[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] badboybiky:
what about app2sd is it native in latest v.15 floyo?

@racht can you try to implement multitouch as a module as described in other thread.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
app2sd modules are in /system/lib/modules, to enable you should put insmod file in /system/etc/init.d/, I did not test app2sd yet, I will test it and if all is fine, I will release a single init file to enable it.

I suspect app2sd modules to cause crashes in CM7, will see.

MT : saw the thread, I will look into it, thanks!

We need to get r/w access to kernel in order to change driver, actually we neee read access just to get drivers! Once we get access I can get drivers for both X10 and X8, for comparing...

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] BehradGH:
how about crashes via super user permissions? like Root explorer or TB?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muzik_demon:
Racht, does floyo 0.15 contain your prelink map and battery optimization?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nizzle1:
floyo 0.15 can not open with an unexpected error in winrar

I have downoaded 102 mb.. Corrupt.

Again downloading .. Now its 115 mb...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Volfield16:
115 mb is the right size. I use 7zip to unpack this
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Compwxr:
v0.15 is awesome but it seems native app2sd not working, not sure why atm, I'm testing it and if I make it work I will inform. gratz racht
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Volfield16:
For now only bugs are that i have use unmount sd trick to install Angry Birds and PES, and old market but that in no really a bug :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Compwxr:
Confirmed, app2sd not working on this rom, if anyone has it working please post.

Thanks.

Another thing, try ext2/3 part if it works, I would like to know :)

Atm I'm testing with Fat32 part. clean card, not having luck.

Is JIT and APP2SD working in the 0.15 floyo vers ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
how can i have this look??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
Jit is working and enabled. And I know that there was a version of Floyo or GingerB. that could read ext partition as sd card and show all apps correctly. The old app2sd works, as I can see my apps. But cannot move them to sd. Maybe with one part or with racht's script that he said will do the job.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
Someone tried this?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Redpik:
It's the Eclair script to hack system and save to ext partition.

Edit: or not :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] klaus74:
guys i just ask: i want to try this, at the moment i have stock rooted and jit rom with ext2 partition and all is workin fine (i use link2sd to install apps to sd ext2).

Do i have to format whole sd in fat32 or can i leave the ext2 partition on?

Will the apps install automatically on ext2 with floyo?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] yonutm:
2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.15

i'm still getting... sd card safe to remove... when i exit from root explorer

any solution pls?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alil:
this files dosen't work with me...

but this files works well without partitions created!.. i dont know where is wrong.. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
no one helps me??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alil:
it is the launcher or widget? if the widget try beautiful widget or fancy widget..

if the launcher try browse in the market, not really sure which launcher is that, maybe HeLauncher.. sorry for that.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Volfield16:
It's Sense UI so you need sense rom or theme for ADW ex (it is in market if I remember correctly)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
THX for the help!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dave1977:
i am using this and it works for me fine on the new rom :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stoyandim:
I can't understand how native App2SD works. I enabled "moving apps to external..." in CM Settings. Then I tried to move many apps to SD card, but every time it failed. What am I doing wrong.

BTW, I'm using v0.15
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
Native app2sd don't work. On previous page alil post link to update.zip with which it works
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SimonXiDk:
That do not work for me, soooo... (:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stoyandim:
Okay, but can I choose which apps i want to move in the Sd card, and do i have to make ext partition for that?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
You don't need ext partition and you can choose what you want move to SD card
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dave1977:
i deleted ext partition with xrecovery once u have downloaded the update from the link i posted use xrecovery to install from sd card then to move apps to sd card go into settings then applications then manage applications choose which files u want to move to sd card press the file then it gives u the option to move to sd card
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mates95:
hmm ... I see that getting better with Floyo. how did the results of the Quadrant? I hope they stand up ... throw someone ss? :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stoyandim:
Thank you for the help. How i can move Apps to SD with no problems at all. Now how to install Angry Birds, and is there a lag after 10-15 level like before?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mukambc:
Seems like the 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12 (no prelinks) was better

than the new Floyo v0.15... This new version got more bugs than

the older 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12, like FMRadio,ANT+, I'm right?

=S
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
Try to install Angry Birds from Market. For me it works
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
I am trying the update.zip that someone posted above to check native app2sd.

The ramdisk.tar has modified init.delta.rc that loads up the modules (already included in 0.15).

Than installing/moving the app should create a secure container for it, and that fails.

Anyone has it working so far?

I used supplied vold as well, never have tried this before, but log is this :

I/PackageHelper( 2276): Size of container 5 MB 3215274 bytes

D/VoldCmdListener( 1586): asec create com.aradio-1 5 fat {} 10043

E/Vold ( 1586): Error loading mapping table (Invalid argument)

W/Vold ( 1586): Returning OperationFailed - no handler for errno 22

E/PackageHelper( 2276): Failed to create secure container com.aradio-1

Not sure how it's supposed to work?

2.2.1 upgrade

Just UPGRADED from 2.1.1.A.0.6 with an ext3 partition for app2sd mod and... have all my apps installed on previous firmware working!:) For the moment I think it's the perfect STABLE custom ROM. So we can relly call it upgrade.

The only think that I used to use on previous firmware is the TrackID app wich has disapeared. Racht, can you bring it back if it is possible, please?

In spite of everything, thanks a lot for this moment of hapiness today!

Keep up!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
No you're not
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
I installed update.zip from this link http://www.mediafire.com/?84iw10f04ak2u75 and it works for me
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
@racht - it's working for me on the mini beta, but I'm not that bothered by it. I like the linked ext version better :)

I did a clean install of mini beta 1 - no ext partition on sdcard, and it just worked.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Use shazam of soundhound from market instead.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Which version of firmware update did u have prior to custom ?

2.0.А.1.0.47 ?

2.1.1.А.0.6 ?

I am using 2.0.А.1.0.47, and these modules do not work somehow, will try flashing 2.1.1.А.0.6 now.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
I have 2.1.1.A.0.6
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chaosek:
Is there any difference between those firmwares in terms of using custom roms? Kernel is the same in both isn't it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mukambc:
Can you explain, why?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
So, I have updated to latest firmware prior to trying again app2sd.

Baseband did NOT get upgraded, and kernel looks the same.

Error is also still the same and nothing has changed.

Anybody knows more about this app2sd problem ? maybe it only works for those with small/big cards fat16/fat32 ? any more details ?

My card is class6 16Gb Transcend , single primary fat32 partition.

Can someone confirm app2sd (NATIVE FROYO) working with Floyo 0.15 ?

The log :

UPDATE:

this problem is solved by upgrading to baseband xxx15, take it here
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
I install again Floyo 0.15 and put that file in folder and it works for me. I have stock 2 gb card with single primary fat32 partition

in 2.3.2 cm v0.7 i cannot turn on the screen after i turn it off using the power key :(

i always have to do a battery pull and start the phone again. can someone help..??

edit- i unchecked the screen off animation option and now everything works fine.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DerEineDa:
This may be the wrong place to ask and I really don't want to be rude, I am just curious:

racht's floyo-rom and the miniCM-rom for the x8 seem to be quite similar, in theory. Before I waste a lot of time I just ask you guys: What are the main differences between those two roms? Did anyone already try both?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
New update is here... ;)

I'm downloading at the moment,and will give a try later.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
My rom is direct derivative from original Floyo, with a few touches like battery saving (scaling down to 122Mhz when not in use), more simple and smaller ramdisk structure, and hand-made prelinks that make it speedy :)

The mini port is also a Floyo derivative, with possibly more changes and modified internals like custom theme and maybe some additional software.

We are having a positive cooperation, the task is 100% hw support, so both roms share parts figured by developing community.

Diversity is the key to competitive advancement (c)Racht
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
Installed,the rom works great,it's fast. Quadrant score ~1060. Headphones jack works(headphones are auto detected). Up to 90MB free memory in Task Killer.Camera,wi-fi,BT,usb debugging works.

Problems:

Again the same problem with Titanium Backup,phone reboots. I uninstalled application from titanium and when killed the process,phone reboots.

Applications: Tryed to install 3D Pool Master 2 on sdcard(in settings->CM -> install location was set to External,game was installed but in App. Manager still can't move when I press move to SD Card.

Edit: app2sd is working!

Thats for now. :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cuecak:
everyone.. sory of being rude... its just noob question.. :P

i just thingking... can somebody took the power switch apk from this rom,, so i can installed on original fiirmware,,, replacing the origin one,,, been trying,,, but got parsing error.. dont know wats wrong... :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] esirad:
plz solve the random restart , its very annoying.

when i disconnect my vpn connection its say safely remove card and restarted.

tnx for ur best rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alil:
has this problems too.. "safely remove card and restarted"

sometimes, its on random. might be when the system is busy with program that stored with app2sd on sd card. im using class 4 sd card. is that really the problems?

for now im testing with separating regulaly use program and rarely use...

regularly:- like ym, papago, skype, im+, lookout/virobot and the program running on startup

rarely use:- like games and docs to go

the regular use should stored on phone (data and/or system) and rare use stored on sd, to prevent SD card busy.. for now all running well and no restarted yet, will update later if im wrong..

updated: it happened randomly, and no specific application (skype, root explorer, ym and others)...

someone who may know the cause please help. thanks

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
no -.-

Our X8 hasn´t a compatible kernel for MT/DT and because of the bootloader we can´t develop a new one ... so there is no MT/DT for X8 X10mini/pro till the bootloader beeing hacked
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DerEineDa:
I hope it's easy for racht to make wifi also work for AOSP, now that it's working for Sense. But I don't want to push anything. Being a programmer myself, I know working is most fun when you want to do something for yourself, not because other people want you to do it :)

I wish I wouldn't be so damn busy with studies, otherwise I would try to look into the android stuff myself.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Same opinion

Don't want to take racht in pressure...

But I´m so fascinated about the thema that we stand so short before an new and first (!) 2.2(.1) or 2.3.1 ROM for the Xperia X8 ^^

And @racht:

Thank you verrrrrrrrrryyyy much for your time and care for all X8 user
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
Asdoos there wont be a 2.3 till a fully working port of 2.2 then the bootloader starts getting cracked.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
I ask that because of:

AOSP GingerBread (2.3.1)	88	49.72%

i prefer 2.2 Sense
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Just uploaded a GingerBread port CM7, I personally prefer Sense roms.

If someone wants to work on this, go for it, I am waiting for Sense@Ginger first.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HAKA:
wow!! racht broda! thank you sooo much!! i just tried the gingerbread on my phone!! it's way too awesum than eclair!! sooo smooth and so beautiful!! hope its fully working soon! :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stoyandim:
Is everything fixed in 2.3.1 CyanogenMod 7 (Slide) v0.1 ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nok07635:
:(No...i have try it already...there are some bugs such :(as wifi, GSM
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] HAKA:
actually nothing is fixed in android 2.3! :P
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
2.3.1 CyanogenMod 7 (Slide) v0.1

Does that even run :o?

If so is it gingerbread!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JasoX:
It should run, since he has posted it here. 2.3.1 is gingerbread. :)

yes...it does boot...but nothing else is working...

Skype exiting causes SD unmount issue

Logging out (exiting) from Skype causes the SD card to unmount and the phone reboots. This is consistent. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Skype but it still happens. Skype is installed on the phone- not the SD card.

The 2.2.1 v.15 ROM is amazing. Thanks for all the hard work! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Boshe:
I'm using ext3 partition,atm with the v0.15.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drexlon:
After flashing to the Floyo 2.2.1 rom, I lost a stock language pack that came with the original phone I purchased in Asia. Indonesian is not enabled any longer so I don't have a dictionary to use while writing an SMS.

I've only found one thirdparty keyboard app that includes an Indonesian dictionary but I can't access the original one.

Does anyone have any ideas what happened to it or how to get it back?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ENVIR:
before flashing, you should backup with titanium backup..

Wow, unbelievable! You guys rock. Gingerbread with working cam and in the other thread ... Honeycomb !

I have an x10 stuck on CM froyo. I envy you guys :( Hope it could be done on x10 :D

Congratulations devs, i'm just visiting your thread:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
None of the roms are fully functional, especially the honeycomb one(nothing works). Froyo is the most stable and complete rom, but I wouldn't feel sorry if I had an X10... you got DT, Snapdragon processor and a big ass screen. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] stoyandim:
Now i hope that racht will make sense rom functional like the floyo one :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SIOUX1104:
Yeah, I know that. But im really getting bored with my phone. It is almost 1 year when I chose it over the HTC Desire because It has better appearance and almost the same specs. I'm looking at my friend's desire and I can say I really ****ed up chosing this over the desire.

Good thing, there are lot of custom roms which somehow made my X10 better but still it eats dust in comparison with desire.

Your phone is newer but look how far you've gone. I can see you have great devs around here as we have in our forum. Sad thing is they are inactive for almost a week. The greatest of them is almost 1 month inactive.

Im still hanging to this phone a bit more and see how far it can go:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] PhonerX:
@SIOUX1104

Yes, X8 is newer but developers have gone so far with it because there was a huge progress with custom ROM development for X10 at the end of last year. If not for that, I believe we all would be still stuck on stock Eclair. And another positive note is that great X10 developers are now starting to pay attention to X8.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
Bugs:

*Thanks to using MiniCM port files, now phone thinks that it has got hardware keyboard... So I can't use Terminal Emulator, and some other stuff...

*3D drawer bug still exists

*Sense framework (yes, it's bug because when changing themes within CM, Sense framework will make icons in status bar to have black surrounding)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
Why X10 developers want pay attention on X8?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] PhonerX:
@as-mario

You should ask jerpelea about that )) He has bought X8 to develop custom ROM for it.

I guess, he is just willing to help X8 users to also get newer build than stock 2.1.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alil:
for now, there is no explanation for this problems..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ryukenden:
Well i think racht did a really impressive job with these ROM's so far. We have almost fully working Froyo ROM which runs really fast, only problem i see with it are these "sd card safe to remove" reboots. But i'm sure he will get to the bottom of that too :)

On the other side jerpelea is doing hell of a good job on the 2.3.3 ROM, so in a real short time we got a good progress on the development of these ROM's.

Big 1 UP to racht and jerpelea. Really impressive work
