I heard someone say that there is a plugin that will allow you to browse your contacts like the iphone does?

Yes, there is. Use the search option and you will find it.
I like iContact there is also PocketCM (I believe that's it). Try a search for those.
finger friendly friends is a good stuff, the best i have used so far
I don't know the PocketCM app exactly, but it hardly can be better than the finger friendly friends... best pocket app I've ever seen.
You can also use the HTC RandomAccess cab (this scroll by letters), look at the Cab Collection (sticky thread).
But definitely +1 for FFF, it rocks !
Yeah, I forgot about this. I currently still have a Hermes (with a radio that only works sometimes) and am looking to get a Kaiser soon. FingerFriendy Friends does look like a winner...
FFF looks really good, the advantage with PcoketCM is that it includes other functionality such as threaded SMS that works really well
You can also download an ipohone skin for version 0.15 that looks good
For me it is the best all rounder that I have used to date

PocketCM version .15 is great, has a lot of functionality and many skins to choose from. You can get it here: http://www.pocketcm.com
Version .16 (development version) is a total rewrite of the skinning mechanism, so wait until this gets fleshed out more before upgrading to it.
I now have both.In my opinion they both excel in different ways The perfect combo for me would be the functionality of the keyboard in fff with the presentation of Pocket CM i.e when listing contacts the ability to show photos and it's own messaging gui rather than the stock wm6 one.
So, what is the best app to use for geocaching on the Diamond ?
Are there any as good as (GUI is horrid though) Geocache Navigator that will also look up nearby caches and download the infos while out and about ?
Been using GN on my N95 and its not too bad - just the N95 is ugly as sin and you have to hold the thing with the slider open in order to get a signal
Any sensible advice would be welcome
cheers
none that has the same features.
I use BeelineGPS but it lacks in functions.
I would love to use something similar to GN in a WiMo device. The closest I know of is GeoScout but i have not tried it on the Diamond.

Excellent thanks. Will check out GeoScout.
Looks interesting at a first glance.
Try Cachewolf.
It even syncs with geocaching.com
And its open source
Just bumped into this one
Dunno if it is any good as a dont geocache.
http://www.basicgps.co.uk/
hiya. anyone know any good & freeware (cab please):
1 image/photo editor - to edit diamond photos
2 gps maps/software (I use amzgps and google but drains download limits)
3 any decent 3d games(action,rally...) for when bored at work...
probably be better in "Applications" section
i think you will be hard pushed for the Game, but there is a Windows Mobile verison of Paint (dont think it is actually made by Micro$hite)
What part of the world are u in? different places will have better/worse GPS software.
-edit- Paint Program is called PDAcraft Paint www.pdacraft.com (comes with Dutty's ROMs)

Hi and thanks
Im in UK actually
I checked the Paint, but what I need is an image/photo editor. To crop, resize, sharpen etc photos taken with the phone camera...

For PPC image editors, you probably can't get much better than these three:
Pocket Picture (Just-as-good freeware):
http://osdmsoftware.googlepages.com/pocketpicture
Pocket Artist 3 (Pay-application):
http://www.conduits.com/products/artist/
XnView (Free cross-platform):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xnview
http://www.xnview.com/
http://www.xnviewpocket.org/
Having tried almost every image editor on the Diamond, I can conclude that the above options are the very best available, especially considering the requirement for full VGA compatibility, photo editing, multi-format etc.
For GPS on the Diamond you could try TomTom7 which seems to be by far the most popular, although IGO8 and GarminXT would work too. CAB files for the applications and guides to make them work on Diamond are readly available here (legally) however you will have to purchase the maps (or search elsewhere if you know where - though it's not condoned by me or this forum).
For the Games and many, many other application, tools, utilities, themes and hacks you can really do no better than to browse the extensive amount of posts in both the Diamond "Themes, Applications and Software" General and "Development and Hacking" sections on this very Forum. Perhaps just spend an evening or two making your way through the threads back until May or so. You will find everything you need and be totally up-to-speed.
Also http://www.freewareppc.com/ is one of the best overall freeware resources on the web including version tracking.
Good luck with your new device - though I actually like the Diamond device, HTC Software and especially this community, because of the OS I'll be moving over to Android or Apple as soon as I can.

Thanks for the tips - will check them out right away!
I wonder: is it possible to install another version of CoPilot from somewhere and then use the maps already installed in the internal storage in T-Mobile Compact IV (CoPilot demo version)? Or are they protected somehow.
Hello all,
I'm truly sorry if I have start it a new thread that has an answer else where but I have looked and typed all different ways and can not find a few things I'm looking for for an AT&T TILT 8925...
I have seen all different type of posts for TOMTOM and people having problems with their Garmin but I can not find a cab file for a Garmin anyplace...
Also, I can not seem to find a SPB cab file anyplace either... I have seen a lot of today's screen and such but no touchflo or SPB ( not sure if they are the same thing)...
Anyways, if you can please send me to the right direction or send me the cab files, it would be greatly appreciate it...
And also, if you know or have any other cool stuff for a 8925 I would love to see what all this phone is capable of.
Thank you and again my apology if I didn't look hard enough or can't seem to find them.
SPB Mobile Shell is a commercial product -- go to their site and you can download a trial, and buy it if you like it.
I have it, and I think it is pretty darn good
Looking forward to version 3 out sometime this month.
So, I've decided to reflash my Xperia after I played with some of the settings and managed to make the whole thing really slow, choppy and buggy. There's nothing wrong with the device, I've just messed things up a bit. Nothing to worry, I'm not a newbie with stuff like this, just a bit over-enthusiastic and overconfident at times.
So, to the point, I'm looking for better alternatives to the ROM and software I already have. I'll give you a quick run-down of the stuff I have, the stuff I love and the stuff I never use with my Xperia.
The stuff I have:
-SEX1 R3.61 Barebone ROM (and all the apps et al that came with it) with SEX1cons F v3
-SPB Mobile Shell 3.x (the newest one ATM with the Weather widget)
-G-Alarm
-Opera Mobile (newest Beta)
-Opera Mini
-Pocket Player
-Google Maps
-VistaHide Battery Gauge
-Some YouTube stuff I would use if they worked properly (which they don't, partially thanks to me)
The stuff I love:
-The SPB Mobile Shell above all else. If someone would make a ROM based on the Shell alone, I would flash my Xperia with it immediately. It's got the most conventional interface in any operating system I've ever come across. I just love it.
-G-Alarm. Never has waking up been so easy. (OK, it's still not easy, but at least I do get up nowadays. )
-The conversation-style SMS
-The both Opera browsers (when they work, which is less often than I'd like)
-The tweaked camera of the SEX1 ROM
-Google Maps. I've lost count how many times I would have lost without it.
-The "notes" function.
-Messenger
-The music and video playing capabilities of the device (regardless of programs. I use Pocket Player out of habit and WMP for video playback because the PP can't handle videos all that well)
-VistaHide Battery Gauge & the fancy SEX1cons
The stuff I never use and would like to get rid off or at least hide/disable somehow:
-All the GPS garbage. QuickGPS etc. I have no GPS devices and I'm not about to buy any. Google Maps is more than enough for me.
-E-Mail. I use E-Mail so seldom anyway, I haven't even bothered to set up an account on my Xperia.
-Panels. They were fun in the beginning, but nowadays I prefer apps to panels. I don't even remember when was the last time I pressed the "X Panel"-button on purpose. Not useless, but unnecessary to me as I never use them anyway.
So, the thing I'm asking is what would be the best choices for a new ROM and whether there's some software I should consider adding or replacing some of my old apps with? For me, a ROM is just something to install SPB Mobile Shell over, so there's no need for a fancy interface or loads of apps or anything. Just the bare essentials; a fast and stable ROM plus some of the basic apps (calculator et al I seldom use, but couldn't live without). I'm not a conservatist, so I'm not afraid to abandon any of the stuff I have for something better if there is.
Also, as I obviously have to backup my PIM data, do most of the backup apps out there function correctly with the conversation-style SMS messaging?
Give me a hand here, guys, I know your collective brainpower and knowledge far exceeds mine, that's why I asked you in the first place. Thanks in advance of any tips, suggestions etc. you could give me.

Hey, if I wouldn't need the help I wouldn't have asked. It's a sign of respect, you know? That I trust in your knowledge? You don't need to answer to anything. Even small opinions and pieces of information are more than welcome.
I recently flashed my X1i, tbh it was piss easy, just install hardspl and copy the image to ur SD card!
I would suggest trying EnergyRom, or if u need Jack's 4.x full if u need asian language support
SPB Mobile shell 2.0 is was my favourite, but that was easily replaced by Touchflo3d!
The rest of the apps u listed u can easily install afterwards.
btw there's an entire forum section dedicated to X1 ROM's, so u're prob posting in the wrong place
As I told, I'm not a newbie with this stuff. It's pretty dang easy, it's just that as you guys've been here longer than I, you naturally know more about the different ROMs and software than I do. I'm not asking you how to flash or anything, I'm asking you which ROM would best suite my needs and whether or not I should replace some of the apps I've been using so far with something better.
I took a quick look at the EnergyRom and if the author knows his stuff (which it seems), it seems like a cool pile-o'-bytes. I'll take it into consideration.
The rest of the apps u listed u can easily install afterwards.

Yup, I know. If you read my post through, I just asked you people for possible better alternatives for the apps I've been using so far. I know how to install stuff and anything.

I was thinking that, too, but then decided to post here as I'm not specifically talking about ROMs alone, but the whole device's software in general.
I agree with Mjollnir1983, jackleung's "Jack V4.x Lite" would most likely be a good choice for you. I also agree that Touch Flo 3D is better the SPB Mobile Shell, but that's your personal choice. If you wanted to try TF3D, "Jack V4.x Medium" would be a good combination of a clean rom and TF3D. I personally like agent_47's "Valkyrie v3.x FireStorm", because it is has TF3D and is a fast rom with some useful apps. However it may have to many apps for you. If you decide you like agent_47's roms, then "Xperio" might work out alright. It doesn't have TF3D, but still has some good HTC stuff that makes it look better and is a more clean rom than firestorm. Links are bellow. Also I thought I would mention that QuickGPS is something you might want to keep, because it helps Google Maps get a satellite lock quicker. It doesn't always work great, but their are some fixes if your having problems with it.

I tried the TouchFLO 3D on my friend's cell and it seemed okay after a short while of getting used to. Not that different from SPB Mobile Shell and no disadvantages whatsoever compared to it. I'll give it a shot. Thanks a million, guys.
Now, the biggest question is whether or not there's a PIM backup app available that works correctly with the conversation-style SMS. (At the moment every time I restore a backup, it only restores the messages I've sent, not received. It's the messaging app itself that is responsible, cos I've tried several backup apps.) Is there, or is it just the messaging app I've tried to tweak that is responsible?
About the other apps... Well, I'll do some research myself. I'll probably stick with at least some of them for a while.
Um... I don't know man, there are thousands of apps. I think ROMs are down to personal preference and you should just try many of them to find the best one for you. From the top of my head:
Pocket Music - best music player IMHO.
SkyFire - nice broswer for flash heavy sites.
HTC mp3 trimmer WVGA - perfect for making your own ringtones.
SKTools, advanced config and xperia tweak - best tune up software there is.
SPB Online - online games, radio and TV.
MyMobiler - lets you control the X1 from your PC.
Innobec Side Window - use the X1 as a secondary screen for your PC.
Resco Explorer and Photo Viewer.
SPB Weather
SPB Insight - RSS feeds.
HTorch - pocket flashlight.
WinMobileTorrent
Core Player - best player for every video file except mp4 (use WMP for that).
MS Reader - E-Book reader.
Skype mobile
MorphGear - perfecr emulator for every old game possible.
WK Task - best task manager/launcher/x button.
Homescreen ++ - lets you check your temp, cpu speed, ram usage and more, directly on your homescreen. You can havega taskbar launcher as well. This app is a must.
There are many more, but you have to be more specific about what you want.
Cheers

You have the internal GPS of the Xperia!!!
Google maps use A-GPS need data connection to work. The normal GPS is free (exception of software and maps).
@orelsi: Thanks, I'll take a look at those shortly.
kremlincrackers: The more you know...
Thanks a lot, I wasn't aware of that at all. That means I should keep the QuickGPS, then.
EDIT: I started flashing the Jack V4.x Medium ROM. Let's see what this thing's capable of...
What you're looking for is a similar version of what I have,
You could have any light/fast ROM, I prefer to use a tweaked ROM with cache and memory enhancements. At present I am using WM 6.5 but it's even more stable with 6.1
Then SPB Shell 3, as for applications adn in addition:
- Removed X Panels and remapped panel key to Resco Explorer.
- TOMTOM this is essential, if you wish not to spend money on it there are some free alternatives, although not as good.
- Resco Explorer and Registry editor
- SBP Television, Insight, Snapshot and Imageer.
- My Mobiler
- Finger Keyboard
- World Card Mobile
- Rhodium Dialer
Cumps
Okay, fellas, thanks for the help!
I tried the ROMs mentioned above, but finally settled for the awesome Touch X ULTIMATE X-TREME 10.1 Original Green which was suggested to me by a friend of mine. I can't praise it enough. I've used 8-12 ROMs (including big names like Valkyrie, Touch-IT and SEX1 R3) in the past and it's ultimately the fastest and most stable of them. As long as it keeps running as well as it is ATM, I seriously doubt I'll ever change the ROM again. The only tweaks I had to make were adding a Programs-tab to the TF3D and removing all the Panel Manager stuff while rebinding the panel key to Pocket Player.
Give it a shot, guys. You might fall in love just like I did.
