I'm running stock rom. Deleted all the apps that came with it including transformers. I got the phone the day it came out. I've had one major freeze where I had to soft reset, and a couple small ones where it just started working again. I'm happy with the stock rom but I'm still window shopping for custom ones. Every time I see one I might use I see a different one I like too. Its so hard to choose!
[HD2 General] FreakyFerret:
I've just spent a week testing out various custom ROMs. There are some that just plain don't work, lock ups, etc. There are some that work fine, but don't really add anything other than pretties and the like. Stuff that's usually easy enough to get seperate. Some do offer later versions of Windows Mobile, but I'm not seeing _major_ improvement or "must have" features of those.

There is one thing I can say about all the custom ROMs. I purchased a "data sync and charge" cable from Orion Gadgets. I couldn't get it to work for data at all. Then I realized I had only used it with custom ROMs. Just a few minutes ago, I reflashed the shipping T-Mobile ROM back onto my HD2. The Orion cable works for data flawlessly now.

So, while none of the custom ROMs have made me go "Wow!", they have all failed to work with the extra cables I've purchased to use with my HD2.

Hi!

This is interesting information for owners of the Xperia X2 that want to change the device language to Spanish, and for others who want to study a new ways to change it to other languages.

The people in a Spanish forum have managed to unbrand a Spanish Vodafone based X2 using a trick to foil SEUS: the way is aborting the phone custiomization process, and then, installing manually a lot of CABs. This method also is useful to change the language from Stock English to Stock Spanish MR1.

I've already tried on my English based X2 already Updated to MR1, and it worked. Now I have a Generic Spanish X2 with MR1 installed.

The curious thing is that, this Spanish Stock ROM is far more stable that the same R1BA024 in English. I've used the phone with the original MR1 English for a couple of days an it was a real mess. But, this Spanish ROM is a little faster and it hasn't give me so many problems. The phone is really more stable (not perfect, but nearly close).

This is the link (all credits goes to dreamcrawler):

The instructions are of course in Spanish.

Cheers.

You need Flash Hard-SPL first. Then Flash ROM with another language.

But there is not any Hard-SPL for X2 yet.
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
I think that you don't even bother on read my message.

I already changed the language on my X2.

Since its me who made it i guess ill take the task of translating it :D

TUTORIAL: DEBRANDING AND UPDATING YOUR XPERIA X2

1º Open SEUS, start a new update. EVEN IF IT SAYS YOU HAVE LATEST VERS, UPDATE IT ANYWAY.

2º ONCE IT REBOOTS, CALIBRATION SCREEN APPEARS. RIGHT AFTER CLICKING ON THE CROSSES, IT WILL APPEAR THE SONY ERICSSON LOGO, AND IT WILL START APPLYING THE CABS. PUSH THE RESET RIGHT after it starts applying (hidden behind the stilus, opening the battery cover).

3º After rebooting, the Sony Logo will appear again asking to retry. Press NO.

4º Now you will need a pack with all the cabs from the language firmware you want to change & update your X2. No matter if they are from the old firmware or the last one.The important part is they must come from the firmware with the language you want to turn your cellphone into. you can find how to extract said cabs here:

(damn forum, it wont let me post a link, in this same forum theres a post explaining how to extract roms, seek for it)

5º Once you have the cabs on your SD Card, you have to install them all, one by one. Once you are done, restart the cellphone.

6º Start SEUS again, run another update, force it if it says you have last version and you will get your X2 updated on your desired language.

I also made a tutorial to make your x2 stable, run it with SPB shell 3.5.3, and many other fixes. tell me if interested so i can translate.
[XPERIA X2 General] biglaur:

I can't find any way to extract the cabs from the x2 firmwares(extractcabs.exe doesn't work).Can you please help by providing a tool for that or the cabs(english version firmware).

[XPERIA X2 General] shanghai:
Sorry, how to force SEUS update it anyway? It said "you have the latest software"....
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
It's not necesary that you force SEUS update on step 1. You can simply hard reset the device under Settings to erase all phone's content.

Then, you can go to step 2.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X2 General] shanghai:
Thank you very much for advice-)))

But the thing is - few days after device hard using I got a stupid decision delete all pre-installed soft. And after rebooting I can only see the SE logo. I can put device into boot-loader but everytime SEUS says "You have the latest vers...etc"...

Bought it in China so I think the only solution is to wait official MR2 update for X2 for China.

Because X2 didn't official come to Chinese market yet.
[XPERIA X2 General] johmut:
X2 Language Swedish <--> English

I need to do exactly the same as biglaur did. Have Swedish X2, Need English X2.

Can you share (links to) the English CABs ? also the Swedish CABs ?

It's a company phone so I might need to restore it to original.

Language from Czech to English

Very new to the forums here.

Phone: Xperia X2

Want to change the language on all of the programs from Czech to English.

I have tried to read as many posts as I could about this and people keep talking about putting X2 roms on their X1. I have not found any step by step instructions anywhere on how to change the language other than this thread and I am still unable to understand how to do it/get the proper programs/roms/tools etc. . . I have downloaded what I thought would be the step by step instructions but apparently you need special programs to open them up as well. Sorry to sound like s 3 year old but I am totally new to this and really want to use/read/understand the language on my new Xperia X2 phone.

My family bought me a Czech language Xperia X2 that I need to change to English. I am getting the complete run around from SE(Sony Ericsson) Europe as well SE USA."The phone was sold in Slovakia and was meant to be used in Slovakia. SE is not responsible for changing the language. . . " yadda yadda boolcookies.

Questions:

1.) Is there a complete step by step process (for idiots like myself) with all of the downloads/instructions/programs/extractors needed to change the language to English?

2.) Does the language change affect ALL of the programs on the phone: Windows Mobile Office, Internet Explorer, CNN tracker, Panels, etc. . . Or are there specific roms that i need to find for each program on the phone? Where are these roms?

3.) If I succeed to perform the necessary steps to change the language from Czech to English will I be able to perform future SE phone updates?

Sorry to be so new to this but I can use some help if someone is willing to offer it.

[XPERIA X2 General] gbajzelj:
this is great! all i have instaled on my phonr is windows 6.5 that cames with the mr1 firmware (SE buggy stuff not installed) i installed just the SE dialer, SE comm manager and SE taskmanager. I also installed the SPB shell 3.5.3 and i have it as main menu. oh i also installed the X2 camera app from mr1 asn the SE flash deployment. internet settings were needed to set manualy bat that is no problem.

So far the performance is amazing. that SE stuf it just prings the phones performance down. I dont have slideview, dont have panel manager. as i da basic WM 6.5 and SPB 3.5.3 (and some apps for internet and file management.)

X2 performance for the first time in 3 month since i got the phone reminds me on my X1.

Ty again so much

I have updated to the latest version, canceled the customization and installed the extracted cabs as explained above and afterwards reflashed.

But unfortunately same language as before (Swedish) instead of English.

Did i miss a cab or something ?

[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
Im going to try and chagne my generic_SG to generic_UK after hearing its better.

So this is the steps Im going to try:

1) Do steps explained in first step up to the retry but and say NO

2) Download R3A UK rom

3) Extracted cabs from UK rom on SD card

4) On clean WM install ALL cabs? (Is this necessary?)

5) Update on SEUS again, say YES

6) Hopefully it will update it to generic UK

7) Once upgraded to MR2, clear phone memory again and repeat steps from post 1

8) Install my own personal cabs from R3A rom

Please correct me if im wrong anywhere, cheers.

Can someone help with the extraction instructions? step by step?

I've followed whats writted but dont end up with the same 3 files or cab files that everyone says. I get an error during extraction too.
[XPERIA X2 General] SancheSZ:
Possibly off-topic here, but...

Re-flashed my device from Russian to GENERIC_UK MR2. I had to reasons - just i like English interface more, and MR2 is not available for Russian firmware yet.

Everything is good, except hardware keyboard usage. Unfortunately I cannot switch input language with special hardware button now. If I switch it with button on software keyboard, hardware keyb. uses the selected language normally (I mean I can use hard. keyb. with both English and Russian layouts, but layout can be switched only through software keyboard).

Any ideas how to fix it?
[XPERIA X2 General] swesky:
i think theres no hard spl so how can change the lang.
[XPERIA X2 General] SancheSZ:
I found which CABs are responsible for FW language setting (for SEUS):

something like

zzz020_content.cab

and/or

zzzzSEUS_VersionInfoCUSEN.cab

They copy 3 small text files containing FW version info to the \Windows folder:

swVersionCust.txt

swvercust.txt (actually the copy of above)

swVersionProduct.txt

Other CABs don't differ between language versions or don't contain special information.

After that I extracted mentioned text files from CABs and edited them - I put there the version info from my Russian ROM DeviceInfo screen information (I took a screenshot of it before re-flashing to UK). After that I copied them to \Windows, overwriting present files (without hard reset) folder and tried to re-flash with SEUS. For some reason it didn't work, I got the UK ROM again, probably because no hard reset was made before.

Made a second attempt: on clean ROM installed some of the CABs (from UK FW, I didn't have other CABs). I installed only small CABs and didn't two above mentioned CABs. After installing CABs I copied 3 modified txt files to \Windows. And it worked this time - I managed to restore my original MR1 Russian ROM.

Probably only one of three text files makes the trick (or only one of two CABs), but I had no time to experiment further.

Xperia X2 - Change of Language - Is it a hoax ?

Hi All,

When the method to change the language on the SE X2 was published on this forum, I thought it was the best thing next to sliced bread....

However, by now I know my way around with the X2 and have tried several attempts to run through the procedure without success. It has taken me hours to do hard-resets, interrupt the CAB installation, install all the cabs one by one, put the device in update mode, force the update once more, ....

Only to find out that my Swedish X2 remains a Swedish X2 and will probably never be anything else than a Swedisch X2 :-(

swVersionPlatform.txt is marked as a read-only and system file and contains in my case the Swedish settings. No way to change that file. Even if one could change that file, the SPL specifies the language code for the device that later on triggers SEUS to update to the specific language version only.

My conclusion: As long as there is no HardSPL for the X2, there is no solution.

If anyone has been able to pull this off, I would like to hear more about it.

For me it certainly didn't work out as expected. Can't really see how it could have when looking back at the procedure now. I feel like my leg was pulled.
[XPERIA X2 General] Milow:
@johmut:

This is how it worked for me when only SW and UK were available a few days ago. I had a SG version. I just used the instructions that others here already gave. But I only installed two cabs and it worked. But I also had to change the SEUS software on my PC. That seems to be important as well.

1) Downloaded the R3A Generic_UK Cab pack from : megaupload.com/?d=35LZ05OO

2) Ccopied only those two cabs from the full pack

zzzzSEUS_VersionInfoCUSEN.cab

and

zzz020_content.cab

to my storage card on the X2. All other cabs are not required at all I believe!

3) Cleared the phone memory located in Settings -> System -> Clear phone memory

ONCE IT REBOOTS, CALIBRATION SCREEN APPEARS. RIGHT AFTER CLICKING ON THE CROSSES, IT WILL APPEAR THE SONY ERICSSON LOGO, AND IT WILL START APPLYING THE CABS. PUSH THE RESET RIGHT after it starts applying (the reset button which is hidden behind the stylus after opening the battery cover).

After rebooting, the Sony Logo will appear again asking to retry. Press NO.

Phone now starts in basic mode.

4) Removed SEUS from my PC and loaded a new SEUS from UK page on my PC !!!

5) I deleted this folder now: C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db

6) Installed the zzz020_content.cab from the storage card.

7) Pressed the rest button again.

8) Updated via SEUS again, it might or might not say you have the latest firmware already, but I said "YES" to install anyway

Now it loads a 126.8MB file! (If it is 123.1Mb or 128MB it is still MR1 I believe).

But the 126.8MB file is the Generic UK MR2 firmware! And my SG version is now officially a UK version!

Like others I cracked the screen on my beloved nexus one. keys and this phone is a pocket obviously dont mix

So i jamp straight on ebay grabbed a screen for £35 and sat down to repair screen.

Took one look at phone and thought better of it and headed to my mates phones shop who is quiet good at repairing phones.

we spent an hour stripping it all out from the back before finally been able to put the new digitizer (screen) in,

then whilst putting it all back together we managed to damage 2 of the stupid little copper antena's on the bottom of device,,cellular radio antennas to be precise. we tried to solder them back onto the circuit board but did'nt work...

now i gotta a £400 phone which works perfectly but only gets a cellular signal outside but not inside. and consequently its on sale on ebay for parts for someone because the only place to get them from is HTC,,,,and they literally rape you for them.

and me been me i'd rather buy something else after seening how cheap tacky bits of made in china rubbish they put in this handset.

what the phone can do is awesome...but seriously guys if you ever get to see one of these stripped down you'll soon loose faith in HTC's components. they are cheaper than cheap...almost to the point you cannot handle them physically...a total disgrace!

rant over lol

What's amazing is how people like yourself break a phone and then blame the manufacture, get over yourself. YOU broke the phone YOU TRIED to fix it when you should have sucked it up and sent it back to HTC to get it fixed. Probably cost you what, $150. You have no one to blame but yourself. I need an otterbox so when I get pissed I can throw this thing against the wall. theni when / if it breaks I can start a thread on how cheap the cases are made because they are from China. ok. rant done. lol.

Speaking of components can we talk about the "flash" on this camera? Its really shameful. If they are going to sell a phone in a way that doesn't afford the consumer the opportunity to try it out (in a store) that's fine but its components really need to work. I shouldn't be put through the embarrassment of maneuvering my wife for 10 minutes trying to get a picture that isn't completely black only to be forced to use my mothers 6 year old pink Casio. Thanks HTC, you're awful. I wish Google, which is awesome, would head over to Sony or Samsung and give me hardware worth at least $300. Hell id even pay upwards of $575 for something like that.

Is this possible, the contacts pics are so low-res that during a call, when I look at the avatar it looks blurry.. Is there way to change this..

Only happens for contacts whose pics were dl'd from fb of course..

My regular contacts with pics from the gallery are fine

Edit: I found an app called 'facebook sync; from market it syncs your contacts info with their pics on facebook.. and it does this in higher resolution that the stock facebook sync method..

also it seems to have fixed the contact pics not showing up in google voice.. everything is smooth now :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
Yeah that's because the source material from Facebook for those contact pics is poor. I've experienced that problem. The only way to fix it would be to manually assign better pics to your contacts.

Tried to load the official ROMs from the forum here, but both failed. Using a Telstra 9193 on AT&T. Can someone point me in the right direction? Do I need to load HSPL and a cooked ROM or is there something out there that's 'generic' I can use?

Sorry, new to the HD2. Already been through the ringer with my TyTNII but this is a new ballgame all over again, since I now have an overseas phone that's been flashed to another carrier.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you need hspl from the HSPL thread. NOT HSPL2, it wont work.

You need spl 1.42.0000 on your device to instal hspl, so if you have a later spl, 1.66.0000 for example, you need to find an earlier telstra rom to downgrade the spl.

Here, start reading.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BillTheCat:
I'm not a noob, already SPL'd my TyTNII, just needed to know which ROM was closest to the HTC OEM but unbranded from Telstra so I could start there and then begin noodling with what cooked ROMs I wanted to try.

Thanks for the pointer, I'll run HSPL and go from there. Just thought there might have been a generic HTC 9193 ROM available directly from HTC.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
the model doesn't make any difference (well, at least in your and my case, its only tmous users that have any pitfalls :) )

for the plain roms (look in the official roms folder, first post first link is a great start) look for wwe htc in the name.there the unbranded ones, and go from there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BillTheCat:

What am I doing wrong here?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BillTheCat:
Sam, I"m stumped. I must be doing something wrong. I have SPL 1.66.0000 on my phone which according to the instructions should be fine for the current HSPL, but it refuses to load indicating 'incorrect product id'. I've also tried downgrading the SPL version via the card by extracting and renaming the .nbh file and copying it to the card, but when I hard reset, the phone goes directly from the bootloader to the screen which prompts me to reset the phone, rather than any option presented that enables me to load a different SPL.

I'm stumped. The standard generic WWE ROMs won't load, I can't get HSPL to load and I can't force it via the card. I must be doing something wrong but just can't seem to pin it down, other than the usual 'keyboard-to-chair-interface'. I never had anywhere near this trouble flashing my TyTNII.

What are your thoughts?

Here's what's on my bootloader screen:
