its ok found out the details i just restored my nadorid backup got the details from it installed HTC hero 1.4 :D all is good thanks for the help
[G1 General] Dyonas:
I recently rooted my UK G1 and I've put the latest JAC Hero on 2.7.3 complete with a backup using nandroid. I'm still fairly new to this and I was considering trying out the JF Android builds to see if I prefer it but I'm not totally sure how the process will work.

Do I have to go back to the RC7 firmware and go through that process? I have CM 1.3.1 recovery image on as a result of putting Hero on, can I just download the JF build, name it update.zip, throw it on the SD card and flash over the top of the Hero firmware? Lastly, if I hate it and want to go back to Hero I assume I can just use the nandroid backup to restore it, right?

Thanks :)
[G1 General] I am M3:
Just perform a wipe and flash JF's image. Also if you had apps2sd, you should clear your second partition using LucidREM's script.
[G1 General] Deathwish238:
JF is boring compared to TheDude's, Cyanogen and Hero. I really wouldn't recommend going back unless you just want good old stability
[G1 General] Dyonas:
Thanks for the heads up and since you said that I put Cyanogen's latest firmware on, based on the CRC1 update, very sleek and it feels like a new phone compared to what I'm used to. Now I know I can safely use a nandroid backup / restore I feel a lot safer flashing things :)

Gotta say I really like how willing everyone is on here to help others, especially new users like myself who ask questions you might've seen lots of times before.

Hi Everyone,

Here is my favorite WMP Skin that I want to share with you.

The orijnal skin is made by "Dusk" at the following "Blackstone" Thread as "WVGA" . Thanks to him :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=518479

I have made some modifications to convert a VGA skin from WVGA and also added "No Album Art"

For now, only "Portrait" version is working.

Just unzip to programfiles windows media player then choose in the skins option.

Do you know if its possible to get the action screen in landscape?

If i have TF3D, the action screen appears like its still portrait, so it only takes up 3/5 of the screen horizontally (in landscape) and it shows 2 complete rows and the top of the third row, and then it goes off the screen

If i have titanium, the action screen doesn't appear at all

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anakin908:
Well, I've been browsing around here for a few months ago, and rooted my phone the day I registered. Today I decided to try and install the CyanogenMod. The thing is, i guess i got scared while it was booting because i was coming from JF 1.5, so i installed CyanogenRecovery. Then i decided to try a wipe. However, when i held Home+End or Home+Back, it loaded into the bootloader! I thought this was weird, and ended up restoring my phone from the bootloader. When my phone turned on, it said, Welcome to Android Dev Phone 1. Please press the android to continue.

also, i think this is amazing and all, but i cant install any themes.

Now, whenever i try to go to recovery to install the Hero theme, it just goes into bootloader.

any suggestions?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
You sure you're pressing the right buttons? Recovery is home+power. Also, you made your phone into an ADP isn't something new. ADP is just a software version without extras like IM I believe and amazon mp3. Nothing really different.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Its ADP because thats the what firmware Cyanogen uses.

Your recovery image isn't installed properly. Download and reinstall Cyan's recovery image through adb/fastboot or terminal as per his thread

hello all

how do you know when a new update is avaible from sony and what changes it does?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
download Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) from here and follow the instructions once installed - http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/x1?lc=en&cc=gb

Also sony didnt release any info on what they did literally change but there have been some threads about it.

I do know in R3A they fixed a problem with the Clock and updating the Weather or something.

If you want to know when a new update is coming or what not i'd just check the forums here at XDA - sony hasnt even updated the Xperia page since R2A so they are very unreliable for update news - I even subscribed to the Official Xperia newsletter and never heard anything from them :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowy_gti:
ive got R3A is that the latest version? i dont wana update it if it is as last time i updated it i had to set the phone up all over again
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_TLS:
If you use the updater it will tell you if you have the latest version or not and if you do, it wont do anything (unless you tell it to reinstall anyway).

ive been having this strange problem with my touch screen for the past month or so. its been working just fine for the past year so this is a bit of a bother. anyways here goes:

the right half of my screen is properply aligned as in when im using the keyboard and pressing keys such as p or k or l they press fine but on the left half of the screen where keys such as A or S or D are present. when i press them they dont get pressed, instead the key next to them gets pressed for example if i press S then A shows up.

i tried aligning the screen it solves the problem but only untill the system reboot. when it goes haywire again like this. anyone else suffering from the same type of problem and know the solution to this?

thanks alot

30fps is overkill and odds are it is the main cause for the slowdown also you'd want to use 128k for the audio.. you're much better off just using this.. quick easy, batch encoding everything you could want and more. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
I'll try that converter has i have before but i always get some annoying error when trying to encode the audio - i will try again and then also change fps to 25 - Super has some problems too when using a low audio codec so i had to put it higher but i'll test and see what happens:

The quality wasnt very good to be honest it wasnt very sharp and a little pixelated a times i used these settings:

SD INPUT - VGA:640x480

i am gunna test using these settings on super:

- Yea these settings worked better than before so i will encode the rest of my vids like this but back to the OP - why cant Xperia play like iPhone videos?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddyLee:
why? iphone?

because it plays xperia videos better ... better resolution, crisp and clearer than the iphone ever can be.

lol what an ignorant comment. higher res only helps on lower quality videos xD if u play higher quality videos, u cant even tell the difference between the screens because the video is not pixelated and **** to begin with. but the thing is, ur xperia cant play high quality video, i mean 1mb bitrate is about as high as it can go o.o lol. i have a touch hd and an iphone 3gs so i can admit that with no bias opinion. hell, even the iphone 3g played better video than xperia x1. and no, iphone has much better saturation of colors, video playback and the rest of the multimedia section is apple's specialty, dont compare any of these qualcomm 7201 chipset phones with iphone, not in multimedia, its like comparing to see which car is faster, a ferrari or a camry LOL
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
I lol'd. Ignorance is bliss they say...

I won't dignify this with a proper response. You don't even have BASIC understanding of how "stuff" works.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannigan174:
I kinda agree with both orelsi and crazililazn. The iPhone can play good video at 480X320, but it simply does not have the higher resolution of the Xperia (800X480). I have mixed results with Xperia, but if I run lower res videos it always runs great.

iPhone will give good video results all the time, but Xperia can provide better video with optimized settings.

Crazililazn, you got the resolution thing backwards, though. I know what you are referring to, but you are technically backwards.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
I haven't seen mentioned in this thread that the X1 only hardware accelerates CERTAIN types of video with CERTAIN parameters. It won't accelerate every type of video you throw at it. ALSO, as far as I know, you must use either MXP or WMP to access the hardware acceleration of video (this may have changed, but it was like this originally).

I have managed to get flawless .mp4 at 1.1Mbps (1.2Mbps starts to hiccup). I stopped seeing a difference above 700kbps, though.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
Again I see some subjective comments. Please note that in video, the same video playback can be valued as 'unwatchable' by some and as 'perfect' by others.

So if you use coreplayer, use benchmark function. Then post the results.

If you use other player, at least say 'it looks good TO ME'.

For example for me, 1 dropped frame is visible and it is not perfect playback. Also halving the framerate is unacceptable (quality wise).

And yes, Xperia can so-so play videos converted specially for it, using built in player. It can also play some really low-bitrate videos in coreplayer. But that's it. It's not perfect movie player.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Yup, but only because WMP and the MXP don't support them.

I don't agree about the so-so part.

WMP can play videos PERFECTLY. I have tried both and HQ and HD and both of them work flawlessly. Not even one frame droped.

I agree that it is not a movie player, but it is not intented to be one. It is an all-in-one device :D. I have watched whole seasons of HDTV shows on it and the experience delightful. I don't like two things - that we need to converta and the small screen :).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
how do you know it didnt drop a frame - have u got a wmp benchmark program?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:

........
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa7640:
The reason that CorePlayer ONLY play the LOW-BITRATE movies smoothly is due to the (relatively) slow CPU. It is likely that CorePlayer performs much better with a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. Unluckily, we will still have the same slow CPU on Xperia X2. :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Nope.

The problem is that CorePlayer does NOT recognize X1's chipset. Check "hardware acceleration" in Google.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeoneSimple:
Orelsi is right, IMO, the quality of accelerated WMP-compatible video's are actually really good.

The only problem, is the lack of documentation for the QTv DSP and its H.264 decoder. The 'HD-Encoder' which is stickied somewhere on these forums, does a fine job, but I'm pretty sure the DSP is capable of so much more.

I still think Coreplayer is useless (yes, even when a CorePlayer associate/Dev barges in and says I'm wrong), especially on the X1. Sure it got a fancy set of supported codecs (on the other hand, TCMP has just as great codec support), but its totally useless, apart from some ultra-crap, lowbitrate, level -9.1 encoded Xvid, the framerate is ****.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
