hi guys i had a question as now bootloader is unlocked people say we will have perfect ginderbread in our phones
my question is
will we have compatibility to run those apps which were designed for froyo or later??
Maybe...maybe not. I've heard that some apps need ArmV7 processor to run and as you may know, X8 has a ArmV6 processor...we can't change that.
You cannot run a apk that doesn't have gingerbread compatibility. So you cannot run a app if that app was only made to work on froyo or eclair, even now, after that future improvements

Hey guyz, im new to android world so id like to introduce myself shreddd ... im a software developper so as soon as i get confortable with android i will be developpin some apps . (android sdk is already installed on my eclipse hehe)
Alright so there is my situation.
I have a captivate i896 just rooted it the hard way. Ive search the forum a bit and im going to put cog froyo on my phone. My question is : Ive read about lag fixes specially voodoo lag fixes wich seems efficient and i was wondering if i should install that lag fix before or after flashing to froyo 2.0 ?
Since froyo rom could overwrite everything it could be useless to install the fix before , but since this fix it format the sdcard it could be usefull... anyway you tell me hehe
If I am not mistaken the latest cognition has voodoo built in, it will install automatically.
yessir you put cog on your phone VooDoo is not only initiated but also it will be rooted happy flashing!!

On some roms especially i9000 based you have the option between like 5 or 6 lag fixes

So i want to update my rooted captivate to 2.2 finally and i just had a few questions if you guys dont mind. non-noob of course ; )
1) I havent been keeping up with the news on the leaked 2.2 for captivate as much as i should have been but currently is there a good enough version of the leaked 2.2 to be upgrading too?
2) I was not wanting to get a rom or a build with all sorts of frillz and thrills taged along with it (like lag fixes, extra apps and all those shenanigans) , i was just wanting to get the best and newest build or leaked 2.2 for captivate; a clean version, then after that i will probably apply a lag fix of my own.
-If you could kindly link me to the correct thread of what im lookin for, thad be great! haha thx
-BTW: if you think what i plan to do is a bad idea or there are just to amny downsides to doing what im planning on doing ( just using a clean version of the leaked 2.2) please by all means i would love to hear your comments.
PS: this is sorta what im looking for (clean and simple 2.2):I just thought though that sense this is so old, there might be a better one out there.

Do you need the samsung touchwiz stuff? If you only want the launcher, go for Cognition 2.3b6. Based on a captivate froyo leak and the stable captivate 2.2 that you might be looking for.
What do you mean by "if i only want the launcher", please expand on this a little more
And thx for the reply

You may want to define "native apps". Seeing as how we don't have an official release, how are we to know what is native?
And that was more than one question.
Im pretty sure that it was confirmed that 2.2 was officaly released for captivate. Its just that at&t hasnt given it to us yet.

there is absolutely no OFFICIAL release of 2.2 for the captivate. it was confirmed that there are OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL LEAKS of 2.2

I'm guessing you want ALL the touchwiz goodness? By launcher I just mean the touchwiz launcher. Just go install one of the froyo leaks if you want everything.
What are the bad things or the downsides to just getting one of the froyo leaks, instead of getting like a cog rom

You get a lot less options. It's a pain in the ass flashing to other roms because I believe recovery is messed up or something (I've never tried out the froyo leak but I heard so many problems with it). Devs continue working on their ROMs whereas froyo leak, it's just a leak and it's done.
Read up on stuff please and try stuff out for yourself. Know what you're flashing before you flash so that you don't have to come on XDA in desperation saying your recovery is busted or your phone is bricked. Reading helps a lot, I can tell from experience.
Aiet, thx

I have a sony ericsson x8 and I can not download certain applications from the market. I was told it is because of the old version of android 2.1 I have.
Should I upgrade it to version 2.2? If yes, how can I do that?
Are there any disadvantages on doing that?
Thanks.
Some apps need armv7 to run, we can't change that but if you want to upgrade, read the stickies.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
There are no disadvantages (well, if you like the X8´s Timescape, you´ll think that the fact, that it doesn´t work on Froyo is a disadvantage, but you can run Arc Timescape on it.), everthing is working with Froyo.
It´s smooth, you can take 3MP photos and VGA videos with it, you can play games with it, zoom with two fingers in the browser.....some people also say that the battery life is better with Froyo than with SE´s Eclair....just read nthe guides to install it, and then read the descriptions of the ROMs, and you´ll know everthinjhg you have to know before you can flash it.
Since I've been on custom software, I've never looked back, go for it Dude!

ow boi, smells good....
First of all thank you guys for the replies.
codfreak, I don't understand the meaning of your reply because I'm a new in this issue.
What is Froyo? Is my 2.1 version (or 2.2) also called like this?
If not, should I upgrade my X8 to Froyo and not to 2.2? and if I want to upgrade to 2.2 (or higher) anyway, can I do that?

Android versions get names by candys alphabettically:
Android 1.5 - Cupcake
Android 1.6 - Donut
Android 2.1 - Eclair
Android 2.2 - Froyo
Android 2.3 - Gingerbread
and so on...
Which means that Froyo is codename of Android 2.2. Also I would recomend you to try GingerDX by Doixanh which is really fast and fully workable Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) ROM.

For Gingerbread, do I need to install Gingerbread + GingerDX or only one of them?
not to cast any disrespect to the authors of those customed ROM but honestly has anyone seriously gone in and check through their codes? Right there could very well be the sneakest trojan you will ever find behind your next banking transaction.
Please suggest 2.3 rom whiich is the most stable and fast

Don't ask for ETA's!
Read the forum rulez!
EDIT: Yeah, change the title and everything and make me look like an idiot.
Firstly, ICS isnt android 2.3, its android 4.1, android 2.3 is Ginger Bread, currently, all the ICS developments are still in beta stages and arent really recomended for daily use because they are still very buggy and need a lot of work before they can really be complete.
However if infact youre looking for a Ginger Bread ROM then there are a few different ones on our side of the forum that are all complete in their own ways, so youll get mixed responses from everyone on what they think is the 'most complete' ROM, just try a few out for yoirself and if youre up for it try some of the kernels that are in development and see what suits you best, its probably the best way of finding out really.

At the moment my tab is running froyo, I want to update it to honeycomb. Is it possible?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
why Honeycome? Try ICS
If you PC runs XP and you can upgrade to Windows 7, will you choose Windows Vista?
I personally like honeycomb. That's why I'm looking for it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Not going to argue with that, personal choice of course.
What is in Honeycomb that ICS doesn't have, can I know from you just for personal knowledge.
And BTW, google never release the source code for Honeycomb.
It is included partly in ICS source codes, but that is not the same.
So, unlikely any dev will cook up a Honeycomb custom ROM for Galaxy Tab.
No honeycomb is available for the tab as stated. However, there is an official cm9 nightly available at cyanogenmod.com for your tab.
Personally, although its a nightly, it seems quite stable for my everyday use. Just one thing, i believe you need to update to gingerbread first. Something to do with the bootloaders. But not sure.
]because honeycomb is for dual core processor ONLY.....try AOKP rom
But if u still wanna try honeycomb, u can try on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288943. dariolob's team had done it.
Sorry for my bad english. TQ
