Hello Xperia patient fans,
I installed Android 2.1 yesterday (don't ask me how, I have good connections) here are the proofs:
http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxIIdFZ69YU
and here are my first impressions.
- First of all the system is faster (only after few hours of use it really became faster).
- The interface is really nice, a lot of improvements in all details.
- Address book is integrated with Facebook contacts in a very nice wy, you get all updates directly in your phone book
- The camera records in HD at 720p. Here are the proofs (choose 720p): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXztObF4hs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M01GXXzSSQw
- There is no Multitouch
- Live wallpapers are included
- No pintch and zoom
- Moxier mail is still there
- Battery seems to last longer (I'll confirm after longer usage)
- Phone dialer application is improved
I'll see more and come back. If you want me to test specific features leave a comment here or on my blog: http://mugur-ionescu.ro/android-2-1-pe-xperia-x10.html

- There is no Multitouch

3D Gallery is the default Eclair gallery, that has been replaced by Mediascape.
It is still there though in the /system/app, I saw it in the system dump you provided us.
If you choose to place the Picture Frame widget on your screen, it opens the 3D gallery to choose a picture from.
And for the love of God, you have -theoretically- lost your warranty since you installed a pre-release of the firmware, so please try the one-click app to root!
Please please please...

sorry i don't have it. But i read somewhere that the widget called "Picture Frame" use 3D Gallery.

Hi,
A friend with an iphone showed me an application that got me well impressed..
The applications shows several different types of fish swimming in the water..
Taping the screen was like dipping your finger in water and shaking it..... quality sound and picture... this also made the fish scamper...
Is there a similar application for the HTC diamond? i know its totally useless but would be an awesome show-off application..
beany
That would be a very cool app.
An aquarium to "carry away" ;D
Thats already discussed under G-Sensor applications.. If someone could make something like it.. it would be cool
i remember seeing the sony xpedia demo... has a similar app...
when it launches hopefully someone can export the cab
This is what i so on the iphone:
http://www.palluxo.com/2008/08/25/koi-pond-app-virtual-fish-pond-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch/
Developers, we need you to make this??

i'ts actually an X1 home screen not just an app. The fish not only follow your touch on the screen, but also alert to notifications such as missed call's etc (if i remember correctly the fish changes colour to show missed calls / bluetooth on etc - but don't hold me to this)
Can developers actually create this for the HTC DIamond?

Of course they can! But they dont have this much time to play with useless applications guaranteed
But I still hope someone will make it :-9
This may be usefull when the diamond is in the craddle i think !
it just looks really good on the iphone....
i don't remember where from in the forum but i downloaded a very similar app.
i uploaded it for you or anybody else interested. this is not my application and i am sorry i can not remember who's, but here you have it
http://rapidshare.com/files/146610608/Flash_Ripple_Fish.zip
yeah, thats the one...
it needs improving though... but the foundations ARE there....
can a developer improve the interface, graphics, sound ETC ETC ...
can the app on the IPHONE work on the HTC?

the benifit of videocalling is not to see your face only ,you may need to show some one a thing when shopping or doing any thing before doing it ,video conference is only one benfit of it
dual post .................
There is very little point in video call without seeing the other persons face.
I understand where your coming from with needing to show someone something.
But I've never ever needed to show someone something that badly..
It would be nice, but we'd never use it.

I agree, plus, if the other person can video call (Which is also expensive), they likely have a phone that will accept a picture message or a video message that our HD2's can send (And with good quality results too, better quality that front facing cameras too).
Without a front facing camera I can't see the point either.
Basically there is so little demand that unless HTC were getting hammered with requests I doubt they'd do something about it.

can we do it by our selves (take drivers and activate it) ,and does any one tried activating it
The SE W950 which didnt have camera at all had video call.
the person that cald you coud see your picture, an you could see his/her video stream.
is it pointles, I dont think soo

to show someone something i can put the call on hold, take a picture -> send it via mail/mms, and then carry on talking. hence, no need for video calling
ON MY REGION IT IS VERY CHEAP TO MAKE VIDEOCALL THAN SENDING MMS videocall is as expensive as normal call on my country ,so better for me to havevideo call

I wasnot shouting i , forgot to close the cabs lock
Here is how to do it:
- install "HTC Dialer disabler (MS Dialer enabler).cab"
- soft reset
- install "Rhodium dialer.cab"
- soft reset
Now you should have the video call option in your dialer.
Here in Macedonia we have cheap video calls and indeed it's cheaper than sending mms. As I work in one of the mobile operators I get unlimited video calls for free. So I really miss it

have you tested it and you could make video call ,or only we get the option without being abled to be used and how to return the original dialler
apart from the official facebook app are there any alternatives to it because its a bit of a hit and miss for me.
Nope not really mate..
There is touch.facebook.com though in your browser
Yeah, the 'official' ones always seem to be a bit picky - apart from the Apple one it seems... I've had comments fail to post using the WM Marketplace version of the MS FB app every time when I use the physical QWERTY keyboard, but hardly ever when usin gthe on-screen one, for example. It never failed to post a status update though, on either kb
if you don't like the Touch site, there's always the half-way version at m.facebook.com.
i'm using babbler atm its amazing and notifies you on anything you want instead of just the handfew offered by the official app. gotta say the one for blackberry was actually on par with iphone i gotta say.
Yeah, I used Babbler for quite a while on my G1 - not got around to installing it on the Desire yet. Best thing was that it notified you whenever someone "liked" your status or photo, which no other app does AFAIK
What about bloo? Ive installed that atm cus Babbler seemed slow..
I only had lite though, dunno if pro is faster?
Bloo has always been good IMO
Whats the notifications like? No ones sent me anything yet so i dunno! lol
bloo keeps not letting me read peoples post saying i'm not their friends etc?

Has someone cracked the bootloader now then
It looks like he just updated to android 2.1. Is your friend and employee of sony ericsson?
It's a bad quality video, but thanks for sharing.
guys... cut him some slack for sharing... It's not that the video quality is bad (ok maybe the direction of the movie is bad... First minute of watching I was wondering if it's supposed to make me fall asleep watching the sony ericsson sign, or maybe a ghostly image pops up with a scream so loud, it'd scare the beejeezus outta me)
The movie screen resolution is actually meant to be small, not full screen size of your monitor.
Keep the screen resolution to its original % and you'll see the image just fine =)
But I'm just curious... Is that phone owner a hacker or something?
He should get arrested if he is =X
painful to watch....
Hi Thanx for the movie.
Could you ask to your friend if he could extract the full rom of this device ?
This is wonderfull if we can have those files for all xda's dev !
Maybe i'm wrong ?

Hello,
first of all thank you for this cute sharing!
Can your ask to your friend that made this ROM cooking if he can ensure us that has been able to use multitouch (or dualtouch, it doesn't matter) on the X10 with Android 2.1 ?
Thanks! Hope you let us know as soon as you have more info!!
p.s.: hello abm77!
It's kinda sad, I find this pre-beta/beta ROM more exciting than the actual GM release. I want a stock update with none of the crap SE adds, all that social web malware. If I want any FB, Twitter or what have you stuff on my phone I'll install it myself.
And yes, I know it can be purged somewhat from a rooted phone but you're still stuck with some residual scraps and removing all the extra stuff is annoying and shouldn't have to be done.
I'd almost be willing to pay a symbolic fee to SE if they would provide two updates instead of one when 2.1 rolls out. One officially supported and one vanilla. The vanilla one wouldn't even have to be supported and could be posted with a gigantic warning saying: "WE WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS, IF IT BREAKS IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT!!". Anything to not have to deal with *scape, FB and all that gear.

No Arc Awesome Sound Quality Glitch on my unit. I tried it three times and everything is ok.
Lol it does work. Nice ;-)
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Fascinating. oO Thanks for sharing this!
Someone's going to have to tell me.. I've unlocked my bootloader so I can't use trackID... !!!
If I follow shtreber's instructions, the speaker sound changes significantly. I wouldn't call it perfect (speaker sound is one of the few things I hate about my Arc..), but it's less shrill.
Just what exactly does this glitch do? (Sorry, I don't have an arc of my own yet but should be in the possession of one in the coming month).
Works! How to keep it this way?
i wish i know how to keep it that way... sorry ;/
cool thanks for sharing
That's a nice one.
Thanks
