LOL!

Check your answer, i dont need that answers..

Maybe i'm not the only one who likes this game.. Maybe more are interested ;)

IPHONE:O HELL NO! I like my THD Way more than the iphone :D

Are there people who know if there is a cind of game like this for our Phone ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wallah:
Iphone rag! Iphone stinks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jeromex:
you have to be thankful the iPhone exists. Thanks to Apple, now developpers in other firms (mostly HTC) kicked their arse off to keep up with the competition Apple put up.

In the end we get better devices than iPhone. But if Apple hadn't done anything you would still have a lame device
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Psygnosis84:
WOW, what a truly useless program.

The funny thing is that, most of the App Store games are like this.

Apples philosophy = quantity over quality
[G1 Android Development] brixvibe:
So I've rooted and SD apped my G1, and have been loving every bit of it. I do have one question though about speed.

This is not really related to rooting or SD apping my phone it's more along the lines of the speed of "Home"

I often find that the more apps i move to my home screen (or your fav home app 'open home' 'ahome' etc), that going to the home app takes a long time to load.

When I only have a few icons then it's faster generally speaking. But I have about 7 folders with maybe 7-10 apps in them on avg, to keep my screen organized, but it seems that I will never get around how slow it is due to the amount of icons i have in the folders on the screen.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the home screen any faster while keeping my apps organized?

I was thinking along the lines of maybe a Labeling App that lets you categorize your apps...sort of like how the Market lets you search for them. Maybe this way...a reference to a label could at runtime go and pull up the apps you've labeled as such...as opposed to having physical app links in a physical folder...thus forcing the home screen to load all of your organized apps (that you're not even using at the moment)...slowing it down.

Tips & tricks welcome!

[G1 Android Development] emms007:
Could you provide some kind of testimony about this app?

Is there any side effect of that mod what are the concret and noticable benefits?

I have the default 2GB scandisk card in my phone, is it fast enough to do SWAP? I have no clue how crappy or neat is that card in terms of speed.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] brixvibe:
friggin sweet! worx awesome!
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
man this app wont destroy your card

it'll create a file named swap on you /system/sd/

and boost you little phone it's free feel free to test

if you don"t like it disable it and restart your phone .

that's all ! :)
[G1 Android Development] downloadsking:
nice site thanks
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
It WILL shorten your SD Card's lifetime significantly!

There is a limited number of reads/writes before the SD card begins to corrupt.
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
well well well

http://communities.sandisk.com/sandisk/board/message?board.id=memorycards&thread.id=614

directly from sandisk's forum ... so please stop talking nonsense ...
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
That might be for normal usage.

Using the disk as a swap drive IS NOT NORMAL USAGE!

And it still doesn't change the fact that there's a limit to how many times you can read and write to a flash memory chip.

I read an article about a TV company who were trying out SSDs (based on flash memory, the same tech) as a fast way of providing on-demand TV over the internet.

The drives lasted about 3 days... and that's professional drives..

I'm not saying you will burn out your card in 3 days... but you will decrease it's lifespan from maybe 2 years to 1 year or maybe 6 months.
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:
Does it really matter micro sd cards are so cheap I got an 8GB class 6 card off newegg for $15 w/ free shipping. Just make sure you back your crap up every so often. Which you should do anyways.
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
Not really, except that - as you say - you should be aware of it, so that you're not suddenly left with data loss and a semi-bricked phone ;-)
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
Don't worry sandisk microSDHC have something like 10years life span and believe me you would change card before the swap "kill it".:D
[G1 Android Development] brixvibe:
After using Swapper for a few days i uninstalled it. So it's not really resolved my issue. it seems to lockup the whole phone when not in use for a few hours or so. nothing responds, and I have to pull the battery to get it to turn off. nice concept...and when it was working, it worked well. just not sure why it freezes the phone after phone inactivity.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BioVolt:
Hi all,

So i have made these video tutorials / guides on how to do some of the things which people are scared to do, and to show just how easy it all is, so that maybe some more people will take the leap and have more fun with their X1.

These guides were made awhile ago and have been available on www.xperiax1.net forums where I am much more active and am always trying to help people where possible.

So use them, dont use them, thats up to you...

Great Job! Just watched no.4 & 5, very clear (My only slight crtiscism is that they are overly long you could chop some file transfer sections out)

Keep up the good work
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
Great initiative there mate :)

I agree with THJahar, that you could possibly cut the videos a little shorter, but overall a great job :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] smaberg:

PS: I'll ask ITJE to make this sticky!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] methodz:
i am a new user and havent watched the videos yet, but if they are what i think they are then this should answer a lot of questions for people and limit redundant posts throughout the threads.

why dont you youtube them and just link us vs download method? maybe someone will do that. great job, thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Dadaism:
nice work.

but new users should still read the forums if they dont know what a rom or hardspl is.

How about uploading it on youtube? so that we can watch it on our beloved Xperia?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BioVolt:
If anybody is willing to try and upload them to youtube they can give it a try, unfortunately I attempted to do so, but as some of you have mentioned they are quite lengthy and it was not accepted on youtube :(

Also I wanted to keep the quality of the videos intact so that's why i provided the original videos I created.

Thanks for all the great response :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ganondolf:
if i install a custom rom will my spb backup work the same as it would restoring it to a new offical rom (r1 to r2 with a forced rom upgrade)?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Xkan:
Great videos! Now I have a backup of my R2A and that's really great.

Thank you very much :)

If I would flash a custom ROM and flash back my backup, would there all programs be included, and is is unproblematic that I've put the UK ROM in the kitchen together with my German ROM files from my X1?

OK I checked my backup and it seems to work, but only the default data is backuped, not my custom programs... and it was German if I remeber correctly...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aemerx:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] soom:
It is, by far, one of the best tutorials i ve seen. One of the most helpfull links and threads i ve read in xda...

Thanks biovolt! Really helpfull for me as well! :D:eek::rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jhendra:

hey thanks for this nice video tut.

but for warranty reasons do i need the original rom ? i dont know which rom it was when i bought my x1

i got it from a normal shop in germany without any brandings (vodafone,t-mobile,o2)

which rom do i need ?

and if somebody could give me a link for the stock rom, would be very cool..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] b4ttl3m4st3r:
really nice videos, thx for them ;)

But im not going fine with the Installation of the Hard_SPL.

Connecting my cellphone to the PC and connecting the ActiveSync works fine.

When i start the Update-Tool its verifying the information on my cellphone first. Works fine too.

But after this, when its trying to update the ROM it's restarting my cellphone with this colored screen. I hear a USB-Device-Plugged-Out-Sound and get an error within the Update-Tool, that the connection to the cellphone got lost.

My cellphone just keep at this colorfull screen and shows a text at the bottom: 'USB'.

Any clue what to do ? :confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] b4ttl3m4st3r:
Got it to work.

Dunno what was the reason but i tried things like using other usb-port, doing hard-reset on my phone, restarting active sync....etc.

Thx again for these Tutorials ^^
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Nguyen360:
I have this problem, but have not been able to get it to work... been trying for the past 12 hours -.- (my eyes are bleeding lol)

what other precautions or possible fixes are there?

I have Hard resetted, Reloaded active sync, restarted my laptop, tried other ports, turned off that advanced function. Is there anything else?

Edit: I got it to Work, I dont know if it was because of switching to a new USB port, or installing the MFG version of SPL first.

Note: While installing the MFG version, Xperia displayed discolouring, i ignored this and continued to install the HARDSPL

Hope this will help anyone.

Hey, im a new user, and i watched your video guide of installing a custom rom.

and i followed it very carfully. however, once i got to the part where i pasted the nbh file from my pc to my storage card. removed the usb cable. turned off my phone and then got to the tri color bootloader screen it says " no image file found" can someone help me please?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ethanalai:
ok so i got past the last problem. but this time when i try to do a hard reset like you showed in your video by pressing down the 2 silver buttons and the power button. its didnt work. it just booted up and the screen showed this msg "please wait while your device is being set up. This should take no longer than a couple minutes" it didnt have the msg you recited on your video. should i be concerned?

Backup Radio Rom

Hi everyone,

what great video tutorials.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Btw, i couldn't find anywhere how to backup Radio ROM.

I want to flash my Radio but before do it, i want to backup it first

just in case if the new one is not better than the current one, i can rollback to my current radio.

Would you please tell me how, or give any useful link?

Thanks.

I tried to Install The Stock Rom on my x1 but I didn't have a backup.

When I downloaded the Rom that I needed for my phone it came as *.image (APP_SW_X1a_GENERIC_NAM_CDF1219-1224_KOV_R3AA011.image)

and NOT!!!! a *.nbh

what can I do?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] MrJack1987:
just rename it to the desired name you will be fine.

Just wanted to thank you for the tutorials. The ones I tried were excellent and helped me send my phone for warranty repair.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Djd10:
Thanks BioVolt

I'm just leaving this message to say GREATLY APPRECIATED "BioVolt", tutorials #2 & 3# helped me sim unlock my phone, even though I had most of the steps already done, helped me find the "custom rom" I was previously trying to download. Instructions are REALLY BASIC for the REAL "NEWBIES", so if you still struggle I don't tink Windows Mobile devices are for you. Either way, GREATLY APPRECIATED.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] milan.popovc:
Hi BioVolt

I have a problem. So I installed stock spl and originalx1 ROM. It went through but when booted, it is hanging with Sony logo. I tried to install another ROM from SDA because I can not synchronized x1 :( It appears that I am not able to install anything else because when I got that famous three lines it start loading image but it is also sucked there :-( So, how can I solve it for example, installing OliNex spl without bringing my x1 to service shop?

Tnx for the answer

Milan
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
First, if you want to revert back to stock ROM and stock SPL ALWAYS flash stock ROM first and then revert back to stock SPL!!!!

What other ROM did you try to flash? (stock, cooked) And do you have hard SPL or stock SPL on your phone?

Did you try to flash with sd-card or with your pc?

Hi.

I've just followed all the steps (backup rom, install spl) and now I'm trying to install a custom rom but in the video it shows how to install only if you have a micro sd card (I don't have one right now).

My question is: how can I install the custom rom using my pc?

What files do I need?

Thanks !

Hello,

I want to use a batch file to copy a file to the mobile device in windows explorer. When I look in windows explorer (windows XP), and the phone is connected to the computer, it shows Mobile device in the tree. Can I use a basth file with the copy command to copy a file to the mobile device?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] estebald:
As you know, Samsung has released a SDK for mobile phones (search Samsung Mobile Innovator on your prefered search engine).

I wrote a VB.Net class using this SDK.

I find Samsung API it is better than HTCEmu because each position goes from -1 to 1, and does not need any specific DLL.

Just have a look and tell me what you think about it.

Public Properties :

- X, Y and Z : coordinates of the vector (it was easier for my need than the vector itself => i should add a vector property)

- EventEnable : if you set it to true, an event "Refresh" will be sent every 200ms

PS : first line "Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices" is useless but I forgot to delete it.
