If I'm not mistaken, ori xperia will cost around 1800-1900, ap i'm not too sure, a month back it was around 1500++ range. Try checking out the handphones section in the garage sale.

@rkwan

I'm very happy on valkyrie 3.6.53 too, if the battery life is on par with itje's rom then it would be perfect, now mine will last around 1 1/2 day.

@xcen

When I was on jack's rom, I manually extracted the files that I wanted from his UC package.. =)

@sol_fw

well get the xperia and u won't regret..

@chong_kiatz

Valkyrie 3.6.53 is a ROM but not a battery saver application. We were talking abt the battery life of the phone when using that particular version of rom.

@chongkiatz

Sometimes I do charge overnight when I realized that my batt is almost dead just before I go to bed.

I think it's better if charging is done with a dedicated wall charger. PC USB doesn't has enough power.

Yesterday I encountered a very weird incident, just before I slept I finished charging my phone, and when I woke up it was 48%.. I was freaking shocked, 7 hours dropped 52%.. No idea what happened, as far as I'm concern there is no background programmes running.

I just realised that G alarm is a battery sucker. Whenever I set an alarm for the next morning, my battery life will be significantly weaker compared to weekends when I don't have an alarm on.

Any other alarm suggestions peeps?

@arvinddakshen

Use google, go to xda forums xperia rom development section. You'll find out all the roms there. Choose one that you like. I would recommend you to try valkyrie, touch it, Jack v3 for WM 6.1, V4 for WM 6.5. You won't go wrong with either one.

@rkwan

I'm downloading valkyrie 3.7 Leo now, but won't be flashing it. Will wait for more reviews in xda first. I'm a bit tired of reinstalling all my softwares after flashing. Perhaps you can try it and do a mini review? hehe =P

@rkwan

Yeah I read the same thing in xda too. Thanks for your review..

@techno_fanatics

Pls scroll back a few pages back. Baronic has ady explained. UC means user customization.

@xcen

Can't seem to find Touch IT Leo 5.6 on htcpedia anymore. Would like to give it a try, only touch it 6 is available for download. Have u tried it?

@chongkiatz

Usually when u flash a custom roms, quite a number of handy softwares are already coooked into the rom by the chef, so you'll only have to install those softwares that you need. I think the garmin you're using is pirated.

@xcen

I just used the default setting in windows and by pressing the same button I can rotate to landscape and then back to potrait.

Anybody tried Touch it 6.5 LEO? I feel like giving it a try haha..

@chongkiatz

What city 1 and city 2 ar u refering to?

@yyap2

You can try jack v4, energy rom or valkyrie. I've tried jack v4 and valkyrie. Both are good & stable enough for me.

@neo0915

WM 6.5 is not out yet officially and I don't think it'll be available for the xperia X1. So you won't be able to get WM6.5 thru SEUS.

@yyap2

This has been discussed a few pages back. In your garmin mobile XT, go to Tools, then settings, system and select the fist option - remote gps. If it display com3 com4, disable it and select gps itermediate driver. Then you'll get the signal bar.

@jase

You might have the wrong map in the database. Go to malsingmaps.com to download the latest malaysian map, I'm assuming that you're in malaysia right now.

@chongkiatz

The rom itself includes the whole operating system. Most roms available in xda are based on WM 6.5. When you flash, you get WM 6.5.

@yyap2

Yes, and u only need to hard spl once.

@arvinddakshen

I've been having this same prob ever since I started using valkyrie. Just cut the mp3 that you're using so that it only rings for a few seconds.

For those who want their xperia in WM 6.5 original, there is a clean rom available in xda. Only WM 6.5 + R3A, nothing more.

@arvinddakshen

As far as I'm concern there is no other way. That's way I'm using a very short mp3 tone. Makes my life much easier.

@zeroblaze

The latest original rom is R3A. Just download the Generic UK R3AA010 rom. There is no malaysian version of the firmware.

Welcome to the family. Enjoy your new toy!

@amchikarai

So which custom rom did u choose? Usually it takes around 15 mins inclusive of hard reset for me.

Anybody using gadget shieldz here? I'm interested in getting one and try, using the pouch is a little bulky for me as I'm always on the move.

Btw, rota v2 rom is coming out soon, maybe I'll give it a try. I've been on FS 3.6.53 for quite a while, ever since I uninstalled G alarm the battery life improved significantly. Now a single charge can last me 2 days.

@chongkiatz

When u fill in your details for messenger there is a option sync all my contacts, untick it. Very simple.

@youliang

That's what I read. Installation looks a bit tricky to me.

@windchaser

It works for me that way when I untick the contacts. At least there is no msn contact in my phone book.

@rkwan

I"m overseas right now. And I don't think I wanna risk putting up the shield myself, might just screw the whole process up.

@rkwan

Where did you downloaded it? How abt GPS?

Rota's new v2 is done, he'll be uploading it shortly. Might give it a try, captions look really fancy =)

@neo0915

I've not flashed to rota's rom yet. Decided not to because I know his rom are always full of bugs when first launched. Most probably will be upgading to valkyrie 3.8.20 LEO.. Just wanna give it a try.

@rkwan

Any feedback after using valkyrie new rom? I won't be flashing yet because even valkyrie Leo's rom are not stable. So I'll wait for your review first. =)
