Ok... it's really fast... not as fast as TouchX10.5 but much faster then any with WM6.5 & Manilla 2.1/2.5 (as seen on benchmarks)

fast camera (without bugs)

eyecandy :)

...

some bugs (Manilla bugs):

-choosing avatar/photo for contact in People Tab: doesn't work touchscreen, only hardware pad

-after adding a contact to HomeTab (only one contact) it has been duplicated many times (for every empty rectangle)

- HTC messaging doesn't work in landscape... (I know that Manilla is from Leo... I know... ) so maybe HTC Messaging Tab (pressing on SMS) could be changed to simple WM Messaging, which works great...?

-noringer/vibrate mode in CommManager

-maybe it could be done that volumeUp gives one +1 to Volume, now pressing VolumeUp Hardware key shows only Volume Control

-after soft reset binded left hardware button (show <inputPanel>) looses it's BIND for <Today> action

anyway Awesome Work... Thanks !

odd.... i'm getting a CRC failed error every time

i've tried using pocketrar on device, and also 7-zip and WinRAR on the pc, each time CRC failed

also downloaded from both links in post 9, same thing

:confused: any help?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adiereeves:
Same here, link in post #1 (mega upload) says file is emporarily unavailable. Files from post #9 both corrupted.

<EDIT> Linkn in post #1 now available and NOT corrupted
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adiereeves:
WOW!

I've just spent about 2 hours getting my software set up and making the settings to my liking... gotta say... WOW!! this is kinda quick!! Will know more for sure when I'm out and about using it for satnav & emails etc.

Great ROM so far, only thing I miss (and it's purely cosmetic) is the new style email tab with the page instead of the envelope.

Good work, thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Tri3Dent:
Hey, nice rom!

One question, I noticed that there is kinetic scrolling in this Windows Mobile 6.1. How did you get that? It actually scrolls pretty smooth.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Oobly:
Just tried the mediafire version and you're right, it is corrupt... :( I am so sorry for the inconvenience / time taken to download / frustration!

Removing the links from my post. Will test the upload properly next time before posting. :o

@cichy3000:

1. Choosing a contact works with the touchscreen, but selecting the contact image requires the use of the joystick. The same for selecting a background image for manila... working on it (it's a strange issue since I have replaced the album app with one that works with the touchscreen and it works on photos tab). If you have already assigned an image to the contact it gets shown fine without having to select a new one.

2. I managed to get the same behaviour... I think it is related to the home page links not updating quickly enough / properly. Adding programs doesn't seem to do it, though, only contacts. Will try to find out why and hopefully find a fix.

3. I will post a cab file in the second post that you can use to disable the HTC messaging app.

4. In "Settings" - "Sound and Display" - "Ring Type" you can select vibrate and ring.

5. Looking into the volume issues. Will try to make it like you say. Trying to fix the display, too, so will try to make this change at the same time.

6. Not sure about the softkey binding issue. Will have to test it myself. If I recall correctly there was some issue like this in another ROM, but I think it was the right softkey being remapped... will research it.

@Tri3Dent: I mixed and matched a bunch of packages to get this ROM working and I think it is the TouchScroll package which enables it. Anyway, hope you like it :)

Thank you for your feedback about this ROM. I will try to keep improving it.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Tri3Dent:
Mind sharing the TouchScroll package you are talking about?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] adiereeves:
some feedback...

1 - nice and fast

2 - would like to see opera as default on internet tab

3 - after typing, pressing keyboard icon at bottom doesn't minimise, it repeats the last character typed

4 - changing ringtone in contacts doesn't save changes. can select another tone but once done is pressed it still says no ringtone. default main tone is used instead.

5 - would this benefit from manila 2.5.1921 newest build? (only cos i like the email tab)

6 - it's a keeper for now cos it's the fastest 2.5 rom i've found. Nice work, thanks for sharing and developing.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Janika:
I don't set cities, just updated the Weather, and it was set my city. After restart touchflo, it display "My Location". The weather info is okay, just city name missed. I don't know why.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bongdelong:
thx for this rom... will try it after download :D hope its stable and fast :[ tried so much roms with leo and 6.5.. but always very buggy and not usable for daily use :[
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bongdelong:
wow... awesome !!... its so fast !!! O.O first wm6.1 rom with new manila... wow... big thx ;]
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Oobly:
Hi,

I flashed Medium 2.3 with Rhodium dialer and I use 1.14 rilphone and 1.16 radio and the battery usage seems fine, 1-2% per hour. So I think it must either be a bad flash on your device or some 3rd party app draining the battery.

I suggest you first try a hard reset. If that doesn't fix it, try a reflash.

@darkhalf520: Thank you for your understanding :) Bug finding and fixing does take a lot of time, effort and many flashes.

Working on 3.0 at the moment.. I have a bootable ROM now, but the device doesn't start the customisation process properly. Will keep trying things.

@bongdelong: Hope you enjoy using it and if you find any bugs, please post them here so I can try to fix them.

-Oobly

[EDIT] The weather animation fix cab works!! Sunny animation is smooth and fast. [/EDIT]
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] VU HEO:
It's perfect ROM,

Speedy, Stablity, Long life batery.

so some bug: I can't dial from manila contact, hardware button can't fix, after reset my , softkey turn to default and system font so small

I hope you fix everything on Official ROM release
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oTToToTenTanz:
[EDIT] The weather animation fix cab works!! Sunny animation is smooth and fast. [/EDIT]

I love to hear that! If you want any help with bug report I'd be happy to help you with the new 3.0 rom! Thumbs up!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] DIGItonium:
Excellent job packaging a WM6.1 and Manila 2.5 ROM with simple essentials! Speed-wise, it is excellent compared to WM6.5 with Manila 2.5 and much less buggy (no annoyances so far).

Have you ever tried nLite or vLite for XP and Vista? It's nice to strip the OS down to barebones (i.e., get rid of stuff that's not needed especially in the Windows folder). Definitely stick to the most stable WM6.1 platform and strip it down.

Thanks for keeping it simple!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ll_ppl:
in your opinion which version of radio is better 1.14 or 1.16 or 1.7 from the point of battery life?

thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bongdelong:
Hm... my "My Location" at Weather tab does not work :(( when i push update now this image left to "My Location" is working but than nothing... no error msg .. nothing :\ but when i add locations by myself it works without any problem :]

(Microsoft MyPhone included would be nice)

mh... in the last roms i used (6.5 + leo) i was able to upload photos or movies right out of the Album to facebook or youtube... this is not possible and is not necessary but would be a nice feature :D

i have Radio 1.11.25.76 ... and its really nice :] dont try 1.14, 1.16 and 1.7 :) probably i do :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oTToToTenTanz:
Now, Oobly, I wanted to found you a beer but saw that there is no "donate" button like other chefs have them. Don't you have paypal?

*Patiently waiting for 3.0 =)*
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bongdelong:
Love this rom... so fast and stable :) best rom i flashed so far :) thx :)

is it much work to release a german or in general a multi language rom? that would be awesome :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] youliang:
Just curious, what keyboard do you all use with this rom?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] pablo34:
i use ez input 2.0
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] DIGItonium:
I've had this ROM for a few days now. Everything seems to be working pretty good like SMS, BT Handsfree with my Kenwood headunit (superb!), battery life, etc.

However, I notice switching to Landscape can either be slow or crash the phone indefinitely. Also, memory usage isn't as great or WM isn't cleaning up resources.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] meniawy:
So Far So GooooooooooD

@Oobly's, thanks for your kind time& effort

Really good ROM (Rhoduim 1.1 with dialer)

But, i found few things didn't like:

1- No 3G dialer? however i installed BlackStone IT dialer & working fine..but why?:eek:

2- Touch screen is not silky smooth.:rolleyes:

3- No quick-GPS application, i installed V-Lite Rhoduim one...:cool:

4- Old manila 2.1, however new icons i have already applied..but for my information i want to know whether this is better in performance or power consumption???:confused:

Lastly, Thanks amigo for your good time& effort..God bless you..

Keep it up.:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] youliang:
1-There is.

2- Which rom did you find smoother than this rom?

3- under programs --> GPS--> QuickGPS

4- There's the 2.5 version at = "Medium version 2.3: HERE (mediafire, tested and working)"
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] meniawy:
Really

1- I assure 100%, there was No 3G dialer in Rhoduim dialer..it's even called 2G.:confused:

2- It's not smooth as Touch X10.1 or 15, hope would be even better..all the best for Oobly's.

3- I know should be under programs GPS, but there was not out there..thanks i'm not a beginner.:)

4- I mean new manila 2.1.1920 with new icons..i know there 2.5 manila out there..but i prefer stable usable one.

All what i have listed is just a matter of suggestions to keep it more and more popular..

Any way thanks for trying to help. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] DHel01:
How is your progess on the 3.0 LEO Landscape ROM? I can't wait to try it. I'm going crazy because of the random freezes of 6.5! I wan't the fast and stable 6.1 back :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oTToToTenTanz:
Can't wait either but I'm already too ashamed to ask. We should be cocking ourself...pity I can't do it. And Oobly, please, if you got a paypal account I'd like to donate as encouragement.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Necrotone:
This ROM didn't work so good for me.

For some odd reason, my phone wouldn't boot and got stuck on the SE logo.

Seems to do this everytime I turn my phone off.

Had to hard reset twice now.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oTToToTenTanz:
What a shame this one is dead for a couple of days now...Oobly- where r u? Still cooking us a 3.0?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bongdelong:
Yea :confused: This Rom is my fave so far :( But some bugs are still there... nothing is perfect :) an update would be awesome ;) im waiting :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Oobly:
Hi guys,

Sorry, life is busy...Changing jobs and busy home life. But I am still cooking. Mainly working on 3.0, but will look at other bugs, too. Should have a moment to try a few things tomorrow.

-Oobly
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oTToToTenTanz:
great news. Thanks for the update and take your time for RL =))
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Janika:
Hi Oobly!

Can you upload the Rhodium 1.1 with Rhodium Dialer and the Medium 2.3 saved files for the kitchen?

Thank You!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] malfunction1:
Thanks for your roms! I'm looking forward to try your 3.0 rom. Hope you will finish it soon)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Matzemink:
Hey Oobly,

thanks for sharing your ROM! :)

It's a perfect ROM for daily use! Fast, stable and it looks beautiful :p

Some little things I've noticed after 3 weeks:

- You added nice utilities (instead of showcase :D i would like to have a better one) but maybe you could add AdvancedConfig i.e. I have no delivery notification.

- And maybe the Opera10 browser which is better than 9.5 (/9.7).

- I think the letters are too small in message screen

After all no major/minor bugs found => Keep up the good work!! :)

Looking forward to 3.0 :cool:

Regards,

matzemink
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cichy3000:
I think that Showcase is really great tool (I've mapped it to long send button - with Link Creator), and set the auto startup service (via configuration in windows)

another my "bind" is long press end key and Common Manager ...

Oobly, in Next version if You could add Showcase Configuration link to the Windows Settings, it would be great...;)

IMO: Oobly's Rhodium 1.1 is stable as 10.9.1 and much faster... (see file browsing, see how manila is smooth...) ! it really rox ! :p :D

looking forward to hear any news about next versions ... :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] iliadis:
IMO: Oobly's Rhodium 1.1 is stable as 10.9.1 and much faster... (see file browsing, see how manila is smooth...) ! it really rox ! :p :D

i agree with you .This is a really great rom.:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oTToToTenTanz:
Hi Oobly -,

u havnt been around for some days now. Pls write us some words bout 3.0. Will there b one or did u stop developing?

So long,

Kon
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] murderdollpf:
does manila work in landscape on medium rom?

i guess no right^^
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cichy3000:
nope... :/ only sms tab i think... (and whole rhodium :) )
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] yinduyun:
I've been experiencing some troubles with the Music tab. I copied about a dozen mp3s to my memory card. Ever since, whenever I select the Music tab, TF3D restarts. Any suggestions?

I'm otherwise mostly happy with this ROM. Contact editing can be a bit dodgy though.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Howshall:
Music tab fine for me

I can confirm that I've got approx 1.4Gb of MP3 files have been indexed and play fine through the Manila Music tab on Oobly's Medium 2.3 with Rhodium dialer

Obviously might be worth trying a fresh batch of songs and maybe also try switching WMA/MP3 as a further test, but I can personally confirm on that particular ROM Music tab can handle quite a lot of files in multiple per album sub folders off the SD card.

Haven't really edited contacts via the HTC contact manager, although did notice that the 'Show on Map' click through to Google Maps doesn't work for me.

Glad to hear you are also trying out this ROM so that'll be two of us hopefully able to report this ROM is Standby of Death free on the X1 Standby of Death (SoD) thread (it is for me so far on day 4! :))
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deepthroat:
Howshall, sorry to jump in but i think Oobly's conservative approach make me sure 99% that your attempt to find SoD on this rom will fail :D

@Oobly, off-topic, were you part of Kaiser PDC team long time ago?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Howshall:
The testing plan...

@deepthroat You're right, I'm 99.9% sure there won't be SoDs on this ROM because it's WM6.1 based :D

Using Oobly's ROM to give me a stable baseline means I'll have re-proved there's no hardware issue with my device and then planned to push it by installing a latest landscape Manila 2.5 on top of this ROM to prove it's not specifically Manila 2.5

If latest Manila 2.5 works fine on WM6.1 (Which I again believe it will) then that proves as we all suspect that it's the combination of recent WM6.5 and Manila 2.5 that doesn't like our X1's

Obviously that's a lot of time testing, but hopefully worth it to help the chefs narrow this down?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deepthroat:
yeah who knows? we need to learn how to cook then identifying com branch/ tree down to those have this problem, play around with it, then what manila2.5 is that exactly? we have now have 1920, 1921 and the latest 1922?

btw, i keep this nice rom in my SDcard too, just in case :) thanks Oobly
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cichy3000:
Oobly, is there any chance you could provide Xperia 2 Keyboard as an additional installable cab ? Installing on Rhodium version (EZ Input... :/ ) gives baaad issues... :/ ... X2 XT9 by Tegic is really great for writing without slided hardware keyboard (just touchscreen)... :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] yinduyun:
Well then,

I've had my X1 running on this Rom (specifically the Manila 2.5 with Rhodium dialer) completely stable for about a week now.

Minor issues are present - For one, weather on the home screen often states "My Location" instead of actually naming what location the current data set is for.

Another issue I mentioned before but didn't look into more (yet) is the Music tab, which doesn't yet work for me - maybe I'm doing something wrong. Someone mentioned indexing, I'm not sure what you mean by that - please clarify?

Third, Contacts. Show on Map doesn't work at all, and trying to edit certain fields in contacts using the hardware keyboard (I've mostly noticed this in the address sub-entries) can give you wonky screen or not work at all (you tap on an entry, the software keyboard pops up. You press a key, the software keyboard disappears, but the entry field gets de-selected. Very irritating.).

Other than these, great rom and certainly recommended for stable long-term use. Finger-friendliness does suffer a little due to 6.1, but that's to be expected.

All in all, general big thumbs-up.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djromeo:
there is a thread based on this Weather Animation problem...u should search Xperia Rom section for "My Location Problem"...the solution that worked for me was to use EDGE connection instead of 3G! But there are also other steps that could help as well, including activating your googlemaps before trying to update your My Location service.

Goodluk.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Cumi:
Thx

Thank you for this excelent ROM. Its very fast and stable. I hope you will update with newer builds of Manila :rolleyes:

personally i dont like WM 6.5 ROMs. They have many bugs and anoyances and they are not that fast as 6.1 ROMs.

Keep on good work.

P.S. Sometimes my phone freezes after changes to landscape or back to portrait, but this problem i have on most ROMs. Maybe apps? I dont know.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Howshall:
Thanks! ...and Wishlist for next version

Hi Oobly,

First many many thanks for building such a great ROM which has finally let me have Manila and a stable 'Standby of Death' free phone for over 2 weeks now! :)

All the work you've put in has definitely made this a very finger friendly, fast and stable ROM so much that it didn't hardly hurt coming back from the latest WM6.5.3 as it's really only the reverting to original Start button position and drop down format that have any impact on my day to day usage, so I'm very happy to stand by my 1st week's review.

Obviously even for the best ROMs there are a couple of things I'd love so I thought I might put them here for if/when you get round to your next version:

- Full Cooked in Manila 2.5 Landscape support

- Maybe enhanced Calendar / Icons Manila (If stable enough) - More detail and video in action

- Contacts Address 'Show on Map' working to open Google Maps

- Recommended CAB to disable HTC SMS application and just use WM threaded

- MS and Open Marketplace App stores cooked in?

- Updated versions of apps like Facebook (v1.2 latest allows Comments/Likes), Google Maps (Always something new!), Office 2010

Nice to haves:

- Can Connection Setup auto configure Phone Region + Voicemail as some ROMs do?

- There is a 2nd duplicate 'Device Information' icon within Settings > System tab

- There is no 'Battery' icon within Settings > System tab

- Updates to Opera 9.7 default start and help pages into English versions

- Build in released weather animation fix

- Suggest disable by default of 1:01 clock flip?

- Could/should Opera 9.7 be un-installable via Remove Programs?

As your current ROM is soo good I'm not actually in a big hurry for these but wanted to put them here for when and if you felt the itch to cook again!

Many thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] frsfrs:
so great ROM

but i replay some point which i think they easy to solve

- in the contact i can't add new groups

- retain X bottom to panel manager

- it really battery killer, the rom never stay w\ me more than 10 hours

- r there a way to stop the weather animation to save memory and battery if it really do that

- pleaaaaaase change the opera from 9 to 10 in ur next updating

finally thax oobly for ur great work and waiting for next 3.0

and for Howshall for his good review which is the main coz let me try this rom
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] frsfrs:
just to notes that :rolleyes:

i have manila 2.3 with 1.14 radio

and i install panel manger with some panel ( becoz i want to retain x button to x-panel manager ) and i have G-alarm ( which live w\ it in all rom i have ever use without any problem ) :D

do u think this may kill my battery :confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oTToToTenTanz:
I think developing on this one has been stopped. And now I replaced all the programs I needed 6.1 for with programs that are compatible to run on 6.5...

But it was, indeed, a very nice ROM. Thx Oobly for your effort! Maybe we see you along =)

Kon
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Oobly:
Hi all!

Sorry for not replying for so long, been on holiday and changed jobs. I don't have a cooking PC at the moment, used WinXP laptop for cooking before, using Mac at my new job.

I have my kitchen backed up and will get it running soon on my backup PC at home.

@Howshall: Thank you for your fantastic review! I will probably skip the current version of 2.5 with landscape I have been testing and try the latest version from Topaz instead. Will keep all your suggestions in mind as I cook.

Getting everything working in the contacts editor has been difficult since it makes use of so many other components of manila and I have to use different versions of many of them and some aren't compatible with each other. I will do more testing with the latest version than I have before and try to get everything working. Will also try to use newer versions of apps and Tegic's X2 keyboard.

Again, sorry to those who have been waiting for version 3.0..... I will try to post updates more frequently from now on.

On a side note, I have been using Rhodium 1.1 (like the screenshot) for quite a while now and am generally happy with it, although I think I will make a few small changes for the next version.

I am sticking with the current WM SYS and XIP for all new versions, only changing apps and manila components.

Thanks for your feedback and please continue to make suggestions for new versions.

-Oobly
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cichy3000:
Oh GOD, THANK YOU ! Oobly is BACK !!...

!!!!!!!!!!! :)

as You can see I'm happy... ;) and that's caused by using Oobly's Rhodium 1.1 ... tested many "new roms" and Rh1.1 is the fastest one from all...

waiting for more tweaks, upgrades and other great stuff :) :) :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] frsfrs:
:D welcome back Mr.Oobly :D

I just do some test in what the coz of battery killer

- I'm sure it's not G-alarm

- but i have may 5 thing i should install to support multilingual, IT'S THE COZ IN MY X1 :confused:

so now the battery is great = this rom is amazing, nothing is big deal any more :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Tri3Dent:
Yay you're back.. We all thought you abandoned us! Looking forward to your updated roms!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jezza0:
Awesome I'm looking forward to trying a WinMo 6.1 ROM with the new manila. I get so annoyed with all the pauses that 6.5 causes -- how is it not annoying for other people?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] uristic:
well this seems to be the most suitable ROM for me... tried alot of them and I don't like wm6.5 custom cooked ROMs because they're to slow and buggy.. so I found this one the best for me and the only thing bothering me is that I can't find an option to make threaded sms and that couse manilla sms client to show random sms-es not last send-recived.. is it that I don't know how to make it work or this build doesn't support this ? neither have the one with 2.5 manilla.

I'm waiting for the new realese... if there will be one, and it would be great if WM sms support threaded sms-es if this doesn't.

Thanks ;)
