[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Achotjan:
Hi all ther is somme news :

the random rebott is fixed now , but cause of the fix, pattern unlock and other security lock options are not working ..... why ?

cause it need somme semc binary and libs :

system/bin/updatemiscta ;

system/lib/libmiscta.so ;

system/lib/libmisctaaccessor.so

we have them but they are for arm v7 neon so not compatible !

i am rewriting now a new source code to use cm7 pattern lock method wich will be compatible with semc lockscreen .

the random eboot is caused by the lockscreen when it is lunched in landscape mode : i have trayed a lot of think but no way so i need to rewrite it but it will take some time , ther is no other bug that will affect daily usage

the extra worrd about external lockscreen is fixed

systemUI (statusbar) ir rethemed to be more xperia style

tweaked the rom

after rewriting source i will rearange the tweaks to have a speedy rom

with the most less lags possible

will let you informed of the progress

cheers

for all user to get performance i mean like CM7 roms

just copy all scripts from init.d and paste it in Hw_congif.sh

and tell us what's up with your speed

i did it and my phone as smooth as MiniCM10(a little bit slower than CM7 rom "unnoticeable")
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ihsan123:
downloading beta 2 :D

bugs from beta 1 that i spotted:

-fm radio cannot close after open *need to reboot :(*

-cm7 t-mobile theme cannot be apply *causing reboot,then bootloop*

-i can confirm wifi working in beta1,but some comment said it not working in beta 2 *thats bad*

-widget not working for other launcher *can u do somethin with this :/*

#overall i satisfied with beta 1,hope this rom will achieve stable state (RC) soon,best of luck ^^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] koledok:
the widget are ONLY for xperia launcher

the cm7 themes are not supported by this ROM: you can only theme it with Theme choser

about fm radio I dont know, but it seems you are right. I can suggest you to enable "back button long pres to close apps", from settings/apps/development menu to close the app.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ihsan123:
i know that the widget only for xperia launcher,but atleast i'm hoping the dev to make the widget resizable like other 3rd party launcher,too bad we cant change the theme,btw nice tips,i forget bout that :)

guys pleas report only random reboot bug and usb releated freeze the rest is known and will be fixed we are still in beta , about scrooling i founded a bug on my SDE code i compaired with old v1 version and srool on v1 is 3time better will finde what is causing and will fix it

when final vérsion ready i have a project to creat the SemcDebrandEngine website and i am working on a online flashing system to upgrade the firmware directly and also search for new updates

for now cm7.2 vérsion are x10 x10mini/pro x8 Arc/S neo/V Pro

cm9 vérsion are in progress for Arc x10

for x8 i will lock if its possible or not cause of less ram of x8 ICS is already made by nAa but for sde i will need all semc apps that require a lot of memory

also this rom is based on xperia S latest build , but i am also working on 2.3.4 firmware based rom for x8 my intetion is to bring all update by SE/sony so user can chose wich version he like more , and 2.3.4 firmware based will be more quick then this one (semcphone etc..) i will firstly finish this work and release CM9 release and cm7 for all my supported devices as final and if users help me out after that with somme donation to open the website then a lot of think will be diferent will post heare on xda the beta version of all new releases and anounce when its final to be downloaded and flashed directly on the website

Please make themes for mdpi. Launcher has bad layout. And WiFi is again just working when I turn on WiFi and then reboot. When I reboot phone with turned off wifi, I can't get access to internet

Thanks and please answer my pm:)

EDIT:

v2 is fast and smooth.

I have found next bug.

When I flashed system facebook.apk was in /system/app but It was not installed.

When I instaled app from Play Store, it was crashed.

When systemui.apk was not working, facebook appeared in installed applications and it was working.

Hi, to have Black background + transparent status bar do these steps:

Download my transparency mod from here and install it via CWM.

Now download my black background mod from here and install it via CWM.

That's all.

Now you have Black background + transparent status bar.

Keyboard isn't working... He doesn't appear in a text zone or with menu button.

I don't try WiFi, without keyboard, for WiFi key, it's a little bit complicated.

But ALL apps, including Conversation are S themed and the rom's design is ****in perfect.

Keyboard still dont work, I use SwiftKey 3 Demo instead. For WiFi, it's very strange... When I enable Bluetooth and I disable it a few seconds later, WiFi and network icons become blue. It means it works =p

Also, there is a problem with pin code for lock screen. No one works (Password, Pin code, Schéma...)

But I've easely reached 748MHz with overclock ! nAa kernel is awesome... =o

facebook fix

the facebook app force closes all the time. to fix this u must go to system/app and delete it manually, and also check if it is in data/app and remove it from that location too. then reinstall from market.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] koledok:
After some days testing beta2 I report the following:

incredible improvement in general performance, no more random reboots, no more lags in scrolling, wifi works (but sometimes needs reboot to connect).

RAM fee level is generally low/average, so multitasking with heavy apps (like music or fb) running is difficult.

Sometimes (rarely) low RAM level kills messaging app and it doesn't reboot, so does not receive sms till it is manually re-open.

The BIG, a very BIG problem, for me, is still the crazy battery drain. One working day outdoor with average usage is absolutely impossible. I hope in further development otherwise this problem will strongly penalize this ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] X8invisible:
i figured out the drain problem: cpu governor is performance

go to cpu sett and put smartassv2 as default and voila

"Searching is like eating: If you don't do it you'll die"©X8invisible
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] koledok:
I apologize for my incomplete report: my CPU governor was Smartass V2 245/600
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] semdxd:
i'm having battery drain too (the same governor)

can't fix it
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MatthewWu:
Pros :

- My battery still 80 % after 12 hours and 60 % after one day, it's very different with MiniCM 7

- Still, the music app is gorgeous

- Smoother than the first release

Bugs :

- Wifi don't work (for playing internet) for me

- Looks like you need to make a different blue theme with grey background because i dislike it (Even another colour)

- Memory management is bad, even after installing RAM Script (i think it's okay)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Xdalikeaboss:
Agreed with him, i disliked the new black background theme, i understand it was for a good purpose, but still i want the old ones. Thanks for the hardwork anyway :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Achotjan:
beta3 progress :

- call barring option into call settings

- removed all non usable libs

- edited the framework source to workaround somme unsuported armv7 libs

- better multitasking

- fixed bugs in gallery for FB integration

- fixed memory management (app designed to lock in memory wasnt applied )

- fixed call receive delay

- improved phonebook lunch

- rewriting the telephony source (suspected to be the cause of wifi issue )

- working on a workaround to make the lockpattern and otherlock options to work

dont know when it will be released still working on wifi problem

cheers
