findings publicly.

Also, read about the Crypto-1 algorithm (algo used to encrypt MIFARE 1K cards) hacking here:

and about Proxmark here:

Hi,

I tried to read data of my student card. I think it uses Mifare 1K technologie as mentioned on this page (my university is included): http://0xbeaf.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/unicards/

Using NFC TagInfo - App but wasn't able to read anything of it.

Could someone give me a hint how to read out some data?

And could you do one with Big Corners and stock icons? Would be great!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
OK Thanks for FeedBack... maybe I found the Bug...

Big Corners work on .42 and .238,

Small corners work probably works on all...

I will fix the small corners... Rather keep only Big Corners option and finish the small corners Project...

and dont worry , will upload one with stock theme too..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
Small corners works fine on Play (R800i) on stock firmware 42.

Only 1 little question, is it possible to stop the corners at the bottom from disappearing when a widget gets put on the screen? I know that's how the launcher works on the mini but we have more room at the bottom of the screen, where the bar normally sits.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
For those Who cant Install the Big Corners... can you Flash the attached one?... I cant test since I am not using .62

Please Provide feedback if it worked or not...

@kupo5131, regarding the space it uses... Once I figure out modding app grid then I would do that too but it needs extensive modding of the grid..:o
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
It looks a little... Erm big on the play. Hard to explain. See the picture.

hmm..thanks.. so its Partially solved...:) .. its big on expansion.. You might have tried the small Corner initially.. isnt this bigger than that when Expanded?

So here comes Test 2.. I sincerely believe it will resolve issue.. but if its still giving error then I might just give up for the time being.....:(
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
Sadly when I flash test 2 all I get upon boot is a home.apk force close. Don't give up though! I'm not bothered by it being too big, just thought I'd let you know incase someone tried to moan about it. I'm just thankful someone else wanted the mini launcher and knew how to edit apks :thumbup::D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] .:Amin:.:
Thank u!

I tested both Big and Small icons on my Xperia Arc. I couldn't run Big icons but Small one worked well.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:
Thanks for Testings... I dont feel like giving up too...:)..

So here are my Last testings... If it failed this time then I might flash .62 to do further testing myself..

One zip is for Big Corners Mod

and

Second one is of small corners to spare the Space in Corners that should not hide Corners if Widgets or app icons are placed in corners... Try placing widgets or icons in all 4 corners... maybe it skipped a corner or two..

Let me know... Me going to sleep ots too late...:)

:)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] jjdoctor:

Anyone who previously couldnt install Big Corners can share the Corner Size when expanded.. I have a feeling its icons are overlapped .. I can increase the size of expansion if they are overlapped or too close when expanded...
