He doenst actually say that the x1 is a failure, just that it was "a kind of experiment" (direct quote there).... but I hope they dont withdraw their support as its a nice little phone... although I think I am due an upgrade soon so will probably change my phone to the latest new toy... uh I mean important and valuable tool for work (if the wife asks...!!!) ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
There were no words of "failure" there

so don't mess it up.
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
The only thing that pisses me off is that there is no R3A like we imagined it. The phone is good and I won't sell it now. I stick to it. I love it very much. Together with MS 3.0 it gives me everything I want. Even the slide in landscape mode is fast now.

But guys, what do you think? It was said that the Xperia X2 supports panels as well. Are those panels not usable on our loved x1s then? This would be a good thing to do from SE.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i would expect that any x2 panels will work on the x1 with the exception of ones that might need certain hardware ( but i expect that panels to be made for the whole experia range).

i think that there was probably a good reason why the r3 firmware did not have the extra's (bugs, battery etc), i expect all resources have been moved to the x2 wm 6.5 development (i hope this time SE make there own ui as other companies have)
[XPERIA X1 General] jasonhow:
Last week call service centre at singapore, the service tell me that they still testing wm6.5 for x1i, but not confirm when will release to customer and may not free.
[XPERIA X1 General] xperiance:
Well, I hope not so much... regardless, I get my X1 this week and I'm excited.
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
lets have a little faith .. maybe the reason why the R3A did not include all the extras we wanted is because they are planning to release them with Windows 6.5 - so we would have firmware update 4 that would include windows mobile as well as all the stuff that we were expecting for R3A

lets wait and be positive
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
^^^ qft

Rhodium is my next choice.
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
x2 would be my next choice. Anyway, if SE really brings wm 6.5 on our phones, even for a small fee, they would make me really happy. And it also tells us that they did not give up on that phone yet.

If it is like Ganondolf said and all the xtras come with xperia x2 I won't buy any SEs anymore. Back to HTC, hehe!
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
yea then the x3 or x5 will come out and the x2 people will be forgotten
[XPERIA X1 General] viperhead:
You can call me optimistic, but i do have this feeling that SE will release a free upgrade to WM 6.5 for the X1
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
You are optimistic...

Thankx in advance.

You need the custom SPL (at the end of the the root process wiki)

however, I am not clear whether you can install the custom SPL without being root, so you therefore might need root anyhow

I have Windows 7 RC installed and so I had issues installing the USB Driver from the SDK I hope this helps others too

For WinVista/Win7

These OS will install Android as a mass storage device. You must uninstall the driver and update to the android driver model.

Instructions:

1) Unplug all removable devices(thumb drive, sdcards, etc) beside the Android phone.

2) Locate "Device Manager", usually under "control panel"

3) Select "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"

4) Select USB Mass Storage Device.

Note: to check if you have the correct device, click on the details tab and select "compatible ids" under properties. There should be three items listed under value.

5) Select uninstall driver

6) Close the window. Now in device manager a new "Android Phone USB device" with a yellow! will appear... If not, Unplug your android device or select Action -> Scan.

Note: view optional steps below if you still have problem with the your windows automatically installing drivers.

7) Click on the "Android Phone USB device"

8) Select "browse my computer to driver software"

9) Under "search this location for driver", Browse for the location that you have unzip the android_usb_windows and select the corresponding folder for your system(AMD64 for 64bit systems or x86 for 32bit systems. Right click -> properties on "My Computer" to check which system you have)

The driver is now installed and is ready to use.r

***Optional.

1. Go to System under Control Pandel.

2. Click on Hardware Tab and Under "Device Installation" select “Never search windows update for drivers”, then OK.

3. Go to Enable debugging on your phone. (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging).

4. Run USBDeview and remove all instances of Android Phone

5. Unplug your phone, and plug it in again.

7. Continue on step 7) above.

Hi,

I am a newbie in this whole flashing/rooting thingy, so pls forgive my naivety.

I'm currently using HTC magic with official HTC update (with Sense UI):

32A, HBOOT 1.76.0007, RADIO 6.35.07.29.

I do have a few questions:

1. Do I need to do any preparation (rooting, recovery) prior to the instructions found in first Post?

It says:

Proper Install Guide for 0.7.7

-Extract the zip file you have downloaded
-Place the two newly found zips on your sdcard
-Reboot into recovery
-IF YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR APPS AND DATA FROM PREVIOUS BUILD, DO A NANDROID BACKUP NOW(people who would like to wipe all, should skip this step)
-WIPE DATA
-Flash Partition_Layout.zip and wait for it to reboot back to recovery
-[b]IF YOU DID NANDROID BACKUP PREVIOUSLY, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO A NANDROID RESTORE[b](people who have decided to do a wipe should skip this step)
-Flash Smoki_0.7.7.zip
-IF YOU DECIDED TO NOT WIPE, FLASH APP PACK OVER OR YOU'll GET FC IN ACCOUNTS AND SYNC
-Reboot

2. How do I do a Nandroid backup?

I tried reading on Amon_RA recovery. It seems that I need to root my phone before I can install the recovery. I find it challenging to root my phone, is there a comprehensive guide that I can refer to?

3. Can I proceed to flash the ROM without Nandroid backup?

4. How do i flash Partition_Layout.zip?

Do I just place it in /sdcard, and type

"fastboot flash Partition_Layout.zip"

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] poetryrocksalot:
Learn to write sentences that make sense (I'm telling you this cause your writing is pretty good, and atleast you would improve unlike others).

1) The Media Panel I uploaded is the R3A Version and it has integrated radio.

2) I don't think they work on R3A.

3) Your sentences don't make sense: are you saying the one I uploaded only works on the R2A Rom?

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
You always have to make sure that you've installed the ActiveX-thingy and the "R3A"-panelmanager first to make the new mediapanel run. Don't forget the SDKcerts as well.

i am facing that problem too. But for me, only the 3D fish panel is not working. The message after installing is that the program is not compatible with the current version of the OS, which is 6.1, quite ironic if you ask me.

Is it a flag in the reg that is preventing the 3D fish from working?
