As FroyoBread v023b seems to be the last version of it,could racht you update Floyo ROM to base on FB v023b?

Thank you in Floyo,CM7's ROM and Sense's ROM's jobs:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
I was hoping you can finish sense ROM. dx is focusing on CM7 :) looking for more stable release. sorry if this post considered as spam :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jonsey:
is Sense 3.0 or another version?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Griffrez:
Who said it was the last?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rolandh:
I flashed this ROM to see what it was like, going by the lockscreen I'd say it's Sense 3.0. But I forgot to check out the Sense version in Settings before restoring my 2.3.4 ROM backup as lack of 3g or wifi is a deal bteaker for me.

Roland
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
I had checked it out: In settings it says that the Sense version is 2.1.

It's a very awesome and beautiful ROM. I would definitely use this ROM when(if) WiFi, 3D, and Vibraaaaa is done. VERY BEAUTIFUL ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] exebreez:
The Menu says its sense 2.1 :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] GAME ON:
Thanks for this ROM.. ;)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] GAME ON:
U can go to dx froyobread thread..he stated that he has no idea what to fix..thus now he's focusing to his new project gingerDX..so maybe v23b is the last one.

Has anyone have issues with battery? Mine goes down to 4% in about 8 hours.

Im using CM7 (2.3.4) v.138 HACKDROID
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bbeanss:
have you calibrated your battery? with most of the roms ive tested (ive had a whack at almost all of them) if you calibrate your battery you get a fair amount of battery life out of them, with the rom im currently using (FroyoBread V023b) i can get two days without the need to charge my phone, and i spend a lot of time playing music, frequent use of the internet to download music/go on facebook

Beans
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ATBT:
I'll give it a go, thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
Maybe devs can do ROMs WITHOUT file batterystats.bin ?

This will reduce number of questions about calibrate battery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ATBT:
I just reset the battery stats in xrecovery, and also downloaded an app which calibrates the battery, after charging to 100%, the battery is now 90% and its only been off charger for 28 minutes.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
If you read some posts for this theme - you'll see , that you must discharge in usual way to 0%, then charge to 100% and only than try so see effect.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] WARR10r:
Then we will get new rule for applying ROMs? :-)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] samyeung97hk:
um,I think that will cause system unstable.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] samyeung97hk:
I didn't say v023b IS the last version of FB,I just said it SEEMS to be the last version.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Last floyo has all the needed fixes. I will update it only if we find a critical bug or if major feature is added such as netfilter or custom kernel. For now its very usable, there's just a minor glitch with maps but that's cause Google changed their own api in new ver.

I am using floyo 1 daily and I like it. Sense might really require new kernel to fix some problems so wait patiently :-)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wojtst:
Great to hear that :). Keep up the great work!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
great job you do racht..you are a very good developer. in my opinion your roms are the best, surely. sorry my bad english wheel in the air
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
Ratch...so could we get a fully working sense ROM??..:D....i am really into tat...:P..

Pls fix it faster..(sorry , i din mean to spam or pushing u..)...><
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
luke and your intention was? he said "wait patiently :-) "
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
ok..thanks for reminding me..:)..i will wait patiently for full sense ROM..:P..

Sorry for that just now..;)...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
hehe well said.. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] exebreez:
So we have to wait :D

Could this a help for you :

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/attention-sense-developers-sense-sdk-coming-soon/ ??

Do anyone here a idea why the sense rom wont work with multiboot?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] corsav6:
I,m using Doixanh's Gingerdx at the mo and it seems very stable and smooth, but i see your name mentioned over there so i assume it would not exist without you Racht so thank you. I always change Roms and i find floyo and froyobread the best cm6. I cant wait until Sense Rom is completed, it looks awesome.

I hope the kernel can be unlocked so we can finally unlock the full potential of our devices. Thanks for all your hard work Racht, we really appreciate it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Coffinator:
And that's why HTC has the best phones and roms, they're always thinking ahead. Unlike other companies (yes SE, i'm looking at you), HTC respects their users.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] samyeung97hk:
This Floyo is very stable and usable and we won't push you for another update if there has no any critical bug.

I think racht can share codes with GingerDX to fix the FM Radio in CM7's ROM and make 2D performance smoother.

For Sense ROM,I think the devs should slow down a bit on developing custom ROM and put more time on cracking bootloader(I'm not pushing the devs,it just a suggestion).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] corsav6:
SE are a disgrace to the mobile world. They sell you a product and if you have a problem then tough, they will not even listen. Its evident with Sony in general, instead of updates they decide to remove Linux support from Ps3. Great work Sony, if i hadn't got my phone for free then i promise i wouldn't be using SE. Also if XDA Devs didn't put so much effort in i think i would already be on the HTC or LG Bandwagon.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ambroos:
They changed a lot. Have a look at their new phones or at the X10. They are getting updates all the time. The X8 and X10 Mini's are their only phones that won't be getting any more updates, and they are pretty old anyway.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] exebreez:
Wasnt the X10 in the same time released like the x8?

And if you read the countless threads that it is a lie that a x8 cant run Gingerbread oder Froyo, you´ll see that the problem on the side of sony ericsson is. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
There are smartphones with official Android 2.3 with decent performance that have much worse hardware (actually in comparision, X8 hardware is still pretty good, bar stuff like camera and digitizer), so that's BS, SE just don't care about older phones, they want to force people to upgrade every year.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
The x8 is newer than the x10.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Coffinator:
The worst thing are the lame excuses. I've bought my phone, but at least i was knowing with who i'm dealing. And their other costumers?

They're getting updates because SE products are taking too much pressure from the other phones. They have worse hardware but an updated Android. What the costumer will prefer? So...

About SE, X8 won't be updated because the hardware is not suitable for Android 2.2. Someone must tell our dev's that they're doing it wrong! And beucase:

The SE excuses could be true if:

So SE is the example of a enterprise that didn't respect their consumers.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] corsav6:
Well said, i have been a fan of SE for a long time but their ignorance has forced me away. I'm running GingerDx quite smoothly and have also run Racth's cm7 without any problem so we know it's not hardware. SE, if you have stopped support for the x8 and dont plan any future updates then why are you keeping the bootloader locked? is it so we will get sick of our outdated phones and upgrade to one of your newer models? We are not stupid, we are a huge group of tech obsessed folk with the power and respect to influence peoples buying decisions, so is it a wise move to ignore us? i think not. I also think cracking the bootloader has become priority for devs not only to maximize our device capabilities but also to show SE that we will not be ignored, and devs here at XDA are far more efficient programmers than SE staff, its evident in the Roms. Floyo/Froyobread v Stock SE, only 1 clear winner.

EDIT: only 1 clear winner meaning custom rom v stock.

Sorry about the rant, I'm just pissed off with SE.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] samyeung97hk:
So I won't buy SE's Android phone anymore.

If they keep not respecting us,I'll never buy SE anymore.

1 more sentence:F**k you,Sh!tEricsson!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
"SE, if you have stopped support for the x8 and dont plan any future updates then why are you keeping the bootloader locked?" by corsav6.

oh yes, you have the reason..i don't understand why sony ericsson keeps the bootloader locked..IF S.E. DON'T DO UPDATES ANYMORE, THEN LET OTHERS HAVE THEIR OWN UPDATES!!!

sorry my bad english..wheel in the air..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] _JoaoCampos:
SE used to be an exception, it's now like the great majority of companies, first priority: make money, second priority: make even more money. Customers don't really matter, and it absolutely doesn't interest them making something to last more than a year. That's how it all works these days, durability and long term support isn't profitable.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I noticed that Floyo 0.30 is not using the latest LauncherPro version (which is 0.8.6). I tried installing it but it didn't update, maybe because 0.8.5 is built into the rom. How can I update it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
1.0 has the latest launcher. To update older Rom just replace the apk file in /system/app
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
ratch...can u tell me what you've been developing on the latest sense ported ROM?..so tat it will easierly been tracked?..:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I'm using Floyo 0.30 and my battery goes down when I am using my phone while it is plugged (and loading). What's up with that?

ps: my battery IS calibrated.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
How much it drains??? if it goes to 98% is normal, since if you leave your phone plugged all the time, it drains until 98% and then back to 100%. I always see this on my phone, even on stock rom :). It seems to be something to ensure that battery is working as it is planned to be :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
So far it has gone to 85 (probably as far as 80) when I was installing and uninstalling apps. It's the first rom that does this to my phone :/ I was aware about the 98-100 thing, but this seems odd. And it sucks because I am liking this rom a lot.

Do you know if this fix is already installed in the rom?: [FIX] Drain Battery Fix for CyanogenMod

Is there a list of features from each one of the Hackdroid roms? I can't find it anywhere.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
I don´t know, but it fixes the fast drainage of battery, not this issue of draining while connected. Btw, is the led notification on or not? Are you connected to a PC?? The PC recognized the SEMC???

Edit: I´ve never experienced this issue so I cannot help much!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Led notifications are off. I am connected to the pc (I never use the DC adapter) and my phone is being recognized (as I am also using MyPhoneExplorer). I mean, I am using my phone the same way I was using it with Froyo and miniCM, but with this one battery drains if I use it while it is connected :/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Did you tried connecting your phone to PC with it turned off to see if it charges??? since you said that the led doesn´t turn on, maybe is a rom issue. Did you make a full wipe?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I meant I didn't set any LED notifications, the led is green when it's connected and turns off when I unplug it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
did you already try full wipe on your phone?

I used the rom in which this floyo is based, and I didn´t have this issue on the occasion. :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
that is normal, indicates that battery is charged and doesn't need further charging.

if battery was low, it would be red/orange
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
yeah, but that's not my problem. The thing is that the battery drains when the phone is plugged (and the bat. icon shows that it is charging) if I use the phone.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
yea, it will drop even if its charging. Once I have a full battery, but then it drops to 96% even I'm not using it. I think that is normal(?)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Yeah but in my case it dropped to 80%, which kinda shocked me. I was used to see it dropping to 96, but 80?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I don't know if I did something wrong, but the lock screen in latest Floyo (0.30) says "Froyobread 0.23b by Doixanh@xda"
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
its based on dx FB
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
It's still kinda weird to see "froyobread". It doesn't disturb me, anyway

Same for me, especially after unlocking the phone.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragunov_lq:
hi i just tried to install salsa 0.15 and it is definitely a great rom but i got a problem about importing my contacts

wifi doesn't work

when i go to APN settings it says : no sim card detected

but i have signal and my sim is detected

so no connection with wifi or network connection and this way i can't use my gmail to import contacts

and when i try to import them from sd card it will stay on "searching for vcard file ..." and it will give me FC

so is there any other way that i can import my contacts to it ?

thnx in advanced

and it will be really great if racht fix this rom please
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] burimii:
i've downloaded Floyo (2.2.5) v1.0b HACKDROID , i have recovery installed , extracted the files in xrecovery folder and when i go to restore backup i see only my backup i dont see the one i downloaded !? how can i install it ?

thanks

Edit: after rebooting once again on recovery the files appeared problem solved
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] android167:
well, now we have fully working 2.2.1 and 2.3.5.

So whats next? Sense 2.1?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] KASHYAP9:
Hello Racht where r u ?

from many days there is no update from u.

i think u will update CM7-HACKDROID with fully working camera as Doixanh did for GingerDX

THANKS
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] GHoSTABUD:
I believe racht has his hands busy with a big project now, w8 and he

would definitely surprise us with 1 of his creations.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
You can download kuyaDROID. it also based on HackDROID, with CM7 nightlies build. I think racht is still focusing in developing sense ROM. dunno :confused:, just saying :D:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] samyeung97hk:
Ya, we have fully working 2.2/2.3 ROM. That will be good if we can have a daily use Sense ROM.

But in my opinion, cracking bootloader/making modules should be the first place now.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
Racht is soooo quite now..hmmm
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragunov_lq:
well i rather like to have functional sense cuz it is better than cm7 but i think the big problem about sense rom is RAM cuz x8 doesn't have so much ...

if wifi and internet connection and root permission and contacts importing was working with sense rom, i would definitely stay on sense ...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rockey_ssr:
what happen to him :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sendalterbang:

Hey guys

why floyo 1.b isn't smooth ????????

previous version was much better than ver..

pervious ver havn't google map and when i install map Error occurs (Force close map)

what can i do to fix it ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
Install FroYobread,last version of it is based on it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:

P.S Sorry, maybe little mistake.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Nahhhh... why don't you stop saying those bull****? All the devs have their personal lives also. They don't live for dev to us, they work and have other things to care. So be patient and wait. Thxs for who understand this

Summer ....

How do you think - may man go to holidays ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] MatthewWu:
yes!

haha... racht, i am waiting 4 your big update! I wish and i love sense rom. Maybe not just me.. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tyanno:
well racht deserves to do what he wants!

without him x8 is at this stage we are

i am sure he will continue pushing cm rom updates!

and he might be even working on a sense rom but i doubt it -

if then other devs would know about it

but then he was the first dev here

and maybe he didnt get respected

or more like there were too many people who were complaining rather than complimenting
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] elmanortega:
its not just about respect

its about money too

this devs are really good but they need to work to survive this is more a hobbie

people here dont like to donate

and this guys need money to support their families

most devs had to quit cause this was taking a lot of time from family and work

if we donate more they can spend more time here

just my two cents
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Greetz all and thanks for some warm words guys!

I'm alive and I check the forums from time to time.

As I mentioned, summer is the time when I try to split resources between friends/family/work and also try to enjoy the good weather :)

The roms (CM6/CM7) are at a final stage where they are pretty much perfect, the stopping factor is the kernel with sweet features that other msm7227 phones have by now.

I don't think we can much improve the Cyanogen, only port new versions and fix cm bugs as they are fixed in the main tree.

Our X8 is now quite equal to the rest of Android family in features and updates.

The Sense port that I know many are waiting for is stuck at the same issue - if we had custom kernel running, lots of HTC drivers would fit and make it much easier to port those roms, actually I believe Legend kernel with minor modifications will run on our hardware, making all Legend roms compatible.

At first I thought Ginger-Sense would be the perfect one.

I played with all the new HTC devices in the shop, and I can clearly see that Sense Froyo and Eclair are "smoother", and more fluently running on original hardware as well.

Thus, IMHO, the perfect rom would be Sense Froyo (Legend/Aria) with Legend kernel.

The reason to work more on 2.3 was the working sound driver, which we had to use from sony 2.1 roms. Now that J has built audio driver from source, our chances for 2.2 Sense are much better.

So to conclude :

I am not working actively on Cyanogen.

I do occasionally patch bug or two within Sense 2.2/2.3 roms, but still nothing major, as many things need to be recompiled first.

I do hope the bootloader gets cracked sooner or later, making my porting job much easier than now.

Enjoy your summer, and as doixanh said - don't expect too frequent updates, as there're no things left to be fixed in CM6/7 :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] elmanortega:
there you go

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmadsamhann:
We count on you to develop Sense ROM. kuya and DX is actively developing CM7. as DX you are father of X8 custom ROM! he won't succeed without your help :D

stop spamming threads, you've written this also in MiniCM thread and FroyoBread thread

btw how can you post in dev section with only 4 posts ?!?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bbeanss:
@Racht, your work is greatly appreciated by everybody on this forum, no matter wether they complain or not, your ROMs are still being used by a large quantity of the forum, wich goes to show mate ;)

@city-gsm, please, for the love of god stop Trolling/Spamming everybodies threads, if i am correct the 'ROM' you added to our section wasn't much to compare to this being as this ROM that was developed from scratch, by Racht himself and a few other REAL developers, not simply copied, renamed and mixed about as you have so done, if it were down to me (and yes, unfortunately it is not for me to decide) i would have your account blocked and your I.P. banned from this server, people like you who do such pathetic things do not deserve a place on the forum.

Beans.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] q_silverflame:
tq racht for the great rom. i love it using your rom especially the 2.3-Sense0.15 rom. the UI is very smooth and it have sense interface the way i like it. unfortunately the wifi n 3g aren't working yet. if there any other of your rom that have sense interface (i don't mind floyo) that have working wifi n 3g, because i tried your cm7-138, Floyo 1.0 n Floyo v0.20, they use launcher pro, not sense UI

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aldee_s:
change the folder name, don't use any space. e.g the location of the backup file should be : /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/yourrom/*.img

where yourrom means the name of the rom you want to install, and *.img is where the .img files should be.
