X1 to get 6.5 love officially?

itje at XDA-Forums has posted the following on a thread:

Nice little treat for you guys.

I GOT A REAL OFFICIAL 6.5 XPERIA ROM, YES, YOU READ CORRECT...OFFICIAL

The Build in the rom is a older 6.5..but what is important is:
-New XIP (real x1 nk)
-New OEM DRIVERS etc
-Some drivers from x2
-New netcf 3.7 (final)

If that is true, can we expect the new home panel to make its way to X1 officially as well? What do you think?

Not sure about the new home panel but it's still fantastic news if true. X1 was released just a "few" months ago so I'll appreciate a major update. 8)
Come on SE... Just do it!

Itje's new ROM is good. Real good!
Been testing it for a day now.
For a 6.5 its pretty quick. Ive noticed some of my games much zippier. Used to get some lag, but very rare now.
The touch flo he has used is pretty snappy, too.
Coupled up with the SPB 3 Panel, Garmin XT in the Navigation panel and the latest Core Player, my X1 is more complete than its ever been.

Happy, John

I still cant see SE officialy giving this as a free update to X1, though.
There is not sufficient difference to make X2 succesful, otherwise.

I would think it cant be too long before someone gets there hands on the new panel stuff.
Once that happens, it will be ported and made available at your favourite XDA website. No fear.

hope your words come true soon before i lose interest in the x1

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.
