Working Growing Panel

[altae]

Does anybody actually have a working Growing Panel for a Xperia X1 with WM 6.1 stock rom (R3AA)? So far I have only found the SE original one (not working) or the one that was released months ago (2010 bug). I would greatly appreciate to have the Growing Panel back. Its just beautyful!

The growing panel you have is not working because you need to install additional software that i have attached. If it still does not work maybe you need to change some registry settings. Good luck!

Those files are already installed on my phone. I have got the city night and day panel and they work without any problems. But the growing panel does not. Like I wrote before I have got the one released on xda which works but cant handle the year 2010 (the last two digits of the year keep changing forever) and the one from SE website which does not work at all (does not respond to inputs and finally crashes). Has anybody managed to get the growing panel working on a xperia x1 with stock rom R3AA and the original panel manager? It would be great if you could advise me how I can solve this problem.

Hey,

Well I have the growingpanel on the R3A panelmanager with the stock rom and it worked perfectly after I installed the above files... But I heard of some people that had a similar problem because PixelCity and Growingpanel don't work together... Why don't you try the X2 panelmanager?

As far as I know you can only get the growing panel form SE website, or if you get it from xda it will have the year bug... There are no other versions.

Altae, you have a german rom ? in which folder is the growing panel installed ? Perhaps you must edit the pfad in registry.

 

[Awassenaar]

Hmm.. I don't think it is a registry problem.

Because when you get the growing panel from the SE website the Cab will be in your own language because you have to choose your country before entering the website.... So it is automatically adjusted to your registry settings.

But if nothing else helps maybe it's worth looking into.

If I try the panel since 6 month ago - it`s instal in ProgramFiles Folder and not in Programme - But if he gives no answer, than we don`t know what matter.

 

[Awassenaar]

Yeah you're right!

Thanks to everybody for your advice. I use a german rom and Im well aware of the necessity to check and maybe adapt the reg keys so they point to the correct folder. If you dont do the panel wont even show up in the panel manager. I tried the X2 panel manager too but I consider it far to unstable. It caused the media xperience panel to break so I went back to the X1 panel manager. What I dont get is the fact that the growing panel from XDA reliably works no metter how many times I install and uninstall it (apart from the 2010 bug). But the one from SE wont. I mean in both cases I need the flash files and nonetheless there seems to be some kind of difference between the two.

 

[Awassenaar]

Hmm I still can't figure out what the problem could be

As I said, I have growing panel working on original panel manager just fine... And you allready tried registry settings etc...

Maybe you can use R3A panel manager (this is a newer version than the stock one) ... It is in the Panels Library thread and I think it is very stable.

I attached my Growing panel cab just in case, maybe that will work for you for some reason. I had it working on my stock Dutch Rom and now that I use an English Rom it still works.

Hope one of these things help..

Because they have been requested I share the cabs required to run the city night panel. Using these files the city night panel works flawlessly on my X1 with R3AA stock rom (Switzerland, German).

I've had some success with the growing panel. I installed the cab attached to this post (it contains both, ActiveX_Flash_Deployment and the X2 Flash Files) which I found here at XDA. Now the panel works at least partially but there remain two slight problems.

1. The plant on the left which should indicate the battery status doesn't work. It neither shows the correct status nor does it flash when the phone is being charged. What's more it does not bring up the power menu when tapped even though the plant moves as it should when tapped.

2. The plant on the right (the blue one) that should indicate the signal strengh does not work too. It always shows full signal strengh no matter how bad coverage might be.

Any advice how to get a fully working growing panel back? If only someone could fix the growing panel available at XDA. That one worked without any problems (apart from the date bug).
