[Q] How to port x10 mini pro roms??? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

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???

Just use nobodyAtall his rom it is as good as slade his rom

thanks a million owain94... I really appreciate all of your work and your support to x10 mini! I was just curious to try porting and see what were the differencies. So if you could just explain to me what are these it would so great!!!
My regards,
Ribben

use the right mini / hardware files in /lib/hw us nobodyAtall his /usr folder you need to edit the ramdisk but you can also just take the one from nobodyAtall his rom and use mini modules instead of mini pro modules it should boot with some small problems

You need 2 use hardware resources from mini, and i think resize everyting to QVGA, for making everything fit the screen

thanks again owain94... and D4rKn3sSyS for your replies!!! And of course a big thank to all the developers who are supporting our minis...

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

You done that for your ROM ? I think not because this is CyanogenMod but...
And also, thanks a lot for all your work on your ROMs and for helping newbies we are
I will never thank you enough

what changes need to be done in the ramdisk?

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.

Well as per my view i don't think that 2.3 version will work on our mini's ..........Becoz(I HATE TO SAY THAT) its H/W requirements are far more larger than mini.

Nonsense! we just need to be able to put custom kernels, but we can't! (bootloader is in the way) so no froyo, no gingerbread, no ports till we eliminate that SE's moral breaker... 2.3 may go a bit slower, but if an htc magic can actually use froyo, we can use 4 or 5s if they ever appear (note the exaggeration, please)

stock 2.3 would run fine on the x10 mini (less apps like flash of course). SE just can't see any benefit in providing the update. As for the Kernel, developers on the big x10 have already proven that 2.2/2.3 will operate on 2.6.29.

2.2 can work. 2.3 only as a demo.
don't see why not..

but what is the use of 2.2, 2.3 when newer kernels work better,,, and we can't put new one w/o loader...

Sure, they work better but also newer system base can work better.
(even a 2.1 pure vanila android would work better than SE version. Remember: Less crapware = more speed)

The E10 is alive!! aliveeeee!!!
Hope someone bring v2.2 on our x10 mini.
I'm working on it, you can check my thread in the x10 mini pro development. I'm stuck atm but if I get this working I'll port it over to the mini in no-time

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

i use SE as base otherwise we don't see a kernel for 2 years xD
Very true its a pain in the ass to port specfic drivers to new kernels and it eats a lot of time!

How to make x10 roms to work with mini???

Does anyone know what I must change to an x10 rom to work on x10 mini????

Hi stelios97,
probably the whole rom. X10i is an ARMv7 build while x10 mini is build in ARMv6 architecture.
Different hardware means different libs etc etc.
Conclusion: DEAD END

I agree with D_d......Sumthings works with only on capabilities......

[Q] Differences between X10 Mini and X10 MiniPro ROMS

Hi guys,
I am a nooby so please be patient!
What are the differences between the same ROM for X10 Mini and X10 MiniPro?
Can it be possible to install a X10 Mini ROM and have a updated-script.zip just to activate keyboard and stuff like that into a MiniPro?
Thanks
Well, I try using the last CM7Mini 2.0.2 and it works fine, the only problem I found is:
- the touchscreen do not work: I already know that X10 Mini and X8 have the same touchscreen, and X10 MiniPro a different one
- the keyboard do not work: probably is only because in build.prop it is not defined a keyboard...
So, anyway to have a script to be installed via Recovery to have these 2 working after isnatlling a Mini Rom into a MiniPro?
Thanks

Whole usr folder, egl and hw folders inside libs, hardwarelegacy.so, and the other hardware.so, whole bin folder, and I think that's all different?, may be i miss something, anyway, which rom do you want?
EDIT: Just see that you like andread, well, this rom it's based on miniCM7, so it's the same if you use slade CM7, which it's compiled to mini pro, so should be better

Hi D4,
Thanks for the reply!
Well I try the last MiniCM7 v2.0.2 from nAa, and want to try [ROM] X8 | HACKDROID ROMS [1-June-11] from Racht and Gingerbread 2.3.4 CM7.1.0 RC0 J009 development from Jerpelea!!!
Both seems to be more 'advanced' ROMs than the one for Mini and MiniPro.
It would be awesome if using a update.zip (if possible) we can flash a X10 mini or X8 image and with the update be possible to work in our X10 MiniPro!
