Hello guys
I have one quick question...I searched both Mini Pro section and Custom Rom thread but nothing, no luck...Answer is somewhere, I'm probably just to stupid to find it :/
Anyway,
I'm on MiniCM7 v15.0 (by slade87 and nobodyAtAll)
2.6.29 and 53404015
What steps do I need to take to go to GinTonic.SE v2.4.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207740)
And if you can give me your opinions on GinTonis CE v.2.4.3. How is it? Is it stable etc.?
Thanks in advance!
It`s Very Stable,fast and ,,, !
Just Flash Your Kernel & Enjoy !
I wipe all data and then flash it using CWM?

GinTonic SE v.2.4.3 is vere stable and very fast as well, no FC for me since i installed it.
Think that it works best with slade87:s Zombie Panic kernel.

You presumably have a mini.. does gintonic support mini too?? (btw gintonic is amazing to say the least.. and with zombiepanic Kernel, GODLIKE!!)
Just flash with CWM (try without data reset first.. it might work) if it doesnt work, clear data partition and flash zip again with CWM...
I'll try that...I was asking because I don't want to unlock my bootloader (messy person, don't wont to hard brick my phone), so basically I can't have Zombie kernel.
And yea, it's for x10 mini pro.

yes, you can install it without unlockbootloader and install a custom kernel. but after installing the ROM, you must also install the module.
Ok, so just to be sure, i need to do this:
Wipe data > flash ROM using CWM > flash modules using CWM....
And then I'm ready to go? I don't need to do anything else?...Is GinTonic SE by slade87 on normal kernel as good as one on Zombie kernel?
as far as i do the processes to instal whitout ZP is realy this
Wipe data > flash ROM using CWM > flash modules using CWM
(sometimes i clear cahce e dalvikcache, but those are cleared in the flahs process so not really necessary)
i recently removed ZP and tryed Stock kernel, for a problem i was having with my phone and for the moment i cant say i noticed diference from the two. could be some but i dindt found it.
Ok, thanks for your answers and help guys. Appreciate it very much
I'll flash it first thing tomorrow
Once more, thank you all!

Hi guys,
First, sorry for my English... I'm Brazilian... =x
Well... i have bought a LG P500 and i really don't know what i will do with it, because i don't understand this whole thing about custom roms, kernel, custom recovery, ...
But i'm reading some articles and i'm in a doubt... what i do?
I install a Custom ROM (like void forever 2.3.4)?
or
I install the 2.3 GB (Officil FW)?
Thanks!

void. #forevah.
LOL. "What is the best" asks for a nice flamewar. Would suggest to use the phone with stock FW for a while, perhaps just root it and continue reading.
Why?
The one advantage that I (a noob) can see, is the language (the void rom is available in PT-BR, but the official FW is available only in PT-PT... =s).
The official FW can allow me to fix the touch bug?
And what is the other advantages? It is really faster? The perfomance is better?
Thanks!

Since you're new in this I'd suggest you to take it easy atm. especially while we have ported gb, official gb, different basebands etc etc you'll get confused. Keep your current stock, root it and try to install recovery. After that you should try flashing some froyo roms or CM or andy's and you see how it goes. Baby steps

There is no touch bug on 2.3.3 stock ROM. Other than that - really, take your time and do some reading. You are asking horribly generic questions.

Hi, fellow brazilian here. I suggest you start by rooting your phone, install recovery then install franco.kernel v18cfs. It will fix the touch bug, speed up ur phone and will give you great battery life. This way youll have a tottaly bug free device.
As others said, wait a little before installing a custom rom. They all have little bugs, enjoy stock froyo for a while and keep reading the forum.

I have read about this Custom ROM! In a poll in this forum, it is winning with a good difference...
Well, can you answer three questions, please? =D
1 - This Custom is really better than Noejn's?
2 - It is available in my language? (PT-BR)
3 - How many points this custom makes in a benchmark?

After flashing recovery, don't forget to make a complete nandroid backup from custom recovery, before you start messing with your phone... So u can always restore your current firmware.

Erm and copy it to pc..

Root, install recovery and do a nandroid backup. Its easier to restore the stock rom using recovery, and safer too.
I can see you are eager to install gb on your device, despite our suggestion to keep your stock rom for a while. Then i suggest you flash mik's cm7, IMO the best rom out there.
Every rom based on cm7 has pt-BR, and in my experience mik's cm7 + franco.kernel + ungaze's data2sd is the fastest combo available.

What rooting i should do?
SuperOneClick or z4root?
And what Custom Recovery? Mik's?
Thanks again!
Please, someone!
XD
ungaze data2sd is script for making some memory of your sd card function as phone memory....so that you can install more apps without moving them all time to sd.....as suggested go step by step....
1.root your phone using gingerbreak.
2.install rom manager from market.
3.install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager.(dunno abt language)
4.reboot into recovery and do a backup of rom.(nand :there is an option in rom manager menu too :"backup rom")
5.flash franco 18.1.
6.flash rom of your choice.(mik /andy/noejn anyone .....better ones from them are on the way)
take your time after each step...dont be in a hurry...and complete this before asking other questions!!
hit thanks if i helped you
Thanks man!
But, one question...

Hi. I have some doubts about this, I wanna try the last rom by nAa, and it ask for a unlock bootloader and nAa Kernel, my quiestion is: After doing that is there any way for getting back to the original kernel, I mean PC companion will work? and restore it like factory?
Thx!
Don't worry, you can flash anytime back to stock kernel, witch is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403808
Thnx, but I meant Mini pro u20...
Btw, if I have a Backup with Minicm7 by paul in cwm with stock kernel, if then I flash Naa kernel, if I restore the backup I had, it comes with the stock kernel??
No. CMW backups the ROM and its data. To revert back to stock kernel you just have to DL a stock kernel file from the site and flash it.
And the bootloader re-lock?
What are the benefits for having an unlocked bootloader, using a rom in stock kernel...
If you're using stock kernel and dont plan on using a custom kernel, there's no benefit.
The whole purpose of unlocking BL is to be able to flash a custom kernel. there are pretty whack custom kernels around which, naturally, are better than stock.
So, what are the benefits of using Custom Kernel?
My x10 mini pro is running paul-xxx's miniCM7pro version 17, and the result I got from S1tool were: SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE (that means I can unlock it right?). My question is can I continue the unlocking process, or do I need to downgrade my phone first to stock firmware?
I'm doing this for my brother so I haven't been much on this sub-forum.
Thanks
I was like you, in the cm7 by paul, I flashed normally with no downgrading....
Just do it...!!

Depends on the kernel you're using. NAa's is the best one out there. Zombie panic is at par with it. Tonnes of features with outstanding speed and stability.
But i guess you're aware of it now
Hi all,
Firstly thanks to all the devs and senior members who ported CM10 mini, and also helped me with all the questions i had. I didnt necessarily have to ask these questions , coz the related threads worked like an FAQ and troubleshooting guide for me.
But now im stuck at a point where i need to ask. After trying CMX mini, though i loved it, i feel i prefer a speedy snappy phone rather than a fully loaded ergo slow phone. So i decided to roll back to GingerDX rom.
The issue im facing is that since ive flashed nAa's JB kernel, i wanna re-flash the nAa GB kernel ( or zombie panic etc). Once i flash any of the older GB kernels ( ive tried a few) the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. I just cannot go into recovery to do a wipe and flash the GingerDX rom.
So my questions are:
Is there any known work around.?
Do i need to roll back to a gb kernel to run Ginger DX or can i stay on JB kernel. Im guessing it shud be GB kernel for a GB rom, but cant find any literature online.
Do i need to do a data wipe before i switch kernels?
Pls help.
Thaks in advance.

yes, do data-wipes, or maybe format the partitions before you flash the gb kernel. GB roms won't work on the JB kernel.

I need a rom with 2.3, ottimized for NO gaming but for save battery who can advise me? Don't need any useless application for example google maps, facebook, voice service etc..
Since you already rooted your phone, use RecoverX to install CWM or xrecovery...

For rom?

There is no point on asking this!
It could end with lots of different opinions, as IAmNice has already said.
But, since you have already installed CWM, practically you can try different roms very quickly. After a few installations you will probably have decided what's best for you.
Then, you could just make a backup and in the future try other roms that appear without the risk to install everything "from the scratch"...
First you should try some, that runs on the stock kernel (if you are not shure what that is, then just avoid ROMs that requires a custom kernel of any kind).
ROMs are the ones in XPERIA X10 Mini Pro Android Development section with title start with [ROM]...
You should focus on Gingerbread ROMs (CM7, 2.3.x). And don't try the ones that requires extra modules if they are not available. Mostly this means "older" ones. But they are often stable and fast and uses less battery :laugh:
Just to set you off on a good start:
SonyStyle - V1.1 FINAL
MiniCM7Pro - V21 (For Stock kernel)
Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 based on MiniCM for MiniPro (v15.0)
xCyanogenPro - Gingerbread - v12
Flame.GDX ICS (2.3.7 nightly) 8/12/2011
Andread 2.2.9 Pro v9f - Andread 2.3.5 Pro v3 only 63Mb
As you start to try different roms and gets used to the process you can then unlock bootloader and install custom kernel <- wait to do this untill you feel ready and have read about other users trouble.
Don't know if it's the best but I recommend MiniCM-2.2.1 (by nAa and D_d). Here.
However now I'm testing MiniCM10-4.0.2... and so far so good.
Go for

Top posts in the Development sections of this forum (OK OK, second top post in the X10MiniPro Dev section)
I'm really enjoying Ginger Sony
i believe that the best rom is ginger sony v5 and not v6 because it has some bugs
There is no such thing.
Closed.
So, I'm a pretty average custom rom user of an x10a.
I've flashed and tweaked out with several gingerbread roms, without any issues.
Recently I found about the newer 4.1.2 roms for the x10 from late December. And I was wondering, 'cause I want to update to one of those, I understand that they're flashed in the same way 2.3 roms are. But, my xRecovery is the 3.0 gingerbread ready version. So I don't know if it will work at all after I've installed one of the Jelly Bean roms.
So I'm kindly asking anybody who knows on the forum if it will still work after I flash to 4.1.2. 'Cause I'm not certain which rom of the two I found is better for me. And I want to test them both out, but of that of course I'd need xRecovery working.
In short I'm just asking for a y/n answer on will xRecovery for the Xperia x10 work after I've installed a 4.1 custom rom, or will I have to go back to stock 2.3.3 and re-root and unlock my bootloader again?
Big thanks to anybody who replies This is the first post I made here, and probably the only one I'll never need.

copy your choice of rom, ics/jb into your sd card. install the appropriate kernel via flashtool. all ics/jb kernels includes CWM so you should have no problem installing these roms granted that you have unlocked bootloader.

Oh, oh, sorry! WOW, I need to focus when reading! I'm really sorry! Thanks for the help good to know. :good:
It can be done, but it depends on which kernel you flash.
Some kernels only contain CWM, while others contain xRecovery and CWM.
But you can always flash a kernel that has xRecovery (Like Doomkernel of ferkernel 3.6), and thus you have xRecovery.

What you must understand is that a Rom comes with some installation scripts. CWM and xRecovery will able or not to understand those scripts.
In order to be able to flash a ICS or JB rom from xRecovery it means that the rom has to been prepared to be flashed thanks to xRecovery.
The Recovery "manager" are provided with the kernels, so there shouldn't be anything to ask about xRecovery or CWM regarding Roms,
just flash the kernel that works with your rom and you'll get the correct recovery to install the ROM from.
The only exception is that on some phone, the CM10 kernel doesn't want to go into recovery before flashing CM10 Rom (happened to me when coming from stock gb), so you have to flash CM9 kernel, install CM10 rom and reflash CM10 kernel.
The question of xRecovery and CWM is more when you try to flash some libraries after the installation of the Rom.
So regarding this question, there's no ICS or JB roms (that I know of) that have a xRecovery scripts.
