New to Windows mobile. Need help!!

[sandy2810]

Hello everyone,

Xperia is my first Windows mobile and therefore kinda novice to some terms used in this area. My colleague helped me in installing new ROM HTC touch it. It now looks like an HTC phone with cool graphics.
I know mine is tf3d but how can i verify. Also I keep listening to terms like manila, jailbreak, brick etc can someone explain me what these terms relate to. Need little overview of all these terms used.
I tried to install new themes and therefore installed tf3d config tool but it doesnt work on my X1 gives me an error.Is there any other way of installing these themes. Mine is the default black theme.

Hey sandy,
you can check your version under the Settings tab in your TouchFlo at the point "Info".
Also, if you can switch your home clock back and forth i can assure you its TF3D .

By Manila is meant the same as with TF3D(TouchFlo 3D). Jailbreak is usually used to be a name for an iPhone hack, but in our case you can categorize it as something connected with HardSPL. It's a tool that patches your phones rom manager and allows you to flash it with custom roms(like the one you got from your friend - means that your phone is already equipped with it).

I'm not sure about compatibility with the config tool since i've never used it, but i can tell you that the easiest way of applying themes is the usage of cabs.
You can find different theme-cabs in this section (themes and applications).

If you have any other questions I'd suggest you just to ask in here.

Thanks mate for clarifying, do you have a simple procedure on how to flash rom and install new custom roms. As for theme cab file is it possible for you to provide me with one theme cab file i just wanna test it out before downloading others. I assume i can revert back to my original black theme incase i dont like the new one.

The link you provided is about hardspl whats the next thing to do after hardspl? How to install custom roms available in this forums? Is there a procedure for doing this.

Actually there's always an .exe file with the rom package.
you simply start the .exe and follow the steps described.

The only thing to care about is a stable activesync/dev centre connection and a battery life of above 50%
