Hi, with some spare time over today I used my almost non-existing programming skills to make a small, basic registry tweaking application for the Sony Ericsson X1.
It can be downloaded from this site:
www.cliffords.nu
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Features at the moment:
Fix for CE Star-users:
http://www.freewebs.com/henkenelson/CEStarFix.reg
Version 2.0 - New!
+ The ability to choose default panel to load after restart (this is in beta-testing at the moment - contact me for feedback regarding this)
(It will go to the normal today screen first - then switch automatically)
+ The ability to prevent the screen from lighting up after an incoming message is recieved
+ Improved error management - If you recieve an error upon startup, contact me with the specific error message. and I'll try to guide you through a fix!
Version 1.9
+ Some LED illumination tweaks (the ability to change LED patterns for some of the most common notifications) - See screenshot below.
Version 1.6
+ "Improved" font-management (Hey, it's only a bug if you call it a bug )
Version 1.5
+ The ability to change the default system browser
+ Built-in application for changing the sort order of contacts from "Lastname, Firstname" to "Firstname Lastname"
+ Built-in application for changing the phones overall font (except startmenu, programs/settings-menu and some applications)
+ New and improved(?!) GUI
Version 1.1
- Added Performance Tweaks-menu (Glyphe-cache and FileSystem cache)
-Added possibility to change font size of Pop-up menus to make phone more one hand-friendly. See screenshots.
Version 1.0
- Enable/Disable conversation-style SMS/MMS
- Enable/Disable Security warning @ installations
- Enable/Disable screen turning off during call
- Show/Don’t show SIM-contacts in Contact list
- Enable/Disable "Message sent" notification
Known issues: The font management isn't tested fully, use at your own risk! Seems to work for me though.. Please mail me if you find anything problematic, my E-mail is stated here below!
Questions, feedback and suggestions can be PM:d to me, or E-mailed to me at [email protected]
Well Thank You
I especially like the:
Enable/Disable screen turning off during call

The different cache settings like the glyph cache and so on
wow nice app! thanks a lot!!
Really nice app!
I just thought of a nice thing to add to this app.
How about an option to load a specific panel on startup? number 1-9
I only use spb mobile shell panel now and it would be cool if it actually started automatically on reboot.

Nopes!
Hopefully it's just a matter of throwing a specific cmd-line parameter to the PanelManager.exe (a link to this app is in the phones autostart-folder)..Right now the link has the parameter /Boot. I'm trying to figure something out, maybe it's possible, maybe it's not!

Is an uninstall of a previous version required?
Not required, but it's recommended if you don't want duplicate posts in the uninstall programs menu
Have a look at the Diamond Tweak prog. I installed this to have a play with, and there's a setting to change the volume level. It works!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540
music through the headphones is now painfully loud
volume level it`s only a registry key. its the same on all devices.

but thx to the author for this nice tool, spezially for xperia.

Excellent tool, thanks!
Appreciate your efforts and look forward to any possible future versions.
Keep up the good work!
This will help me keep my girlfriend happy

think u using your own menu enhancement think better you build it back to windows cause your menu scrolling not as sensitive as HTC by the way most of our Diam user is using custom ROM which come with new HTC menu enhancement so no need for you to waste time on this. Hope you can release option package soon. By the way I'm having Garmin so can you build it I can navi or view map direct from your application. Anyways thnks keep up...
Hi loffactory,
nice app, thanks for sharing.
I just installed it and have a few questions:
- how do I add a favorite?
- do you know a way to replace the original contact tab in tf3d with your app, or a way to create a new tab for tf3d using your app?
Thanks for your answer!
I tryed the app and it realy very Finger friendly
thanks for sharing.
but all my contact list written in hebrew.
unfortunately the keyboard inside app, is English only....
is a possibility to change the language to Hebrew? or to use the device's keyboard?
any help master?
thanks, Bigded
Sorry for my bad English

NO, you can't make a tab in tf3d. but you can do 2 possibility:
1. you can change the the softkey in homepage (left or write) to "loffactory" with "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3".
2. the another way is to change the left key in the original contact tab (as you prifer ) to "loffactory" by using "ssmaho" app.
you can find bouth of them hear in xda forum.
Good luck! and I'm sorry for my bad English.
I hope you understend my instruction

Hi BigDedx3,
The keyboard is not supported yet.
To Change Language:
1 - Translate "English.ecl" file.
2 - Change file name to "Hebrew.ecl" and copy to "\Program Files\Easy Contact\Language" folder.
3 - Use Reg Editor to change language settings: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LoFFactory\Easy Contact\Settings\".
Best regards.

Hi MysticGenius,
The contacts are shown according to the property "FileAs"
Change this property in the contacts you want to change.

hi,
i know this but that would mean editing 406 contacts manually.
can this perform a mass change for all contacts?

Hi.
Will this work on wm6.5? Thank you.
Great app, works like a charm for alpha status
With which parameter must Easy Contacts to be started to display immediately the call log?

Hey knowers.
I'm a total n00b into rooting and changing up stuff on android... my wildfire is my first smart phone so - with the risk of asking foolish questions I'd need to know a few things.
First: I used Android Market to download K9 Mail - and Handcent SMS. - Now I'd like to know if I can somehow make these two my two Primary Programs for Email / SMS - and even remove the original crap somehow? As right now I get an SMS twice - both to Handcent and regular SMS-reader... - and the same w emails - In that dept - I'd veeery much like K9 mail to be my inbox widget too - instead of the original Inbox widget (if that's what it's actually called, that is, what I mean is the fullscreen mailbox you find by changing screens to the left, if that makes sense to anyone..)
I figure these thing might require rooting... but can anyone tell me howto - with or without root. Also would it work with a softroot only?
Please help a n00b.
Thanks
/Pete

I had the same problem, well I wouldn't recommand you to delete the originals, but you can go in their options and desactivate notifications (as handcent & k9 does this by themselves)
That might work for 2 out of 3 issues - where can I find those settings as to turn off those notifications...
But the biggest problem - The email widget? Any clue?
Thx

then hold-tap on a blank spot of your wallpaper to add new widget (K9 might offer some widgets, or they might be a mail-widget compatible with)
The settings can be found in each applications : press "menu" when you're in an application => settings/parameters or something, it can even be in a "Plus" button (like "menu => plus button => settings button)
For further modifications you can read the manual / look in every menus, android is a really great OS
But this is no "regular" widget...
I mean the fullpage email thing that comes up if you skip a screen to the left from home screen...THAT - I'd like to show K9 instead of regular... any ideas?

Sms stock app : push "menu" => click on "parameters" => scroll down to "received msg" : notification blehbleh : check / uncheck
Should be the same for mail
For your widget :
MailWidget : Free & K-9 compatible, not using a full homescreen
http://www.appbrain.com/app/ca.sopht.android.mailwidget
Email popup: not quite what you look for, but it's a good addition to MailWidget:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.blntsoft.emailpopup
You could use K-9 for pure messenger too, with pure messenger widget :
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-koxx-pure_messenger-zmmq.aspx
It cost 1.49€ but seems to be the best (looking & working) solution
Any chance you could send me the apk for Email Popup... my syncing w AppBrain claims it can't be found...seems worth trying out

Install the "fast web installer" from app brain, launch it (with the wifi on) then go to appbrain (refresh the page if already on it), clic "install" => it should popup a menu which ask you to confirm, your phone will now automaticly download it and install it
(the syncing method with "AppBrain market" uses the on-phone market, so there's some missing apps for us, wildfire users )
Here's what should happen in video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w22MJMA_bok
0.4
it's a widget : add it to your deskop
tap on the clock the open the control menu
Resize this widget to something like 4*1
What's up ?
- VM heapsize tuning for better performances in big applications
- Wifi network SSID shows on the widget
- Change LCD density ( select new one and folio reboot with the new one, the trick is not permanent )
Like ever if you like click Thanks
I do this on top of my job so there's few chances i respond to personnal mp.
I'm sorry for the inconveniences but i'll try to read yours comments.

Great job!
Thank you!
One question. How do I resize the widget?

would a value of 255 (ff) not do it? at least make then incredible unresonsive or?
i will check the kernel registers if we got some other bit's to modify so we can disable them..
btw,
looks like Malata actually took Honeycomb 3.0 solutions into account here buttonwise.

maybe I need to reboot ?

nobody has found a way to disable the Folio 100 sensitive buttons ?
Would it be possible to make the battery in the widget, give some animation?

here is your fix , you asked for:
here is the command to disable light buttons completely (will enable after a poweroff)
DISABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8800 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
ENABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8801 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
Requested by user, not my idea here. but probably very handy with AndroidOS 3.0 when its out. (good for TntMod as they got buttons on screen)
thank you Dexter
Sol Ido, is it possible to add this trick in your next release ?
