What is the best upgrade I can do on my SE K800i to get the most out of it?

[xtreme]

I have a good knowledge of computers but I am new to this with upgrading and modifying phones. I have a Sony Ericsson K800i. What is the best upgrade I can do on my phone to get the most out of it? I am from Sweden. Can I still have the Swedish language on my phone?

there tones of things you can do to your phone,

get latest firmware
apply patches, improve the functionality of the phone
- add functions
- add features
- remove unwanted features
apply elfs, these are advanced patches
load flash menues, screensavers
change drivers of your phone
- change camera driver
- change accoustics (sounds)
- change dispaly drivers

******** LOTS MORE *******

keep an eye on the forums, really some cool stuff

I have seen applications on the forum (SETool 2 Lite, XS++ and FAR) but don’t know what they really do. I guess the first thing I must do is upgrade/change my firmware. Can I upgrade it to K810, K850 or even better? Which application is best for that?

Yes you can convert K800 -> K810 but the tool depend on CID of your phone, so for start just install USB flash drivers and connect phone with XS++ and XS will create log-that log post here without IMEI number and will direct you to wright direction.
Here you have tutorials: USB Flash Driver Installation - Guide - Top Sony Forums
XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering - Top Sony Forums

I found in the guide "1) Converting to CID52 (if required)" but can't find anything about if it's good or bad to upgrade, just that I Can't Revert Back To CID49 Or CID 51.

Can someone help me please? How do I upgrade to K810?

[Patryk122]

rolf maybe isn't xD

How much better can a phone become after upgrading? Seems to be a solid phone out of the box.

[addict26]

We can't improve it on hardware. Software can make the hardware perform better (camera drivers, display drivers, elfpack)

First of all,let XS++3.1 Darwin to upgrade your CID49 to CID52,because than you can do what ever you want and next thing you can update your firmware with this tutorial XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering - Top Sony Forums and another thing - whan you first time connect your phone with XS(in Xs folder you find log) post log here without IMEI number and don't try to update with SEUS,because you get CID53
