Xperia Screenshots

Hi.

Though I initially wanted to do a video showcasing the power and high speed of the device – after applying a few simple tweaks to it, but unfortunately having been unable to get my hands on a video recorder, i thought I’d start off this blog with screenshots from the device instead. Hopefully I will be able to record a video of the device and showcase the fast performance of the device soon. (It is by far the best and fastest Windows Mobile device ever!)

Enjoy these screenshots…

1. The Today Panel/Screen - With SPB Pocket Plus, Inesoft Today, Spb Time, Flash Themes, Pocket Digital Clock Today items enabled.

Screen02 

 

2. The 9 Panels active on the device - First is the default today panel (pictured above), the next two are the Sony Ericsson Panels – though i barely use these two, next is the SPB Panel, then the Media Panel, the Radio Panel, TF3D Panel (thanks to XDA Developers for making this possible), the Windows Live Panel, and finally the Facebook Panel.

3. The TF3D Panel. (Weather animation activated for screenshot – i wanted to capture the rain ;)

Screen17 Screen15

 

4. Resco Explorer and SPB Imageer – Two must haves.

Screen05 Screen06

 

5. Inesoft Phone/Address-Book – Surprisingly faster than the default Xperia dial-pad and contacts. And extremely better looking too!

Screen03 Screen04

 

6. Winterface & Memory usage. Average Memory usage is around 32-35%. I switched back to the Today panel from the TF3D panel… ran Winterface for the screenshot and then checked the RAM – which sat at only 40%. On closing SPB Screenshot, it dropped down to 36%.

Screen11 Screen13

 

7. Today Screen plugins & SPB Keyboard (which i like more than the HTC Touch HD’s ported keyboard!)

Screen12 Screen14

 

8. And in the end… Apps & Games – Too many to list here, but all working flawlessly.

Screen23 Screen22

Screen20 Screen21

 

That’s all for now… Hope you liked ‘em. I will post details on games i’ve got installed on my Xperia in the next couple of days as well as details on the tweaks applied to the device and the applications used in order to tweak it.

Best Regards.

could you please let me know what is the name of game like zuma you've post in the screenshot,sorry for my bad english,thanks you

@ son hoang
The game you are asking about is Abracadaball.

I am interested to know how it is working in full screen, as i tried a java version, and it was only small on the screen.

Please, M.Salman.K , please tell how you did this?

@John

I downloaded an Xperia optimized version of the game. Check out Gameloft's web-site... chose Xperia as your phone and you'll get all the games that have been optimized for Xperia. :)

I'll post more on games later-tonight/early-tomorrow.
Johnny Boy said…
Thanks, man. Much appreciated. I got addicted to that game on my K800, and Zuma just isnt the same. :)

@John

I know what you mean! :)

Many thanks for your infomation. I will follow your update.
Johnny Boy said…
Well! 3 Days ago, i purchased Abracadaball from Gamelofts website. I still have no download link, or any reply to e-mail, or forum post.
Annoying to say the least.
Still, patience will win the day, i hope.

@John
Oh boy... i guess its just bad timing. With Christmas holidays and the new year upon us, they might not be handling business these few past days. hopefully you'll hear from 'em really soon.

It is the one of the best playable games on Xperia so far. Do check out my latest post with the list of games that i have installed.

Nice. Could you point me to where you got that brushed metal theme/background please?
msalmank said…
@Nils

I got this from: http://blogs.shintak.info/archive/2007/03/27/Theme_HairlineWVGA.aspx

Visit the following link for all WVGA themes on that site: http://blogs.shintak.info/articles/wm5themes_wvga.aspx

The Hairline one is more of a landscape WVGA theme, as in portrait the background repeats... but since the slight line where it begins again goes behind my IneSoft today plugin and this is by far one of the finest looking theme i have yet found, i just love it! :)

P.S. You will most likely need the WVGAThemeHelper for setting themes on Xperia. The Hairline one works without installing that, but for most you will need it.

M.Salman.K' can i ask you, when you downloaded Abracadaball from Gameloft, did you have any issues? Also, do you have a different Java machine running on your X1 ? I'm having some trouble getting this game from Gameloft, even with Tech support's help.
msalmank said…
@John - To be honest... i didn't purchase it off of Gameloft but got it via someone i know. I don't see why it shouldn't be working or why you are unable to download it.

Also, I have the original Java machine on the X1 that comes on it pre-installed.

Hi, i was just wondering how you got your TF3D Panel to look like that. I also have TF3D and the panal installed but I'm stuck with the default TF3D theme. Can you show me how to make mine look exactly like yours or direct me to a link or download.

Thank You

Xperia – Software Update

Update : Generic UK ROM has been updated . What? ‘Software Update’? Did you read it right? The answer is YES! After much debate against Sony Ericsson for not releasing any patches or updates since the release of Xperia, we finally have an update coming our way. PavelX1 at XDA Forums is uploading all the new ROMs onto Rapidshare for us to download. What changes, enhancements, and fixes does this R2 version of the software update include? That is a thing of mystery at the moment. But let’s hope that it is everything everyone hoped for and more! To download or for more info, go here . FYI – In case someone is wondering where PavelX1 is getting these updated files from; he reports that he is using EMMA which is an official SE service software for service centers. Note : The update is also reported to be available via Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). Update List (Updated Feb 1) : Here are some things that i have noticed so far with this update. Note : Are you satisfi

Xtrakt – A 3D Game for Xperia

Now who was it that insisted that Xperia lacked a 3D chip? Thanks to itje for basing his latest Custom ROM on the leaked R3AA ROM and seperately providing CABs to some of the goodies available in the new ROM version, you can get your hands on ‘Xtrakt’ - a new 3D game by Sony Ericsson – right now! The game has really great graphics and runs quite smoothly on the device. Though it warns not to run any other applications when playing the game, it ran just fine with SPB Screenshot running besides it. Best controlled with a stylus, you control the main character of the game on a future motorcycle destroying monsters. Doesn’t sound too appealing, i know, but the game is actually good! Better than many games that i’ve played on my iPhone and opens the door to better gaming on Windows Mobile. (True that an accelerometer would have been quite handy in handling the bike, but stylus/finger control of the bike sits well with the game). To download head on here . You do not need to flash to th

Growing Panel – More to it… (Updated)

It turns out that the Growing panel has more to it than what was initially believed of it. It is not just a cool animated panel, but has a lot more to offer. First of all let me start off by complementing the animating panel. Having run it for a couple of hours now, the first thing i noticed was that it kept changing with time. The sun went down and the moon came up, and slowly made across the sky… and now the moon is almost out of sight and the sky a bit brightened, the sun should be showing up soon. (unfortunately i won’t be able to catch the sun rising as i’ll be asleep by then…) Next are the small insects on the panel. Bees flying by, worms crawling on the plants, fireflies in the air, and snails on the ground. Hit the bee or the ladybird and the phone buzzes, hit a snail and it hides itself inside its shell and stays there – hit it again to get it moving again, hit the firefly and it flickers… This is definitely a panel worth having! Now… the functionality on the panel. As e
