This would be my first ever WM phone, so I really have no clue what Im doing. But I know I want to change the appearance of the phone, I have not a clue where to start. I was wondering if you guys would be so kind to help me from beginning to end. Or atleast give me a link to where I would be able to find such information. A list of recommendations would be much appreciated.. As well as any programs that you'd recommend to enhance XE1 ...the And ill be forever greatfull.. THHHHHANKS
Best way to learn this stuff is read read read. Go to the ROM section and read all the Sticky's, HardSPL your device first. Then you will be able to install/Flash custom ROM's. I use itje's v7.1, works great.

thanks, now would that be the same thing as installing Touch X ULTIMATE ver.6.1? 'cuz i think that looks pretty cool.. told you imma newb.
Yes, install HardSpl first on your X1. Then you are free to install any custom ROM.
Make sure you read the entire thread before installing any custom ROM. Most have small bugs. The thread's contents usually give the solutions to any problems.
Good Luck

This has been asked before, and more than once. For sure.
I'd suggest you to read THIS THREAD FIRST before anything
Rule 1: read and search
Rule 2: read and search
Rule 3: read and search
Regarding your question, my particular suggestion would be to start playing with your phone "stock" as it comes by default: get used to panels, Windows Mobile, etc...
Then, after a week or so (or when you get bored of all the included stuff), go to the Panels Library sticky post @ themes & apps subforum, Norti's apps collection sticky post @ main subforum, and the ROMs Library sticky post @ ROM development subforum
oh... I feel soooo unconfortable writing this, knowing for sure this has been written before...
MOOOOOODS ???

Really now, I know it annoys people when someone (a noob usually) demands a certain thing and that was already discussed on the forum. Sometimes it annoys me as well
BUT
PEOPLE, the search function on the forums IS CRAP. IT does NOT compare to a google search where you get only the interesting bits, depending on the rating of a link and so on. And most of the times, because you're a noob YOU DONT KNOW what the hell you're looking for.
Let's not get pissed off and immediately post a "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION a$$%£*e" (im certainly not talking about you gtrab, but I did see a lot of other people posting this as a reply to a noobs demands) and instead maybe have a noob section, with Q&As and sticky posts where they can ask everything there. Maybe even have someone create a "first day guide to using the Xperia". Or at least have some sticky posts instead of the ones that we have here and which I personally find crappy (except "X1 programs, panels, tweaks, fixes [COLLECTION]", "Xperia ROM and Guides", "[Resources] Xperia Wiki Page and useful Links" for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 forum )
Anyway, this is my two cents on the matter...

i have made a thread for newbies questions lately!
anyways just play around wid ur phone for some time..flash a new rom...and then see the mods for ur phone n tf3d in the themes section!
Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

Any mod will do. You may have either posted warez, links to it/them, instructions on how to get them. Or simply posted in the wrong section altogether.

Thank you for the quick reply. I understand the warez rules and all. But this question... in the ROM development section:
Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?

Maybe someone else asked something similar and you are getting penalized for not searching before posting. That is the only other thing that I can think of.
oh dear, if thats the reason, I'm simply to stupid for this forum I searched and poured more than 8 hours yesterday over posts, especially the ROM post, which all have well over 2000 replies. So I know that people are asking about handwriting but the question usually just goes under in the ROM threads....
Nevermind, will post it in the admin question thread where it probably belongs. Owe you a coffee though, let me fix my paypal issues first
Hi tesla33,
Which thread? I'll have a look to see if there was a "closure" reason added. It's possible it may have inadvertently been closed during Spam cleanup by a mod that had multiple browser session/tabs open.
Cheers,
Hi hilaireg,
thank you so much for looking into this. I'm feeling almost embarassed now for all the trouble but I was kinda intimidated:

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.
@denco7:
Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).
@tesla33:
I've re-opened the thread and moved it to the General section. I see no reason why the question can't be asked . The Admins are working on the Search function of late to see about improving it ... cause at the moment, I've found needles in haystacks far sooner than answers.

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Thank you, thank you and thank you
Again, I'm not complaining. I was actually considering where to put it and thought "hhmm, I'm asking about custom ROMs wit a certain capability, so better put it in the ROMs sections"
I understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a forum of this size and activity (I was once a Diablo2 Battlenet Mod ) and I appreciate the work you all put in there. I probably wouldnt have made this thread if it was my 400th post... after a while you get a feeling for where what goes and also for the search cloud and how to find stuff. But imagine if a newbie comes in here and wants to find out if his new Topaz is an ARM or a SH3 because he/she wants to download the Total Commander Beta... (ok, well maybe this is not the forum for people who dont know what hardware they are using)
I promise I'll behave in the future
Thank you again for sorting this out for me, very much appreciated
P.S.

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

The transcriber apps never seem to work as well as HTC own software. I did try some (calligrapher etc) but the results are less than I expected
Ok, I really shut up now

I am actually talking about the transcriber itself, not calligrapher or anything else.
Good morning,
slight misunderstanding here because: dont ask me why but HTC did not include a transcriber in the Topaz ROMs

I get frustrated everytime I click on one of these post where someone is crying for help. Here I think it's because their phone is crashed but in reality they were too lazy to take the time to READ and SEARCH. Waste of everyone one's time, cluters the server with meaningless threads that people who actually try to figure things out have to sort through and it takes up server space. Search and learn to read.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=681487&postcount=1
Dear Developers,
I had flashed the new Synergy Rom RC1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144447) which I admired and like it very much, since I like the Sence Ui. I have a small request from this rom developers, please I need support for RTL (Right To Left) languages support like Arabic and Hebrew languages, I successfully patched this method, (http://blog.devasque.com/?page_id=11) which successfully added the arabic fonts and now I can send sms in arabic and the RTL is correct there, what is missing is the RTL support for Gmail messages (Subjects+Message Detail) and the Browser, only opera browser can support RTL at this time, There is a source-code that the same blog above referred to and this code is used to fix the RTL issue in libwebcore.so this is a link to it (https://github.com/Y6b/android_external_webkit/commit/8637f8f6b8f78aef69a1a1919c9df54358513706). What my request is can any one of the developers look at the code in the link and the ability to include it in the source-code of synergy so it can support Arabic and Hebrew without problem. by the way cyanogen mode supports these languages perfectly, but I dont like cyanogen I like synergy and hope the developers can do something about it.
Thanks
There is no need to make a new thread for this. Just post your request in the thread for that rom.

This is my point. Read this thread from the beginning, your first reply was asking why this question wasn't posted on the ROM thread in the Development section of the forum. I was explaining the reason. If he has a legitimate question and can't ask it where it needs to be asked, why not put it in the Q&A area? You do understand what the "Q" part of Q&A stands for, right? The OP is new to the forum and has a question. I feel its valid that this is brought up here since he can't address the issue in any other location.

Thanks Everybody, I really appreciate your understanding
With the method that was used to accomplish the language removal (aamikam optimization) it would be difficult to go back in and replace all the language packs in all the apk. If you want the language package back I would ask aamikam for the unoptimized version. If he feels Luke it he will give it to you.

Any Luck with my question
I desperately need a solution for this guys
OMG RC2 released and still now no answer ?
Hi guys!
Just one question. Have you ever tried changing APNews widget rss for any other one?
I've have tried modifying an .ini file with Trix, changing the apnews rss for another one, but reboot bucle happens when trying to connect from the the widget.
Has anyone succeed in this or has the key to do it correctly.
Thanks in advance. Happy new year, by the way!
No one?
I'm sorry but you are not in the right section to post here that type of question.
Here it is discussions about the android project on wave I and II.
This thread have to be moved to Bada software discussions.

However, it was just a deal of improving my knowledge at the time of modifying firmwares. Just to know if I could change that fixed widget as almost no one in Spain is aware of that AP News Rss.
If you somehow know what to modify, please, let me know.
