New X2 ROM release quick review: finally a worth, bug fixing update from SE

---

Yesterday I installed the latest official firmware ROM update for the Xperia X2 (from SEUS)

It is Software version R1BA023

For the first time, I am pleased with Sony Ericsson for the update
Here's a list of changes and what's new:

1.- "Fast GPS" app (sort of SE's version of "quick GPS")

2.- VideoCall support added to the dialer and context menus, along with a proper configuration app @ settings

3.- FM Radio has been incorporated into slideview

4.- Tilewave Panel has been updated:
now it has a handy battery status tile and the hour bug seems to be fixed

5.- SlideView has been enhanced:
many new buttons and features to sync and write emails, call list display, etc

6.- The WM 6.5 SYS|XIP has finally been updated
to the more stable CE OS 5.2.21891 (Build 21891.5.0.88)
This newer build solves many SYS related bugs: now it holds ringtones, returns to the start menu when closing an app, etc

The downturn: xtrakt and experiment 13 have both been removed
(but hey who cares, we have CABs for them)

PS: I am sorry for my late replies and scarce appearances here, I almost never connect to xda-devs any more (no X2 forum here)
I'm 100% X2 now, no more X1 dev for me

.

Tne News comes so late. I am waiting new Generic_CN ROM and X2 HardSPL.
Xperia X2 forum is necessary.

thx for sharing this information

already wondered about your "absence/inactivity", but that certainly explains it...
it's been requested (and not only by me) to create an X2 forum, but as of now no response from admin
but I'm sure (ok, I hope) it will be added so stay tuned and drop by at least once in a while
best

gtrab hello to when a new rom in Spanish thanks greetings

finally video call support for X1 WM6.5 native dialer

wo~ gtrab~ we were missing you~~~ @_@
and finally the video call~ cheers~~~ ^_^

sorry for my abscence guys,
as I stated, full X2 now, so nothing to do here anymore for me

I drop by from time to time to update / post relevant info regarding the X2
I know I am not off topic (posting X2 stuff on the X1 ROMs subforum) because I think this info is useful for cookers / porters

Too bad you're not present as frequent as you were, I like the time pionering the early 6.5 builds with you....

But...we all gotta move on sometime (I still got about 8 months left before I can trade my X1, hopefully by that time WP7 phones will be avialable).

Thanks for the info on X2....wished SE did some proper updates on X1 like they are now doing on X2 (maybe they've learned from their mistake).

g'
You should take a look in the general subforum. Lots of threads there about X2, mostly about huge problems with the ROM update. Wonder why you experience has been smoother?

Nice to see you back.

Hi Gtrab,

Good to see you back
