P1i to W960i conversion |

Don't quite understand why Sony doesn't simply make the Walkman software available for the P1i. I guess I am one of the few users that falls within the business and casual use demographic, who would have opted for the W960 if it had the keyboard and some of the other functions that the P1i has over the Walkman phone.
The media player shipping with the P1i is a joke quite frankly and while it does its job, I am seriously envious and upset that the music player integration on the P1i is so lacking after playing around with the W960.
I guess I'll be one of the first guinea pigs as soon as keyboard support is available with this conversion.

Why? What's the difference with the W960, except the flash visualizations?
The only problem I have is that I can't find how to play all the songs belonging to a file, without doing a playlist, which is boring because you can't select all the file in one click. Will it be possible in the W960? |

I hope this works out, one of the main reasons I never bought the p1i was the badly designed music player, especially the controls.
Having walkman 3 should remove the need to use the crap file browser as well and will have support for podcasts.
The only problem is that w960 has 3 special touch keys and volume control for its media player, the P1i doesnt. So still the music controls wont have improved, just visual improvements.
EDIT
Just seen the youtube, 1,2 and 3 keys control the music player fine.

Do you happened to know with the w960 fw does P1 still have the green tint 
I know I look like obsessed with the green tint problem. But it really sucks =)

It was possible to convert the m600i qwerty keypad to use with the w950i, as well as the memory card slot. Give it time im sure it will be done. Heres video:

Why not just get a replacement music player (like LCG Jukebox) for the P1 instead of going through all this trouble and risk for the Walkman player? |

Well, I was talking with Martin Vagner today, he said that he is out of time now, but next week he will be working hard on qwerty & M2 support.

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

It's possible right now using XS++ right? It's available in the menu for flashing!
If you dont care 'bout memory card or qwerty keyboard, that is.

nah mate, u cant do the conversion using xs++, even if u change the cda to w960's one, seus doesnt have the w960's fw yet, and it still recignises the fone as p1, because xs++ cant change the fone id from p1, and also, xs++ cant flash smartphones yet, the guys who did it are using their own software, and they probably extracted the w960's formware from a prototype |

Had a play with this today.
It would be fine - however the "true" (m2 and qwerty working) P5w conversion requires:
core os module : P1i
rofs1: w960
rofs1 ext: w960
rofs 2: w960
All must be the same verison...else the phone will enter a reboot 'loop' at startup. So far I cannot find the same verisons...but will sniff SEUS to see more
Anyway, thats just my experiments...
