Almost OFFTOPIC:

Guys, I have to tell you something. After I installed this Rom, I got angry birds seasons from the market. I played it for a while, and guess what... I realized that the pinch zoom was working quite well !!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????, so I fastly installed Multi touch visualiser to see if I'm wrong. When I touched the screen with one or 2 fingers, I got only one touch. BUT: when I started pinching in and out with the fingers near the sides, 2 points started to move in the corners. But that last only one seccond, and when I re-entered angry birds, for 10 minutes I tryed to pinch in and out with 2 fingers, the image didn't moved. :((

I will try to make a movie if I will see this annomaly again, so you can undentifiy what is wrong.

App2SD with the apps from stock don't work.... (I installed the apps at stock rom) and maybe it's because dalvik cache is moved to sd?

After installing Alpha-2 I get an endless loop at the cyanogen animation...

Now it works but I can't see the clock in statusbar... It's black Oo
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Asdoos:
market is crashing! have now reinstall the rom 5 times! but nothing changed!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
Go to Cyanogen settings and change color for clock. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] BehradGH:
changed EXT3 to EXT2 . no progress . still cant install many apps .
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
It will only delete system and cache.

BTW RC1 is up now.

Hello

I have now the 2.3.3 CM X8 J005 HACKDROID rom from racht. I want to install your MiniCM-1.0.0-RC1. but i am a noob.

Do i have to restore my stock rom? or can I install update.zip onto this rom?

Sorry, im a noob
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
Yes you have to flash the update.zip in xRecovery and you have to format data.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] timk1764:
Where's the link on the first page for CM-untouched gone? Themes are still messed up after the new update :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
AOSP/CM-Theme
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] 72andrew72:
thx! RC1 works perfect for me :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
ponanovn, why you do not updated Phone.apk and Contacts.apk?

Compass works if use file init.delta.sh on ramdisk.tar from beta2?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] treebill:
is anyone else having problems with root explorer every time i open it it get force closed which in turn makes my phone reset :/ i'm using ES file explorer which works just fine with root access
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boshe:
It's seems that nobody can fix that problems with Root Explorer and Titanium Backup.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] timk1764:
Thanks :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Bruno D. Dutra:
Awesome, downloading!

Thx man.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
I have the phone and contacts apks from stock android becouse the apks from miniCM for mini are modified for the smaller screen and looks F****D up on the X8.

Yes but many other things are broken with that ramdisk.tar
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] cruizz:
what da...awesome really fast...great job mate :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
what is broken?

What application use to create/edit files *.tar for Windows?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Bruno D. Dutra:
Just one question, how to use the native keyboard from the phone? I'm messing up with the configs here but still, can't figure it out how to do so.

I mean, how to use the QWERTY keyboard?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
this option is saved just by placing item "Stay awake" on widget Extended Controls. :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
Hold on a text field like in sms app and clock input data and choose your desired keyboard.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
App Torch is to use on X10 and not on X8?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Bruno D. Dutra:
Thx man, best ROM ever :D

Does this ROM have suporte to A2SD+? If yes, how to do it so?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
not for me. Looks correct (Contacts.apk/Phone.apk) . :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Bruno D. Dutra:
Well, I'm not able to download data from some games like Heavy Gunner and Guerrilla Bob using Wi-Fi, didn't test with 3G yet.

After I uninstalled some programs from my phone using Titanium Backup,I closed it,and guess what?

Phone not crashed. :)

Great work man!.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
I have uninstalled some system programs too. My phone not restart when I closing Titanium Backup. For sure that same on beta1, beta2 and RC1. How in older versions I do not remember.

I have always restart on closing SUFBS and Root Explorer.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boshe:
I previous version I think that It was rebooting.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
Can you fix compass asap? its wasting a lot of battery..

Sent from my X8
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Imppy:
skype still force close on quit ("SD card safe to remove")
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
I use ramdisk.tar and akmd2 from beta2 and compass works me. Wi-fi, bluetooth, autorotate, brightness, video and sound recording, etc work me too.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
I think it is more stabile with the one from beta2 but can someone tell me what program I can use for editing the ramdisk and what needs to be changed? (Windows 7 or ubuntu)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] stoyandim:
Can you make update.zip with the needed files for the compass?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
Yes when I have edited ramdisk.tar
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] doixanh:
@ponanovn : there is xCyanogenMini (CM7 2.3.3) from owain94 and jerpelea. I tried it on our X8, and it seems very promising. Lots of things work : GSM, 3D, Music, etc... Didn't try SMS, GPS, Headphone. Quadrant got ~1000. FPS is limited at 30fps (seems not so smooth).

You may try to customize it :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boshe:
What that .zip called HQ video recording?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Compwxr:
Can anyone make a update.zip with ramdisk.tar and akmd2 from beta version, or tell me where those files are stored so I can backup them and replace later?

Edit: Files stored in /system/bin

Neither Root explorer / Titanium backup forces reboot :D Great news! Hope Nobodyatall share the method with other dev's :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
miniCM work great compared to floyo 0.15, seems that it has a bigger autonomy. Just a few bug i report, anyone has autobrightness working ? Like floyo it sometimes alternates between high and low brightness, or screen off.

And second, "call" which is constantly in use when i use the phone.

see it in the INFO hidden menu.. Normal ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Compwxr:
Well for thoose who want compass working while there's no solution, follow this steps.

1- In MiniCM 2.1v Copy with rootexplorer or other related app ramdisk.tar and akmd2 from /system/bin folder, (you have to take r/w access) to sdcard and reboot into xrecovery to flash update.zip of newer rom.

2- Install MiniCM Rc1 and go again to rootexplorer and move the files back from sdcard to /system/bin folder. If it asks to replace files accept it and then reboot.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
What lines needs to be changed in ramdisk.tar to make compass work on RC1?

Do not report bugs if you have done this, restore the old ramdisk before reporting.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
Why someone just ask nobodyatal what changes he made to compas so we can easyer fix it,btw video recording realy is working.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Boshe:
We can record video in HQ :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] qsmyle:
Hi,

RC1 is a great job. :)

But "one-finger pinch zoom" should be optional, because I hate it.

Hard to use it and single finger scroll brakes down because of it.

Sometimes I scroll down with my thumb, the screen goes up instead of down.

I think this problem caused by "one-finger pinch zoom" thing.

Thx.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
Compass not work because to file init.delta.sh on ramdisk.tar is added this code:

# Symlinks for compass
ln -s /dev/akm8973_aot /dev/akm8975_aot
ln -s /dev/akm8973_daemon /dev/akm8975_daemon

this code is also added (for stability I think):

# Workaround for rmmod
mkdir -p /system/modules
rm -f /system/modules/2.6.29
ln -s /system/lib/modules/ /system/modules/2.6.29

chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/

and on file init.delta.rc it is changed:

device /dev/akm8975_aot 0660 compass system
device /dev/akm8975_dev 0660 compass system

to:

device /dev/akm8973_aot 0660 compass system
device /dev/akm8973_dev 0660 compass system

Compass for X8 it is akm8975, not akm8973.

Therefore app 3D Compass says that I do not have compass.

What application use to edit/create files tar for Windows? With use 7-Zip I can only remove files from archive tar...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
Geez, people... I googled "tar windows", here's the very first outcome: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gtar.htm

It doesn't hurt, really.

As for editing code... notepad++?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
^^ and what about using a linux distrib ? Its so easy to detar / modify, and retar.. windows sucks!

anyone knows how to install launcher pro plus?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
I've modify ramdisk.tar, replace with the original one and it work :) Well, the bousole is working, no bug to report. I've just replace the 2 lines as you said..

Here ramdisk.tar.zip, rename it to ramdisk.tar and put in /system/bin/ (backup the original..)

And modify permissions too, check all i think ?

Edit : 3d in google map still not working..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
No, you can try to find out on the web but i advises you to try Go launcher EX, really a good launcher.. With somes themes it's great
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] leaftheberry:
is it smooth as LPP and has widgets? not just style..
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
Yes it smooth, i dont use LPP so i cant compare.. And it has some widgets you can resize without paying^^

See it yourself : http://www.appbrain.com/app/go-launcher-ex/com.gau.go.launcherex
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
I've been using Go launcher back on my stock 2.1 days and for me it sucked - many hangs, slowdowns and stuff. Maybe it works better on an optimized CM ROM, didn't check it...

As for installing LPP - switch to adw launcher, delete launcherpro from system/app directory, install LPP, switch to it - tadam. It's been discussed here several times already, and in X8 general discussion as well...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] leaftheberry:
yeah i know that it was.. i did that, i deleted from system/app and tried to install the LPP. After deleting it asks me if i want to replace the app. I press ok, installation proces goes on and after that theres a note that application not installed. Thats why i asked =)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
Tibob77, thanks for ramdisk. Google maps have 3d view? And how activate 3d view in this app?

Btw app 3D Compass work me correctly.

I can't move to sd card app ShootMe and JustPictures. Other my installed apps I can move to sd card.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
Yes, in 2.1 it was working. Not really 3d but the map follow the north when pressing the compass button in top right..

And I dont know how to activate that, it is beyond my skills ! ^^'

Edit : what about theming, what's new compared to old version ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:

I'll ask again,what's that high quality video recording ??

Installed it using xrecovery and now when I try to record video got force close.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lov3boyz:
Can i know this 2 product (2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.15 or 2.2.1 mini Cm RC1 x8) which are the best 1 ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
Did you change autofucus? If yes you have to delete a foalder called camera somewere in data.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
I think miniCM is better, racht is focusing on CM7 ROMS.

Calibrate Compass

Hi,

I have installed RC1 with video and compass updates.

3D Compass and simple Compass app works without errors.

But the compass doesn't show the correct way to north.

I have never calibrated compass, how is it works? It says: move my phone arround in eight number shape. It has done a lot time but no result. :D

Any info about it?

Thx guys.

i have (maybe stupid) question for all of you?

is it posible to have on this minicm ROM, standard xperia x8 menu...i mean slide menu and so on...?!??

i realy dont like so much this launchers...

tnx :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lockieio:
you first raname camera to update.zip and after you install rename compass to update.zip.

so,put "update.zip" on sd card,restart your mobile and enter xrecovery. while there,there is a option install update.zip and hit ok. after quick install hit reboot. that's it :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] UAL4588:

Answer to both questions is that cmmini is based on 2.2 while racht's legend is based on 2.3. Basically, one is froyo the other is gingerbread. CM is cyanogen mod. Cmmini is cyanogen mod for x10 mini which P ported to x8. :-) :-) read the first post and dont forget to hit the thanks button. :-)

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Disastery:
What about installing apps? Like almost everything, but can't install simply anything...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
I just fixed the volume buttons, so that they can be used while the screen is off. This was surprisingly easy after reading the official android porting documentation. I especially like to be able to skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons now.

@ponanovn:

To fix this, just replace the contents of the file "\system\usr\keylayout\qwerty.kl" with the contents of the original "shakira_keypad.kl"-file (or just append the WAKE-keyword to the lines of key 114 and 115, but I prefer this solution, because it removes all unnecessary X10mini-related entries). This looks like this:

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED
key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 215 FOCUS
key 212 CAMERA
key 107 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

It may also be a good idea to replace "qwerty.kcm.bin" in "\usr\keychars\" with the original "shakira_keypad.kcm.bin". Just rename the file or create a symlink. I also noticed that the file "systemconnector.kcm.bin" from the stock rom isn't present in MiniCM, but there is a "systemconnector.kl", so maybe the corresponding kcm.bin-file should be present, too. These "kcm.bin"-files aren't needed for the volume-fix, but maybe this would fix or prevent other errors.

Also, I am just leaving this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTUwqxHpXMY
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
Can you upload the files?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Of course, see the file "system.usr.zip". Don't forget to rename "shakira_keypad.kl" to "qwerty.kl" and to assign the right permissions. Only this file is important to fix the volume controls.

EDIT: Or you can just use the attached volume.zip (flash as custom zip with xRecovery). I don't really know how to make zip files for xRecovery, so I just used a zip file from you as a template. Worked for me.

battery drain

Hello,I noticed a big battery drain in rc1,according to some forums,might be related to compass,can you please look into the problem?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
Noticed too, compass maybe.. It use sensor anyway.

I haven't checked it. And I confirm that changing tracks by long pressing keys volume works. I very often listen mp3 too. Big thanks.

Do you think that can make function play/pause for short pressing key camera?

Interesting question, I will look into it. I think it should be possible by changing the key-mapping with a hex editor.
