[Q] Root + Recovery + Custom ROM (Better way?) - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello all,
I have an X8 but I need to get to know about x10 mini pro because of a friend of mine.
Which is the best way to root it, to install xRecovery (or something like that, which one do you guys use in Mini pro?), and which is the best and stable ROM for X10 Mini Pro (which is the most stable? 2.2 or 2.3?).
If there is any tutorial already, please post in this topic a link to it.
Thank you.

i allways use this way for root and xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
or this app for xrecovery and cwm recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128854
you will need CWM recovery for install custom roms (Xrecovery is allmost history)
for now the most stable roms are 2.2 and they are:
CyaNo (R)Evolution & CyaNoComb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132063
Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM) - v5.0 Final Release Reuploaded
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361
FroyoComb v1.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085607
and 2.3 rom:
Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 based on MiniCM for MiniPro (v15.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041099

I would suggest using CyaNoComb 1.1 it is very stable and the battery usage is very low
Also for installing CWM recovery the easiest way is by using the app made by D4arkenessys
To root it use superoneclick root for the pc
Just google it and download it

Thanks guys, but can't I use FlashTool for rooting and installing recovery?

which gives you [ROM] MiniCM7 Pro - V20-Final and CWM4
Hi Joe,
Thanks for those links. I've done lots of searching, but I still can't get this quite right...
I'm able to install CWM3 just fine. I install xrecovery and then install cwm3. Then I try to follow the directions here (linked to on the page you link), but doing the install of the MiniCM7 ends up bricking my phone (perhaps I should try from CWM4).... any link on how to just go from cwm3 to cwm4? or some help?

[Q] MiniCM7-2.1.9 or MiniCM7Pro - V21 FINAL?

I've not used MiniCM7Pro coz I have the mini not mini pro ( x10 mini ) and that is for the pro (The One with hardware keyboard ) So, if you have the pro go for the MiniCM7Pro v21 Final coz it has to bug free or very less bugs, I think so go for the later version if u have u20a or u20i or else u have to use the Mini CM 2.1.9 as I am using..Hope I have helped you......
i'm using MiniCM7-2.1.9
it's great rom
Hi,
I am using MiniCM7 2.1.9 since months, and what I can say is that latest version has not bug and it is fast....what expecting more ?
I'm using CM7 2.1.9 too. The latest kernel by Nobodyatlall simply amazing because it has ICS transition and the rom is by far the best for X10 mini device. Furthermore, my friend simply try to install Ungaze Data2sd and this makes it has plenty of internal memory (the script add up the ext partition internal storage).
I tryed both of them and what I can say (without any bad feeling toward anyone) MiniCM7-2.1.9 is more completed and bug free (I found 0) than MiniCM7Pro (problems with tethering and hot-spot, no possibility fo switch on-off flash-light from power widgrt in task bar.. and probably more).. Anyway probably the only one advantage is use of Go Ex Louncher that I use.. Performance is equal based on a subective feelings but not measured via benchmark (I do not believe them..) In case You have specific questions feel free to ask.. I hope to be able to answer You
i use this [ROM] GingerDX | is CM7 2.1.9 too with more stuf

But You can Root Uninstall what You do not need
Is this all about preinstalled stuf or stability and relability?!?

Problem number 1:
This is the mini forum, not the mini pro forum.
Problem number 2:
You posted in DEVELOPMENT section just to ask which rom is better. Next time, post in the Q&A. development is, as the name obviously states, only for Android development(new roms, kernels etc)

THX!
1 - YES, you can recover back via CWM your backup CM7 - but before it you have to flash nAa kernel (instead of JB kernel) and in CWM wipe data and some more things - just read carefully the thread about CM10)
2 - all costum roms are still in developement and still improving, so you can use them, but they are not bugs-free and some of them not for day-2-day use (much bugs)
3 - why you cant go to developement section and download it from there? xD

A list of "YOU MUST DO with your Mini"?

Hi,
I have Galaxy Nexus and flash it a lot. So I'm not newbie.
But I'm a total newbie once we talk about X10 Mini.
What are the most important things I must do with my Mini?
- CWM? Is there a cwm for mini?
- Titanium?
- Tweaks/tools/apps for speed and performance?
I want to stay with stock ROM.
Thanks for tips.
You flash Android on one divace but you newbie on Android on other divace hmmm
Whell if you wanna stick to Stock :
1.JIT
2.oc/uv module
3. fake DT
4.zipalign
that's it . You cant do much on 2.1 anymore - you keep the best - Camera and Radio and that's all . There no G-play for it you got few apps left on Market which is still support 2.1 and that's it. You can use A2SD via SDext2 from G-play.
spoken in 2 words - Camera and Radio =2.1
Android 2.1 on our small beasts is like driving a tank and shooting out the barrel with a pistol.
It can do so much more

Hi bro welcome to X10 Mini Forum, My tips for you is to Root Your X10mini, Install CWM, unlock the bootloader of it then flash a kernel and rom for it and also use V6 supercharger By Zep and Seeder(flashable zip) By Ryuinferno
that is my tip for u
PS: What is the manufacturing date of your x10 mini??? 2010 or 2011???
For Tools Search it here at XDA
superoneclick(Phone Rooter)
xrecovery(xrecovery will automically upgrade if you flash a new kernel)
flashtool(For Flashing Kernel And Stock Rom/Kerne)l
For ROMS
GB- MiniCM7 2.2.1 By nAa (recommended)
ICS- AOSP Ported by stelios
JB- Any JB Rom You want(only in this forum)
Thanks guys!!
I've got so much info in those three posts.
Let me chew everything now.
Thanks!
Hi!!!
Thanks for your replies. I did almost everything. And my wife's phone rocks now !!!
Root + unlock boot loader + nAa kernel + CWM (came with kernel) + MiniCM7 2.2.1 By nAa = DONE
Q:
1. Do I need v6 supercharger on top of miniCM7? Is there a thread for X10 mini how to install that V6 supercharger correctly and get most of it?
2. Seeder? This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032 ??? Anything specific for X10 mini?

1. V6 supercharger is great for multitasking, no matter what rom. You just have to install busybox and run the v6 script from smanager (search on play store).
2. Seeder is mostly for heavyweight gamers, and not really suited for daily use, as, in my experience, it drains the battery.

1. Is busybox which was installed during rooting process with flashtool enough? Or should I download busybox from the Play Store?
2. No gaming planned. So I'm skipping this.

The I don know the preinstalled version of bb on flashtool, so, to be sure, I´d download the one from the market and install it.
Ok. Thanks.
