Check it out guys :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
These are used as a replacement for the default cover so it seems. Pretty nice, not too fond of the brush effect though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] royalbloodvi:
Really nice just like the Xperia X1 effects, and gives it an Xperia ion look!

WHATS A huge turn off is the text moaa, is that the seller name to label its his pics or am actual stamped name on the cover =/?

If it's real metal, wouldn't it totally mess with the NFC reader that's on the back? Not an issue if you don't use the tags i guess.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deathscyther:
urmm.. that's just a photo watermark
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] katsuru:
Good question....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnubisNefer:
Don't think its real metal, just a metal finish over a plastic cover. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tyrien:
I'd assume just over the images... otherwise they look randomly stamped on as the placement is nowhere near consistent.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] black97one:
just received mine...really good feeling :)

NFC don't work with this cover...(plastic + metal skin)

don't fit on the back 100% perfect :p

;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
If NFC doesnt work with metal, I wonder how sony got it to work with the Xperia P. Nice looking back though. No NFC sucks as I like the Tags.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sidneylopsides:
Just got one of these, messes up the touch response. Shame!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] royalbloodvi:
just got one of these, NO REGRETS. gives it a premium feel, and NFC is overratted, style for the win! all my friends envy my phone, and now with this, *drool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] R64:
Got one to try. Luckily it wasn't that expensive because for me it is a waste of money. It doesn't fit right and it is just not looking good. And almost twice as thick as the normal cover.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
If it wasn't soo thick I would get one. It does indeed look nice, I wonder if they will have a similar textured plastic one in the future. I would hate to lose my NFC functionality.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MnM.933:
it looks good but i prefer the original

but thanks anyway ^_^
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mglover:
HI

i have xperia s white and i need metal cover

in ur opnion which cover i choose???:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
The silver one or grey. If you want brighter than that just pick your favorite color.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Peppoid:
Here's my feedback. Blue on on white Xperia S.

I like it despite blacks outlines :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Huh..?

Shame? Why would they shame? Because bringing a back cover out for people who wants to change it..?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] andoridkiller:
You should really stop posting useless posts! Its a shame as the person would like it if it did not mess it up their phone!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Look dude. I dont know who you are.

I dont follow your posts eather..

Who is useless? He just says shame to that guy, he doesnt even know him? Maybe people like it? I got it now, if you dont let it original it is to be shame.

Look at your own then look to others.

With youe useless. How old are u kid?

I would like to say more but this is enough for you.

If you want to discus go to youtube. Enough of them!

Next time watch your post.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] andoridkiller:
You get lippy and deserve to get smacked around the face. Where ever I read you post a **** ass comment which is useless and unnessccary, so just shut up and keep your unhelpful comments to yourself. Even if he was talking about the person what does it have to do with you? Nothing! so do us a favour and just **** OFF!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sidneylopsides:
It seems you don't understand what I meant.

It's a good idea, I would have liked the Xperia S to have a metal cover.

The problem is, these ones aren't very good. First of all they are a loose fit, the metal sheeting doesn't keep to the same curve as the plastic meaning it lifts at the corners. It's thicker so spoils the lines.

Worst of all, holding it and using the touch screen makes the touch response unreliable. If you look at any other phone with a metal case/panel, they have a "grounding" connection to the metal. The S doesn't. I assume this is what causes the touch issues.

In conclusion, it's a nice idea, but its a shame it doesnt work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jorgitosms:
"It is a shame" does not mean the same as "Shame on you".

The first post from sidneylopsides is not humilliating at all anyone! So Efe64 please moderate your reactions and keep post clean, no one is blaming but you.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] andoridkiller:
Im not going to bother with you, as i dont believe its fair on the users who want to use this forum to get help and help others, which you dont do!

Please guys follow the forum rules of XDA, I have nothing against the 2 of you, but if you guys post things like this and discuss like this here then it's not ok.

If I read one more **** off or something like that I'll report both of you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krabappel2548:

I'm just kidding about the second thing :D

I know you used my rom because you posted there too :) always good posts not harming anyone ;)

But little details..

The corners are not glued perfectly.. I think i need to fix it with strong glue.

Phone feels different :p

Used for a week.

One of the hold clips are broken..

Typical made in china thing
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
The covers do look very good, however the only thing putting me off is how big it looks in the picture.

I think if the back cover was sticking up at a higher level than the transparent bar then I would not be a fan, I like the smoothness of it now :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jacker60:
Can you post some pictures of how it look like? :p

i want to buy one but i dont know if it fits ok, I read that it doesnt fit well :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] israellive:
very nice!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
Apologies if I indicated otherwise - I don't actually have the cover, I was commenting on the pictures that others have uploaded. :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
I have this thing.

Used for 2 days and threwed away.

Doesnt fit, thick as s**t.

Its not nice like the pictures.

Did not fit as good on the edges, but els, it fits good.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] butters149:
does anyone know where i can buy the stock original covers?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Augustus Longeye:
So from what I've read these metal covers DO interfere with the NFC, but on the other model (I believe it's the U? Or the P :P ) it has a metal cover to start with. Assuming that has NFC, as someone on this thread already posted, how does that work? Is there a way, then, of getting a metal cover that is conducive to NFC? If so that would be great!

I'll admit that a few of the comments here about quality of build have put me off buying one of these, I want my S to be shiny and pristine, not lumpy and dented!

I have the old TWRP installed via KFU and now want to update it.

Can I just install it straight over the old one and if so how do I do it ?

I understand that it's not as simple as using KFU to do it.

Any advice appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Use fastboot if you can. Assuming you have FFF installed and know how to use fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/twrp.img

...or you could use one of smirkis' scripts.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrider:
Is there an advantage to the new TWRP? I'm currently at 2.0 and trying to flash AOKP and hung at the opening animation and wondering if it has to do with an old TWRP .
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wigsey:
I have FFF but as fire as I know that just takes me into twrp.

How do I get into fastboot. I've previously done this through KFU I think.

All I need is a step by step of how to do the install.

I get that I put the twrp 2.1.1 file on my pc and point the fire at it by running the fastboot command but I'm really not sure how to get into fastboot.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koop1955:
wigsey, I couldn't figure this out either. I had switched from TWRP 2 to CWM. Messed around with ADB and Kindle Fire Utility and I was only able to get back to TWRP 2; then I followed soupmagnet's advice. Installed Root Browser, downloaded and installed the scriptfiles. BEFORE running the scripts, however, I moved the latest version of TWRP into the Files folder of the scripts; renamed the twrp2-blaze.img version that was in there to "old" out of habit; copied over the new version of TWRP and renamed that to "twrp2-blaze.img" and then ran the script. Rebooted and had the 2.1.1 come up.

I am sure that there is an easier way, but for whatever reason using ADB just didn't work for me and this did.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wigsey:
So basically use the soupmagnet method but replace his twrp file with the new one renamed to the same name.

When you renamed the old one did you move it or leave it there. Wouldn't it be easier to delete it ?

Is the based place to get the new file from the TWRP website by the way ?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
If you can, you want to get into fastboot and flash it from there. You don't have to copy it over to your KF first, fastboot knows where your recovery partition is located, it will do some basic checks to see that it will fit on the partition, etc.

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

If at all possible, do it this way.

Alternatively, you can put the image on your /sdcard partition (this is what pops up when you mount the Kindle Fire's USB mass storage device on your computer) and write it directly to the recovery partition.

From the terminal emulator app...

su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

This is essentially identical to the way smirkis' script will do the job.

It's a pain to type this on a virtual keyboard, so you can also use adb like this...

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

In both cases above, you must have the mass storage device unmounted from your computer so your KF can access the file.

If you need fastboot or adb help, you can find it in the 3rd post of this thread...

It should be noted that the "dd" command is nothing to be trifled with. It's been nicknamed "data destroyer" for a reason.

Pay CLOSE attention and verify what you have typed is correct before entering.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koop1955:
kinfauns, I tried the fastboot method, having renamed the 2.1.1 IMG file and it did not work for me. Seemed to go along, but when I rebooted into recovery, I still had 2.0.

The scripting method is a kludge, granted, but in my case it was idiot-proof.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Actually I renamed the old one ".old" in case I needed it later. After success I deleted it. And yes, the TWRP website seems to be the best place to get the latest version.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
This sounds like you used the wrong fastboot command. The old install directions for 2.0 had you "fastboot boot" the image and now you need to "fastboot flash recovery" for version 2.1.0 and beyond. Any chance you just mixed up the commands? If you were not successful with the "fastboot flash recovery" command, it would have told you so... otherwise, it almost certainly would have wrote it out to the recovery partition.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koop1955:
"Any chance you just mixed up the commands? "

Always a chance of that, but I am all sorted anyway. FFF 1.3 and TWRP 2.1.1
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadeo1111:
You're on a roll, may as well get the latest FFF while you're hot.

One quick question: What do you think about the camera lens? Do you think it will scratch easily without using case?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Russ741:
With or without a case the lens protrudes so the chance of scratching is not mitigated by a case. A little bit of common sense care should be enough to protect it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cbasse:
Great review - thanks! Can you confirm whether or not there's an FM radio built in? I've heard conflicting reports, but none from someone who actually has the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Some cases actually do put a lip around the edge of the lens lens, preventing it from touching wherever the phone is.

Your review was amazing, btw.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Russ741:
Good question, wish I had a better answer. The application isn't there to test so I can't say for certain if the radio is there or not.

True, but the lens area is much larger than other phones so I'm not sure even a case lip will be that effective. Thanks for the complement.

O-Rly - fresh extract of 1.68 rom.zip

this is the apk that when logging in during setup flag's your account for the 25gb eligibility (also is the integration into sense).

You'll get an email to the email account which you have your existing dropbox account attatched to, with a link to a page,

and then 6 or 7 list points that you need to complete first..

You need to do the all except for the 2nd and 3rd options from the bottom of that list.

The main dropbox.apk however is not included, but its the same one that you can download via google play anyways.
