Hi, I am a noob. I am using SE X10i Mini & this is my first android handset. I have stock Android 2.1 installed & rooted with one click. I want to enable " Fake dual touch" & " install apps on memory card. I don't want to install any custom rom cause I am new in it. Is it possible to get those feature without flashing to custom rom??

You can install but the work is just too much!(what i think!).
Go for MiniCM6 1.0.2 cause that is the best custom mod available around now -best performance and best stability. If you follow the instructions then you should be having zero problems installing and running it.
Best of luck!
Thanks for your kind help. As far as I know all custom roms decreased the quality of camera. Is that true? I use my x10 mini's camera too much. Please ensure me about the camera quality of the roms.
Bah! Nothing like that! MiniCM6 has full 5MP support but MiniCM7 has only VGA support so i suggest you for MiniCM6 1.0.2 and as an extra install Camera 360 from Android Market to get some classy pictures!
If u want dual touch then search ''x8 fake dual touch'' follow the link then follow instrustions
For apps2sd use link2sd
2.2 roms are supported only fully working camera, but if you want to enable the fake 2 touch finger support ( Dual-Touch ) get update.zip 004 gesture and there is an instruction how to active it by placing fingers on the phone screen.
I have installed Dual touch. It is working in angry birds game, but not not working on gallery. I cant use pinch zoom.

Im thinking of buying my brother a X10 but i have a few questions to ask first. I currently have a HTC desire so i prefer android phones now.
1. I see that its possible to root the phone but there does not seem to be much ROMS available. Is there any reason for this?
2. The main reason i wanted to root and change ROM was to install A2SD but the X10 has much higher internal memory at 1GB. But can i still install A2SD+?
3. I see that there are vanilla 2.2 Roms but they have a few bugs. So is there a vanilla 2.1 Rom that is stable and everything works?
Thanks
1. The bootloader aint cracked yet, so the dev's are restricted with what they can cook..
2. Yes.. I believe you can, although I haven't bothered.. not needed it myself.
3. stock SE 2.1 with tweaks (JIT, junk removed, other minor changes) runs really well..
You should buy x10 immediatly.
Nice ROMs, stability, good devs etc.

Thanks, very informative reply.
In regards to the internal memory, how much space does the phone have for apps? The desire only has 150mb so that's why you need to a2sd.
The stock SE 2.1 Rom with all the junk removed sounds exactly what I'm looking for, have you got a link to it?
Finally, is it correct you there are 2.2 Roms but only the camcorder is not working? Or have they got other issues too?
Thanks
the best 2.1 rom is this, it's the one i have now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913610
really fast and stable, everything works 100%, you get over 400mb of internal storage with this rom.
the 2.2 roms mostly everything works but camcorder and a couple small things. but i'm still on 2.1, it works great, i won't switch until they've got a 2.2 rom with fully working camcorder.
hope this helped!
if u want free flashing,
i would recommend google phones or the galaxy S from samsung
x10 has the bootloader locked + encrypted so it's hard for the devs here to cook roms without bugs.
hii all , im a BIG Noob in all this.
i wanted to mod my phone (x10a running 2.1), i read about rooting n custom roms
i rooted my fone(sucessfully ! ) using superoneclick , helped by a youtube video
but after rooting , now , the problem is | my android market isnt working , it crashes everytime i try to download some stuff .
is this a common problem ? if not , how to unroot my fone !
and i still want to install custom rom. i want 2.2 atleast , but a STABLE rom , with all the things working (camera , vid cam , bluetooth , wifi + get mutli tuch !!! )
thanks

Download the Flashtool from androxydes thread in the Dev section, then reflash latest firmware, root and install XRecovery with the Flashtool. Then you can download ROMs to your SD and flash them. Im not sure what causes your market issues but if you follow the instructions I just gave and the ones in the flashtool and ROM threads you will be fine.
Everything works in the 2.2 ROMs now with the exception of some camera features like zoom and face recognition but zoom works in some 3rd party apps.

Ive noticed this since I upgraded to gingerbread.. phone is now very slow..
when I play music, it plays as something is taking up all the processing power in the background and the music plays as it is buffering, loading and playing..
the games that I download run so slowly that it feels like playing modern games on Pentium 3.
when I press the home button, all programs minimize but the icons on home screen load up one by one.. they are empty boxes and appear one by one.
anyone else have any experience like this?
any help or advice would be appreciated.
I am on stock gingerbread, i do not have any mod roms installed.. My phone has been rooted.
android version - 2.3.3
baseband version 2.1.71
-old question was closed without giving any reason, maybe it was in the wrong section... so trying again
Have you tried restarting?
Perhaps you have too many applications installed on the phone's memory, you should try moving it to the SD card in Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
Hope this is of some help.
I'd suggest rooting and installing a custom rom, it'll fix all of your issues.
I'd suggest TEAM ROM because I'm using it, and it's awesome.
And yes, the last question was in the wrong section.
hi, thanks for the reply.
I am also thinking of reflashing and installing a custom rom, but what always prevented me from doing so were the limitations of it, as every rom had some problem, some did not have working wifi, some did not have working camera.. and so on..
but I was following teh MIUI Rom and that looks promising, I noticed that the xperia x10 is not yet supported: http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-development-roms/
but also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307044
will this custom MIUI Rom work? should I go through with it? (it also mentioned as wifi not working and third party app must be installed to fix it)
Thanks

Unlocking BL is a one step process in FlashTool. Flashing is a "breeze"

Hello I am new to XDA developers and want someone to help me with some things
What is the best ROM for x10 mini pro with stock kernel (I can not unlock bootaloader to check that I get with s1tool NOT RECONOZIGNED CERTIFICATE)
What is the best music player, you have the option to find and play by folder and that does not take many resources
Someone recommended me the best application for instant messaging, where you can chat services like MSN, Facebook, Gtalk, etc ... but that can send and receive files
If there is no ROM and stable good enough, someone can help me, that applications are in order in the system of stock I can safely delete
As I can change the system bootanimation
Stock, I put one of the new Xperia where only the word XPERIA
I hope I can help, thank you very much! :laugh:

It's very stable, it's still in development
And the best application for instant messaging i think are Kik.

MiniCM7Pro by paul-xxx is the best ROM on stock kernel, check it out in the MiniPro Development section of this forum.
i think miniCM7 is the best and more stable!!

Useless advice if he states time and time again he can't unlock the bootloader, MiniCM7 only runs on nAa kernel.
You could also try ArcMini Nxt, (the non ICS version), that will run on stock too

I'd agree with that. I had that for a while and it worked really nicely.
Thank you very much for all your answers, but the truth is I've tried several ROM's
MiniCm7 pro V21 (This is very good, and something stable, but the battery consumption is excessive and also the problem that the keyboard lights are lit when the display is lit) (I tried 2 fix it is installed through CWM and fix apk)
ArchMini (This is very good so it stable, but has the problem of the lights, I tried several fix and none works)
XperianBlaze (Very good ROM and also has a new version is very good but if it has a problem with the lights on the keyboard)
SonyStyle (Very good and very stable ROm, but as has the problem of lights)
I tried these ROM's and many more that I found on the net, but all have the keyboard problem, the wifi is turned off by the minute (This I could not fix) Besides all ROMs to install and move applications to the SD become slow (Which does not happen in the official version 2.1) All ROM's are slowed to install themes (I tested issues ICS)
I've seen all ROMs work better with custom kernels, apparently touched me stay with the official version, Thank You!
I approve the application Kik, the trouble is that few know of my contacts from this universal application jejejeje Thanks, I was looking for an application to chat with all the contacts in social networks, Facebook, MSN, Gtalk, etc, if someone know a good application, I would love to leave me the name of the application, Thank you!
Sorry but my English is not very fluid
can't go in recovery
phone=xperia x10 mini pro (u20i)
I tried almost every method for installing cwm or xrecovery....like recoverX ,xrecovery installer, etc etc...and all methods says successful....
Bt the problem is that it won't go in recovery....i tried all combination...like vol+,-...back button ,etc.....
No success....can any body help me.....to solve this problem...

ISKperia Z is based on latest minicm7nightly
Hello friends,
never tried rooting any android as of yet, but my phone has gone painfully slow now forcing me to do something.
i would be grateful if i get a help/ recommendation is choosing the ROM.
I want a light, fast and stable ROM but don't want to scarifies any features ( e.g CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 says no tethering (both wifi/usb) )
my only usage are call/sms, occasionally taking picture, videos & playing some light games like candy crush.
im zeroing on ****FeraLab*** FeraKernel-JB-v4
update:- frealab, 720p video playback don't work and so as capture
please suggest me if in going in right direction is it advised to install JB ROM in X10 kepping the stability POV ?
Thanks in advance.
I wouldnt flash a jelly bean Rom, but if you did so it would also handle your tasks.
For all features I would recommend DiXperia 7 and finally you could use a gaming Rom as they have least stuff but best preformance. On jelly bean you could use xposed as well

Ditto @keenofhiphop.
I wouldn't flash/install any ROM other than GB.
There are many reasons to install a JB ROM, but mostly those looking to install a JB ROM on an XPERIA X10i never identify any real reason, they just think they need JB+
The best ROMs and Kernels for the XPERIA X10i are all GB based and to date I know of no ICS+ Kernel that supports 2D Hardware Acceleration for videos and etc. This may change if @FeraVolt and others are able to modify the Adreno 200 drivers to support 2D HW acc in ICS+
I too would look at a gaming ROM for the least system overheads.
There is the newly created GB FeraKernel v14.1 and FeraLab ROM v30.2 which I have tested and know to have a very responsive UI and good 720p 2D video playback.
I use DoomKernel v6 and @Tof37 X10S ROM (FeraLab based) with a heavily modified build.prop which provides a similar experience to FeraKernel v14.1
Having a Class6(or greater) microSD card and offload(I use Link2SD) as much as you can helps, as the X10i built in flash only has a read of ~6MB/sec and a write of ~3MB/s. Compare this to a SanDisk Extreme 64GB card which I ran for a while in my X10i which gives a 20MB/sec read and 13MB/sec write.
I'm currently using a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card which provides a good cost/performance ratio. 17MB/sec read, 7MB/sec write
thanks @Dr Goodvibes and @keenofhiphop for inputs.
I was thinking as JB is more polished and is newer i am thinking to go for JB if i flash.
but since HW playback & recording is not available i would probably look something else other then Feralab...
i have 1 doubt at this time... do we have to flash with the latest Kernel first & then the ROM ? is it possible to revert back to old kernel at later if i change rom ?
sorry for my noobish question but im flashing any android rom for first time

True, JB has many advances in performance, security and interface options/features.
However, hardware development/drivers for the XPERIA X10i stopped at GB 2.3.3
Many of the JB performance features do not translate into real performance gains for the XPERIA X10i due to hardware constraints.
Thus GPU HW acc and camera (which is bound to the GPU) suffer. Also WiFi is 802.11g, Bluetooth is v2.1 and etc so any JB ROMs have to be retro fitted to accommodate these services.
Many developers do an excellent job of building JB ROMS and Kernels for the X10i, but they do come with some caveats and these should be understood before one installs a JB ROM.
One good thing about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i is that it's a very good development platform and very robust and very hard to knowingly hard-brick the device. It can always be restored to a Sony Ericsson default firmware of GB 2.3.3 at any time, with a PC and a USB cable.
When you root the device you can install CWM recovery from flashtool and then using CWM Recovery to backup your system and thus provide a quick and easy way to restore a ROM even when you're not able to successfully boot Android, but still have access to CWM recovery.
If you can find an old version of flashtool circa v8, it has more features for the XPERIA X10i as newer version of flashtool don't have these services as newer phones have rightly become the focus of Flashtool now.
I would suggest FeraKernel v14.1 and FeraLab v30.2 ROM as the best first ROM, as there is currently a lot of development around this ROM/Kernel combination and thus you'll have tens of people to assist you if you have questions.
This doesn't have to be a long term commitment as you can always flash another ROM/Kernal at any time, but it does expose you to a better understand of flashing Kernel/ROMs and etc.
I would also suggest looking at unlocking your bootloader on your XPERIA X10 as this has no negative impact that I know of and also allows you to install a greater range of ROM/Kernels which rely on having an unlocked bootloader.

Thank you very much, @Dr Goodvibes, those are exactly the words boosted my confidence to go ahead & flash. and as you said once i finish a single flashing process successfully i would be more confident in future flashing,...
:good:
A word to the close: @Dr Goodvibes I totally agree to you, a found that in jb you could notice project butter and it worked really smooth but! it drains the battery a lot more than GB and there are several problems with hardware as mentioned with camera and gpu.
I think feravolt is one of the last Devs that really develop in the X10 but I could never really be stratified with his roms, as they look very mixed up from different mods. Which is off course a cosmetic thing but I didn't like it. I first flashed DiXperia 7 about two years ago and was totally happy with it, but as I am I was not stratified because flashing is fun I can say I flashed my X10 probably about 150 times, maybe more.
It was pure fun
Two months ago it finally gave up, it's on fetakernel and doesn't get flashed by Flashtool. (it was time for a new one)
However I hope you'll have a good time as I did and unlocking the bootloader only had advantages add is easy and offers you full customization.
And have a look into uot kitchen
It was the best about GB^^
