[Q] Some Xperia X1 questions - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have noticed on the X1 that when I type an SMS it lags and is slow to respond (e.g. it fails to recognise when I double space) yet when I use intenet explorer and type a URL then it works fine. Is there a replacement software I can install that replaces the stock SMS software?
Are there any good themes for this phone that makes it look like WM 6.5 or WP7?
Thanks.

TouchFLO UI

Hi,
Since Hermes and Wizard, alongside general information and development & hacking, are starting TouchFLO topics I created this one.
Allthough much work has to be done, at least the TouchFLO theme is available for WM 6 users. Since we don't have that I wonder if it somehow can be made available for WM 5 users like us.

The only thing working on my BA is the .tsk file for the dark theme.
The today plugin won't work because it's made for wm6 using the wm6 sdk (duh!).
UPDATE:
I got the dialer and wireless/connection manager running on my BA!
The problem that I lost all sounds/mic on my device. The connmanager works and the phone make calls. But I can't hear anything and nobody can hear me. There is no beeps from the fone or anysound from programs. The solution I've found is hard-reset. I'll keep trying.
You can download the files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
The today plugin still not working.
Ok, the dialer works but smartdialing stops working after first call.
The problem with no sounds from the phone is with the connmanager. Do not install it unless you want your device to be totally silent.
I have installed both the Comm manager and dialer and I have no sound issues, all my sounds work fine!
same here, no problems with the sound.
I do have the smardial problem though.

Wisbar theme
Is there a black wm6 theme that will work with Wisbar 3?
I cant find one...
I will try the conn manager again (which version are you guys using?).
for the wm6 black theme for wisbar, I'm using this one: http://lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9264
touchflo ui will never be available in WM5, also it depends on the HTC touch touscreen driver, if simeone post a hacked one it will be available on the other wm6 devices, but for now no other than HTC Touch Has it. The theme and comm manager and smartdialing work just fine with my rom (slows the device a lot but work,you can not open the options of smart dialing), home today plugin is not compatible with WM5
everyone is crazy about htc touch, if you want it that bad just buy it
also not mentioned things in touch rom are the new windows live messenger (10.6.00.28.2700) and the new arcsoft mms 4.0.31.21) IA Zip(1.20.27526.0), Smart Dialing(2.5.27526.0), Sim Manager(6.13), Sim Access Profile, Adobe Reader LE, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Audio Today Plugin, (ported them all to wm5, and will include them in my next rom or as cabs). All of you are crazy about the gui stuff (which is not working well in wm5) but forget the important things
The today plugin would be nice but not really necessary. The comm manager have a better aparence and so the dialer.
My dialer displays the options for smart dialing but the problem is after I make or receive a call smart dialing will stop working so I need so softreset it.
As for the cube flip thing I'm not interest in it.
Basically I like the gray color scheme, the way comm manager looks and the dialer. The today plugin I got a mokup working with rltoday but it was too slow to change pages as it uses mortscript to replate the rltoday config file and reload the app.

I actually sold one of my BAs march 06 and got a wizard nib. You're missing out on a lot of sweet new items on wm6.. heres a shot of the htc touch in action

I will be looking forward your next release. What I'm saying about the touch ui it's just about the colors and visuals. If it's possible to change the colors from our current conn manager and have the dial pad like the touch one (bigger keypad) that would be nice.
As far buying the "touch" it's not a possibility right now ($) and the only reason I have the BA is because a friend gave it to me.

I know it is sort of GUI, but when Helmis WM6 ROM comes out (thanks so much Helmi), will it be possible to port the actual touchFLO interface where you dont need a stylus to read email and suchlike to the BA in WM6?
thanks,
hardingt0110
When that ROM comes out the possibilities will be the same as for other devices running WM6 so search other forum sections where available touch apps are discussed. As for the stylusless inbox control I believe the hardware upgrade would be required for its proper work.

I cant find anything usable in other threads, they're just speculating on whether the BIOCUBE will work. Can anyone provide a cab, or some other form of installing it (this is assuming we are using Helmi's WM6 BA ROM)?

there's quite a few actually
chk out the Lakeridgesoftware website in the forums they have a skins and themes section that has qwuite a few for free download, just make sure you get a QVGA version.
Also a quick google search for "4PDA.ru wisbar" will give you a russian site that has quite a few on there that aren't on the lakeridge site, and a efw that are. =)

[Search] Lite/Fast WM 6.1 Rom with R3AA and Rhodium Apps (Dialer,ComManager)

hey i was on Touch X rom, and now its time to get back to oldschool, cuz i want to run Pointui as main interface on my device.
im searching for a rom with:
- R3AA
- Rhodium Dialer (and when i get incoming calls, should be also like the touch x rom)
- Comm Manager
- Volume Control
- ee ok the mainstuff of touch x 10. but without TF3D
- Additional Apps like (Backup,RSSFeeds,NoData)
- FAST and LITE Rom
- Windows Mobile 6.1
- Youtube
- Language: German or English.
if the one or another app is not inside that doesnt matter.
please give me some advice there are too many roms to check now.
ill post it on the x1 main forum too. so dont wonder.
Why not just use the Touch X rom, but disable FT3D? you can run whatever you'd like then

Are you sure you are referring the lite version? (I have Lite, Medium and Full all in that single thread). The lite doesn't have TF3D or any dialer (just plain WM 6.1 dialer)
But one thing for sure is you won't get Rhodium Dialer w/o TF3D since they are TF3D's contact is part of the Rhodium Dialer.

official xperia x1 theme

hi guys, I have small question. cuz here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ZL2-QEFoM&feature=player_embedded
we can see, from 4:09 till 4:27 this white, ugly, windows 95-like icons and background with old looking scroll. I dont want to keep this in my xperia, so I searched for some cool themes and found some, but one person from different forum told me that when I change ROM I will loose this:
http://www.gearcrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1.jpg
on the left side. I mean those small windows that give me overview to a lot of features in phone. So I ask you - is it possible to keep this built-in usefull and cool looking feature , and change view of these silly icons and white background to sth more modern?
thanks in advance, I appreaciate all helpful answers
bump, I will be more than insanely happy if sb could help me.
Yes, read the X1 ROM forum, almost all custom ROMs have Panel Manager. Look for a 6.5 ROM.
okay man <getting crazy> thank you so much!!
and is it possible to update WM from 6.1 to 6.5? I noticed that X1 sometimes has 6.1 and sometimes 6.5 (dunno what it depends on) and I know that on 6.5 there is more themes and you know.. just want to know

Officially X1 runs WM 6.1.
X2 will have 6.5.
You can have 6.5 only as custom ROM available at XDA.

1. even if I cant is it possible to have 6.1 and use 6.5 themes?

It's possible to have WinMo 6.5 on your X1.
First, you have to HardSPL your X1.
The link for instructions is here.
Second, you need to find a Custom ROM for your phone. Under the Xperia X1 ROM Development section of the forum, there are threads made by other users that have Custom ROMs they build that run on Windows Mobile 6.5.
When you find a ROM that suits your needs, extract the .nbh file to a FAT32 formatted MicroSD card (probably the best way to flash a custom ROM). Make sure the full name is "Kovsimg.nbh". Also. make sure any information you need off the phone is backed up. A good WinMo backup application is PIM Backup.
After you have backed up all files, and copied Kovsimg.nbh to a formatted FAT32 MicroSD card, turn off the phone, and make sure the battery is atleast 50% full. Hold the volume down rocker while pressing power, and until you see a 4-colour screen show up, don't let go.
If the phone detects the .nbh file, the screen will go grey and ask you to either press power to continue, or the select button to cancel.
Click the power button, give it a minute or two, and congrats.

Windows Mobile 6.5 - HELP !!!

Hi guys, I'm interested in flashing my X1 with a clean WM 6.5 ROM, without any additional, modified stuff.
1. Does 6.5 run smoothly on the X1 ? What about the memory usage?
2. Has the screen problem (I cannot recall it exatly but AFAIK it concerned either the landscape mode or the dialer) ?
3. Are there any SERIOUS BUGS in 6.5 which would be a reason for you to resignate from flashing to 6.5 ?
4. Which ROM would you recommend, if there are several ?
I want to stress once more that I'm interested only in the clean version, no fancy stuff.
If you have any suggestions concerning an upgrade to 6.5 please feel free to share them with me.
Thanks in advance !!!
just try
I find windows 6.5 smooth enough on the X1. I have not encountered any problems with the screen. I can't say which ROM you should choose, it's a matter of personal taste. I prefer Christian's (clean) ROM. Just take a look at ROM development and try a ROM. Read the tutorials before flashing in order to avoid bricking your phone.
Good luck
thanks for the quick reply. I now recalled the display problem I was talking about: someone reported display corruption concerning the dialer when you use scrolling with the keypad hidden, is this still a problem or has it already been fixed ?
I'm also using Christians clean rom without any major issues.
Just tried the scrolling with the keypad hidden (on the latest 3.904) and you do get graphics corruption, but it's only minor, if you tap on the show keyboard again it rerenders ok again.
Not really an issue for me anyway as I just type the start of the name in on the keyboard and it filters.
I did it screen corruption in the dialer is minor, I think I can handle my phone with that little bug runs smoothly, everything's fine. Can anyone tell me if there's a possibility to customize the "favorites" menu on the today screen ? i tap it and a list of links opens, but I cannot add my own programs.
im using gtrab Pure 6.5 ... very fast and clean.. still didn't happened any problem from over 1 month...

Try CLauncher plugin for launching programs and atcontacts for contacts ... these work fine on mine.
Just be aware that not all plgins are compatible with the latest wm builds and not all are compatible with thw wvga screens.
thanks for the tip, but:
when I install and tap on "applications" in order to add a program I get the following message: the file App3 cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, ore one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
what shall I do ?
EDIT:
had to reinstall mortscript, the plugin works fine ! thanks man !

Question to those who have tried unOff, gtrab, and Christian's: what other differences have you noticed? (other than Christian's running 6.5.3)

the titanium weather plugin works fine in europe as far as i know.
You just need to find your city code n Accuweather.
Should look something like this EUR|UK|UK186|LEEDS

[Q]Need your opinions/help about SE x1

Hi everyone
I need your help/opinions about SE x1 windows mobile 6.1 because i'am just new at this phone so i have many things to learn.. i saw some amazingly cool applications here but not worked at my phone properly like EzInput keyboard, i like that application but it doesn't work right, it appears small on screen,, can someone help me? thank's in advance..
list off questions
1.what is SIP?
2.what is the best windows mobile version for touchflo 3d?
3.what is best version of touchflo 3d with landscape mode?
4.SPB mobile shell panel is like touchflo 3d in today panel?
5.what is SPL and ROM do i have to change/upgrade it to install applications?
someome pls help me thank's in advance
EZinput probably doesnt work because you need the WVGA version of it. Your phone screen has a WVGA resolution.
SPL and ROM, you can go to the Xperia X1 HardSPL thread and find more information about it.
I dont think theres any "best" version of windows or TouchFlo3D because they all have their pro and cons. You can just try it by yourself and see which one you like the most.
TouchFlo3D and SBP shell have nothing to do with each other. They both change your today screen though. You wouldnt need a ROM change/update if the software you're trying to install is compatible with your current one. Judging from what you said, your current ROM is running Windows Mobile 6.1. So you should be looking for WinMo 6.1 applications that are compatible with your WVGA resolution.
thanks XtriFe for answering it, i saw some touchflo 3d but forgot the version, in the instructions for installing, one of it say's change the SIP something, what is that SIP or SIP selector..? thanks again
The easiest way to get Touch Flo on the X1 is to flash a new ROM with TouchFlo. There are helpful tutorials on the ROM development section on how to download and flash custom ROMs.
SIP can stand for 2 things, either as Soft Input Panel, meaning input apps like the onscreen keyboard and handwriting recognition, or Seesion Initiation Protocol, usually in connection with VOIP programs. For your question, it's most probably referring to the first one.
SPB mobile shell is an app to customize the toda screen, and there are versions of it that make our Today screen look like the TouchFlo interface, but you're not limited to TouchFlo (see Windows Mobile Development and Hacking>Themes for SPB MS themes/layouts)
Magkano bili mo sa X1 mo?
thank's harvey
