Android 2.2 & X8 & Flash

---

If somewhere in time X8 get Froyo, will there be Flash support? Cause i read that the flash support depends on processor or something like that.

10x for you answers.

Well the official statement from adobe is that flash 10.1 requires ARM version 7 CPU and our is version 6. Despite of this there is custom froyo roms for other devices with arm v6 cpu so it should be possible. The short answer is that is SE make official froyo or gingerbread rom for X8 it will be probably without flash or with flash lite 4. If we manage to make custom froyo rom it will probably have flash.

Why we don`t start a work on a custom froyo rom ?

'We' is funny word. It means 'I will try to do nothing, but I'm waiting for others'

In fact I can try to bring this up myself but I am new to Android development not new to Linux (as an Unix System Administrator). So if someone give info what is needed to be done I thing that I can create a froyo rom by myself.

As I understand the problem with froyo is that it use a different kernel then the eclair. But because Android is basically linux the kernel don`t affect the software only affect the communication with the hardware (drivers). So we have a 2.6.29 kernel on our X8. If we can use the same kernel for the froyo apps then we can run froyo as well on the same kernel (same hardware) also we can run Android 2.3 on the same hardware/kernel.

there are different APIs.. eclair uses API 7, froyo uses API 8 (info from Android SDK).
so there can be difference in drivers and other.. but it's only my guesses, dont blame on me

You can study the asop froyo rom made by zdzihu for x10 and try something similar for x8.
I don't know anything about linux so can't help you there...

As I understand this ASOP Froyo MOD is only the system.img and data.img and it`s exactly what I need to make the rom for X8 basically what I thing should work is to flush the Phone to 2.1 rooted and after that on the part when we copy the /system folder to copy the one form the Froyo MOD this will work i suppose but need to try it.

Installation process is quite ok but you'll need to make it compatible to x8..
