QuBic — Fri, 21 May 2010 20:00:08 +0000

Sorry to disappoint you folks but, it seems that the rooted Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 we’d seen was actually a fake. It claimed that SETool was used to gain access to the root, which most consumers don’t have access to. Some guys on the SETool forums however do and have only gotten error messages when they tried the procedure. Following posts in the topic go on to say it’s near impossible to do, thanks to the security rules put in place at root level on the Xperia X10.

ROM updated for Xperia

QuBic — Sun, 17 May 2009 19:29:19 +0000

Another ROM update has been released for Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1. Unfortunately it doesn’t bring with it any goodies from the leaked R3A ROM. What has been noticed with the new ROM is that the boot time of the X1 is better but there doesn’t seem to be much else. Over at Xperiancer, the leaked custom ROM which includes Xtrakt is favoured over the official ROM from Sony Ericsson. To update your Xperia, download the ROM from here.

Once again, over at XDA-Developers, they’ve come up with something great for the Xperia X1. This time it’s a custom ROM by itje which includes many applications and fun stuff. In order to use the custom ROM you have to flash the ROM firmware on your Xperia, but fortunately, itje has released the CAB files to a few of the apps that don’t require any flashing of your X1. One of the apps is a 3D game called Xtrakt which works perfectly well on the X1 and is highly praised in comments.

In the game you control the main character on a futuristic motorbike and destroy monsters. The game is said to be very fun and better than a lot of other games on Windows Mobile. The character is controlled with the stylus. You can download the CAB here and view the game in action below.
