[Q] Need some help plz - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok i new here
i had my X1 2days ago & its my first PPC
i have been reading all over the places about "Manilla 2D and TF3D"
and TF3D-2 & TF3D 2.5 & Diamond something!!!
after all i knew how to install it but i didnt get what is it?
is it just a new interface or like new softwear to the X1 or what?
however im using WM6.1 eng
so can i get some help about it???
thnx

It's in fact a today plugin that was created by HTC for its phones to improve the user interface. It's more or less fingerfriendly and gives you access to various functions/ applications right from the home screen. So far it has been ported to almost any WM device out there, X1 included.

thanx
but if u can help me further it will be great
1. i can see that TFL3D on Xperia has so many versions & types , how can i know witch one to use?
2. do i have to install WM6.5 ?
3. does "Flash" word mean like "to take a copy of mobile softwear"?
thanks anyway

Flash" = copy a file into the device read-only memory (ROM)
ok i found what does it mean

Currently the xperiax1 rom section has many wm 6.5 roms with sense 2.5 201X most are very fast although i recommend the 826x version. So this solves 1) & 2) quickly. Flashing is either using a memory stick or computer method, and i recommend u to make a backup of ur stock rom just in case.
Gd luck and have a nice day

Generally there are two ways to acquire Touchflo 3d/ Manila (or the current version which is callded Sense). You either flash a rom that contains it or you install it by using the corresponding .cab file. Flashing a custom rom containing Sense seems to be the better way what concerns performance but I have to admit I'm no expert (personally I don't like and therefore use it).

Rhodium Dialer

Hi guys,
i am sorry if this is not the right place to post my question, but could someone explain if it is possible to extract the Rhodium dialer from the relevant ROM and covert it to a cab for installation on a stock ROM?
I appreciate any answers as i am new to this but would be interested in starting to play with ROMs.
Many thanks in advance.
just copy the needed files from the oem folder and use wince cab manager to build your cab,
if you know how to cook that is.
Nope, actually i have no idea...yet! But i am eager to start learning a bit more about cooking so if you have any good posts or articles please let me know.
Did someone try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521815 ?
Yeah, I tried it but it doesn't work. It keeps saying that the install is unsuccessful, even though I have sdkcerts installed. Not sure why it doesn't install.
I am usign this compatibility pack in my latest pure ROMs
(my ROMs are "pure" xperia, no based on blackstone or rhodium OEMs as others)
I have included this compatibiity pack in my latest ROM and I was able to successfuly run many Manila / TF3D2 apps in the SEX1 ROM
Well, I made a CAB out of my OEM package, please download it and install it, then try adding the rhodium dialer or other manila apps, and please report
If it works, it would be a great achievement for non-ROM flashing users of our community
.
EDIT
24 JUN 09
first test worked for some
second version up, hope this one works for ALL stock Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROMs
NOTICE THIS IS BASED ON WWE, but should be tested over other languages too
Here are some RHODIUM/TOPAZ/BLACKSTONE APPS I have CABbed should you want to test them too (mp3 trimmer, comm manager, vol control, voice rec, youtube... etc)

Soooo hot damn news! Gtrab, U're simply the best. I'm trying install Rhodium dialer now.
It works. Thax U so much Gtrab. Now i have Sex1 with Rhodium dialer
Gtrab, thanks so much.
Does the rhodium dialer work okay? I had Yota dialer but it slowed things down and had a few other limitations.
Hmmm, strange; I installed the compatibility pack then rhodium dialer, but still same error message (installation unsucessful). Anyone else have success?

I'm using stock NAM R2A. Looks like gtrab has kindly uploaded another version, so I'm going to give it a shot.

Pack 1 doesn't allow to install Rhodium conm. But pack 2 does. Its work perfectly. Even I can install TF3D like WC Rhodium packet, and easily switch back to Today (like in wm6.1). Gtrab, much appreciate.
Still not working on mine (X1a NAM R2A). Maybe it has something to do with previous install of Yota contacts? Anyway, thanks gtrab for your contribution.
gtrab: I WAS able to install HTC voice recorder, so this seems to be specific to the rhodium dialer, at least on my phone.
Created topic for other Rhodium CABed apps.

TF2D works well on a kaiser, just not in landscape. TF3d is not a completed project yet. Many short comings to put up with. TF3D looks cooler, but M2D runs much better and cleaner.
Oh ...and try to post in complete sentences, we don't use text speak around here, it makes your questions look less than serious and people will just skip over them rather than trying to figure out what the heck your trying to say, just a friendly tip
oh, no wonder... Erm, i was previously using spb backup in WM6 professional, but when i restore it in the cooked rom garmin dk.10 final, it just won't work... I couldn't get my contacts back now... I tried to delete the file in windows folder to replace the pim.vol file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1832331&postcount=2), but it doesn't allow me to do so in the windows folder (can't choose the delete option). Any tips for this?
By the way, thanks for the friendly tip~
Yay~ thanks to all, I have managed to solve that problem... All i did was by doing a backup with spb backup, then restore with my previous backup files and thank god, the contacts were there! So i used Pimbackup to back the contacts, restore the backup i last did, and put back the contacts... Really enjoy the TF3D on my kaiser... Just that there isn't a video call function... hope there will be a cab file to put this function in soon enough~

Please help me with my X1

Hi!
I really like the windows mobile 6.5 today screen and the start menu and i want them to run on my 6.1... I know that i can use hard-spl and then install a pure 6.5 rom, but i don't want to mess with my warranty, considering i have 2 years left. So i wonder if there is some application or anything that makes it possible for me to get these functions on my 6.1...
ps... i just installed the x2 panel manager on my 6.1 and with it came the original x2 panels, execpt the today screen... And i saw on pictures that a x1 windows mobile 6.1 ran the windows mobile 6.5 today screen, so it's possible... It's only a matter of finding the files Here's the link btw:http://www.xperiax1.net/forum/developers-downloads/5393-x2-goodies-tilewave-panel-experiment-13-game-new-panel-manager-more.html
Best regards//
Chabbe11
anybody?? plz
What you are asking is impossible. If you want 6.5 style start menu you must flash a 6.5 ROM. There are a bunch of built-in dependencies.
If you want an HTC start menu (Which is a very pretty alternative for 6.1 then flash a TF3D (Manila) based 6.1 ROM.
As far as I know there is no cabbed solution for what you are asking. Sorry. Read up on flashing, Hard-SPL, and restoring Soft SPL, and you can safely switch to custom ROMS and revert back to stock if you need to send it in for warranty work. If you do this please read and understand the instructions in the Wiki and/or the Stickies before you attempt.
Good Luck and happy flashing!
you can't change the wm shell without changing to a wm6.5 rom
but maybe you can use http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
and find a skin which looks kinda like wm6.5
but mind you desktop advanced will be running on top of wm6 and would slow the device down a bit
Okey, i thought it was possible considering that gtrab converted and made it possible for us to use the xperia x2 panel manager and all the other panels...
But i guess i was wrong, thanks for your help. Much appriciated

Question About X1 ROM,Flashing etc

Hello guys 1st sorry i know the answers of the questions i will ask are writen in this X1 Forum but the reason to ask you here is because im not X1 User im a Blackstone user and i know how to play with my device.

I want to ask you can you tell me from your expirience One Good fast and stable ROM for X1? one 6.5 and one 6.1 ?
You will know better because you use this ROM`s if anyone ask me the same question for Blackstone i know the answer.
And also i read about the Flashing Methoud via SD card is 99% the same like for HTC Touch HD just the diference is in the file Name
Can you please tell me with few words witch HARD SPL i need to use to unlock the phone from Stock to WM 6.5
And Do i need to know anything more.. or the procces of flashing is like in the HTC devices.
Im asking you because my friend wana flash him X1 with some better Windows. and i don`t want to crash him phone.
Also for example in our HTC devices i know how to flash Radio Version is the same with X1?
Can anyone tell me one good combination for example this ROM... with this Radio and this Rilphone is good combination i don`t ask for the latest Build i prefer something Fast and Stable.. so he is with the Stock ROM anyway and i know that here will have alot more fast and stable ROM`s for his device

well, most of what you ask is in the sticky section of this thread, but ok, here goes...
hard spl
micro sd method
custom ruu method
I guess that's similar to most HTC devices, though I'm lacking experience there
I prefer valkyrie leo rom (wm 6.5.3, manila 2.5), new UI style (Builds 280**), maybe a little more stable are the old UI style ones (Builds 218**)
about NRGZ roms I don't have to tell you, seeing your signature...
can't give advice on wm6.1 roms though, sorry, as I only use the wm6.5 ones
Radio: I think it best to try different ones, as for me higher versions seem to drain more battery without really improving signal quality, you see in my signature what I finally settled for
but again: that's an individual (geographical) question that in the end only you can answer
hope that helped some

Yes thank you for the Info like i say i know that everything is writen in the forum but better to ask befor to mess something.
So i will flash the X1 but i never have expirience with ROMs for X1 for that reason i prefer something close up to the default stock ROM but to be Fast and Stable i don`t mind if the ROM is WM6.1 also the guy with the X1 is not so...... technical and maybe will be easy for him to not have so big change in the phone the reason to wana flash his phone is because is really very very slow and crash often frize and etc..
So you told me already with ROM u use but its a new Build with the 2.5 Manila and always the old Windows build etc will be light of memory usage and faster stable.. im just looking for one Fast Stable ROM no matter from the Build etc
Thank you
What about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482

read that Touch X 10.1 (smaberg) and 10.8.* (MrRusch) have good voting
also Phoenix rom (Oobly) is reported to be very fast, all Wm6.1, check them as a start, until further feedback arrives

Some questions

hi guys out there
i'm new to this forum and I like it a lot,
some many files and informations that are useful...
I already have touchflo 3d on my xperia, but now I'd like to flash a new rom.
Now my questions
1) when I do hard spl, do i have to connect the phone in tri.color screen or normal
2) how do i exit the tri color screen, did that by doing soft reset, any other possibility ??
3) Which 6.5 sense rom ??? I'm german so i'd liked to have a fast and stable rom which should be in german . I only would use a english rom if the difference is big
4)Equal which radio I have or do I have to upgrade it too
5) can i use all the programmes i downloaded so far for my xperia with stock rom??
cheers
MR. D - S
1. follow instructions provided with hard spl program.
2. soft reset the phone or take out the battery.
3. depends on what you want in the rom, every rom has its pros and cons you need to experiment to find the one you like. Not everyone does german language rom, there is no real difference except language and what is included. Most roms are very similiar as chefs use standard packages with their own tweaks.
4. you should keep the radio that comes with the stock rom if it works in your part of the country without problems.
5. yes, you can use all the programs you have downloaded, depending on the rom you may have to download a framework program to get the best usage out of your program.
cool , thank you !

It's difficult to help as you didn't mention current and new ROM versions...
Maybe a task29 will help (search the forum for the corresponding thread).
I finally got it working agaun over usb, so I'm happy again.
But thx for trying to help me...
