[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietpodlood:
Hi xda-people

I've had a Xperia X1 for a while now and it's been great, but it's time to move on... Dunno what I'm getting yet but I want to give my X1 to my dad, thing is, the X1 isn't the easiest phone to use if you have to call someone to turn on the TV... OK so my dad isn't that bad but I want to make the phone as simple as possible. Can someone point me to a ROM that is very easy to work with. My dad won't have appreciation for Eye Candy or animations and things like that. The only things he'll use is the Phone functions(phone, SMS and contacts) and the GPS (I use TomTom, so that's sorted)

The only thing I want in the ROM is actually something I don't want in the ROM... Panels... Sure they look good, but they crash all the time and are generally rather frustrating. I currently use 826x's ROM which has the Panel button Assigned to a task manager which is great.

At the moment I'm thinking of using this ROM as it is very fast and stable and then just using Spb mobile shell with only one homepage with shortcuts to all the stuff my father would use right there.

Can anyone give me a better solution? A ROM suggestion? Any comments will be appreciated
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manishabanzadeh:
the stock rom is the best choice

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess786:
I thought you would say Jack's ROM. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfonck:
Jack's rom not a bad idea.... 3.3 Lite with VITO applications FunContact, SMS-Chat and iPhone like Winterface makes a very userfriendly phone.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristidotro:
Sense is the easiest to use interface, 826x is the best. Remove some tabs and install another dialer (X2 dialer is better than HTC. I call someone even that I don't want, because it initiate a call after touching a contact). The issues with sense is that is power hungry and dometimes laggy.

If you want pure speed, try a clean ROM(Twingle has a nice one, while Laurenti has a cleaner one, but it misses some important stuff). Titanium is a great interface, but you have to remove some lines, because ait is too crouded. Use Home customizer or Titanium customizer (don't remember exactly) to remove some panels and add some like weather and apps.

Cheers!

Touch-x 10.9 is the best

I searched around, but it doesn't look like this has been directly addressed on xda.

Archos 101IT-16 2.2.1 .71

I have tried the flash you can download from the market and the droid x version and they bih sucked in their own wonderful ways.

Just for kicks i thought I would sideload the version I could download with my nexus and it works much better than the other two. 10.1. 105.7

No root on either, went to market on nexus, dl flash, i have app installed that auto moves to sd, used astro to back it up, renamed it from pkg.apk to flash... and emailed it to myself, installed directly from email.

I don't do much that uses flash so tested what I could find. Youtube was smooth and a game off the flash demo site worked.

If you have a good site to test it on, leave a link and I will let you know how it works.
[Gen8 General] charlescaz:
Any chance of loading it on here so we can test it on our 101's ??
[Gen8 General] thefunkygibbon:
+1 :)
[Gen8 General] lolo33:
You can test this site. :D

http://waterlife.nfb.ca/
[Gen8 General] 675 Trip:
That's a pretty intense site. it works, but much choppier than my computer which still had some trouble keeping up.

The biggest problem I saw is on the computer, the rotations tried to follow the mouse. on the tablet, it seemed to think there was a bunch of input where there was none. (flicking back and forth and all around). Probably doesn't work well on other touch screen devices either.

What's a common site that uses flash?
[Gen8 General] oic0:
When you say smooth on youtube, is it immediately smooth? the flash I have on mine goes smooth if you give it about 5 seconds. I cant interact with flash videos though. "Sometimes" I manage to fastfoward. Of course full screen doesn't work, volume doesnt work,. Etc...
[Gen8 General] 675 Trip:
Mine is smooth right away, full screen works .. I just picked a random video (imagine no toilets) I expected a parody on imagine, but I was able to move the selector anywhere in the downloaded stream smoothly. when i went ahead too far, it glitched while it built a new buffer, but so does my laptop.

just tried another one and if the spool is not finished, it seems to restart the stream from my new point, but it's pretty quick. I am also using HQ mode. hmm that seems like an error with the spool bar as I can easily move back and forth between the known downloaded points.
[Gen8 General] z06mike:
For anyone who wants it, here you go!

I tried it out on my 101 and it works good for the lower quality videos. It still skips and freezes on the HQ stuff. (This is of course using the browser and not the youtube app)
[Gen8 General] e4xda:
I tried the apk from my N1 also (same version as OP) without success. I tried a youtube vid from archosfans and it was very jumpy. I then tried a video from NFL.com with worse results.

I got a video at MetaCafe to work which is a first. Break.com was a fail as was most every other site I used.

So, it appears this is a bit better as I could not get any to work using the droidx version. I hope Archos gives us a decent one soon...
[Gen8 General] macemoneta:
Adobe is the holdup; they have to provide a certified version. It seems like I've been waiting on Adobe to do stuff for about 25 years now.
[Gen8 General] charge1313:

Can anybody help?
[Gen8 General] charlescaz:
Heres the flash i use for my 101 , it plays Youtube in full screen and on HQ no problem , web page flash is sometimes a bit jerky , but in general the best i have found . Cant remember the exact source , so credit to the person i received it from .
[Gen8 General] schaze:
can you post a link of a HQ youtube video that plays smoothly?

For me nothing is played smooth except the mobile optimized pixelated videos, this is the same as with the market flash...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy p:
Disclaimer: Ive searched and searched through the forums and archives and Ive hit a brick wall.

Ive read Vibrants are nearly impossible to brick, which is awesome, however I dont think thats the case here. I had originally went from my JI6 OTA update to Obsidian 4.2. and I wanted to try a new ROM. I remembered reading its a good idea to flash back to stock between ROM flashes, so thats what I was attempting to do. Well I just got a new computer, and reinstalled everything, but didnt even think to do the stuff for my phone for whatever reason, so I was without ODIN, the drivers, and my backups.

So I got to a point where I was going to just try it with ROM Manager. When I clicked the option to "Boot Into Recovery Mode/CWR", it went to the first boot screen (the one that says vibrant and samsung) and wouldnt do anything else. So I reflashed the firmware (the 513.pit) and it came back on (this happened a few times actually, but hey we learn from our mistakes, lol).

I recently reinstalled ODIN also, and I guess I used to have v1.3 and this was v1.7, and for some reason re-partition was pre-checked, and when I unchecked it, and hit start to reinstall the firmware, it checked itself, and it was to late, I didnt want to unplug it. After this it wouldnt do anything, but I managed to get it back into DL mode, and Im pretty sure I need to re-flash the stock software, so I found it, downloaded it, unzipped it and whenever I click the "PDA" button, the files 'kernal update, META-INF, and system' all show up, but its just the folders, no files.

Also, I did have the OCLF on there, but once I reflashed the firmware, and the phone booted back up the ext2 files were no longer installed, as it didnt give me the option to uninstall them, only to install them

So here I am now, with a phone that I can barely get into DL mode, and I cant get any ROM to come up in ODIN. Its always just the folders, no files.

Thanks in advance

If you dont feel like reading all that, heres the cliffs:

Phone went from 2.1/JI6 to Obsidian 4.2/JK2 with OCLF

Backups are gone

Accidentally re-partioned phone with ODIN while reinstalling firmware

Regardless of the ROM, only the folders show up, no actual files for the ROM.

Phone wont turn back on, right now.

Need help

Edit: Odin installs the pit file fine, the phone just wont boot. I guess if nothing else, I need to either know how to get the files to show up in the folder, or something. And before anyone mentions doing anything with adb, I have spent countless hours trying to get it to install and it never recognized the JDK and wants me to DL netbean, so thats kind of not a option right now
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScratchSF:
From what I can tell, you tried to load a ROM and it didn't take, then you tried ODIN and it didn't take.

I'm not 100% sure from your description of the exact steps you've taken. But you've only mentioned the 512.pit file for ODIN. There should also be an associated .tar file that you'll include in the PDA section. I'll see if I can find some detailed instructions on using ODIN and will edit my post once I find it.

EDIT: You can follow the instructions in this posting. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

EDIT2: The JI6 ROM you can get there (in .rar format) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8511186#post8511186

EDIT3: Youtube video showing the .pit and .tar files in ODIN. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnY7P14JSWQ

Also, you can use any recent version of the stock files as long as they are .tar files. Some files (like in my second Edit) are compressed as .rar files, which will need to be uncompressed into a .tar file before you can use it with ODIN. I think WinRar, 7-Zip, PeaZip, and other tools will extract .rar files.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Most of the ROMs you'll find here on the forum are meant to be flashed through recovery, not through Odin. If you unzip a ROM and it has the META-INF, system, etc then it is meant to be flashed through recovery.

You need an Odin-flashable ROM. Get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

Then:

1. Open Odin

2. Select the .tar and .pit files from the above download

3. Make sure "Re-partition" is checked Use this only if you are flashing UVJFD from the link above

4. Plug in phone in Download mode

5. Flash it.

Thanks guys, its got JFD on there through ODIN and repartioned it, and were back to the goofy grass wall paper and the haptic feedback being turned all the way up!
[Android Software Development] majorgoose:
hi,

hope this is the right place to post this question :-)

i am trying to find a way to know how much data (3G/wifi) each process (in the /proc directory) uses, i also tried with busybox but could find the right commands.

is it possible ?

thankx !
[Android Software Development] a8ksh4:
/proc probably isn't the right place to find that info. There's lots of good stuff in there, though. :-)

I've seen apps that let you firewall other apps... any app that you want to meter, maybe you could route to a local port or ssh tunnel that you meter some other way... there are lots of greative ways to get info out of linux systems... have you come up w/ any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z General] klmsu19:
If you're running Cyanogen and having the missing phone number in your phone's about screen, here's how to fix it:

1. Go into "Settings"

2. Go into "Call Settings"

3. Scroll to the bottom and hit "Additional Settings"

4. Hit "My Phone Number"

5. Enter your phone's #

6. Go to About screen, you're number is there now

If this worked for you, hit the Thanks.

Nice multi-post :rolleyes:

This isn't a permanent fix... reboot and it's gone. Nice try, though :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Azrael3123:
This isn't really the big issue, most people can navigate into the call settings and enter their number. The problem for most is that the number doesn't stick, you have to re-enter it after every reboot.

Dear forum members,

In case you are interested about rom flashing in your device as:

- Installing a new radio version and / or

- Trying another imgfs of other official builds

then you can post your device about info, including operator info, in order to be developed.

I will also provide an analysis of the the rom:

RUU_Mondrian_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_5.51.09.06_22.30.50_RELEASE

provided by Football, in order for all to know what there is inside.

Flashing is as simple as that:

Set the device in boot loader mode

- From power on, press power off and hold volume down and wait up to tricolor screen be displayed. Release volume down.

- From power off, press power on and hold volume down and wait up to tricolor screen be displayed. Release volume down.

Connect it to your laptop/PC with a USB cable and double click on the provided ROMUpdateUtility.exe

Follow the on screen instructions as usual.

In case of emergency, say if flashing has stuck in 0% or other percentage do this:

Press and Hold the power button until the device will reboot.

Reboots to normal operation due to it is connected with the USB cable to a PC/Laptop.

Important note:

We flash a ROM when we have an initial ROM backup for our device

Ready to Help

I've been with XDA since my Tilt, through my Tilt2, countless number of friend's phones, and onto the HTC Surround. I've done very limited programming and the such and only opened a kitchen once or twice. I would really like to help in the development of making the OS a better place to be, (as opposed to complaining about it) but I do not know where to start. The Tilt2 has a new ROM out almost daily at times in high production. If someone could explain to me how we get the tools to get the ball rolling, how i can help, or general knowledge so that "users" on this board can become more involved/have a better insight of what happens behind the scenes, that would be awesome.

put framework-res.apk in androidsdk/tools

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

adb reboot

if you get read only file...go to root explorer , system/framework and click r/w, and hold down file to open to permissions ..check all, also for framework-res.apk

seems cyanogen is using the same sizes and width from the mytouch 3g, I checked the sizes and there the same on certain icons. used parts from my3g themes.

The other thing I want to point out is that after I applied this, I had to re-add my accounts (gmail and Facebook) as they were forgotten. Not a big deal, just something to note.

You should see if you can submit this to the folks at cm to be merged into the Rom.
