Hm, is it possible to just install it "as is" on a X1 with a custom WM6.5 rom? Probably not - right?

Ultrashot has already posted the ported cabs

nice spot! also good to see sony giving out the updates as soon as they can. they could of just left this until the main update was released... now to see if it makes any difference...
update. well i dont know if its me but it seems much much faster switching from portrait to landscape when opening and closing the keyboard
it now vibrates when recieving a text when the phone is in sleep mode. still doesnt wake the screen up but that might be on purpose...
i spoke too soon, its stopped vibrating again.lol. it seems to work for the first few messages then stops like before. oh well, better luck next time.

Yeah i too was hoping they would fix the notifications error, but maybe with the MR1 release we'll see it fixed

Cool, Updating my phone now.
Great to see an update but also kind of sad to watch the video demonstration and be told that the mr1 update is coming at the end of march (was hoping sooner).
-edit-
Neat, the dialer & the spb shell feel a little more responsive (dialer, contacts, clock all seem to launch faster, switches between landscape and portrait mode quicker).
Gives me a lot of hope about the full update later this month. =)

My X2 will be soon here...

where did you see the video? i kind of assumed it would be late march when they announced it, wouldnt put it past them to be first week in april to be honest lol. they probably released this small update to keep everyone sweet while theyre waiting. its gradually becoming a usuable phone

First link (http://xperiancers.com/2010/02/26/x2-application-update-at-www-sonyericsson-comupdate/) Scroll down a bit to the youtube video, it's the x2 project manager going over the update. He mentions that the update is just a small patch and that the full update is coming late march.

ooh that wasnt there when i read it

wow, windows mobile look quiet sad next to this. Only thing I dont know is if program for windows mobile will still work correctly on it. or if there is any option for the background colors
Wow...I can't wait
Quite interesting Homescreen for a Windows Mobile phone. Wonder if it runs on Adobe Flash Lite? May try it out.
I saw this a few days ago and nearly wet myself.
I hope it's highly customizable as it looks like it has a lot of potential.
can't wait

This is "just" a frontend/launcher, so everything will work as usual.
I wonder if there will be something like "S2U" or something else... i LOVE this feature.

Waiting till the end of the clock.
nothing showed.
Can't download.
Nadavi
well, clock reached zero, but only the text "pointui.com" appeared. When visited the site, nothing happened, so, i'm guessing the clock has to reach zero in whichever time zone 'they' are....
Will just have to keep waiting until that happens, i.e. keep checking the website
Haha you didn't really believe this would work?
I hope it's skinable, it looks unpleasant
clock is not zero for me.8 hours is remaining
It's there to download!
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
just downloaded and installed.
works a treat, just dont forget to turn off touchflo b4 you install
Would like a black skin, but these guys have done an awesome job. Interface is realy smooth and simple to use.
Good to see the Aussie blokes making it a New Years day present for us.
The rest of the world will catch up soon.
Happy New Year all.

xPect, ill try it out tomorrow! But my general ISP (at home) has blocked the link you gave me. lol our ISP is a tyrant. (nation wide too - look up Etisalat).
eAzYE666, I do and it did not occur to me to use it lol. I guess it didnt because currently I dont have a data package because my ISP (referred to lovingly above) charges U$D130 for 10GB which I think is too much since I am already paying U$D120 for a 4mb DSL line at home.
old mind .....
this looks great. Any ideas on release date? Also this is going to need lots of skinning help cause the preview video jsut looked awful.
nice to see a new version
lets wait and see if they put in all i need to get myself interested in it again...
Thanks for posting that. It looks very promising. I just wish they would've gone into the non-professional part of the application. We briefly saw the widgets but he didn't go into it at all. Maybe that part isn't quite ready for public display.
It's always interesting to see how people can not respond to the questions asked.
The video linked to in 1st posting is a good example for that.

Sorry guys, but i´m in Barcelona on MWC now and cant answer as fast as u wish sometimes. I realy do my best to manage the time with getting interviews and posting here in the forum.
@JukEboXAuDiO

New Facebook app from WM 6.5

found this in another thread, for X1 users this works great and gives a slightly better experience than the panel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379

Yes, been running it for a few days on my X1 with no problems.
Prefer this one over the panel too, allows me to do other tasks and leave it running in the background
Ya, this is really awesome! I can't believe i can do so much without using Opera!
wm6.5 is out??
It's not bad but it doesn't refresh like it should so you find there are posts, status updates, photos and all sorts of stuff missing from the news feeds.
Here too. And it's not updateing my status. But, overall, it,s ok.

I believe the updates are staggered so your connection isn't flooded with continuous updates, although when i refreshed it seemed fairly fast. WM 6.5 Beta is out, they pulled the link on XDA after M$ complained that their CAB had sneaked onto the net. FYI, i did a search and haven't found it anywhere... but i'm waiting for 7 anyways... not a Honeycomb Kid, myself.
Just a note to say this app has been updated, and is now officially out. It has fixed a few things, such as being unable to refresh your own wall, but frustratingly a few bugs still exist (for me anyway). Get it here: http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=74767568466&h=HojHN&u=0JC5r&ref=mf

There are a tons of WM 6.5 ROM's out there, 6.5 is far more than a CAB, even though it isn't much more than 6.1. The honeycomb is long gone too. Titanium is really the best part, kinda makes panels, TF3D, anything else obsolete.

err, that's a link through btw. goes somewhere else, not officially facebook. think i'll skip it as i'm generally distrustful.
Lol ok fair enough, I was just posting the link from the official Windows Mobile Facebook page. Here is the actual page minus the Facebook frame: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx Trust is good
nice one, thanks.
it's also over in the hacking forum:

fyi,
good news: you can comment on statuses now.
bad news: you can't see other people's comments on statuses (nor even if there are any) without clicking on the status, going to their profile and then changing to the wall tab.
am i the only one that primarily uses facebook for commenting on statuses and reading other people's comments? pain in the arse!
i have lost kinetic scrolling from the beta to the offical rom.
has anyone got kinetic scrolling?

Got a X10

Just got an X10, i've been using Legend for some days now (im in the business, as you might imagine)
The first thing that struck me: the keyboard... It doesn't register all key presses, compared to the Legend, it's really frustrating to writing on X10.
I've been happy with the speed on Legend, and thought that X10 would be even more blazing fast. But it isn't. Actually, its slower (!) I tried install Raging Thunder II on both phones, and it's running more smooth on the Legend.
X10 have way better hardware, but an older OS. Don't know how much this has to do with the fact that X10 seems slower than the Legend.
Would be interesting if the Desire ROM could be installed on X10
For now, I feel that HTC has done a way better job, customizing Android on a phone, and i'm gonna stick to Legend as my primary phone. But gonna use X10 for some weeks with twin simcard. Just want to test it properly
Try SmartKeyboardPro on X10. Must better that Standart Keyboard.
Try Asphalt 5 on X10 to see whats a good game
What compilation do you have? IE, your firmware.
Where did you get the X10? are you in the UK?

Yes. I think there's a free version named SmartKeyboard (without pro). If not try to change from standart keyboard to Android Keyboard.
X10 keyboard has a good layout but doesnt register some key. I had the same problem you have.
Can you tell me your firmware version, pls? Just to compare

Yeah
The screen is really nice. big and high res.
I don't mean, and try to be negative about X10. Guess I really was a bit surprised that i found Legend (low cost Android compared to X10) to be a better phone.. for now.. It might just be that Android 2.1 runs way better. I don't know.. But ok. i'll be fair. Going to update this post in a few days, gonna use them both for a few weeks
did you purchase it from an online store or did you get it from a business or something?
My delayed X10 arrives tommorow...
Ive also used the Legend since it came, and love it!!!
However, its the X10 I was looking forward too....
So, Ill give it the easter vacation to make a decition on what phone to keep...
Probabely both....
it comes with android 2.0 right? or is it 1.6?
it comes with 1,6. an 2.x update will come later this year(hopefully this year)

thats what I thought, but I ordered mine and they told me that its coming with 2.0. Everyone says it ships with 1.6, but he insisted that mine will ship with 2.0. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Arxx can you double check and see what yours is
anyone tried download dolphin browser from the market and multi touch working on dolphin browser
Yes, please. I really wish someone already has a X10 in hand, please test if multi-touch zooming works in Dolphin browser. I ordered mine, and mine is shipping on its way. I'm so worried about the negative multi-touch news came out today.

Multi-touch zoom will not work in Dolphin, or any other software. SE have confirmed that the X10 lacks any kind of hardware multi-touch support. No hardware, means no support. Period.

Just tested, and now i can confirm that under Dolphin browser, there is no multi / dual touch . Hope with Android 2.x there will be at least dual touch...

Now I've been sitting with my X10 for a couples of hours...
..and Im not really impressed. I do not like the keyboard, the device feels slow, timescape I know I will never use... Touchscreen feels to plastic-like..
The legend feels 10 times as good...
And dont get me started on exchange integration.. That part is just a joke...
It works kind of... But its just a mess....
And I who really was looking forward to this phone :/

Android 2.1 running on x10, (VIDEO)

I dont know if this has been covered yet but i thought you guys would be interested in this information
www youtube com /watch?v=2z-9XgbehQ4
the video shows an X10 running android 2.1, its not clear as to wether its rooted or not but its definately running it
(cant post links, so u have to edit the link before pasting it into your browser )
Pretty nifty! Took forever to boot, hey? Besides the boot logo the fw didnt look SE whored out. Perhaps it is root? Or maybe an early se build?
This video was posted today in youtube.lets hope the guy tell us how he did it
that's a crappy video, hard to see. must have been taken with a crappy phone lol
I must get in touch with that guy to ask him about multitouch capabilities. If this is the official clean 2.1 we can get the final response (the only limit, in this case, could be the bootloader but I don't think so).
the first logo looks like an Arrow sign , may be downloading something to the phone or something else that is why it took that long

And Synaptics has stated several times to me <<just wait and see>>. I believe in multitouch, IMHO it's only a patent problem
For the record Synaptics managed to soft enable multi touch gestures on there standard trackpad panels, its more than possible to enable it with a little bit of fancy work (eg registering each touch seperatly at high speed and then relaying it as a single multi touch gesture to the OS). Multitouch is what everyone is obsessing over today then eh? weather its possible or not is no one else at all at interested in who even did this let alone how?! Peace and love.

ya .. except the boot logo .. cant seem to see anythng else ..
it can also be some emulator+remote desktop video, as it was with htc hd2 running wp7. i am staying calm in this case, no additional info, nothing written there.. even the video quality. from my point of view it is not real.

If its fake i say we get a hold of his email and email him in bulk stating how much of a **** he is, i however dont think its fake, if it was you would expect much more input/response latency than we are seeing, it looks native, and if he where to fake it he would have used 2.2......
Yes, but if you run it in emulator and access it via wifi in local network, the responses also can be quite good.. And as far as I know, hacking the bootloader is really not easy, and honestly - if I'd done it, at first I would write some informations about what I've done.. And not just some "nothing saying" video on youtube..
yeah i think its a little bit conspicuous but.. im not looking for reasons that its fake, lets just take it at face value for the moment. i still am of the view that remote connection isn't as fast as navigation in that video, im going to test this out tonight.
do vanilla 2.1 have a blue status bar like in our 1.6 X10 ? if not it maybe an early SE 2.1 build that they promised because i clearly see a blue status bar and as you guys mentioned the boot-loader is hard to crack
not sure about that ive heard the phone can have multitouch

Can you please give your delusions a rest? I mean... I respect that you wanna give yourself false hope, but please don't give disappointments to the community around you.
It's a fact that it's been officially announced that the hardware doesn't have the capapilities.
I can introduce you a good search engine called 'Google', and to can visit the official Sony Ericsson blogs for the facts.
Sigh...
