oh why oh why is Froyo so good


Trip has got the camera taking pics at 8MP high quality, still have to use Videocam Illusion though, but was enough for me to jump, 2.1's annoyances began to show, and it wasn't pretty, nothing more embarrassing than your gigantic 1GHz smartphone taking a century to open contacts/dialer, when she asked "why's it taking so long?" I went speechless, I could kill SE for not releasing Froyo


Posted by Hobbs
tsepz ha ha ha ha knew it.you cant run from this speed.
my average benchmarks are between 1300 and 1500.
didnt even bother taking a benchmark with se 2.1.
just knew it would make me cry.
my other upgrade is due in 4 days.
cant believe im not in the least interested.
im goin g to terminate it.
love my x10.
i wouldnt worry about se not releasing froyo.the samsung
galaxy running gingerbread only pulls 998 with quadrant.
it most probably wouldnt have been that good
with all the shit se put on top.
freex10 beta has 8mp as default.cant change it.the
pics i took yesterday look really good.i could ohnestly say
they are better quality than what i used to get with the
se cam.
hope geohot is working on this bugger.i dont have much
hope with the xda devs.its almost been a year and they are
still bamboozled.
another thing he has to motivate him is sticking it to se.want him to crack it
before the arc hits and he gets one of those and forgets about the x10.

Hobbs, the speed is just too good, it's refreshing to be running Froyo again, you were spot on. I haven't even done quadrant yet, I'm going to install the Data2SD mod apparently with that Quadrant scores of upto 2600 are possible .
You're skipping an upgrade ??? Now that is a first lol, aren't you even tempted to give WP7 a go? I'm loving the X10 to, nothing really of interest especially when Android isn't completely capable of taking full advantage of dual-core CPUs yet. Hopefully next year when we upgrade there will be some mind blowing hardware and software.

Tsepz Thanks bud Going to give those two links a good looking at.

Wangs Tomorrows a big game against the Indians.Go Proteas!

Posted by Hobbs
Wow That earthquake in Japan is insane.Nature when let loose cannot be stopped.Its brutal.

Posted by Hobbs
Shit thought Bangladesh were done and dusted so changed channels and now have just seen on the news that they beat England.The game of cricket is a wonderful thing indeed.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Yep, shocking stuff in the "Ring of Fire" luckily no other place was seriously affected, really sad though.

Hobbs
Be sure to backup everything before you do the Data2SD mod, it wiped everything on my phone and it's not playing nice with Market, getting a lot of Force Closing.

Posted by Hobbs
Tsepz Experimental.Im going to give it a miss for the time been.I like a happy phone.

Did you see the BBC footage of that water just moving over the farmland.It was absolutely horrific.

Ready for the cricket Wangs.Lets murder some Indians.

Posted by amawanqa
Yeah I saw that BBC footage too. Incredible.

As regards the cricket, gee Hobbster, with two such evenly poised teams, the Proteas have got their work cut out.
Their batting v/s our bowling. Let's see...

Cmon Wangs.Wheres the positivity.The WCC 2011 is ours.

Posted by amawanqa
Methinks my positivity dwindled after the previous world cup... or the one before that... or the one before that...

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Yep, stay clear of it Hobbs, i'm in a bit of crap now, im missing 512mb of mem in my mem card, have to undo the partition, it all got out of hand, Android Framework, Android GApps, Android acore (whatever that is), and web browser all just kept force closing the phone just became highly unstable ,hot and slow, funny enough i did get a chance to run Quadrant and got 1848 first run, but so not worth all crap that mod caused.

Posted by Hobbs
Shit Tsepz.I just saw the word EXPERIMENTAL and
that was it for me.Hope you can fix that mess up.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Yep, managed to fix it, formatted my mem card, after backing up all the media.

Posted by amawanqa
Hobbster. That. was. epic.

My nerves are shot, LOL.

Posted by Hobbs
Bloody marvelous performance.Also a bit frazzled at the edges.Another great game of cricket.

Glad you sorted Tsepz.

Posted by Hobbs
Tsepz Video Illusion.Why cant I install? Install Unsuccessful.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
I have no idea why Hobbs, it installs fine for me, does the ROM maybe have it already installed?
by the way, after saying i was sorted i realised the format done more harm than good, it began rebooting and saying System Not Responding, long story short i flashed my phone back to 1.6 (only official SE ROM i had, xRecovery was removed in the format) ,and then used SEUS to flash back to 2.1 ,man, i have NEVER f*$ked my phone up so badly, and to add to the irritation i had assignments for uni to finish up, anyway after a whole day of running on stock SE 2.1 and just having finished my assignments i am now official sorted, and totaly wrecked, that Data2SD sure humbled me wont be modding anything for a while (like a week ).

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

Posted by Hobbs
Tsepz What a headache.I also only had that 1.6 firmware to flash but decided it would just be quicker downloading the latest firmware and flashing.Our poor X10's.We can't just let them be.Fantastic phone with great potential.Thats most probably why.Going to try a Video Illusion.apk from outside the market and see if that works.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
indeed, we just keep trying to get the best out of them. I wonder why it doesn't allow to install Videocam Illusion, maybe try deleting its folder in your memory card?

Posted by Hobbs
Maybe its a FreeX10 Beta thing.Should hit Xda and see if anything is mentioned in the thread.

SWEEEEET!!! Im officially done with 2.1 then!

Posted by Hobbs
We are so lucky to have all this support for the
X10.This phone could have been a dead duck
if it wasnt for the XDA dev community and I
most probably would have taken my new upgrade.
Im sure the camcorder fix will be improved with
HD recording soon as well.
Now just that elusive Bootloader.

Posted by Hobbs
Sounds a bit low on video recording but I ain't
complaining.Other than that the quality is
perfect.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
I'm happy with it, it even has Continuous Auto Focus, the moment i saw your post i flashed my X10 to Cyanogen MOD 6.1.3 V4.3 and threw in the CameraFix. Yah, hopefuly they get HD video recording in, but im not too concerned, WVGA (800x480) is what we had before 2.1 and the X10 always did it well, i just wanted a Camera that worked properly, what i hated about Videocam Illusion is that it used software encoding only so the videos it recorded were seriously choppy and people's voices sounded like Chipmunks , couldn't stand it.

Hobbs, i flashed to FreeX10beta4 today, must say i'm actualy enjoying the clean look oed Froyo, dont know why i didnt like it before, Trip's ROMs have lots of tweaks and additions, what i liked in his ROMs is they CyanogenMOD Settings in Settings as i was able to tweak the the notification bar as well as the colour the LED went for certain apps amongst other things, that said i didnt do much tweaking other than making the notification colour black and setting the LED to go Blue for FB, Red for GMail, and Light Blue for Twitter so didnt need all the other stuff, it feels better to be on a much 'cleaner' ROM, glad Zdzihu didnt mess with the Fonts too much, nor with icons, or add more animations, it works well just the way it is, i hate the start-up screen though lol, very nice ROM overall though, think i'll keep it and see how it goes.

Posted by Hobbs
I like it too Tsepz.I tend to keep my whole system clean now.Install only what I need,change the wallpaper and change fonts.Thats it.Dont use Widgets except for the Google Search widget on my homescreen for quick access to Browser when I need to check something on the internet.

All I have on my phone at the moment is,

Typefresh & AndExplorer (needed for Typefresh to work)
Facebook
Gmail
Catch (note taking )
EboBirthday
OperaMini
PDANet
Quadrant Standard
Ringdroid
RockPlayer
TuneIn Radio
Twitter
and obviously all the GApps stuff like Talk,Maps,Search ect

Havent been to the Market in quite a while.

Thats it bud and I'm a happy camper Its fast.

Terminated my other contract today.Its never been so easy.This X10 must be good if a contract become due and I don't even care.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Yep, its good to have a clean system, phone just flys. I'm actualy back on CyanogenMOD, i eventualy got sick of the stock Android look, that notification bar realy bugged me, so did its icons ,the whole stock UI is just too bare, the X10 has such a sleek design, the stock UI (for me) didnt suit it, in Cyanogen like i said Trip has put in many tweaks, it has this nice thinner notification bar, with a batt icon thats grey and dark blue ,plus the same signal indicator as the SE UI, with grey and white writing for the time and signal, he also added some more fluid and creative animations, and improved the icons in settings etc... i think im a sucker for eye-candy, i just dig the way the whole thing looks, goes with the sleekness of the X10's design.
Here's how mine looks:


Im using around 11widgets across the homescreens, but i also dont have too much installed, i stopped installing crapware.

congrats on fighting the temptation to upgrade Hobbs!

Posted by Hobbs
Very funny Tsepz.Your poor X10 is been hammered.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
yep, by the time my upgrade arrives i will have squeezed every bit what it has out.

How's everyone doing over here? Seems like I'm the only one not owning an Android handset. Hopefully that will change next month when I'm due for an upgrade.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Brix hope you're well, glad to hear you'll be joining the droid camp, which ones are you looking at? HTC?

Hobbs
I still cant believe we're getting 2.3, a few days before that announcement i had totaly written-off any possibility to get even a minor update from SE, i'm confident in them now, hope we see some dual cores from them next year as i actualy may just stick with them.

Posted by Hobbs
Yeah Tsepz,,SE have suprised all of us.By the way,was looking on XDA for a stable,everyday use Gingerbread ROM.Does one exist that you know of? Thought I`d play around with it a bit until we get the official.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
Nope, there's none that i know of, they all seem to be missing a lot of features.

Posted by Hobbs
Thought so Tsepz.Sussed out that whole thread and came up with a blank.Nothing complete or almost complete.Got itchy fingers since the Gingerbread news and now itchy toes with the opening bootloader story (I know its just the new range) Lets hope with them relaxing a bit some dev out there gets an anonymous email with X10 bootloader opening instructions.

Hi Brix.Been a while.

Posted by Tsepz_GP
same Hobbs, even been watching Arc vids just to get an idea of how Gingerbread will be, wish someone could just release a clean Gingerbread Custom ROM with atleast RF and Camera/camcoder working.

Who ever manages SE SA's Twitter account should be fired:

The 1st time ive enlightened an employee about their own company's products and hope its the last time i ever have to.
