For me its all about the journey.

The process of improvement and customisation is very satisfying. Its like the difference between givin a house which needs doing up to your tastes and your needs, which is Xperia, and someone giving you a brand new rented house,the same as everybody elses, but you cant change anything in it, apart from buying new stuff.

No 2 Xperias are the same, check out this thread to see the vast array of looks and UI avaliable for X1.

DIY-ing is very satisfying ! :)

Good thread this !

So R2AA010 works good huh? I'm waiting for a chef to cook up a new Rom base on this build, it's tempting for me to load it up with SESU but I dont want all the crap with it. Glad to see your X1 running good.
[XPERIA X1 General] freshmaker500:
man I could convince plenty of my friends by sending them this thread.

but I wanna stay the only one with a SEX1 (cool name by the way) in town :)

but just as mentioned in the first post, I really was dissapointed for the first 2 weeks.

this is my first winmo device, I had no clue what possibilities there are.

today I'm totally satisfied with it, and not longer jealous on iPhone users.

[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
It is working pretty well for me. The couple of issues I have seen are these.

XperiaTweak - did not work so hot for me with RA10.

-First, if I tried ever uning the "default" panel setting it would lock to the windows panel no matter which panel was selected in the program. And eventually would just lock up the machine all together.

-Second, when I tried the memory tweak the Xperia would actually slow down. And eventually it would revert itself back to stock memory settings.

second-Memory settings in general - Everything seems to work better at the stock settings. Maybe after the flash "breaks in" tweaking the memory via schaps advanced config will work better. Changing the glyph cache to anything besides 8 made no difference in the speed of movies or panels.

Also, for some reason setting the IE cache locations to the SD card causes IE to stop functioning. Opera still will at this time. I am not familiar enough to know if Windows doesn't clear out the history and cache when it is on the SD or not. So now I use the SD as default storage for pics and Xperia video only.

It takes twice as long to boot up as it did at RA8

Whether right or wrong, these are my observations so far.

Oops....forgot to say good things.

1. When opening up keyboard, landscape mode is instant. I mea it is complete by the time the keyboard open or closed.

2.Panel button still takes a good 5 seconds to deploy the panel navigation screen. BUT the screen are super fluid and the time it takes to completely implement a panel is 4 seconds flat from selection to fully functional with all my RSS feeds, weather, etc.

3. Menus are instant. All screens move much more fluid and programs start very quickly after selection now. EXCEPT for ANY program that changes settings such as Scheps Advanced Config or Xperia tweak. These types of programs seem to take almost twice as long to start up on my device as they did in RA8.

4. Phone Signal strength is very much better for me. I would lose signal in most areas of the hospital especialy Radiology (lead shielding) and anywhere in the Garden Cafeteria level (basement). But I have noticed today that I have had full strength everywhere and even half bars in Radiology with T-mo.

5. Over all system volume is better. Wired headphones is slightly louder, AD2P bluetooth is unchanged. But low volume movies are definitely louder and the Mp3 ringers are noticably louder too.

6. My wifi clicks on and off more often and doesn't seem to have a strong a lock as it did before. How ever internet speeds are a bit better when fully connected and my battery usage seems a bit better.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF THIS IS JUST WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING!!!! It seems each Xperia varies depending on how clean the rom loads or softwares loads were. Someone may break down the software and find out there are no changes and this is all in my head. But these are my results so far.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ashwm:
I'm glad for you :)

However, you should check the youtube again, My X1i kicks iPhone's behind in viewing any video, just the 800x480 vs 320x480 killed all my iPhone friends.;)
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
Well, in resoloution yes. Especially if you watch something like the NVIDIA HD demonstration video. BUT, I still have a bit of either lag or frame drop. I am not sure which is correct but they both equate to the Iphone still having smoother video both on youtube and on regular video.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Remember: when in 800x480, the device has to move FIVE TIMES MORE INFO (pixels per frame) than running the same video over a 320x240 device

800x480 = 384,000 pixels displayed per frame

320x240 = 76,800 pixels displayed per frame

To be fair, better compare a QVGA video on both devices, sans resizing
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
You are exactly right. BUT!!!! 95% of the people who are going to compare them have a friggin CLUE about what you just said. They are simply going to look at it and say "Its not as good as my iphone" because they see the jerkyness before they seen the better resoloution.....

Maybe I am wrong about this on the larger picture. But in the people who have compared my Xperia to the iphone, this has deffinitely been the case.
[XPERIA X1 General] Aaron J:
I think both of you are right, but at the same time thats not point of the youtube issue, for me at least. Mine isnt working smooth anymore. It used to, when I was using the stock rom. So something definitely changed in the firmware that is causing problems. The X1 is definetly capable of pushing those HD youtube vides at the full 800x480 res-I know becuase mine used to. Not anymore :(
[XPERIA X1 General] neo3424:
Welcome

A hearty welcome to the windows mobile community my friend.
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
I am very pleased you gave me the nudge to switch to the 10 ROM over the 08... it might be a list of little things but over all the experience is now much faster and smoother... well worth the change...
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
@shadowdh

WHOAAAA! I think you are right! I hard reset to revert back to stock RA10 rom. Even though glyph cache came up in advanced config as 8, when I used another program to to views "device settings and stats" .... glyph cache is set to 128. What?! Dangit, which one is correct? I am not sure how to look through the registry and find out the actual setting but that is next on my what-to-learn list.

Maybe a conflict of some sort was the factor slowing my configuration type programs down?

So now I am finding a good portion the xperia-video-stutter may be mostly to video conversion and finding the proper convertor. (I know some of it is a driver issue) Yes, I have used the video converter listed on here. And it IS easy to use, but dang it is finicky, for me at least, as to how well it converts from movie to movie.

I have downloaded the examples on the thread. But they have a tiny bit of drop too. If I view them on the laptop the video has the same fluidity as it does on my Xperia. Again, resolution looks GREAT and motion is almost there.....but I want it all!

Another Xperia owner and myself have been traded a couple of movies. His movies look a tad better. His suggestion is that I get a better video ripper. His is on Mac so he cannot share his with me.

Sidenote:

I also tried movies converted for my PSP through video vault for the sheer helluvit. They look pretty decent but the sound is ALWAYS off.
[XPERIA X1 General] superweijie:
Wow, I am really glad for you. With XDA-devs around you never have to fear any software problems/bugs/insufficiency.

With dedicated developers who don't ask for much other than thanks and occasional donations, you will be really fine and happy on the software front

God forbid the following, but wait until the paint on your device start peeling off, wait until your keys decolorizing, wait until scratches appear on your keyboard, wait until pieces of your keyboard fall off, wait until your d-pad start cracking, wait until your device crack without any agitation on your part AND wait until your keys GET UNRESPONSIVE(you get tactile response but no character appearing).

I am being a wet-blanket but fret not, the telecom/service centre will show you love by giving you free-repair/exchanges.
[XPERIA X1 General] theclueless:
another person jumped the iphone ship :D

i had iphone for a couple of months, it lags and lags and lags... and no multitask, and not too many free apps... it is just doesnt fit me

i used kaiser before, really like it, now to x1; after installing the custom rom, it is way faster and nicer than iphone
[XPERIA X1 General] prgrss:
I had no complains about the 08, it worked like a charm except the signal reception part. The old saying goes "if it works, don't upgrade it." Ok I didn't listen that one when I upgraded from my old SE P800 to X1. P800 still is a great phone, but 7 years old. krhm.. :D

Yesterday I spend my work day reading this thread and decided to upgrade from 08 to 10.

Before loading the new rom to the phone I made backups with a program called SPB Backup, using full backup. After the rom was loaded and the phone was upgraded, I found out that the phone was a bit slower in some parts. When I open the slider, it is much slower to change the view, panels load much slower and the menus are pretty tacky.. when I open the program menu it loads the icons reeeeeaaalllyy slowwy, that task was fast before.

Is there some memory issue or some tweak in 10 that needs to be different from 08? Or changes to tweaks?

Is there something I did wrong? :D Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X1 General] Sfkn2:
^ Did you do a hard reset after you updated the ROM? Mine works fine (and much smoother) after I updated it last night.
[XPERIA X1 General] prgrss:
No, I did not. Never even thought that it would be necessary.
[XPERIA X1 General] laurence0609:
If you have made a full backup using SPB Backup, then re-install it after upgrading to the new ROM, then it might be that the other system data from your backup causes this problem. Your backup was from ROM 08 and you have upgraded to 10 then probably re-install everything using your fullback...there goes your problem.
[XPERIA X1 General] prgrss:
Thanks.

I made a hard reset on the phone. And tested the phone on a clean setup, it wasn't faster than the setup I had before hard reset with the 10 and full restore. Well anyway, I restored the PIM etc info and will re-install all the software by hand. I'm not sure does it make any change to my case. Oh well.. atleast the signal strength is ok. ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
FYI, the memory tweaks from the old RA8 actually slowed my RA10 down if I applied the settings in the first two days. I am giving them a try again today now that the rom and cache have had a chance to settle in.

I guess opening up the memory on a new rom isn't such a good thing sometimes.

But my RA10 has had the same amount of improvement over RA08 for me as RA08 had over its Predecessor.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
Glad you've found you like it.

This is now my 4th winmo device, and in comparison to the earlier ones it truly flies.. those who complain usually do so because they don't understand what's happening. As you've proved the more you know the happier you're likely to be.

don't forget if you really want to boast :cough

this isn't a phone, it's a pocketpc, that fits inside my pocket, that just so happens to do phone calls!

iphone says it all really in the name.

Iphone, dunno what else to du wiv it. durrr. :D

I've said before, and it'd need a bit more lowlevel poking to work out what exactly is going on, but I think that the R2 roms are using a different memory model, certainly the caching is much much more efficient. I also agree that letting winmo handle the cache on this one seems to be the best (of course you can also go past 8mb if you want to try editing the reg)..

Glyphe cache shouldn't have any effect on vid playback, unless you're doing something strange with the fonts, as that's what it effects..

[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
you know, not only you should just get a netbook (per the thread in PPCSG), I think you should also stop buying new gadgets since you can't stand wear and tear.
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
I haven't had a phone make it more than year yet. The balckberry 8800 I had before my iPhone was beat to hell. The paint was missing from half the keys, the trackball was brownish grey instead of pearl(yes i cleaned it often), and the retaining ring was jb welded in since it had completely broken off. My point is I dont baby phones. I use and just flat handle them too much to baby them. The iPhone was ready for battle since it had a vaja case and screen protector from the moment it left its box. But Vaja cases aren't available for the Xperia and I havent found a decent case yet for the experia yet. To bad I only had the iPhone for a few weeks.

It seems to be holding up like a champ.

Maybe they only crack if you are too careful with them......ha!
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
hey guys..i have also done most of the tweaks mentioned above ..except try a new ROM..its still the OEM ROM.

do u think its worth it?

and wanna know if i use the ROM mentioned above..will it void my warranty?
[XPERIA X1 General] theredundant:
i think warranty will be voided. mainly because you have to hard-spl your phone before flashing a custom rom... but all that can be reversed so that warranty is still valid. please correct me if i'm wrong guys...
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
Upgrading to the R2a roms wont void the warranty, especially if you use SEUS

It'll just find the relevant one for your device (if it's operator branded then there may not be an upgrade).

However if you do need to hardspl to get one of the other roms it will void your warranty.

looking to buy a stereo bt headset/mic .

this site has some pretty good pricing, but too many choices....:P

http://www.onlyg1.com/bluetooth.html

scroll to middle of page.

just wondering which is going to give some bang for the buck. not looking to integrate into my car audio cz my hummer stereo doesnt offer bt anyway. just looking for a nice, comfortable headset for the gym and while at work with good battery life, great sound and mic. appearance not important, but i do prefer the wrap around the back style

all this is dependent, of course, on the a2dp rolling out. any1 have this update isolated? nyway, be nice to only lug around the g1 instead of g1 + lappy + ipod + all associated cabling and power cords. g1 has almost completely replaced lappy already and ive only had it a cpl of days!

also, i see conflicting info on g1 specs. some say bt v1.0 and other say v 2.0 and still other sites say that firmware upgrade is needed to support bt 2.0.

i dont care what i have to do, but my goal is not only to enjoy streaming music via orb and my home server but also streams from wolfgangs vault with a sound i can deal with. rite now its too sloppy and retarded that it plays thru speaker instead of my current bt headset. found this out the hard way while utubing at work. oops, my bad boss :D
[G1 Accessories] atoy74:
Prices are not good. The one headset I can recommend wholeheartedly is the Motorola S9. They are fantastic for sports and/or working out.

Here's the thing. The S9's on the site are the old model and they're charging $70 not including shipping. The new ones are the S9-HD's. They have builtin SRS WOW technology and the sound quality is excellent. Best Buy has them for $99 in the store.

If you want the S9s cheap then Ebay is the way. If it was me, I'd be all over the S9-HDs.
[G1 Accessories] ale79673:
just wondering, anytime the A2DP will be up?

i was just going to get a stereo BT headset until i read this forum about it not having A2DP..

*sigh
[G1 Accessories] beartard:
S9s are sweet, but only if you have a tiny head. They're not adjustable. And eBay is definitely the way to go...as long as you're cautious. There are lots of Chinese knock-off S9 headsets.
[G1 Accessories] poorboy168:
I'm also anxiously awaiting A2DP for the G1. Right now using the 3.5mm adapter which is not bad for being able to answer phone calls while listening to music during my commute.

These look more interesting:

being able to use my own headphones would be the biggest selling point.
[G1 Accessories] hellbringer626:
my s9s have been hanging off my lcd monitor since I got my G1 =/ I want a2dp now! >.<

Anyways before I was using a Nokia 5300 Xpressmusic and then later a SE k800i the quality was great! a little bit better with the nokia but a good set of bluetooth headphones and lightweight

I know its on the roadmap but they are sure taking their time to implement it in the official build of the G1

thanks for the replies. looks like the s9-hd is the headset of choice. ill have to buy them in person tho, cz the comment about big heads [like mine :)_] concerns me.

I decided that I didnt like the icons in the homescreen ++ tray bar...

so I decided to make ones for phone, BT and WIFI...

If anyone likes it and uses homescreen++ and tray feel free to have it :)

This is my first contribution...it is not that big, just thought I might share :)

To install just overwrite (backup previous if needed) the files in the "program files\homesscreen++\default" folder and reload tray...

more icons will maybe come in the future...depends on my needs :)

If you want to connect your phone to your PC, your PC needs to have MS Active Sync 4.5 installed on it so it can recognized your phone. if it shows USB V2.06 then you can go on flashing your ROM to the latest one.

To be brutally honest? Crap.

But it does the job. (Depending on your reasons for taking the photo with a camera phone I guess)

I haven't tested it in low-light conditions yet. It's a fixed-focus f/2.8 camera, so in theory the shutter speeds should be alright for low-light photos.

Edit: I've attached a photo of the box under my desk.
[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
