[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
I'm on a mission! These are the things that I want to change on my x1. If you know of a way to fix any of these then please please please let me know how.

Here they are in no particular order

1) Auto Que text messages

By this I mean.... if I try to send a text message with no signal I get a big nasty red message saying something along the lines of Message Was Not Sent. Try again? and a loud annoying beep to follow

What I want...... Is to be able to hit send, jam the phone back in my pocket and get back to what I was doing. Happy in the knowledge that if I didn't have signal when I sent the message, it will automatically re-send as soon as I walk into signal.

2) Find a free way of making video calls (I can only get skype to make voice calls)

3) Skin the text messages or find a text message panel to make it easier to use and less ugly

4) Add a storage card shortcut to my start menu

5) Stretch the landscape pin entry to full screen

6) Get the OK button to actually cancel and close things

PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I can hit the x button then select "close" or "close all"

7) Stretch the landscape keyboard to the full length of the screen

PROBLEM SOLVED With Finger Keyboard 2 the keyboard is stretched across the full length of the landscape screen. Plus I no longer have to sharpen my thumb nail to a point to be able to send a text message

8) Totally Remove today screen lines (not just change the color)

9) Play Game Boy Advance Roms in full screen landscape mode

10) Remove "today" and recent programs icons from the start menu.

11) Stretch the top right cross button

I have installed gtrabs SEX1 "F" series Task bar icons and I love them. id also like to stretch the x at the top right of my screen to twice its width. To make it easier to press.

PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I have skinned the x button its not allot bigger but it dose make it easier to press.

12) Make it easier to change tracks whilst driving

I have a sat nav style phone holder that sticks my x1 to my car windscreen in landscape mode, with the buttons out. I connect my x1 to my car stereo and pump out the tunes via my car speakers. But with the media experience panel its so hard to change tracks without looking, the button is so small its dangerous

PROBLEM SOLVED The driving panel is more than what I was looking for it has mph, track shuffle, sat nav button, and perfectly sized volume, track skip, and pause buttons, Xuanlong got it to me 10 days before it was released!

13) Stop the experience panel changing color I want it to stay ocean blue

Where did you get the on the road panel from??
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
(Pre Release) On The Road Panel

(Pobierz = Download) right click, save target as. some people have problems downloading I managed to get it to work on Internet Explore. Other new panels here but are reported to be a bit buggy.
[XPERIA X1 General] samba4u:
On the Road Panel looks great, but the navigation button/config does not work

Where can I get my TT maped to the button?
[XPERIA X1 General] mikebem:
now, that's just lame... this problem fixed by someone @ sonyericssonx1.proboards.com... it sort of sounds like:

'the xda community has once again proven to be unfriendly and unhelpful but thanks god someone at proboards helped me out there, so why don't you guys and gals all come along and let's help ourselves by posting links to stuff that's on xda'

come on dude, you could have just read through topics on this forum to see what's out there that might be useful or used the search option, most of the issues you had and wanted resolved were quick hits
[XPERIA X1 General] Sera_6969:
To make the reply box larger in messaging you can use Total Commander to search for and edit the file thread_sms.htm in the windows directory. It's a hidden file so make sure you have 'show all files' checked when you search for it

Look for this line:

<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell focus count .. .. ..

Change height (in this case 35) to 70 and you get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you and soft reset after editing the file...

Still an ugly interface but much easier to use. Mine is set at 140.
[XPERIA X1 General] jhoffa:
Sorry, but I had to post this. I saw the other shameless plug for your site on another thread as well and didn't bother to comment. I hate people who say "this looks like an ad" and "you should use search"... but this looks like an ad and you should use search.

I personally don't really care if you want to share your website with others, my only issue is that you should give credit where credit is due.

Might want to change your post to read "problem solved thanks to X @sonyericssonx1.proboards.com WITH solutions that could have easily been solved by using the search function from XDA developers" since most of those tools came from here anyway (apart from the driving panel. wktask is a japanese program, but it was adapted into english on these boards).

But to be honest, if you cant use the search function here, it's probably best to post elsewhere anyways.

PS most of your other points can be found here as well. Just use search.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Classic QFT.

Like I said before, I have no problem with you and your board, but don't rub it in our faces every chance you get.

Again, most of these questions can be answered fairly easily using XDA search.

As I imagine it can be hard to do the storage card shortcut, I'll give you a hint on it. On your phone, navigate to \windows\start menu. There you'll find a whole lot of shortcuts. Copy and rename the extension one of them to .txt and open it. You'll see a nice and comprehensable path there. Adjust it, save and rename back to .lnk. You're all set!
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
For the shortcut problem (storage card): why don't you try the easiest way "copy"->"paste as shortcut" in File Explorer. That's the most standard way to create shortcut.
[XPERIA X1 General] AxE-mAn:
Damn you dudes are harsh. He has an awesome site. It's like XDA-dedicated to the X1. Give him a break?? He doesn't get paid for anything, and spends alot of time on that site; only to contribute to the X1 family.

And the comments of ...@sonyericssonx1.proboards.com, come on?? No one here knows who some1 is if he just like posts 'xuanlong' or so, but he refers to one of the members of his site. I can tell you now that you wont find all of the contributors and be able to pm them if he just gives their nicknames?

Place yourself in his position before posting your 'comments'.

Have respect, keep your thoughts for yourself
[XPERIA X1 General] mikebem:
very very debatable... um, actually, very not true
[XPERIA X1 General] markoc84:
Jeese, some of you guys are like spoilt little kids,

All this guy has done is to take some of his time to make a site dedicated to the X1 and simply gives you links to other websites that have some cool programs on them. It is actually very useful for people who dont have the time to go searching through all of the XDA site.

XDA is a good site but can be difficult to find things relating to the X1 specifically through the search when you only have 5 mins.

You guys are just slating someones hard work for no reason, if you dont like it then don't go to it and dont comment on it.
[XPERIA X1 General] AxE-mAn:
RESPECT!!!

Ah wow dude, thanx. Someone actually understands and realises this dude's work. It's so much simpler to get around on his site.

I admit, nothing will beat XDA, but this site is dedicated to the X1, much more userfriendly and easier to find things.

All we need is more members and contributions, and that site might become the number 1 Xperia site.

Just take a look at his site. If you don't like it, your loss. And keep your comments for yourself. If you do like it, help out a bit!

Thanx for the GREAT site W I N D L E. Don't give up
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Doesn't work on folders for me, just files.

---

As for you other lads who feel like being windle's knight in shining armor, you're behaving just as bad by "bashing" those who oppose his website. Not everyone has to like it, but they have just as much right to post they don't as windle has right to post about it in the first place. Basically, I'm pulling a "right back at ya" here - if you don't like their posts, ignore them!

Besides, he's still advertising his own site, with links to this site, on this site! Doesn't that strike you the least bit as odd? :p

Resco Contacts. It'll reskin the dialer, the call registry, your contacts and messaging.

PointUI Pro (unreleased).

Touch-IT v4.5 - The new Touchflo pretty much covers over the Winmo interface entirely.

There the ones i've used, others might have other solutions. Touch-IT is the best, but of dubious legality. PointUI will be great eventually, but it's still in early stages. Resco is OK, needs work but it's perfectly useable and better than the standard Windows Mobile stuff.
[XPERIA X1 General] drgooglib:
Gee, how could anyone find XDA unfriendly and unhelpful? I wonder... do you think... it could be posts like that?

Again, I love XDA, it's got good stuff, but all too often, on receives replies that are not friendly or helpful. My opinion is, if you dont have something worth while to contribute, dont bother replying, if it's just to tell them to search, or complain, etc.

And there's nothing wrong with giving a little credit where credit is due. I've seen plenty of links on other sites and blogs, crediting users at XDA in a similar manner.

Since you've already acknowledged some of XDA's perceived flaws, perhaps we could try to improve that image, rather than just taking shots at another site?
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
Strange. It definitely works works on my xperia with folders. I tried it before I wrote the comment.

Hi all.

I would like only to make a genuine Rose ROM ENG and ITA for Vox. Something like Gonzo Rose 1.0a ROM, but with original HTC CommManager and Italian Language. Could somebody help me? Since I've not enough skills to do it.

Thanks a lot in advance!
[HTC Vox] Gio512:
Nobody can help me? :(
[HTC Vox] menschenkind:
i have made a clean neo rose rom, I just try it:rolleyes:
[HTC Vox] m32:
I have recompiled varius roms floating over this forum :) - most usefull seems be rose from gonzo - others like frauhottelman, or lefab are using uncensored patches in uncensored way - You/me - should wait for usefull distro - or use nice kitchen (thanks frt) :) where erything is possible
[HTC Vox] Gio512:
I agree. But I've some problems with Kitchen... For example, I can't be able to extract a Gonzo ROM... At the Step 3, where I should reconstruct the ROM, it can't be able to complete the operation... It's really strange... For Frauhottelmann ROMs, it says that only some xT9 where missing, but for Gonzo ROMs... There are no hopes to get it working... Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
[HTC Vox] Pampooh:
You can't extract Dr. Gonzo's ROM. It is protected. frauhottelmann's ROM are not and can be extracted. Just delete the xT9, and its residues, and put one in OEM folder as Package. I hope this helps...

here is my neo rose lite rom (my first rom)

I would like to extract the files from original Rose ROM, and use these files to make a Vox ROM. Is it possible?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arwany:
Dear Members,

I tried to upgrade my JasJam with "838Pro_HK_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712"

Which worked with other JasJams (Many of my friends has it working).

On upgrading, it stucked on 11% saying Error [262]

I went through recovery, and it said remove the USB cable, remove the Battry, Return it, start the phone, connect the USB, and its recovered.

After that Its again stucked in 100% and the same senario is happening.

Please tell me is there any possibility to restore my phone working.

Its stuck now, and only the (Three color screen) is on the screen.

Hard reset, soft reset is not functioning, and the phone refused to show anything except the three color screen.

I searched the forum, but found no relative article, I am searching since two days your forum and I know that no other forums can help me in this as I was always getting my help from yours.

Thanks for your time.

If you're using XP then untick "Allow USB Connection" in activesync.

Reset to bootloader on your Hermes, Hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus.You will get the same screen you have now but it won't be a f*&%ed up version of bootloader. Connect to PC by USB and Install Hard SPL V7, found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296722

After this, use the sd card method to install the ROM.

1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. ?CFopy the .nbh file of the rom you want to it and rename to hermimg.nbh .

2. Insert into phone and reset to bootloader.

3 If you did everything right then follow the prompts...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arwany:
Again problem!

Dear ultramag69,

Thank you for your fast reply.

I did (untick) that option in the ActiveSync.

And also did reset to the device by holding the Power + Ok (under the flywheel) with Stylus reset.

After that I downloaded "Hard SPL V7" and tried to update.

First of all, in the "Hard SPL V7" there was only the last option active, and there was down a checkbox also active, but when choosing the last option, checkbox bocomes like everything else disabled.

However, I got the erro 286

I felt like the Device disconnected from USB and reconnected again (Windows gave me the sound when you remove some USB device and you re-connect it again) :-|

I don't know what to do with this dead device now !

Thank you very very much for your time and help
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Don't quote me on this as I suspect you need Hard SPL V7 but, as yo've tried things out and you're about to quit anyway, Try using the sd card to update the Stock rom, the rom that came on your Hermes, or updated version. It might let you do it if the CID matches.

I don't believe SPL 1.40 allowed you to flash ANY rom but it may let you re-install the stock rom BUT it must be the original carrier software it came with. If you had Telstra rom on it when you got it, it must be a telstra rom you flash. Make sure its for the right country too as some carriers are all over the world.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arwany:
Hello ultramag69,

Thanks alot for your reply.

Having my i-mate dead, is really interesting.

I am trying to recover it up, Mine came with (HTC) logo when booting, and I did flushed it with Dopod.

But recently, the network stopped, and I asked some experts, they said it need new OS (They ment to re-flush the ROM).

I tried with the same Dopod that was successful before, and its now stucked on 11%.

I even downloaded the Telstra but the same, it stucked on 13%.

This is my entire story, and still I am trying to get it up.

Thanks alot for your helping. nice of you.

And for all who read my post, if they had such experience before, please help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
If you can, try to find the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM. It may be your Hermes won't be recoverable as the flash stopped in the radio rom part. Most people use a cooked rom as this has the radio rom part out.

I personally use the sd card method to flash my roms so there are no sync errors or accidents with my PC. But you need Hard SPL V7 installed to get that to work with any but the shipped rom.

DON'T try flashing anything but the shipped rom or you will loose all chances of recovering your Hermes.

The only other suggestion would be to flash the SHIPPED RADIO ROM, but you need to know what radio it was before you flashed it with the dopod rom.

Unfortunately the radio rom is the Achilles heel of our phone series. Any problems during flashing of that means we pretty much end up with a brick 99% of the time. Most people are stuck and the rest seem to have limited success reflashing the radio. AVERY small percentage get it working with no trouble, but its a REALLY small amount of people.

Good luck, Make sure you flash with the SHIPPED STOCK ROM to improve your chances of success.

Cheers...:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arwany:
Ultramag69, Thanks alot for your consideration.

Flusching using SD card didn't success with SPL V7.

I formatted my MicroSD card, 2GB with Fat32 FS.

After that I copied the file that came with the zip archive (RUU_signed.nbh) and renamed as required: (herming.nbh).

And I put it in my i-mate, and holded the (Power + OK under flyweel) then restarted using the stylus, It showed me the tri-color screen, then it shows (Loading...) with Gray background screen (Which is normally the flusching screen) but it returned to the tri-color screen.

Any suggestions to get this SPL V7 installed successfully ?

I tried with all my (.nbh) files that I have downloaded from all sources, but its the same screen.

I think something is really wrong with me i-mate, should I take it to some Hard-ware service center ? and what can be damaged and need to be replaced in such cases ?

I am very excited in getting it working again.

Thanks alot.

Cheers... :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] yahiye2008:
I had bricked my Hermes a couple o' times, because of a rom I cooked half-way ( LOL ). Each time I had to flash back to the stock rom as suggested. Don't lose hope, cuz there's some people who will tell you just to accept it as bricked. You could also take the sucker apart and use jtags to flash. Most types of bricks can be solved when it comes to the Hermes. There's a thread somewhere that polled the different types of bricks, and except for radio bricks, most can be solved. If you unbrick it try 6.5 .... !!! My rom is cooked all the way now :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Arwany, did you run the SSPL.exe file in the sd card instructions for Hard SPL found on page 116, post 1160 of the Hard SPL thread? You need a version of Soft SPL (SSPL) to flash using the sd card as the CID must be bypassed. The reason we Hard SPL our Hermes is because its safer. Its worthwhile flashing the SPL using unsafe SSPL (even if you use the pc you have Soft SPL installed) as its a short flash, flashing a rom (especially stock roms with the radio rom inside) is a riskier and longer flash.

Cheers...:D

I had the same problem.. All you have to do is establish a connection with Actisync, then run the Updater. There will be 3 colors on your Screen, sont worry, just wait 10-15 min and your should be done with the setup.

Want to help

Hi,Just to tell You that I've noticed a little spelling mistake.You've written "herming.nbh" But it should be "Hermimg.nbh".
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Not the 1st person to make that mistake, and probably won't be the last.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arwany:
Hi All,

Yeah, that worked out for me, I could successfully flush my JasJam with that.

Thanks for your reply.

I am still facing problem when trying to flush with other OS, its always stuck on the GSM line.

I am using the SD flush method.

Any suggestions ?

THank s alot for your help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
If you have the no GSM problem the only way to, maybe, fix is to flash the original SHIPPED STOCK ROM, or the original radio rom. Flashing anything else may result in a permanent brick...:eek:

If it doesn't succeed then, sorry, its not repairable. Can be used as a PDA but not as a phone ever again.:(

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arwany:
Thansks Ultramag69, for all the helps, It solved my main problem.

You also Ekonkar, your comments was so helpful.

I will try to do some hardware repairing in some Mobile shop, they may get it up again !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
To fix it will cost more than to get a new device... They'll tell you they can't fix it or it needs a new mainboard. Will still cost you for this nugget of info. My advice, buy a Hermes off ebay, either working or not. If its not, make sure its screen related problem cos you have the parts to fix... Unless your screen has gone bung too...:p

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Arwany:
I gave it to the repairing guy, he replaced the GSM item and its up and running now for only 20$.

Prost :-D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Sweet, You should post where and what country so others in the same situation might be able to get their Hermes up & running.
