[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCGS:
Wow, just wow.

Installed the OS using the method in the 1st post - no problmes and I have been using the OS as my main for a good few days now.

So far for me:

-- Stable as anything

-- Faster, more responsive and generally 100% better than the original 2.1 from ****ty Ericsson

-- I love the default background, it's awesome

I have noticed a few little (little little) things.

-- LED's don't work (as previously mentiond) in between the buttons

-- Camera won't work in most situations (eg scanners) apart from the default 'take a picture' camera mode, however for a barcode scanner ScanLife works just fine.

-- Obviously no video recording

The biggest issue I have:

I noticed while in call the light sensor seems to reset. This makes the screen turn on and I generally end up putting the call on hold using my cheek or other part of my face.

To fix this, when I notice the screen light up, just remove it from my ear and put it back. It's minor but the most major issue I've had so far

Such fantastic work! I could kiss you but I would probably be banned lol

Hi! I have successfully installed this ROM and everthing works great (excluding all of the known bugs). Except that I'm not sure that I had installed the hotfix correctly. If I am not mistaken the hotfix supposed to install a Rockplayer app and enable camera led flash, or is it not? Because I cannot find any Rockplayer app and there is also no camera led flash enable function in the camera app.

I will be grateful if anybody could enlighten me here. Thanks!

possible solution to bootloop issue

I tried this first on my x10, then on an another, and both methods seem to work. I'm not sure what specific step is the the solution but,

- worked when i flashed coming from stock Rogers, ROM.

- sim card inserted into that was flashing

- after first boot, wait a few minutes while Android is launched before going back into recovery and flashing gapps

Stuff for bug list..

Having a great time with beta 2. No fc and stable for me but couple of issues:

Ssl over 3g doesn't seem to work. Only use it for email and it works fine over wifi for me but not on 3g, hsdpa etc.

Some issues when switching between bluetooth music playback and calls. Loose music connectivity and have to restart bluetooth.

When in flight mode you can enable wifi... and use it.

Thats all i've spotted. Oddly pinch zoom now seems to work in stock browser and google maps. Not sure why as i hadn't changed anything aside from installing a few apps...And sure it didn't first time.

Beta 3

Now that beta 3 is up and running, i guess this is going to need updating lol.

Anywho, the easiest way i found to update from beta 2 to 3 is

Backup with xrecovery,

flash new file with xrecovery

boot up to make sure its working

then go back to xrecovery and do an advanced restore,

select to restore only the data part that you backed up and reboot.

that way you have everything set up exactly as you left it without having to set it all up again.

I know many of you will not need this information but there are some who might. Plus i thought that i would do something useful with my first post. :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freak174:
Hello dear people!

For a couple of days ago I bought the X10, kinda familiar with it as Ive been an owner of the X1.

However, to the point. Ive succed to root ma phone and Ive installed busybox so that I should be able to install xRecovery. Which I managed to do without any problems.

The problem comes when I try to boot the phone, I do click the back key several times but I only get stuck with the Sony Ericsson logo.

Ive tried now to reboot more than 5 times, so Im asking you, is there a way to solve this?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Getting ready to do this, but I feel like I'm missing something. Where do you need adb? Seems like it's all done with xRecovery?

Or is it just for FAQ: flashing screen? Couldn't you use terminal emulator? Setting up SDK can be a lot of work for just one command.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayJ-1974:
You don't need ADB to install this ROM, just use xRecovery. There is no flashing screen with beta3, just write battery stats and then install beta3, reboot and then install gapps, reboot all via xRecovery.

Haven't had a problem with xRecovery in beta1, 2 or 3?

Takes a few more presses than it did to begin with.

You could try a manual install, change the file extension of the .apk to .zip and extract it, now put the three files you extracted in system/bin via Root Explorer and make sure you mount the system/bin as r/w.

I installed beta3 about 6 hrs ago and as I said above I have no problems entering xRecovery.

Try rebooting and when the white SE logo appears wait 2 seconds and press back 4-5 times, should go straight into recovery.

I have had it a couple of times with beta2 were the phone appears to hang at the white SE logo when trying to enter recovery so I tapped the menu and home buttons a couple times each and then pressed back several times and it should go into recovery.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodak:
xRecovery is included in beta3, so you should not install busybox and xRecovery after beta3 install.

So start over with Z's prerooted 2.1 firmware, then busy box, then xrecovery, then beta3 and gapps and you are done :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
It's not a separate backup. If you click backup/restore, it will bring up a list of all apps. The ones in neon green are your personal data. Scroll down to sms/mms/apn. That is your messages. You can do a full backup and restore and it will backup your calls, sms, contacts, everything. When you restore, you can hand select the ones you want. That way you will have everything backed up in case you missed one.

The auto adjusting brightness is still there but it acts like SE 2.1 now. Meaning that its not in the menu but can be controlled by the power control widget.

@rakeshkumar

Unless someone else has a better idea i i would recommend a worst case scenario solution of flashing z's 2.1 and then going back through the update process for beta 3.

@wintergreen

In xrecovery you can make a backup of your current setup. Then when you update to the next beta you can go into xrecovery and do an advanced restore and select the data file. It will put everything back as you left it.

Hope this helps!

First of all, sorry for my bad english.

Second, for all people who had the constant rebooting problem, maybe i have found a solution, it's seems that my problem was related with something inside the SD. :confused:

It's really simple, first of all, make a backup of your SD card, leave it empty, and make sure the only files inside are the Beta3.zip and the gapps.zip files .

Then flash beta3.zip, gapps, reboot and.. voilá!

No more reboots!

Not yet,Im sure we will have on once we start getting official 2.2 deodexed working ROMs out.
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
I think this sort of thing is one of the biggest real annoyances of not having Froyo yet. To be honest the leaked DK28 is pretty good, but I think everyone (myself included) feels hesitant to commit to things because we'll do it "after Froyo comes".

For the longest time I did not upgrade to the DK28 because I figured fully cooked Froyo was around the corner. Certainly if I was a dev I would be hesitant to put effort into a ROM or a kitchen (not to mention kernal) until the final version was out. The biggest problem with not having it yet is not missing some specific features, its just that all the development for the Epic has this somewhat tentative feel to it as we all wait for Froyo and the Froyo source code.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
exactly,I didnt want to make a ROM,but I had to get the name out there anyway,so....but yeah alot of devs really arnt giving 100% time/effort yet,but from what I hear somthing solid will be coming down the pipe very soon...
[Epic 4G General] computerkid23:
Sounds good fellas thanks I figured that just wanted confirmation .....im a themer and starting to learn rom development but want to get a stable froyo so we shall wait patiently as we have been
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
What exactly is "the kitchen". I haven't really seen that term here much.
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
A kitchen is a way of setting up custom roms on the fly. Usually it's web based - you click through a series of pages choosing exactly what features you want in your rom. e.g. I want kernal x, with theme y, with boot animation z, etc. Often you also get a list of apps you can have pre-installed on the ROM - typically freeware system tweaking stuff (Spare Parts, ATK, etc.) You get to the last page, click the button and poof, a customized ROM downloads to your computer. You just move it the SD card, load it up in recovery and you're good to go.

Sounds pretty great, because it really is, but no one is going to bother to set all that up until we have some finalized Froyo on hand. Really, it is unlikely to happen until after we have the Froyo source code, and then after custom kernels are released, which will take even longer.

In the meantime we wait...

A couple of things...

I use simple mobile as well and sometimes get those wacky low numbers as well... My build sometimes locks on Edge and it wont go to 3G so I just reboot it...

Right now, my APN settings just read Name: simple mobile APN: Simple. I dont use anything in proxy and port... Then i have the MMS settings...

This works fine for me but like I mentioned, sometimes (not often) i get low readings. A reboot fixes it.. This has only happened to me on the Nexus One HD2 build by tytung.. on MDJ, it has never happened.

The other thing to remember is that 3G is a shared service so someone else may have been using the service and gobbling up the bandwidth...

I am in atlanta and very typically get between 4-5.8MB down which is awesome... i live near emory and when class starts, my download speeds go down to 2mb or so because of the students using the bandwidth...
