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)
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

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?
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!
