binary drivers for x8 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i have question... anyone maybe know where can i find binary drivers for x8.
i started to compiling from source code and this is what i miss. :S
example what i need http://code.google.com/android/nexus/drivers.html
started by this manual and using 2.3.7 instead of 4.0.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386615&page=5
thanks for any helpful link

try this http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/downloads?cc=gb&lc=en or find anything useful there..

maybe FreeXperiaTeam has sources for that?
i don't know, but i'm interested too, i want to build AOSP Froyo or maybe AOSP Gingerbread for X8, just to test and have a little taste of it.

[Question] Gingerbread on Tattoo?

Hey guys,
Now that Gingerbread is out, I think most questions on people's minds are: Can it happen? What's needed?
Sent from my Tattoo using XDA App
I'm trying to do something about it stay tuned...
i just saw a youtube video about a wildfire running an early built,
so i thinks its not a matter of resolution.
I just hope the CM can be work on ROM.
We need AOSP sources before it can be built properly. The ones on Wildfire etc are just hacked together from an emulator image, and they run quite slowly. For the Tattoo, I'm a bit uncertain if it can be used with kernel 2.6.29, or if 2.6.32 or higher is required.
It will eventually - Froyo took a while but is here. But I can't wait for the new UI and it will be speedy if Google are telling the truth
I was WAITING for someone to ask this question
Anyway, fingers crossed
It has to be possible: http://androinica.com/2010/12/07/go...droinica+(Androinica+-++A+Google+Android+Blog)
I guess gingerbread will take some time to come on tattoo, but there is a full gingerbread theme for tattoo available here.

I guess it will be pretty soon, because Gingerbread AOSP is already available to create ROMs like fyodor's or spartm's, and Cyanogen is working on modded Gingerbread too already
gingerbread on tattoo would be GREAT

@those who try to port 2.3 for tattoo: If you're successfull, plz change the icon for mobile data... it's just too tiny for our small screen!
the source code for the nexus one is out, i dont know how difficult it is to port it to another device but i hope someone tries it already
I'm trying to compile gingerbread, if somebody(or more) wants to collaborate making vendor files, we can put up a github start a collaborate rom for our tattoo
I've triend changed fyodor files, but for now i'm stuck (something wrong with libstagefright)

Anybody willing to guide a newbie?

Hi everyone!
I'm looking to become a future dev of the Samsung Captivate Glide, but as we're awaiting the official ICS from AT&T the forum right now is pretty dead. We have a project going but nobody to guide us, and we wish to compile CM9 or AOSP ICS. Would anyone take me in and teach me the basics of ROMing? I would greatly appreciate it! I have a Mac and Windows, I'm not sure if Linux is required :|
~Aquethys
the rom is the least of the worries to get dev going on your phone, getting the kernel going is the hard part. does your phone have the source code released?
I don't believe so, people in our ics port thread are saying we don't have a working ics kernel. We do have a gingerbread kernel though... :/
How would I start?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda premium
well you take parts from the GB kernel and apply it to parts from the AOSP kernel, and troubleshoot until it boots. then you troubleshoot all the other issues, there will be issues, then you can start doing fancy things like add cwm. then tweak the kernel....
start reading on kernels, ramdisk, rils, libs, and drivers, linux, compiling, AOSP, github repositories.
you might be ready to take on this task in 6 months.... minimum
dont take that as snooty, ive been on here over a year, and know jack squat about half the things i just told you to study. though i have no desire to build kernels myself. there is lots of great info scattered all over xda. but you will need an experienced dev, to port ICS. you need to know basic kernel modification stuff before trying to do something as big as porting a new android version from out your but.
automated compiling isnt as automated as it sounds.
Alright. What programs will I need to begin with? Hopefully an experienced dev can guide me, I'm not too good @ following guides/tutorials but I'll try my best!

EDIT: Made a dropbox account, hopefully you could guide me through the basics?
So, is this the source code for SGH-I927 you were talking about? I downloaded it, what do I do with it? Is it different for ICS and GB?

Since nobody seems to check the Q&A forum [Q] Kernel compiled in Ubuntu 12.04 fails

Since nobody seems to check the Q&A forum [Q] Kernel compiled in Ubuntu 12.04 fails
So i havent worked on a kernel in a while and decided id start workin on one again. Well I recently updated to 12.04 lts and no changes to my old source I just did a test compile and it wont boot. Same toolchain, source, ramdisk, etc.
Is there some sort of issue with compiling on 12.04?
Even redownloaded the source from my github and tried the toolchain recommended by samsung, stock tool chain, and 3 others and i still get nuthin. Just trying to compile a 2.2 kernel for the vibrant. No source i download works am i missing something?
does ANYONE have any ideas? I dont care who you are just something! I been at this for a freakin week and cant figure it out, ......i've changed nuthing but the OS and i really dont want to have to redo my entire setup because it is such a huge pain
Are you sure the kernel works? What is causing it to not boot?
I build ICS kernels just fine.
Check this and update tools for 12.04 http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

100% sure it works, its the same source as my old nightly# 3 kernel which i can flash and works fine. Its a 2.2 kernel so thatd be the main diff there, and I've already done the setup of the build environment. I dont get past the vibrant logo so i have no idea what the problem is >.< its driving me nuts
i tried the linaro TC, 2 diff code sourcery, google toolchain even, and no luck
I even started a fresh kernel from scratch and added just the EXT4/voodoo stuff and my ramdisk and still nuthin
so i remade my voodoo ramdisk and that still doesnt work.
I'm out of ideas, I've quadruple checked to make sure all my tools and erthing are installed......idk what the issue is
Not a developer but wouldn't downgrading to an older Ubuntu fix the problem? Btw I loved your gingerbread kernels and I hope you can get back to the top again Aim for 400mb ram with 720p and you will achieve something high

Id rather not but it seems that might be the case -_- I gotta look into how well older versions of ubuntu suppport the BullDozer cores before i do i guess.....
also I only made GB kernels for the NS4g i think ? o .o Vibrant I had been workin on it but I like being able to have MSAA in my games and what felt like greater stability, so i scrapt the new projects in favor of specific features i use :3
Ecotox I really wish you or another dev could make an updated CM7.2 kernel with Voodoo Color, OC/UV, and performance tweaks since Glitch is outdated and probably won't be updated for CM7.2. I know most devs have gone to ICS kernels, but CM 7.2 is still snappier and better for gaming then ICS.

Hey there! Try downgrading gcc and g++ to version 4.4. If that doesn't work you can always just set up a dev VM in xen or vmware instead of blowing away the whole box. Hope that helps.

Does anyone own the SHV-E140?

I am looking for someone who owns the korean version of the LTE 8.9. My internet searches havent found anything, but I believe the device has been upgraded to ICS. If we can find someone with the device and who has updated, then we can build a working US version from it. If anyone can find the firmware online that also works.
Info: http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/skt/SHV-E140SZW3SC-support
Source: http://www.samsung.com/sec/ics/06_shv-e140s_ics_kies.html
I've been looking for that very thing since I posted in the official ics thread earlier. No luck so far...

i looked everywhere .. chinese site even korean site ... cant find the rom
or maybe we should get someone who read korean to check out the korean site and see when is the update actually out.....
i believe it says ics is coming ... but when
It appears the source for the SHV-E140S is now posted on opensource.samsung.com.
This is new in the last few days, I checked earlier in the week and it wasn't there... Yay!
there are 3 seperate versions... I'm downloading all of them ATM and see what is in there...
link: just scroll down until u see the device name. : http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=list&menu_item=mobile&classification1=mobile_phone
also there are 4 different files but only one is ICS update
I opened the ICS update and there are a few interesting things... but I don't know if the internals are identical to 8.9 so we could just copy the drivers over...
nvm, saw OP's signature. This one is based on Qualcomm, different from P7300/P7310.
The platform stuff from the opensource site is probably mostly useless, as it's going to be an asian version of android that likely doesn't have english support. Correct me if I'm wrong.. It's probably best to use the kernel to bring up CM9 on this device.
The kernel does have config selections for the I957, and it successfully builds with this option, unlike the I717 and I727 releases -- They both had the 957 option in the kernel config, but didn't include most the actual code bits to allow it to build for that device, and the bits it did include didn't compile, all sorts of compile errors as if it hadn't been QA'ed at all...
Also.. I found the binary package, for the SHV-E140S, hosted on xbigfile.naver.com at some torrent page: w3ww.matpclub.com/b/torrent/119077
http://xbigfile.naver.com/bigfileup...jK6MrFoCop6kvaxb9MxbZaxkoFqM9axi4Mo+4F6EwK6E=
Let me know if you need me to mirror this...
The SHV-140 and SGH-I957 are very similar.. If you look at the ifdefs in the kernel source code (CONFIG_KOR_MODEL_SHV_E140S vs CONFIG_USA_MODEL_SGH_I957) the only difference I could find is in the DSP module -- Includes wrapped in ifdef tags select arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp6v2/timpani_profile_p5lte_att.h vs arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp6v2/timpani_profile_p5lte_skt.h. These are the DSP codecs. These files contain several hundred KB of what appears to be binary code in hex for the DSP engine, and are extensively different. From what's there, it looks like most of it relates to handling audio streams at various bitrates, including mic, line in, headphone sources. It appears the DSP engines in these devices are pretty different?
So, the binary kernel for the SHV-140 isn't going to work well with the I957, even if only because of the DSP changes. This isn't too surprising.
I think the next step is to investigate getting the kernel into the CM9 build tree. Anyone a ninja with that sort of thing?

Funny enough... I ran the above through Google Translate and it came out just the same! :silly:
Whatever you and/or the other brilliant devs can come up with as a path forward will I'm sure be farther along than it is now. Just let us tinkerers know what we can do to help. :highfive:

I9010 Source code OR AOSP

I wanted to play around with my captivate armani version, and since I like features of custom roms and dont like camera driver phone , audience etc... and i don't like that my froyo is rly slow rly for some reason idk why, i did restore to stock fresh install with wipe everytihng still slow since android market went google play froyo laging as hell.
So as I'm enthusiast I wanna try to copile my own froyo from soruce ( http://opensource.samsung.com/ and i typed i search i9010) I got soruce, atm i don't even learn how to compile from source installing ubuntu on other machine atm, but I take a look insade files and It's look like this is just AOSP soruce code not samsung soruce code for i9010... sound rly strange to me.
So my questing basically is this samsung soruce for i9010 or aosp from google?
File is only 170mb so if some of dev have a time to download it and take a look i will be really grateful...
If' it's not samsung source i don't have with what to start
Pls any advice will be helpful...

Yep i9010 is i897 for eu with armani sign and better plastic, and as far as i found only different is that armani have "better gps module" idk if it true but they are 99% same.
But if anyone have idea about this source i will be really happy to start working
Basiclly is this source useful and complete, i mean if i compile this i will get samsung touchwiz froyo or aosp foryo?

My guess, Samsung. best way to know is to look for TW in it, it's the launcher after all
Yep that`s what was strange to me i think that source not comleate at all. Maybe im wrong but i downloaded i897 and few more source from samsung base and all are same they dont have any launcher in or im looking wrong. Only in anounsment file on site there is list of copyrights licence and i found on list launcher2.apk but it just in txt file list. As i know tw is seclauncer or tw03launcher something like that.

I do think it's great you're trying to compile your on ROM but if you don't mind me asking, why Froyo? We're up to JB 4.2.1 now :silly:
Last stock for i9010 is froyo, and im begginer,
So i wanted to do next:
1st compile Froyo for i9010 to test if it work ( it would be as same as stock) to see if i can and have knowledge to do it and if its usable. Its easiest to test since its orginal one so without modding it should boot and work.
2nd compile GB for i897 with small modification to work on i9010 if any is even required ( to use component from i9010 code if needed)
3d step is to try port from some similar hardware device witch have stock JB to I9010.
I like stock look even stock froyo vs custom jb. I know there is TW custom rom but only think is ported laucher quality of calls and camera are bad, i know there was some guys that ported from samsung source GB i897 with some mods and custom kernel but system was full stock unforcunalty links are death so i didn't test it.
and as i read somewhere there is not all opensource i will prolly need to get drivers TW and some other things. idk why but i read that they are closedcode in most case.
I really like and support your idea to start developing for i9010. I have an i9010 and I must say before you start, I have successfully flashed and used various custom ROMs for captivate (i897/i896), mostly ICS and JB ROMs. The first time I was sweating bullets, but it works and in my experience have never had issues using captivate ROM's on the Galaxy Armani.
