[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
First post updated, we have collected more than half, I believe that even with small donations it will be possible to reach our goal before year's end! :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Pyrojester:
£10 Donated, need to kickstart the rom scene.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
Dutty makes great roms, I have used his roms many many times, and he really do amazing work with the devices he cooks for.

I have nothing but respect for dutty and the way he work.

I am not gonna elaborate what I ment with what I said, because obviously it dont belong here. I am sorry for making/stating the comment, but I still belive what I said.

If dutty comes to xperia, I consider that a good thing. We absolutly need ppl to develop here. And if dutty needs any help in any way, I will, as I have done in the past, help him when/if he ask (just as he has helped me when I asked him)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] alwayslearning:
I just donated the 55£ as I said I would. I was hoping to get this paid for as of today. I am such a big fan of Dutty as I have used his ROM in my tilt, diamond, HD and I hope for my X1. As of today I have itje’s ROM on my X1 and it is a great ROM, way to go itje you have done a wonderful job, keep it up. ;)

I do believe the more the better. I am hoping what will come with more people involved is a new radio (not FM radio) with a ROM. My reception in southern California sucks on my X1, my HD blows it out the water, the diamond I had was also great. I hope someone will be able to make the diamond or HD radio work in the X1i, I don’t want to buy an X1a for a couple of reasons. My X1i gets 3g in my area just needs better reception even in edge areas it is week. But I love the phone and would love to see it improved.

So I will put another 70£ on the table if you guys will help. I will do this again for the weekend only. I will match what you give up to 70£ until 7:30 p.m Sunday night PST:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
Thanks to Alwayslearning!

I added £20 more, so now ...

... just a few pounds to our new Rom!!!

A last effort, so many people watching this thread, just a few pounds each, even 5 pounds can make a difference!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] weezzer:
I just donated 5£ for the device... Now all you Xperia users donate for this!!! This will benefit all of us in a major way!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Pyrojester:
Did you match my £10 as well?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
I updated first post in compliance with his commitment - and, yes, I supposed he will donate as much as he has promised, thus keeping your amount into consideration.

thank you both. :)

now only £70 missing!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] alwayslearning:
i believe i did, but ninja.rogue can confrim.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
yes, the amount in the first post is correctly adjusted.

just £70 left.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
Great effort guys! Hopefully this'll get Dutty to do awesome roms for the X1 :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sabian:
I know that this makes no difference at the time being but come the end of Jan when I get paid or whenever adsense decides to issue payment for advertising, I'll donate as well, even more so if bbconnect can be added to the rom! ;).

/me kicks self for buying those last 2 presents for the kids, £70 would have been donated RIGHT now!

Curses to Xmas, you ruined my Xperia-ance!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
thanks to thedeva, who didn't post but donated!

now just 50£ missing.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dingolino:
Please let me know whether you received my 50 Pound donation (now the gap should be closed :D).

I have some wishes for Dutty:

- if possible please do something into direction of german languange too (the Chrsitmas present for my wife was a X1 and it would be easier for me to convince her if the language is the same)

- please have a look into "energy saving" settings

- please included "external" programs not in the ROM Memory (don´t know the technical term here) that in case there is a new version it could be replaced easily and need no reflash (some of the preinstalled games on the X1 could be uninstalled after a hard reset)

- or use something like

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366337

UC

with an example script maybe I am than able to do it myself as well.

The idea behind this wish is to remove "preassure" from the ROM developers to make a more basic "ROM" and leave as much as possible outside that "normal" users like me have also a chance to add new program versions over the time.

But I must confess that I do not know whether this is feasible.

Anyhow to have Dutty now with the HD AND the X1 is probably the best option to get good ROMs and the best from the HD world as well.

Best regards,

dingolino
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
I am waiting for Dutty to confirm the total amount of the donations and in this case we can consider the subscription to be closed.

Please wait for Dutty to post here.

Thank you all.

Paolo
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
I have contacted Dutty and - as has he has received donations also for other Roms made - I need the donators to contact me or Dutty (both would be better) with the names in the donation, so that Dutty can check them.

I am also waiting for Xmoo's reply to my pm, with details about purchase and shipment.

Cheers to everybody.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
This is great news... I made my donations as payments so I could ad a message whats it for...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
We have just a couple donations missing (one is half of it, and the other one is just missing - won't say the names, obviously, as I am sure that this is just for technical issues).

I have already contacted in pm the two donating members, so I am waiting for their reply.

The situation is as follows:

Dutty can't buy a Xperia at 350£ and so there is need for Xmoo to get that Xperia for as low as 350 as he proposed.

When Xmoo and Dutty will have agreed for purchase, payment and delivery - and I will have checked out missing donations so that Dutty has full price on hand - I will let you know.

It is a rather tricky thing to raise funds, but I believe it is for a common interest and hope that everybody will cooperate.

Cheers

Paolo
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] alwayslearning:
way to go guys, we did it. i have just finished paying my second matching funds for a total of £100.00. (i wish the dollar was a little stronger) i do look forward to seeing some great ROM's coming to the X1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bokek:
I have donated £10
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
How we looking on this? I really would like to get an bug free rom for the X1.......
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
Happy to say that now everything should be ok.

Dutty has regularly received the donations and Xmoo is taking care of purchasing the X1 and shipping it to Dutty.

I will keep you updated about delivery.

Then, it would be Dutty's turn to open a new thread for the new Rom, when he will think he is ready.

I would like to thank everybody who contributed, no matter how large or small the donation has been.

I wish you all a Happy 2009.

Cheers

Paolo
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
Great effort on putting this together ninja.rogue!

Happy new year :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
Yes and thanks for everyone who contributed for this, even a small amount helped... Some of you made quite large donations and I hope you do not expect this rom to do your laundry or wash your dirty dishes...:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] romeo0119:
It doesn't do my laundry? Damn it......I was hoping it would. I hate the laundry lol, can't wait for duty to release a new rom for the X1
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Almost!!!!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] romeo0119:
xmoo, did u order an x1 for dutty yet?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] geraldkw:
Due to the good experiences I have with Dutty's ROMs on the Diamond and the fact that Dutty is going to cook ROMs for the X1, I have bought an X1!

I hope that Dutty will start a new thread asap to inform us about the status.

I'm really looking forward to what Dutty can do with the X1. Go Dutty!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Dear foks,

I founded a Xperia for Dutty,

He accepted it.

I'm getting the black Xperia 2morrow.

Then I will ship it to dutty.

Happy happy new year :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Benzoid:
I have absolutely 0 experience from dutty roms (Xperia being my first wm phone), but judging from the response (People willing to cough up an xperia for a modder ! I haven't heard of that before), he must be very good.

Looking forward to this rom !
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
He IS very good. :cool:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Yes. He's one of the best and hardworking cook. :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nawfalah:
i cant wait to try this and see the difference.

this is the first pda i have owned, and have been bugged down by the sluggishness. hopefully he will sort it out
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] romeo0119:
Thank you xmoo.Been waiting for this rom since.....the start of the thread lol.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cHarOn99:
thats really gerat :), i hope dutty will also do it the same way as he did with the HD, Multilanguage :D (german).
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
I'm getting the phone 2morrow.

Let see how much the shipping is and when it will arrive.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rosebud:
let us all know how much the shipping is, im sure we will all be willing to pay towards this.

I would offer to pay the full amount personally, but it is january, and I already have no money till the end of the month :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jabe:
I am starting to get curious as well. I am not familiar with his ROMs, after all Xperia is my first WM device, but will most certainly try them out.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
If everything goes good, the deviece will be shipped 2 morrow to Dutty. So he will get it in max 5 days :D

The countdown will begin 2morrow!!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kheavy:
No pressure dutty - :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] enron2885:
haven't used a dutty rom before, but from the reactions of everyone here, it must be GREAT! Can't wait for a new ROM from Dutty.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] millercentral:
Some suggestions for Dutty on his ROM:

* Two versions Panels and no-Panels. In the panels version make TF3D a panel, in the no-panels version make it default interface.

* Links to launch every panel as an Application from the Programs folder (Facebook, Media, SPB, etc)

* Convince DupinBJK to finish his EzInput soft keyboard ports for WVGA and is as the default soft-keyboard.

* Nicely colored taskbar icons and offer a cab to use the Sony Erricson ball orb as the Start Menu icon

* Re-mappable Panel (set to Today screen on non-panel version) button.

* All the rest of the greatness from his Touch HD roms...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
Unfortunately, as most users do not use english as their first language, using such keyboard would render the hardware keyboard useless due to lack of accented words: scandinavian, french and italian people would not be able to use the h/w keyboard... not a big loss if you don't have it (like Touch HD) but an unbearable loss in case you bought a hw keyboard phone just to use keyboard everyday like me.....

It would be a wonderful option, to be able to add this keyboard as a cab, but other "standard" sips (like Touchpal) work as a charm ad leave hw keyboard untouched...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
The first steps here (in my opinion) are:

1. Get a bug free rom for the Xperia

2. Tweak it to the max to get the best possible performance
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
I'd add to that: Strip it down to the bone so people can choose what to install themselves.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
Will send it 2 morrow, the snow broke me down :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
True dat, I dont use panels or even TF3D...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
I'd second that too.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guap:
i use tf3d only, panels sucks imho... but I agree with "vanilla" rom ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dingolino:
Me too!

Make it "UC" and than everbody could add what he wants.

- I do not use Touch flow 3D

- just a very lttle bit the panels, but still like the idea behind

Fast and stable and battery efficient this would be a great starting point

Best regards

That was a great news :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rosebud:
Woohoooo! thanks Xmoo :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] awtryau89:
I also have used Dutty's ROMs in the past and I want him to do what he always does: Stock ROM with all the goodies, fast and stable. I have to second, third and fourth Blackberry Connect support. Somehow, someway, we have to figure out BB Connect on the Xperia.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] boi ninja:
i cant wait ...read this thread and been amazed at the length that people would go to to get a decent rom ..im a n00b with new roms/flashing etc and to me the roms available cant really get much better cant they? are there any examples from hes roms people can post up? :confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Bxsteez:
There are plenty of Dutty roms out there. We just don't have one for the xperia. I use Dutty's rom on my tilt. It was excellent!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
I use Dutty for my Kaiser and for my Diamond....

.... in my country there is a saying that more or less says that there is no two without a three... :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xmoo:
As some of you may know. Dutty hasn't got the phone yet.....

I went to the post office today and they couldn't trace the phone :(

Now there sending me some papers to start a investigation on the sending.....

First the woman told me it was 450 euros insuranced and now she told me 100 euros :S

So I'm confused right now. I did had once that I sent a package and took 2 weeks (instead of the ppl telling you 3 days) to get deliverd...

But we can't take the risk.

a.t.m we have to wait till dutty get's it or the investigation stops.

Sorry for all the delay :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] geraldkw:
Bad news xmoo, let's hope that the package will pop-up.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Angelusz:
Heh, a classic. You sent it from NL? The TNT generalized package insurance. So you're always covered for the full price if you sent it insured. The lady must've been lying. I do hope you packed it so nobody knew what was inside. Even if it's totally lost though, you can get your cash back on most occasions - just takes time.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] duttythroy:
Hi guys just colected the EXPERIA:) today at my local depot, missed the delivery on tuesday.

I will have a play with it over few days, I am busy with work this week but will hardspl tonight and flash a wwe ROM ON IT SO tO GET USE TO IT.

Thanks for all u helped getting the device and have trust in me to cook roms for X1.

If you can cook Blackberry Connect support into this ROM, you will be my hero. Big donations ;) (bribe, bribe) coming your way!!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fatso485:
dont forget the updated ati drivers SE applications like camera and the media experiance from the latest aisan rom.

hay dutty, how do you like the device so far compared to the diamond and hd
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
congrats dutty, you said to me that you prefer the blackstone type device rather then xperia type...but you are in 4 a surprise :D

welcome to x1world my friend, pm or msn if there is something you need.

cheers
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
Indeed Itje's post really shows what xda is about.

Intelligent, generous and cooperative people trying to squeeze out the max from themselves even more than from our phones!

Thank you!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rotsu:
Hey dutty,

Take your sweet time experimenting in this great phone. There are common problems that exist on most ROMs out there for X1, some of them have fixed them others did not. Would be nice if people state these problems to help you put.

I will make a list later FYI.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BadTasteUK:
Dutty, great to know you have an X1... I've been running Dutty 3.6 on my Diamond for weeks now without a single reboot. I've not had any bugs and it's running beautifully!

If you can get anywhere near to that standard on the X1 there will be some very happy people here!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
Yep damn site faster memory! :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Aleemz:
Apart from a nice rom, I'd pay a decent contribution for improvement to the radio. I'm running the 1.10.25.18 radio, and I still get GPRS in parts of my home where I get HSDPA with my Polaris.

How can I jump (or should that be fall?) from HSDPA to GPRS from one phone to another?

Any help Dutty on the radio side of things will be appreciated!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
And Dutty also if you could include a tweak to the rom that beebs everytime Im about to do a business decision that looses money.

EDIT: And please dont make it the same sound my normal notifications are, I probably would just think it notifies me to buy flowers to my girlfriend or something.

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] shadowmike:
all i request in a rom is being able to browse sonys panels pages. every rom using hd rom will not display panels page.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] odobo:
thats nice... whenever you lose $$ in a business decision you buy flowers for your gf.... or you lose $$ when you buy flowers for your gf..... :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] arnisv:
and NO TF3D. or as separate cab.

SPB on today would be nice.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rotsu:
Hi Dutty,

Just a heads up for some of the issues found in many cooked ROMs.

1- Video playback gets crippled. Playing videos taken by the phone camera screws up the phone video playback. I believe this has been fixed but im not sure how since i went back to using the UK generic ROM for now.

2- Black stone keyboard misses up the physical keyboard. The au button gets screwed up and word prediction doesn't work anymore. Some other soft keyboard reported working fine.

3- If you include panels(Most of us want them!!) I recommend using the latest panel manger and panel option files which can be found in the TW ROM i think?

The issue here is sometime when we press the panel button, the phone freezes and must be restarted.

Good luck man!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] itje:
If I know dutty, (:)) I belive he will cook mostly optimized close to stock roms. Im looking forward to see what you will do, and as you said dutty, lets work together and really improve this piece of technologi wich has barly started to touch the surface of its capability :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Loco5150:
Lite rom is something that many people will choose...

But like said before, most importantly Dutty is here to develope a stable and speed tweaked rom to the X1, IMHO anyway. Thats why I donated for this, not to get my favourite programs included to the rom.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
this.

Also, I think Dutty knows what he's doing.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] nawfalah:
how long do you guys rekon it will be before dutty releases a rom?

not being cheeky or anything, just trying to work out if i should flash back to regular o2 rom or wait .
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
cmon guys ... even if you spend some money this guy doesnt own his soul to you.

looks like he usualy knows what he's doing so just leave him be and wait.

if i were him and reading alls those "do this and do" that stuff id probably don't even want to make custom ROMs anymore
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ninja.rogue:
I presume that most of the people writing here are not trying to ask Dutty to do something.

They are simply adding their experiences with their Xperias so that Dutty - who has managed to have one just very recently - can understand what are the possible problems that he can face while cooking.

Dutty is simply just too well known here for his style in cooking Roms, so I don't expect him to change his style.

I will quote literally what Loco5150 wrote some posts above.

When I thought about Dutty, I just was recalling his other roms and the joy of using them....

.... so I am not expecting anything different from what Itje wrote.

And as far as timing is concerned, please consider that Dutty is one of the fastest and also more prolific cookers here!

Nobody will push him to be quicker or to have this or that added.

To add something to a Rom is quite easy for the single user.

To cook a good, fast, solid rom, is not that easy even for a cook....

Go Dutty Go!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fuzzmo:
When I flashed my bro-in0laws Diamond to a Dutty ROM he loved it. I had to reflash the Diamond because it was a Beta ROM and had expired. He thought it might be an issue using an updated ROM (inspite of my best efforts in explaining to him why it had expired etc.). So we put another ROM on there. Although it works absolutely fine he really misses the Dutty ROM!!!!! :)

In my limited experience his ROM's are superb so I will just let the guy work his magic - I'm sure we won't be disappointed!!!

However I would just like to say a big thanks to people like Itje and Jack etc. who have their cooked ROMs out there - they have already done a lot of the hard work to make our X1's far more enjoyable than stock - am currently running Itje's Touch ROM 2.1 - a huge improvement over stock :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ctrl+A:
It's all relative really

Agreed. I can't speak about stock [phones as came in at a lower level - I managed to get a sim free, vodaphone branded, X1 cheaper than the stock phones and only went that way because of potential I saw from what was being said re the ROMS currently out there.

The datum, set by the ROM builders of this site, is already high, so if Dutty's ROM can improve on, for eg, Jack's stable and fast v1.04 lite ... viva la xperia!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] v1rone:
Just took a look around at some feedback left by different 'Dutty ROM' users for the Kaiser. I gotta say, I'm impressed :eek:

(Just like many members here) I'm totally looking forward to being one of those users and experiencing it all.

Very cool
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] romeo0119:
Any word from duty yet? Has anyone stay in touch with him?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jtoyz2:
Hey Dutty, how do you like the Xperia so far...Give us some feedback on how you like it and how it compares to the HD?
