[XPERIA X10 General] moacyrfilho:
Yeah, this bootloader lock is insane. Keeps devs away from real solutions to simple problems. I also chose X10 because it was the only 8.1 mpixel phone available with Android. Now, it seems we're going to get even better cameras from other manufacturers. Cameras that sure will have the silly capability of recognizing when to turn on the LED, for example.

I'm disappointed in many ways about Sony Ericsson. The only thing I know right now is that they won't have my money anymore.
[XPERIA X10 General] Apoena:
Ohhh.... I bet they didn't know everyone is waiting for full camera functionality... But now that you asked they will get right on it!!

Mods, please delete this useless post....
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Apoena - You're right.. it is a useless post.. but the point is accurate.. I'm bored of seeing part finished ROM's being released.. 1 complete ROM would wipe 95% of all of the others aside. It's frustrating. (incidentally, I've not installed any of the custom ROMs for exactly that reason.. I get enough from rooting and tweaking.. at least until there's a complete, commercially stable ROM available.)
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Exactly! What is the point of just releasing a new Rom, they all have the same issue with camera, but the only thing different is the look of the UI.
[XPERIA X10 General] superbrowndude:
How many of you free loaders donated to any of the Devs ?
[XPERIA X10 General] bbtheory:
IF they know everyone is waiting for full camera functionality then why do they keep releasing ROM after ROM without it??? I'd rather have one working Cyanogen than three themed ones all with the same problems. It seems the X10 devs all have some sort of ADD, they can't continue to improve one ROM and make it truly spectacular.

The bootloader discussion is most relevant. I agree that cracking it is the key to developing better things for the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] nadiros:
WoW...

As a member for almost a year I have remained almost silent, yet have closely followed the software development for this fine piece of hardware, thread by thread, reading and learning a great deal along the way.

The time, effort, and patience of our extremely talented Devs never ceases to amaze and inspire me. I have choices, possibilities, and am able to use the X10

to a much greater potential than would have ever been possible without them.

I have GRATITUDE..... ya read that word. Oh wait, words are wasted on you who can't or won't do what's required to function within this community. Things like... well.... READING ! Then maybe learn something so as to participate in your own development. Seek and find, it works believe me.

Next, maybe shed that sense of entitlement that.... for godsake ... those who

have been around and LISTENED (read) know the difference, know and understand the frikkin camera issue, know where these 'Firmwares' have come from, their limitations, and the skills to develop them, and don't expect miracles or anything overnight.

Seriously, every release is a gift, whether a 'ROM', Custom Firmware, Theme, App.... you name it. What else is a gift ? . . . The help, responses, answers to

your questions.... all FREE !

--Just couldn't keep quiet today :p
[XPERIA X10 General] DangerPanda:
People who just take already available roms to theme it, tweak it and add some apps on top of it usually don't have the ability to do what J&Z are doing. So don't expect those "Devs" to come up with a working camcorder.

The Devs that you might be able to expect a camcorder from is probably J&Z or T:

J is working on CM7

Z is working on Free X10 2.2

Are they spamming the forum with a bunch of half finished ROM? I don't think so.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
unfortunately for you, the camera is not considered a high priorty on a smartphone. the main things are constant internet/data access, emails, phone, etc. playing music is nice and taking pics is cool, but its not the basis of a smartphone.

maybe you should have bought a different phone?

not tryin to be harsh, but i have read from several devs that camera is always a lower priority for them.

tim.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
You're out of your mind. The x10 had the best camera on the market when it came out, why would someone looking for a good camera smartphone choose something other then the best?
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
What's that got anything to do with the argument? This is a free community and we are talking about an open source project. Also I'm not saying that the devs aren't working hard, but how about working together and trying to achieve something worthwhile. Rather than releasing one pointless Rom after another.
[XPERIA X10 General] lft4ded:
Incentive.

The developers are working their ROM's and themes out of their own sense of desire/wonder/interest. If they think they've done something that may be of interest to others they share it. If there's enough interest/donations maybe they'll respond by trying to develop requested features within what they are capable of with the tools currently given.

Clearly there's an audience for it. And for everyone the camera isn't the main sticking point.

"Something worthwhile" is your attempt at belittling their efforts? Its a horrible thing to do. Like music you may not like, others do. Learn to code instead of these "pointless" complaints.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Incentive.. a great choice of word. People like myself and many others on this thread would donate if they had the incentive of a complete Rom, rather than donating and then having that project abandoned(this is mainly pointed towards trip). Yes they do need an incentive to release these Roms, but you are missing the point of the OP and myself, why can't they work to complete a Rom, by sorting out all its problems?

Edit: also comments like "learn to code" so just because I'm not an expert, I'm not aloud to give constructive feedback as a consumer?
[XPERIA X10 General] Apoena:
It is very simple - nobody is pointing a gun to your head making you come here and test these ROM's. If you don't like it, stick to SE's original ROM where you have it all working. If it was easy I'm sure they would have done it already.

The point you guys are missing is: the devs don't owe us anything!! So NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DEMAND anything from them. If you like it, say thank you. If you don't, go somewhere else or buy a different phone.

Or better yet, learn to code and do it yourself if you think you are so bright to point out the obvious.
[XPERIA X10 General] Apoena:
As a consumer you are allowed to give feedback to SonyEricsson. This is a dev forum, so your contribution as a user should be to help troubleshoot bugs. Not DEMAND features. And definitely NOT complain about the lack functionalities the devs EXPLICITLY say are not working to begin with.

Once again, if you want all working, go back to SE's stock ROM. Anything else on this forum you didn't pay for and have no right to complain.
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
for me, i'll just wait patiently for the bootloader to be cracked/drivers sorted for the custom roms

(are these two statements equivalent?)
[XPERIA X10 General] thunderpossuem:
Not sure. But I'm pretty sure this Is something trip is working on and wants to have in his next release of his miui? Have a look at the thread
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
As some members pointed out, devs spent a lot of time and effort to make things work out for FREE. I personally consider rude to demand things to devs like they are the ones who sold you the phone. It's good to have constructive discussion keeping down the demanding tone.

I will leave this thread opened since I've seen good appreciations on the topic.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoldya:
Hy!

I did a stupid thing, with the following. I copyed an LEOIMG.nbh file to my formatted sd card, so I get an SPL-1.42.0000, but I can't flash any HSPL to my device, because the HSPL setup writes out USB connection error. Neighter can I flash for example the official 1.66 rom, the installation stops after 1%, and writes INVALID VENDER ID. What can I do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdul9.:
Very siple but you need lots of time for it. The rom you flashe has spl 3.03 on it and so it doesn't allow you to flash any other spl on it. What you can do is you have to search for old stock roms in the native language of your phone. As long as the phone keeps giving you error when trying to flash a stockrom with you sd card, it means you have not yet gotten the right stockrom for you phone so you have to try with different old stockroms till you get the right one.

After that. you'll be able to flash whatever you like. Hope it helps.

But remember, you need time and patience.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoldya:
Thanks, I will try it. This stockrom is 1.66?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
You can also download HSPL 4 and use it to downgrade your SPL. To do this manualy put your HD2 into bootloader by holding the volume down button and pressing the power(end) butom momentarily. Once in bootloader connect your HD2 to your computer via USB cable wait until you see USB in the white bar of thd bootloader and run the HSPL 4 on your computer. It will ask you which SPL or HSPL you wish go flash select the proper SPL version to flash to your HD2 and you should be good to go. Hint the SPL version will have zeros at the end of them and the HSPL version will not. Example SPL 2.08.0000 HSPL 2.08. Hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoldya:
I have tried that, but after a few minutes - when it tries connect to the device - the HSPL setup writes out an error message;

CRITICAL ERROR

Flow:00000001

Error code: 00000002

Description: USB Connect failed!

but i don't know why, because during the installationvI see USB in the white bar of the bootloader - the device manager on the notebook shows the connection too. :S

Try the above post by silverwind and try another USB port, another computer, and another cable if you have too. Something just does not sound right about this. I am looking at this.

Just keep trying man I think you might just have a simple problem here. ;)

Heck reset your notbook if you think it might help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoldya:
I have tried that too, and didn't solve the problem... :'(

Do you think that GoldCard method would help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chameleon846:
Hi. I have the same pronblem. I have a UK HD2 that was originally on Tmobile. I flashed 2.08HSPL using HSPL4 & upgraded the ROM to the standard WWE_3.14. A long story short... after playing around with SD Android & a few other utilities I wanted to make a clean start, so my plan was to use HSPL4 to remove the HSPL before then re-installing it & reflashing the ROM. Unfortunately I now seem to be stuck in SPL2.08.0000. HSPL4 just gives the same error:

CRITICAL ERROR

Flow:00000001

Error code: 00000002

Description: USB Connect failed!

I have also tried flashing a stock ROM via SD (renamed leoimg.nbh), but I can't get passed the bootloader displaying 'serial'.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Did you place the leoimg.nbh on the root of your SD card? Also was tbe dile you renamed originaly named RUU_signed.nbh?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chameleon846:
Yes on both counts... I've even tried a complete 'long' reformat of the SD card first using the Panasonic SD Formatter, before putting the leoimg.nbh at the root.

I'm guessing that my stupid mistake is downgrading to SPL2.08.0000 whilst having a generic version of the 3.14 ROM installed. I guess I should have downgraded the ROM to an original Tmobile one first...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdul9.:
Could i ask what operating system you guys are using cos this problem could have less to do with the phone than it has to do with the operating system on the pc. I was trying to flash some roms on some old devices using Windows 7 but this didn't seem to work but it magically worked when i used Windows xp. I hope this works.

About the wrong Vendor problem, this just means the rom flashed is not recognized by the phone as the official one, i also had that problem and after flashing a official rom in the language of my phone, the problem was solved. I used the 1.66 rom so that i could flash hspl or else it might be impossible to do so.

Or as someone suggested you might try the hspl4 (never knew that existed) but try using Windows xp and if the problem persists try reinstalling your operating system (on your pc). I know it a lot of work but its just to rule out that the problem is from the pc.

Another thing i want to make sure of is if the phone is working normally with the rom on it or is there no rom at all?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chameleon846:
Hi. Thanks for the input. The problem is getting even more frustrating! I've tried buying a new 4GB micro SD card (both are class 4). I have tried both TMO_UK_1.72 & TMO_UK_1.43. Both ROMs were downloaded from HTC using the correct phone's serial, so they should be the correct ones.

With the original SD card I can't get passed the bootloader screen & it just stays in 'serial' mode. With the new SD card it moves on to 'loading...', but then just hangs. I haven't yet seen the word 'searching' as described in the [TUT] Flash your ROM / Radio via microSD.

To clarify, the phone boots fine with the installed 3.14 ROM, but I can't get away from SPL 2.08.0000 or flash any other ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Ok here is a couple of options for you. One go to www.t-mobile.com if you have a T-Mobile HD2 and type HTC HD2 upgrade in the search box on the home screen of the website and you will find the official T-Mobile 3.14 ROM. You will have to enter your IMEI number under your battery to download it. Download this ROM and then follow the steps to flash it via SD card, hint you will have to rename the original .exe file to .zip to gain access to the .nbh file. Also you can download and run HSPL 4 on your HD2 and select SPL 3.03.0000 but the official ROM will change it to SPL 3.10.0000 if you flash via SD card
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdul9.:
Its a common problem i think if you are trying to flash a rom via sd card with a sd card higher than class two. Many here have encountered such problems.

According to your description, it will seem that it is as i suspected, the pc doesn't seem to recognize the phone and this could mean you have a defect usb cable or the useport itself is not funtioning properly. Try holding the phone in your hand with the usb in and support the usb with your hand to make sure the usb is indeed in the phone and see what happens. My usb cable is a little bit loose so when i want to flash anything, i use my hand to support it or i place my phone on a smoot surface and make sure the usb cable is in it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Ok do to some recent personal experience and some other members problem of late. I suggest both of you do this go to www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download the most recent version of WMDC wich has updated drivers in it that seems to solve somd problems with flashing via USB especially if you are using a 64 bit system. Just so both of you know unless your HD2 shows up as "HTC USB Sync" in the device manager while connected via USB while in bootlaoder you do not have the correct drivers installed and any flash will fail.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chameleon846:
T-Macgnolia & Abdul9: Thanks for that, however mine is a UK Tmobile HD2 & the .com site is only for US ones (it doesn't recognise UK IMEI's). If I go via the UK site it just links me to the HTC update site for the RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship (& also the 1.72 & 1.43 versions. I have tried all of these via both SD card & via USB. I have also tried HSPL4, HSPL3 & HSPL2. All options have failed. I have tried from Win XP Pro & Win 7 Ultimate (both 32bit) with two different USB leads. I have also tried a 3rd SD card (which ends up stalling at the 'loading' screen. The phone flashed fine prior to removing 2.08HSPL with HSPL4.

I think that the problem is not the SD card or the USB lead, but is the problem that I've now got a Tmobile (UK) phone with spl 2.08 & a WWE_3.14 ROM installed - this should obviously not normally be possible. I can't flash back to HSPL & I can't downgrade to any other ROM.

Does anyone have any idea how I can 'fool' the phone into letting me change the ROM?

I've been reading about Task29, but it says don't do this unless you have HSPL (which I can't get!). I don't want to brick the phone (because it still runs!), but I want HSPL back otherwise I can't reinstall Android on SD.

Furthermore, I don't think this is a USB driver issue, as it flashed fine before & it's occurring across different PC's & operating systems.

It's an incompatibility between a branded Tmobile with SPL & a WWE HTC ROM... I just need to get out of the loop I'm stuck in!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Hey Chameleon I know you don't think it is a problem with the drivers cause it was flashing fine before. But what I do not think you have taken into account is that you came from a older ROM and you had the right drivers to work with that ROM or the update for that ROM. But you now have a 3.14 ROM and this is a newer ROM that probably requires different drivers. I mean Microsoft did not create a new WMDC with updated drivers if it was not needed for the 3.14 ROMs as they are the most recent official ROM versions. Microsoft is the one that comes out with the new ROM versions too, the carriers just add their bloatware to them. Do you see my train of thought here? Also make sure you are usinv SD card that is 500MBPS to 8GB that is formated with Fat 32.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chameleon846:
WOW! I've got the problem sorted! This can't be a coincidence... I haven't done anything different to my PC, but I got an 'unlock' code through for my phone this morning (£5.99 on Ebay) & it worked fine. I though "why not" & tried HSPL4 again. With no other changes it worked absolutely fine this time & I now have 2.08HSPL installed.

Presumably by unlocking my my phone from Tmobile it has also removed the 'you're using the incorrect ROM' problem.

So for an upcoming April Fool's joke I want to get my N1 to look like iOS. Any suggestions as far as ROMs and themes go? Icon packs should be easy to find. I'm pretty sure I could toy around with LauncherPro to get the general look, but the key to a good April Fools is in the details. That includes the Notification bar and some of the built in apps (Dialer, email, etc.) if possible. Splash and bootanimations would help too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
MIUI would do the trick very well. Visually it's pretty much iOS copy.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyboardr:
MIUI always struck me as more of a TouchWiz clone than iOS, but I guess with some tweaks it would work... Probably a better start than CM at least. I guess it'd be too much to try to get the trackball to work like the app button on iOS and make the other buttons do nothing...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyboardr:
Scratch that last post. I didn't notice they've completely moved over the widgets and everything. MIUI should work nicely (assuming I can get the Notification bar done properly). For the button trick I'm thinking of just playing with the key bindings to get that to work and using QuickDesk for the double tap functionality. Anyone know what their app button does on a long press?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
On iPhone4, if I'm not mistaken, it brings up the task manager.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyboardr:
I thought that was a double tap. QuickDesk has a "QuickPanel" that shows the recent apps. If I just have that with no icons on the rest of it, it'll look really similar. Close enough that even an iOS user might not notice the difference (which is the ultimate goal)

I'm down to two problems, the first being much more important: getting the Notification Bar to look like their Status Bar, and getting the icon jiggle when the launcher goes into edit mode(I'm using MIUI).
