I don't think that you can buy those buttons separately ..try to go to the garbage dump and maybe you can find a black mini pro there..or buy a black one and swap those buttons..

Android 2.3.5
Still looking for black volume rocker and camera button, anybody knows who selling these parts for my phone??
Yesterday I installed Android 2.3.5 onto my Sony mini pro X10.
It is custom ROM version CM7
works perfect, looks really nice and much faster then 2.1
Really happy with it!

i really don't think you will be able to purchase those parts separately. u might want to ask around for someone who has a broken x10 mini pro so u can salvage the parts.

Hey
Google really helps sometimes:

(not yet available)
Maybe they will get it in stock soon
Greetings
Marius
PS: in the x10 section, there is such a button set

X10 mini E10i ROOT,ROMS,HACKS

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.

Yeah the iphone style reset works.
Keen to see the root for this phone it's quite impressive for something so small and cheap.
someone could try to root the phone with x10 method?

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.

Yes, I agree with you , hope the MODS here listen to the request of x10 mini users to have a seperate section ? Not sure how to request the MODS about this ?

Sticky keyboard on X10 Mini Pro

I just received a brand new X10 Mini Pro from an eBay seller. Great little phone! The keys all work fine, however, some of them have a sticky feeling and make a 'sticky' sound, as if the pad below the keys is trying to stick but comes off.
Do any of you have this problem, and would the problem eventually go away?
I saw a disassembly guide online but it seems that removing the keypad requires lifting up the keypad area with something pointy, which I really don't want to do without risk of damage!
Exchanging the unit is a possibility but for me it would be expensive to send it back and then have to pay FedEx brokerage fee for the exchanged unit.
Hi, have the same problem that you have =) I have an x10 mini pro and without any reason my "S" key on the hardware keyboard just lost that 'click' sensation o_o the thing is that the key works correctly, but it feels really strange to press something and have not sure if you pressed that or not... maybe I used to much strong when the "S" key I don't know for sure what caused that. I removed the keyboard and got access to that transparent part of it and when pressed the circle that corresponds to the S key, the sensation is the same...
my question is: There is any simple way to solve this? Without have to disassembly all the phone? I mean I bought my phone only two months ago, I rooted it and changed to 2.3 also XD I guess if I have to send to the warranty I will have to comeback to 2.1 and maybe unroot it (if it is possible)
Also, there is anyway to unroot the phone? thanks in advance
Me too have the same the prob...Infact with a lot of keys....
I thought thats the way it is, aint it....Does anybody(or everybody) has the same prob....?
And the worst part is i never have used my keyboard....LOL
After installin these custom roms i've only used onscreen keyboard..(Installed custom roms just 4 days after purchase)
I have my mini since 0.5 year and keyboard works perfectly. @Alucart88 I think only solution for you is replacing keyboard.

Query: notification lights

Hi everybody!
I bought a Optimus One to replace my HTC Magic Vodafone..
Since I'm missing the Notification led, I was wondering if there was some way to replace it with a glowing effect on the physical buttons or something like that..
Basically I'm asking to someone more able than me to tweak the phone to look if it is feasable or not ;P
+1 on that. "noled" app does something similar by using the screen, but I think that using backlight of phone's phyisical buttons would be the best solution.
Maybe if someone with enough skill can write an app or something..

Call me crazy guys and i truely do miss an external led notification light ..even external flashing led physical keys ...welp heh this is why i had free time to get intouch with an app developer to code the api's and do a simple app to hopefully (cross fingers) get this to work on our devices.
Needs time and a guine pig phone to test i got in return..so guys if i cant get someone to port a hd2 like api to get it flashing. So if i cant get a thrashed body phone in ok condition i might need a donor phone in alright working conditon to get testing done plus coding.
Just another step in development. I just wanna help much as i can.

[MOD] Answer call with volume buttons

Hello guys!
My Defy didn't arrive yet, so i want you to help me test this thing.
I like hardware answer-call buttons but Defy doesn't have them so i decided to write a mod which will answer ringing call if you long-press any volume buttons.
Short-press should still work fine and silence ringer. Is that good idea?
I've modified android.policy.jar from 2.34 deodexed. Attached file will work only on 2.34 deodexed! Please don't ask how to install it; i dunno. If someone find this working, i'll be glad if you prepare update zip.
Note that it's my first time ever hacking Android and i'm totally not sure if it works.
So, does it work? Maybe idea is stupid or i posted in wrong section?
I think it's a good idea, because when wearing gloves, we can't answer!
would be nice to do the same for the camera. We could be able to take underwater pictures this way!
Okay my Defy came and so i tested and this mod DOES work nicely.
Although phone has quite small volume rocker and could be hard to press. But still better in cold winter
I can do 2.2 mod as well, not sure for which firmware. Also, where can i get compiled dexopt-wrapper to make odexed version

i like the idea. it would be better if it can be used to hang up a call as well...
The volume button is too small so I would rather use the screen.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I think this is great idea. I'm still wating my dev, but i've already have thinged about same thing - attach line up/down on long lower volume button and camera on valume up [not long].

are you going to do coinCity based on latest firmware v3 from cubot site
http://www.cubot.net/UploadFile/Soft/GT99 T Card Upgrade firmware link.rar
Anyone else have a problem flashing the latest 803/v3 firmware? I've also tried the CoinCity rom but couldn't see anything new...exactly the same for me.
Screen gamma/saturation - can this be changed?
What's your cell standby battery usage like? Mine is 35%+ :/
Changing the lcd density to 245 makes everything looks awesome
I have this smartphone too, I have retired mi old X10i. I wish that the cooks make any nice rom

Can you boot normally?

no, recovery is made through holding volume up and pressing power button. After you see androind with "no command", release up button and press shortly power button. Then in menu: volume down-scrolling through menus, volume up-enter/ok.

Hi, could anyone help me with Adobe Flash? I installed Opera Classic and Opera for Android, tested my pages meteo.pozorka88.cz/teplomer.php and realized that flash doesn't work. Tried icon Flash player settings, finish with Opera and also built in browser but nothing happened. Help please.
I just came across this phone and am considering purchasing it. Before I do, can anyone comment on the pros and cons of the phone? What I am most interested in is the screen as far as viewing angles. I have contemplated the Alcatel Fierce (which has similar guts as this) but was really disappointed with the viewing angles - if you are not looking at it straight on, it gets all washed out/dark/bluish looking. If this phone has a better display than that I may consider getting the GT99.
Thanks all.
I have it few weeks with CoinCity 2.0 ROM.
Pros:
-display
-nearly excellent camera-does detailed pictures
-GPS problems can be fixed with a piece of wire connected to the gps connector-further contact from camera lens. GPS fixes faster and has stronger signal. This week I tried it in my car and capitol city Prague and with some version of Sygic it had ~400m lag from real position of my car. After update to newest version it has no lag. But when standing on lights, arrow moves around my position. Do you remember "static navigation" switching on Sirfstar chipsets? This is exactly what it is about.
-back silicone cover included
-it's fast, no lags
-no trash in stock rom and even more no trash in CoinCity ROM
-good speaker, my wife often says, that I am absolutely deaf, in Cubot I hear everything (I want )
-cheap (banggood.com: 146USD with voucher, free delivery and well packed and on envelope marked as cheap MP4 player for customs reason).
Cons:
-I'm bored from typing anything on display-a lot of mistypings, uncomfortable.. As I had xperia mini pro SK17 and HW keyboard was absolutely comfortable for me
-only one colour led (blue)
-hw under display keys lit only when touched, not with display. Not very easy to find back button on first touch.
Others:
-still did not find ideal contacts and dialer app, as the built in (Coincity) is stupid. I have ConTacTs from some japanese (I think) developer, it is nearly ideal, but could be better.
I appreciate your quick response...not to pester you, but could you tell me about the display? Does it wash out/black out if you tilt the screen too much one way or another?
No problem. I tried to read SMS from ~80degree angle left/right/up/down from direct view and I think I could read it (but the shiny display behaves as mirror, so it is the only reason for hard reading from that angle). No problem with colors, yes, white is not so white as when it directly lights to your eyes. If you mean normal tilt, with normal use, ie. say 45 degree, you will not see any difference from direct view.
I know what you mean from my old camera, where lcd display shows something totally different when looking directly and when lcd slightly tilted. This is not the case with Cubot.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. This seems like a great phone, especially for the price...unfortunately, after further research I have found that this phone will not work properly with AT&T or TMobile in the US.
Good luck to everyone else.
