[XPERIA X10 General] JamesBarnes:
I know this won't go down well but here is a summary of my experiences.

I was really excited about the x10, I pre ordered it and owned it for about 6 months. I cannot in good conscience advise that you buy one. Having recently (last week) upgraded to a desire HD i realise just how poor the x10 was in so many respects. The only thing it really excels in is looks. When I bought it it was not a terrible choice, but it has only slipped further behind in my opinion. Despite the LONG awaited 2.1 update the software is still poorly implemented. SE have proven to be unreliable.

There are too many good (better) alternatives available at the same price that you should really look at them.

Hope this helped...
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Sorry but can you please explain poor? I mean what is better in the DHD than the X10? Camera, Audio quality, Speakerphone, Battery life, Build quality? or is it just smoother because of 2.2 and you think its so great?
[XPERIA X10 General] XERO_Racer:
Im pretty sure its because of 2.2 which in fact is being worked on for our phones as we speak, and also because of the sense ui which i think is ubber s***. To the OP, the desire hd is garbage with battery and camera quality and tbh as a long time htc customer with devices owned such as the tilt 2 and touch pro and the desire(for a month) the camera can never be as good as x10s and also battery is outstanding on my x10 it all depends on how you configure your device its your decision mate, u can get the x10 now or wait for the x12 either way sony makes quality built phones im not trying to sound like a fanboy here, i like htc and sony equally, like people said, try it out, people who hate it, never tried it!
[XPERIA X10 General] JamesBarnes:
Sure i can go into a little more detail...

Firstly, yes the DesireHD is fast, REALLY fast but i dont think that on its own if a fair comparison, its a newer phone.

Firstly, battery... the x10 battery is quite poor, not awful, but not great. If you use the phones features fully it will not last a day. That isnt too unusual when it comes to smart phones, but saying it has a good battery is wrong in my opinion.

The camera, part of the reason i bought the phone was the camera, and it really is not that great. The app takes a long time to open which is a real pain for "in the moment" shots and the results are below average in poor light. Not having a flash is a HUGE problem in my opinion. The camera application is hopeless too.

Timescape and Mediascape have some nice features but need to be faster. Overall though i like them.

The touchscreen, multi-touch issues aside, the actual touchscreen is quite poor. It really struggles with accuracy near the edges (more than most) and often gets "stuck" on. (I have had 3 x10 handsets, so not an isolated issue)

Sony made a lot of customisations, most of which sucked. The looked pretty (sort of) but impeded functionality and slowed things down. They have gotten slightly better in that regard but still...

As for HTC sense, i think its very good indeed. The sense launcher is not at all to my tastes, i use ADW, but the modifications HTC have made to the rest of the UI are actually helpful. Often just little things like the "magnifier" for moving the cursor in the text etc but it all adds up.

If the x10 were half the price i wouldnt have an issue, but its expensive for what it is.

To me, after 6 months of daily use, it seems obvious that this was SE's first attempt at an android smartphone, I would wait till they have had more practice or go with a manufacturer that has a better track record... Samsung, Motorola, HTC etc

Ultimately though, its a personal thing, you may fall in love with it!

Hello,

I've been looking for this app for a long while, couldn't find anything in this forum or either on the internet.

I've trying to find a GPS app for my Aria (with Froyo) that uses .img files...

The thing is that I live down in Costa Rica and the best map you can find its in a .img extension file..

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have removed rosie/sense from the Vodafone Froyo ROM. My question is: since there will be some functions that won't work without sense, is it possible to remove/hide it?

For example, scene in settings/personalize won't work without sense.

Any kind souls can explain the howto briefly (if it is possible)?

T.I.A :)

Hello,

I would like to know if there are performance impacts of using a cooked ROM with a lot of plugins even if I don't use them?

Example: I have a cooked ROM with M2D but I disable M2D to use SPB Mobile shell.

Would it be better/faster to have a lite cooked ROM without M2D or doesn't make any difference?

Hi!

I'm currently using JH2 on my bell samsung i9000m and I'm looking to install Doc Froyo's mod...

In the instructions it says I need 2e recovery, although I'm not too sure what this is... I followed the link in the FAQ and it only has files for other builds but not JH2

My question is whether or not I actually need 2e recover if I'm on JH2. And if so, where can I find it?

Thanks!

2e comes with Doc's Rom its part of the package.. and JH2 already has 2e
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Normant23:
Hey. Is there a way you can have more than one build of Android on your SD card and switch between them? For example, I like MDJ's Froyo Revolution (1.7) but I want to try out some other builds, maybe CoreDroid Evo; How would I go about this? Do I just place both build's files onto the SD card and boot Haret from the build I am interested in using? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reocej:
As a matter of fact there is! Install Exceller's auto boot app and use as many builds as your card can hold! Just place each build in its own folder and edit there corresponding startup.txt files accordingly. For example, just put MDJ's build in a folder called MDJ and CoreDroid in a folder called CORE and edit the startup.txt file in each to point to that particular installation. Exceller's boot app will let you select which build you want to boot. For best battery life though, set it to auto boot the build you want in 3 secs and then restart your phone and let it auto boot into your desired Android installation. Cheers.;)

Odin and SDK Instructions...

Part One...

Click Here to download Odin3 for Samsung Epic.

Click here to download the DK05 modem.bin and PIT files. (DK17 modem and pit in OP)

As for use of Odin, It's actually a lot easier than it seems. I'll give you a quick runthrough.

1. Download and extract Odin, as well as the Modem and PIT files. (You DO NOT flash the ROM through Odin, The ROM is flashed through Clockwork.)

2. Open Odin. At this point, you have to put your phone in download mode. To do so, simply hold the number 1 on the keyboard, and the power button at the same time. Once in download mode, plug the USB cable into the phone. Only plug the phone in AFTER Odin is up and running or Odin won't pick up the phone.

3. Navigate to where you downloaded the modem and pit files and place the PIT file where it says "PIT" and the modem.bin file where it says "phone".

4. On the left side there is an options box. Make sure that "reboot" is the ONLY thing that's checked.

5. Now you're ready to flash the new modem. (Remember, the modem does NOT need to be downloaded, it's just a bonus feature) Hit start and allow it to run through it's process. When finished, the block above the port that your USB is showing will turn either green or red for pass or fail. At this point I haven't heard of anyone failing.

When Odin is done doing it's thing, it will automatically reboot the phone for you. Then you're setup with the new modem!

Part Two...

Now, on to SDK.

Here are the download links with their respective systems.

Download SDK for Windows HERE

Download SDK for Mac HERE

Download SDK for Linux HERE

Instructions for installing SDK to your computer...

1. Download one of the SDK kits from the links provided above and extract it.

2. Place the folder somewhere that will be easy for you to access. I have placed my sdk folder in "my computer" so when i start the command prompt i can type "C:/sdk/tools" and it takes me directly to the sdk folder.

3. Next we're going to set a PATH for you. This is how it's done on windows, i'm not sure how to do it on the other platforms, but i'd imagine it's not that different.

4. Open the start menu and RIGHT click on "my computer" to bring up the right click menu. Then click on properties. When the box opens, on the left side there are some options listed. Click on the bottom one that says "Advanced System Settings".

5. When that box pops up, at the bottom there is an option that says "Environment Variables"... Click on that.

6. Now you will see two text fields. One on top of the other. You're going to click on "new" on the BOTTOM box. To make sure you're in the right one, it should say "system variables." Now it will ask for the name, and you can type in whatever you want. I've typed in SDK for ease.

7. It's also going to ask you for the variable value. This is where you're going to type the path to where you put your SDK kit. Mine is "C:/sdk/tools"

8. Now you have downloaded and installed SDK and created a path for it.

I hope this helps for everyone. If you need anything else, just let me know.
