[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Ha. What devs?

4 monthes seems a little quick actually. You'd think it'll be much easier and quicker just to wait for the latest update than trying to port it ourselves.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] brixzen:
it's mean x8 will update to froyo..?? this is true news..??
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
No official word from sony, so I'd say no.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] droidjens:
Last I read was some "leak" from a Turkish SE employee. He claimed the x10 (no mention of the x8) would get an update to 2.2 in Q2 2011.

Found it: http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/12/03...al-froyo-xperia-x10-update-coming-in-q2-2011/

Considering the x8 has a lower update priority than the x10; doubt there's any point hoping for an update before next generation "mid-range" android phones come out, sporting 1ghz chips, 256mb++ storage and Gingerbread.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
Yes, there will be updates, but they will fix the bugs in the Eclair only.

No word from Sony that there will be Froyo on it, and some devs think that Xperia X8 wont handle the Froyo as good as any other phone does.....(i read it in some blog, if this information is wrong, then there should be no blame on me!)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
No word from Sony yet. But we don't see any updates(Froyo) on it for a quarter or so....
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Maze_fr:
In France, SFR just published 2.1 for X10 mini on 1th december, so i don't expect to have 2.1 on X8 before january / february.

It will let the time to xda dev teams to find a way to make it root :p
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
We dont need 2.2 we need option to install apps on sd card.

They can change 2.1 to do that.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
Just provide us with an easy to root build and we will do the needful :p
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isaac12:
hm ..... root to 2.1 is not. can not be started. sorry my english is poor
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
That's what I am saying SE should have provided us an easy to root rom :-)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isaac12:
yes you are right it should be easier but it seems that it is not so easy
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Why should they?

Again, why should they make it easy to root? It gives hackers a way into people's phones, by getting into root they could do anything they wanted without the users permission.

Having the 'super user' app isn't going to stop hackers from using the same exploit to gain root.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] FCW:
I agree even though we all do it we do so at out own risk it can cause problems. For those hoping for a 2.2 update SE confirmed a while back theyre would be no 2.2 update for the x8.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Where did they say that? I've never seen such an announcement.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isaac12:
so updates on the Android 2.2 is supported only for x10. It should also for x8 and x10 Mini / pro. sorry my english is poor
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] knzo:
Source? lulz
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Maze_fr:
I confirm.

I read it on an official SE thread somewhere but I don't find the link. And I read it on many "tech" blogs relaying the information.

They won't make a 2.2 for X10 / X8.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isaac12:
services are to be wish to improve sometime in the new year. They have the wish to improve Updates Android phone. do not know what's true, but wrote that one employee sonyericsson Czech blog. sorry my english is poor.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] trapacska:
hy everybody. i have xperia x8 too, and it has been updated to 2.1. i started to understand the 2.1 android. now i know how to decrypt my firmware from the seus dump. i have .sin files:

amss.sin
amss_fs.sin
cache.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
kernel.sin
loader.sin
simlock.ta
system.sin
update.xml
userdata.sin

when i would like to update it with the flashtool(what is used in x10 mini flashing, and worked to downgrade xperia x8) what files do i have to use? so if i change my system.sin and kernel.sin files to an xperia x10 mini custom rom, will i have a happy rom?(because i will edit a custom rom, and i take into it a su)

sorry for my english. i hope it was understandable.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
From what I understand you want to modify x8 rom so it has the flaws that x10 mini rom has so that we can root?

if you switch system.sin and kernel.sin there maybe two huge problems. First x10 mini has smaller screen(and less resolution) so its framework is built for smaller screen and secondly x8 has different screen and camera so you may have driver issues..

Is there any way to edit sin files?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Until I see any type of source, I say this is bull****.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dviktor:
hmmmm, if you change your system.sin, and insert there a root privileges....................then we are don't need an any another root programs :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
The problem is how?

Any idea how to modify sin files?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dviktor:
absolutly no. i serching it, but don't find yet :mad:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] trapacska:
jea. we can't find it. we have to do it. i started mod with hex editor. but i think it's not a best way.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pulpoff2:
.sin files are SIGNED and will be broken if modified.

You will not be able to flash anything, it's a pointless idea.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
Ah damn!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Leo_ming:
It sounds a bad news~~I am just hoping it can update to 2.2...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
I know i am being too optimistic.....but will Xperia X8 support Android 2.3???
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] hugerth:
I think yes, few days ago I saw website where somebody said, that anything, what supports 2.2 will be ready for 2.3.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
I am in a big trouble! I just came to know that I have ran out of space for installing apps on my phone!! someone please solve my problem!!!

Downgrade to 1.6, root, install app2sd .. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
naah! that's the only thing i don't wanna do!! :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] account1:

just for the facts, how many apps did you install?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
i installed 30 apps....but this so called "Eric-****" have already occupied space for about 20 useless apps!!!!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pulpoff2:
Using my rooted 2.1 solution you can make /data image any size you want :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] bnight:
pulpoff2 I have a question after you discover how to boot custom roms can we start thinking how to boot 2.2 Froyo on X8 if you have any suggestions or can cook a rom for this please do this.

I am personally more interested in getting 2.2 on my phone then get root in 2.1.

And I am sure you can do this.

Thank you in advance for this one.

Posts and attitude like those get on my nerves.Really,why dont you try rooting your phone folloing the guides?! Maybe you need someone to do it for you?! In that case,sorry.This forum is most definately NOT for you man!

I m a total smartphone newbie but still I m posting from an X8 with 2.1 root/apps2sd/jit and xRecovery!

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Blitzkri3g:
Well.That Eric **** comment and your impatience was the trigger for my last post.Try ignoring me...I spent like 6 hours trying to root the phone cos I really had no clue about what I was doing.Just spent hours reading and trying to get it right.I can do whatever anyone can do with a PC (Formatting,changing hardware...whatever) but I my smartphone experience index is only 2 months! It was no easy thing.

Btw,a fellow indian named Suhel helped me a lot I must say.Still no easy task for a beginner this rooting procedure.

Anyway,forget it and move on man! No hard feelings! We re ok! ;)

Mate, the 2.2.1 was ported by Cyanogen already. As for the port from that specific ROM, you want a bit to much. My advice is to wait a bit until they finish porting sense UI to galaxy S line. You won't need anything else then.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEscapist:
Besides, why bother porting it over when we'll have our own official release soon?

Are you sure he can push both the volume and power buttons at once? They are very stiff to press, you know!

Not sure if you can flash the RUU when in this state - is it communicating with your PC when the tirangle is up and it's plugged in?

Can you get into the bootloader? you haven't said from the earlier post. If so you could flash the PD98IMG to get it back to stock.

[Desire HD General] afrcom15:
Now we're getting somewhere

read this thread..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841890

you need to carry out the 'common steps' and then the 'install through phone' method.

This will bring you back to the state that you bought the phone.
[Desire HD General] RobTheRover:
LOL

;)
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Once in recovery, can you connect to the pc and flash the ruu to restore to default?

Not sure if this is possible from recovery but I'm sure someone will know...
[Desire HD General] afrcom15:
Not necessary, all that needs to be done is flash the rom.zip from the RUU (PD98IMG) the phone checks for it as soon as it goes into bootloader automatically.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Fair play. I just figured that for someone not familiar with Rom flashing it might be easier to simply run an exe file with the dhd connected to the pc.

As I say though, not even sure that's possible when in recovery.

I'm attempting to access the camera and its features through Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended.dll, but am only coming up with COM errors. Any help would be appreciated.

PhotoCamera cam = new PhotoCamera(CameraSource.PrimaryCamera);

when I go into debugging mode and inspect "cam" it shows that most of its properties are null. Does anybody know how to initialize this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GuestK00306:
You can only access the camera from the photo Chooser task:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.phone.tasks.cameracapturetask(v=VS.92).aspx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kaspur:
Using the official SDK APIs yes, but I'm talking about Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended.dll

There are more methods inside of this dll than is normally available to developers.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
Have you granted yourself the necessary permissions? You need to add ID_CAP_CAMERA to gain access to the PhotoCamera class.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
How did you get it load to solution? I getting error:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24eec0d8c86cda1e' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] titaye:
You need to get the file from phone image. When you got it, you can reference it in your windows phone project.

To allows compiling your project you will need to remove the strong name check on media.extended.dll (in a visual studio command prompt sn -Vr pathto.dll)

Restart Visual Studio and you should be able to build your project
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WithinRafael:
sn -Vr just whitelists the assembly on your PC. Why are your assemblies broken to begin with? All my GAC libraries work without errors (when referencing them). I suggest you work on extracting clean files.

With regards to COM -- what are the exceptions?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Thanks! I remove a strong name (now I have no exceptions at design time) but the app doesn't load. Stack trace:

microsoft boots it after a zune sync...tells you to uninstall it... any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
run the unlocker again and it will work again .
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kawgirlval69:
ya.. thanks... found that out... was looking for a more "permanent" fix... still the nicest and most functional flashlight... better than that white screen crap hands down.. even having to reunlock every time..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Thanks, but it's not so functional and a little buggy (was written in couple of hours, just for academic purposes). HTC have a real nice flashlight, cool looking and functional but runs on HTC handsets only... They directly (probably using native code calls) manipulating LED.

Will see, may be in future we'll have more expanded API (I hope so!)...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] davux:
Just a note, in case you didn't notice, or other people don't know, that we're leaking videos when using this as a flashlight. I'm pretty sure that videos and thumbnails are created in IsolatedStorage for the application. Uninstall/reinstall should clear them, but we should really delete them as soon as they're created. It'd be nice if there was an API that didn't actually record, but we'd need to see whats in PhotoLibEnt.dll to figure that out.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kawgirlval69:
lol i guess im not picky... it would be fine for me ... again only dislike is the having to reunlock after a zune sync... the other glitches are minor to me.. i mean it does whats needed... you tap..it opens..tap on it comes... tap off it goes.. that = functional to me... the cert thing is all i see bad..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
You don't need to reinstall the applications each sync. Just re-unlock it before opening the apps, and if you've already opened the dialog to be greeted with the prompt to uninstall - just hit the Windows Key to cancel and go back to the Start screen.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] davux:
Yes, I am 100% sure that it leaks videos.

You may delete them using the routines included in the public SDK for accessing IsolatedStorage.

Could you please help with the "PhoneApplicationService must be registered before constructing a Camera object." error I keep getting in my WP7 project when just calling the "VideoCamera _camera = new VideoCamera();" line?

What could be the cause?

As far as I see I've done everything...but it seems that even though "Windows.Phone.Media.Extended.dll" is referenced ok within the project it isn't copied insied the produced xap...even tough I even copied the dll into the xap/zip also but with exactly the same error again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] davux:
Windows.Phone.Media.Extended.dll is included on the device firmware and should NOT be included in the XAP. You should use sn -Vr to ensure that it shows up in the Add References list for a Windows Phone project. There are many threads here about this.

As for your problem, I can only guess that you are trying to initialize the Camera too early, are you calling it in the Loaded event of an ApplicationPage? Where are you calling it from?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dada.81:
Thanks davux for your reply. I looked at the code and you were right the InitialiteCamera() method was in fact being called from the constructor, however I've moved it to the Loaded method and it still gave me the same error.

Could it be because it is used in the UserControls Loaded method please? (I'll try to rewrite it now to check)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] davux:
Not sure.

When I figured out how to access the camera, I reflected Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended, and read through the source. That may be a reasonable route for you to take, find out what throws that error, and work backwards.

The other suggestion may simply be to modify one of the existing [working] projects, and see what happens when moving code into a UserControl. I would expect that UserControl.Loaded is still a good place to initialize the camera.
