[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Yay 4 Juggs:
:DSo as all of you may know i had some complications with a recent back surgery and have not been able to do much of anything...well I'M BACK!!! and i want to be better than ever!!! I have created a senseless base 2.2 that works really really well now i just want to jazz it up a bit...i have 2 options i am considering...purple/green blend or a straight red theme...

I know there are tons of different red...purple...etc themes out there but im looking to start from the ground up with this...right now i just dont have the energy to sit and mod files for 10 hours a day...especially the .9's so if you want to be part of the next big thing please reply here maybe we can get a team of themers to get in on this to create a superfantasical theme!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SpyderPalo:
What would it take to be a themer... I'm detailed in all I do... OCD...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] furrelkt:
dependent on time, i can help out. I am pretty good with photoshop/gimp. also did some .9's although those are more of a PITA.

:D

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tiffany84:
I would love to see the green and purple.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Yay 4 Juggs:
Yeah but not stock green...
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
If there was no dev community so you were only able to use the stock firmware, with no customizations or fixes (jit, etc...). Would you still like the phone? How would it change how you feel about it?

I personally think that I would hate my x10 if I was forced to stay on stock, as it is super laggy and buggy...
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Without JIT I think I will be a bit annoyed by the speed of my X10, but will try to adopt myself with it since I tried the stock 2.1 without JIT and it was little okay, won't be that great though. But since I'm a computer scientist I know that I would implement the JIT myself so I don't think it will affect me that much.

I'm currently satisfied with the performance of the stock with JIT with mediascape and without timescape.

I will agree about the laggy part, but disagree with buggy because I didn't find bugs yet, but that's me
[XPERIA X10 General] hemo1001:
many thanks to Z for the 2.2 and jit..... and j for his hard work trying to customize 2.3 for us... otherwise the best thing about the stock was mediascape and camcorder.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
See it is this line of thinking that makes me question SE... The x10 is a great phone when modded, but if you were to own it completely unmodified (say you didn't know how), I think it would be a horrible experience..
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Think of it this way, You don't miss what you don't have.

When I forst got my phone, I LOVED it, it was my first smartphone(and SE's too :)) and it was great. But when I learned about all these customizations I could do, I could never go back to stock.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
True, since its their first Android device they are inexperienced but that's not an excuse. However I think most of the devices are the same when they first come up, talking about devices 1-2 years ago giving exception to HTC.

New devices now come with better optimizations from stock (samsung,SE,motorola,HTC)
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I still think you'd notice how laggy it was
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Can't deny that, 2.2 is always faster than 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Oh definitely...

I think SE should have considered maybe timescape and mediascape being more optional from the very start, once they noticed how majorly they hogged memory.

A lot of 2.1 firmware versions from other companies still run pretty well, a lot better than SE's version.

I just can't imagine being stuck with it :S Hell, many people don't even have dual touch yet!
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
After the latest update I think SE made noticeable improvement. It never was as bad for me as you describe and I haven't noticed any bugs. My first random reboot and force closes came after installing 2.2. Just rooting and uninstalling bloatware was good enough for me. However, after enabling JIT mine responded almost instantaneously and was smooth as butter. I didn't think it could be any faster than that until I tried 2.2.

I don't understand how you can say that the stock ROM is horrible. What's going on in your life that half a second is unexceptable? Maybe it's an age thing, because most of us over 30 that grew up during the PC revolution know what lag is really is. What you call laggy is nothing compared to the days of upgrading our PCs in increments of 8mb of RAM. The first time I heard the world Gig was in the movie "Back to the future" when the professor needed 1.21 gigawatts of power to time travel. You don't like waiting a second or less? Try 10 to 15 seconds minimum. Let's remember 90% haven't hacked their phones at all, and the X10 is fairing pretty well in the "real world".

I am most thankful for the devs and xda. You think you have it bad? If it wasn't for them I wouldn't even have my X10a anymore. My provider, AT&T, didn't even update to 2.1.
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
million X10 are sold....less 500-1000 may have modded their phones......still thousands have the stock ROM,may be 1.6 with no dual touch too..!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I'm 28 so I'm not much younger than you...

Stock was very laggy, especially in comparison to most high end (which look at it's price, it was/is high end) smartphones out there... with it's specs, you don't expect that kind of lag. Read reviews, comparisons, etc... I'm not the only one who thought that.

You can't compare it to phones years before and say "well I remember when....". The zeitgeist (spirit of the age) dictates that we will judge things based upon the relevant facets of comparison at that particular timeframe.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I dunno what to tell you guys... I've tried almost all the custom ROMs out there, with all the themes, and I've always come back to stock. I'm willing to live with the lag (which is considerable) if it means I get to keep my Timescape and social phonebook. Not like I really need them, just that I'm really used to them. I will, on occasion flash the newest custom ROM just to see, hope, that it is completely working, rather than half of the functions not working. And the very next day I will find a need for something that isn't working, and back to stock.

The first 2.1 stock ROM was extremely laggy, as well as the first 1.6 ROM. SE made improvements to the speed on both occasions, but I still think opening up your phonebook shouldn't take 5 seconds, and opening the camera app shouldn't take 10 seconds. Just sayin...
[XPERIA X10 General] skychaos:
do u guys ever experienced laggy in ninjump when mod to 2.2?
[XPERIA X10 General] skydirt:
This.

For most users, the stock is fantastic (2.1, 54 baseband MT version) It's only the very small % of people here who care, and a even smaller % of those people here who even use a custom rom.

I love the dev's here. They do awesome work and can create beautiful work out of ****. Very talented. I also love custom roms for my devices. That being said, I like custom roms WHEN THEY WORK.

So far, we don't have any roms that work fully. If you use a custom rom, you have to sacrifice many features in order to run 2.2 or 2.3. To some, myself included, a lot of these features are must haves on my device. Until one of the DEV's can make a rom that includes the following working, stock will win out..

-Camera

-Video recording (hd)

-video playback

-Wifi tethering

-Video streaming, including youtube etc

-facebook or other social apps.

These types of features are not working in all of the roms available to us. Now, some of the above may work on some of the custom roms, but every one has at least 2 of the above mentioned NOT working in their custom rom.

Unfortunately most of non-working features are seen by the devs as minor issues, and backburner problems.

""only" camera not working"

"Camera not working, and other "minor" features"

etc

Sorry guys, but these things are "must" haves on a lot of peoples personal devices. In order to run 2.3 I have to have no camera, wifi, video streaming, social apps.. etc? Stock will win every time.

I have a beautiful "smart phone" with awesome features so I can use them. Not so I can break the awesome features it has and make it a "dumb phone." just so I'm running 2.3 which is so00o much faster then 2.1, so I can check my mail faster?:(

Again, love the devs and their work and still praying for the day that all awesome features of our phones and android are working on a custom rom.

To the OP's original questions: Would you still like the phone? How would it change how you feel about it?

Yes, the x10 since it's 2.1 and new MT update, it is much improved and awesome. I love it. It's the best looking device out there, feels the best sitting in your hand then any other device.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Free x10 and wolf breaks xm both work fantastic and the camera is better than on stock rom..

I would be embarrassed to show people my phone on stock.. "look at this guys! Oh wait ten minutes til it works properly..."

If it was great for most people then why are ratings and reviews so poor? Go look at amplicate or cnet and read what people think..
[XPERIA X10 General] skydirt:
Funny you should say that as I was embarrassed when one of my friends asked my at the pub to take a pic of him and a celeb that we ran into.

"I can't" " why not, you're phone has an awesome camera" " well no, i have a custom rom installed, the camera doesn't work" " that's dumb bro"

Or when a few days later I was rear ended. We got out to take a look at the damage. " dude, take a pic" " I can't, remember? camera not working" " dude..."

That being said, Wolf's rom is awesome. edited. Was thinking of something else as 2.1. It's still awesome and IMO the absolute best option from the new stock.

feex10 rom is 2.2, but again, lacking features and has broken elements.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
What? Wolf's is 2.2 dude...

the ONLY thing not working in either in camcorder (and it works with a 3rd party app)

The camera in both is better than stock
[XPERIA X10 General] x10van:
I went back to SE's 2.1 when they updated... couldn't believe how much better the phone is with Z's beta 4. Not even comparable. (imho)

If there was no dev community for this phone, I definatly would have of sold it.

But now I love it :D
[XPERIA X10 General] kylec:
I would still love the phone personally. For me the lag was bearable (mostly). Also my carrier have stated they don't do firmware updates, so I would still be stuck on the original 1.6 R...14 firmware haha. Even back then the phone was still quite usable for me. You can't miss what u never had. But in saying that, I love my cm6 rom :) lol
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I really do love the stock 2.1 ui. With all the crap i cleaned out and installed JIT i barely have any lag. Everything opens and closes promptly. The scrolling is smooth. My phonebook is quick to open as is the camera.

I think se ui is the nicest to look at...but when i flashed wolfbreaks cm rom it was that much faster and smoother. But certainly not as "pretty". Anyways, i dont care much about video recording...which is the only thing that hasnt worked on wolfs rom....but i do care deeply about camera quality as i snap tons and tons of pics a day of just my daughter alone. So i have gone out of my way for weeks to prove to myself where i can find the best camera app....freex10 and wolfs cm rom are the best. So, since wolfs rom is better (just my opinion) than freex10 thats what i use. I sacrifice a nicef looking ui (se) for a much better quality camera (wolfs rom).
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
The camera is better on beta4? What? Serious question. I only spent a couple minutes with it, but zoom didn't work, and there are only a few settings, options, and no camcorder. I'm sure if the camera was better we wouldn't be complaining about the camera.

BTW, I am 37. When I was upgrading my PC in increments of 8mb of RAM it was 1995. You were 12 and I was finishing college. Wow, I'm old. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I believe this is the case for every single smartphone. Communities like this one, extend our phones' capabilities. Of all the mobiles I'be had since 2004, I can't imagine using even one of them without mods, tricks, programs and ROMs available here. ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] swedishcancerboi:
My wife has the X10.....she gets jealous at my Captivate running 2.2, but she won't let me flash anything to her phone! She's still running stock 1.6....ugh.....it's not even my phone and it drives me insane!

Sure would love an update over here AT&T.......
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I disagree.. many of them run pretty good. HTC Sense, for example.
[XPERIA X10 General] zhoustanley:
I love custom roms ...but stock 2.1 wasn't that bad. Not as smooth but definitely not that slow.

Mad love for xda-devs though! !
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
The quality of pictures is certainly better than SE stock. Your not that old, im 30 :(
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Not going to happen with AT&T. They already declared EOL. Maybe she's skeptical about downloading firmware from a hacker's website. You should explain to her that what you want to do is "unbrand" her X10, so that it lifts all the restrictions AT&T put on her phone, and it will allow her to get the official SE firmware. It is no different than AT&T customers that bought their X10 from another source. No need to mention "flash firmware from xda". Then flash an older firmware like 2.0.A.0.504 or 2.0.2.A.0.24. After that connect to SEUS or PC Companion and get the official update. If there's ever a warranty issue you can always rebrand.
[XPERIA X10 General] eizonuts:
yea when friends ask me if the X10 is a good phone, I tell them it's only good if they enjoy toying around with settings. For a care-free phone I told them the Iphone is a great alternative. no jokes
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Then how come the HTC forums are filled with ROMS and modules and other various hacks? Come on... Like all things in life, mobile phones always have the capacity to get better! :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
i ve seen lot of dumb girls using Xperia X10i with no apps installed..

they just use the phone right out of the box....they havent even updated it to 2.1

and they have no idea whats Handcent.

ignorance is bliss...lol...or maybe a torture?..because their phone must be so buggy
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
So the fact that there are lots of roms means sense doesn't run well??

That makes a lot of sense :rolleyes:

I never said people might suddenly top wanting more, all I said was that not all custom skins are laggy...
[XPERIA X10 General] swedishcancerboi:
I think her problem is that she sees how many times a week i flash my phone (i'm a member of Flashers Anonymous) and she thinks she will have to do the same thing. Maybe if i tell her it is this or nothing she will relinquish her grip.

I can.t say i have followed this phone.s thread all that close since it ia not my phone. I just check it every once ina while to check for update status. Guess i got my answer. I'll just tell her i'm flashing the official....

[XPERIA X10 General] compumasta:
I'm not sure what generation the HTC hero and/or Eris are but those sense phones do not run ok. They have serious issues and no fixes from HTC for them. Combine that with horrific battery life and you got yourself a clear winner for smartphone of the year...

[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Lol the hero is two years old.. It was my last phone though and ran great actually.
[XPERIA X10 General] compumasta:
Must've been lucky ;). Anywho for your original post I can say that I would feel rather constricted without the guys here at xda as I'm on att so no update ever for me. I felt constricted out of the box because I wanted to download stuff off the internet such as apps but att locks that out. All on all its a great phone for the 30 bucks I paid for it new.

Sent from my Delorean using a flux capacitor!
[XPERIA X10 General] sidneylopsides:
Ive been using this forum since I had the x1, and I used loads of roms on that, but all ive done to my x10 is stick world generic, and try JIT. Im back to the latest stock Rom, and other than using the arc launcher, its all stock, and im happy with it.

The only thing I want is a faster camera.

Now I know im getting an arc im going to try some roms on this and see how it goes...

Sent from my C64 using a flux capacitor.
[XPERIA X10 General] arj154:
anyway, tbf i think i wouldve sold my phone for a htc desire or something. I was very close to doing so but since i got 2.2 on it its been vastly improved.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_scotsman:
Keep posts on topic....
[XPERIA X10 General] bra1n0uk:
It just all comes down to what ppl neeed and want the most. I myself recorded 2 videos in just under one year (most that time on stock). However i love taking pics. So for me wolfs cm rom is best.

Alot of ppl cant live without video camera so for them stock is best.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrljlamon:
i would have returned this phone without all these mods.

no questions asked.

and replaced it with a captivate.
[XPERIA X10 General] misterwaugh:
I bought it straight out on ebay before I ever knew about customizing roms and this dev community. I think I wouldn't have even realized how crappy the stock rom was (att 1.6) until I did research online and tried a custom 2.2 which blew 1.6 out of the water lol. But I really do love these devs :)
[XPERIA X10 General] KelvinMead:
And for years this is how you used your phone. No apps, no colour screens, stock firmware, no flashing... and they ran better, with longer battery life!

My phone didn't go slow until about 6 weeks into the contract... and then it was too late, so the neverending search for apps to "make life better"...? More like "make my phone acceptable"

But personally this has been a battle since smartphones came out... we want the best with substandard / hardware that just isn't up to scratch... and when we do have the hardware, its the provider that's slowing it down.

I like the toys on my x10i, I have my desktop hoe I want it, it'll last the day... and I've pretty much solved all my problems with it so I'm happy.

At least I can use the touch screen (HTC orbit) or not wait 10 mins for a reboot (blackberry Pearl) or lose my messages logs etc because of s memory leak that "doesn't exist" (blackberry curve) or a touchscreen that doesn't crack when dust gets underneath (blackberry storm)

Hello everybody,

Does anyone know if there is a 6.5 based rom with the small menus of 6.1?

I don't like how 6.1 behaves with realvga, so that why I rather use a 6.5 based version.

thnx in advance =)
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrEastwood2u:
When I try to use a pic from my gallery as a wallpaper it makes me crop it and the pic is all distorted looking. Is there a way to use the whole pic?
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
You can have the image appear in higher resolution if you use justpictures and adjust the maximum display resolution in the app settings. Cropping is still required due to size differences between pics and wallpapers.

The app also allows you to include, facebook, picasa, etc so all your photos are easily accessed.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritum:
Hey all,

I own a Touch Diamond 2, and have installed the latest version of the EnergyRom on it, I have also installed hebrew fonts from htcaddicts.com (an israeli site) and the latest version of FingerKeyboard, I am only looking to read & write hebrew, so far everything works great, I can read and write in every place except for the content of the SMS message, when I try to write the message itself I get these small question marks instead of hebrew letters, I can write the subject perfectly just not the message itself.

I am pretty lost here, can anybody spare some advice?

[Nexus One General] EskimoPie:
My SD card access has gotten EXTREMELY slow. I'm running CM7 nightlies, with DT A2SD 2.7.5.2. For some reason lately, writing files to my SD has slowed to a crawl, and it seems to be getting slower and slower. Copying an ~80MB ROM to my SD can take 5-10 minutes.

Is there anything I can do short of re-formatting the card? That would be a big PITA.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
There is an issue with .37 kernels that cause this.
[Nexus One General] EskimoPie:
Sure enough, I'm running redstar's kernal which is a .37 version.
[Nexus One General] opus1one1:
I get around by just mounting from recovery.
[Nexus One General] EskimoPie:
That's fine for flashing, but it doesn't help with moving large media on and off the SD card.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Sure it does. You get full SD access in recovery, no different from mounting via the notification bar.
[Nexus One General] dolphin77:
And recovery uses a different kernel i believe. (.35.7 ?)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Yeah, that's why it works.

I've got the 37.2 kernel for cyanogenmod 7 RC2 and got the same problem. Is there any other kernel that is supported and will increase the speeds?

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] melmelby:
I rooted.

I flashed attn1 R012

I ADB'd (why?)

I partitioned with ROM Manager

I cannot get an app from Market to work to move my apps to SD.

Did I install the wrong ROM for this?

I thought this was supposed to be a feature of this ROM.

Al I wanted to be able to do was get rid of bloatware and move the apps to the SD.

This is getting overwhelming.

What do I do?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Javi97100:

To move all of your downloaded apps to the SD card (note this does not affect your system apps):

Terminal Emulator

type:

accept SuperUser permissions

then:
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] hungmung:
You have to also download the free version the pay is just the certificate to unlock the extras features

Ok, I did a2sd reinstall at terminal emulator.

I downloaded Titanium free to go with my unlock version.

Here's what I see now:

SD Card (a2sd) 239 MB (124MB Free)

So, looks like it is setup now, right?

I should probably increase the a2sd size; I don't have nearly all of the apps I want :)
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] E.Cadro:
okay my first post!

I did the above mentioned all looks good. Do have to do this every once in a while to move the apps to the sd card or will all future downloaded apps be moved to the sd card at download?

All future downloads/installations will automatically be placed on the ext partition. So nope, just do it once, make sure it's installed, and you're ready to take off.
