[Q] Gmail from android 4.0 on working 2.3 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As in title is it possible to make gmail from android 4.0 work on 2.3? I really love new gmail but I want to stay on 2.3 (better battery life, faster, more stable).

I guess so....you could try updating it or taking the libs fron it.....

But I don't know how to do it... :-(

So basically your not even going to try it yourself??? Teach yourself dude! Worst case scenario bootloop and you need to reinstall android....which is nowhere near a brick..don't be scared go for it

First: I'm a girl
Second: I don't have ANY programming skills or something like that and I don't have ANY knowledge about it. Only I can do is copy to system files, set permissions but the app shows me that It can't be installed so I want to ask here, maybe someone who have skills or knowledge can aswer me;-)

OK, since you have no programming skills then you won't be able to even attempt. I would teach you but I'm too lazy and I have enough on my plate already
I suggest you look at YouTube for tutorials.
If you have any problems feel free to drop me a PM

I know there is not much girls, but I have to teach by myself how to install newer android on my phone (my dad have some skills but he don't want to help me) that's why I'm here
I would teach by myself but you know, school, I will ending high school in this year and have a lots of exams so don't have much time and I thought maybe someone tried to make it work and can share with me. Thanks for help

[ROM] CM6 RC3 w/ Goodies

I just started making ROMs today and I'm going to start with just modifying a ROM.
Couldn't get the Golden Elegance theme to work with anything. So it's has ADW Launcher and everything else.
Goodies added:
Hulu
Flashplayer
Wireless Tether
A Skinned "Droid Does" Swype Keyboard
Option Of ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro
I'll work on different colored themes in the near future.
Download here ---> MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED FOR CONTAINING WAREZ

What did you do to get Hulu working?
is 8GB internal storage present and is BT audio fixed? Those are keeping me away from CM6 for now...
I included the hulu.apk and the hulu flash player I got from skyraider

thx for the response and no worries, was just curious. don't pay attention to the negative comment(s).
Yo hot taco, overall pretty nice. The only thing i would suggest is to theme over all the cyan (blue) parts to make them look like vanilla (even though thats my area of expertise).
Good luck with future roms.

I agree 110%.. I've thought about trying to learn how to cook up some ROMs but if this is how i would get treated, forget it. So what if its not a "ROM". Everyone has to start somewhere. He's learning. He's obviously smarter than you at age 13 and you obviously have a problem with it. Grow up before you decided to post such nonsense.
EDIT: just to clarify, this was directed at rulevoid, not mtag. i was just agreeing with mtag, which is the reason for the quote.
Imma get the mods over here ok?? Flaming makes me MAD!
Wow. Cut the kid some slack. It's these kind of replies that are the reason some of the best rom cookers out there won't post on this forum).

@OP glad ur taking interest and trying to learn to cook roms.
perhaps u should work on creating some original material and get some people to test/help u before u create a thread for a ROM...
That way nobody could complain and u could learn and put together a good ROM
Wow, sure he just used a basic kitchen to add things a lot of ppl add anyways. This isn't for me so I'm not gonna flash it, but I'm not gonna flame someone for doing this. A lot of people will find this useful. Just because its not for you doesn't mean its right to treat someone trying to contribute like this.
OP if u want some help with creating update.zip's pm me and I'll help you out.

Start from the ground up, take apart some apps, ask friends if they are into Android and possibly find a developer to work with, my buddy Scary Alien and I are building multiple apps and it makes it more fun. Get some books if that is how you learn, I reccomend Apress books. And just have fun with it! Its not too hard but it does help to know basic algebra as you use lots of math in coding.
Cheers and feel free to PM me if you need some help along the way!

two things:
1) there isn't a CWM available for GB yet
2) do you *really* think development was the place to post this? as it is a question and we have a section labeled "questions and answers"
Wasnt sure as there isn't a q&a for gb, but was directly rom related. I have no problem with mods moving. I actually wish they would help decide this for future posters.

Thanks for quick response.
i think its totally funny seeing smartass replies from supposed "senior" members. there no reason for it at all. i'm pretty sure some people just have really, really low self esteem and not many friends. Mommy doesn't count either. if you ever need any advice man just pm me and you won't have to deal with the bs. XDA is all about helping. thats exactly the point of it. good luck.
I appreciate that. I may end up doing that before I finally up on a GB rom.
I'm not upset about ^^. I understand his pov. I just ask he understands mine. It's kind of a grey area until a Q&A sticky is made for GB, or we start having roms appear in dev. However he did answer my question, to which I expressed my thanks, as I do to you.

He was asking about GB ROM. We all flash at our own risk. I thought it was easier to flash Continum than when I first tried CM7. Thank goodness I bought a JIG. I have to admit that since I have the GB bootloaders now, I am slightly nervous to one click back to stock.

1)Not that new, just asking questions.
2) I've already flashed JVB, Juwe's, and finally C5 (b1,b2 and b3).
3) I, as do everyone else here, appreciate your help. However, please don't assume you know someones ability level, without asking. I realise I am not able to develop a rom our kernel. But I have read and experienced enough through this website to know that 20 questions before is better then "oh crap I bricked my phone now what".

[Q] This thread's dead! who wants to help bring it back to life???

Thread's mega dead. Mr. flashinglights is about to breath some fresh air into the forum possibly with a RC2 update this weekend, but who else has anything to contribute? As for myself, I will be begining to spend a lil more time on coming up with somthing new and useful for the HeroC community. So, was just curious if anyone else was out there with this old azz device willing to assist me/us in freshening up thread a lil bit????
I can help with design but I don't know coding and don't want to learn it. I have looads of experience in visual communications but that's about all I can do. I'd be more than willing to help though!

There is already the ability to overclock. And you can flash whatever kernel you like to overclock. Mine is oc'd to 768.

4.2 based rom???

there is no android 4.2 based rom or fw available for this phone yet....cynogenmod 10.1 couldnt go any far as of now.....I want to request developers to focus on or to develop in latest 4.2 version...all want to see latest ports for the device...there is no point of putting time in modifying existing roms of othrrs ....
Dude, for our device there are no 4.2... so on what does the ROM need to be based? If you want 4.2 stock based it's not gonna work.
Let the dev's do their work and wait for 4.2... patience will be rewarded. Some countries are still waiting for 4.1
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
I think he means they should develop CM10.1 instead of cm10.. somewhat I agree, but it's much more difficult, and they don't have all the sources for that. Let them do cm10 first, than they might start work on cm10.1, or maybe not.. even cm10 is in early beta, and how long have they been doing that?
It's not an easy task as the source is not released. So little chance of getting cm 10.1. But still cm 10 is in progress thanks to our devs team and that's good enough for me
I think we need to wait a bit for 4.2
Well CM10 is the main priority I guess and we have the best of our devs working on it. When it is stable I hope that they want to continue on CM10.1 which is harder without sources as we don't even have all sources for CM10 yet.

Let's all work together and act like normal human beings. It's not usual to flame someone who's doing the Dev job volontarily.
I'm new here, and I'm trying to learn, but I'm not that technical. I try my best to contribute to this society, I can't develop or mod but everytime I read this forum my knowledge about Android grows and if it's needed I would share that knowledge.
I don't wanna sound like the good guy but I guess we all should be here for learning or sharing knowledge, if we can do that we could form a great team!
