Hello!
This is my first post in the forum.
I recently got a X1 prototype to play with, im all new to WM Phones. So i dont know what to do and not to do.
What i personally feel is that X1 is kinda slow, but from what I've read I understand that some people has customized their own stuff for the phone to make it faster than it is with original firmware (or what its called)
My question to you guys/girls is: What is the best setup for the phone to make it run smooth but, what ROM should i use, if someone could put up a simple guide with links so what i need to download, the best roms, best appz.
Note that i dont want a GUI that looks like win 3.11. I still want it to look good. Not neccecearly with just spb shell.
Anyone that reccomend putting WM 6.5 into X1?
Anyway, the best stuff so the phone will run at its best!
That would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Edit: A list of "what to do" would be good, stuff i need to do before doing anything to the phone, to make sure i wont brick it.
Welcome .
I see that you are looking for the perfect setup and the easiest way of doing it, just like me, when I first came here. The short answer is that there is no such thing .
It all comes down to personal preference when WinMo is concerned. I can tell that you have read a bit, so my advice is to continue reading and do a lot of experimenting to see what you might like. You might like a stripped ROM that is blazingly fast and has only the basic features. You might want a slower, but fully stocked phone with every app available.
I can bet that if someone from the forum picked up my X1 he wouldn't like it and vice versa.
Maybe you should start with the ROMs that are specifically made for speed and smoothness and see if you like them. Just read the descriptions.
Cheers .
Hello! Thank you for your reply.
I almost figured that i would get a reply like yours. As we say in sweden: Smaken är som baken, delad = One mans meat is anothers poison. Ofcourse its hard to find the perfect setup.
But according to my directives (Going fast, but still pretty neat) As you said. Its either the basics = going fast, or a fully stocked = slow phone.
Isn't it something in between? A setup that contains both the basic features, but also some neat GUI.
And if someone has got any experience from WM 6.5 on xperia X1, please tell if it worked good.
Are they any ROMs more popular than others, if i put it that way....There must be something that a slight majority likes.
Is it even possbile to do something with a prototype?

Your problem might also be hardware, rather software. Prototypes usually don't have the same "guts" as their commercial, mass produced siblings. Some have less RAM, or a slower processor, or less internal memory, etc.

Im with you there. Its not the first proto i have, so im aware that hardware may not be the same as retail. But still..firmware can do much, eventough ram is lesser than the retail (256) I have R1A at the moment.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
ah yes the R1A firmware. that's what i had on my X1i when i first got it. when i upgraded to the R3A....it was BEYOND the difference between night and day. it was like night vs standing on the sun.
to get the ball rolling, i would recommend getting the Sony Ericsson Update Suite from their website, and updating the phone through their automated system. it will bring you up to date on the R3A rom and it's painfully easy, so it will give you a taste of what's to come...

If you didnt know this or just didnt read my post carefully, it said that its a Prototype im using. And SEUS doesn't accept them. It just say that im already using the newest firmware.

I totally agree - I run the Valkyrie ROM and it's absolutely amazing! I will recommend flashing it any day. One of my co-workers has the same ROM, and he's also amazed.
One thing to notice: If you're from Sweden, you might want to stay clear of the Manila versions. For me (from Denmark) I can't run the Danish keyboard settings while running Manila, and that's a total deal-breaker. After all, you want to take advante of full QWERTY, right?
Manila is what you might know as Touch Flo from HTC phones. IMO you should avoid that, go with Valkyrie's Xperio ROM (without Manila) and use the SPB panel (free). Then you have a really strong setup!
But hey - that's just me

Great, thanks for the info, i was kind of unsure what version of a rom i should install
If you're still feeling your way around, install the official Sony Ericsson R3A ROM. No need to Hardspl, and you'll still have the same interface that you're used to.
I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

First of all: If you want the original firmware, don't take it from XDA - take it from the SE official program.
Second: If you want to install a cooked ROM, first run HardSPL. This only works in some of my USB-ports, and only without inserting the memory card.
Once HardSPL is installed, you need the Kovsimg.nbh file...
Hope it helps

Hello there,
Great forum you guys have here.
I will be receiving my Diamond on Thursday from Orange. I have some questions and would be very grateful for your help and advice. I have looked across the site for answers but there's so much info it's difficult to know where to start!
Firstly, I understand I may need to flash the ROM to improve speed. Speed is very important to me and so should I need to do this, what ROM would you recommend - something simple, offering a good balance between memory consumption and speed please. Does the official HTC update help at all?
Secondly, what do I need to do to preserve the original ROM, just in case I need to get it back in order to return the phone.
Thirdly, can you provide me with a link that clearly explains the process of updating the ROM as i've never done anything like this before.
If there's anything else i've missed (such as settings changes - I know I should get rid of the Orange homepage in favour of HTC's for instance), please tell me - i'm eager to have my Diamond adequately set-up ASAP.
Thanks for your time & patience,
S.
well i got my diamond from orange a few weeks ago and i would like to know the same. The one thing i can tell you that it comes with rom 1.37 WWE and not the orange version which I thought was weird, the quick start book even shows the diamond with the orange rom. So if your the safe then you wont get a rom ruined by orange
Excellent, I hope the Diamond I receive is the same. I hate Orange extensions!
check out http://www.modmydiamond.info
Very useful site.
Thank you! Seems like a useful site...
Can anyone suggest what ROM to go for or a guide that details/reviews ROMS?
Thanks,
S
read , read & then read some more.
there are way too many ROMS to recommend.
workout what you wnat from a ROM then go find it.
i now this attitude sounds a bit tough but in the end you will gain invaluable knowledge about your phone along the way

I have to agree!
I was once a newb to WinMob (only about a month ago) and I hadn't a clue... I read, read and read and now I up updating roms, radios and installing apps like a good thing!
My own personal preference for a ROM is SwiftBL 5.6 - its super slick and includes loads of apps like GSen, Advanced Config, etc.... very nice app! You'll find it in the ROMs secion!
Enjor your phone!
DG
right o
if you go to the official HTC site you will get a download to the newest official htc rom 1.93 i think which will improve the phone speed no end - it is also easy to install (follow instructions on site). just make sure you backup everything first!
trust me it turned my phone from unusable to a godsend! and its official rom
Thanks for the replies. I will attempt reading the wealth of info available on this site, but i'm swept off my feet with work at the moment. So any concise info from you guys will really help me to get my diamond running well ASAP during this busy time. I have however read the guides on how to install the ROM at least and will get stuck in properly when things calm down.
Would you say that the latest official HTC ROM is faster than swift 6.0?
Thanks again,
S.

But you cannot download from HTC if you have an operator supplied device.
Oh! Damn. Oh well, I guess it's gonna have to be Swift or another ROM then...
Hello all, first off this is the absolute BEST PDA forum around. And Ive found just about all information I need. I JUST NOW successfully HardSPLed my device! W00T! Ive looked around and cant answer my last question though, I want to use a rom that is a WM6.1 bc I want threaded text, ive currently got wm6 on my T-Mo Wing (Herald) or whatever you guys like to call it lol. Do I need to do anything before flashing the WM6.1 Rom? Any suggestions on what Rom to use? I really like the idea of touch flo! Any help is appreciated!
Okay, Sir.
First off all you should know that I'm kinda new to the XDA scene as well but I've manage to flash my device right at the first attempt. What you have to do is following:
1. HardSPL your device
2. Check bootloader if process was successful
3. Get the RUU and put your *.nbh into the RUU folder (Image)
4. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps
That's it. Be sure to be ActiveSynced all the time!
Oh and for the ROM request: I can strongly suggest OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D - a pretty nice ROM imho.
If there are any questions left don't hesitate to ask
Cheers
i'll recommend the easier flash method, as long as you have a microSD card. you can download any rom image your wish to flash, and place it in the root directory of the sd card as HERAIMG.nbh (i beilieve. look it up, i haven't flashed in a while). just hold the camera button down as you turn on the device, and it'll load into bootloader mode. from there, just follow the instructions.
while opentouch and many other roms that already have many programs are nice, i always recommend the exact opposite. the best and fastest rom i have ever used is just2clean. it has tons of free memory left, and just the basics pre-installed. makes a great base to install just what you want, and easily be able to remove what you don't.
Awesome. Thank you both for the info! I think im gonna go with OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D. Ive seen youtube vids on it and it looks appealing.... Thanks again... Going to update as soon as i get off work =P. Will post if i have any problems. But maybe ill ask a last question, will OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D leave me much space left over after the flash?
Around 30MB afaik. If you need more space for apps etc. try the JustMe ROM with up to 70MB of free storage.
Cheers
Ok so i couldnt actually find the download link to 7.7, like i click on the 7.7 link in his sig, but couldnt actually fond the download. but i read clear thru the forum and found V7.3..... Successful install...Now I think im gonna try his windows vista beta. Thanks for the help!
Well, have fun at reflashing Here are the links to build V7.7

Lol im d/l it now. Got sent home from work bc of power failur... yay. But where did u find the link? i looked ALL over lastnight. The Touch IT Vista Beta worked well but i was really wanting this Open Touch 7.7 so im flashing again! Once again thanks... See ya on the other threads!
It's there at the very bottom.

I just want a ROM that is:
1. Unintsallable
2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
6. Landscape mode preferred.
As you may have guessed, im a noob. But I just wanted to know as there is like a sea of ROMs and it becomes very difficult for a person not very knowledgable like me to pick one. I just want 2 things most importantly, that it shud be panel-installable and shud support landscape mode, along wiht being stable.
Thanx a ton guys!!
I don't understand your 1st and 3rd point. All roms can be replaced.
I personally dislike having Touchflo as is a bit unstable for me. If you want 6.5 I've used this for weeks, the barebones version, link and its been pretty stable on me.
Read other threads asking about rom choices too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590874
sweet..by
1. i meant it can be uninstalled if it gives some problem...(i raed sumwhere its a pain to remove it from ur system)
and
3. by that i meant, that it is only installed in a panel, not in the whole sys..as in i dont want the OS to change, i want X1 OS but only one panel can be HTC's touch flo

Read what I typed above in red.
tahnx Im Packing...
though i get your humour(and frustration with the number of noob questions being asked everyday)
but plz understand, I am an original noob. I dont understand wht u mean by "cook your ROM"
also, the very fact i have posted this Question, is that there are so many ROMs.
Like see, there are many ways to run a Mac on ure PC (iAtkos, Kalyway etc) but I used Kalyway..so here i cant find my Kalyway...
is ITJE's ROM good??heard about it...
plz suggest specific ROM so that i dont have to do a lot of RND with my (brand new) phone...thanx a lot once again.
Here is my suggestion for you. Just try a rom for one week and see which one fit you the best. It's very easy ans SAFE to install new rom and every rom has it plus and minus. I personally install different rom every other date because i want to have the newest stuff for my phone.
I think you misunderstand what ROMs are. I think you should read the Wiki first. Then read the stickies. Then if you have questions try searching first, and then you should fire away with questions.
The questions you are posing now are not ROM related they are software related. If you really want to flash a ROM then you should first read what a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is and why you would want to flash one and what HARD-SPL is and how to prevent bricking. If you are not ready for a custom ROM then perhaps you should just stick to some of the many cabs that are available here.
Hopefully this will give you a starting place. Just opening a thread to ask nonsensical things is not going to be productive for you, and will only confuse or irritate more experienced members. If you have a basic understanding everything should fall into place after that. Good luck.
Thanx Hannigan174..i appreciate ure help and apologize for posting this Question. u are right, i actually dont understand what ROMs are in trems of X1....
But i wil take ur suggestion...i wil first try out diff ROMs and then post a query...
I understand what you want: a theme or a application not flash your phone with another ROM, is it?
Try check this out... and this ... also try this
Also you may check this one and this
Good luck

what you see is the Manila user-interface, can be any ROM currently had it cooked unless stated differently. And it can be of 2.1 or 2.5 (Leo), and installable under pure or clean rom.
Just read the stickies first under the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development thread. First step, you're going to need to flash HardSPL, then flash any ROM you like with the Manila interface.
This/URL] is one of the example, always read last pages to see the current issues on the latest build, then pick your choice

the more i read, the more im gettin confused...there is this software on one hand cutsomRUU...
then there is a cab availbale, then there is also the hardUSPL or something...
this is just getting more complicated, im eading the sticky threads but to no avail....can any1 plz help me how to get whats in the video..step by step with links...plz, its a humble request...
everything is explained in this sticky thread. just follow the steps. do a backup of your important data before u start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
but i really think u have no clue what u are facing by flashing ure device. every data on youre phone (not those on youre storage card) will be lost and all the programms u installed will be gone so u have to reinstall them after flash. by flashing ure device u will completely remove everything thats on ure phone and relace it with the new rom. did u ever updated youre device via seus?
the sony pictures app will be gone also and then u probably will not be able to watch your movies u have on youre card. unless u have this as a cab somewhere.
I've always recommended SPB Warehouse Backup. I made a thread, though nobody commented on it...but IMHO, and I gtrab and Siruis [X] are now using them, it's the best backup/restore program out there. It allows you to restore all your PIM and programs after flashing your phone.
The trial allows you to use it for 5 times before having to purchase a license. It's well worth it as custom ROMs are coming out every couple days or so, it saves time, effort, and the frustration of having to constantly restore your phone manually.

Once your phone is Hardspl'd , you would have to make a real effort to brick it.
As far as Android goes, all Android for Kaiser is advanced alpha or beta. Again, read..read...read to find what is best for your needs.
So do you recomend to not chose Android, because it is just in beta?
Edit:
What can i do if i dont like Android/WM6,5? How do i find back to my original WM6,1? (With norwegian keyboard)

I started with the tutorial to, and it works completely. if you do it that way.. Its impossible to brick it. Once you installed Hard SPL, it shouldn't be a problem ever, + you have to follow that tutorial once, after that you can just open the exe files, and start flashing fast. Aslong as you are sure that you installed HardSPL, And NOT soft spl. If you want to install a rom, you should read the thread about it carefully. Otherwise you might not have sound, or camera wont work etc.
Okay, but is it a way to get norwegian keyboard on WM6,5 or Android?

I don't know if it is compatible with Android.. I'm not that familiar with Android, I have only tried it once. But in my opinion it isn't a full usable OS
So you dont recommend Android?
Personally Android on the Kaiser is still in the early beta stages, you still can't even boot straight into Android yet,you have to boot WM or Linux and then launch Android manually, plus there are still some basic kaiser functions that are still a little iffy on the Kaiser ports.
If your are a reader and tinkerer then by all means try. But if you are expecting to get a " Hero " or a " myTouch " out of your Kaiser, it is not going to happen and you should just stick with a good 6.5 or an even better 6.1.

Yea right. In my opinion Android is slow on a Kaiser. Because of the slow Processor. Thought it looks nice.. But not fully usable for personally use.
Hi all!
I just bought a Touch pro 2 from a user that came with an old Energy rom
I allready checked many tuturials and videos but by fear its my first time flashing a rom into a pda.
Since it came with the old energy rom it is HardSpl allready.
My question is: Do i just need to run task29 to wipe out old rom and install the Energy.RHODIUM.21914.Sense2.5. and its all done or do i need any further proccedure?
sorry about asking but im just affraid to brake it, its so AWASOME this Phone!
cheers!

That's pretty much it. Task29, then run the ROM file of your choice (either over the SD card or over Active Sync). Some suggest to hard reset after your new ROM boots up. Just to make sure you start from a blank slate I guess? Although Task29 should more than take care of this.
After that, just load your programs of choice, sync your contacts, etc.
Its a little intimidating to flash for the first time. But once you've done it, you'll realize how easy it actually is. Just make sure your phone is charged up enough on each step, and don't mess with the phone or your desktop computer while you flash (and don't let it go to sleep or screensaver), and you'll be fine.

I did saw that post like many others in here allready including videos ...but the fear to do something wrong is always present thats why i wanted to listen a direct voice tolding me thatt that is right!
For example in the task29 topic it says : connect via Activesinc, Run task29 (there is no task29.exe file there, just RomupdateUtility. is this one we must run ?
After that its just need to get into bootscreen and flash the new rom by the PC?
cheers

That's correct, whether you flash Task29, a custom ROM, or a new radio, they all utilize the same RUU interface.
Ok, i will give it a try and hope everything run ok

cheers
thanks a lot again redpoint 73 , it all went good and the rom is now up and running and im loving its smooth and steady

Your very welcome. Easy, right? It quickly goes from something you're scared of, to an addiction!
Also, be sure to charge your battery to 100%, then let it drain to 0%, and do this once or twice to get the battery meter calibrated. Lots of people will flash a new ROM and freak out at the battery readings, thinking their battery life is all screwed up. When in reality, its just that they haven't given the battery meter a chance to get calibrated accurately.
which one is the energyrom reference series
i currently have a energy rom installed i just dont know if my device is over clocked
it just seems really slow

You'd be best off asking questions about EnergyROM in the EnergyROM thread
As for overclocking, if you haven't installed specific overclocking tools, or a ROM that includes overclocking (Energy's doesn't) then you don't have overclocking.
Op please read sticky before posting and nearly all ROM threads have a guide regards flashing.
Not ROM Development thread closed.
