This link is to a little review I did a few days ago comparing the speed of the m600 to the jamin. The speed improvement with no ext rom is signficant. I believe the big difference seen is the mms....but I'm still not sure. Anyway, by not installing the extended rom....I saved about 4-5mb of ram and lots of rom.....and my device got a loooootttttt faster.
Hope this helps
Note that with kta's help, you can use this little tool to view the ext rom and extract what you want.

A very nice review you did there! Well done
Extended rom
are there any importent stuff there?
like fixes ?
No fixes that I know of....just some settings, some progs and the mms. I haven't figured all of them out....but most.
@kta...thanks

mikewchandler, long time.
Remember me from the days before you bought your eten, when you bought and tried the Magician?
Long time. Yeah, eten filled the gap for well over a year. But, the jamin is a really good device if you can get and keep it running smoothly. In fact, it is working flawlessly for me....the phone, gprs, battery, camera. It all works very well!
Good to hear from you again.
Is there any way to download both videos because I have problems to see them

Well, each one is around 15-20mb. I uploaded them as a stream so that it would be easy to view them without having to download them. What kinds of problems are you having?

If you are asking "is the jamin slower than the jam", then yes it is (with some things).
I am so proud of Sony Ericsson.
You know... Half of the company is from Sweden, where I live!!!
I just updated the phone to the new firmware. And I am almost shivering from proudness.
In ONLY FOUR MONTHS Sony Ericsson managed to make the Opera browser the default web browser on the phone. I can't believe how incredibly good they are!!!
I haven't notice anything else though, but oh my god... Isn't this more than enough to accomplish in ONLY FOUR MONTHS?
Anyone complaining on Sony Ericssson have to answer before me. I absolutely adore them. They are unbelievably good.
Anyone... Please don't tell me they managed to do anything else. I don't think I could take it. Making Opera the default browser almost made me faint. If you say something else was fixed too, I think I will die.

Cynic enough???
Here's what has changed:
Here are some things that have been noticed so far with this update.
The device now boots faster.
Faster menus - switching tabs in settings is quicker.
Programs launch quicker and file explorer is quick in loading folders.
The Vodafone ROM update (not sure if others have this) includes a couple of other additional trial games including Bubble Bash, Block Breaker Deluxe, and Tetris Mania.
Bluetooth Problem reported to be fixed. (I didn’t face any bluetooth problems with the old software and am not facing any now.)
Wi-Fi bug fixed.
Panel animation is a bit smoother but still laggy on switching from portrait to landscape and vice versa. Overall a faster panels experience.
Video playback has improved a lot! CP benchmark on a video resulted in 90-92% on the old ROM and is now increased to 98%.
Word prediction in most text-boxes.
Media Panel improvements including; music indexing is a lot faster, image scrolling is almost as smooth as it should be, changing tracks show information about the track at the bottom of the screen, and most importantly it now only shows pictures from the My Pictures and Camera folders on the main and internal storage – say goodbye to all those images from program files and windows showing up.
Camera improvements include faster focus lock and more stable focus. Preview is also smoother and introduces a new setting letting you define the frame rate to use for the video to shoot.
Furthermore, I think they updated the 3D drivers too. TouchFlo 3D is running way smooth - especially the Pictures and Media tabs! (flicking through pictures and music is quick and smooth) + Slide2Play is performing much better with this new updated ROM; quicker and smoother movement in landscape, switches album/song images correctly on song change, and so on.
http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/01/xperia-software-update.html
initially when i just flashed the new firmware it was noticeably faster. boots faster and faster file system. used to take 8 secs to open /windows folder and after flash took just 2 secs!
but now after reinstalling my apps, the file system speed has decreased back to that of the old firmware. still boots faster tho.
i have reported that my x1 is very fast but i dont have new firmware installed yet..
i want to ask you how to install the new ROM? i got the new ROM from the pavel and download it in rapid share.

I see the framrate option. But I can't confirm it really works. As a matter of fact, I even don't know what to expect. I didn't get 30 fps before, and I'm sceptic I will get it now. But of course I may be wrong here.
As for preview and faster focus lock, I can't tell the difference from before. For me it's about the same.

Again, I can't tell the difference. I doubt Sony Ericsson had in mind that you should use TF3D. So the possbible improvements in using TF3D is irrelevelant to me. Maybe it's faster for other applications using 3D, but I haven't tried them yet and thus can't tell.
One of the most annoying bugs is not fixed.
That does not apply to you using english keyboard. But for me, using the swedish letters Å, Ä and Ö it does.
Those keys seems to be implemented after all "normal" keys. So where all other keys seems to get into a keyboard buffer when you type them, the special swedish characters are written immediately to the screen. That means when I write a swedish sentence that should look like "Jag ska försöka träffa dig innan mötet." instead looks lite "Jag skaö fröska ätrffa dig innaön mtet."
That is, in my opinion a HUGE bug, which they should have focused on before doing anything else.
Regards,
Michael
@Michael, did you bother to tell them about your HUGE bug?

Yes of course I did. October 24 I mailed them about this problem.
Should have been enough time for anyone with some competence to fix it.
EDIT:
As a matter of fact I've mailed SE 24-25 mails on different matters on the phone. Most of them might be specific to the operating system which SE has no control over, but for me as a customer that really doesn't matter. But the response I've got was just that, freely translated from swedish: "SE has no direct control over the issues since that is a Windows Mobile specific matter".
They even told me that about the Radio Panel.
Do you understand why I am a bit upset?
I like the phone even though it still has some issues, but I really can't stand Sony Ericssons ignorance.

Oh, and by the way...
Why should people even have to "notice" differences between firmwares?
We should be informed about the changes without having to guess what's fixed, and what's not.
It is our equipment, and it's our time and efforts we put in it to try to see if we get any improvments. We shouldn't have to do that. SE should give us information on what is done so we could decide for ourselves if the update might be needed or not.

wow..
yes it's annoying.
no you don't get better help when sending 25 emails in a few months.
welcome to the world of consumer electronics!
Why do you think that the iphone doesn't have a copy/paste function after the product has been on the market for 2+ years?
they don't give a **** .. you paid already
I think some ppl here have fixed some issues regarding swedish key press's.
not sure but try to search.. have seen some stuff come by.. but I don't need it so forgot where.
good luck
Just tried to update on the SEUS (sony ericsson) and it didn't work. Said It was already up to date. When I check my rom version it is NOT the new version

As for the biggest BUG you are facing, i can't say much about that - since it doesn't realy apply to me, as you too pointed out. But maybe you should try flashing on a non-Swedish ROM and see how that goes? For definitely all the points i highlighted are pretty much what i saw - with both the Vodafone as well as the Generic UK ROMs.
FYI - when i say that they probably updated the 3D drivers... i'm not just talking about TF3D (i use that as an example 'coz it was usually buggy before this firmware), but games are actually running as they should have done before. No glitches or problems with Atomic Cannon, Archibald's Adventures, and more games that faced usual lags or slowed down a bit in menus or something like that. Furthermore, Slide2Play is also working way better with this updated firmware.
the framerate option on the camera is great and actually works. The media panel has been improved a lot! The bluetooh and wifi issues have definitely been fixed... and the device startup time has been improved too, way quicker now.
55 Seconds?!?!?! - i barely got that with my old firmware! Maybe it is the Swedish ROM? Definitely try out the Generic UK or Vodafone UK ROM for a few days...
Best Regards.

I use the Swedish updated ROM, and I, as other swedes with updated phones I've talked to, don't feel any improvements with the new ROM. In fact, the phone seems to be slower when using SPB Mobile Shell: When clicking programs, it takes some time before the icons appear. Same time when sliding into the second page of programs. I didn't have this lag before updating...

Seems to be buggy...
i can't watch picture on my Sd card... appear and disappear...
need more investigations !
Im using in my artemis and every 5 seconds return to the first photo, I can´t change the folder of the pics.
Maybe need other version.
I checked on the O2 XDA IIS so perhaps it is the software for Motosuft A3100/3000 when installed on other PDA will take a lack of functions
test on my kaiser...
not run
Tested on my TG01 : every 5s or so back to 1st photo and no way to use functions...
this will only work on qvga not vga? looks amazing i must say!!!
This was made only for the moto surf a3000. will work for the a3100 but not fully. so other devices may not work for.
work on my td2 but not fully (
it's 5 beautiful seconds Shame it doesn't work on other devices at this point and there's nothing in the registry that can be tweaked...
Looks Great man
Please VGA version......
yea it works on my htc fuze but not perfectly, but let me tell you, if we could get this to work better or closer to perfect wow would this be a bad ass app!!
wow, this is really nice!
will be waiting for a better bug-free version

Can you change the target folder for the loaded pictures? I try to change the target folder from my Storage Card from the option menu but it didn't work.
I was wondering if its possible to remap the camera button away from the track ball and to the volume rocker. This will make it easy to take those self portrait pictures with friends than guessing where the shutter button is on the screen.

I believe he means in terms of every single thing working properly, and the speed being up to par with say a stock Nexus One. I thought to myself that I would never switch from HTC Sense.. but the quickness of Cyanogen is just too nice to withdrawal from. Once we literally get the Desire on our phones (you know what I mean), I will go back.
Opening apps just feels so speedy on Cyanogen mod! I really just can't revert... As much as I want to...

Hey guys.
After trying dozens of ROMs for a week, I can't find a good sense rom. Nothing fancy. As close as stock 2.1 sense as I can get. I have a 1024 Tmous HD2. Preferably something like the DFT NAND ROM that I'm sure everyone is familiar with, but without any bugs.
Please?
Thankss

I don't think a ROM where you need to use an app to turn off the dang thing is great. As a matter of fact, the only thing I see in NAND development these days are these buggy Sense 3 ROMS, Sense 2.1 ROMs themed to the point of retina destruction and that MIUI crap.
Why has nobody made a stock Desire HD ROM for cLK.
To the OP: If you're a fan of MAGLDR, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159
Only thing wrong is the camcorder doesn't work with the stock HTCCamera.apk. (and another thing wrong with it is that it's for MAGLDR )
there are stock like hd with sense 2.0 which can be used with clk

I don't need any app to turn off the "dang thing" like you said....
Anyway, the issues i knew after 2 weeks of use:
Camcorder with higher resolutian than 320x240 does not work (i'm not a cameraman so it does not affect me...)
Graphical glitches (much less then in other NAND-roms. Really: not disturbing)
Thats it and all what i've noticed in 2 weeks use. ^^
After testing these two weeks, i only can say that the rom is fast, stable and (that's important i think) suitable for everyday use...

Hi,
I'm not sure why you are laying so much importance on such a minor aspect of a great ROM.
Have you actually tried it?
As it happens my power off (stock) button is still working.
But what's the difference between pressing the power button and pressing an app button.
Same result...
