[XPERIA X1 General] HackitZ:
Hi everyone, I'm writing this a guide for me and maybe it will help someone in the future.

I updated my rom maybe a year ago and never really cared for my xperia, but for the price was kind of stuck with the phone. i was running a 6.1 rom and winmo 6.1 was just to? well old. My xperia is from rogers and the reception has always sucked and the blue tooth reception was crap, and the battery life sucked. But I lived with it as I needed a phone and was tired of flashing and trying new roms.

The great news is I have been looking for a new rom the last few days and came across Gtrab's 6.5 pure [SEX1 Release 5 R5.07].

All I can say is WOW this rom and now my phone rocks!!!!!

Battery life is great, reception is through the roof, full bars in the basement now and before had none. Don't let me forget to tell you about the speed, can you say Lightning!!!! Yes I know that sounds corney but WOW is my phone fast now.

Ok let me move on to why I have started this thread, and no I don't have a connection to Gtrab, I just want to let people now who are looking to flash or what to add to this rom what my experience has been as I have now flashed it 2 times as there are a few cabs that will mess it right up.

Here are the cabs i have used and work flawlessly;

1. COffice_Titanium_Plugin_by_JukEboXAuDiO.cab, great addition to office.

2. ENU-Chobit Company SmartLock 2.0F.CAB no need for slide to unlock, this uses the built in slider to unlock.

3. Microsoft Facebook 1.1.0.17.cab, Name says it all.

4. pocketrar393.exe, not shure everone will use this but it's free.

5. PowerRadio 2.4.0.2.CAB, Great radio for the xperia.

6. SEX1_Batt_Enhancer_XPERIA_v1.cab, shows the battery in 1% increments.

7. contact favorites, adds a fav contacts to the home page.

8. guap's_SE_LOGO_for_WM6.5_by_gtrab_v1.cab, changes the sart icon to a SE icon, nothing but eye candy.

the ones you want to stay away from are;

1. SEX1 Comm Mgr.cab, this killed my blue tooth, after the install blue tooth no longer connected to windows.

2. AnX1 tsowentaskbar3v1.4 SE vB1.3, I love to change the icons and this one killed my battery. It was the cause of my battery draining in less than 2 hours, really my battery went from 100% to 20% in less then 2 hours. So I have yet to find another icon package to work with this rom but if and when i find one I'll post the name.

Ok this is all I have so far, i hope this helps someone and as I find more out about this rom I'll add to the post. Again thanks for Gtrab's work as he has made my xperia kick as for the first time.

I encourage anyone to add or make suggestion to the comments I have made and by no means am I trying to upset anyone and everyone's hard work is appreciated, as I know some of the cabs are intened for specific roms, it's just hard to find out what will and will not work.

Out for now.

Hi mod's, I just want to first apologize for this post, I was just afraid it would get lost in Gtrab's thread.

I do want to let you know that if this is inappropriate I can delete this post, and if i must my deepest apologies, the rom just got me all worked up.

Also if it is not appropriate for me to post my wallpapers like this please let me know as I love to work on images and plan to add a lot more including some task bar icons I have used and made for older se phones, like my old c905, I have a set of 9 icons for the old se java menu that i'm working on changing to work with winmo, at that point I will most likely ask if some one could incorporate them into a working cab file.

Hell I might even take a stab at it myself. I was into the se phones a few years ago and bought Cruiser back in the day when it cost an arm and a leg, this is the first time in a long time i have had this much interest in modding and tweaking phones, I thank or maybe blame Gtrab for this.

Dont mean to be so long winded, just don't want to cause any waves in the forums as I like it here.

HackitZ out!!!
