Xperia X10 - Android 4.0.1 - Ice Cream Sandwich - ALPHA!!!!

[stalindud]

y doesn't de camera work??

[sopdogg]

@stalindud Different camera libs that don't work with ICS. ICS for the X10 is built from scratch and doesn't use any of the Sony Ericsson files. Hopefully it will be available soon. But as of now, no.

[TheStormBullet]

If my Xperia pro will stuck at ICS 4.0.3, then I will cyanogen it, but I hope ICS will go further on on that device. :)

[sopdogg]

@TheStormBullet That's why XDA is around. As long as there is developer support, there will be Jelly Bean and beyond.

[RansomOfficial92]

no shit it's laggy, it's an Alpha -__-

Hope if this does get fully released, it's able to work with the overclocked kernels I have on my X10i :)

[MrJACKDSILVA]

i want plz



[lukas918273642]

werry slow :/ the better choice is some 2.3.7 rom with theme or just ics launcher

[lukas918273642]

are you running on vista ?

[nepalitan]

it is laggy, but it's great if you consider that this phone is nearly two years old (a veteran in the smartphone world) which started with 1.6 Donut.

btw, the guy from the video/uploader sounds like Marshall from HIMYM :D

[jonkell]

March or April come out, that read

[thedoubleking1001]

Will android 4.0 bee able for the xperia 10

[sopdogg]

@thedoubleking1001 Not officially from Sony Ericsson. As you can see from this video, ICS is able to run on the X10 but as of now with bugs. Hopefully a stable version will be available in he near future.

[tffghh]

When month ganna stable this upgrade for x10i?

[sopdogg]

@tffghh I hope soon, but who knows for certain. There are a lot of wrinkles to iron out.

[TheDeLeG3nD]

Is it me, or is it laggy as HELL?! :O

[sopdogg]

@TheDeLeG3nD Yes it is. It hasn't even passed Alpha stage yet.

[stinsens]

@TheDeLeG3nD

Push Set-CPU or the likes and with works allright.

[SOF006]

Hope fully this is what the xperia mini users get instead of these annoying shortcut icons in the corners of the screen

[satreck]

Se te agradece bonito Trabajo

Salu2 desde mi x10

[Markavich]

This is amazing. I used to feel screwed by Sony Ericsson shortly after getting this phone, but developers such as Zdzihu have really helped keep this phone fresh. Thank you for all your hard work and determination. I cannot WAIT until this ROM is stable for everyday use.

[sopdogg]

@Markavich I completely agree. Can't wait for a stable version!

[mentorhamiti]

how can i install on ma xperia x10 android 4.0 can you help me

[sopdogg]

@mentorhamiti It is not worth it right now. If you watched the video you would see a whole lot of bugs. I will make a video when it is more stable.

[andrewszeto121]

@sopdogg Do you know when XDA will release the "official" version of 4.0 or atleast a version usuable for everyday tasks?

[johnnylanza]

bueno mi pregunta es la sigiente, como puedo yo ponerle en android 4 a mi xperia y q funcione a la perfeccion

[sopdogg]

@johnnylanza Gracias. Ahorita no hay una possibilidad de un rom perfecto con ICS. El rom esta en Alpha. ICS es muy nuevo, creo que neccesitamos esperar por un largo tiempo para un rom perfecto. Voy a hacer una video cuando hay un rom cuando que estable. Lo siento por mi espanol!

[Patrik1990Mega]

CAN USE ON SONY ERICSSON XPERIA MINI??

[sopdogg]

@Patrik1990Mega NOT THIS ROM. CHECK THE XPERIA MINI BOARD ON XDA DEVELOPERS. I SAW A XPERIA MINI VERSION ON YOUTUBE.

[blazeshowz]

why its lag he unlock his fhone==~?

[sopdogg]

@blazeshowz It's an early alpha rom & isn't finalized yet. This rom isn't made by Sony Ericsson nor will they release ICS for the Xperia X10. That being said, through the efforts of the developers, they are striving to keep the X10 relevant by releasing new roms for our phones. I'm glad the possibility is out there for an upgrade. W/ time it will get better. I wish I knew how to develop so I can help with the process but I don't. If you want to help, learn how develop & create a better rom.

[aceplaya84]

thanks bro i hope you find something for us fans and make a video for us :)

[12klaka]

sure, in the end its alpha version , and this rom have most imperfect, but witch time it will be change ;)

[aceplaya84]

hey sopdogg ! anything new with the x10 yet ??

were waiting to hear from you bro :)

[sopdogg]

@aceplaya84 Jerpelea or FXP is releasing a more stable version of ICS/CyanogenMod 9. He will be providing a download link soon. Supposedly most of the rom is working except for the camera. I'll try to upload something when it drops.

[sopdogg]

@aceplaya84 Here is a list of working and non working items from Jerpelea: WORKING AUDIO - ok GPS - ok WIFI - ok TOUCH SCREEN - ok CWM RECOVERY 5.5 - ok BT - ok GSM - ok VIDEO DECODER - ok 3D - partial - sometimes crashes GRALLOC - with bugs GSM DATA - buggy - for some networks works for some does not work HOTSPOT - ok - command line for now USB MTP - settings->storage->push menu->usb computer connection->media device NOT WORKING CAMERA

[0077kobra]

neumis si stahnout aspon hypercam pri nejlepsim fraps

[sopdogg]

@0077kobra I'm not sure what you mean. The download is from mediafire.

[D3kaay25]

the phone battery will decrease?

the phone operation sistem will be bugged? will be slower?

are there any problems with it?

it is worthed to upgrade from 2.3.4 to 4.0?

PLEASE PM!

[sopdogg]

@D3kaay25 There are too many problems to write down :)

It is in alpha stage so nothing is really working other than the phone. My suggestion is wait until a more stable version is ready. CM9 will be released soon so stay tuned!

[88dipendra]

it looks lyk disaster ...nth seem to working well ..... :(

[sopdogg]

@88dipendra That's why it is in Alpha Stage. Only for testing purposes. Only install if you want to test it out, otherwise wait until a more stable release. I just wanted to show that the possibilities are out there to updating our phones to ICS. Now the waiting game starts.

[12klaka]

This rom is very atraction but its lots of lags , and i do not change my android

[sopdogg]

@12klaka Yup. It is still in Alpha so it is only for testing purposes. It isn't ready yet. CM9 will be released soon, which looks like a beta version coming out very soon.

[12klaka]

@sopdogg if this rom will be refinde , may be i change it, becouse it looks interesing ;) sub ;D

[sopdogg]

@12klaka Thank you very much! Yeah, hopefully it goes final soon. CM9's release will be soon and supposedly everything is working except the camera. That being said, it still isn't perfect. GSM and gallery only works intermittently.

[Alexis6488]

Does anyone knows how to install this?

[sopdogg]

@Alexis6488 Yes. The link is in the description. You have to have a rooted phone. Create a FTF bundle for the downloaded kernel files and flash via Flashtool. Then flash the update zip via xrecovery and it should work. Please note that not all features are working as it is in Alpha. You can make calls and that's about it. Only flash if you want to play with ICS for a bit.

[Alexis6488]

@sopdogg Thanks it helped me

[pappachook]

Is this new update going to fix the staggering on music playback that started with gingerbread?

[sopdogg]

@pappachook There is an audio stutter fix available in a flashable zip format. You have to be rooted and have xrecovery to install it though. Check my previous video for a link and a general idea on how to install it. Or you can just flash a new rom and it will already be there.

[dpukvinu]

why is the phone too slow

[sopdogg]

@dpukvinu The Xperia X10 has always been slow. On 1.6, 2.1 or even 2.3. The way we got around it was to use custom kernels. There are no custom kernels available for the ICS port currently as it is using the famous 2.6.29 kernel by SE.

[ossibang97]

thats a launcher not a update !!!!!!!!

[sopdogg]

@ossibang97 What makes you think it's just a launcher? I've included the link in the description, download it, install it on your phone and let me know for real if it's just a launcher. Oh and by the way it's called Android Development.

[seyoum2]

heard that ice cream sandwich will no more support flash (no more like gingerbread did), instead they want to focus on html5...

[sopdogg]

@seyoum2 Ice Cream Sandwich will support flash. Adobe will update the app for ICS but will no longer focus on Flash as they will shift to HTML5. Apple has won...hahhaha.

[conklase1102]

@seyoum2 flashplayer update is out now as we speak for ICS

[TheOnlyDealMaker]

@okanbig , all i see is your mum

[okanbig]

i'see porno

[sopdogg]

@okanbig Not porno, porn star. Muahahaha. Do you recognize who she is?

[sopdogg]

@ooo1429ooo CM9 will be coming soon. Hopefully it will improve the device. Otherwise, it will be time to upgrade!

[qaz29801500]

it is so lag

[sopdogg]

@qaz29801500 Yes. That's why it is in Alpha stage.

[StarHawer]

Hogy lehetne felrakni ??

[sopdogg]

@StarHawer I am not sure how to compile it. I take what the developers give us and test it out. I have no clue how to develop.

[MercMode]

its tempting, but ill wait for a better release..nice work Zdzihu

[arielingo]

ESPETACULAR..! CUANDO LO MEJORARAN? PARA PODER USARLO, POR QUE ENTIENDO QUE AUN NO ESTA MUY ESTABLE.

[sopdogg]

@arielingo There haven't been any updates as of yet. Hopefully it becomes more stable soon.

[ahmadzx100]

i hop ICS will be available soon for x10

[heuykiller]

Will ICS be avalible to the x10?

[sopdogg]

@heuykiller Not officially via Sony Ericsson. Recently we heard that CM9 will be available soon!

[Daniel87XG]

very slow speed and not: /

[sopdogg]

@Daniel87XG Yes it is. It is still in Alpha as such, it is not fully working yet. But for an Alpha version, this is pretty damn good.

[plushoom]

it seems to work for kernel only with unlock bootloader

[sopdogg]

@plushoom Hmmmm, interesting. I do have an unlocked bootloader but others are saying that it works for locked bootloaders as well.

[plushoom]

@plushoom

I dont know how they installed it on a locked BL, flash kernel always aborts

[josephbilling]

@sopdogg thanks for the offer, I'll come to you first if I want help! Heh, the first review I read of Skyward Sword was a bad one and it turned me off and made me sad. Then the next day I read about a hundred glowing comments/reviews and now I'm interested again :D Still don't want to expect too much from it though. Funny that we chat on random videos... not bad just funny :)

[thingjimenez]

wasssssssuuuuuuuuuuuppppp!!!!

[sopdogg]

@thingjimenez WHAAATTTUUUUUPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

[amintha100]

need help

i went to the xda thread and downloaded the rom and flash tool file.

to install this do i just

install the rom using xrecovery

then use flas tool to flash the kernel

or is there a different way of doing it ?

[sopdogg]

@amintha100 I don't think it is in FTF format yet. The one I downloaded was in 7zip format. Unzip it. There should be two files: Kernel.Sin and a update zip file. Backup your rom first because you will lose xrecovery when you install this. Transfer the update.zip into your SD card. Download the latest flashtool, convert the kernel.sin into a ftf bundle via flashtool and flash it. Restart phone, get into CWM5 just like you would xrecovery, flash the rom via CWM5. Reboot your phone and done.

[amintha100]

@sopdogg thanks bro... just to clarify, make a back up using xrecovery.

then flash the new rom and so on....

how do i restore my old rom back up if xrecovery is not there?

[amintha100]

@sopdogg i converted the kernel.sin file using bundle creation in flashtool. and for device election X10.

but when i tried to flash it. it didnt flash.

[highjump44]

lol nice pics bro

[sopdogg]

@highjump44 Hhaha, you caught that. You know who she is?

[highjump44]

@sopdogg

Thats My Girlfriend Douchebag jk, I bet she's your girl or a creeper picture of Facebook

[sopdogg]

@highjump44 It's actually a picture of me with Charmayne Star (NSFW if you google her). My buddy and I went out and saw her when she came in my hood for his birthday. I thought the tattoo was a dead give away. Hahah.

[highjump44]

@sopdogg

I prefer Rachel roxxx and rachel starrr. If only if the picture frames could play vids

[highjump44]

@sopdogg

But back to video, great vid just wondering what rom are you using now

[sopdogg]

@highjump44 I have two X10s and a Galaxy SII. Running the TEAM Rom and ICS on the X10s. Using them for testing purposes. I love the TEAM rom, optimized stock with transparent menus, additional/extra tweaks, plus everything works! Coupled with Doom's latest Kernel, it is blazing.

[yoblako77]

@sopdogg d'accord autant pour moi. Je souhaite aussi que dans un futur proche cette ROM soit complète et accessible

[yoblako77]

C'est pas fluide du tous

[sopdogg]

@yoblako77 No sir, not at all. It is in Alpha stage and it isn't supported by any custom kernels yet. The Kernel is basically stock as such the frames per seconds have been capped at 30 and no overclock yet. Once custom kernels are available, the experience will be much better as with the X10. Stock X10 is very laggy and made many owners very upset. I'm just happy that a port is possible and I am hoping for good things in the future!

[shahwali11]

android 1.6 better th.. android 4.0.1

[sopdogg]

@shahwali11 At this point, probably! 1.6 is fully working and the ICS Alpha is still in the works.

[nightwing369]

DO you reckon this will get ported to the x10 mini Pro in the xda forums??

[sopdogg]

@nightwing369 I want to say yes, but supposedly a lot of older devices won't be able to handle ICS. If the OG G1 gets it then there is a chance. More than likely, we have to hope for a working CM9 for it.

[themysteryman36]

ur video tells me that my x10 is gonna be better than xperia arc...:P :D

[sopdogg]

@themysteryman36 X10 is very similar to the Arc. But an optimized Arc will trump an optimized X10. But you can definitely make the X10 better than a stock Arc IMO.

[josephbilling]

Nyan Cat was my first thought too :D My X10 is still virgin, I guess you could say... I've never gotten into any of this cracking, rooting and bootloading business. Good to know the info is out there though! Ha... I've never even installed an app from outside of the Market

[sopdogg]

@josephbilling Hahhaha, no worries. I have a few how to videos if you want to take a gander. If you download the latest flashtool, it is easier than ever to root, crack bootloader and all that fun jazz. Let me know if you have any questions if you ever decide to do it. Have you checked out Skyward Sword yet? IGN gave it a perfect 10.

[plushoom]

do you flash the kernel.sin which has cwm5 and then the zip ?

[sopdogg]

@plushoom That's what I did. Use flash tool to create the FTF bundle first and then flash the kernel. Get into CWM5 and flash the zip and voila, you got it.

[plushoom]

@sopdogg

what means: create the FTF bundle ?

[sopdogg]

@plushoom The kernel is in .Sin format, you need to make it into the .FTF. Download the latest flashtool and then open it. Go to advanced, then bundle creation. Find the Kernel and create the bundle. Remember that the ICS Rom is in Alpha and it has bugs in it. Internet does not work yet but phones and SMS works. Also, this is for the X10 only.

[plushoom]

@sopdogg

thank you so much, very helpful

on xda they are so arrogant with newbies...

[sopdogg]

@plushoom Sorry about that. XDA isn't always noob friendly. They want you to search first which can be quite daunting. It gets easier with time, believe me. I'm there all the time too and can definitely see how some people are treated for not using the search button. My goal of this channel is to provide a safer environment for people to ask those questions. Noobs are my main demographic as this channel is directed towards them. Hahaha. Hopefully what you learn here you can pass it on to others.
