Hi All
If This Post Is In The Wrong Section Then Mods Please Move It
Im Fairly New To The Hero Scene Having Updating From A G1 Not Too Long, so i have no idea how the hero works too well
I noticed from one of the Dev's twitters (Benhaam) That the Xperia X10's Source Code Has Gone Public, And As Someone who loves to try all the different flavours of Android, I Wondered If Anyone Can Or Is Developing An Hero Xperia Rom... I Understand If Anyone Has Any Criticism With This Post, But Just Remember Im Fairly New To The Hero Scene
Would Love To Post A Link To This However I Am A Newish Member and still arent allowed to post links
I would love to try out an Xperia X10 rom, i know that someone over on the HTC magic forums had a port but it was removed as the developer didnt want to spend anymore time on it.
Once Again Sorry If this is in the wrong section..
I know what you mean its cool trying out all the different UI's available.
I'm sure someone probably will attempt to, but as far as I know its still running on android 1.6 so it drops the motivation slightly. My other concern would be that from all the reviews the UI (rachel) runs like dog on the x10 and thats got a snapdragon running the show so I'm not sure how well the hero would cope.
But saying the it seems hold its own pretty well with the latest 2.1 roms..

actually Nathan (villain vanillain roms) will most likely be porting a samsung rom at least it's another UI!

Yeah I Use Villain Rom Myself As My Main Rom And Have Read His Blog With Him Mentioning The Samsung UI, looking forward to that
I'd be quite surprised if the source code that Sony Ericsson have released is much more than the kernel source that they are required to release under the GPL. i.e. nothing to do with "Rachel".
At some point over the weekend, I may download it and take a quick look.

All,
I've recently discovered these 2 'Slim' ROMs, and was very excited to have done so...
My excitement soon turned to sorrow, however, upon learning that these slimmed down ROMs haven't been ported to Gio.
Now, KUDOS to the developer(s) that created them but wouldn't it have been a good idea to make it so that they can run on lower, less-powerful phones like the Gio? Currently, they only run on much more powerful phones, that have tons of RAM and power. These phones can handle full blown ROMs just fine, the Gio....not so much.
Just a thought.
Man! I wish I could get one of these for my Gio! I'm contemplating trying to install it on my Gio. It's not my everyday phone anyway. I only use it for data usage because I have an INSANE data plan on that phone. I have another phone that I use for calls, etc.
if its currently only for high end devices there's no way coming to gio.

What you've done here is akin to telling a kid that Santa doesn't exist, or like telling a fat kid that the candy's all done. :crying:
Only kidding bud.
Should I try it on my phone? What to do. What to do.
if its for arm v7(galaxy s and higher, htc desire and higher nexus s and newer , etc theres no way bringing it to gio
I've ported the Slim series, once. But it was buggy for me and i decided to discontinue it (Didn't want to fix the bugs...)

Wouldn't have the slightest clue how to do it. Plus, my life is such that I barely have time to sleep as it is.
That being said, is there anyone knowledgeable person who could possibly make a thing ROM (ICS/JB) specifically for the Gio? Any Gio lovers developing still?

Oh damn... I was talking about a rom in the LG P500 forums, called "SlimICS".
LOL I didn't know you meant slimmed down ics and jb... LOL u could've just said so.
If that's the case. Anyone could do that! Even I could whip up a "SlimJB" and "SlimICS" in minutes....
nono, i believe he means he wants a port of the slimics series rom, which is also on lg p500 forums, so technically, you are both right
and not barebones, he wants the rom i think but doesnt know it exist on lg500

Barebones? Heavens no.
Question, would the P500 work on the 5660? Oh! Poster did state that it's buggy. So forget about that.
Thanks all.
Still, any developers feel to work on SlimICS/SlimJB for Gio 5660? Puh-leaseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
This forum seems kinda dead now...once the Ion came out this forum thrived for a bit. Sadly no roms or themes
We have CM9 though, which is good news. Though sadly only a handful of us here can actually install it.
Delete
I would delete this post...i made a similar thread about 3 days ago... and people raged so hard. It was slightly funny, but i guess i really hurt someones feelings
so please remove or you will face the wrath of online anger...
Why? Its just disappointing to see that a phone with great potential have rarely any development. I understand that we do have devs here (thanks to all for CWM and other mods and such) but its still disappointing.
I'm hoping that when the Xperia T comes out in more regions that Sony will let us unlock the bootloader (though I'm not holding my breath). Once unlocked I'm pretty sure that things will pick up a lot. Kind of sucks that such a good phone is happered by something so stupid.

Yeah, once we are able to unlock our bootloaders things should definitely pick up. Hope that MIUI develops for the LT28 soon aswell. This lack of customization is killing me.
I guess that's what you guys get for being early adopters and hoping a dev community will spring up. If you want a phone for custom roms and other things you should wait till you are sure there will be developers for the device.
Complaining that there isn't dev for a device you already bought knowing at the time there was not much development is pretty dumb if you ask me.
I for one get a device because I like it as it is. If there is further development for the device after I get it great but that's just a bonus.
Just like buying a phone in hopes of an update is not a wise decision, buying a device hoping their will be development isn't any better.
You also have to remember the.ion wasn't a flagship device or one that was pushed very hard so there would obviously be less interest for the major developers to work on it.

I like the phone aswell, but coming for an Arc with an unlocked bootloader i just miss the customization you know? We can only hope that the ion will get dev attention eventually.

Thing to remember also is the ion is very much the same as the Xperia S with a few small differences so mods for the S shouldn't be too hard to convert to the ion.

Well said - you know what you got - it's your decision buying/sign contract for. So what's there to whine about. Xda is a plus IMO.

Also rather than complain you cam take actionand learn yourself. Android is one of the most open source project since html. There are lots of resources available to learn and I know this because I for one have noticed the lack of developments so I decided to learn.
Also begging for development doesn't help the cause. If you would like resources to learn start with developing simple apps and expand.

If i knew how to develop miui that'd be great...thats all im really hoping for
EDIT: Is there any big differences between the ion and the acro s? Cobrato's just released a method to convert xperia s roms to work with the acro s. Heres the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914328
EDIT2: Nevermind, doesnt work. Possibly we could figure a method to exploit his conversion to work with our ion?

But without CM9/10, you cannot port Miui.
Now, that Cm9 is out for ION, we can try and port it.
I will give it a try.
Proudly announce that there's a Vietnamese person has released an Rom Cooked name X-Ion Kudo v1 on local forum. Let's search and try
Just checked it out, nothing special. Just a stock rom with various tweaks that i could do myself. I'm really hoping for MIUI to develop for the ion
I have already tried porting MIUI. But I could not go beyond the MIUI Logo.
Since I am on CM9, it is easier for me to keep testing. Hope to get it right soon.:fingers-crossed:

I hope you get some good results!
I think one reason why this phone is lacking devs is that there are too meany of these xperia phones out that are all pretty much the same and with the prices being the same as well. I bought my wife the lt28h due to it having support for what t-mobile calls "4g". With these devices dev will come easier from ports of other similar phones. It is only a matter of time. We the owners of these ION phones have but only three choices 1. Learn to dev 2. sell phone buy one with heavy dev teams 3. Wait for developments. I for one would be happiest with a fully working ics/miui or a ics/ASOP. But I am pretty happy with just the stock rom for now.
We have now CM9, CM 10 and MIUI. Not so bad for a phone that has a locked bootloader in the U.S. and has begun selling in Europe at the same time as the Xperia T.
According to this, aokp Jelly Bean is on the way for unlocked bootloader.

I'm hoping we get a few more stock kernel roms too. Unless we figure out bl unlock someday. But overall, I'm pretty happy with current state.

Be patient the phone only came out a few months ago there's one Rom available in sxdevelopers but it's banned from xda and kernel wise elixer is out tweaked stock kernel, more will follow once people have enjoyed the stock firmware and want more plus there will be development behind the scenes so you have to be patient

Well, I am a developer so there are few things that you need to understand about development. I will suggest you read this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537883
I am interested in development for Xperia L. Xperia M is also a similar device and I think if a kernel & Rom works on Xperia L, it will be alot easier to port it on Xperia M with few modifications.
The first thing you need is CM. CM is the backbone for all developments. Almost all major ROMS are based on CM. In ROMS based on stock, you wouldnot see much changes apart from few modifications. So basically you will be using stock rom with different applications and system UI which can also be achieved via launchers/small mods.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU NEED TO DO IS ATTRACT DEVELOPERS FOR YOUR PHONE. Developers need devices to work on them. You can not usually make a rom unless you have a device. Some very experienced developers however make ROMS on devices they do not own, but they still need testers who flash roms on their device and send logs to them. however, the latter method is not preferred.
Once CM comes along, you wil see alot of development in short time.
I also suggest you read my top thread as it is basically some sense about ROM development. (link mentioned above)
Although I am a developer, but I can not do much unless CM comes available as I have very little experience in making ROMS from SOURCE.
A developer I am in talks with is interested to port CM to your device but this can take around 2 to 3 months. This also depends on donations made to developers so they can buy the device and actually work on them.
If you want I can help you with developers and I can start a thread here in general section about ROM development.
Good Luck!

So an update for everyone.... Well I spilled beer on my keyboard.... Can't make this **** up... So I just got a new keyboard( sorry it took a bit) but I've got a new one and back to work. I'm sorry for the delay but this is my first foray into rom development and while it might not be a big undertaking for most, this is a first for me. I'm going to attempt lineage first, as they have the most up to date documentation, this will not be 8.0 and even once it's out for us I probably won't go there for a long time as I do not yet have the skills to troubleshoot and provide a reliable rom on a brand new os (for us atleast) so thank you for the patience as I'm doing this with a 1.5 year old who loves to cause chaos, (lol), hope all is well and I will update as I can
I've just brought the phone, I'm in for a test.
Would definitely be interested in testing as well. Thanks a lot for the work you're doing. I think this phone has a lot of potential outside of what Sony has done for it.
