It's is a developers source code and if I am not wrong these are for developers to look into and tinker around with.
Firmware for end-user is available via OTA/SEUS/PC Companion as per company's plan generally a few days/weeks after being mentioned on PRTDC.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
This is not usable as a ROM. It's only the Source data that SE has to release as per the Open GPL Licenses....
The only workaround with this file should be to compile some Kernel Modules like tun.ko etc...
As Kloud_ said the firmware releases are sent via SEUS/PC Companion....
Jim
Someone who knows what they are looking for can tell what is included in the update from the source code posted above, though
I'm not smart enough for that
multi touch was updated officially on the 20th right?
can anyone confirm that mediascape supports multi touch?

Works on my phone(at least in the picture viewer portion of mediascape). MT works in all apps that support it at all.
I'm currently running:
Firmware: 2.1-update-1
Baseband: 2.0.46
Kernel: 2.6.29
Build: 2.0.A.0.504 (MT update and fix(mt for all apps) with JIT enabled)
i wonder when SE will show 2.2 after all

Well, do you remember what they said about multi/dual-touch?
"NEVER" or something, my memory's kinda fuzzy... Though this time I'm rather sure that they really meant never as, well, never.

Believe me, it will never appear.
They are going to release the Xperia ARC in q1 with gingerbread 2.3 and then nobody cares about the X10.
The X10-Roadmap ends with a UXP upgrade in January.

...I did agree with you, if that was unclear. Just saying that they also said "never" for the multi/dual-touch implementation, though doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Guys I updated my phone thru SE today.This is actually a rom.the base band and the build number are different and also could root the phone with flash tools.
Screen shots.Also added the 2.2.11 market and some other stuff like Neo reader and post card which are not really usable.But i Confirm you can root the device,

They did once say they may be able to get multi-touch working on the X10 tho, they have never said they may release 2.2.
It isn't going to happen, never ever will, end of story.
If they did I would prefer FreeX10 anyway, as SE 2.2 would have too much ****e on it
2.1.A.0.435 = poor perfromance
SE update service announced this a while back but ignored it until I got a dead ROM, which happened today while playing with Gingerbread 2.3.1 - TripNRaVeR v1.1 - since gone to 1.2 and with the sound / keyboard / wifi / sdcard fixes in place and working, highly recommend checking it..
EDIT: After flashing back to this standard ROM to look into MultiTouch further, found Multitouch is implemented in stock 2.1.A.0.435 ROM. Working with browser, docs, Angry Birds, Maps and more, not Navigation by default, investigating.
So there you have it - Multitouch is enabled on the 435 ROM. All other ROM versions can add it with the Dual Touch kernel mod and setting the xml file options / Build.prop etc.. takes 10 minutes and is worth it!
The new Mediascape has a Plus / Minus flexible icon that appears when you hold your finger on the picture, allowing you to zoom in and out, but not pinch ouch!
2.1.A.0.435 is the slowest ROM I've used. Linkpack score of 6.xx - totally lame app performance, constantly killing processes and I gave up using it within 2 hours, not even bothering to make an update.zip to return to xRecovery loading my preferred 2.0.2.A.0.24 with XGbread theme.
EDIT 2: Don't recommend downgrading from 2.3.1 to 2.1.A.0.435 ROM by Flashing with Update Service and then using xRecovery to attempt loading 2.1.A.0.24 - as this bricked my device and was forced to use the Update Service to go back to 2.1.A.0.435, which is where I am stuck right now - lol - this is because of the baseband version being so different you will always receive - No service - WiFi will crash repeatedly and basically you can't use it as a phone anymore.
Root via SuperOneClick - works! - Install BusyBox - works! - load xRecovery works!

Wat the heck is this......we just started X10 mini and the updates are finished from SE.........This isn't good......SE is the worst lazy company i ever seen................I am so disappointed!!!
Even if the mini received a 2.2 update it wouldn't contain all the goodies such as Flash 10 and JIT enhancements.

There are claims of a 2x-5x Performance boost over some apps compared to 2.1 Dalvik JIT:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
There is also a Flash 10 Download for 2.2 as well: http://www.intomobile.com/2010/06/1...er-beta-2-for-android-2-2-froyo-os-goes-live/
So most things can be replicated between versions (Obvious exceptions including the Kernel). Still, it's a shame that SE don't seem to want to maintain updates on this device

My understanding is that Flash is dependant on the funtionality that the OS offers, Not the hardware (Obviously you need to have enough CPU power).

they should put either a notice or a fine print that they'd stop releasing a new OS once they have new lines of phone.

Installing flash on the mini is simple - just change the following (in build.prop file)
"ro.build.version.sdk=7" to "ro.build.version.sdk=8"
"ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi" to "ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a"
"ro.product.cpu.abi2=unknown" to "ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi"
reboot
install flash from the market or elsewhere
The problem is 2.1 won't recognize it, probably due to "permissions" and the absence of "plugins". I'm not 100% sure but the Flash Player code may include some iterances of "Arm7" substrates in order to run.

Basically i installed flash .....becoz i overwrite the market.apk......(Market 2.1 to Market 1.6) as a result the flash player got installed.......And the market will update itself again when you connect to internet again.

Stupid updates, cheap
Yeah you really can't hide that these updates are crap for the Minis. But now I look back at the Mini starting on 1.6 and see the real significance of that. They're behind in market share for a reason. And we get this crap while while they trick new users with the Arc. Arc d'Trick.
I just installed the latest firmware for the X10 Mini (E10i)
Rev. no: 2.1.1.A.0.6
Guess what! Yet another test program that ask you for money
An Office Suite that is directing you to a home page allowing you to download a trial version of that Office suite.
For gods sake SE stop doing so against your customer. That is scam just adding a shortcut to apps dealers website.
If I wanted an Office Suite in the X10 Mini I would get me one on the Market.
Hell, I hate the SonyEricsson.
My next phone will be from a decent manufacturer.

I have installed it.
It seems to be more performance in 3D games.
Flash plugin preinstaled, and it can run the flash animation in Toshiba's web page .
It solves some bug about brong accelerometer axis in some games.
But no Android Market, only the same *sigh* Toshiba Market.
The question is whether we can install FolioMod on top of this update or not. For me,it's not worth updating this without DexterMod, which is already very good imo

THIS UPDATE WILL BLOCK YOUR UPDATE OPTIONS, AND BYE BYE CUSTOM ROMS
I confirm that the root of 5.0131 is ok yessssssss !
I'm guessing this updates the recovery kernel, and the recovery kernel is the only place that the recovery kernel is visible from to write? So root access is not enough for a simple way of updating the whole OS partition.

they might have blocked it on the new update as well, making it really hard to get revert.. but on previous editions you can easily write a new recovery.
the partition is visible at partition 7, but this might have changed.
i have not had the luxury to look at the actual update, so what is inside, is for me to find out.. then we get all the nasty details.
ok guys... anyone having installed this update pls kindly report the following:

Just read about the new update and the issues with it. I have my Folio sent in for repair and they always update to the latest firmware before sending back to customer, so it looks like im in deep ****. I know how to use adb and fastboot, use them all the time on my desire hd and my VEGA. Maybe someone could write a good guide on how to flash this old recovery and which of all the rooting procedures that works with the new firmware. I also dont know how to get Folio in fastboot. But if we have a working root we can flash the old recovery or clockwork recovery, is that right? Because if not i might as well throw it away. No use in trying to sell it, no one will buy a useless tablet anyways. HOPING FOR A GUIDE CALLED: HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FOLIO WITH FLASHABLE RECOVERY

Notes
No, not me nor anyone who worked on any part of this rom is responsible for eventually any damaged caused to your phone or life.
Yes, offcourse i am aware this is CyanogenMod 6.1.3 officially... but in my eyes it is not worthy enough to call it that, because not everything works yet.
WARNING!
I do not want to see any fights, cursing, banthering or what so ever in any negative form in this thread... if so i will let this thread be removed.
support ended, because i bought a new phone
Changelog & Fixxes & Themes
beware you should wait up to 5minutes the first time you installed the rom
Fixxes:
- No signal? visit this page for a lower/higher baseband version and you should be capable to flash it over it.
- i am truly sorry to say, that i blocked most advertising websites, adds etc.etc. if you however for some reason do wanna have these, whipe the hosts file ^^
you found something that is broke?
or are you gettin force closes? (if you really got this because you use baseband that is lower than .54 imma hit u with the ugly stick!)
download catlog from the market and send me the logfile, i'll make sure i'll do my best to fix it
Custom Themes:
SJ_CyanogenMod_6.1.2-Xtremes_X10_theme by Shiwantha
Can't wait to see the changelog and the difference of the CM6.1.3 V4 and CyanogenMod7.
Is there anyone can tell me what's the difference among them??? So many CyanogenMod???!
And i just find something about the .55 BB.:http://www.xperiax10.net/2011/02/19/rogers-releases-new-2-1-1-a-0-6-firmware-for-xperia-x10a/
Great, i can not wait, another cynogen rom and a new chef, i will re-flash my baseband as soon as you upload, can we have some screenshots please, and most of all thankyou for sharing.

And can you tell us more about the camera?Not fully-functional means we can take photos only without selecting the quality of the photos or we can also take video but with another thinks to concern?

@jusiek, i advice to use the latest baseband tho.. but older one should work without any problems
@laill, yes you can make vids and photo's mate, but its not 100% optimalized like the standerd one is... and 3rd party apps dont like it yet there are 2 camera apps in it the one from miui and the regular one

Sorry for the stupid question - it's been a while that I used my X10 Mini Android phone...
I am trying to revive my phone for my son and just installed newest stock ROM from Sony. Everything works as Sony - expected, however I do not find e.g. the App Kytephone in the store to install. I heard that this app pretty much close down the phone and makes any android phone a great kids phone.
Any help how I can install that app? Any stting or update to marketpalce needed Would updating to any custom ROM might make that App available to install ? Which one is most stable (as my son shouldn't use too many features anyway...)
THANK YOU!
It needs Android 2.2 or higher, and sony's latest update is 2.1, that's why you can't find it in the store, so upgrading to a custom froyo or gingerbread rom should do the trick

Awsome - thanks, will try. I know this is a non-checker question and it all depends on individual opinions... However, could you name any ROM that has its strength in stability and battery life?
I would go with MiniCM7, the last version to run on stock kernel was 2.0.7, which is quite stable.
Or you could try this, which should run on 2.1 too

The market will only show apps that are suitable for our phones. You get more choice if you run the latest custom rom (which is Jellybean), but the market will also take into account things like the screen resolution, and the architecture of the chip used.
Apps developed specifically for Armv7 or higher won't run on our phones, which have Armv6 architecture, and if an app requires a resolution higher than 240x320, then the market won't show those options either.
If you want to try an app that is unsopported, find a .apk for that app (use a general search for that app), copy it to your sd-card and install it from there. If the app checks it's own requirements (rather than let google-play decide if it's appropriate) it still won't install though. Sometimes you'll get lucky, but that is really rare.
Usually the only way to get an 'unsupported' app to run is to get a different device that fulfill it's requirements.
