As there's no separate device page for our mini X10's, lets discuss it here instead.
Obviously X10i and E10i hardware is totally different and thus we can't use roms or anything from the "bigger" phone.
For now the Android 1.6 is almost usable on it, but I frankly hate the sony customizations and totally unusable text-entry and phone-dialer apps ..
A clean 1.6/2.1 ROM with HTC Sense would make me much happier.
But for now at least I'd like to solve the fonts problem, i.e. after getting phone rooted, installing custom fonts should be easy.
Anyone done that so far?
Please share your thoughts.

The method is probably similar , but we do need specific E10i rom files, so its not carbon-copy.

There is two ways of buying a phone
1. By the looks
2. By the insides
If you want both, the easiest is to take the looks and buy what you like to look at, and then make the insides as you want afterwards.
When android gives us the posiblity (after root access to bootloader level) to make an X10 look like an HTC on the inside, why would anyone ever buy an HTC phone?

You can hard-reset the E10i (mini) by pressing power button while holding the "home" button (middle one)
So thats not a problem.

It's quite easy to replace the keyboard and phone dialer on the E10i without rooting the phone. I would love to root my E10i as well but I would also like to keep the text input. I find the T9 style text input to be perfect on this phone because of the small size. I downloaded a bigger keyboard from the market to try out but I quickly switched back. T9 was just much better suited for this phone. I also downloaded a new dialer but it wasn't built for the small screen so it didn't look good.
Btw, what's this font problem you speak of?
Root need for x10 mini
any idea when rooting for X10 mini? Did developers working on that... eagerly waiting to root this device.
Well that's the big question in'it, are any devs even workin on root for the E10i, eh?

True, you can replace keyboard, dialer and launcher.
I am using custom HTC-type keyboard (smart keyboard), and launcher (Zeam) that looks like a normal android, not "one widget per screen" type.
For emails I use K-9, and WiFi Manager to auto-setup wifi connections.
Fancy Widget for main screen weather and alarm access.
So far the problems I have encountered :
1. bluetooth connection to car radio is broken (calls can be made, but sound quality is terrible with noise) -- had same problem with HTC Hero on Android 1.5, solved by installing Android 2.1
2. WiFi won't stay up over 1 hour, after 60min it always disconnects, so SIP phone has problems getting calls in -- was also the same on HTC Hero, again, solved by 2.1 upgrade
3. I really miss the HTC Contact list and Dialer, built in one is useless, even the android standard one would be much better, but can't be installed
4. AirVoice can't be used without root (call recording app, very useful)
5. Overall response times could be better with optimized kernel, battery life is far from perfect
Good evening, this is my first post, so let me say this forum is a great source of knowledge and hope for every smartphone owner.
Anyway, i own a SE X10 Mini and i'd like to see a separate section for this phone (and for X10 mini pro) like there is a separate section for htc hd mini or htc wildfire (that seems to be desire mini). Is it possible? This way people will be able to post in the appropriate place. Thanks Mods.
Then, could any dev find a way to root our X10 mini and make us as happy as bigger X10 owners? Please help us.

The thing is that SE's bootloader is not like htc's, where you can interact with it somehow with adb and fastboot and stuff, SE's doesn't even have a normal recovery going around, so we can't replace it, since we don't know how it works. At least that is the conclusion i came to (sorry for assuming **** and everything, if someone knows something, please, wikileak us)

Simply, the answer is xRecovery... Even Mini/pro is capable of custom ROMs now. But because the bootloader is still uncracked, we can only replace the system, not kernel and drivers.

Thats a great idea.........If you got enough money to buy another Smart Phone....
for me i would rather put it in a hydraulic press and crush it
I like my phone, so i would not even hurt it... Better way is to crack the bootloader.
And if it cannot be cracked, at least we can try to port some useful things from 2.2 and make ourself the dualtouch.
SE software is anyhow of no use. It´s SE hardware, Android and 3rd party software, that makes this phone the good choice.
No more updates from SE needed and for me even not wanted.
You don't seem to understand, we can't get dual touch without cracking the bootloader!! We need to crack it to change the drivers, since the ones that are installed now do not implement dual touch support. As it is now, either we crack the thing, or we wait for the se update, there are no alternatives... Well, maybe find away to change kernels without having to break the bootloader but hell, I don't know...

meh replacing kernel without cracking bootloader...
that would be my only wish...
but for sure i never comes true coz bootloader needs to get cracked
i dont know this for sure
but i think its a kind of the iphone chain of trust
the bootloader checks the kernel if its original
if not i wont go any further
so we need to break this chain in the begin by cracking the bootloader so it wont check
i dont know this for sure but i think it works like that
hi guyz i want to buy this xperia mini pro soon, could you give me some feedbacks? the quality, speed, performance, camera, & problem etc.
if i want to purchase what should I check it? and how to check/test it (basically i check wifi,sms/call,camera/video ) what i mean is for the speed, performance, etc that can i locate the problem or defect..
And...This phone can play actually in facebook games like holdempoker, tetris?(which i mean support flash 10.3?) , and for the updates, is this possible can upgrade 2.3.4 soon?
it is true that Manufacturing dates affected in xperia mini pro regarding noise background, camera blurred, annoying screen when slide keyboard
(you can check under your battery for the build date of your device)
Here are the list affected:
* 11W28
* 11W29
* 11W30
* 11W31
Is this true?
and do you have own 11W32 manufacturing dates which has no defect like issue above?
I bought this phone and had used it for a month and I have no regrets. Its fast and awesome. I couldn't believe sony would make such a great phone at this price. Its almost equal to the big 'Xperia's.
I would definitely recommend this one.
There are certain problems, of course. I'm not on facebook, but yes it supports flash player 10.3. Calls are normal, messaging app is simple(no prob for me). But you can always use 3rd party apps.
Camera is not that good for still shots. I've used nokia phones n95, n97mini and they are way better. Video camera is the best Ive seen(that's because this is the only camera with hd recording that I've seen). I've heard of the noise problem too but I didn't care. It doesn't happen everytime you use the camera. About the battery problem, I'll check later. There's no annoying screen( I don't know what you mean) when you slide keyboard or use autorotate. But the space key is very annoying. You might want to check that before buying. I have to press it two to three times for it to work. Maybe I got a defective product, but anyway its the thing I hate the most out of this phone. And yes, it can be upgraded to 2.3.4 coming this october I think.
Feel free to ask more...

wow thxs for your great informative response.. If i download 3d games like asphalt 6 or battlefield etc it required to root it first?.. and it is recommend to root new phones like 1 week old (i know it will void warrantly, but how about the other disadvantage in rooting?)
for android os, the spec shows that 2.3 but all users has 2.3.3 . I am little confusing about this, is they manual flash to get 2.3.3 or if I buy it actually 2.3.3 already?
for the annoying screen while slide keyboard check this youtube and forward @13:11 and i have found out other user crossed this issues but i lost that link but it is similar to these. . .

Mine is already at version 2.3.3 when I bought it. So no flashing needed.
I'm on slow gprs internet right now so I'll watch the video later. I forgot to tell you that an annoying colourful screen appears sometimes when I open many apps and games at the same time and then pressing the home key to go there. Not that the screen stays like that, but it happens very fast but you will notice it. I happen to see pink and green lines. You might have seen such a thing on PCs(it happened on mine). It freaks me out so I never did that again. I used taskmanagers for switching.
If you buy licensed games, I don't think rooting is needed. I haven't thought of buying just yet, and don't intend to root my phone till my warranty runs out. I'll have to study more about rooting before doing it as I'm new to android OS. I'm satisfied with playstation games at the moment.

ahh okay.. I am also new in android OS. So I will wait couple of months before proceed in rooting.

rooting itself will not void your warrenty, as it can easily be undone as if you never tampered with the device. However, there is no easy way to root the phone (as in superoneclick or gingerbreak) and requires unlocking the bootloader which will void your warrenty.
I've heard that rooting can be undone, but is it a simple process or does it involve flashing a rom? I'm scared of flashing my phone. I've never done it even with my previous windows mobile and symbian phones.
And delmarz, about the wifi thing, I never checked 'cause I know I won't be needing it. But I've tried wifi tethering with my xperia and other phones which connected from mine ran with the same speed as in mine(alone). (...but seriously, I don't know which phone gets the credit in this case)

One really useful thing is that it is possible to take a backup of all the program's setting, game acheivements etc. This is not possible with a non rooted phone. The backup programs can't access the app db if not rooted.
If you need to reset your phone for some reason, at least your work and progress isn't spoiled.

Congrats, welcome to the family.
You downloaded the .apk file or the 'sdcard' data? For sdcard data, you can google where to put it (plus there should be an info from the site you downloaded). For installer (apk file), keep it anywhere. Try refreshing your folders or close the window and open again(if you're searching from pc). There should be no problem locating from the phone itself with any file manager.
Otherwise, use application installer from menu. It will automatically search for it. Careful though, nfs shift is the app that started the 'annoying screen' in my phone. I downloaded the installer and installed it, then started it, while downloading its data, I pressed home and then whoosh the pink-green-blah blah blah screen came in a flash. Most android users will try nfs first, don't worry.

Hello guys, I know it could sound really weird for you all, but here's my point: I just bought an Xperia Mini on eBay from a user claiming he had received it directly from Sony Ericsson as a free sample. I received it yesterday, it was unpacked and was sold together with the battery charger only. Nothing too strange.
By the way, after about half an hour I realized the phone had a front camera.
Ok, I watched the video and i know I'm a noob on XDA. But I'm no stupid
So don't tell me it's the light/proximity sensor! I wouldn't be here! It's a working front camera, since I can switch between this one and the "normal" one and take pictures. Here is a picture of the phone:
EDIT
Looks like I can't post links, so I'll just skip this step
Anyway, the other strange thing is that the phone comes with Android 2.3.3, build 4.0.A.2.368, and I can't update it. Not directly from the phone, nor using PC Companion. It just keeps saying the software is up to date.
So... have you ever heard of something like this? What should I do?
What is the phone model in the settings?
Model ST15i
I wrote to the seller, and he just answered me: he says that, working for a company that create applications for iOS and Android, they usually get five samples for each model. This is one of those. It could be, as I thought, a sort of "prototype". The thing is: I am grateful for the front camera, but I'd like to be able to get software updates, and this seems impossible. And also, I suppose that updating through "unofficial" ways would take to the impossibility of using the front camera.
i'm thinking of sending it back and buying a new one
I'm really envious right now...
really curious now.. Try adding photo's with the attachments feature !
where are you from?
can you share the link where you buy?
sorry for my bad english
Here's the picture of the phone... I wouldn't be envious at all, anyway. I have a couple of days to understand if I can update the phone, if updating causes the impossibility of using the front camera, and if - even worse - it can cause hardware incompatibilities, crashes, explosions or else. Then I have to decide if I want to send it back or not.
D'oh.
That's pretty cool... But it absolutely sucks that you can't update the firmware..

If it was a test product, don't think they will be happy that an Xperia Mini is roaming around in the wild with a front camera. In my opinion if you really want to update, flash a ROM that is made for the Xperia Mini Pro, then you might be able to use the front camera. There is barely any difference between the XMP and XM then the HW keyboard and the Front camera.

Well... how do I create a backup copy of my firmware? Because I'm not sure it's the same as the "normal" 4.0.A.2.368.

Install CWM recovery and do a backup maybe it will work if anything goes wrong
This phone is original?
What you could do is flash any Rom you want, that is from a Stock Rom. BUT! Always back up your system so that you can go back to it if something goes wrong.
If you need any help on how to's and stuff like that just tell me and ill help you out.
I'm curious by this system
You can root, install recovery CWM and send me one backup?
at least you can use face unlock after the official ics update

Yes make it easy because I gave my (now) unused x10 mini to my mom and she just need to call and read/write sms. She even do numbers on dialer finding a bit difficult the contact list!...
A part the single case, I think that there are a lot of people that are in the same condition.... So just willing to know: should I put back in the drawer the x10 mini and buy these "simple" phones or there is a firmware / mod / other way to make it really easy to operate?
PS: now I have rooted phone with mini cm 7 on it...
Thank you for the reply!

I would put stock rom back on and disable haptic feedback on the keytouches, SE did quite a good job of limiting the potential of the phone, but they did make it really easy to use (the haptic feedback lags sometimes, and you get no response on one click and a double-vibrate on the next, which is really annoying, much easier to type without it)
Hello i have XMP. I got a cheaper proposal to buy a LWW and i think to buy it becouse i don't feel the mini pro stable in my hand with that keyboard. I need opinions from some lww users. Is the display good?
edit: And also the phone is locked to a network provider. Is there any free way to unlock, if no what are the paid ways?

Keep the XMP, LWW has a horrible screen, and the phone is very slow. Currently there is no free unlock method, but you can try the paid ones.

Lol. Both xmp and lww got the exact same hardware, how could u said its 'slower' than xmp? That doesn't make sense.
Don't know about screen because never actually compared mine to other phone, but I guess its just OK.
But one thing for sure, no other phone can beat lww sound quality, with its dual stereo speaker its just awesome. Even the big boys nexus got crap slower sound.
I am using wt19i I am recommand you to change to wt19i this model have 2. Strong speakers. And its comfortable to hold the phone in the hand one thing missing. Its the battery. For more information please send a private message good luck
I also recommend LWW. I've had it for a year now and I can't complain about anything in this smartphone. I installed CM9 on it and it was
surprisingly fast, now testing CM10.

Do you mean it's got a simlock or not allowed BL unlock?
Simlock. If i cant unlock the bootloader i wont buy it.
I am reading alot of reviews. Everything seems to be good. Display, sound and on.. Does the bravia engine missing from the phone effects?
I think of buying a white for its better made of materials

It depends on from where you buy the phone. When my mother bought LWW, it was not simlocked and could be unlocked. It dosen't have bravia engine, but you can easily flash a rom to get that feature and no it does not effect the quality much. The phone has got one of the best sound quality.
The colour choice depends on you, but white can easily get dirty.
Ooh yeah. I will buy black. Well thanks for the advices guys. If someone have any other opinion please write
I'm an XMP user and I can say that I wouldn't trade it for anything with the screen of similar size. I mean, it is quite comfortable to type with an on-screen keyboard when you're using Xperia keyboard in phonepad mode OR if you install Swiftkey, but sometimes I turn the rage mode on because of those tiny buttons. and then the hw keyboard saves the day. but if you think of it as a bloody nuisance and you don't use it AT ALL, then fair enough, go for it

Hello. Sorry for my secnod post
I want to ask if the phone have unlocked bootloader status - no. Is there any way that it can be unlocked and use my fastboot?
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/live-with-walkman-wt19/unlock-tool/debranding-flash This can do the trick? But what if the phone is not manufactured before 12W11 ?
