Hi, I have my newly purchased xz1 compact.

I see that there are many risks and problems when unlocking the bootloader.

I appreciate if someone gives me an updated opinion of whether it is useful to unlock bootloader today?

thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
It's a very personal question and difficult to get an answer from strangers. It all depends on what you want to do with the phone? Have you rooted a phone before? If no, then this probably isn't a good place to start.

The road to successfully rooting is long and complicated

But this thread is probably the best place to start.

Personally I think it's more trouble that its worth.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] p@to:
Thanks for your answer. I read your post in another thread. and hence my question. I have already rooted one of them the z1 compact before. but there was not the degree of diffi xzcu xzlty that I find. here. Could you give me a brief account of the real benefits of rooting in xz1 compact today.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
Everyone has their own reason for rooting. If you dont have a reason to root. Then don't. I used to root in the past to remove bloatware, because I used to buy Japanese sony's which came with tons of it. Other people rooted for GPS hacking with pokemon go. Some wanted to theme their devices, make the apps and menu's into dark theme, etc. Other's wanted to remove facebook or google services from the phone for privacy.

I can say though - in December 2019 - you can root your phone, and keep your google pay, and camera functionality. So the downside of root, for me, are totally gone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] p@to:
[MENTION=7725478]Dean F[/MENTION]

thanks for your answer. clearer now. a December 2019 root in xz1 compact is less dangerous than in 2017. I will be well informed by the rooting process. which is badly complicated than in other brands. And finally I will. reason install roms of Android Q. thanks again
[Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers] arana1:
I have searched a lot and many sites say it does (https://www.frequencycheck.com/mode...-32gb-m1908c3kg-xiaomi-olive-lite#frequencies)

others say it does not:

https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/80c65232

the thing is I have not been able to get LTE signal in Mexico (movistar) which uses B2, I only get umts/Hspa+

and the icon is a H+

So not sure if I have not configured it properly , I have it setup as LTE PREFERED, seems to me as if it does not have B4, how can I be sure?

My fathers 5X stop working recently, unable to turn on the phone.

The two red lights was showed if I tried to charge is or start it.

So my first try was to change to a new orignal battery, the old battery seemed to bee very smooth(?).

After I installed the new battery nothing happens at all, even no red ligt and it doesn't respond on a charger either.....

Someone here who have experinced something similar?

@SeanFromSoCal:

I love it when users take the time to break things down in that fashion, it helps a lot! Well, taking into consideration what you've said, and the growing rate at which users are voting for the return of PocketMelody, I do worry a little:

A_C's S2P is at a state where it has fullfilled most of the aspirations I had for PocketMelody, and what the community truly needs, is great new applications that will continue to breathe fresh life into our WM platform phones. Now, if I continue to develop PM, I'll need a new path to follow, something that will stand out as different, it used to be coverflow but A_C has implemented this already.

But yet, I cannot simply ignore the overwhelming support that exists for PocketMelody (referring to the votes above), and that's basically what it comes down to for me, as a community developer.

Having said that, personally, I see the most room for improvement and FUN as a developer, in the idea of creating a new GUI. It's something I've had my mind on as I was developing even the ANCIENT Flash based version of Melody WAY BACK WHEN. Lol, but hey, if the votes point to a certain direction; I have no choice but to focus my energies and creativity towards the path of breathing new life into PocketMelody. I only worry that we'll end up with two programs, that do the same thing, but have a different *feel*.

Keep the votes coming in people!!

PS

Beta testers?!?!? You guys still alive? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
File Explorer or threaded sms

I would vote for a file explorer or a threaded sms.

1st - A finger friendly file explorer with the same functionality as wm filexplorer, resco, Total commander but with an interface like PocketCM or icontact. large selections and easily scrollable.

2nd - A threaded SMS with the look and feel of PocketCM's threaded sms but as its own standalone application.

3rd - A new UI. I really like the the new PointUI but is sucks a lot of battery and memory on my device. A flash base system may do a lot better.

Curious George
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uniqueboy:
I would still love to see a finger friendly file manager, something that looked and felt a bit like PCM but instead of browsing contacts it would show your files. It would have filters for stuff like favourites (any files you choose) all mp3s, all videos, all photos,all txts, all .exes or whatever you want. It would be possible to set a default action when selecting a file, ie what software would open it. I have suggested such an app a few times before and been swept under the table. I truely think an app like this would be about the most usefull thing on a WM device. If it's not new and been done before why bother. I look in this forum for new and useful stuff and am a bit bored with the lack of new developments at the moment. How many great mp3 players are there allready? Don't be swayed by the masses, as my Mum says "don't be sheep" most people just can't think out of their boxes, do something origional and great.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Finger Friendly File Explorer or FFFE as i like to call it, LOL, or slide to explore or....you get the idea.

Check out the file explorer A_C incorporated in his S2V or S2P. Like large selections. Or if possible a hybrid of that mixed in with icon exploring like wm6.1 folderview.exe. Either way, large thumb sized selections with a soft interface and easy sliding. Heck you could figure out some way of expanding on album flipping for folders and program launching. Ewwww or building an interface of FFFE that does the job of Resco, total comm etc BUT that also pull info off of an ORB account. Just a thought.

What do you think of taking the idea of Face Contacts and mixing it with the new diamond interface's contact program.

Your thoughts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shabicht:
for all those looking for a finger freindly file explorer (say that 5 times fast) you should have a look at resco FE. It's not free but it's pretty good, offers lots of options and big buttons.

WINNER: A NEW GUI!​

Okay, this was actually quite dramatic, at exactly 11:58 NEW GUI and Pocket Melody were tied at exactly 100 votes. I began to worry: "oh no, what am I going to do if this thing ends up in a tie? flip a coin?" Lol, then with just one minute left, a flurry of seven votes came ringing in for A New GUI, hence we have our winner.

--END OF DRAMA--​

Okay, the community has spoken and I've officially got my work cut out for me. I've got some ideas, both graphically and code based, but I'd like to hear from you guys as well. In addition, this project will probably be more graphically intense than PocketMelody was, so I'm asking anyone out there with some photoshop skills to please lend a helping hand, and work with me to make this project a success.

Apart from this app's looks, I think it must be a priority to create a UI that has the most used features of our phones built into it, so that the user sees as very little of the original WM UI as possible.

I'd also appreciate it if we can now use this thread to shout out some UI ideas to work with. I'll have a name for the project by tomorrow (I won't waste more time engaging another poll for the name, once we get the project to at least a few releases, we can then think of a refined name).

Looking forward to hearing from everyone, LET THE FUN BEGIN! I'm off to create the perfect dev environment for this project :).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TweakMan:
New Wm Gui Idea!:)

Heres my suggestion/input for a new GUI.

As Im sure you've noticed, the Diamond has incorporated a perfect way to navigate the today screen. The "slide tab" menu, the feedback thru large icons, and the functionality it brings to the phone is a huge plus among most people on this forum.

I would really like to see a more functional toady screen photo viewer and audio player incorporated into a nice GUI or today screen plug also. Again, I refer to the diamond's ability to view vids and photos , and music from the today screen. This is also a huge plus for any WM powered phone owner.

Another thing that would impress a lot of people in my mind would be a new style of animation. While the phones most of us have do not have the graphic capable hardware of the diamond, a great dev could find a way to impress still. Im burnt out on the slide side to side junk. I would like to see a new "Fly In" style animation. Let me explain. Lets say you had the tabs to choose from. You decide to go from the music page to the message page. Instead of the same old slide in from the side, or fade in animations, have the page "fly" in from behind. It wouldn't be hard for a good graphical dev. Just keep making the image increase in size. Smooth it out, speed it up, and you have a new "FLY IN" style animation.

One last thing. A new way to cycle thru messages, ex: diamond, would be nice. Anything new would be nice I guess.

As I said, Im not saying to create a new , or another diamond theme. Just using the phone as an example. The diamond opened up a whole new world of style for us. From the way it shows sms and email, to the ability to view photos and music straight from the home screen. Im not saying to make a diamond GUI, even though a working bugless one would be nice, but rather giving the example of the new features I would like to see.

Hope this works out, and I think if anyone can do it, youve got a great shot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aksd:
A few suggestions for the new GUI.

Task Switcher:

You had ported a coverflow type app for WM awhile ago if I'm not mistaken. How about having a task switcher which uses screenshots of the app running displayed in a cover flow type fashion. That would be just amazing.

Today Screen:

Maybe you could go with a today screen plugin UI like throttle launcher. But lets not go the Diamond way :D, too many diamonds around. I think A nice large clock like the SPB classic clock with a scrollable bottom row to change pages, a seperate page to add user based today screen plugins will be cool. One of the pages can be the task switcher. If animations can be added to the plugin that would make it perfect.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zack84a:
whoop

Perhaps a place to start would be to look at GUIs that are out, decide what they lack and what we like in them. Start making a list of essentials for the new gui..

From day one I would make sure that you keep future skinning in mind. IMHO if you look at the real successful items on XDA-DEV often times customization allows users to tweak the program to their own style.. Look at the mobile shell thread.

Finally, which I think you proved in pocket melody development pretty well, is taking the project in baby steps. Get essentials working, and then lets start getting complicated. A_C is the master of this. Anyone who has followed S2U2 from the beginnings of S2U realizes that you can have a great program and it be very basic. As you go on you see what needs to be improved, or what might be a good addition.

All in all, excited to see you back at work, and hope to help in anyway I can.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Corrykid:
GUI, for sure.

I have yet to find that perfect GUI.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Well personally, I've always enjoyed being able to use a custome theme in my apps. So, I vote for a feature for a "one-click" theme change in the settings!

Also, as TweakMan mentioned above, like the Diamond Theme. Not graphically, but using the "slide" feature. Instead of using the "softkeys" to change to the library, you could simply slide from Player>Artist>Albums>Genres>Playlist.

I'll try to draw up something to show what I mean if you would like.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trekvogel:
Unfortunately I'm not very good with graphics but I am willing to beta test if you can use another tester. A new UI seems like a great idea. There are a lot of alternatives but none of them really has what it takes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Hmmm..New GUI; Think Carefully Before We Jump In..

Interesting shout for a new GUI. I guess this has been brough on by the attempts by others, notably pointui, to break the mould.

Now while I am fully supportive of a new gui being developed we must not underestimate both the size of the challenge and the time it would take to develop. Furthermore I am not convinced that a new gui can be developed that will satisfy everybody's needs.

Therefore before we even start we potentially have a point of massive failure for this project.

Why don't we go back to the very beginning and start to list out what key items each of us considers to be "must haves" in a new gui? That would enable us to assess the size and doability of this challenge.

Once we have this in place someone (I Guess Chad) needs to review/assess these requirements and let us know, in principle, whether we have a truly workable idea here or a dead duck. That assessment should include how one either completely sidesteps the WM6 interface or integrates it into a new gui such that one is not aware that it is there.

Another point to consider is would the developer be able to maximise/utilise what is already out there, in terms of alternative gui's, to take us to where we want to be or must he/she start from scratch?

Pointui, as an example, has been a great start in the alternative gui game; however, in my opinion, it is nowhere near where a new gui should be. This, I think, illustrates the size of the challenge we have with all of this.

My penny'sworth/dollarsworth for us to think on...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uniqueboy:
Hi chad, can your new GUI incorporate a file veiwer with filters? I don't mean any fancy stuff like overwriting rom files, just the ability to easily navigate and to open them. Also most of the clocks on theese things seem to take up half the screen, so can you make that option scalable? Good luck to your project.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
me again.

new gui with your pocket melody thats the way ! a launcher, weather, pocket cm and so on.

But new ui would be a lot of work, may be you can go together with other developers, because everyone here makes his own great thing, but why not make one BIG THING together?

i tested all this apps here who are slow, hard to costumize, not working ore need hundreds of other apps to run.

so ui would be a good idea and let pocket melody be a part of it.
