Right, im new to ROM testing but is it just me or is there no panel manager :S...

-Contacts no longer has the alphabet along the right hand side. I really liked that in previous versions as it made searching through my >100 contacts easy.

I wasnt able to use PIM backup though to import my messages properly, so im guessing M$ have changed the way messages are handled.

I must say its really smooth and fast!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mweb586:
That's a really nice ROM gtrab. Thanks bro.

1 question: Can the task manager be put on the notification bar somehow?... I have to go to start everytime I want to close something....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Mooseiah:
Thanks!

This is exactly what I wanted from a ROM! I love the new features, and I like having only Titanium and no panels or touch flo, as all I use is Titanium. It is blazing fast as well. Thanks for the time you have put into this!

That said the one thing that is ruining my experience here is that there is no "input" setting, in the settings. This is usually where you can change what keyboard is used, and I can disable the assist (Where it suggests words) etc. Is this something that can be installed via cab, or enabled in the registry? Sorry if this has already been covered, I searched on a few threads about this version, but the search feature is rather poor.

wow

23028

After about a days use of SEX1 R4 I've got the following points:

1 Because the volume button is now a magnifying button it's practically impossible to change volume when in a call

2 The phonepad doesn't fit in the screen anymore leaving use with an ugly scrollbar on the right

3 The "X" button on the bottom right doesn't seem to close programs just minimize them (so after a day I had a sh*tload of programs running at the background, because most programs can't be closed from menu button)

4 As said before, no alphabet on the right at contacts. And because the lines are more then double in size it's a lot of scroll work...:p

The system feels really quick and snappy (maybe because it's a really nice ROM...:p).

I did try some 3rd party apps (PIMBackup, SynchroTime, Total Commander, Opera, GoogleMaps, SE XT9) and although they don't seem to be graphically a perfect fit for the new build they all work just fine with no major issues.

All in all I like this build, feels stable and faster than earlier builds. And I also like the way the UI is going, even though it is causing issues (minor and major) with excisting apps.

Just installed R3A panel manager and it works flawlessly .
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] p25o1:
this is a really fast rom r4 beta ,,, i really like the new changes in this version of winmo 6.5, makes everything more convinient.

its nice to have the rom as vanilla and we can add things to it depending on what we need.

again very fast very stable,, the touch is very smooooooth and responsive.

IE seems to be abit buggy,, i'll try opera to see if its more stable on this rom version.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
1- yes, as stated before, no panels, just a pure barebone windows system with the minimal required Sony drivers and apps, for testing purposes only

2- yes again: incompatibility with previous Windows Mobile versions will get more and more accentuated as newer builds evolve to final

.

I've been drooling around this one, maybe the new OEM has a new Task manager, located elsewhere. I am able to add the ordinary Task Manager and it works, but it overlaps with the new clock

@Mooseiah:

Da_G has posted a solution for this issue (no input options), I am implementing it, will update soon along with some other bugs that may emerge (via CAB Service Pack 1)

@Lokatho:

Your oppinions are very very welcomed

This is a very important point:

Any suggestion for a good, non-interfering task manager ??

@Radospol:

Do you work for MS ??? I didn´t notice that before :D :p

We were all used to the ole lateral-scroll bar
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] newstar:
i personally not like this build

bad irritating build :)

closing programe is damn crazy :D

Garmin Mobile XT doesn't want to install on this build.

Anyone have the same problem?

For some reason it does work now!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] p25o1:
i installed garmin (5.0.20 i guess) on sex1 R4 and it works for me fine.

again i love this rom overall performance and stability
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gohyc:
I share the same sentiment as newstar. Of all WM6.5 builds I have tried, this is certainly by far the most hated build for me. Dislike the replacement of the 2 softkeys with 2 UGLY looking big buttons, which affects the screen alignment of all the apps, and for some 3rd party apps, some menus don't even appear which render the app useless. The new clock that replaces the CLOSE button on the taskbar also messes up taskmanager apps and taskbar themes.

All the beautiful skins made for Manila are simply ruined by the 2 ugly buttons, not to mention the 3rd CLOSE button at the bottom. The 2 buttons also took up more previous screen estate into the bottom, and this simply means that ALL the apps has to be re-desiged to cater for this extra screen area needed by these 2 buttons. A really bad move by Microsoft. Since this is only a beta build, certainly hope this isn't going to be final!

One thing for sure, Microsoft should just leave this to 3rd party developers, and try not to "fix" things that aren't broken to begin with, unless they think they can do a better job. Definitely not in this case for sure!!!

gtrab, do appreciate you giving us a preview of what is to come. :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Chaosstorm:
I like this build :P its fast and lots of free ram altho there is still alot of stuff that "could" be removed :P like "live search, my weather, internetsharing, search widget, streaming media" (my opinion tho)

This rom is faster then itje's 13.1 rom :rolleyes:

oh and pim backup worked for me.. i have my sms'es all back :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] komanguy:
Hi,

I'm testing this since 2 days and I found two bad points :

- the soft buttons at the bottom of screen are definitely uggly and reduce display on most applications

- the dialer display doesn't refresh correctly in landscape mode

Apart from that, this rom works well.

Cheers

are the apps on the pure & xpert versions available for download to install on the BB version

Thanks

Fantastic ROM, as a business user this is perfect, the battery life is amazing (with push on 24/7) and it's fast. First ROM I have used that makes the X1 decent to use.

Xperia tweak

Hi Guys!

The message about the new ROM from gtrab let me happy. I had install as fast as possible. Now, my problem is that "xperia tweak" not start. If I will start the program gives me an error and close the prog. Have anyone the same problem? Mainly why I use this prog is the comfortable registry tweaks. Have anyone a solution?

With best reguards
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] proatiku:
dude xperia tweak isnt compatible with WM6.5 at all.

use RegEdit or something different
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] patt2k:
everything is great but the dialer... fix that and otherwise im surprised even message typing is fast.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] JOeS:
Use Advanced Config.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] patt2k:
gtgrab can you tell me how align dialer? because its not aligned too good only this and this rom so far so good
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ludwigolivier:
What I've done is to switch off the custom dialer in Advanced Config.

where can i find the user info like device name?

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Typako:
Gtrab, great job.

I can confirm the already reported "bugs". Nothing new to be reported.

I just wanted to ask whether this rom has the native WM6.5 kernel and the relevant advanced memory management?

Thanks a lot
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zannyboy:
Hey Gtrab great ROM as usual! One issue ive found is that I cannot access the keyboard options to stop word suggestion etc. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and possibly found a sollution? Ive searched but not found this issue posted yet.

Thanks!

Use a reg editor to remove the redirect value in the following keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]

Used build 23403 for a day now and I didn't liked it as much as 23028, it was more buggy and felt like it was branched of before 23028.

Just flashed 23030, from the comments on Da_G's thread this seems like a good build. So I'm very curious...:D

Before I will release a kitchen or ROM based on 23030 I want to solve/change two things in particular:

1 use OEM Taskmanager but without the icon intefering with the clock on the Today screen. I did try to make the icon transparent, but it srews the enlarged taskbar (how did you managed to work aroudn this gtrab??)

2 make a usable 4 column startmenu, because of the UI changes the excisting 4 column startmenu don't work properly (I really don't like the big icons on the 3 column startmenu, too little info too much scrolling) - done (had some issues with the StartMenu on 23403, but that was a bug. start menu in 23030 will work with existing customisations, like SEX1 startmenu enhancer)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] asalia:
i guess you mean 3 column start menu... instead of row (4 would be better .. thanx)

btw i am using 23028.. very nicely build.. few issues i am facing are..

1. the volume scroll (finger friendly) is not completely visible, the bottom part of the scroll hides behind the bottom menu (ok, x, etc.) when i click it on the home screen.

2. the start menu does not expand to the screen size in landscape mode (stay 3 column) shear waste of screen size and equal amount of scrolling...

EDIT: The contacts app has a big issue.. use of hardware keyboard is pain, pop ups of on screen keyboard in landscape views, the scroll bar..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Stupid me, off course I meant columns:p. And I work with Excel on a daily basis...guess it was late after a hard days work:D.

1 don't know excactly what you mean, but this doesn't seem to appear in 23030 build.

2 gtrab probably forgot to edit the *.cpr for landscape startmenu

Contacts, just to ease the pain:

Taskmanager icon: I did try some suggestions in Da_G thread, they are all about making the icon transparent (like the CAB from williyung earlier in this thread) but they seem to screw up the clock icon in the enlarged taskbar, the nice analog clock becomes digital and doesn't fit the screen. So no real solution.

23030 again was a good build, with no stability or speed issues. Just saw 23031 floating around, so guess more testing to do...

Also jerpelea upped a 22001 build with modifications from SE, I'm curious on what SE has customised and with what purpose (R4 for X1 is gonna be wm6.5:D:D:D, though probably not:()

Few more issues that i have encountered.. in 23028

1. I installed the new R3A camera with geo tag and auto flash.. in the new camera the optical joystick cannot be used for navigation, the hard buttons around the optical pad are working..

2. I changed theme to the xperia silver/black.. after that if i change my wallpaper, then the background only changes in the home screen, the start menu background remains the previous one.. it needs a soft restart to apply the changes in start menu..

3. in the home screen, the pictures tab on the top of the menu messes up after i start and close the camera (R3A), as u can see the pictures in that tab have a white border, that border messes up does not remain on the border of each photo, needs a soft restart. the problem does not occur with the default camera.

4. I am not able to use the device FM radio, i tried installing panel manager and then MXP and radio panels, but doesn't work..

5. the dial pad have a un-necessary scroll bar to its right, looks very ugly..

Still this is a very nice build, i really like the interface..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] clubx1:
good to have you back

keep up the good work im expecting a new ROM soon. i just hope your not expecting 300$ like some other people to release a rom....;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] killer8nl:
This can be fixed by gtrab by replacing the 23028 phoneredist with the one from 23017 or before.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] derran:
1. Even on previous builds the optical joystick did not work on the R3A camera. But it was for the best as the joystick was too sensitive and was just irritating.

4. You need to install the R2A panel first then the R3A panel manager.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
yes you can

.

@All:

Windows is morphing, changing badly: love it o leave it

But if we want to keep up with the latest then we need to get used to it and find ways of adapting our xperia apps and drivers

Windows Mobile has taken a giant leap from Windows 3.1 to the Windows Vista / Windows 7 era

And this is only the beginning ...

.

YES this is the new NATIVE WM6.5 KERNEL FOR THE XPERIA (AKU 5)

@Lokatho:

Thanks for pointing out, next build solves some of the current bugs (23030... 31...)

And the 22001 buid is the FIRST public leak from SONY, that's GOOD NEWS and A LOT TO STUDY / LEARN / ADAPT !!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] clubx1:
hello gtrab

i was wondering since this is beta and all, if you were thinking about upgrading to the.34 version of 6.5 somewhere in the not to distant future?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Typako:
So, you have already switched to Visual Kitchen or modified your own?

I hope you share your new tools as you did up to now.

During the last months, I use self-cooked modified versions of your great ROMs, made with the tools and the knowledge you have generously shared with us.

Thanks once more.

The BEST ROM

Hi Gtrab,

I am a silent user of XDA X1 ROMs. Trust me, I have never came across the ROM that is as best as your barebone R3.61. I must say, all the OEMs having so many R&D & QA/QC will not match to R3.61. This is the perfect ROM.

For me sad part is, I love this ROM so much that I kept on reverting back to it everytime I try the latest X1 ROM published on XDA. I am the most satisfied user of your R3.61 ROM.

I am eagerly waiting for your R4 ROM. I am sure you will match the expectations of your fans.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Administrat0r:

Hi Gtrab

This beta ROM is more fast and more usable than older. Everything work fine except dial pad.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] KeRmiT80:
ok i was not satisfied by original layout..so i tried to use the excellent windows 7 mod by ibrythill but i found hard to scroll with a lot of tabs...

so i decided to go my own for a mid size :)

this theme uses:

- TitaniumWeather by showaco

- Clauncher by chriscsh

- notifications panel by larbke666

- Favorite People Plug-in by AppStar

- System plugin by dgaud007

- HTC audiomanager by ryomahino

- Opera Favorites by showaco

- Analog clock by rpereira

icons are a mix of many authors i found in this forum plus some from internet plus some modded by me

if i forgot someone in credits PM and i'll be pleased to update :)

i'm using brian taskbar 6.5 and m.carrol glossyblack, dragon is just a background. my work is on system fonts and titanium ONLY.

UPDATE:

Ok this is the first relase

i've created a zip, inside you'll find

- all the original cabs to install plugins

- my cab

-some extras like wallpapers, taskbar skins, and the Japs fonts...i left everything separate so it's your choice :D

as you can see in the last screen i've made 2 more listback pngs you'll find in extra folder...

same as fonts...if you like just overwrite in \windows dir and restart/reboot :)

Link : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P8FUVVH4

ps: in the final release i think i'll be able (i'm learning to use cab manager) to make a all in one cab, so have just a little more patience :D

UPDATE: POST No. 16 LANDSCAPE AND FONTS INSTALLER CAB

Update 2

version 1.01

both cpr portrait and landscape

now it installs fonts and uses only for titanium today, won't change your system fonts ;)

for fonts issue really i don't know, i tried with different fonts and the problem of the "squares" is because of missing characters (maybe you're using something different than english on your phone) or the default size of the characters...but if they work for my qvga (do you use a qvga device?)

[Windows Mobile Themes] KeRmiT80:
well without soft reset i suggest to disable windows default in today settings, then copy my cpr both landscape and portrait and then reenable windows default.

other problem could be that different fonts don't use the same pixels...i tried to adjust texts sizes to fit original fonts and the jap ones but can be i miss some :)

hi!

I love your theme bro and really appreciate your work...

though it doesnt fit me using those titanium panels that you included in this theme so unistalled them..(though some remain coz i find them useful).:)

i like the japanese font that you made and im dying to have this on my phone but i have a problem using them on my Prophet (Qtek S200) i have a qvga screen and when i use this font and open a certain folder it totally ruins the screen like the graphics are already off screen < see attached thumbnails >

is there a fix for this? and how can i do it?

but anyway!! Thanks and good work really...
[Windows Mobile Themes] KeRmiT80:
in post one i uploaded a new cab, this installs theme and fonts only for titanium, system fonts will not be changed...(off couse you have to uninstall the old fonts cab :) )

remeber to disable titanium first and then soft reset before reenable ;)

if you want fonts in all system unfortunately they are not suitable for all programs...we should edit manually each font to use less "space" but then in other programs they'll result too little...
