New website style and improvements

Rss feed for topic Site NewsSite News - Posted by: christian On 21-04-2010 @ 16:52 - Updated on: 21-04-2010 @ 16:53

New website, new style and more

I did some work on the website. Like you can see it got a new style. I hope you like it and will tell your opinion about it.

Some code got updated, I fixed some bugs and finished the links section. You can now submit your own links and I can approve them to publice them on my website. Most of the work done is in the admin section since it wasn't updated for about a year so I wasn't even able to add a rom via the admin panel. But now I am! This way I can manage the site even better.

I hope you like the new theme. In case you see any bugs in the website please report them to me so I can fix them. If you have any hints feel also free to contact me!
More updates and new features soon!

New Christian's Rom 5.120

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 09-04-2010 @ 21:26 - Updated on: 20-04-2010 @ 23:06

New rom based on 23557, COM5. New X2 panelmanager and Sense 2.1 panel included.

 

Here's a new rom. After about a week of testing, tweaking and fixing. I feel that's it's time to release the new rom.

Version number is 5.120 and the changelog is really big. So here it is:

- new sys: 23557(Branche: COM5)(Timebomb fixed):
- Panelmanager updated to R133
- XKeyHandler updated to R113
- Xpframework updated from X2
- Xpfilterdeploy added from X2
- Tilewave panel updated(nice battery meter)
- Flashpanel files updated from x2
- Twitter panel removed
- Xperiatweak fonts removed(fixes the font issue in googlemaps etc)
- Icalparse updated to 1.3.0
- Manila_2_1_19202517_0 added(for the panel, you can also enable it as default)
- Sense 2.1 panel added
- AudioManager_Eng_1_7_19202329_h added for sense music tab
- Some files from other rhodium packages added to get all sense tabs working
- Ameba 0.8rc added for position fix(panels/sense/apps)
- Ameba settings 0.2 added
- Opera Mobile 10 set as default browser
- Arkswitch icon fixed in dutch roms
- Homescreen customizer really in dutch now on dutch roms
- MarketplaceRegionSwitch removed(not needed anymore you can change region with newest marketplace)
* Little bug at first run. Screen will turn white before "tap the screen" screen. Just wait and it will be fine in a few minutes

I will start with the sys. I didn't test much with the new sys but it seems to be a bit faster again.

Then we got all the new X2 stuff. The panelmanager has been updated and many other components. So we got a new panelmanager and tilewave panel. This tilewave panel got a nice battery meter now. Be sure to check it out!

I removed the twitter panel since I'm personally not using it and it isn't hard to just install it(cab can be found on Sony Ericsson website).

The fonts from xperiatweaks have been removed. This fixes the weird font issue in google maps and the sense panel. Like always Icalparse got an update again to version 1.3.0.

Then we got the special part. In the full rom we got a true sense panel now. It's based on sense 2.1(it's 2.1 because 2.5 needs to much space and then you can't install anything yourself anymore). Sense can also be unabled as default over titanium but it's ment to be as a panel for the rom. Hope you like this special suprise!

I included ameba to position fix sense and some other panels(so now the weird bar at the top has been fixed). Incase it doesn't work just open and close the start menu and it will be fixed. You can also change the settings of ameba with the settings app in the tools folder. It will also allow you to make the x button close the apps if you like(it's set to minimize from default).

Opera 10 is the default browser now. So when you press a link not Internet explorer but Opera will launch.

Then for the dutch rom Homescreencustomizer is finally in dutch now(took some time but it's working!). I also removed marketplace region switcher since it's not needed anymore because you can change region from the marketplace app.

And then we got a little bug in the rom that can't be fixed. I think it's because of the new panelmanager or other components that has been changed. But before you see the "tap the screen to continue" you will have a white screen. It's not really important since you can just wait and it doesn't have any side effects.

Hope you will like this rom. So don't wait any longer and flash!

Enjoy and don't forget to give feedback!

New Christian's Rom 5.000

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 30-03-2010 @ 19:25

New rom 5.000 based on 23554 online now!

A new rom with version number 5.000(nice version number since every 0.1 is another rom that means I cooked about 50 or more roms now!). I didn't know how to make this 5.00 really special but I think the sys already does since this is the fastest sys in a long time.

First here is the change log:

- new sys: 23554(Branche: COM5)(Timebomb fixed): really fast, new office icons
- Myphone updated to 1.6.2718
- Arkswitch updated to 1.1.4
- Icalparse updated to 1.1.8
- Menus fixed(thanks to duttythroy)
- ezinput 1.5(full/compact querty, phone keypad) removed(cab is available to install)
- ae button working now(because of ezinput removed)
- holding hardware keyboard button to get capital letter working now(also because of ezinput)

No new features in this sys except the excellent speed. Oh I almost forgot, they updated the office icons. Really something we were waiting for right?

Then we come to the second part of the change log. Some apps have been updated like myphone is now on version number 1.6. and Arkswitch and icalparse have been updated again.

The 23554 sys had a problem in the begin that menu's like the menu in file-explorer and sms couldn't be closed. But this has been fixed now(Thanks to duttythroy).

One of the big changes in this rom is the ezinput 1.5 that has been removed. Incase you don't know what it is read here. More users voted to remove it then holding it in the rom. But since I don't like to let users down I created 2 cabs that will give you the change to install it anyway and got the keyboards back. The cab can be downloaded here. The cab has been tested by me and everything was fine. In case you got any problems feel free to post a comment and I will try to fix it.

Now you're maybe asking why I would remove it. It's because of the last 2 points(and because I never used it anymore and it will give more free space). The ae key is working now. Also the capital letters will show up now by holding one of the hardware keyboard buttons.

I hope this is good enough for a 5.000. Don't wait any longer and just give it a try yourself, I hope you like it.

Oh, and don't forgot to drop a nice comment or feedback;)

Ezinput(Full/Compact querty, phonepad) cab

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 30-03-2010 @ 15:54 - Updated on: 31-03-2010 @ 16:09

Ezinput 1.5 cab file for dutch and english

Since the ezinput 1.5(full/compact querty and phone pad) keyboard will be removed in the next rom I created two cabs to install the keyboard if you want.

I made an cab for the dutch(NL, 0413) roms and one for the english(WWE, 0409) roms.

Download links can be found below or in my xda rom topic:

Ezinput(full/compact querty, phone pad) 1.5 keyboard:
- Dutch(NL) version(0143): Rapidshare || Sendspace
- English(WWE) version(0409): Rapidshare || Sendspace

I did some testing witht he dutch cab and it was working fine for me. Just be sure to install on the phone and not the memory card. If any problems arrise with the cabs just comment below and I will look into it.


Update: Here is also the Opera mobile 9.5 cab for the people who like it: rapidshare mirror

New rom coming based on 23554, no ezinput anymore

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 30-03-2010 @ 02:13

New rom coming based on 23554 and ezinput 1.5 will be removed from the next rom

First I would like to tell you that I'm going to remove the ezinput(full/compact querty, phone pad). But I already created a cab for the WWE and NL version so incase you really want it you can just download and install it yourself. This way other people can have the ae button and such things.

I'm also working on a new rom based on the newest COM 5 sys 23554. The 23554 had a big issue with the menu. I've worked on it for the whole evening but finally duttythroy helped me out and it got fixed. So now the only thing that is left is to test drive a bit with this new build.

The changelog will be online when I'm going to release the rom. Same for the zinput 1.5 cab. For now not much more information about the new rom just one thing. The 23554 is really fast. Even faster then the latest roms.

Remove ezinput question!

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 24-03-2010 @ 20:06

You can vote now if you like to have ezinput removed from the full rom

I'm wondering what you users think about removing ezinput 1.5 in the rom? Personally I never use it anymore and it messes up the ae key and some other keyboard related things. Are many people using it or is it almost never used.

Ofcourse we still have fingerkeyboard so not really a problem for me to remove it and it will save some space. Incase you don't know what keyboard I mean it's the full querty, phone pad and compact querty in the full rom.

I like to hear what you think about this! Please share your opinion now!

UPDATED: New Christian's Rom 4.920

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 18-03-2010 @ 01:49 - Updated on: 18-03-2010 @ 13:12

New rom based on 23549

Sorry for not releasing the promised 23547. I was a bit to busy. But here's a new rom again.

This one is based on 23549. It's running very good and feels much faster for me.

Below you can see the changelog of rom 4.910:

- new sys: 23549(Branche: COM5)(Timebomb fixed): fast!
- Opera mobile 10 Final added
- Opera 9.5 removed(we got a stable good working final opera 10 now, incase you really want it I can upload a cab)
 

Like you can see opera mobile 10 is final now. Since it's a really good browser I think we don't need version 9.5 anymore so that's the reason I removed it from the rom. Incase you really want it I can upload a cab of it. Just post a comment below.

Hope you can enjoy this new rom and will give feedback as much as possible

Update 18-3-2010: 4.910 will be removed because there is a small issue with this rom. 23549 has also been released so I'm not going to fix it but just release a rom with the newer sys.

- ArkSwitch_v1_1_0 taskmanager added(beside the x2 one, atleast for now)(tap aside the icons on the top to get in this taskmanager)
- Tilewave panel settings text fixed?(Please report if the fix works)

So I hope I've fixed the issue with the text in the settings screen from the tilewave panel. Please report if this is working in the WWE(english) roms.

I also added another taskmanager that is really nice. Hope you all like this. The X2 taskmanager is also still there but I'm going to test this arkswitch with you and maybe I will replace the X2 taskmanager in the feature.

For now have fun with the new rom and I hope you guys will like it

Panel manager crashes

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 17-02-2010 @ 11:28

Panel manager crashes

I got a question for you users. Like you know the panel manager is crashing sometimes. Since it was working perfect without any crashes till rom version 4.001. I think it maybe is the newer tilewave panel that is in the rom since rom 4.1**.

Is there anyone who has the same problem or was I just lucky because I didn't had any crashes with the panel manager on 4.001?

Wondering what you users think about this since for me this is the only thing that makes the phone crash sometimes.

Many new sys leaks again. The best looking sysses(do you spell that like this?) seems to be: 23534 and 28230.

23530
25005

More information about this soon but feel free to give your own opinion about the next rom and what you think of the hugh sys leaks list above.

New Christians Rom: 4.200

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 07-02-2010 @ 22:39

New rom based on 23529(COM5) sys

Here's a new rom. It's based on the newest 23529, COM5 sys. This sys includes the new office 2010 and threaded email. It's a quite fast sys but better it's really stable. Since the latest rom wasn't really that good when it came to the sys. It had some problems that's why I release this rom now this soon without many changes.

The themes are completely compatible(This because latest COM5 rom had some compatibility issues with the included themes).

Here's the changelog(Nothing really special):

- new sys: 23529(Branche: COM5)(Timebomb fixed): office 2010, threaded email, new add email screen, much more stable
- Homescreen customizer moved for NL language in NL roms.
- All themes are compatible with this COM5 build
- Minor fixes

Handleiding: telefoon terug in originele staat

Nieuw handleiding om je telefoon in originele staat terug te krijgen

This news message is in dutch because it's about a new dutch tutorial to restore your phone in it's original state in the faq section.

Ik krijg regelmatig de vraag hoe de telefoon weer in zijn originele staat gemaakt kan worden omdat de telefoon bijvoorbeeld opgestuurd moet worden voor reperatie.

Ik heb hier dus even een nederlandse handleiding over geschreven. Dus voor iedereen die dit nodig heeft het is hier te vinden in de rom faq section van deze website: http://www.christian-web.nl/sections.php?section=Xperia_rom&file=faq&id=10

Als er fouten in zitten of nog vragen zijn of onduidelijkheden hoor ik het graag(stuur maar een mail of plaats een opmerking onder dit bericht)

New Christians Rom: 4.111

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 02-02-2010 @ 02:18 - Updated on: 02-02-2010 @ 02:31

sys 28223

Here it finally is! The new rom!

It's about 2 am here but i'm a bit bored and don't have college tomorrow so against the promisses I will release the rom now instead of tomorrow.

This new rom with one of the biggest changelogs since the first roms will have some big changes. First thing is that we are back with the newest WMD branche build again: 28223. It's a bit hybrid since there are no WVGA and NL lang files available from this build. So I took the newest wvga files from this branche from 28214 and the NL language files are from the older 28205. This doesn't matter since the language files haven't been changed and the WVGA files are working fine. I also added the great Office 2010 from the latest COM5 branch builds. This office 2010(and also onenote) comes from one of the other leaks: 23519. I didn't manage to get threaded email in this build but this build is much faster.

But this wasn't the big change I was talking about. I was talking about that we left showcase for what it is and included in this new rom is the very nice x2 taskmanager. It's a modified version that is compatible with the 6.5.1/3/5 builds and is working very nice. Just tap the right corner on the today screen to see the taskmanager. Or hold the right corner in an app to close the app completely. Hope you all will like this new taskmanager as much as I do.

For the rest many app changes and updates, for example g-alarm has been removed since it wasn't working like it should anymore and the build in windows alarm is working very nice these days. If you want to put your own alarm sound in this alarm app just put the .mp3 or whatever it is in the rings folder in your windows folder. It will show up in the alarm sounds list this way.

Some other changes are homescreen customizer has been added instead of chome. It's almost the same but a nice feature of homescreen customizer is that you can add the weather plugin to your titanium. This has been requested many times before so be sure to check this out. Sipchange has also been removed and replaced with nuesip. Almost the same but nuesip is a bit faster so that's nice for the startup time.

Then some apps have been removed like callfirewall, pocket putty. This because I did never use them and I would like to get some more space in the full rom. Incase you liked them just install them yourself.

The tilewave panel has been updated again. Don't know what's new but maybe you guys can tell me.

Another great app I've added is total comander. It's in many other roms as a replacement of the explorer but I added it beside the original explorer so you can be free in the choice what you will use. Total commander got some nice features like a registry editor, much information about your files and much more.

I think that's it. Below you can find the full changelog like it's in the download database. For now enjoy the new rom and tell me if you like!

- new sys: 28223(Branche: WMD)(Timebomb fix not needed): Office 2010 from 23519(COM5), WVGA files from 28214, NL Lang files from 28205
- relaxion sound in rings folder now(windows)(This is my favorite alarm sound and it doesn't work in wm alarm if not in this folder)

- x2 taskmanager(6.5.* compatible) added(hold right corner to close app)

Comment feature is working again

Comment feature is working again

Just a quicknote that the comment feature for the news articles is working fine again.

I was coding for this website a few days ago and think I made a mistake by checking the wrong $_POST value so that's why the comment feature always returned an error when you tried to comment to an article.

It has been fixed now. If you see any other bugs or issues in the website please contact me.

UPDATED: To many sys leaks and information about n

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 31-01-2010 @ 22:59 - Updated on: 01-02-2010 @ 01:26

To many new sys leaks and work in progress changelog for the next rom
13 new sys leaks...

Like I announced on xda and in the shoutbox. I'm working on the new rom. It's based on sys 28217.

But a few hours ago there were more leaks. Over at DFT about 10 new sys build were posted.

So now my question. Do you users like to have 28217 in the next rom(it's fast and working fine for now!)

Or does anyone know some more about one of the below sys leaks and will recommend to use another for the next rom:

20100201_21890_AKU5088_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_23096_AKU5302_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_28214_AKU5303_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_22001_AKU5301_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_25001_AKU5300_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_23626_AKU5302_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_24601_AKU5300_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_24001_AKU5500_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_23519_AKU5500_CHT/CHS/WWE

20100201_21626_AKU5300_CHT/CHS/WWE

Just a quick note: 28214 is WMD and is just an older version then the 28217 that i'm using at the moment. It's fast. 21890 is an old style wm 6.5 build so isn't a possibility for this rom. 23518 got threaded email and office 2010.

Here's also a new work in progress changelog. I changed some things since the latest article:

- new sys: 28217(Branche: WMD)(Timebomb fixed): Office 2010 from 23518(COM5)
- relaxion sound in rings folder now(windows)(This is my favorite alarm sound and it doesn't work in wm alarm if not in this folder)
- removed g-alarm(Isn't completely compatible and build in alarm is good enough these days)
- quickmenu removed(was only added in the sneak peek changelog)
- x2 taskmanager(6.5.* compatible) added(hold right corner to close app)
- showcase removed
- Homescreen customizer 1.5 added instead of chome
- Nuesip added
- Sipchange removed
- Icalparse updated to 0.9.5
- Callfirewall removed(I never used this app and didn't really like it)
- Opera Mobile 10 updated to Beta 2u
- Tilewave panel updated to TileWave_091105_034_R1367
- Total Commander 2.52 beta 2 added
- Pocket putty removed

Please share your opinion about the next rom sys build.

UPDATE: And we got even more builds. Seems like itje posted builds:

Build 22004.5.3.2

Build 28223

build 23102
 

I´m going to check the 28223 build out soon, hope it´s even faster!

Information about the next rom

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 24-01-2010 @ 22:17

Next Christians rom(No eta yet)

Long time since the latest rom(exactly 2 weeks). Since then there where no sys leaks.

Since it didn't feel right to have the same rom for such a long time I start working on a newer rom. No ETA. for this rom at the moment.

I hope to release this rom when a new sys arrives but if that will really take this long I may just release a new rom without a new sys.

I would like to give you guys a sneak peek of what you can expect in the next rom.

Here's a changelog. Remember that this changelog isn't final and could be different from the rom that is going to be released.

- sys: 23518(Branche: COM5)(Timebomb fixed): Office 2010, Threaded email
- relaxion sound in rings folder now(windows)(This is my favorite alarm sound and it doesn't work in wm alarm if not in this folder)
- removed g-alarm(Isn't completely compatible and build in alarm is good enough these days)
- quickmenu added(tap left corner on top)
- x2 taskmanager added
- showcase removed
- Homescreen customizer 1.5 added instead of chome
- Nuesip added
- Sipchange removed(replaced with nuesip since that's a bit faster)
- Icalparse updated to 0.9.5
- Callfirewall removed(I never used this app and didn't really like it)
- Opera Mobile 10 updated to Beta 2u
- Tilewave panel updated to TileWave_091105_034_R1367
- Old HF Clear compatible with 23518 added

I think this changelog doesn't need any explanation right(Incase there are questions feel free to make a comment).

Since i'm not going to release this rom now and hope to get a new sys to include in this rom soon. I would like to ask you users a question.

What do you like in the roms and must stay and what would you like to see changed?

I'm not going to include more apps in the clean rom so you don't have to ask for that. I'm also not going to make a manila(sense) rom.

I hope I will get some feedback from this changelog and get a new sys leak soon so I can release this new rom.

Just incase you are wondering why showase has been removed. It's because it gives problems with some apps etc. The x2 taskmanager is working fine(this is the one that has been modified for wm 6.5.3). Quickmenu also got a taskmanager in it and can be accessed from everywhere in the rom. You can also close apps immediately with the x2 taskmanager by holding the right corner(there is no icon but just hold it on the clock)

This is it for now. Will come back to you soon with more information regarding the next rom

Bug Fix for Christian's Rom 3.904

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 03-01-2010 @ 22:54 - Updated on: 03-01-2010 @ 22:55

Bug fix to get the input button in the settings menu back

Seems like there is a small bug in the new 3.904 rom release of Christian's rom. The input button in the settings-> personal menu is missing.

It's because I removed the whole input reg entry instead of just removing the
redirect = ""

To fix this just import the included .reg file to your windows mobile registry and reboot. Now the input icon should be back in the settings menu.

New Christians Rom: 3.904

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 03-01-2010 @ 18:19

New rom 3.904 sys 28205

To begin a happy 2010 everyone! Here's the first new rom for this new year.

It's based on the new 28205 sys build leak. It's still WMD branche and got a few changes. From what i've seen the way themes are used and are is changed. All the themes(Christian, Christian2 and the HF Clear theme) had to be updated to be completely compatible with the new sys. Another thing that is working again is the name suggestion in the email/sms app. So you don't have to open the whole contact screen anymore to find the contact you are looking for.

I also updated the myphone again so no update needed after the flash anymore. Same for spb backup and icalparse, both are updated to the latest available release. Icalparse got a nice sliding config now.

Then the biggest change for this rom. The complete panelmanager has been updated with official files from the official x2 rom. There is a newer version of panel manager and pmlauncher is used now so there are very nice 3d effects now when changing your panel. I don't had any crashes for this panelmanager myself yet so it seems like it's quite stable and don't got any bugs. The tilewavepanel has also been updated to the latest version. I didn't have seen this myself but some users on xda reported that the daylightsaving time differents bug is gone now.

That's it for now. Enjoy and please give me as much feedback as possible

New Christians Rom: 3.810

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 15-12-2009 @ 10:21 - Updated on: 15-12-2009 @ 10:21

sys 28014

And here is the new rom! A new rom with the newest leaked WMD branche sys: 28014!

 

First here is the changelog:

- new sys: 28014(Branche: WMD)(Timebomb fixed):
- HF Clear removed from clean rom(wasn't ment to be in the clean anyway)
- Smartlock updated to 1.8E
- Xperiatweak 1.9 added(this one is working!)
- Mss converter updated to 1.09
- Modified audiopara for better and a bit lower sound(not normal x1 level but a bit lower then the old file)
- X2 drivers removed and neos2007 driver pack 3 added again(I think this is the reason why some people got problems with installing the rom)
- Cleaned up the rom:
- Myphone package cleaned up(all additional languages except WWE and NL removed) - 1,43 mb
- Panelmanger package cleaned up(All additional languages except WWE and NL removed) - 78,1 kb
- Tilewave panel package cleaned up(All additional languages except WWE and NL removed) - 18,0 kb
- Cnn panel removed - 2,83 mb
- Experiment13 removed(stupid game) - 5,28 mb
---------------------------------Total: 9,64 mb

 

One of the most important things in this rom release is the announched cleaning up of the rom. For the full rom it's about 10 mb that has been cleanup up.

I removed the additional language files form the myphone, panelmanager and tilewave panel since they were not used in the rom. I also removed two things. The cnn panel have been removed since I've never used it myself and most people did not. And the x3 game experiment 13 has been removed since it was just a stupid game. Both apps can be installed by cab by the end user. So don't worry if you really liked those apps just install them yourself.

Some apps are updated. Like mss converter and I tried the new smartlock. This has been removed since it had a big bug that suspended the phone again after unlock. So wasn't really usable.

I also looked into the audiopara. This file manages the sound and make it more loud or silent. It was really loud and bad till this rom and one morning when I woke up because of the x1's alarm I heard that cracking sound again(not really cracking but the quality was really bad because of the hacks). So I decide to modify the audiopara again and made the values a bit less so the sound is a bit more silent but much and much better. Now it isn't cracking anymore when I wake up. My day starts much better now;)

Some people had problems with rom 3.6 and 3.7. I didn't really understand why this problems appeared so I compaired the changelogs. It seemed like 3.5 was working fine for everyone. So the biggest change was the x2 drivers that had been added in 3.6. Since I didn't encountered the problem myself I couldn't check this out. But I removed the x2 drivers and put in the neos 2007 driver pack 3 again since this was really working fine for everyone. For the people who had problems with installing the rom or the customization process. Please give me feedback if this has been fixed or not.

Now a good thing for all users that really missed the Xperiatweaks tool. The version 2 wasn't working anymore but the 1.9 did so I included this one! Hope you like this since it's the best we can have at the moment(from the other side it's almost the same as version 2).

This was it for now. Enjoy and don't forgot to give feedback!

The full rom is getting to big

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 09-12-2009 @ 19:44 - Updated on: 09-12-2009 @ 19:53

A idea for the next rom

Not even 24 hours ago the latest rom was released. But i'm already thinking about the next rom.

The full rom is getting bigger and bigger. For me it's a bit to big at the moment. I installed some apps and only got 30 mb internal memory left now.

So for the next rom I was thinking about removing some apps that I don't use personally (anymore). I also will look into the packages and try to clean them up a bit since some contains all available languages and like you understand that isn't really necessairy for a dutch or english rom.

So I don't know what apps to remove yet. But in the first place I was thinking about some panels since there are just to much at the moment. Like the cnn panel. I haven't use it for the last few months. So I think I will remove it from next rom. From the other side users who liked it could simply install it theirself.

Maybe it's a full rom and need to contains everything. But there must be a limit. The rom is about 217 mb now.

So my question is what do you people think about this subject. I'm not going to remove much since almost all apps I like personally but I also would like to get some more free space(maybe 10/20 mb or something)

I would like to see you share your opinion below so I can see if anyone like this idea.

Christian's Rom 3.708 Released

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 08-12-2009 @ 22:22

New rom released. Version 3.708 with 28011 sys.

After a long wait I finally got my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 replacement. So now it was time to start cooking again.

Many people were already asking for a new rom with the newest sys and everything.

Here is the changelog for the new rom with version number 3.708:

- new sys: 28011(Branche: WMD)(Timebomb fixed):
- Tilewave panel fixed
- Opera Mobile 10 update to beta 2 and changed from cab to package
- Google maps updated to 3.3
- just minor but there is a spelling fault on the panel manager:
"Auto schakeln tussen panelen" --> "Auto Schakelen tussen panelen
Fixed
- Experiment13 WWE version start menu fix(should be in the games folder now, confirm please)
- Twitter panel added
- Hugo_Faria_HF_Clear_Theme added(thanks for this Hugo!, sorry it took this long before I included it)
(The name in theme selector is: HF Clear)
- New myphone added
- New Windows live(and messenger) added

 

So this new rom got the newest sys. 28011 from the WMD branche. There was a timebomb in it but it has been fixed.

The tilewave panel has been fixed. I just made some typos, so the files where not placed correctly in the directory that's why the panel didn't work in the previous rom.

Opera mobile 10 has been updated to beta 2. Since some people had problems with the customization and couldn't use the previous rom I made a package of opera 10 now. So the customization crash problem is gone now.

Google maps has been updated to the newest 3.3 on request(thanks for the hint that a new version was released)

Just because someone mentioned it in my xda-developers thread I also fixed the spelling fault made by sony ericsson by hex editting the 0413 file from the panelmanager.

I also found a new panel that looked very nice. It's a twitter panel. So I included it. If you want it in the 9 panel list you simply have to make it favorite.

Then a new theme has been added. It was specially made for this rom by Hugo Faria. He mailed me when my phone was broken and gave me the theme that he made for me. I didn't had a change to check it out since I didn't had a phone with wvga resolution. So I had to wait till today to test it and believe me. It's very nice. You can simply check it out yourself by going to the theme selector and select HF Clear.

Then today I was chatting with agent 47 about the opera mobile 10 that didn't work for me so he gave me another app to convert cab's to oem packages. It was very nice and also gave me the oppertunity to convert the new myphone and windows live and messenger cab's to packages so I could include them.

So now you never have to update them yourself anymore since they are included!

 

This was it for now. Rom will be up soon and hope you will enjoy it.

New rom: 3.511 build 28002 with X2 stuff

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 20-11-2009 @ 21:53

New rom wm 6.5.3 build 28002. X2 stuff is here!

Good news! A new rom from me has been released. I used my broken x1 for testing so it should be almost bug free(atleast I didn't find any bugs in the Full NL that I used to cook).

So now you're asking. What's new in this rom? There are some huge changes. First here is the changelog:

- new sys: 28002(Branche: WMD)(Timebomb fix not needed): IE Mobile updates
- Dutch/WWE 1.86/1.88 Rhodium(Touch Pro 2) Rom dumped and updated all rhodium packages and the language files
- AudioBooster_2_2_19174121_0
- BootLauncher_1_0_19152530_1
- DRMMiddleware_1_5_19142824_00
- DShow_2_0_19191728_01
- HTCScroll_2_0_19153028_1
- LongPressEndKey_1_2_19143124_00
- mHubVO_1_77_090609_X0
- ResourceProxy_1_0_19151630_00
- SharedModules_1_01_19143331_00
- USBtoPC_1_24_0_2
- USBToPCPopUp_2_2_19143124_1
- YouTube_2_6_19174121_00
- X2 Stuff added
- Panel manager
- Pixel City Night Panel
- Pixel City Day Panel updated version
- TilewavePanel(thanks for the patch)
- DeviceInformation
- Battery/Brigthness menu
- Opera Mobile 10 beta 1 added instead of 9.7 beta
- MarketPlaceRegionSwitch-1.1 added
- Buienradar panel removed(didn't work anymore)

 

Like you can see it's a really big list this time.

First thing is the new sys. It's from a new branche called WMD. Haven't seen much differences but it's a bit snappier so it's working nice.

Then a long list is in the  changelog about the rhodium(touch pro 2) files. Like you all know some of the apps in this rom are from other htc devices. Since the rhodium wm 6.5 rom was released not long ago. I dumped both the Dutch and the English one and took out all packages I'm using in my rom. So now everything is up to date and the best thing is all language packs for the dutch rom are finally completely compatible. In older roms I was always using some hybrid packages since I didn't had the dutch files etc from the newest packages. But now it's there.

This rom also contains much Xperia X2 stuff. A big shout out to Gtrab for sharing his X2 dumps. I took out all files I liked and changed and fixed it so it would work on the X1. The patch for the tilewavepanel was from someone else but I can't remember his name but thanks for that.

So now we got the x2 panel manager. It's really really great. It's fast, stable and nice. I did much and much testing with it the last few days and never had a crash or something. So I hope finally we got a good working panelmanager. I also took out some panels. We now got a night version of the city day panel and got a newer version of the city panel. One of the nice panels that was in the X2 was the Tilewavepanel. Very nice panel and it's also in the new rom. Some shortcuts don't work but that's not a really big problem. Think you guys will like it anyway.

I also updated the Deviceinformation and battery and brigthness apps from the settings. The ones from the X2 are much better. For example you can see your battery rate in percents in the battery menu and in the deviceinformation app you got much more information. Just check it out yourself.

Then we get to the latest part of the changelog. I updated the opera 9.7 beta to the new released opera mobile 10 beta. It got a new layout and some new options. Really nice and super fast.

I also added MarketplaceSwitch. It's a app to change your marketplace region. A few days ago office 2010 was released on marketplace but since i'm from the netherlands I couldn't download it. So I changed my region to USA and everything was fine. It's a really nice workaround.

Then some sad news for this rom. The "Buienradar" panel have been removed since it didn't work anymore. It didn't even open in the new x2 panel manager. As an alternative you can download the buienradar app from the marketplace. I'm not sure if everyone can see it but atleast the dutchies here can(And if you read carefully you see that you can use the marketplaceregion switcher to get it anyway).

 

This was it for now. Enjoy and don't forgot to give feedback.

Phone is back but still broken

Rss feed for topic Other NewsOther News - Posted by: christian On 19-11-2009 @ 13:40 - Updated on: 19-11-2009 @ 13:41

It's back! But still broken...

Oke, so I was happy my phone was finally back! It was in the same box as I sended it in. But without any protection.
So I thought how can they ever send it back this way. :S
But never mind I booted up the phone to try if they fix the problem.
It booted and was working fine. But then I switched out the keyboard. And there it was again the phone still turns off after a few seconds and restarts.
I was like what... I almost smashed it to the ground.
I'm waiting for my phone for 4 weeks and they didn't even repair it. Damn


So I called up Vodafone NL. They told me they were too busy to help me I could let my phone number there and they would call me back.
I didn't do that and called up one of the Vodafone stores but they couldn't help me and they would send it to the same place as I did for repair. So I told them: 'No thank you'.


After that I called Sony Ericsson xperia line. It was a really friendly guy and he understood that I was really pissed off. I told him I sended in my phone for 3 times and now it isn't even fixed. And I have to pay for every time I send it by post.
He said hold on for a minute and came back to me really fast. He told me he want to swap it for a new phone.
So I gave him my information and faxed the receipt to a weird German number. Now I just have to wait.
I will get a paper and have to include it too my repair and send it in again then I will get a new phone.
 

I hope it will be faster than last time since I'm getting really pissed about this stupid phone. It's broken all the time for me. I got it for 11 months now and it was away for repair 3/4 months.

I'm not sure if it works since I can't test myself because my phone is still away(it will be back in a few days from now).

It's ment for the people who would like those 2 panels on the clean rom and don't want to use the full rom.

Here is the download link: Rapidshare

Please give feedback if it's working(especially for the sms icon, does that go to the sms inbox since it should if fixes are applied properly)

Rss feed for topic Other NewsOther News - Posted by: christian On 12-11-2009 @ 22:33 - Updated on: 12-11-2009 @ 22:34

Yes I got a playstation 3:D

It was the uncharted 2 pack. So I also got uncharted 2. Haven't played it yet since I also bought Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and played that online for the whole afternoon.

Since I can't play online on my xbox 360 anymore because damn microsoft banned it. I'm quite happy I can on my playstation 3 now

It's a very nice console. I already had a wii and xbox 360 but I still like the playstation 3 so now I got them all.

UPDATED:Special Edition 1

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 10-11-2009 @ 01:17 - Updated on: 10-11-2009 @ 17:18

A really really clean rom like it's from SE but better!

You where maybe wondering about what the Special Edition project is about. It's a rom on request by michaelthemage and some other people.

It's like the clean rom but much cleaner. You may have seen some people didn't like the fingerkeyboard etc. But since this is almost a necessairy app I'm not going to delete it from the regular Clean version. Instead I created a special edition without everything just the Stock apps, R3AA beta updates and some tweaks so it's much faster.

I'm not going to update this special edition with every new Full/Clean update since this version was never planned and it will be too much work to create a third type of roms for me. So maybe I will update in the far feature, but don't expect it and atleast not soon.

For the package list of this type you can look here. Hope you like this and hope to get some feedback on this version but don't expect me to update it.

Enjoy!

Update: New version has been released and old version is removed. This one should be fine.

New rom 3.400 and news about special one time rom

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 09-11-2009 @ 21:09 - Updated on: 09-11-2009 @ 21:09

New rom released version 3.400 based on 23506 COM5 sys

A new rom is released, version 3.400. It's based on the newest COM5 sys 23506. Not much new, atleast I haven't found much new in this sys. For the rest I updated googlemaps after some people told me there was an old version in the rom so now it's up to date again:)

Roms are all ready and uploading will begin really soon so stay tuned(This means clean and full are ready this time instead of full first and clean after that)

I'm also going to make a special edition rom on request of some people. This rom will have really nothing in it, just tweaks and SE stuff(R3AA beta and stock stuff).
This rom will be released soon work on it will start soon. It's just an one time release since i'm not going to update it(atleast not with every new build). This because It wasn't really my intention to make a real clean rom since I think the clean rom is good enough. So don't expect updates on this rom it's just for the few people who requested it.
If you want the latest sys and latest updates you still better can use the Clean or Full edition since I will always update those roms.

More on this special edition rom soon. For now enjoy the new roms.

Update: I'm running the 23506 on my diamond now and everything seems to be fine for now. Will test a couple of hours and release the rom tonight if not any problems shows up.

My Xbox 360 got banned from Live

Rss feed for topic Other NewsOther News - Posted by: christian On 09-11-2009 @ 03:37 - Updated on: 09-11-2009 @ 03:38

Live is over for my xbox 360 but I don't really care

Finally it's done. My xbox 360 got banned from xbox live yesterday.
Ofcourse it was expected for a long time since it was modified to play backups. But it still sucks

I don't really care about it since I never play online but I also can not check marketplace anymore or get the game updates and dashbord updates easily.

But the good thing is, now I can continue playing my favourite games without being scared to get banned or whatever so maybe it isn't that bad:)

For the people who like to know what game I was playing when I was banned. It was GTA: Episodes from liberty city(So it's a wave 4 game). My xbox 360 was on the newest Ixtreme 1.6.1 and I always checked my backups. Wondering if they could fine where this whole ban wave came from since c4eve wrote on irc that the firmware could still not be detected.

Remove Fingerkeyboard from clean rom?

Rss feed for topic Xperia RomXperia Rom - Posted by: christian On 05-11-2009 @ 22:38 - Updated on: 09-11-2009 @ 04:01

Do you like me to remove fingerkeyboard from the clean rom? Vote now!

I got some questions about the fingerkeyboard in the clean rom. Seems like many people don't like this and want to remove it.

Do you users like me to remove it from the clean rom or let it in like it's now?
I like to hear your opinion about it and vote for out or in!

You can vote by commenting to this news message. I will count all votes and decide after that for the next rom(no ETA. at the moment)

Update: Here are the results: 4-8 so the fingerkeyboard will not be removed. But for the people who will like this I will make one really clean rom without anything added. I will not update this rom or give any support via updates patches or fixes but it's just on request of some people. There is also no ETA for this little project

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.1 Beta is out - NOT THE PANEL

Rss feed for topic Other NewsOther News - Posted by: christian On 05-11-2009 @ 20:46 - Updated on: 05-11-2009 @ 23:22

Just a quick note that spb mobile shell 3.5.1 Beta has been released.

Thought maybe some people like this news since i've read many posts in my xda forum thread about people who are using spb mobile shell.
This is not about the panel since only 3.01 and the older one is available as a panel. There is also not a way to install this software along side the panel edition or upgrade the panel edition included in my rom with this file. It's just for the people who want to use the standalone edition.
I think this version is just the trail so you need to buy it if you want to use it after 14 days(I think it's 14 days but i'm not really sure).
For now here's the link and enjoy: Click Here
