Help with Android on Xperia please.

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and would like to say firstly, hello and thanks to everyone for the info!. I've had my Xperia X1i now for a year and love adding apps and games and stuff but Android caught my eye the other day and i've spent nigh on 4 nights solid, running in circles trying to get info on installing the right version but to no avail. Would it be possible please to let me know step by step on what to install, how to get the correct version and also how to "tweak" the startup.t please? I would be forever in your debt. Thankyou.

Where do you get the idea all those problems are already solved ? Maybe asking in that thread would help. AFAIK no progress was made beyond what what HTC users did.

Welcome!!!
Hi!
Dr.Sid is right, have a look, read the thread and join the discussion!

If you're a lazy guy grab one of the packages our nice fella japanfred has put on his server. Get it here:

Please don't ask what to do with the archives, maybe you're able to point that out yourself
Cheers,

Much appreciated guys, and thanks for getting back so quick. i am at the moment trying to get my head round how much i need to play with this thing, (in a good way). I am in need of a good project to work on, and i think i've found it. Thanks again to you both. Hopefully speak to you in the near future.
Cheers.

[Q] Market Help Please!

Before i start let me say i have spent many hours trying to figure this out!
Tried many method to many to write down! but no joy!
i bought a galaxy tab p1000 th other day! it was on 02 so i rooted it and unlocked it! there was no problem there!
but after i hard reset my tab the market reverted back to the old version 1.82
not only this but app i paid for in the past didnt show up on "my apps"
The apps on the market were very limited no "z4root, snesoid, DVR," Just apps that say things like "rc1". weird!!!
i update the apk myself to 2.3.7 (root explorer) which gave me the new looking market but nothing changed with "my apps" and still limited apps on market!
When i got it it was android market 2.xx and worked fine.
Tried
-settings-applications-uninstall updates (and all other caches and probably fixes i found on xda)
google framework, talk, market updater, so on!! trust me everything......
-many hard resets
-unrooting/rerooting
This has stock firmware no flashing as of yet!!
Please Can you help!

For someone who has spent many hours trying to figure this out, you could've also spent some time to figure out the correct section to post in

After you figure out where this post really belongs (or when the Mods move it) try searching by name in the Market for the apps you bought. They should appear in the result and it should say "Purchased" if your main Gmail account is the same one you used for the purchase. If you then click on "Purchased" you should be able to install them
Works for me if and when my paid apps don't automatically load.
For some reason I've only had this problem on my Galaxy Tab but never on my HTC Legend where the apps always load automatically.
Also keep in mind that not all apps can be used on multiple devices even if you've paid for them

Well said!
It really baffles me why so many get to the stage of rooting/flashing their phone but don't have enough common sense to realise that they have no business posting topics such as this in here, especially when there is a dedicated Q&A section and this obviously a development forum.

Yes... utter nonsense and rubbish if you ask me. It's little wonder the Dev forums are so overcrowded with clutter

Cheers man, good luck on that Tab!

install market enabler and after rooting your device(check bible thread) run it and choose any operator, or custom with enabler codes app. clear market cache before running enabler and hopefully all'll be fine.

Hey dude, you are so COOL because you can write in caps
You cant expect help if you post in wrong place, please use common sense, If you post in wrong place, obviously somebody is going to point it out to you. I'm happy to help anyone as long as they have the courtesy to read forum titles/use search.

In the right section I'm helpful. In the wrong section I'll help too, even when the help is a rebuke. The people who rebuffed you did help with your greatest need - to get you to post in the correct forum so your problem gets attention, not your manners.

Seems like we have yet another happy customer. Good work guys!
Xda is a friendly community. But like every community there are rules, and you need a bit of common sense.
And I know I'm special, my mum keeps telling me.

Even in the real world we need to abide by the rule bro. The mods and devs here in xda are most helpful. We just need to know how and where to post. They may have overdone it in pointing out you posted in the wrong section, but admittingly it's really annoying if it takes you 5 minutes browsing through the pages because of too much unnecessary thread in the wrong forum. Its best if you just say "thank you for pointing it out".

It seems as though What I was trying to do was considered Kanging. The funny thing is that I wasn't trying to do that. My intentions was merely to get my feet wet in development. But I understand now. Also, I want to make something perfectly clear; My intentions was never to steal. Until today, I never knew what Kanging was or even knew it existed. I just wanted to explore the possibilities of having more Devs on site. Anyway, thanks to the few that responded. Peace.

Seems like an interesting idea, I have too much on my plate ATM (grad school, 3 kids, wife, full time job, and trying to learn linux in my "spare" time), but one suggestion is go to the thread here to try and get a good working understanding of the way to do it.
Lastly, no to the dev forum as this isn't development (dont mean to sound like a sarcastic ass).
If you do get it set up, you could do it through a G+ hangout.
(I edited this because I dont know if the contact I suggested would appreciate me doing so as I don't actually know him and am just working off of an impression).

Understood. And thanks for the reply and feedback bud.
And the link you used is no good. Got another there?

So I joined xda today for a few reasons. One being that I would love to be able to do a fraction of what some of these people on here do. I just got cm9 and saw that they put the source out too, but i havent a clue as to what to do with it. Google+ hangout sounds like a good idea.

Sounds good. Now we need someone to give us direction. If we can recruit an individual with some working knowledge of the material we will be set. In the meantime, If you want to get started learning the foundations be my guest. I'll get started as well. I'll PM you for e-mail addresses. If you can respond to this it will help to keep this thread alive. It will promote traffic.. Thanks bud.
[Announcement] We are currently looking fir an individual out there who knows the basics or foundations of building a custom ROM from CM9 or earlier. We would like to ask for your assistance in giving us a general direction. TYVM.

Hey man. It seems as though this has reached a turning point way before it had a chance to begin. Hahaha. But listen man, if you still want to talk about this project for future purposes, I will be more than happy to do so. Just pm me or e-mail me bud. Thanks again and sorry about all this.

New website!!! Just for us!!!

Let me know what you guys think???

Don't take this the wrong way, but creating a website for the Thunderbolt right now is like showing up late to a party with a 12 pack of Bud Light. Everyone will be happy you came, but you didn't bring anything that wasn't already there. Now, if you show up with a bottle of Single Barrel Jack Daniel's, you will be the shiznit at the party. So, if you can, please try to bring something different to your website. With that said, I'll be sure to keep checking on your site, it's always nice to have more people at the party.

COMING SOON!!!!!!!

To be honest, I love this idea. It's kind of hard to find updated roms and mods for any phone, not to mention the Thunderbolt. BeardedMan... Why is making a website like this, which will (hopefully) be a good hub for Thunderbolt mods and roms, getting "late to the party?" Is there another website out there like this, besides the android forms or Rom Manager? If there is, I'd like to know.
frankzua77, I would like to say thank you. If this website becomes what I think it will, it will make modding the Thunderbolt so much easier. If you need any help, just let me know.

I think the problem beardedman is referencing is the fact that there are a lot of android websites/forums already (even thunderbolt specific) and that there are a lot of much newer phones getting the attention. I have yet to not find anything I'm looking for without a 10 second search on Google. And the Thunderbolt is real close to being yesterday's superphone, if it's not already.
Plus, the problem with any of these sites is someone has to maintain it...which means sifting through posts, updating daily, etc. Unless it's a wiki that anyone can update, it's the same reason that the stickies all get outdated. Heck, it's the same reason I've started threads on many forums for many topics trying to compile information and eventually given up.
Now that I've rained on the parade and come off as a prick, I do applaud the effort...even if it doesn't stay updated or become the hub you imagine, at least you have an idea and a passion and are trying to do something about it. Don't lose that. And who knows...maybe it's just what the community needs

I have a "Thunderbolt" folder in my Bookmarks (just like I used to with my Incredible) that I have the five links in. I can open all the links and catch up with all the newest Thunderbolt news, for the most part. And the Thunderbolt is old news actually, just being honest.
TUDrewser understood what I meant, I wasn't being rude. ThunderNet, trying checking the above sites, I bet you'll find answers to whatever questions you have.

Please see my sig..
Users can submit a MOD, Downlad mods or whatever right from the web.
Still a WIP, but just needs attention.
Not knocking this idea at all, but should really consider opening it up to a wiki format and not center only on the thunderbolt.

!
I really appreciate everyone that makes their point, I am currently working on the page. One of my goals is to have videos that can show you a ROM even before you consider downloading it. I know we are focusing on the tbolt, who knows maybe later on this expands to having other phones and stuff...
I need your help on deciding on a domain name! Right now im using a free domain service but I would like to purchase a domain, any ideas???
Also please click on the ads on the bottom as this is how the site will be funded for right now.

Try to find the best section to post and then ask a Mod to move your thread to the selected section.
Im sure this way you will have better chances to get help.
Good luck!
