[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ~Hbk~:
Hey guys.

I have a Samsung B6520 Omnio Pro 5 ( a replica of the B7320 in terms of specifications, although there are minor hardware changes)

I hate to say this.. The UI on my device is rather drab. I'm sure it can be tweaked. I want to make it visually appealing.

But I wonder if there are any custom roms for my device at all . I got this mobile a few weeks back. And i haven't been very satisfied ( as far as customization goes)

However, i do feel Windows Mobile 6.5 is better than Symbian (man, winmo is fast. hope it stays that way ). And that's the reason a decided to get a winMo in the first place.

I really hope there are some good tweaks/ROMS/ apps/ that can enrich the overall mobile experience.

can Someone plz help me on this?

Cheers :)

Just got my Arc yesterday and noticed a really wired problem. I turned on Wifi tethering and connected from my MBP, after a few minutes of normal usage internet stops working. Although Wifi still shows connected on my Mac but sites will never load.

I keep getting "WPA Key" incorrect error if I try to reconnect before I restart Wifi tethering on my Arc. Thing is this only happens when WPA is on, if I choose no security it works completely fine without any issues.

I also tried connecting from my Nexus One and the same thing happened after a few minutes, so it shouldn't be some sort of conflict between Arc and my MBP.

Everything else on my Arc works perfectly, I already tried a hard reset but it didn't help. Does anyone know what else could I try before sending my phone back to SE?
[Xperia Arc General] wyterabitt:
anyone?

Hey did you find a solution? Or has anyone got any suggestions, I have the exact same problem. I can connect to the phone for about 2 minutes then it suddenly stops working. I then cannot reconnect properly untill everything is reset. I tried using it without security after finding this post and it works for me as well - I don't want to have it open though, im in halls of residence so people will try using it. Im on three mobile, I wondered if it is a possible problem with their branded software. (USB tethering works perfectly)

I also cannot connect to the update service through the phone, it fails everytime but there is nothing wrong with the 3g connection etc, and only the update service has problems. I know this is not important, but it could be a sign that something is wrong so it is annoying me a little :p

Thanks

I have started this thread because I believe it would be a crying shame to lose the skill of Bin4ry from the freex10 team.

I am positive if everyone was to donate a small amount, 5 or 10 of your currency, we would collectively be able to in effect purchase the x10 and let Bin4ry keep it.

All donations are to be made to Bin4ry this thread is here only to see how much we can raise to let Bin4ry keep his x10 and continue in the development of the phone.

This is purely down to choice if YOU want to no one is forcing you, if enough can not be raised I will see what I can do but please help if you can no matter how small and post here you intention.

Please help, we need Bin4ry and his skills TARGET 200

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE NOR DOES IT FORM ANY PART OF A GUARANTEE, this pledge is merely if you want to, and that you understand it we only give Bin4ry the option to continue developing on the x10 when he wishes. Instead of losing him all together he will continue to develop when his time allows. This is nothing more than a gesture from us none devs and a way of us helping a dev for a change. BUT PLEASE DO NOT THINK THIS WILL GUARANTEE ANYTHING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T other than Bin4ry will still be able to develop for us when he wishes.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
He said himself he just wants to move on to a new challenge.. Leave him be
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Agreed. He wants to move on.

EDIT: According to chiefy009, Bin4ry would stay if you can raise enough money. I can donate USD $10.
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Had a message from Bin4ry he will stay if we raise enough. I will donate 20sterling once we reach the total donations I will notify Bin4ry and we can make donations

200 needed I will donate 20

Only 180 needed easy if people can manage 5-10 each

Come on lets not lose a Dev like bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
This thread had been cancelled until I had a message form Bin4ry please pledge what you can if you want to keep Bin4ry trying to crack the x10 along with Jerpela, Z and the others

once all pledges have been made I will either make up the difference or we can just click donate on Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] 06bgoggin:
I'll give in £10 (British) if he would stay :)
[XPERIA X10 General] oliverpeabody:
Ill throw in 20 dollars canadian
[XPERIA X10 General] anders260:
I give £20 (British)
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Thankyou

So far £50 British and 20dollars we will be there in no time ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
$20 US from me.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bin4ry:
OMG, you guys are really crazy aren't you? ;)

As i said this is a nice idea, but i'm still not sure if i should feel comfortable with getting money from you just for staying with my X10.

Offcourse:

As i said, if you can manage to clear my account balance i will stay, as promised.

But are you REALLY sure that this is needed? And are you REALLY sure that you know that i cannot make any promises (except i will not stop working on X10!)

There will never be any promise that the X10 will get cracked fully and that the bypass will function fully!

I just want to clear this before accepting money from you guys :)

Best Regards

Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Bin4ry we are aware but we stand more chance of it being cracked with you sticking around, we would do the same to keep J, Z maxfron and all the others, the x10 doesnt have that many devs and to lose one of your skill would be damaging to its chances, if enough of us are willing and get close within the next 2 weeks what ever is left i will try to make up end of the month.

I said that figure was 200 is this correct ??

If i could code i would and i probably wouldnt do this, but i cant so this is my way of helping and everyone else's
[XPERIA X10 General] Bin4ry:
Ok,

but still i don't know if i should feel comfortable with that.

See others like J,Z etc. (you named them), are working hard on this too. And they won't get anything. So i think it simply is not really fair!

See:

I decided to leave, to find a new phone and play with new things.

Others like J&Z are still developing hard for you and others.

Now i will get an amount of money, because i decided to go and offcourse i can not afford a new phone without selling the old one, and they won't get because they still stay here.

See my problem? Yes i understand well the goal is just to help me stay here AND have a new phone. And i really think that this idea is really good and nice!

AND i appreciate that many people here would donate their hard worked money to me!

But the above problem will stay, others will feel skipped or atleast feel a little sad. It seems like they will be "punished" because they stay here.

THATS my problem with the donation thing to be honest :)

And be sure, with j&z you have 2 real good developers here, you don't need much you just need GOOD ones :)

Best Regards

Andreas
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
yes but they get donations from many of us and buy new hardware and software with it, over a period of time the donations will all even out, allow us to do our bit to help freex10, by helping devs like you stay with the project ;) and still get what you want a new phone

this is us mere mortals way of helping and doing our bit
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
£50 sterling

$40 dollars

and counting
[XPERIA X10 General] Dmaxon:
lets be a bit realistic here, sure bin4ry leaving us is a big loss but there is a reason that hes getting a new phone.

he's simply tired of the x10 and want to explore something else I suppose, which means he wont have any motivation to spend any time on the x10 at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nagarebozhi:
and you are Bin4ry? Don't speak for him! And maby start read before post, Bin4ry is saying that he like to keep working if we can help him, but he feel bad against the other devs like J & Z etc. But IMO J & Z got a lot of donation so I don't think you should feel bad for it Bin4ry..

Xperia​

Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted​
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Sssssshhhhh not donating why post?
[XPERIA X10 General] Dmaxon:
guys calm down, ofcourse its your choise to donate or not.

according to me its just a waste of cash and to be honest, I kinda feel sorry for bin4ry to have all this pressure of you guys donating for him just to stay.
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Its not pressure. We donate to j and z do they feel pressure? NO

Why post to cause problems? You don't agree that's up to you but why post about it no one cares.

Once we get enough pledges then we will offer it to bin4ry because we are happy to do it no other reason. If you aren't move along simple really

LET ME STRESS PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO
[XPERIA X10 General] Dmaxon:
How is that even the same thing?

They weren't directly thinking of changing phones in the near future were they? NO
[XPERIA X10 General] tigermrk:
£5 sterling. Not much but worth it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Byrana:
Hmm, I talked with b through PM...actually I wanted to open a thread but chiefy was faster :)

I totally agree with b on the topic of receiving donations and his conflicts. With all the devs around, it is even hard to figure out who did what because they all work kinda like together. Goroth helped out alot and I am not sure if he received any donations whatsoever.

If Bin4ry wants to leave it his decision which we need to accept (although it is hard to accept), it feels like a big loss because he contributed lots of good things to the x10 community, just to mention the freakin' awesome flashtool.

In truth we actually donate because of our own "fear" that there won't be anymore development and are bound to the SE-Software crap...I mean hardware is nice but the rest is mostly bs. Anyways, there are awesome devs around here working hard on the X10 and Bin4ry is/was one of them.

So to release some of the pressure from B, I'd say everyone who is willing to donate money for his new phone or for whatever he likes should do it now, without posting that he donated.

I do not understand why people put there transaction numbers into threads, maybe they need recognition or hope they get more rights or whatever.

So here comes my recognition...muhahaha...I will donate some money for your liking Andreas. I donate not to have you stay here ... I donate because I should've done it already. Your flashtool is just noobsafe and I used it alot :)

If it is gonna help the cause to keep you a bit more interested in fooling around with the x10 than that would be a nice side effect.

Also I will donate to other devs too but I started my own business and things go slow in the beginning :)

So lets cut it short. I hope we'll raise enough and you decide to keep the X10 and work some more on it but it is a DONATION free of cause (at least for me).

Lets silently donate and let Bin4ry decide whatever he wants to do with the money.

Nochmals vielen Dank.

Alles Gute, egal wofür Du Dich entscheidest :)

Wenn Du keine Spenden willst, kannst Du ja den Paypallink entfernen :D

Regards,

Peter
[XPERIA X10 General] Patricks_book:
I will donate because u and i would not have are x10s so up to date if it wasn't for these guys. I don't have the money to upgrade or want to. So give some even if it's 2 or 3 bucks you know this forum has helped and has made are phones even better and you know it's better then the iphone or are you going to buy an arc or so for 3 or 4 hundred or more then in 2 months buy the new if so 5$ or 10$ will pay for all the help you have gotten so far and then sell your old x10 on eBay or even better give it to these guys. THANK You XDA an all it's very skilled Senior Members

I will be donating more to all that contributed as much as he and others have as time goes on but i do have limited resources.
[XPERIA X10 General] brat81:
What is with the x10 forums just seems to be donations after donations let the guy go.

He's done his work bare in mind was alot of work.

Why not give him a % of of the already claimed (so called) donations ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Patricks_book:
I,m sure that Bin4ry will share. Seems like that kind of person and knows ho did what and how much. And has already said that he would share the donations. I to believe it would be a crying shame to lose the skill of Bin4ry but if Bin4ry is going then bummer that is the the way it goes.

Again THANKS TO ALL Members for the input
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:

The only reason I set up this thread is if people silently donate I don't know what I need to Make up. But I take on board your comments
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
For crying out loud I created this thread for people who wanted to help give Bin4ry the option of staying and helping with the x10.

I did not force anyone to make a pledge and I do not expect everyone to make a pledge, but what i also didnt want is a debate on why people should or shouldnt make a donation.

It is quite simple you want to help pledge to donate you dont then dont comment and move along, I dont care what you think about it or what your thoughts are on it. This is simple thread for those of us that would like to help but cant code so we will donate and give Bin4ry the option of staying and helping ad hoc should he wish to.

I dont want debates as to why you should or shouldnt donate, I just want to know what you can donate because YOU want to, then I will make up the difference.

You want a debate go start your own thread
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
£55 sterling

$60 dollars

will run this thread for the next week if we get it to at least 175 collective I will make up the difference at the end of the month and buy the x10 for Bin4ry to keep.

If people want to pm me with there what they can donate instead of putting it on here please do, I can then tally it up and make the difference up if needs be.

If you have pledged please donate when you are ready to Bin4ry through his link and title the donation x10
[XPERIA X10 General] Byrana:
Sorry for my thoughts on your thread. I didn't put x10 on my donation for Bin4ry but I think he knows from my name I put in.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I can donate £5 not because I don't care or respect bin4ry but simply that's really about all I can spare for now....

@cheify which currency are we aiming for 200 in? Euro, Sterling or dollars? I hope we can achieve this and wish I could spare more at this time.
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
We go for 200 collective of currency, what ever the short fall is in the conversion I will make up.

Make your donation to Bin4ry and on the donation title just put x10
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Do we donate now or when we have enough donations together all at once?
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Wait till a weeks time I will then pm everyone who has said they will donate and then we will go from there :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Byrana:
Just wanted to mention a new X10 cost around 360€ at the moment here in Germany. That would be 509,25600 US-Dollar :)
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
An x10 here in uk is costing around 150-200 sterling from ebay

which is 320.58 dollars or

226.62 euros

so where you got your figures from I have no idea
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Thing is its not a new one we are buying, we are giving him the money to keep his one and not selling it so second hand costs apply.
[XPERIA X10 General] Byrana:
I checked on Amazon.de for a new one...it is really the price you can check :)

On ebay you'll find a price range from 250 to 290 € for a new one over here.

Sorry just rechecked on Amazon it is 304,60 for the black one and 322 for the white one.
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
we are not buying a new one, we are in essence, buying Bin4rys second hand one for him to keep.
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Bin4ry has removed his donate button, it will return in one week from today.

So far he has had $30 dollars donated directly to him.

In one week from today I will pm everyone to get their donations in.

Great start already if everyone donates what they have pledge with what Bin4ry has received we are nearly their.

Thanks everyone
[XPERIA X10 General] Nagarebozhi:

[XPERIA X10 General] bazji:
ill donate £10
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
What's the total so far cheify?
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
60 Sterling 40 dollars. Halfway
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
I'm bringing my nose here, the binary said he's not promising anything. So don't come after stating that you gave him the cash and you never heard from him or that he will not be developing more for this device. The guy has been honest. This is not an obligation, you can loose your money.

Don't say that you have not been warned.
[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
It wouldnt be lost money. I dont think anyone, even if donating, thinks he would be obligated to do anymore than he already has. Bin4ry has been behind almost every one of the major breakthroughs with this device that just about everyone here has and continues to benefit from. We all owe at least a debt of gratitude to Bin4ry for the flashtool and his progress with the bootloader bypass.

Im having some issues with my bank account right now and cant promise to have it handled in a week though I am working on resolving it. I pledge $10 US when I get things sorted and assure that even if I cant promise it by the end of the week if the target donation level is reached I will make my contribution :)
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
60 sterling

50 dollars

I understand your comments Mr clown I have many times pointed out that this is purely for people that want to make a donation and are aware that Bin4ry is making no promises, this is a way of the none devs giving something back.

:)
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
Ok, please be clear on you first post then. Other members can be confused and can think otherwise (bounty).

Thanks,
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Please check out first post hope that is ok ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
It's Ok, good luck then.
[XPERIA X10 General] rapatu2010:
I will give my $5.00 US 'widow's mite.'
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:

[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I'm not sure if we can get enough together on time chiefy :-( I'd love to give more but I have moths fly out my wallet everytime I pull it out as it is.....
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
there is still a few days yet dont worry, we only got to get to 175 and then I will make up the difference
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
We're 70 short though... trouble some
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
at the moment we are, over the weekend we might see some difference
[XPERIA X10 General] ledn:
10$ from me
[XPERIA X10 General] Bin4ry:
Ok, fist thanks!

But bad news:

This morning i bricked my X10. I was trying smth. to get write access to recovery partition.

Good news -> i was able to write

Bad news -> seems that i was not writing to recovery ..... Phone is dead, so i must have overwritten some critical areas.

No way to restore it through normal flashing.

Strange is: It is still trying to powerup. Backlights turns on, but no "SONY ERICSSON" shows up.

Flashmode is there, flashing is doing fine, but still no reaction after flashing.

So thanks for this thread,but i won't accept any money,because this phone is dead now!

Sorry guys, i've done my best, seems it was not good enough!

Just want to tell you!

Going to lend me some money from my GF and buy another android now!

Since i got one new i use some of my old ones: Problably T610 :P *like it* :)

Best Regards

Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Damn that really suck Bin4ry :(

You've done really great work!

~~ PlayGunsta
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Now that's a bummer, you must be amounst the first to 'properly' brick an x10! Once again I wish you the best for your future and your new forum will be lucky to have you.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bin4ry:
Yes seems like it, but if you are playing with fire you will burn yourself :P

I tryed the very hard way to force it to boot my changed recovery. I had the hope that i can use the recovery mode to implement my kernel.

Now that was the result :/ I think i missed something and so i accidently wrote into the wrong areas of nand and overwrote some parts of the s1boot. But thats only a assumption. cannot say if it is really like this, all i can say is that the device is dead.

Maybe i get a Incredible S, its still locked, and my tests over IRC with some guys showed that its breakable.

Regards

Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I don't suppose with the total raised so far its enough to get you another cheap second hand x10 off ebay or something? If others are still willing to contribute?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bin4ry:
No thanks. After the adventure this morning im really fed up with the x10.

Regards

Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I don't blame you tbh, I'm sure no one will hold it against you, espicially as you have already given / done so much for us and the x10 communtiy :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
I tried to keep you Bin4ry good luck pop past and say hi every now and then

Put your button back i want to donate for all the times i should have but didnt ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I wish we could get together and have some kind of leaving party in honour of him, I know this sounds quite sad but it would be interesting to meet some of the guys I chat with most days here too. Shoot me, I'll be quiet and return to my corner now lol
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Agreed, I'd love to see the bite behind the bark of some of my fellow members. Especially, my long time adversaries like.... Well I won't name names, but they know who they are. Just kidding, lol. Actually, it's the ones that I don't often agree with that I feel closest to in this cyber world. It would be cool to put all the chatter aside, and have a few beers talking about anything other than SE and our X10's. I don't know if that would mean we'd agree any better, but BEER! It would be very interesting to see the differences in performance and personalisations we have all come up with first hand. Heck, we could make it a mini X10 convention, and write it off as a business expense. (By mini I meant small in numbers, not X10 mini handpiece. Although they can come too.)

We can have it at my house in Florida. My home is on the lake with a ski boat, 30 minutes from Disney and Universal, 45 minutes from the beach, and golf courses galore.
