If 2.3 comes out and we are running rooted roms/custom kernels will we have to re-root our phones or will the devs just release new roms/kernels that can be flashed in CWR?
[Thunderbolt General] TDubKong:
I read quite a bit about NFC and it seems that all phones in the Japanese market are using them and it is being used to read all kinds of information in Japan. The average user there is using it for everything from transit fees to market purchasing simply using their phones.

OK so I been a evo owner since it came our and like it a lot I do not use my ffc a lot so don't really care, but I probably get the evo 3d and sell this one, but my sister has a shift 4G aand wants to get rid of it so I was wondering if I should exchanged it because it came out later and if I sell it i probably get more money in summer, what you guys think? Right or wrong choice?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Honestly, though it may be newer, you may get the same price because the shift is newer, but less slightly lower specs than the evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Yeah but is faster tho, I know cause I used it and is a 2nd generation CPU
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
True, but I still think you'd get roughly the same, cuz it too would sell as used.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Mm I see idk yet my sister want to get the evo and I want to help her but I don't want to get screw tho mmmm
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well you can ask around, that'd be your best bet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
they should yield the same resale price. im getting offers on my evo 4g for $250. im trying to decide between the shift or a new evo. only since i dont like sammy devices(no nexus) and really dont want to suffer with the evo 3d(hate 3d anyway) and its tiny 1730mah battery...AAHHHHHH really hate the cell phone game.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I originally had the Shift. I couldn't deal with the keyboard. Switched it out in under 24 hours.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Still undecided? Mm no idea if I should or no shift development don't look too good
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I'd say sell it...evo shift = stepped down evo. most people want the full powerhouse.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Well I wouldn't sell my EVO till the EVO 3D comes out tho that's my problem :( I don't want to stay without a smartphone and sprint doesn't have anything else to appeal me ha ha I would use my iPhone more if I sell it :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
I played with the shift for awhile..it made me appreciate my evolution. Didn't realize how much the small keyboard/screen killed the experience. Btw, thought the Epic keyboard was great (size/comfort) but it's a flawed device.

sent from that one guy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Ah I thought you were in a need to sell state...i would just hold on to it...I only like the evo as well...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Mm I see not need to sell is not that I was just trying to help my sis and my wife , one doesn't care about smartphone and the other don't know crap about them lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Lol, rock and a hard place...but trying to do right by both.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
My roommate has a Shift, and while its snappy, as the roxx said, its a step down, in my opinion. Smaller screen, no ffc, no HDMI (we have full mirroring now...),no kickstand. I guess if you don't mind those things, and like a physical keyboard, the shift is nice. Also, as you noted, shift development has been a lot slower than the Evo. Aamikam is over there though. Also, when I rooted his Shift a couple months back, or whenever it was, there wasn't even a solid recovery, just a 1/2 working hacked version. Although I think clockwork works on it now. No amon RA though. But yea, its slower in the dev department over there, but not dead, by any means.

a. this forum sucks, thats why. full of stuck up douches who create garbage and then yell at people to" keep reading". thats because they have no clue how to fix the crap they put out.... yeah you magnus.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
They do know how to fix it. Chances are, you didn't read the OP, or there are obvious compatibility issues. Common sense goes a long way.

Assholes like you that contribute nothing, don't look for an answer, and then ***** to someone that has put days, weeks, months worth of work into something, then give it away for free, are the ones that pollute this forum.

You hate the forum? Fine. Go away, we don't need you here. Grow up, learn to do a search & spend more than five minutes on it, then come here and post that question if you can't find the answer elsewhere.

This is a great forum, and while some members are assholes, most are very helpful. However, if you come off immature & hostile, you're going to be met with hostility.

Oh, and the real answer to your original question... they don't want people not knowing what they're doing, posting in the Dev section. You should try answering some questions in Q&A and help people out for a change.

Come here, to the Q&A section and answer these questions. Answer the questions in the Q&A section for your device. You can post there. That's what I did, and still do.

First of all, my google-fu is very weak. Furthermore, the forum search engine apparently hates me, so please don't say anything about research or searching. I've tried and failed spectacularly. Also, I'm something of a newbie, so please be merciful. Thank you. :)

My old ROM is starting to act up, so I'm looking for a fast and stable Windows Mobile 6.5.x ROM with TouchFlo3D. Other things I can't live without are the long-press End and Call keys and the long-press Power key drop-down menu (like in the Touch X ROMs by smaberg), but if those can be installed afterwards without messing the ROM up, they're not required in the ROM itself.

Also, I never use the Xperia Panels (always delete all the Panel stuff and re-bind the X-Panel key to Nitrogen :D ), so not having the Panel Manager would be a plus.

I have previously used mainly the Touch X ROMs (I'm a huge fan), but they're not available in 6.5, so I'm willing to experiment with some 6.5 in order to (hopefully) find a new favorite. My current ROM is the Touch X 10.9.1 Nuts, that's the kind of speed and reliability I'm used to.

What I mainly use my Xperia for:

Calling and texting, naturally (VITO SMS-Chat)

Getting up in the morning (ageye G-Alarm)

Music (Nitrogen)

Internet (Opera Mobile 10)

GPS (Google Maps)

Notes (OneNote Mobile)

Movies (Media Player)

I'm going to install all of those by myself, so don't worry about them.

Thanks in advance for any help, guys! :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobius87:
Dynamics 2.0 should satisfy your needs. It's the most stable rom on this forum, at least in my testing.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buidoidaihiep:
totally agree, so far Dynamics 2.0 is the best choice.

:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
Dynamics 2.0 seems to have TF3D all right and I can do the long-press keys by myself. I'll surely try Dynamics out.

EDIT: Found the drop-down menu thingy, it's smaberg's Actionscreen.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
try one of energy's roms. they are very fast and stable, with a host of customizations.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
Whoa, the Energy ROMs seem real nice, thanks for pointing them out! They might take a bit of getting used to, but in the end I think they might be worth it.

Also, while Dynamics 2.0 is probably the stablest of the two (having less modification done and all), which one is the faster one? Anyone have any experience or insight?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
frankly speaking Dynamics seems like a rather new ROM (post Jan 2011) and since i 'decommissioned my X1 in Dec as a secondary phone to my Milestone 2, i havent gotten around trying it. however, from my experience of using many other ROMs, i personally found energy's ROMs to be really FAST and STABLE. it shouldnt take much getting used to as its based on the HTC HD2 (with the latest HTC sense).

if you are looking for raw speed, then go for the most basic version with the least applications. i think it should be labeled as sense 2018. however if you wanna save yourself the time from installing programs from nitrogen to opera, go for his sense 2019. and since he has skinned many variants, you can choose the design you like best.

hope it helps. if u really do want, i can try find some time over the weekend to flash the Dynamics ROM and let you know how it is. do let me know anyway.

cheers:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
BEFORE I FORGET

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886371

you can also check this out. ROMs which do not have TouchFlo or HTC Sense tend to be comparatively faster. though i havent personally tried pure, i heard some pretty good remarks on it.

my advice, if u can, try them both out. Pure and Energy, with and without Sense, and see which suits your personal needs the best.

hope i am helping instead of confusing you. if you need any clarification, do ask.

cheers:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
You're not a least bit confusing, I may be a bit green but not a total newbie. :D

EDIT: I'm flashing Energy as we speak. Ran into a bad case of Error 262, but got over it. :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
so sorry for the late reply. just got up from my nightly slumber...lol. anyways, glad to hear im not confusing. i tend to mix up my words sometimes.

oh ryt, i have never gotten any errors while flashing any ROMs but its good u got over it. anyhow, i do hope it is fast enough and stable enough for ur liking. as i said in my opinion of flashing many ROMs i found this the best, and hence the reason why i recommended it to u:)

do keep me posted on how ur finding it

EDIT: im sorry but i think i might have given you the wrong link for the PURE ROM. its actually Russel's Eclair I was on about. there arent many screenshots on it, but if you do read on you'll know that it is a very minimalistic ROM, which runs on WM6.1/6.5 without sense. and its been skinned like a stock ROM. the beta version i flashed in november was superb. you could give it a try as well.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
Well, I'm having slight problems with how complicated the Energy ROM UI is, as well as numerous dead shortcuts and programs failing to start. Also, HTC Sense 2.5 is noticeably slower than TouchFlo3D (which my previous ROM used), so everything doesn't glide as smooth. So I'm not a huge fan, at least not yet. If I can't get this to work like I want, I'll try flashing a different Energy ROM. If that doesn't work, Dynamics 2.0. If that doesn't work... I don't know... Touch X 10.10?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
u see how he has skinned different variants? what i have tried was the glass version. its actually very smooth on my phone.

and yes, it might be a little complicated initially, but the more u mess around with your phone, the more you'll learn. as for dead shortcuts and non start ups, check through the thread to see if anybody has the same problems as you. if they do it might be a bug (and the cook might either be working on a fix, or there might already be one).

as i said earlier i havent tried dynamics as its a relatively new ROM. but touch X is considerably slower than energy in opinion, with very regular crashes. in my opinion, using everything from rotastrains to energy, this is by far the best ROM with Sense out there when i tested.

EDIT: if others have not reported the same problem as you, try a hard reset. if that doesnt solve it, ask the cook for advice by posting on the thread. you are sure to get a solution within 24 hours. im sure its just something simple to tweak around
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
I'm using the Dinik's Anastasia. Some things are infinitely faster than in Touch X, such as opening menus and starting/closing most programs, but others are a crawl, such as switching between the pages of the home screen and opening the start menu. So it's good, but not perfect. So Energy is about as good as Touch X was, although better looking, which the ease-of-use of the Touch X-series compensates for. Although to be honest I'm yet to fully get the hold on Energy, so it might be this grows to be my favorite ROM later on.

I resolved the dead shortcuts. They were actually links to HTC Sense tabs which I had disabled, so the shortcuts just pointed me to the Sense home screen. I'm probably going to hunt down and delete all those shortcuts, because the whole concept of them appears pretty stupid to me. Why have links in the start menu for things that are already displayed as tabs in the normal UI? It's infinitely slower to get to them via start menu...

Anyhow, I'll continue playing around with the ROM. I'm starting to like it...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
well there is no such thing as a perfect custom ROM. all ROMs are plagued with bugs. the reason i recommended Energy in the first place, was because it crashes the least. u wouldnt need to soft reset your phone very much. also it starts up fast, and has amazingly good battery life for what it offers.

im glad to hear u managed to resolve the dead shortcuts. to be frank they didnt really bother me, as on the whole the user experience was what that mattered. and since most functions are accessible via the touch flo interface, you hardly ever need to use the start panel (if the speed bothers you) :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
Well, I've now set it up almost just like I want, some minor tweaks left, but good enough for now. I'm starting to notice that it is, in fact, faster than Touch X almost in every regard. The stability is slightly worse, but it's not like Energy is prone to crashes. It's still slightly more stable than the ROM the phone came with! :D

I deleted the whole HTC folder from the start menu and all the useless shortcuts are now gone!

I've still got some games and rarely used programs to install, but they're not important, so I'll do them when I have some extra time.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
thats good to hear, though i wouldnt entirely agree on you on the stability front. but its a subjective topic. anyway, enjoy the new ROM, and if u do need any help or advice there's a whole dedicated community here at ur disposal. :)

cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
I tried to answer you four times, but each time I got the maintenance/overcapacity "Thank you for your understanding." -message when clicking Post and the forum ate my message. :mad:

For me Touch X often crashed when under strain (buffer overflow?) and not otherwise, but Energy crashes at random (when not in use, when opening the virtual keyboard) while not having the same issues Touch X has. So they're equally stabile, just in different ways.

EDIT: Just after posting this, the phone froze when it was charging and the screen was off... -.-
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
Sorry for double-posting, but this is an update, so I hope it's okay.

I'ma whine a bit. While the Energy ROM initially looked awesome, I'm starting to get sick of all the SODs and freezes it has at least three times a day! :mad: Touch X froze or crashed on me that many times a week and never had a single SOD.

Tomorrow or the day after I'll try flashing other versions. If that doesn't work, I'll try Dynamics 2.0.

Also, keep suggesting ROMs! :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
its quite odd that you have so many crash issues with Energy's ROM. I never had any of those issues u mentioned. Perhaps cuz mine is an older, more stable build. anyways, there is an older ROM by Rotastrain. its called blaze & devilution. brilliant eye candy. however the developer no longer develops for the device anymore, so dont expect any updates or bug fixes. give it a try. its not as fast as Energy's but i do hope it will sort out the crashing issue.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
I'm really fond of my current Energy ROM, but it keeps me on my toes all the time because I'm neurotically checking my phone every 15 minutes in case it has another SOD and I don't want to miss any calls because of that. Also, I'm now using another alarm clock besides the phone, because Energy has already SOD'd on me twice during the morning hours before the alarm and I don't want to be late for work.

So, I'll try every single Energy version, variation (well, all the good-looking ones... :D) and build until I find one that doesn't have all the SODs and freezes. If all of them have, it's Dynamics 2.0 or Blaze or another ROM up next.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
Alrighty then. Let me know how that goes for you
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
I downloaded a newer version of Energy (of a different flavor this time; standard instead of Dinik's) and after multiple ERROR[203]s and whatnot during flashing, finally managed to succesfully install it. Now, after approximately 48 hours of use, I have encountered ZERO SODs! :D Other bugs still remain, but they're either minor or avoidable and were already present in the previous one. We shall see how my adventure in the wonderful and mildy irritating world of Energy ROMs turns out... I'll keep you posted. :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcboypalaboy:
try using x826 rom. they're fast and stable
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
I took a peek and it seems like Energy ROM on steroids riding Jesus drinking unicorn blood! :D Thanks a million, I will definitely flash that ASAP!

Well, I was too quick to celebrate. :( You see, earlier today, approximately 72 hours after I flashed my current version of Energy, guess what? That's right! SOD... :mad:

EDIT: A minute ago? Another...

Now it seems my plan will be:

I. 826X

II. Blaze

III. Dynamics 2.0

IV. Touch X 10.10 *le sigh*
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
Oh brother...thats not good. Its weird cuz I never seem to have the problem ur having. Perhaps u gotta give a try to another rom..perhaps dynamics or russels éclair.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
Yeah, I'm sick of ****ing around with Energy. If 826X is as good as everybody says, I'll stick with it. It has all the pros of Energy and none of the cons.

You're welcome man :) actually I've been using it since the time I first changed xperia's original winmo ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

I don't know WHAT I'm doing wrong, but the SODs are back! :mad:

It also softresets on its own when recharging and the battery is full, just like Energy did! It's definitely not the device, as I tried two or three different WinMo 6.1 ROMs and I couldn't reproduce a SOD even though I wanted to! It's either HTC Sense (the ROMs I used prior to this thread all had TouchFlo3D or SPB Mobile Shell) or WinMo 6.5, it's got to be!

Could a radio affect the stability of a ROM? Just asking.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
perhaps it is the HTC sense that doesnt seem to be working well on your phone for some reason. funny enough im still using the same energy ROM since december and no crashes or SODs.

try flashing this ROM. it runs on WM 6.5 but without sense or touch-flo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776946

all this developers ROMs are non-sense based ROMs so do give it a try

EDIT: I STUMBLE UPON THIS POST AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE OF HELP TO YOU IF U ARE INSISTENT ON HAVING SENSE BASED ROMs:

willy and some other friends said that reflashing stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM, and then never do task29, is also true to avoid SOD.

but, I always do task29, and my ROM never SOD/charge freeze for more than two weeks..

here it is :

- use S2U2, then set to lock the device when Backlight turns off (s2u2 settings-> power)

- NEVER use the power button to sleep device. Instead, You can assign left or right softkey, or the X-panel button to execute s2u2, if you want to lock the device before keeping it in pocket.

- you can set the S2U2 to power off the device after 5 seconds (s2u2 settings-> power), so after executing s2u2, the device will be powered off after 5 seconds

how can S2U2 prevent SOD/charge freeze?

- the main idea to prevent Sense SOD/charging freeze is to change to another screen before sleeping the device. So, Sense services will not run (because it is in the background), even when waking the device, because S2U2 is now the foreground. SOD/charging freeze occured by Sense services.

- in another post, Willy said that using the original autolock (on power button) can prevent SOD, but I think that's not true.. because the lock screen comes AFTER the device WAKES, NOT BEFORE the device SLEEP
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tych0n:
I was thinking that Sense is to blame, too, but what I'll try first is not to do task29 and instead flash a stock ROM and on top of that Blaze.

I'm not familiar with s2u2 (in fact, I've never used it), but I'll try that if I can't get the ROMs to work otherwise.

I do love TF3D. Sense would be a bit better but apparently disagrees with my device.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
s2u2 just means slide to unlock. its the typical 'i-phone like' unlock screen. apparently installing that and following my instructions previously would help prevent your SODs if task29 doesnt. if you fancy u could have a peek at the software here. download links are also on site.
