Thanks a bunch Bsp89ht!! :D

Will surely test it as soon as you upload it. This was desperately needed for the Greek community now that SE decided to botch (at least rumored) the Greek locale. Funnily enough, I was just mentioning the lack of a Greek rom for X1 (with the news of official X1 release in major Greek Mobile operators) at myphone.gr, and your work just appeared in time to edit my post. :p

From the screenshots I can see that you didn't include a keypad (in the dialer) with greek letters, although I've come across it (at least in black). Maybe you could include that too.

[athanaso77]

Great job!!! Well done! ;)

[vagelis]

Awesome!
Ευχαριστούμε Πολύ - Thank you Much
Έλληνας από Λος Άντζελες - Greek in LA

Will test with X1a

[XavierGr]

I just flashed. The rom is completely translated and its quality is very good. Some nice programs come with it and new icons on the taskbar.

One major drawback that I found though is that switching from portrait to landscape is extremely slow (while the opposite is blazing fast). Do you have something in mind? It seems that you use something to prevent landscape in Touchflo3D but in the process today's screen switching is dreadfully slow.
Also the symbol pad is missing, it is quite useful my opinion.

Overall it is quite good and fast, keep up the good work.

does this rom support voice dialing using a bluetooth headset? because the x1 original rom did not support voice dialing.

It has an app for it but I haven't managed to make it work with the bluetooth button.

if you get it to work can you please post an answer? i miss this option from my p1 usually i would just press the button on my headset and say the name and my p1 would dial the number. while the phone would always be in my pocket. this would be a must for me to flash my x1 with the greek rom, other than that i'm pretty much satisfied with the english rom. thanks very much in advance

I've been trying to achieve this with 3 different roms with no success so far. I know for sure that Voice Commander works with the bluetooth button (and microphone) but this particular program is worthless for non supported languages. I haven't managed to execute another application except Voice Commander via bluetooth button.

[xmoo]

Hmz looks good, gonna flash!

[tsakalli]

any english language version

[caldo]

Voice command and calling, working with bluettoth button, it would be very usefull...
It's a shame that is missing from the original xperia rom!

[XavierGr]

Does anyone else get a 5 second delay from portrait to landscape (landscape to portrait is very fast)? It is very annoying and the only thing from keeping me off this otherwise great rom.

It is weird though, there is clearly a 5 second delay in screen rotation because in those 5 seconds I can operate the unit normally.

[XavierGr]

Does BT button w/ voice command really works in this rom?

Yes it works in this particular rom as well as with some others, when I press the bluetooth button a microphone icon appears on the taskbar and you can input voice commands.

My problem is that I don't like Voice Commander because it doesn't support Greek contacts. I need to use an external app with the bluetooth button ASAP but can't find anything. If Voice Commander can be launched via bluetooth button why this isn't possible for any application?

Try this registry to change the app:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"Path"="\\Windows\\VoiceCommander.exe"

looks like very good rom and most beautiful thems

When the device is connected and synchronized by Activesync 4.5 (Win XP), if I go to panels, and do 2-3 actions in the panel, then the panel freezes and I can do nothing. The device turns off only if I take out the battery.

Also, my calendar is not synchronized!
All the others (contacts, notes, emails) are ok, but nothing in the calendar! :confused:

[vagelis]

I think I have discovered an issue with the SMS client; when I click on a thread to reply, I get a blank window and nothing else...any id3as?
I have not been able to connect with ie6 while on att's EDGE/HSPA, though it works on WiFi and with Opera. I get a the coonection has been dropped error; I have removed/checked the proxy settings and they are not there.
The orientation lag is something of minor annoyance but overall a solid effort; thanks again.

[caldo]

TF3D is not working properly in lanscape mode...

[vagelis]

TF3D is not working properly in lanscape mode...

TF3D does not work in Landscape; being ported from TouchHD means that there is no landscape support. There are workarounds posted elsewhere but they make the device even slower.

Let's see about freezing panels...

[bsp98ht]

It is weird though, there is clearly a 5 second delay in screen rotation because in those 5 seconds I can operate the unit normally.

Yes i looking about it.......

[caldo]

I think something is happening in general with the orientation (portrait-lanscape).
When in an application (panels, total commander, album) I change to landscape, the screen freezes completelly and is stucking there.
I have to call my phone, in order to wake up, in order to manage to do soft reset. Otherwise, I can do nothing. Only to take out the battery...
I would like very much a solution to this issue, because the rom is very nice! :)

P.S. Do we have to do 2-3 hard resets after flashing the rom? or it doesn't matter? (somewhere I have heard this..)

Yes i looking to find a solution for this something freeze that...
At my first cook didn't have this problem i searching to find what i change.
You have to do at least 1 hard reset after flashing the rom.

[caldo]

Thank you bsp98ht !
Hope you find it.
Waiting for your conclusions... :)

[caldo]

Also, posting (here now for example) I can not use the hard keyboard...
When I tap to make writing active, it opens the soft keyboard. If I close it, writing is inactive for both keyboards. If I write whith the hard while the soft is active, it writes only the first letter and becomes inactive again. There is no way writing with the hard, so it becomes useless...

Also, to change Greek to English layout in the hard keyboard, you have to press at least 5 times the au, waiting a while in every press...
Also, scrolling up and down when browsing with the optical center button, is not possible... (the box in settings, is checked)

[craco20]

Is not version possible with language in Spanish???

Well I fixed orientation delay problem.

ie6 was unable to connect with att usa on EDGE/HSPA, even though there was no proxy selected
the connection would fail with an 'the connection was disconnected' message
opera works, but there is a real input problem, where the soft panel comes up and drops down, where at the same time the hw keyboard takes only a character input and then gets ignored. The only way to make it work is to disable full screen mode.

with threaded view enabled, sms compose would just go to a blank screen with a blinking cursor, not showing the to: fields, or the message history.

[MCSHOP]

Just flashed my x1's ROM to this one. I have to say it's an amazing work you've done there BSP98HT. Only noticed a slight delay when changing from portrait to landscape but not the other way around. You've added some great stuff in there also. I'll be looking forward to your next project, either that's an update of this one or a brand new project. Keep up the great work.
Thanks a million.

Υ.Γ. Και για να μή ξεχνάμε και τη γλώσσα μας, ΦΟΒΕΡΗ ΔΟΥΛΕΙΑ. ΓΑΜΑΤΗ!!!!!

1) I beleive you have already read posts #31 and #35. There is a bug with the keyboards and input (typing) while browsing with opera.
2) The freezing SE panels bug, still remaining (after making 2-3 actions in each panel).
I have to flash an other rom for hundle my device properly, and waiting for your new release!
Thank you :)

I tried w/ my DS-205 and it can't seems to bring up the voicedial or Voice Commander that I installed.

[caldo]

bsp98ht,
Perhaps you can do something about the memory usage in this rom...
(If you find it ok, is enough for me)
The mem usage begins from 42-43%.
In an other rom I tried (Touch-It Xperience v3.0) it begins from 32%.
(I hope you don't mind writing for an other rom - I' m referring only for comparison)
Thank you again, and waiting for new release!

[XavierGr]

Are you really sure? I tried w/ my DS-205 and it can't seems to bring up the voicedial or Voice Commander that I installed.

Are you sure? Maybe I got confused with another rom, what can I say. But there was a definitely a rom that made this possible. The other rom I used at that time was Itje's 3.0.

I will test cmEx's rom (WWE) too and will tell you what happened.
Sorry if I told you the wrong rom, but I think it worked that time.

[vatk]

Hands up for your great job my friend. Congratulations for your efforts (could you please change the icons of the folders in Programs? They seem a bit stretched)!

[XavierGr]

cmEx's WWE latest rom works with voice commander, I just tested it. Maybe I wasn't wrong in the first place, it should work on this rom too.

[bsp98ht]

Soon I upload a new version with fixes :)

Waiting! :)

Hello... Do I have to do the hard_spl thing? I tried to flash this following the instructions in the readme file but I always get an error (262 if I remember correctly) at 0%...

[caldo]

Of course, you have to run Hard SPL in order to unlock your device.
I beleive you must wait for the new version (hoping it will be one!)
