XPERIA X1 Panels on Touch HD

Windows Mobile guru Paul from MoDaCo has just put up a cab installation to get the XPERIA X1 Panels on the Touch HD. ( be aware this will most like not work on any resolution other than WVGA ).

What’s works
- It works almost completely
- Performance of the actual panels is great

What’s not working ( not yet @least)
- No ‘Panels’ button the HD but you do get a Panels icon on the start menu
- It takes a few seconds for the panel select app to open
- The FM Radio and Media Xperience panels don’t work properly on the HD
- The TouchFlo 3D plugin has to be disabled or pressing the home key returns you to TF3D

What’s coming up in future versions
- Speed boost!
- Option to map to hardware button
- Requests? ( let Paul know about it )

Install Instructions
- Disable TF3D from Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items
- Install main CAB from below
- REBOOT
- Run Panels from the start menu to choose panel
- Optionally install additional panels: get em here

Brandon Miniman from pocketnow.com has posted 5 things about the Touch HD that you might not have noticed…

1. It has a new version of Opera Mobile

Its got Flash support, a Zoom slider along the bottom instead of just double tap to zoom and a search bar along the bottom to top it all of a neat 3D tab to switch between open websites

2. The camera doesn’t have a flash

No more flashlight application for my HTC

3. In order to take a picture with the camera, you must tap on the screen - there is no hardware button to use

Nothing in the world should be perfect , so lets take the Camera button off

4. It includes a program called “In Call Recording” which presumably lets you record phone conversations :)

If this is true , I wont hold the camera thingi against you HTC

5. The four buttons along the bottom provide tactile feedback through a vibration, plus audible feedback through a “click” sound

I am sure someone will find a way to disable this to save a lill bit of battery life

UPDATE:
6. The camera has selective autofocus! So you can tap you finger on a certain part of the screen, and the camera will focus on that area.

7. The screen sensitivity seems to be greater compared to that of the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro

By now every one would have know about the latest beast from HTC.. the ” Touch HD “.
