A Question For The Dev's.. Xperia X10 Source Code

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.

Atrix got CM9 ICS ROM!!

Yup, the Atrix 4G, the phone I was previously on, which my mom is currently using, just got a CM9 ICS ROM -_-;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445052
We need to start moving and trying to get ICS on the Nitro. Even the Rezound also got AOSP ICS port, albeit some things still borked.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-rezound-gets-pure-aosp-ice-cream-sandwich-port/
Despite all the talk of starting slow with some improvement ROMs and maybe a CM7, I hate to say this, but we need to get either CM9 or ICS, or at least some kind of progress towards it. Every phone out there, old and new, are getting ICS or CM9 infused into them, I don't believe we can't do so with ours. We will spark much more interest in people and members here and maybe even more Devs if we bring ICS to the table. What do you guys/gals think?

I agree.
This is my first Android device and I really enjoy it a lot, thus I hope this phone can get a lively community of mods, roms, etc. At the same time, the SGSII LTE HD will be launching on AT&T soon, and I think that in order for this community to thrive we need ICS before this launch. The SGSII LTE HD is just about equal to the Nitro HD as far as specs are concerned, many who demand 720p and LTE will have the choice between the Samsung and the LG. Due to reputation, Samsung will undoubtedly outsell the Nitro.
I write this not to be **** and try to boss around people who donate their time and receive no more than some meaningless "Thanks" count. I am very appreciative that we have people like Bytecode, Kernelpanic, Cloudraker, and Malnilliom. (sorry if I left some people out, these guys just came to mind)
Lastly, does anyone know where to get guides on doing things like "ROM-cooking" and CM ports. Like I said, this is my first Android phone and I really don't know where to begin looking for this kind of information.

Yeah, I didn't even know about the Skyrocket HD until someone mentioned it here on our thread, and I immediately thought to myself, "Aww F*** we are screwed now". I think it's a **** move by AT&T to release their "flagship" phone under LG and then less than a month later announce the Skyrocket HD. Sorry to say this, had I known they were gonna release the Skyrocket HD, I would've waited for it over the Nitro. But alas, what's done is done, there's no need to cry over spilled milk, the best thing to do is to move on and prove we have the better phone than Samsung does. Anyways, I never was a fan of Samsung Phones since they started making phones. I find they always look..cheap
So with that, again like red solo cup said, thank you to all who have contributed countless amount of time n effort to support us; Let's bring it to the next level!

Best of luck. LG phones usually have mediocre/poor dev support.

Heh , Dont have a nitro but i just synced CodeAurora ICS Port for MSM8660 (thanks to codeaurora for making life a bit easier for qcom products) , My first Task would be to port the kernel , Test it with CWM (before i brick my friend nitro)

Does it mean great things when our device is on the main page? Or will it still get overlooked. Not being sarcastic, really curious.

I'll be here but i can't port anything to any device as i'm not that knowledgable i could bring stock heavily modified roms though.

I didn't say anything was great, I would not know what great means in terms of development on a phone released 7 weeks ago.
N
In that time span a cwm has been developed and 2+ roms with atleast one more announced on the mainpage so someone here at xda seems to think that warrants front page headlines so I am trustin their judgement as well as acknowledging the hard work devs have already accomplished.

It all sounds good to me. I'm new to all of this so I just don't know what to expect.

Im very curious what Revolution is trying to bring to the table with his Domination HD Rom. More as the story progresses

WE should not even be thinking about sense/CM9 roms on here for awhile.

Quite frankly, I don't think CM will ever get around to making a ROM for this phone.

CM9 is being ported to the Lag Nitro by Ricardo Cerqueira. Head out to his Google+ to see what he's done.

Looking forward to ion development

Hey Guys, I just wana make a brief comment on some of the issues I'm reading here. Some of which have already been addressed so please excuse any redundancy.
Im sure some of these things will very soon be resolved w sony updates but rest assure soon as a root system is achieved the power to change them will be in the hands of the user. I've been developing on the X10 ever since its release and have watched it become one of the coolest development devices available half of which before Sony was really on-board w independent development.
Most of these things (except for the speaker issues, which just come w the "thin phone" territory I'm afraid) can be related most likely to excessive syncing, etc from att/sony bloat. There are some things that may be able to be done now to help but prob we'll have to wait for root to see any major improvement.
As far as the device goes, if u can deal w the speaker it will most certainly be a hellova phone in the very near future. I just ordered one and will provide a complete review as well as any tips or suggestions I might have just as soon as I can get my hands on it. Prob first of next week sometime is w I expect the shipment.
In the interim Id b happy to help assist anyone w any possible solutions I can provide. earbrain

I was in the X10 community and they did amazing things with what that phone had so I have hope with this one as well

I got my Ion on Sunday and couldn't be happier with it. I've had the X10 since it was released. What an improvement. Big thanks goes out to all of the x10 developers that kept me interested in the phone for the past almost two years!
The Ion is incredibly snappy. I don't mind the lack of ICS at the moment but I really miss the notification dropdown toggle widgets for wifi, data, gps, etc. Once some development occurs, namely root, this phone will be amazing. My only concern is the fragmentation of the Xperia brand. The x10 was available worldwide and had many developers working on it. At the moment, I believe the Ion is only available in Taiwan and the US. It will probably take more time before substantial development occurs for this phone. I just can't wait to remove all of the AT&T garbage off of this thing. Even so, it's a huge improvement over the x10. Just my two cents....

I wouldn't worry about dev (or lack there of) on this phone, it's a given.

MIUI V4?

Is there any hope to see MIUI on this phone? I read that MIUI only develop on phones that gather lots of attention and popularity such as the Lt26 (XPS)

I think the phone's getting attention, every Bestbuys around here is sold out of the SXI.

I'm sure the porting and creation of many things is about to be under way. I've already started ripping apart the framework files for theming, and I'm already working on a new boot animation for my phone. Gotta use android commander to inject the files atm, but at least I can play now.

seems same of xperia s. MIUI should work
Seems Xperia Ion and Xperia S sports almost same hardware..
Should be very easy to port MIUI on Ion, so...

any devs into GLIDE CM 10???

the long waited tegra 2 ics is now available so means the drivers to put HWA into function is available too...is it mean that a full working CM10 (or jellybean) rom will be developed soon seems all the crucial drivers are available now...
but 1 thing i found that there are less strong or experienced developers are using the glide as their phone and cause us have less power custom roms and kernels...
maybe we need to promote our phone to those optimus 2x and galaxy r developers...they have strong devs there...cause the devs were using those phone which is much popular and familiar than the glide, but they have lower hardware spec, no keyboard and with 512 only ram...and the devs did a good job on optimized them...
i believe our phone will be freaking STRONG if there are numbers of devs willing to optimized it...

Yes but people are usually interested in the hardware they have purchased. So how do you get someone who does not have the hardware interested in helping us out? Please recall even DMan had someone lone him a phone for him to help out. The glide is a great phone but unfortunately has not sold as much, as other popular phones.

maybe we can gift a GLIDE to devs like owain94 from optimus 2x or arcee...they are strong devs and they have a real good base knowledge on tegra 2 device...

We have dman workng on a rom as we speak... this should of been posted in the general section to btw

I suspect he is but has dman said he is working on a new ROM? I'm curious if he is making his own ROM or porting CM. I think Inception was just a stripped down official version of 2.3.5. I would love to see a CM 10 port and not just a repacked stripped ROM.

Oh my gosh with all the discussions about this. BE PATIENT. You all have no idea how much time it takes. Take a look at Inception. It took 1 week just to theme. If you want a stable, JB rom for bounty, the Collective doesn't release half ass working JB builds. Take a look
dman3285 from the Gnote thread said:
Jellybean will be coming soon.. but only when its stable.. no need to release a half ass working build.. just an update.. we are known for stability, not for being the first to the finish line, quality is our goal...:thumbup:

Please forgive me, I'm sorry for being harsh but I've seen so many threads about this in such a short period of time. Dman and his team the Collective dev for 4-5 devices. I've been learning dev for 6 months and so far all I can do is basic tweaking to apks and decompiling them, as well as putting them in a zip.
Seriously. Just be patient, some of you. Reported for moving, btw
P.S:
This is not a port. It's compiling from source. 10 times harder and time consuming. But less chance for bugs.
P.P.S:
Inception was made without the device. It would've been near impossible to build AOSP blindly. (AOSP is pure, vanilla, Android)
P.P.P.S:
This is not an opinion poll. The devs make it how they like it, you're lucky they post it for you. They could just keep it to themselves. Feature requests are always good, but not "I like CM but I don't want a stripped modified ROM"
Thanks

After having spent the past 5 hours flashing various kernels/ROMs in my gf's xperia x10 mini pro due to various bugs, I will have to agree - in the end, stability is a must, and I am certain dman is working his magic as we speak, no need to get impatient

Everyone is being patient. Were thankful to have any devs working on this device. I just havent seen any posts directly from dman about what he's working on for the Glide. I could have missed the post, thats why I asked. But it would be cool to see a post directly from him about it and not just speculation.

Thread moved
No matter how patient everyone is being, these types of threads still keep getting started in Development. They do not belong there. They belong in General. Keep them in general. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please, everyone, just take a sit, grab a drink, and wait for dman to do his magic

I'm all for quality over a rushed job. Dev'ing is hard, especially for an under-popular device like our own. Fewer fellow devs to help out and carry the load, and more people putting the pressure on because they're impatiently excited.
Give the devs their time, it will be alright. I'm still happy with INCEPTIONv1, more so than the leaked ICS.
