the bootloader for x10 mini pro is not cracked. I don't think its possible for now! but surely owain and other guys will make it work!

it is not cracked but with custom exec tool you can replace kernel with it
i already did it but it gives a ****load of bugs but working on it
yes thats correct you can use kexec tool to boot a new kernel on the fly. but its always full of unexpected bugs
owain you can look in the sony ericsson kernel for the bootflags the zimage will use. and maybe use this as your rootdevice=blablablafromzimage or make a custom image on the sd card but new kernel will need mmc support compiled into it.

as someone say it, custom kernel on the fly is now possible (that was the progress for bootloader), and that mean developers can do somethis similar to the temporal CFW for the PSP 3XXX used for 3 years!, now is permament CFW

Very true its a pain in the ass to port specfic drivers to new kernels and it eats a lot of time!

I'll be more and happy to assist in the port for mini pro. only thing is i have exams until mid of feburary. but i think i'll be able to make some free time and help!
which tool chain do we need? codesourcery?
Mikevhl said:
Hello, I have a minor issue in porting over FreeX10.
Namely the camera, it is really being a pain in the {nasty word goes here}
the compiling process keeps on pooping me out with errors related to libcamera.so.
the libcamera.so is looking for android::CameraParameters::ORIENTATION, android::CameraParameters::ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE and android::CameraParameters::ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
which aren't devined in the AOSP source and are something Sony Ericsson has added in.
I tried putting in libcameraservice.so, libfacedetection.so and libfacedetectjnitest.so, but it's still complaining about resources.
Anyone wants to team up and help me port?

But still, I suggest to compile with USE_CAMERA_STUB := true and worry about it later

Sure, I'll put the rom online as soon as I have it booting, in pre-alpha stage that is.
Don't expect too much though, by 'booting' I mean that you get to the launcher.
Camera won't work for sure for the time being, but other than that I don't expect too many issues.
Thanks for your interest!

This is a port of the xRecovery installer by zoz33.
The big x10 which the original installer is from is using xRecovery 0.2 but I replaced the files with our xRecovery 0.1
So this is basically an "easy install mode" for our xRecovery 0.1

Anyone thought of compiling a 2.3 ROM for the X10 mini pro.
Or is it not possible yet? if so, why ? =)
hello guys i would like to ask what are the differencies between a x10 mini rom and a x10 mini pro? there are featuring the same wifi chipset, the same cpu, the same resolution... I think the two different things are the hardware keyboard which x10 mini pro has and the touchscreen!!! so i was thinking of porting slades minicm rom which is for x10 mini pro to our mini... what i should change to make it work for our mini???

well on roms like AOSP and CM you only have to set the density from 160 to 120 android will resize it for you but roms like liquid sense MIUI and that roms you have to resize everything

Depends on ROM, but you can use some existent ramdisk, for example if you wanna port CyaNoComb (that's for mini pro) to mini, you can use MiniCM ramdisk, and will work (but of course you will lose improvements/tweaks)

I'm trying to port FroyoBread (x8 rom) to x10 mini... when I replace the ramdisk it's stuck at the SE boot logo. If I don't replace it it boots and shows some distorted image and then reboots.

FroyoBread it's already ported, MiniCM for mini pro v6.01, it's a port from it, you can port it easier from X10 mini pro, really easier.

No it cannot be flashed as of yet because of CWM version. Eyama is in the process of porting 4.x.x to our mimmi and i guess robyn too as they cant be much different.

The FXP kernel already contains what you need in order to flash the CM ROM.
This isn't Formula 1 btw.

The main problem is for mini pro cause kernel is unflashable.
Hi nAa, it's been a long time since you released an update. What's up? Are you working on a new kernel (2.6.35 or something )! Can we expect a new update sometime soon?

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks man! so isnt gonna be a new kernel update yet?
what Gapps we should flash? because the apps you suggest in your thread are differente from the cyanogenmod forums
guys I tried the Official Cyanogenmod 7.1 for my mini ( http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32778-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-xperia-x10-mini-v710-11-oct-2011/ )
If you want to try it flash FXP kernel first.
Still the official cyanogenmod still has issues.. for example no 5mp camera, only 640x480.

MiniCM7 is blazingly fast especially the latest release, but I think it's too early to tell that cyanogenmod is not good. In the future cyanogenmod will surely be better than MiniCM7 with full support from cyanogenmod team.
Also.. cyanogenmod has Android 2.3.7 but for now I recommend you staying with MiniCM7.. I am sure there are bugs present in CyanogenMod such as camera still 640x480.
but it's worth a try like I did

I just installed CM7.1 in my Mini with the FXP Kernel, Is really really fast!
But is not so customizable like MiniCM, i miss the miuibatterybar ._. camera is vga, and this rom doesnt have MiniCM theme by D_d

Does anyone know how to modify the start up picture at boot ? I'd prefer to have the original "Sony Ericsson" prior to the normal boot animation or even just the plain XPERIA logo rather than an alien picture ( No offence ) ...
I have got a key from SE
Installed Android SDK
Moved the SE driver to extras/google
Pressed up, plugged in phone, and cannot find the drivers >_<
There doesnt seem to be fastboot.exe in tools either :/

Hi everyone, is there any dev that can make a module to overclock the ray without unlocking the bootloader? One year ago I had an Xperia x10 mini and i was able to overclock it on locked bootloader just putting a file with root manager. I know that it's possible to overclock with custom kernel but i don't want to unlock the bootloader and i think that i'm not the only one who would be very happy to do that.
Thanks
then you probably need a stock kernel, but with root access to the system. Then manually change the parameter yourself i guess.
Developer dont want to do that since they can build the custom kernel from source. IMHO
