[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gohyc:
I would agree too (but then again, anyone who doesn't want TF3D in the ROM can always install Jack's 1.04 ROM which is fast and stable), but being adventurous, I decided to flash 1.05, and I was totally BLOWN OFF by the blazing speed of TF3D, and generally the speed of this ROM.

On previous ROMs without TF3D, after installing TF3D, I will feel the device will become slower somewhat but not 1.05!!! Trying using Resco File Explorer to list the content of \Windows folder; on previous ROMs, this can be painstakingly slow, but on 1.05, is it real fast man!!

How did you do that Jack? I mean the speed is amazing!! Even soft-resetting the even, the startup is a lot faster too!!

My observations:

TF3D (I believe the functionalities are inherent to the version of TF3D extracted?)

1. Camera Widget - First time when opening album with default path \My Documents\My Pictures - This is a very fast compared to other TF3D for Xperia, other TF3D install, this was a crawl.

- Camera button launched the camera app in camera mode

- Video button launched the camera app in camera mode (not video mode)

2. Music Widget - Audio Manager

- AVRCP not working for BT Headset! :(

- Sounds quality from BT headset is lousy (BT settings already set for highest BT quality)

(I remember it sounded quite good in other TF3D installation

- Audio Booster working (with earphone plugged in only)

- Phone Speaker mode does not work when phone is put on standby (workaround, use utility that turns display off to save battery)

3. Love the addition of Calendar Widget (unfortunately it is not stable at the moment)

4. Touch Sensitivity - This is one of the biggest difference I noticed. Do not have to press too hard to activate an action on all the panels (probably a registry tweak by Jack to reduce the pressure required?)

5. Crashes and restarts itself on several occasions (as mentioned by Jack, it is caused by the Calendar widget)

Installed Software

1. Hope you would remove any software that requires registration (trial version that is).

2. Spb Backup is a great software, but the pre-installed one is missing the Today's Plug-in! :( I ended up having to re-install Spb Backup just to get the today's plugin. (I used SecondToday to display all plug-ins that isn't possible with TF3D)

3. Resco File Explorer, BIG Icons for quick buttons does not work.

4. Coreplayer even with proper registration gets screwed up and not able to run after that. Workaround, I re-installed Coreplayer.

5. FFF - Totally useless as the font size is too small

6. Wish the HTC keyboards/phonepad/etc is not pre-installed as it disabled word suggestion. I would rather have TouchPal which works beautifully with Xperia and does not disable word suggestion when using the hard keyboard. TouchPal also supports Chinese Input without installing another SIP. HTC EzInput Panels also makes the "Foreign Language key" (key next to Sym) not workable. (Ok for me as I remapped it to become CTRL key).

7. AEBPlus latest version is 2.6.3, but installed one is 2.6

8. PocketAlarm - crashes on every attempt to add new alarm (doesn't matter as I prefer Chronos).

9. RamDisk links in Settings Start Menu not working.

Overall, I love the speed of TF3D and the ROM. If only a lite version is cooked with TF3D. Normally I would prefer things that are constantly underoing changes not to be "cooked" into the ROM, but since this makes a difference in speed, I wouldn't mind it in this case. Perhaps Jack can provide his version of TF3D with optimized speed and touch sensitivity as separate cab download?

Thanks again Jack for the great work! :)
