If you've had a sony ericsson you might remember the app MyPhoneExplorer.
It had some pretty neat features such as when the phone was connected (bluetooth) and there was an incoming call it would display callerID and even give you the options of accept/reject. It also showed incoming sms and allowed you to reply and send sms from the pc (thru the phone ofc).
Part of that functionallity can already be used by using the laptop/pc as the phones headset. Tho not exactly the same and besides i don't even have a mic on my laptop....
Anyways the sms-feature would be a real star since it enables you to be beyond lazy and use the laptop when the mobile device is too far away. Besides it's much more comfy writing on a pc-keyb than the tytns...
Are there any applications mimicing or enhancing those functions?
Cheers!
i do miss the coolness of the apps available for the ericsson. it seems that the WM5 platform is SO lamely developed in comparison. i mean we have thse crazy powerful devices but we're utilizing like 5% of what we could be using... wish there were more developers.
anything from those apps that allow you to do everything from the pc (like myphoneexplorer), webcam functionality with your pc are two that ar eon top of my head, but i've thought of quite a few other things that could be implemented only through software, as the hardware is already present!
Windows Platform is better
Even I have migrated from the Sony Ericsson Platform.(SE P910i) It is true that visual appeal of Symbian is superior and coolness of some apps is great. But windows platform is altogether more powerful and it's evolving at more faster . It is more developmental friendly and I hope you will have to understand that windows platform is more likely PDA oriented than Phone as opposed to Sony Ericsson. Be optimistic.
IMHO, the "panels" interface is a good concept with potential.
Some developers have been "panels" to "launch apps" or execute "UI masks" (TF3D, SPB, etc) but not further
I thought of a new approach to the "panels" concept:
Since this is a "convergence device", PANELS should work like a bridge between each one, I mean:
1- SE panel: device feels like a Sony Ericsson phone
2- CYBERSHOT panel: device shifts to a SONY Cybershot digicam
3- NAV_U panel: device is now a SONY GPS like having a Garmin GPS
4- PSP panel: device becomes a SONY PSP gaming machine !!
5- VAIO panel: device turns (as close as possible of course) to a VAIO minilaptop
6- MYLO panel: a Sony internet device
7- WALKMAN panel: device becomes a full SONY media player, entertainment centre with radio, portable DVD player etc.
Sony is particularly good at this last one, but IMHO the current "media panel" is still shy, not on par with other Sony interfaces (even SE phones)
What do you think ??
Should I write Sony an email ??
It aint gonna happen, even if you write them an email.
I think what you have said is exactly how panels are *supposed* to be.. the X1 is how it actually is right now.

exactly. in my experience they will fix a view bugs in the next softwareupdate and if we are really lucky they deliver the new windows-mobile os with implemented adobe flash player in a few weeks/months.
as for the panels: they did not even include an "auto snapshot" function to keep the panel previews updated (and this should be easy). in my opinion they wanted third party developers to develop "cool" panels but they screwed up because they cant organize a working developer-community or (more important) provide good documentation.
in theory a simple webdesigner (like me) should be able to easy make a "html"-panel. in reality the html-panels are way to slow and you can spend hours just looking for the required information (like pseudohandlers). also they want you to use visual studio (even if you need it just to make a .cab) just because they cant deliver tools to work in an webdesign-environment.
the whole panel thing will die like other unsuccessful marketing gags.
have fun,

This is a good idea, I also like Sony Software, it has a quality feel about it. The stuff they made for the X1 was probably there first attempt at WM software.
The software idea you mentioned a " Sony Suite " is probably an idea they are working on for the X2, lets hope its still windows based, and hopefully though they will release individual programs for the X1, to wet our appetities, along the way

The idea is good, but very personal. Ie this is what you need. I need more.
For example panel Contacts are visible when the photo-switch contact and a finger.
With the smooth effect. http://www.uiq.com/product/showroom/ Personal FaceBook
Do not contact the button, as implemented in SpbMS
or
i like the ideas,
yes the X1 should ooooozzze sony exellence and the pannels should represent other sony product interfaces i mean why wasnt there a cybershot camera pannel? surely it would take just as long to load the pannel as it does to press the camera button and wait for it to load.
we all would like sony to take on board our ideas but we are insignificant to them we just give them the money.
I think is a short wait. There will be those who will create a panel for the X1

Oh I really hope so...
Right now everybody seem trying to port TouchFlo 3D to the Xperia, does this tell you something Sony developers ???
And I agree with mark when he states that Sony products have (usually) a feel of luxury and coolness, a blend of high-tech and art (style).
I really hope they go ahead developing this Xperia concept a step further

as long as we can only use 1 panel at a time, anything other than panels that used to execute "UI masks" are useless IMO.

Good point, here's the advantage of a "convergence device" :
Besides which panel you're using, you should allways be able to reach the "start" icon up there to launch other apps and multitask !! Have you seen te opera semitrasnparent link to show menus and bars ?? "Start" and the whole bar should work like that one too !!
Hello of friends. Is it possible NAND version received for the Hd2 too with psfreedom support? I thank you already for your assistance
Check out the psfreedom thread in the SD section shows you how to put a android version on the sd so you can pick it from bootloader and load psfreedom.
Yeh I know that the way you described still works, but it isn't practical. Why don't we get a NAND-build with PSFreedom already in it? That would be perfect..
Before NAND-builds came out, we were switching de builds allday! A normal android, a downgrade android and a jailbreak android, I think this can better.. please
No need for this anymore (well soon anyway), The PS3 Master Signing key has ben decrypted so we can now sign our own homebrew which means no need for JB on any PS3 console anymore
This means that people can create homebrew, sign it and it is as if SONY signed it themselves to boot, and the best part is that there is 100% no way sony can do anything about it as its the master key and its used by all consoles, there is no wy they can revoke it or do anything else

exactly, this is probally the greatest discovery in console hacking history!
psp also has the same keys found to sign apps
im buying a ps3 and a psp next friday
sony will love the boost in console sales eh haha
Sorry to dig up this old thread, but i have a similar question.
I have an HD2 running a NAND ROM, how am i supposed to run the software to allow backup games to be run from the HDD. I am completely knew to doing this with ps3, any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys,
I bought before 2 weeks a No.1 D5+ via Gearbest without any problems. Watch is working and really nice.
My problem is, that I want more a smartphone assistent instead of a stand alone watch (which the D5+ is disigned for).
I'm using the watch without SIM card. I thought that the D5+ will fulfill the requirements for companion or stand alone watch, but it is more a stand alone watch.
Do someone know that there are any custom roms for the D5+ (MTK6580) out there which are providing all the features, also of companion/bluetooth watches?
My main searched features are:
- Text notifications display
- Call notification + accept or decline incoming call
- BT call with watch via smartphone
- Music control via watch of smarphone music player app (i have a sony xperia Z5 compact)
- of course, flexible watch faces
... all other features are very welcome
If not, are there any other companion apps for smartphone usable which are working with the watch helper (on the watch) compatible? Or do somebody know, how I can disable the bluetooth connection alert from the watch helper app? I know that there is a Xposed module usable, but on my z5c (Android 7) there is no Xposed provided yet.
Thank's for your hints, advices and information.
Greetz,
Marc

( hope this helps)
Thanks for the link old_fart.
I red a little bin it this, but there are no Custom roms which I was searching for. But some interesting things. I will stay on watching this posts.
If someone knows complete new Custom rons for these smartwatches I would appreciate the information.
