Xperia – Generic UK ROM Updated

Those Xperiancers who have the Generic UK ROM and have been holding out on updating their device in wait of the R2 release of the ROM can now breathe easy. Yes! Sony Ericsson has finally released the updated Generic UK ROM. Why the delay? No idea. I’m downloading the updated firmware now to move from the Vodafone UK R2 ROM to the Generic R2 ROM. To download, go here. (Thank you PavelX1 at XDA Forums for allowing easy access to these ROM files)

hey man,
i'm kind of confused right with all this. i guess its too much tech for my brain to handle.
my question is, what is this GENERIC UPDATE? what does it do? i don't seem to get what the HARD SPL is as well.
i went to the xda-developers page -> then to the rapidshare with all of the updates. i dont know which one to download. there were like 3 UK ones. i'm in the middle east by the way. so which one should i download?
and i tried update my x1 using the UPDATE SERVICE but it kept "identifying ..." for like 3 hours. and i tried it again and it didn't even reach that part.

I'M LOST WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Well... you want to download the Generic UK one, not the Vodafone UK or the O2 UK one - the reason is that Vodafone and O2 ROMs contain network specific settings, programs, and trialware - which you won't need 'coz you are not using either O2 or Vodafone.

I am in Pakistan, and i'm using the Generic UK ROM.

As for HardSPL... don't worry about that one. You usually need that to flash a custom ROM that can't be applied directly. Here you don't need that.

Best of luck!

Touch-IT v4.5 ROM – The Best Custom ROM

Ever since I got my Xperia, I have been following the XDA Forums closely. itje at XDA Forums has continuously grabbed my attention, most recently with the Touch Flo 3D Landscape (from Touch Pro 2) custom ROM. Though it started off as a Beta with tons of issues, he updated the ROM to a new Beta version from time to time with various fixes and additions. He recently released the final version of his Custom ROM (with of course Touch Flo 3D taken from the prototype models of Pro 2), and since then i have had the best Xperiance with my Xperia. The Custom ROM is by far the best ROM i have used so far on my Xperia. Really great performance and fast speed. Touch Flo 3D itself is running way better than i have ever tested it before. Thank you itje for a great Xperiance! If you want to give this custom ROM a try, head on here . Note : Installing a Custom ROM requires HardSPL. HardSPL your Xperia at your own risk.

CNetX - Face Contact

CNetX’s Face Contacts is a really cool-looking contact management utility which integrates directly into the device’s Today screen. Featuring an intuitive 3D interface with kinetic scrolling (iPhone-like), Face Contact allows you to add, remove, or edit contacts without having to switch between different apps and lets you sort by different fields as well as define a custom order in which the contacts appear. You can adjust, replace or remove contact’s pictures, with photo cropping and rotation. Furthermore, you have full control on display settings and 3D rendering options including photo shape, transparency, and reflection effects. Works perfectly on Xperia! And best of all, regardless of the number of favorite/quick-access numbers you want, the application uses as little screen height as possible! To try it out, go here . Some screenshots:

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.
