Do keep in mind that I have a Swedish version of X1 so I don't know what things are being called in your phone. Should have written backlight in the first place. |

No you cannot remove the VODAFONE panel or the Experia Panel, everything else you can play with.
Sofar I have found the SPD mobile shell the best panel.
I don't know if anybody else has found this but everytime I open a panel with a clock displayed is shows New York time (I am in UK) after about 2 seconds it refreshes to give UK time. Nothing major just a bit of a pain.
maybe tell phone not to update time via network then set regional settings to your location?
re: vodafone panel, I wonder if it can be set in registry? maybe a reg hack could get rid of it.

Sound quality findings:
- 3G on, WMA music via the WM Media Player, result average or lower then average
- 3G on, mP3 format via SE's media player, great sound reproduction
- 3G off, WMA or SE's own player, sound reproduction even better
A2DP not as good as Nokia E90
So music reproduction needs more work!

10 Panels? WTF?
How does that work...
Could you post a screen or something? Thanks.

About WMA Jah,
do you know any way to play your WMA files with SE player instead of that crappy win media player? |

@McKinley, no worries, I fully understand... and btw, you can buy/use CorePlayer if you don't like the standard WM player
btw, I'm getting to like the optical joystick. it works quite well although its use is probably limited given that you just need to touch the screen for quicker results.
any other thoughts on that as I've not seen much mentioned about this

I like the optical joystick but it's a tad too sensitive sometimes so I need to use the standard D-pad to go back or forward one or two steps. |

Has anybody tried to install Wayfinder from the CD?
It seems there is no English version on the CD.
I have been able to instal the Spanish version fine. There are several languages available too....just not English! |

The installation file didn't even start for me so I had to download it from wayfinder.com
about that, something must be very wrong with my Wayfinder because it's horrid to use, slow as the slowest snail.
The graphic stutters way too much

All X1 users have three free months so just go ahead and download.
I think this is new with Wayfinder 8 but now you can download the maps to your phone. |

It's because the first image is just a "thumbnail" without any dynamic content. It's just a BMP-image.
The ones used for Sony Ericsson's panels can be found in \\Program\\Panels\\SonyEricssonPanel
There are a total of four images. One small landscape, and one small portrait for the panel view (the view you get when pressing the Panel button), and two large (one landscape and one portrait) that are shown while the panel is loading.
Actually in the SonyEricssonPanel folder you have a total of eight BMP-images, because you have two different Sony Ericsson Panels.
You can probably change those bitmaps to anything you want as long as the dimensions of them are the same, but I don't know this for sure since I haven't tried it.

I haven't attempted to install wayfinder but can confirm that tomtom 7 and Garmin XT both work perfectly on the WVGA screen although the Garmin keeps giving me the "Warning - Use GPS safely" screen on each startup which it didn't do on the Diamond
@Rodin69, I agree with you on the clock thing. I'm having a little play to see what can be changed as the Sony Ericsson panel 1 says that 8 out of 10 blocks have been used.
I'm also keen to try the panel SDK and see what it offers too

Any chance of a picture of X1 running tomtom ? (and/or garmin) |
