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!

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 – A Quick Review

SPB has finally released Mobile Shell 3.0 and simply put, it is Amazing! Once installation completes and the shell is launched, you are taken to a sleeker version of SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 home with message information, notifications, calendar, and weather. This screen is known as the Professional Home screen. But wait! with the flick of a finger up the screen, the home screen is switched to the lifestyle home screen which provides a completely different look and feel. This lifestyle home screen is fully customizable allowing the user to place widgets and application launchers of their choice on the screen as needed. Apart from application shortcuts and widgets, the user can also add calendar entries, images, contacts, and more. Furthermore, the lifestyle home screen is split across three pages – flick to the right or left to change to the page – thus allowing you to manage similar widgets on the same page. Clicking on the lower-left button activates the SPB Carrousel – a 3D interfac...

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...

SE Waiting for WinMo 6.5?

Ok… so before i post this, let me point out that this is purely my speculation and not based on any sourced info. We all saw the leaked beta R3 ROMs a couple of weeks back. With the new Panel Manager, the Growing Panel, the Xtract game, and more. But by the end of May we saw the release of the final R3 ROM on SEUS and it lacked most of the features and applications that were found in the leaked ROM. And then SEMC announced a new ROM in June – this was after the R3 rom appeared on SEUS. So what is Sony Ericsson up to? My hopes are – and i know they are high hopes but who knows! – that Sony Ericsson is delaying the feature packed update because of Windows Mobile 6.5! We all know that WinMo 6.5 has been released to manufacturers… so what do you think? You agree with me? Or should i simply dream on?
