please add .net framework 3.5 & keyboard HD
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] grayme:
Jack, sounds great.

As for the following requests for this in or that, we always have the same debate on every forum whenever there is any ROM.

The only solution that will please (nearly) everyone is to have a vanilla ROM with cabs for people to choose what they want in.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cHarOn99:
yes an vanilla rom should be the first thing :) and then for all languages :)

regards cHarOn
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phenx:
I would like a ROM with the unneccessary things removed. But I would need a german one. Since you seen experienced with building ROMs, could you give me just a short hint what programs you use to customize the ROM? I did a search but ended up being more confused than before :-/
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
in linux I use pofs lrk - linux rom kitchen, it works reawelly well
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
As I replied in the rom thread, Rom Kitchen for touch pro work perfectly in extract the rom. But you need some changes in the parameters in order to repack the rom.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] hkfriends:
how can dump the rom for backup first?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phenx:
The ROM sounds great! Any chance you will do the same with a german ROM? Even with the Links / Hints you provided I think I can't do that myself yet, even though I will try to learn... when I get some free time...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] UKTamo:
Can you reupload to rapidshare or put it elsewhere?

It's done that link
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
hkfriends, not sure if working for X1 or not. I remember there is a generic tools to dump rom in devlopment section. But for me, I can just refresh to UK official rom somewhere in this forum.

phenx, probably not since I don't know any German.

UKTamo, minor updated one 1.01 is on Megaupload now.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ttkman:
can u also please other packaged cabs? What I miss right now is quick-gps and acrobat reader. would be nice if you can provide them too

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
I did not remove quick-gps, acrobat can be found everywhere if you search around (maybe in adobe website too)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ttkman:
Thanks for your fast answer and the ROM. I must be blind to overlook the Quick-GPS :o

Anyway, its really cool to use ... Thank you for your efforts ... now I need to play with the automatic installation scripts and then everything will be perfect.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xxnoelziexx:
version 1.05 full is a great rom only had a few issues with it great work.

Does anyone know what version of Bejeweld is preinstalled on the default X1 generic version. Would like to put this game back on there.

Can't wait for the next version Jack.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dinan:
Oh wow, interesting. I didn't know this ROM would work for the X1a as well. Does your HSDPA still work and everything?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mubasa:
in my x1i the hsdpa and hdupa are working GREAT!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lildogg:
the x1 ringtone and media files link is not working. could sum1 plz post the files again ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zjzhsh:
just wondering is it possible to remove all the default input methods? they are a bit annoying and waste of storage since we have the better HD keyboard. thanks you.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Matt-Helm:
Everything works just fine.

The only bug i've found is the Internet Launch Browser Tab in TF3D doesn't launch a browser IE/Opera. I only have IE right now.

I'm sure there's an easy fix.

I'm pretty impressed with this rom. The touch flow needs some tweaking moving between tabs. Seems to work fine from left to right.. sometimes sliding back from right to left it gets "hung up" for a second or two.

I figured wtf.. might as well flash the X1a... whats the worse thing that could happen? :) :) :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] anheuer:
#2 Ok, and is this touchpal keyboard freeware?

and what did you do to make this sip your default sip?

does this leave the SYM key alone? (so when i hit that key, the symbolpad still comes up?)

#5 i dont use the locking, i hit the power button because i use S2U2, which does make me wonder if it could be S2U2 causing this... maybe a setting.. hmm

anyone els have this?

then 2 more questions

1# i dont know how this was before , because i did not try this before i flashed to this rom.

but in camera mode, i just cant seem to get it to zoom with the volume button.

it keeps telling me that it cant do this with the current size/resolution.

i tried with and without wide screen.

but no difference.

2# i see that the left and right silver buttons on the dpad have mutable functions.

is this something that was added by the maker of this rom or has this always been there?

(not complaining... in fact, i really like it!

Ooh and one more

3# what is the ramdisk for?

Hi , i have installed Manila HD onto my Xperia, but i'm missing the Calender Tab like on the picture on first page of this thread... Is there any hint how to get it ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gohyc:
Only Jack's 1.05 ROM includes the Calendar tab for TF3D. Jack took the trouble to include that for us lucky ones. :)

It is such a joy to be writing this message right on the Xperia. :)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
@Jack Leung

My device is still on the retail "wait list", but I have downloaded your basic 1.04 ROM. From the posts here, I gather that RAMDISK is not included in this version.

Could you release a CAB for this application, please ?

Given the amount of free RAM available, this utility looks extremely useful
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dinan:
When I try to install apps, it asks if I would like to install it to the device or the ramdisk. Should I always install to the device? What about when installing Opera Mobile?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] andyboo:
Hi,

I have read this whole thread, but it never mentionded anything about panels. What i mean is, if i flash to 1.05, and then install the panels (lol im a fan of them) will they work fine?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] NEvolution:
Yup. They work perfectly fine.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dinan:
Yep. I use the panels usually when my Touch Flo 3D goes bonkers (gives me a white screen and says "Orientation Changed (Portrait)" and I have to switch panels and back to reload TF3D =\
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
I'm unsure of exactly what this means ... but I do NOT like the sound of it all.

Does it mean that I cannot take the micro-SDHC card out and read/write to it on the PC ?

If so, PUKE time.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] arnisv:
hi,jackleung

I also found paragon soft that makes localization to Latvian.

but as soon I istall it it kills cprog.exe and directorys disapier.

so I extrcted the paragon cab and moved shellres mui and got part of interface in latvian. now I want to compare shellresapp with YOurs and see the diference. why latvian shellresapp mui is killing cprog. and also see whot muis I have to replace in YOur rom and whot muis I have to translate.

is there any mui editor that has copy paste for strings

Thanx
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
First of all great work on the roms you released!

Though I seem to be having a few problems..

GPS, I cannot for the hell of me get this to connect, I have tried TomTom and GPS Tuner and Google Maps, none will connect at all. On the stock unbranded UK rom that I had before flashing I used to get a connecting within a minute maximum, usually about 30 seconds. Now it just won't connect, I have tried it in my home, I have walked for over an hour through various terrain (woodland, streets, city) and it still will not connect. So I am leaning towards putting it down to this rom.

I flashed to v1.04 the clean one, could anyone confirm if they have had any problems with the GPS on it? I have used the QuickGPS feature to download where the satellites are but it still hasn't made a difference.

Another thing which I found last night now I can't remember exactly if this was the same as my stock rom or not but in the Sounds & Notifications menu, I can change my ringtone and such, but im sure I was able to change my Alarm ringtone and other such features, but the list seems quite small in this rom. Alas I have to go to my alarms and click the little bell icon to access the tone.

On top of that for some reason the stock sounds are not able to be chosen as alarms because they are .wma format, only the .wav's can be chosen. This was not the case in my stock rom, and we got to choose from everything. Wether this is just a registry issue that can be solved im not sure.

Any ideas?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Mine is working fine and I can read/write my card via a card reader connected to my PC. I have had it ticked and unticked and it didn't seem to make a difference. I am also using v1.04.

I flashed from a UK unbranded phone.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
does the remove from today items is enough?.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
For GPS, keep in mind it mean a cold start after rom flashing and it would take a long time to fix in the first time. Just make sure you use Com4 w/ baud rate:4800 or GPS intermedia driver. I tested w/ so many GPS softwares (IG4, Tomtom7, Garmin mobile XT, IGO8, Google map and MS live Search) and all are working fine.

For sound and ringtone, if you read #1 carefully, you should find I removed most of them in the rom to save rom space. You are freely to add whatever ringtone/sound you like yrself
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Man, why don't you just read a few post after HKFriend? Someone already answered it and encryption is not enable no matter what you select and it's a WM6.1 bug
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Thanks for the reply there Jack, I do appreciate it!

First of all may I ask what you mean by this Com4 w/baud rate:4800, is that an option or something I can change? I can't seem to find out anywhere to change it unless it's in the registry. Though I have honestly been trying to get a signal at every opportunity and location I can but have still not managed too.

In regards to the sound and ring tone, I did see that you removed them but it wasn't what I was implying. What I was trying to say was the ability to change the tones on the list, not the actual tone. For instance on the list of Ringtone, SMS tone, MMS tone, im sure on my stock rom I could change my alarm from here and other things, but I might be wrong, I can't exactly remember. It certainly isn't in the lite rom anyhow.

Cheers for the help!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Unticking it will stop it booting up on launch if that's what your asking?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
Sorry Jack, but the post I was replying to said encryption IS enabled and cannot be turned off. Hence my question. Someone else has posted a useful reply now.

Maybe you could comment on this question:

the tsk files (black & silver) in v 1.04 contain *.bmp files at 480 x 800 and 800 x 480. Can these pictures be *.jpg at the required resolutions, please ?

Any way to stop TF3D from changing the right soft key to <today>? I always have to go into the button settings and change it back to being right soft key.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
yes, does the today item that launch the apps? Or is it inside the registry?

I don't want it load the memory if it's not used :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mubasa:
any news about the langage cabs for the phonepad?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
It's not inside the registry, it's in the phone settings, there is tickboxes for all the items, just untick what you don't want to load, though it is only for the start screen.

If you want to stop what starts on the phone booting up similar to like a PC, (programs for instance NOT today screens) then this needs to be done in the registry as far as im aware. Certainly how I did it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
I can't be much help im afraid but when I did it I had the Rom v1.04 lite on my memory card so when it hit the 4 colour screen, it auto installed the rom for me. Was alot easier than any other method!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Just an update on this, I left the GPS (TomTom) on for 8 hours last night while I slept to see if it would connect and it did not, I also spent an hour walking this morning and still could not get a connection on either TomTom or any other GPS program im using.

Their is definetly something wrong somewhere, obviously the satnav is a huge part of the phone for me so I need to use it, thankfully not at this present time but im hoping these settings you speak of will help sort it.

I did check in my phone settings and found some options to change UMTS GSM and such but they were for the phone according to the settings, I don't know if they would affect the GPS? I currently have them on Auto.

EDIT: I actually found the settings you were talking about, they are specific to each program. So I have messed around, TomTom for instance only allows Com4 or Com7, Com7 lists no GPS devices so I have to use Com4, when Com4 is selected I can select the Baud rate. I have tried all the Pre-set Baud ratings on the list and it still will not connect. Now I had to get this by select other GPS devices as it doesn't allow me to change the settings on Internal GPS.

Google Maps has alot more options by selecting other Com ports, I have also gone through all the baud rates on Com4 and found it will not get a connection. The same applies with the program GPS Tuner which i've been trying to get working. Will not connect at all. Im really stuck now, can you provide any other suggestions as to what the problem may be?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
Wich step are you?

- Change the bootloader (hardspl) ?

- Install the new ROM ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] peter7:
I`m at hardspl ! - so change the bootlader
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
I assume you have read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431218

1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.

2) it is recommended you download only the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip

3) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!

4) run X1_HardSPL.exe.

5) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.

6) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).

7) Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.

8 ) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.72.OliNex (or 0.52.OliNex MFG).

What I did after this was clear my memory card and put the v1.04 lite rom on it. Then I put my phone into the bootloader screen (holding volume up and pressing power) then if I remember correctly it asked me if I wanted to install the new rom. Flashed, job done!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
Are you under vista?

Because me it was not working, i go on a XP and works at the first time
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
No Need to clear it, it works with a fully loaded card :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
I thought it might do, just wanted to start a-fresh and you never know, as when I read the guide it didn't say what to do. Still, it only takes a moment to backup a card.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] peter7:
Yes I read it and tried to apply it - pls see my little description - is it right ?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
If you have applied the hard SPL and that's done, then just flash your image via your memory card through the bootloader menu (hold volume up and press power).

I hadn't flashed a phone before and didn't really know what was what, so after I did the hardspl I didn't think it had done anything as I thought that would clear the whole phone but it didn't.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Check post #2
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ianl8888:
It's OK, Jack, I've found all the necessary files, Registries etc in v 1.05. Transferred these to v 1.04
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
I would suggest you to try GPSGate first since Google map (not sure about Tomtom) will timeout and give up if yr GPS don't get a fix in certain time. It will said connected but no valid position in the beggining until it get a fix.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gohyc:
Hi Jack, you mention earlier you will provide instruction/cab to disable the HTC EZInput so that word prediction will be enabled again when using the slideout keyboard.

I used SKTools to remove all the HTC Soft SIPs, but still no word prediction. Would need your kind help in this. Thank you.

Right now, I only have TouchPal and Symbol SIPs enabled, works great but no word prediction on hard keyboard. On ROM 1.04, the word prediction would work with TouchPal installed and without the HTC SIPs, so clearly HTC SIPs are the culprits.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Check post #4 now
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gohyc:
Thanks Jack. It works great!! :)

A tip for everybody. If you want the SIP list to pop-up faster, go into registry, export the following key, delete it, and re-import the key back into registry.

\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID

This will speed up the SIP list pop-up quite significantly. This method works for all Windows Mobile devices and if I am correct, since WM2003.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] peter7:
JACK ....I do everything what is written here and it still doesn`t work:

step by step:

- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev

- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!

- now the steps

1. download the stock spl package from this post.

2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.

3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.

4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.

Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).

but then the error message is coming and no

"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
does anyone have the same problem than me:

Sometimes, i lost the upper bar, it's black.

- if i press the WIN key on the keyboard, the start menu appear but not the bar

- if i lock the device everything comes back.

- if by error i press the X panel button it happens faster

- i use wktask (the best task manager) and i have try every type of parameter
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Thanks for the reply Jack, I tried GPSGate like you said last night and while it detected the GPS fine, it couldn't get any data (orange symbol box thing) It wouldn't connect at all.

Im at a loss as to what the problem is and am clutching at straws. As much as I didn't want to im going to see if I can flash back to the stock rom via SE update. If not i'll try another rom off here and see if it works on any of those.

I suppose however unlikely it could be a problem with the device itself, but I doubt this due to it working before I flashed to this rom.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] vwrmic:
Never had this myself. Though I have never used this wktask you speak of. Perhaps that is the problem?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nusul:
it's a taskmanager that fill the upper bar with tasks

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Nusul, I don't have any issues as yrs. Please backup and test it clean w/ hard-reset. Probably some software you installed screw things up.

vwrmic, I can't offer much help then since I don't (and no others) have this GPS issue.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mubasa:
can someone share the 1.06 in rapidshare???
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
If you read the released notes for 1.06. I dropped the blackstone keyboard from my rom because it's T9 conflicted w/ the hardware keyboard word prediction. If you still want the keyboard w/ international phonepad, you could install the blackstone keyboard cab from itje.

Personally, I think touchpal is better and work nicely w/ the hardware keyboard. I didn't included this in my rom because it has to be locate outside of \Windows, therefore did not give us any advantage to included it in my rom.

This is normal because the first boot will try to perform UC custom installation from the SD card.
