Well,then it's mathematically illogical.

Also,as the bugs r gettin to the end I just wondered mby we can have proper 2.2 soon.

I don't want to argue about the numbers of versions.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dviktor:
dear Racht, may be better do a clean AOSP 2.2 with only Xrecovery? coz all progs and applications only make the firmware more buggy. and i don't like a launcher pro. let us decide wich apps we wanna install. do not come by SE way.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
He is not forcing anything you can uninstall launcherpro just make sure you have a backup launcher before you uninstall. It can be because he likes launcherpro
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] WARR10r:
and i think many people like CM so.. nobody force you to use this firmware =\

@Racht, THX for work! hope you'll finish it soon =)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timk1764:
Floyo 2.2 videos seem to be working for me on the updated/latest YouTube app when I choose low quality, just accidentally discovered it, HQ causes the video to just freeze but audio keeps playing..

Thought I'd just post it up for others wanting YouTube vids and not aware of this :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Ok guys, just to stop the speculations and pointless argues.

The current situation is like this :

Our X8 is almost hardware-identical to the HTC Legend, the main differences are

Camera and the Led flash that we don't have.

Camera Flash support is inside the unified library responsible for Led lights on top, sensors and Vibra (libhardware_legacy.so)

On the other hand HTC Hero has no Led flash, and thus it's hardware lib runs perfectly on X8, giving access to Vibra and sensors.

But Hero has a whole different Sound mixer lib (causing volume-mixer bug) and Gfx hardware.

I guess at this point you understand that we need a mix of both to support X8.

Floyo sources provided at Floyo page (Floyo) are compiling well for both Hero and Legend targets.

So I was able to mix them a bit manually to produce v0.9 Floyo.

It was quite complicated, but still less time consuming than producing a complete CM build for X8.

The problem is the time it takes to build, on P4 3Ghz its about 150minutes.

If drivers fail to build or building is broken for some reason, I have to restart it all.

So I will look into build problems over weekend as I don't have time to do it during weekdays.

I suggest those of you who have linux knowledge and can setup the build environment, do so and I can post changes required to build, so we can do it collectively.

I have started porting Floyo Legend makefiles to X8.

Those who have the build environment setup and ready, contact me by pm so we can share source changes.

About Gingerbread - once we finish building Froyo from source, compiling Ginger will be easy.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
EDIT:On second thought don't do this it makes the rom restarts in few mins

For people using floyo 0.9-temp fix for app2sd(taken from x10 mini section thanks nobodyAtall and wiilweer)

1-Make an ext3 paritition

2-boot into floyo

3-enter this in terminal emulator or adb shell

su

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard/

4-Go to settings->sd->mount sd

You will need to do step 3 and 4 after every reboot it seems
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Whats about phone restarting with 2.3.2 ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] a-k-t-w:
What about it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
The phone is restarting/turning off every 5/10 minutes. If that can be fixed will be good.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cionn:
I've got the same issue on my X8.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] djtimon89:
me to... this is nonsense :mad:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
I restored previous copy, floyo was the best. But now I have original rom and waitin for fully working, big up guys ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Guys with the restarting problem, have you noticed anything happen before your phone rebooted? Such as a message saying "Your SD card is now safe to remove"?

Have you tried disabling JIT?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timsteels:
i am using the 2.3 gingerbread rom on my x10 mini and after changing the lcd density, it works really well. one or two problems though, it doesn't recognise my sd card, and i can't download applications from the market. other than this, everything that is said to work, works! :-)

good work mate!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
I see this message on 2.3.2 but restarts are random not every 5/10 minutes
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
dude if its nonsense then make your own rom jesus!

hes helping as much as he can . THis is a development ROM NOT COMPLETED YET.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] djtimon89:
i know but 0.2 work, does not work wifi

0.3 wifi work, but after lock screen my phone crashes :( and the phone is restarting/turning off every 5/10 minutes :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cionn:
Yea, but It'd be great if he makes a fully working ROM..

For now I'm only testing the ROMs, cuz I'm waiting that WiFi/GSM/Vibra and other main functions are fixed..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
There are just a few ponts why I not use the ROM´s(2.2.1 Floyo and 2.3.2 GB) all the day:

-3,5mm Audio jack doesn't work / Audio mixer bugged (in floyo)

-Crashes (expectly in Gingerbread)

-App2Sd

Thats all I need out of the things wich wasn't fixxed

But I know how it feels when people wait for your work and that's the risen why I gave racht alle the time of the world. Android development isn't quiet easy. Racht have a new post on the first page. So try out to make you own ROM for the X8 by yourself.

@racht:

Don't get in pressure . It's better to make it slow and the result is less bugged than make fast and afterworks the ROM crashes...

We all have wait an long long time to get Eclair on our devices so alle here can also wait for f(r/l)oyo especially when you are the own "cook" :D

Thanks for work ;) I can wait
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Can anyone tell me what they were doing on the 2.3 ROM when their phone crashed? I'm trying to reproduce the crash but I'm not getting it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
what is the most complete rom right now?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Yes I see that "SD Card is now safe to remove" ,or it was something simmilar...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Before that phone was restarting automaticly after 5/10 min. Before restarting I got notification SD Card is now safe to remove.Now i restored it and after screen was off,i tryed to unlock but phone was restarted or turned off.( can't tell exaclly what because when i press long Power on/off button nothing changed and after 10 seconds phone was starting )

Now...phone is working for 15-20 min and after first restart i lock the screen and there is no rebooting/shutting down.

I can't see that notification for sd card...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] groovepeppy:
Yes, same question here, which one is it?

I thought Floyo 0.9 ???
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Racht, can you look into the solution for usb mounting and native app2sd(and possible fix for some apps not installing) posted in x10 mini development section and try to make a fix for x8?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Racht, I tried to compile Floyo but it seems that there was some problems in the make bacon progress. I'll retry this evening.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sloniu:
hi guys, i think there is some problem in X8 that needs to be explained. I had 2 problems with my xperia:

- restart of all aplcations without restaring phone (enter PIN)

on shipped rooted rom 4/week

on floyo 0.9 10/day

- phone reboot

on skipped rooted rom very rare

on floyo 0.9 after ~6h instant reboot after entering pin

but on cm 2.3.2 there is no problem at all, from 36h nothing hapend, every thing works great, runs smooth and looks perfect
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MindTooth:
@racht: Upload to Github, and I will try building with you :) Maybe even support a build-system on a Cloud VPS somewhere.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
@MindTooth : first just try to build stock Floyo. I got errors building it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bnight:
Hello MindTooth exactly what VPS you need I can provide if this is needed for the project.

Please PM me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Disastery:
Who can help me? How am i able to do a screenshot of the interface ( for example on floyo and gingerbread)

Shotme doesn't working,he does a screen but doesn't save it. tried another screenshooters, but they don't work too.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sleep00:
try with myphoneexplorer:

client for mobile device

and program for pc

first run client

and then click connect on pc program (connect via usb, or pc program will find mobilephone via wifi if they are on same network), and you will find in extras on pc program option to take screenshot
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Disastery:
It doesn't simply recognize my phone via usb connection. Dont have wi-fi, so are there any other ways, or apps?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MindTooth:
Hehe :) Were just proposing to racht that we could create a build-bot somewhere. So that he don't need to worry to much about his own machine.

What can you offer? Spec wise that is :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
It's better to practice building as he instructed guys. I'll do the build this evening.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bnight:
I can offer a Core2duo on 3 Ghz with 2 GB Ram for that project and around 50-100GB disk space.

You think this will help ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tobi@s:
If I would know how to compile those things (The only thing I ever compiled is Sony Ericsson Elfpack) I could offer an AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.3GHz and 500GB disk space :P (And 4GB RAM) ^^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sleep00:
its a little bit tricky. make sure that you start client on mobile phone first, and than conect usb and start program on pc...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Download update.zip from this post.(thanks nobodyatall! :D)

It fixes

-USB mounting(tested)

-Symlink for /sdcard added(tested)

(this fixes games/apps which need sd files)

-Recognises both fat and ext partitions (not tested)

-No loss in stability
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] evilfox:
hello i could offer my help if somebody can provide with some information, so far i had working only with siemens/sony erricson elfpack , writing programms in c, c++, if someone could help me a little then you can contact me via skype: evillandfox or aim(icq): 5727835 :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Is this for Floyo or 2.3.2 cos I applied it to CM 2.3.2 an it wont boot.

Had to make a restore.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stylo969:
Tested it on floyo works smooth amd app2sd is also working good work
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Since I have installed the SD-Card fix I can install apps out of the market without any errors ;) SO Racht you are the best
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] antimadridista1:
usb mounting works,but i can't install apps again...triedd angry birds,updating launcherpro from market didn't worked too...

ANYONE KNOWS WHY I CAN'T INSTALL APPS AND GAMES TO SDCARD?

I have asked this for 10 times,but nobody answered me...

Tried it with floyo and gingerbread but nothing works!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
Can smeone tell me where im ment to type in these codes :|?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oawalker:
Can someone leave a step by step instruction how to install it because every time i try to install it. i cant see it on the sd card i tried renaming it to update.zip file but still doesn't work help anyone?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
figured out how to do it doesnt solve SDCard problem with installing apps.

Only fixed Mount.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Booted up 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.10,works good. Wi-fi is ok. Score on Quadrant is 1004.Bluetooth is working,Usb storage works.Checked up to install applications on memory card,and tryed to install Advanced Task Killer and it was failed.Changed back to Automatic and it was installed. But I got one question. In application system i go to End All and select up to Active Applications.Second after that I see in notification bar "SD Card is now safe to remove" and phone was restarted. May this be caused bu closing some system application?

In Advanced task killer I ignored System and when I turn off other running programs Messaging is starting up again. And when i kill all applications from Task manager got that Sd card is safe to remove and phone restarts.

What am I doing wrong?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] brixzen:
don't open root application... it will restart your phone.... ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
I get the same error but its random and not at all frequent 2 per 12 hours max!

Any fixes to some apps not installing eg angry birds, androzip?

And the update fixes games such raging thunder etc which store files on SD..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] frahmadani:
put the update.zip on the root of sdcard (/sdcard). boot xrecovery and choose "install update.zip". OR you could use floyo 0.10 i think racht has it fixed, cmiiw.

--

i am trying floyo 0.10 now, i think racht has fixed sd card issue in this version so i didn't use the sd card fixer-update.zip. here's what i noticed:

i didn't wipe my phone before restoring floyo, so when the phone reboot it still detects all of my previous apps. only some of them still opens, though. among the working ones are root explorer, doc to go, tweetdeck, jorte, colornote, winamp, titanium backup. so actually it's good enough for my everyday use ;) meridian opened but video playbacks are laggy. arcmedia won't open at all.

tried installing an app from market with app2sd setting set to "automatic", worked fine.

2 reboots after about 4 hours of use. both of them occured when i run titanium backup. after that, no reboot. so far it's quite stable and snappy. thank you racht! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] k3ksik:
Something wrong with run apps, many applications crashes.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
Is it important to make full wipe at the begging, or not?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cionn:
You're gonna translate it into Croatian??

If yes, could you pls upload it somewhere so other ppl from Croatia could have use of it? :D

Yes
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Found this thread at samdroid with updates for G-Apps http://forum.samdroid.net/f10/google-updates-3468/ but latest market won't install apps on floyo .
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
My phone is restarting even when I kill proccesses from Advanced Task Killer. This was first time to restart it when I killed Titanium BackUp from Killer. If there is any specific application that I shouldn't kill,if that makes phone restarting? And I can't move app's from phone to sd card. In titanium backup it says its done but memory is still unchanged.

Anyway it's working great.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
I updated from Floyo 0.9 with update.zip to 0.10. It's ok. 5h since then and no restart. I kill processes and open a lot more. I get some Force Close at some games. Youtube works only with HQ off. Speaker volume seems to be lower with Floyo. Mounting SD is ok. Installing works just fine.

Another minor bug is when i press Star (favorite) for a contact and get back to contacts, star isn't saved.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Јust to ask if there are anything wrong:

I extracted floyo 0.10 to xrecovery/backup and via xrecovery do the backup. It's good or I should install as update.zip?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
Yeah, if you have 0.9 just restore system from advanced restore. And, i think those lines from update.zip are already implemented in this ver.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Before that I was having the stock rom (2.1.1.A.0.6). And I extracted in xrecovery/backup and restored from xrecovery.

Well it seems that everything is good. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Anyone who wants to use Floyo rom to connect to an adhoc network, do the following:

adb shell
su
mount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system -o remount,rw
exit
adb pull /system/etc/tiwlan.ini .

Edit the tiwlan.ini file, find

WiFiAdhoc = 0

Replace with:

WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = <yourSSID>
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0

yourSSID is your adhoc ssid name.

Then push this ini back:

adb push tiwlan.ini /system/etc/tiwlan.ini

It will show your adhoc network in wireless settings, and you can connect :D I didnt try with CM7 rom.

When I try to install the ROM (Floyo 0.10) I always get an error "MD5 mismatch".

How do I solve the problem?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
You can not have spaces in the name of the folder so name it something like "floyo0.10"
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
I have some problems with brightness. When I was playing 3D Pool just minimized the game and started again,my brightness was changed. It just was very bright.My brightness is 20%

After testing the Floyo ROM for a while, I've experienced a bigger battery drain.

While I was on the stock ROM (rooted), my X8 could survive 2 days without charging, but now, after few hours of playing around with it (about 5 hours), the battery fell from 100% to 49% :(

Not sure if it's supposed to be like this, but in my opinion this ain't good.

Otherwise, I'm happy with the ROM. It's fast, Quadrant score 1040+, and has now almost everything working (the main things-WiFi, GSM :D).

GG Racht, keep up the good work ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DerEineDa:
You are sure this isn't the reason for the battery drain? I've seen a lot of people claiming the battery life of there phone became worse by using a new rom. But this is almost always not the case. The problem is that people use their phone much more intense after installing a new rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ojojoj:
dont work too:(

restored to SE rom:(

which app is responsible in floyo for lighting?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cionn:
I'm really sure that's not the case..

I installed Ninja Jump and Angry Birds, played about 30 min and talked via Skype for 10 mins. A little bit of internet surfing (facebook, google etc.) and tweetdeck/tapatalk.

Nothing special, because I'm using it the same way as the stock ROM..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] klaus74:
for now i'm not seeing more battery consuption than eclair.

I confirm that videos don't work and some games from market don't install (angry birds for example). And except camera, it seems that everything else works like a charm.

Besides that, this floyo is twice faster than stock eclair, unbelievable.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] antimadridista1:
how to install angry birds on these roms?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
My phone uptime is 9h and battery is 95%. I was using the wi-fi about 10 min,talking 5 min and something more... I didn't noticed any battery drain,maybe with stock rom with this use battery will be 96% not more...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] suhel28:
does flash work in the browser?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
No. But I don't have installed Flash Player. Tryed with Flash 2.1 but It says application is not installed.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Still debugging market installs problem.

Interesting find :

to install angrybirds I had to REMOVE sdcard from phone, than install it normally (i used adb install from desktop)

Somehow market problem has something to do with app2sd scripts, there's broken install probably.

I do not have app2sd on my sdcard, (1 fat partition).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sincan01:
can someone tell me which libs are used for 3.5 mm jack. I'm trying to help racht for fix it
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] suhel28:
ah well I was looking forward for this rom thing only for flash if its not there than am happy with my eclair....

How to App2SD in floyo v0.10?;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] redsock:
where's the application installer on 2.21 floyo? :O

we must manually download?

and is there a way to uninstall the preinstalled apps like

- launcher pro

- chrome to phone

- clock

- compass

- dsp manager

- equotes

- gtasks

and more?

because it always show me uninstall unsuccuessful ;(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cionn:
I have noticed the headphone bug and the volume mixer bug.

But now when I go to About phone I get a message 'SD card safe to remove', when I press 'Clear' in the notif.menu my phone restarts :(

EDIT: I tryed it again, but the error didn't show up :/

And why are some apps missing in the Market?

For example I cant fint flash player, normal angry birds (not the season pack)??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] klaus74:
i'm keeping floyo instead, the stock SE eclair is too slow and laggy compared to it.

btw, how to install/move apps to sd guys? It fails every time i try to do it with built in froyo's app2sd
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
I tried this and this works and can used as a trick till this is fixed :-)

Installed angry birds! It's smooooth..

To install apps which are available on market , just unmount the SD card and install

To install apps not in market get apk from net, move apk from SD to /system or /data , then unmount and finally install

Angry birds work! :-D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hugerth:
I tried same method. Copied .apk to /system, unmounted sd card, install and re-mount sd-card and that amazing game works ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] klaus74:
doing this you install it to internal memory, don't you?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Yes but if your other apps/games are in the ext partition, you should have plenty of free space in internal memory..
