I dont get why they feel that they have to only do OTA updates. Give us the option to be able to download the update and do it for our self!!
[HTC Sensation] MIKEYMCC:
If I were to do a manual update whats the correct stock ICS ROM to use for the XE?

Is trying to get S-On again dangerous or are people finding it works most of the time?

And when HTC decides to release another update later on I can update via the settings menus?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twismo1:
Let me start by saying Thank you to any developer making these things possible. I'm enjoying my phone more then before!

We get used to take fast pictures on our phone's... For every little nonsense...

It's a thing we expect on our phones we buy these day's.

I am having issues with CM7 to get the camera working and i saw somewhere they have removed the camera from their rom.

Now, Froyo has the cam working but the speed of my phone is very slow with Froyo. I like CM7 for it's simplicity and speed and ofc it's way better then that crappy stock rom that come's with the X8.

Now for my questions;

Why did Cyanogenmod remove support for the camera?

Why does it work in Froyo and not in Cyanogen?

And, if possible, could i speed up Froyo by overclocking or tweaks?

Froyo cant run some of my app's like swiftkey x for example...

Do i have to make a choice between speed/camera?

Thank you!

(sorry for bad grammar, English isn't my first language :p.)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Godra:
Why did Cyanogenmod remove support for the camera?

The CyanogenMod by FreeXperiaTeam is being built from sources, which means they are writting all drivers from nothing, not just modifying them from some other ROMs. As Sony Erricson didnt gave FXP camera drivers so they couldnt finish up that ROM. They also droped a support for our X8 as well as for X10 mini/pro because of their old hardwer.

Why does it work in Froyo and not in Cyanogen?

Froyo that our X8 has is also custom ROM based on CyanogenMod but version 6. For a long time we hadnt had working camera on Gingerbread based ROMs. The thing is developers used patched Stock 2.1 drivers in Froyo and that wasnt possible until our great dev Doixanh managed to patch that drivers to work on 2.3 (Gignerbread) as well.

And, if possible, could i speed up Froyo by overclocking or tweaks?

Of course you can. But I would sugest you to install GingerDX by Doixanh. It is fully working and really smooth CM7 ROM and it will even run on stock kernel.

Froyo cant run some of my app's like swiftkey x for example...

Probably because they are not compatible. Using older versions might solve that problem.

Do i have to make a choice between speed/camera?

GingerDX.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twismo1:
Thank you, sir!

I've just installed GingerDx v022-update.zip as a custom zip over CM7. Camera has small problems but that isnt a big issue. Menu is fast enough.

Even swiftkey is working on Ginger while i got massive error's using it with Froyo.

I think ill stick to GingerDx. Thanks for the info!

Hello, these are the Xperia S fonts as you can see in the preview.

Flash the attached zip in CWM to get the system and lockscreen font.

I got the fonts form the original fonts folder of the Xperia S.

The font looks like the stock Android one but the digits are different.

This is the old version.

Credits to CKal for modding the font.

Don't forget to press the "Thanks" button if you like it.

Normally as soon as you install it and reboot your phone, it appears.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AlexKaounas:
Yes... On reboot when I press <- button it shows me a menu... What should I select? There so may options, like "Reboot phone", "Install update.zip" etc...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Vicky26:
Which rom do you have?Because many roms have the option to choose your recovery, xrecovery or cwm...

Anyway,when the recovery opens, you choose install zip from sd card,you choose the zip,press yes and then, when it's complete you press Reboot phone.

Hello, I have recently bought a Huawei U8650 Sonic that has the GingerBread version of Android. By searching on the Internet I've found out that Adobe Flash Player doesn't work on my phone. I have 2 questions:

1) Adobe Flash Player compatibility depends on the Android version or on the phone model? (I mean Flash Player cannot work on a phone that has Gingerbread, regardless of the phone model?)

2) Is there any chance that in the near future the developers from Adobe will make a version of Flash Player for Gingerbread? (From what I've seen Adobe Flash Player is compatible with phones that have Android versions < 2.3)

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] claytonjn:
AFAIK, flash is dependent on the phone more than the version of Android. Also, Adobe has announced that they will be discontinuing Flash for mobile platforms, so I would be extremely surprised if support is added for Flash on any phones that do not already have support. They are continuing to release bugfixes for currently supported phones however.
[HTC Sensation] Lionhardt:
I recently got an iphone 3g for cheap just to mess around with, and even though its very outdated, a lot of the menus and scrolling is super smooth. Obviously this is because of the hardware acceleration that uses the GPU. ICS was supposed to turn this on for the sensation, correct? It is noticeably better than in Sense 3.0/Android 2.3, but still not nearly as good as the iPhone. I use the CNN app, fully loaded website scrolling, and menu scrolling as my subjective measures.

Does anyone have a technical explanation for this? I'm just curious.
[HTC Sensation] pete777:
Google search: the core reason why Android is laggy is the way it treats UI rendering. While on iOS UI rendering happens in a separate thread with real-time priority, on Android this happens in the main thread with normal priority. This of course means that other apps can take over your processor resources and hurt basic UI interactions, translating into a noticeable lag. If you tap and hold into the Safari window while it’s loading a webpage, the loading process stops, as UI rendering has the highest priority and takes over. The result is that the webpage will not load until you lift your finger off, but the UI will remain buttery smooth all the time. Android has a radically different approach - it will try to maintain a reasonable response rate for the UI and load the webpage, but often the framerates would drop causing a visible lag.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
I might be wrong but I'm not sure if all apps are GPU accelerated by default. I think developers need to add a little line of code in to enable it?
[HTC Sensation] The-Nazgul:
My UI is running totally fine and smooth, but if you use Livewallpapers + a lot of Widgets it may lag a bit.

However because the UI of the Iphone is much simpler it is rendered faster.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
its cause iOS is weak and outdated, can't do anything.

looks ugly, no integration to anything, no options, no real multitasking(freezing apps), no widgets and lots more

320x480 low resolution

and with my XE i did not encounter any lag at all with latest ics, also running LWP
[HTC Sensation] juanshop:
I am experiencing nothing but buttery smooth awesomeness no lag, nothing.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Define 'weak' and how iOS 'cant't do anything'.

Looks are subjective.

Integration with what?

Less options

True the multitasking isn't quite 'real' and it doesn't have widgets.

320x480 with a single core 400MHz processor from more than 3 years ago.

Same here, ICS is very smooth on the Sensation IMO.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
customization wise, in application sharing wise, limited to one browser wise, no flash wise, restricting background data for applications, limited to apple keyboard

guess i could go on for a while and i dind't even start with HTC's Sense feature's to Android.

iOS may be responsive, but it is limited.

Did u see iOS 5.1 on "the new iPad"? the quadcore had trouble with the fps from resolution when going into album and scrolling through like 30pictures, imagine if you have thousands of pictures.

and remember the most simplest things can not be done without jailbreaking iOS, like installing a file manager or you name it. Everything has to go through iTunes. Like you can't install applications send by email or so.

im outta here!
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Agree with customization wise and the fact it has no Flash but what did you mean by application sharing wise?

Not sure about restricting background data though.

Well, you can use different Browsers but they use the Safari engine, I think Opera Mini is the exception. Also, there are some alternative keyboards.

Nope, I didn't see iOS 5.1 but will have a look for that.

Perhaps, but I don't see why a File Manager should be necessary. True, but why would one want/need to install an application by email if they're all in one place already?

Anyway, I won't post anymore on this since it's a bit off topic.
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
You can do all those things you named with iOS as long as you jailbreak the thing. The iPad 3 doesn't have a quad core processor, it has the same as the iPhone 4s with an upgraded GPU. I found it too rather disappointing, but just because it scrolls slow it doesn't mean it is bad. Have you seen GTA III or MC3 on iOS?

You make it sound like jailbreaking is bad, but most of the people who buy an iDevice don't need as many options as a person who buys an Android device. The plusside of iOS is its wonderful usability. It is more intuitive than Android.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Yea the OS is so good that you need to jailbreak it.. it may be alittle easier to use yes but you don't have to hack android to get some special apps to do this or do that.

I don't get it why you should defend iOS, it runs smoother cause everyone has the raindrop background on their phone and the same interface with few options to change anything at all.

If you had stock android on the phone without Sense like the Nexus Galaxy things would be different. (although Sense is not lagging with ICS for me)

And kozmic about the sharing, Apple was proud to show off their "twitter/facebook" integration so u could "share" things to those applications.

Android has that option to all applications which can make use of it.

And like i said above here all other things possible without doing anything to your device without "hacking/jailbreaking" it. iOS is basic.
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
iOS is basic because the people who use it normally aren't power users. That's why people like the OS. It is clean.

If you are a power user on iOS, you have the option to jailbreak.
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
I always hear people complaining that they hate Sense/MotorBlur/TouchWiz/etc all of which are deeply intergrated into Android that you need an unlocked bootloader, S-OFF, root in order to go back to a AOSP experience..

Sense doesn't lag on my phone with ICS either, but some need to put the CPU back at the stock speed in order to compensate.

and technically, there are some things you can't do on Android unless you "hack" it either..

[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I'm not going to pretend it's super smooth all the time, cause it's not. The Sense homescreen is anywhere from 40 to 60 FPS, while that's not bad, it's inconsistent, I can feel it dip. If I go into the HTC Music application, pick a playlist, and go to Queue, I get 20 FPS tops.

It's an improvement, but an overrated one at that.
