Can't hackers cook Android 2.2 for X10 Mini?
I saw many hackers cooked Windows Mobile 6.5 for those who never get a chance to go beyond 6.1 officially, but nobody is working on Android. Is it possible or not?
As far as I know X10 Mini Pro bootloader is locked and this thingamagic is what allows custom rom to be installed into the system. So far, no success whatsoever on cracking the bootloader. This is a business decision from SE part as users are forced to buy a new handset to enjoy latest Android version.

This is really bad. But not only SE, Motorola is also doing the same.

Hi all ive had my x10 for 6 months and experiencing a few problems.
The phone is very slow, the touch screen doesn't react great and messaging is awful slow.
I cannot install flash for it, for example I wanted to install sky sports news and watch it on my phone but it said i need flash, i tried to install it and it says doesn't support it.
Im running Android 2.1. Also, can we get froyo or gingerbread on this phone?
Thank you.
Just search the forum mate lots of custom roms froyo and gingerbread, have a look around see whats best for you, guys on here will help if you get stuck, but please use search first

Upgrade it to gingerbread 2.3.3 for x10, either by SEUS (depending on your provider) or via flash tool in the development forum. Or a custom GB rom of the many right in the development forum.
Hello all!
I'm considering buying the SE Live Walkman phone, but just wondered if there are many custom ROMS available for it yet?
I have had a search but have only found threads based on rooting, and I noticed there isnt really a dedicated forum for it...
I am currently using Xperia X8 which came with 2.1 (stock), but I'm now running an almost perfect 2.3.7 ROM 'GingerDX' (Thanks to the MASTER Developer Doixanh)
It may sound funny but I will only get this phone if I can unlock/root/hack and flash the hell out of it. If no one is really focused on developing for this phone then I'll probably give it a miss.
Any respone would be greatful. Thanks

Custom rom for this device is under development
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
I have wt19 i have not rooted it or not done anything new in it. Since i am new to android might be i am afraid. But since ur main dedication is towards the rooting and custom rom. U can easily do that on SE devices since SE is itself supporting the open source world. There is boot unlocking method on there official site.
Also i think the CM has also been realsed for the wt19.

I was slightly weary about rooting and stuff at first but now I have a rooted X8 with custom kernel and it was surprisingly easy and haven't had anything go wrong.(maybe a few scares but nothing that couldn't be fixed) but now I'm looking for a cheap android with better processor plus I seen that the Live maybe also getting an official ICS update which is cool.
I think I will get this phone sometime soon.
thanks for replies

I have Spice MI 280 with 2.3.4 pre-installed.
I want to update my device to a higher version, maybe 2.3.7 which will be compatible for my device.
Please help! I am new to all this and bought a cheap phone only to learn these things. Besides, its my first Android phone and one month old. I have rooted it.
Please help me update it to a version that will be stable for my device.
650 mHz processor
150 mb RAM
sorry, i think, there is no update for your phone.

Hey Ironic138! I know there aint any official update from the manufacturer.
I was wondering if there is any way to update my OS to the Google Android ver 2.3.x
Not for any specific manufacturer. Just the one that Google provides as Spice didn't launch any updates for ANY of its device...
Thanks!
Sorry, but i dont get the point. Do you mean a custom rom?
Exactly! That's the term!

Why do you need the update? Whats wrong with 2.3.4?
I think, you have to talk to the user rjunraj, he is also searching for a way to update his phone!
CynogenMod?

In few forums I saw that CynogenMOD works for most devices but then how do I know it will work for me? Whether it will be stable or not.
I know these must be Noob questions for the pro so guys please save the harsh comments. I am looking fwd to learn how on this "now-feeling-crap" phone
First of all you need the CWM Recovery. Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26406717
Thats all what i can do for you!
Well your phone can defienetly not get ICS, and I don't think there is any differense between 2.3.X versions, the only thing would be if you could find a good CyanogenMod 7 custom ROM.
Thats the point, the phone has less ram and the CPU is not fast enough for ICS.
I don't really the problem with 2.3.4?!
I bought xperia from a mate for around 15 bucks since it doesn't have instagram so I did some research and heard rooting it would help. So i have recently rooted my xperia and now im wondering how do i install a newer OS of android for my rooted phone so it can run instagram? I have good experience from computers but never been into smartphones before so i am kinda confused by all the formats and stuff. Thanks in advance
Xperia x10 mini pro to be exact

The best ROMs (the common word for customized/unofficial android OS) you get after unlocking your bootloader and 'flashing' a custom kernel. Minicm7 (android 2.3.7 Gingerbread/GB, you probably have 2.1.1 Eclair installed) is probably the most popular ROM. The process of unlocking is slightly risky (your phone may use the mobile network ability if you do something wrong), but absolutely worth it.
If you prefer not to take risks, there are some GB ROMs for the 'stock'' (preinstalled) kernel on your phone, for which you have to install xrecovery.
Here is a Link with a bunch of tutorials and download links to awnser your questions:

Good Luck!
Good morning guys. I've recently bought a xperia mini second handed while I'm waiting for my gnex back from assistance. Well, these are the facts:
I'm not new in the Android world, so first of all I've searched for a guide to root and unlock my bootloader. My original build version was the 2.1.1.A.0.0 and I had several problems in rooting it. Flashtools didn't recognize my phone even in flash mode, and sony update service nor pc companion find me any update. So I paid 2 useless euros to wotan, hoping that changing the build would be useful for updating (on their server last version available was the 4.1.B.0.587, so ICS). Of course not update was found except for one thing, the program installed me the 2.1.1.C.0.0 build. With it I was able to make flashtools works. I rooted it with no problem and I've discovered that the bootloader cannot be unlock on my phone. Said so, I've reader that there are many ROMs that works even with locked bl, so I've installed the x recovery (cause the cwm caused me a soft brick twice) and I went for flashing a ICS based ROM from there. Unfortunately, again a bootloop. I had to restore the OFW using sony update server (2.1.1.C.0.0) and I'm currently on it. Is that possible that there isn't a way to see ICS on these little Android?
Thanks in advance.
I think you have Xpria X10 Mini
So it isn't good forum for you and in X10 mini you can only use ICS as Custom ROM
For example miniCM9

I don't really know the difference. From where can I see it?
And in the case it's the one you said, how can I put a custom ROM based on ICS? As you can read I've tried everything..
That's why go to x10 mini pro forum,I am ex x10 mini pro user,so you should go to there

Hmmm...if you don't found anything there then what make you think you will find something for your phone here? you are on the wrong Xperia lineup to ask this question....
you have to look carefully at HERE...if you lazy to go thru every pages then just read the first stikies thread...that can narrow down your search for finding the right Roms for your phone...remember your biggest problem is your locked bootloader cause there only a few Roms for locked bootloader...
