[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] daniao:
Dear HTC-unlock team,

I just bought your HTC Diamond unlock software and have a question that would like to clarify with you. I have the HTC Diamond locked by Telefonica Movistar in Spain.

The question is about the first of the three steps of your software, Flashing a new ROM. The ROM version currently installed in my device is 1.93.621.1 and the software would flash version 1.40.OliNex. My question is would I be upgrading to an earlier version ? Should I do that, or should I skip this step ?

Thanks!

hello

first, I use skype on my hermes 200 adsl connection via a USB or EDGE connection in both cases I had not heard the voice of my interloccuteurs (voice cuts) while they are listening

will become of the weakness of my connection or there a reason?

also, I install skype mobile beta lite (for symbian s60 v.2) on a Nokia N72 to communicate with my hermes 200 but I have not the icon of the call, and in the category of aid on I said that "the call will be possible after the upgrade skype when it will be available in your country"

could I have the icon of the call before skype lite mobile beta is available in my country knowing that they have not yet?

else, the audio chat it was possible between two windows mobile user?

Finally, set apart the MIDs (see here) http://www.intel.com/products/mid/devices.htm , are there other mobile devices capable of video chat skype? if not, they are the other software can do without 3G or wifi, personally I know 5: vochat, octro, tivi, imichat (under symbian), and microsoft portrait

and another that I could not operate: tabletmedia, of whether someone else could get it to tell me how?

Did you manage to get Skype working ok without it crashing out? The last time I tried Sykpe, I had to use Skype v2.2.020 - all the versions after that just crash and quit when I tried to use them to make calls etc.

The problem with the Hermes is that Skype almost completely maxes out the phone's CPU - you are going to struggle to have a decent conversation over Skype even using your ADSL connection. :(

So, I've just installed SK Tools on my X1 and was wondering the following:

What are your thoughts and feelings about using SK Tools with this phone?

Are there any "must-have" tweaks/apps that you use within SK Tools?

So far, I've just deleted cache files and such, because I've read that some people had troubles with it deleting important registry files. Is that true?

Mostly, I'm looking for some tips/tricks for "Tune Up!", but any tips/tricks are welcome :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Tylwith:
i truied a registry cleaning and it clean too much

some panel just disapeared after the cleaning
[XPERIA X1 General] ninja.rogue:
Same is true for me.

It deleted the registry entries for SE panels.

I haven't made any further use of it.
[XPERIA X1 General] dineshh:
SK Tools

Hi

I use version 2.3.24

It has free up RAM addin/ separate program. Whic I feel is so far the best program to free up RAM stuck in closed programs.

The same program in latter versions of SK Tools is not upto the mark

i'm experiencing the loud incoming sms tone whilst im in a call and i couldn't listen to the other side talking. can anyone help me on this?
[XPERIA X1 General] zoelucker:
Yes its annoying when you're on the phone to your dentist and all of a sudden the tone 'Walllll-eeee' speaks over the top of you...not to mention sounds weird. And then you have to ask her to repeat. Quite embarrassing. I'd definately like a solution for this!
[XPERIA X1 General] theoverseer:
Slightly off topic, but could you post that tone? Cheers

Yes haha! Got it from here: http://www.zedge.net/ringtones/556293/wall-e-ringtone/
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
im going to be in australia for the next few months, and im looking into what phone im going to use there.

Its tough, because ive grown attached to having all the toys on my verizon xv6800, and dont want to go back to a standard phone.

Is it at all possible to get my titan to work on an Australian network? if not, can anyone point me in the direction of some information about other international phone options?

if anyone on here is from australia please let me know, i'd love to get in touch and get whatever information i can about plans and other info.

im open to any suggestions or other options for what i can do about a useful phone in australia.

Thanks alot
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] abuttino:
Entirely different radio and chip structures
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cycomachead:
well, you can always use your xv6800 just not to make calls. WiFi and GPS would work, you'd have no cell signal.

So, I suggest carrying 2 devices or searching online or picking up a GSM HTC smart phone. The Tilt/Kaiser Raphael (Touch Pro GSM) and the Blackstone / Touch HD and so many more cooler new devices will work in Australlia. However, some of those things are costly and you could natively use an older HTC phone.

You could buy an unlocked phone and just put a sim in there when you arrive.

The 2 main questions are what do you want to spend on a phone and will you rely on a data connection other than wifi?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kdj67f:
I thought there was native CDMA coverage in australia? Or is it only new zealand? I would agree an ebayed tilt unlocked and a prepaid sim would probably be the best route.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
Huh? Are these newly released roms? Because I have an older rom than the one in your list (generic_se), but SE update tool doesn't show any new updates.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
Thanks, but.. Where did you get these? Because, like I said, I have an older rom but the update tool doesnt show anything new :S
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cHarOn99:

i guess now i would have to wait for SE to release the generic one for the UK
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Golgo:
Wow, great Pavel!

Is there any way of knowing what has actually been updated in these new roms? Is there a changelog or something like that?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] 00000001:
Thanks,

Just wanna ask whether X1i_GENERIC_TW_CDF1216-5863_R2AA007 is identical to HK ROM? If thatz not the case, would you please upload a HK rom?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] comeradealexi:
so there has been an official update????

cause i have x1i vodafone uk
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] msalmank:
AWESOME~!!!

Anyone know what the changes are?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] doministry:
But as posted above - proceed anyway and you'll be upgraded.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jcsxda:
Silencing the Camera (shutter sound)

Amongst the changes noted in earlier posts are some to the Camera...

I can't see how to make the shutter sound silent!:mad::confused:

I'm pretty sure I had it set to silent before the update ...and I don't recall doing this via a Tweak or AdvancedConfig prog -am pretty sure it was a standard option within the Camera application itself

On the updated ROM I can find the four shutter sound options, but no option for "silent" any more ...can anyone help??:confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] maedox:
Set your phone to silent I guess.

Did anyone try SEUS with UK generic and get R2? I'm psyched. :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] doministry:
AFAIK there's no upgrade for UK_Generic,

I wait too.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Darth Sith:
For silent shutter sound simpli silent your phone.

However remember that in many countries there a law that deny the silent cam for privacy.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jcsxda:
Actually -just found the following by tweaking a post from apprentice

I just renamed (instead of deleting) the below file using totalcommander (so I can always undo the change later):-

File "sounds.blob" found in:

\Program Files\XperiaCamera\Resources

Rename it to something like "original_sounds.blob"

Works perfectly for me (no beep for auto-focus either) ... :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mkouk:
I am sorry but i cannot wait! i will install the VF version and see how good the new ROM is until they release the generic one for the UK :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xperian:
Only German... Swiss German would be cool though :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] xperian:
Set HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\Camera\PROPERT_PHOTO_SHUTTER_SOUND to value 4.

Disables the shutter sound.

ROM Upgrade for South Africa

Hi guys,

Great stuff!!! I'm in South Africa - any ideas which ROM i should download?

Any help/ suggestion would be appreciated.

Many thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mkouk:
i installed it to see if the VF Live branding will annoy me...guess what...it did! I am flashing it back to the Generic UK version until the R2 comes out. I just cannot stand any operator branding on my phone. :mad:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] skycamefalling:
Hey, you are right -I really can't believe it.

I have a Mobilcom branded AT-Phone and now I'm currently flashing it with the generic AT ROM. Hope everything works when it's finished.

EDIT:

Hell yeah, it works fine. Finally I got rid of all the Mobilcom-trash (although I must say that they did not mess up the phone as bad as other operators do!)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PC Master:

The lack of the "No Shutter Sound" option linked to this?

Guys I need your advice, I have O2-UK branded phone is there any updates for me ?

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mkouk:
I am afraid not yet...there are no UK R2 ROM releases yet the X1 apart from the Vodafone branded one.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] msalmank:
If you are using O2 then wait for the O2 updated ROM... otherwise if you are using the device on some other network, then flash the Vodafone updated ROM onto it - you could still do it if you are using O2, that is if you don't mind it pointing to vodafone this and that instead of O2.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rakec00:
just flashed to vodafone r2 rom,and i must say it is preety big different between generic uk r1 and vodafone uk r2. it is faster,smothere,very quick in change from landscape to portrait,and it is very big, 215mb.huge:)

and yes,there is new panel,from spb.preety usefull thought.

Well, being a complete newbie I came across the same problem you did, but after thinking long and hard I realised I had just renamed the .rar-file... I had been in such a hurry I completely forgot to unpack the file. :o

After unpacking, and then renaming the file to Kovsimg.nbh the update ran just fine.

Hello Guys, I live in Bolivia (Latin America) and I have the X1i with the GENERIC_UK ROM with the version R15A, I tried to made the actualization by the SEUS, but the program show me that the Phone is using the last version (that is not true).

I'll like to know something’s;

1) I can use another ROM version of the phone (R2) preferred in Spanish (I can see anything in Spanish in the Rom that you upload)?

2) I have to use SEUS to make the actualization?

3) If I cannot use SEUS, I made the actualization using the standard software to flash the ROM?

Thanks a lot for you help and your comments will be very helpfully for me.

Best Regards

what's the difference between the generic uk r1 and the generic nam r2? does anyone know?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rakec00:
you can flash any rom,original,to your x1.it is true,because generic_uk r2 is not available yet.only vodafone UK it is r2.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mkouk:
I think the North American ROM is for the X1a and the Generic UK is for X1i
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Tylwith:
i have a generic uk will try the vodaphone one
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SE_X1i:
I believe so too. However I just flashed my Generic UK X1i with NAM X1a and it works great. No loss of functionality (that I know of - dont' care about video call...). Much mroe responsive and some nice bug fixes. For instance JAVA is a lot more stable.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Darth Sith:
Anyone can try to test the performance of R2A rom with SPB Benchmark? http://beta.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/benchmark/

Is a good test. I have the result of R1A ready!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] spielnicht:
Figures the Generic UK is not available yet, that sucks.

I hate branding, so it's easy to resist the Vodafone rom, and I'm not installing the NAM since video recording is weak compared to UK.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] comeradealexi:
when are the updates going to be officially released?

because nothing is new on the X1 website except a new google search number.

i have a VODAFONE UK x1 so what should i be doing?

or are they going to be released later on their website?

thanks all - just a bit confuzzled
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sfreirez:
If I use the Vodafon UK ... I'll have any trouble ... for example maybe the band of my gsm operator is locked .... or it's works like any other rom?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Golgo:
To all you highly appreciated ROM cookers:

Anyone working on a light, optimized ROM with these new R2 roms as base?

I'm kinda tempted to throw in the latest SE rom but I'm not to keen on ~100mb of bloat :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sfreirez:
I think there's an actualization for your rom, the guys here upload that ... you can use SEUS for actualization too .... www.sonyericsson.com .... goes to http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice/x1?lc=en&cc=gb and download the application ...

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lusephur:
just my two cents worth, i have a vodafone uk x1i

i live in ireland and i received the phone unlocked (still unsure of the unlocking process) but i updated via the sony ericsson update service app, it told me i was up to date, but i still ran the update.

and when finished i had the r2 rom according to the device information-- customer info details

and my o2 sim for ireland (which is where i am) still works fine

i can't promise it will work for others with locked phones though -- as i'm unsure of the unlocking process, but i've been informed that if it fails a reversion back to the original r1 rom will solve the issue.

i hope that's of some help to those out there unsure.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mobilemodman:
@ Golgo - I'm counting on that too, I've been waiting for a ROM to flash my X1 with but so far none of them look too promising [in terms of bugs and stability goes], i mean there are some awesome ones out there, but most of the good ones have TF3D or Manilla included . . . which is a fancy memory eating version of homescreen plugins.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
SEUS anyone?

When I use SEUS with my generic UK it does NOT give the option to flash anyway!

So the people that could flash even without being an update available, where those Generic ones?

I know when I connect my P990i it gives the option to flash anyways but not with the X1 now.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] :
Doesnt give me the option to flash anyway either.

WC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
SEUS checks the EMEA database and your device.

SEUS finds: a) Your current ROM is UK R1 b) EMEA latest UK ROM is R1...

Obviously there's still no "UK R2 ROM", thus, it will not give you the "flash anyway?" option

Want to confirm this ??

Flash the NAM R1 ROM an connect to SEUS

You will get the "flash anyway?" option because SEUS will find NAM R2 ROM on th EMEA database.

I didi it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] comeradealexi:
personally im not installing anything until i get told exactly whats changed and such
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] michaelthemage:
Might be in your case or in the case of X1 but not in case of SEUS or P990 in general.

When I get the option with P990, there is for sure NO new firmware available.

The continue anyway is to REflash. And that does not require a new firmware availability. If there is a new firmware, then you canNOT reflash, it will upgrade,no matter what.

Hi. Will anybody tell me is the new rom mean new software? or is it something else?

How to install rom to xperia? do i have to use any program?

My phone was bought in england (vodafone) but is sim free, so i using at the moment in ireland (o2) and i have fwe settings from vodafone (media messaging) can i install o2 rom if i have vodafone rom? and whitch rom is better. i see 02 roms X1i_O2_DE_CDF1215-1634_R1AA019 - uploaded, X1i_O2_UK_CDF1215-3293_R1AA020 - uploaded, those are r1aa, and vodafone

X1i_VFE_UK_CDF1215-0285_R2AA007 - uploaded , this is r2aa. Whats the differend between r1aa and r2aa?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] darkhalf520:
will installing the vodafone uk rom limit my ability to use other service providers.....is it easily reversible or will it cause a sim lock ??

to install this rom do i need to HSPL or i just go on and install it ??

Stuck this thread!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scar45:
Do we even have confirmation as to whether or not the Bluetooth bug has been fixed? With no UK Generic R2 ROM yet, and no definite list of changes, I am planning on keeping my stock ROM for now. I've spent too much time customizing it, and even wrote an MSCR to fix the Bluetooth auto-off problem.

Another question, I've owned an HTC Universal and flashed it a couple of times, but always ended up reinstalling and reconfiguring everything from scratch as opposed to restoring a backup file. I have too much time invested in this Xperia to do the same, so when/if I upgrade, would a program like Sprite Backup restore all of my data, notifications, registry settings seamlessly into the new ROM? I know it's a noob question, but I have no bawls to test it out and end up with a dirty config after a restore.

All in all, it's great to see an official ROM update this quickly, but a change log would have been nice :|
