The next TouchFlo 3D experience – Comes to Xperia

Update: Beta 2 of the cooked ROM has been released. Fixes the Contact tab issues and other minor bugs. It is by far the first cooked ROM that i am thinking of keeping!

You have no doubt heard of the new features coming to TouchFlo 3D in HTC Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2. Improvements and new functionality includes Facebook functionality, a deeper contacts integration, a new calendar tab, and most importantly, TouchFLO 3D now works in landscape.

To see the full list of changes, head on over to Pocket Now. Or to watch a demonstration of the new TouchFlo 3D on video, head on here.

When HTC showcased their new devices with the updated TouchFlo interface, someone at XDA Forums released a custom ROM for Touch HD that came pre-installed with it. Being the same resolution, i was expecting it to hit Xperia soon. And now, thanks to itje at XDA Forums, we have the new TouchFlo 3D ported onto Xperia. Head on over here for more information.

Note: This is not a final version of the upcoming TouchFlo 3D. I won’t recommend anyone to try and install a cooked ROM, so proceed with caution. (You will require to HardSPL your device in order to flash the cooked ROM)

I am in the process of downloading the cooked ROM and will be flashing it onto my Xperia real soon.

Not sure when a Panel is available, but CABs are now being posted on XDA Forums. However, though the cooked ROM is working exceptionally... the CABs have bee reported to cause problems or fail to install for most.

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

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
