This is wicked! Can't wait for an Alpha release. Props to the devs!

I'm sticking with the Rogers fw for now, because everything works, even if it is a bit slow at times. (seems faster after running it for a few days)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nidalius:
with stock firmware 2.1 free ram up to 170 by the way the complete ram is not available :s
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hypercore:
I've gotten a few PM's from confused users asking me how I installed the ROM.

I've made a little guide with more detailed information that should be easier to follow.

Firstly install the 2.1 Nordic ROM provided in the first post.

Then, with the phone on, plug in the USB. Now run the flash.bat file from the custom AOSP folder provided. A blue screen with z4root should apear. Click Root. Wait for the phone to restart.

When it restarts, hit Home (middle button). Tap the checkmark and click LauncherPro.

Now, here's where it gets tricky.

Open CMD (Start, Run, type "cmd").

Now, move the custom 2.1 ROM folder to your C:\ drive and rename it to "custom".

Now, in the CMD window type "cd C:\custom".

Then, type "adb shell". Unlock your phone. Now, quickly, while the screen is on, type "su" into the CMD prompt. Now, SuperUser should pop up on your phone. Click ALLOW.

Now, the last step is to type "dd if=/sdcard/installer.sh of=/data/installer.sh && chmod 777 /data/installer.sh && ./data/installer.sh" into the CMD promt. But, right after you type it into the cmd promt, make sure you lock your phone. Let it run and when it's done your phone will reboot with the custom ROM.

Thnx now it works!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bunglebp:
wow

WoW what work by all the guys on here!!! Cant wait for the minor bugs..audio / video to be sorted then will definatelly give this a try! Always said dreams come true and you devs are certainly making us X10 owners beleive in dreams hehe Bring on the X10 the way it is meant to be :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] michaelpegaso:
I donate 10 € from Spain

thanks for your work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tready:
Iv chucked u guys £5.00 for now ill donate more when its running well. Great work devs
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rmourar:
I think I figured out what I was doing wrong, I was running an adb instance from other folder...

It WORKS!!!!!!

THANKS!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jerpelea:
we are triing to get 2.1 fixed for every day use
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fightingroost12:
ugh! i want to try this so bad but the only thing stopping me is the fact i wont be able to make calls! grrr
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] downesey:
Unusual bug to report, the phone wont let me type numbers. It crashes the application or even the entire device
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] telmoabff:
Eagerly waiting...

Any news on 2.2?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jerpelea:
just edited donation post

thanks to all who have supported our work

as ziduu already said every modification needs 2-3 hours of recompilation and retest

we hope to finish asap 2.1 rom and focus on 2.2 (this one is harder to fix)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] i_rakov:
Do you guys need help with that? I mean some people here probably have more powerful machines. I have a quad core myself. Or is that just going to make it slower?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xeviro:
Just a suggestion to the community as i am working as a software engineer.

I think its better for the community to tone down the bug reporting for a while, especially not to PM-ing the devs for bug report. Since the custom ROM is still in alpha phase, surely there will be a lot of bug, and most of the bugs are known to the team as well.

We don't wont to put a lot of pressure to the devs right :)

I also seldom stuck in the same situation, my module just barely finished, still going to alpha testing with the testers to ensure the normal use cases functional first, before ironing all the bugs, while the boss and higher end reports a lot of known bug to us......
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
Will watch eagerly awaiting, donation coming pay day. Great work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tready:
Only 4 of us from uk av donated come on guys even if its a pound show the devs some support

Do u wont the rest of world thunkin uk are free loaders
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Udonitron:
Pretty much sums up SE and how useless they are. Admiring the error of their ways AFTER they lied to us all telling us the screen does NOT support MT. They are total losers...honestly. I am just excited for what the modders here can do with it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tasteslikeawesome:
Nothing new yet, back from new harry potter movie, very much aimed at girls, as disappointing as the book.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fightingroost12:
:O .. wait whats g sensor
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] eiabea:
The thing which lets your phone know how you hold it :p ... i think ^^
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] telmoabff:
That's great news!

So what's left to get to work on 2.2 is audio, video playback and camera.

I hope we'll get 2.2 sooner than we think
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vatis24:
Gratz for the progress super team.

Already donated 27Euro and willing to give more for the working 2.2 Froyo and that for your efforts and respect for your work and your time guys.

I encourage all people here to make donations so we will motivate our developers to work harder for us .

Thank you again guys keep it up !

Regards

Vatis
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fightingroost12:
ooooh yea i think your right
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] moneyman1978:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jimbo77:
I just sent my donation! It's a small amount for all your effort... Congratz From Guatemala, Dev Team!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Terul:
No that`s the sensor which tells you how to hold your phone, not the sensor which tells your phone how you hold it ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] JDwan:
Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!! Bazinga!!

By the way, nice work on the ROMs, guys! Can't wait to see what you dish out for 2.2!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
WTF are you smoking? O_O'
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I will donate on payday, really hoping 2.2.

Thanks so much j & z for all your time and effort going into this project, you guys really are doing a great job.

I'm really looking forwards to the end result and hopefully eventually MT and a super fast phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CharlesW123:
Well done with the hard work so far guys, will be donating on pay day. Can't wait for froyo :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Udonitron:
The accelerometer ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] newalopez:
Two donations from Guatemala :o, to be honest, my country isn't the best in the donation culture :p but as the dev team can notice, already two donations from a Country most people in Europe don't know where is located :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sahandroid:
Where is Install.bat!?

I cannot find it :/ n00b
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anders260:
on the not working list it looks like 2.2 are more workable than 2.1 ;-)

-CAMERA
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Or the Gravity sensor... G sensor.

Cuz thats basically what it is.. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SparX_59:
Ha! The question is : do YOU know where europe is located ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sahandroid:
Guys, can you tell me where I can find Install.bat so I can run it?

And is adb debugging = USB debugging, if not, how do I enable adb debugging?

CHeers for your help!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrtim123:
praise and a donation

tested out the 2.1 custom last night before i went to bed. i gotta say wow! its such a great step in the right direction :D So fast and snappy. Once we get to Alpha or even Beta stage we should be seeing a really stable and fast phone. 2.2 will be better again!

as promised, i have donated this morning. Its a small donation for the progress so far US$15 - i will kick in some more when we get to the next stage:cool:

cheers Jerpelea and Zdzhiu - your work is brilliant!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dk2000zx:
But what was the fps before fc?

Edit: NVM
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrtim123:
hi there, please dont take this the wrong way but maybe you shouldnt be doing this yet (installing the custom rom that is)

might be worth sitting back and researching a little bit more before you dig right into your phone like this :D

i dont mean to offend, but am trying to save you a lot of hassle
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
Good advice, me thinks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sahandroid:
eh ur right ;) should be studyin anywayz
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] strix75:
Why be a dumb as? If you know, just teach him. That is why we have a forum, to help each other.

:mad:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Z3X:
When 2.1 ROM was first released there was only one bug. It was from people testing that the list grew. It will be the same with 2.2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrtim123:
and kudos to you for not taking it the wrong way!

the whole process will get much easier as it matures, so you wont miss out at all :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] newalopez:
lOl, visited for a few months some years ago ;), still enough off-topic.

Can't wait to install froyo :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
I am looking forward to 2.1, don't you think that there maybe issues with 2.2 and the. .29kernel, cause doesn't froyo run on. 32?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] newalopez:
it could be, I'm used to work with linux and the kernel issues, still if I'm taking a step outside of the Official ROM, I'll do it with froyo :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Desarth:
Well, someone's gotta flash it first if we want any type of feedback at this moment.:)

I did it and it's great! It' just that feeling of freedom when you spot that white notification bar at the top on your phone... Looking forward to 2.2! Great work guys!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Zer0_:
Is there anyway to duel boot
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrtim123:
i was kinda hoping for a dual boot scenario so i could keep playing with the rom but reboot back to the OEM when i needed to use the phone features that are not working yet. it was demo'd in the original youtube video so im sure it can be done but its just how its done that im not sure of ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Armitagej:
Donated!

Donated 20$! Keep up the good work guys.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wenscan:
Nice work what you are doing but i see only the big x10 . I use the x10 mini pro and want this too is there a solution to bring it out for the smaler phones??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dk2000zx:
No I dont think so because x10 and the other x10 mini and etc. has totally different hardware, different cam, diffrent cpu, etc so....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kieronw3:
Small donation made more to follow :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wenscan:
Hmmm that sounds bad , but if somebody know the steps then maybee can someone work on it for the minis.

Steps like the same way to build the FW for the minis with different values for cpu and the other stuff i think when i know the steps it will not realy difficult to rebuild.

Tutorial: Enabling HD video recording on the Xperia™ X10

can this help developer to enable HD in custom ROMs?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dk2000zx:
eeuuhh we already have HD recording in 2.1 from sony ericsson
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fightingroost12:
if u mean 16 million colors then no the bootloader needs to be cracked
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] goth50:
Would it be possible in the custom 2.2 rom to instal mediascape and the SE stock camera application ? :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fightingroost12:
pls read around the thread
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] goth50:
Actually i did, and i coundnt find the right answer to that... :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Zer0_:
lol there's 112 pages in this thread :P
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dk2000zx:
You can just install these manually yourself
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ECBomb:
I may be asking an obvious and stupid question. But what's the point of having a custom 2.1 ROM if we have generic firmware with root access to get rid of unwanted apps to begin with?

Is speed THAT much more optimized from a custom ROM compared to generic + rooted firmware?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hypercore:
Even in a pre-alpha stage the ROM is MUCH faster.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ECBomb:
Ok, maybe another way to ask this is, what is TAKEN out for the custom ROM you guys are testing out right now that makes the phone that much faster?

Is the ROM overclocking the device? Are core apps that were originally included on the phone (but not necessary) removed? Somehow the full RAM potential has been released?

Am I even on the right track? lol
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrtim123:
well it is only a pre-alpha release....but.....the OEM SonyEricsson ROM is so full of customised apps and components that is is way slower. Imagine installing a fresh install of windows. before you install a large amount of crap it is really fast and snappy! the SE ROM has all this extra crap installed before it even gets to you so a fresh SE rom is still going to feel somewhat crippled :D

that is my take on it anyway!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Yes your along the right sort of lines. Best way to explain is, think of everything SE on your phone. It has all been removed and taken back to android in its purset form. Nothing added to it, nothing there that doesn't need to be. Just the naked OS and everything it needs to run properly.

Things like timescape and mediascape are good examples of this, they are needed in the SE 2.1 to allow it run the phonebook for example.

So now imagine your phone running just the essentials to allow it to work. Ok so it may not be quite so pretty but much much faster.

Another way of explaing, like a pc without all your stuff. It isn't so memory intencive and so it can run faster and smoother.

Best advice, like me wait till all the bugs are sorted out in the 2.2 version, donate whilst waiting for J & Z to do their magic. Flash, then blow your mind with the results :)

Edit; no over clocking yet, and when we can get a custom kernel on the phone will run at lightspeed, probably faster than the nexus one with 2.2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DangerPanda:
It could be possible, seeing what kind of magic devs have been pulling off already heck almost anything is possible. However, it wouldn't be as easy as just backing up the APK and restoring it since mediascape and timescape checks for the device's info before allowing them to work. Hope that answers your question.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ECBomb:
Excellent explanations from both~ thanks for clearing it up, I get what you guys mean now.

Basically it's the original Android 2.1 without any of the SE components. And even though root access allows us to get rid of some of the stuff, removing things like Mediascape would cause problems, so the original Android firmware would pretty much come bare with NOTHING from SE; hence, making it extremely quick.

Hopefully 2.2 can happen and we can be without Timescape and Mediascape. I don't use either one of them anyways. And it's no wonder why everyone's so excited haha.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Well I'm glad our explanations have helped you understand the significance of the recent develpments.

It is just android 2.1 or 2.2 which ever you for in their pure and native forms. If you go for either of these options you will loose things like the social phone book aswell as ts & ms, se back up/ restore and god only knows what else on there which SE deemed nesesary for us to have.

The best words to describe the effect is stripping down till its essentially naked with only the things it needs to work.

Really you are best to wait until work is complete until you flash as you will loose some functioality of your phone so keep an eye on the 1st post and check what's working and what isn't.

Personally I am extreamly impressed with what's been done so far and can't wait for a finished version of 2.2 which will be easy to put on the phone without messing around with .su commands and all that.

Everybody should donate as / when funds allow to help encourage J & Z as they are doing such a great job
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ECBomb:
Of course, great work needs to be rewarded!

The only things I think I'll miss are the dialer/phonebook and messaging look in the 2.1 FW. Other than that, I can live without anything else SE has incorporated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I'll miss the blue and black backgrounds and I must say the phone book is pretty decent atm but tbh I would rather 2.2 on my phone if it means sacfricing a few small things which are for looks more than anything else.

As soon as there is an easy way for 2.2 I'm afraid its bye bye for SE bloat ware and hello extreamly fast phone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dk2000zx:
Yeah me too, all i need is working 2.2 with cam working and video playbackk of course (for hd recording, youtube, watch movies, etc)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
I mean for the performance improvements there really is no comprimise and with no word from SE about their own 2.2 we aren't really left with a lot of choice. Even if SE said tomorrow they are going to make 2.2 it would take them much longer to do and I could almost guarentee it wouldn't be as fast.

This really is the joys of what's meant to be an 'open source' OS but I can't say iv seen much openness about it. There has been lies, grey areas, long delays and it really has been a roller coaster ride with SE.

Any way, enough with my OT ramblings and back on topic., let's see what J & Z can do for us tomorrow
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] originaljebus:
lol well i hope you wondrfull devs are still working on this one!, its the most anticipated one!!!! PLEASE! bring atleast the tester version out soon maybe by friday????

p.s: do calls work with this one???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] break1:
How should calls work if audio isn't working?!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
sign language.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] originaljebus:
Precisely.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mackdaddy187:
I tried it today and its snappy. I found a few bugs though.

1. You can barely hear the ringtone.

2. cant hear the other party when they call
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jingboy:
Gr8 work guys!! I wont b surprised if U guys released Andriod 4.0 ahead of google:p. Heard its named icecream or caramel:D . Is HD recording possible with the new rom? I guess video would be more smoother with custom rom since it has more RAM n CPU power to harness:p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MeZmeriZe_:
I think the q1 se multitouch will be froyo and i think it'll have 16m Colors too.

The x10 was SE first android phone, i think they have learned heaps from the experiance.. they made their 2.1 update much less locked up than their 1.6 roms were and they didn't have to. Also they are doing regular updates now for a phone that is about to be superseded by the x12. We should cut them some slack.... they made loads of mistakes so far, but they appear to be learning from them, which is better than some others out there.

Edit: added 10 USD to the Kitty, will put the other 10 in later.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leobg:
I highly doubt it will be 2.2.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Moleculinary:
So, after roundabout 18h of Custom ROM I went back to Genericby Flashtool.

Ich testes almoast everything. I can't really add anympre Bugs than already been posted. The Speed is very impressive. A firend of mine has a Nexus and i showed him, and he was shocked :D

With this type of ROM the X10 gets into a new sphere of Power. The Power its got is immense. Only the small RAM is a little too less for the power of the CPU.

I tried to open almost every App, and only when RAM told me, that there isnt enough free space i had to stop.

Super smooth und fast opening, scrolling even through a thread with almost 5000 Messages. On the SE-2.1 oh my gosh lagging at all. But here just a smooth scolling. Benchmarks at Titanium were ultra !

I cant wait for the next version ;) I'm surprised by the bery little amount of Bugs we found. Great work by j and z

Donation is done!

The only bad thing is, i have to manage my day by this slow and crappy se firmware... :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hott Dogg:
It will be OTA update, so it's not Froyo
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NightSidew1nd3r:
Froyo can be done ota, the missus desire got froyo ota. Was only 93 meg update.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hott Dogg:
Maybe, but Eclair wasn't available OTA and it was 163MB instead on 70MB vanilla ROM. So everything can happen and Froyo may not come OTA. If it ever will come :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Quasicoto:
If that happens id go double rainbow.

Anyway, anybody got 3g working yet? I really want to help testing but I need 3g because I use internet a lot.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xtrmshadow:
Nice improvements on 2.2 ^^ Keep on going J&Z , we're pleased with your progress and awaiting more news...try to work on 2.2 XD its very important to us X10 users.

EDIT : If ya need any C++ assistance,send me a PM (Not an expert but know a thing or two)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chiefy009:
Thats all I am waiting for before flashing it, well that and the calls.

Will we be able to mod this rom ?? fonts, bar at the top etc etc etc the same as we do at the minute ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mclaudio:
X10Mini

Hi there.

will this ROM (2.2) will be developed only for x10 or to x10mini also ?

i am willing to donate for x10mini
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MeZmeriZe_:
The mini and pro mini have customisations to make up for their small screens, not sure how good their experiance would be on vanilla android. Other than that, the same methods would apply, just different drivers. So if you can find a Dev with a mini or pro he can do the same thing these guys are.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RaDi:
the proplem thats faced me and hope u fix it fast withe 003 :

-the phone can`t call or receve calls !

-cam not working in video and Barcode scaner , and low pic quality with black and whit

-live wallpeper does not work yet !

and some crashes when connect to BT diveis or mount SD
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laill:
These question have been known already, j and z are trying their best to fix it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] macr59:
The first page --------------- The last page, and nothing in between.

Why read when you can just post. Lets see if we can get this post up to 1 zillion pages.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dubadai:
I can recieve calls but the speaker doesnt work nor can they hear me. I can call as well.

Live wallpapers work fine for me, tested all of them.

I got couple random crashes when I tried to run a sound file but I knew that would happen!

Great work guys!
