Hi all. Thanks to Johnny Boy (a reader of the blog) for the notification… PointUI is now available for download! And they supposedly have a Panel just for Xperia!

I’ll be downloading in a bit and will post in detail with screenshots later tonight this weekend. To grab it yourself, head on over to www.pointui.com.

HeHe! Did I wake you up, Salman?

I'm really liking this panel. For me, it is certainly more stable than the Bell project, and i find it a lot more convenient than the touchflo3D panel i used to use. It also puts SPB panel in its place, i think.

Definately looking forward to the Pro version. I might even have a bash at trying to script applets for it, if they finish the tutorial on the site.

Very impressed and happy.

It's actually pretty good! But the only problem with it is that the Weather doesn't have my city!!

The cities are quite limited.. Do you guys know a way to add more cities?

Just check the community-forum, there´s a thread there about adding your own city. Although im not sure they´ve managed to get it working just yet =)

Not so impressed about this interface. It doesn't have my city in the list, the contacts include the SIM entries and there is no way to disable that, cannot seem to change the feed from google... and there is nothing special about it.

Maybe the "Pro" will have better options.

There are threads on XDA developers forum discussing the very issues mentioned here. There are several answers there worth looking into, particularly about adding cities.

Bear in mind, that this is a first release. Like a beta, really.
Bug fixes and improvements will come with a little time, i'm sure.
Be content, after all, this is a free program.

Well if you consider BETA is "Available" then perhaps you can put it that way. But at least put a bracket or something saying that it's just a beta??

Available means available for immediate download, but it definitely is important to mention that it is available in Beta only... I'll make sure to mention so in the future.

I'm leaning more towards SPB 3 at the moment, but just a heads up to say that PointUI 2 pro is now available for $19.95.

I havent had a good look to see what its got over the free edition, yet, but i have to say i'm interested.

See ya later. peeps.

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
