Hi,
I have a little issue with the xperia calendar.
I can't find a way to show my different calendars (I sync 3 of them, all google calendars) in different colours in the xperia calendar app. Even more annoying, they're all shown as pink.
Does anyone here have an idea how I can just use the calendar colours themselves? (ok so I installed Simple Calendar widget and it shows the colours allright, but if you click on it you end up in the standard calendar and there the colours are gone)
This is a confirmed bug that is said to be fixed in the next firmware update (2.3.4).

Cool, thanks. Care to share where you found a 'confirmed bug' list? Looks like I have some reading to do...
Sorry,
Don't have a 'confirmed bug list'. Got the information from Xperia support when talking to them on the phone some month ago.
Since then, I've been seeing the same problem discussed in this thread on the SE forum http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/20745

silly buggers.
Since it has still not been fixed, I replaced the sony calendar by the standard one.
It has been easier than expected.
* I took /system/app/Calendar.apk from the FreeXperia rom for my Ray (just downloaded the image and unzipped it)
* I removed SemcCalendar.apk from /system/app on my phone
* I copied the Calendar.apk from the FreeXperia image to my phone in /system/app and adapted its rights to match the ones of the other apps
it worked with no issue.
I tried first to replace the corresponding provider for the calendar but it broke the whole thing. Keeping the one from Sony works.
I have a Xperia Ray with 4.1.A.0.562, you will need to be rooted and to remount the filesystem to be able to write in /system/
No garanties !
Please backup the files you remove from /system/app before removing them in case of issue.

After rooting my X10, i'm wondering how far you can go in deleting system apps.
I deleted the following without negative problems for the android system and x10 device:
- Moxier
- Chinese keyboard
- Korean keyboard
- user manual
Is it safe to delete timescape, the standard message app, digital clock, playnow and dialer? Anybody done this before?
Thanks in advance!
if can i wanna get rid of the original lock screen
i rather hav lock 2.0 install
There is already a thread on this. It can be found here:

I use titanium and blocked instead of removing some things for testing which apps progs or whatever are effected, but need some time to find out ;-)

i think so.
After uninstalling mediascape, for some weird reason my contact pictures resolution got lower.
hmm no, uninstalling mediascape doesn't seem like a good plan.
Did somebody uninstall the standard message app?

That doesn't seem to remove the lock after phone call.
I've deleted Timescape. Now I can't open my contacts anymore. So not a good idea
timescape removal
Won't be able to view contact details
can b set aside if you don't mind using phonebook replacements such as acontacts, quickcall or takephone (i think that's the name)
Mediascape removal
wont be able to change wallpapers but can still be done by using a third party app!
may have problems with receiving/attaching mms!
You'd require another app for music such as mixzing and another for pictures such as justpictures! (which I would pick over mediascape any day)
there's prob few more errors out there which I don't know about.
Id recommend getting titanium backup full version, the freeze/defrost option works wonders. its like uninstalling an app without actually uninstalling it.. Freeze the apps you want n if you get errors u just defrost the app n all should be back to normal!!
you can get rid of all the keyboards n stick to ya own.. default se 1 is SEMCime 1.0
(heads up, if you remove all default keyboards n have to factory data reset, ul have no keyboards to start off like me.. theres prob a solution but I had to reroot lol, also if you remove default launcher, in this event timescape would b your default launcher)
you can get rid of timescape themes, provider n plugin n just leave timescape, n everything should stil work as normal, no errors!! (that's if you don't use timescape like me)
You can remove
Digital clock
Playnow
Trackid
Userguide 1.0
Browser 1.6 (if you have an alternative)
Email 1.6 (i don't use it.. gmail will still b there though)
Home 1.6 (i used adw instead)
Voice dialer
User support 1.1.4
Drm protected content storage
Software update (if you don't plan on using it, same goes for the 1 below)
Com.sonyericsson.android.pccompanioninstaller
Com.sonyericsson.android.cdinfoaccess
Alarm clock (can use alternative! may possibly receive odd errors here and there)
I've removed the default messaging app before n used chompsms instead but I got like message delays, sometimes no messages at al so I don't realy touch it.. could possibly have been cause of another app cause I weren't paying too much attention in them days!
if the user who mentioned it earlier still has no problems then you can give it a try.. upto you! I might actually try freezin it n c what happens!
avoid the google stuff, its prob somehow linked to market.. you may have problems downloading from market there after!
Well sorry for the long essay guys.. hope it helps!!

Thank you very much for you comment Mobzter! That was what I was looking for .
I deleted the standard message app (i'm using handcent sms) and didn't receive any errors so far. I think i'll leave timescape for what it is, since it is so deeply rooted in all SE software and the x10 system.
I uninstalled the default Messaging app but facing some problems now. Using Titanium backup, I backup-ed the app before uninstalling but I cannot find the app now! Anyone can tell me what's the name of the Messaging app apk?
The thing with titanium backup is that no matter if you back it up or not you cannot restore the stock apps (default ones)
You can maybe try an alternative app such as chompsms/handcent altho didn't really work out for me
OR
you can try instal the default app
http://db.tt/JlnKmQ
If it doesn't work then you maybe required to push it to system.. don't have the code on me at mo but im sure someone will provide it, if that's the case!
Hope it helps!!

Possible Timescape fix
Now earlier i was looking through my phone with root explorer and i came across the timescape folder, now in there was a file that i THINK linked time scape to the phonebook etc, the code is below. Now, im not an experienced coder, but if we delete the part between the two <map> identifiers and overwrite the original with this one, its either going to screw up your phone or stop timescape being linked to the phonebook or do nothing
Let me know what you guys think before i try anything, is it worth testing out?
<map>
<string name="shortcut01">com.sonyericsson.android.mediascape.activity.MceActivity</string>

Messaging app.
I have frozen default message app with Titanium backup and I was unable to send and receive MMS (using Handcent). So, I dont recommend to uninstall it.
Do we have a list of apps that are safe to uninstall from the 2.1 after we've applied root?
I removed:
# All Moxier-Apps
# a few Keyboards
but i guess you can remove time- & media-scape as well.
Have removed Moxier and the crappy games and also a few keyboards!
Was wondering what else was safe to delete, free up some space and services
Can anyone upload a copy of the Messaging app? I deleted it and have no idea how to bring it back...

I'd leave Timescape, it screwed stuff up in 1.6 so would imagine it will in 2.1. just use your common sense when deleting stuff, or get Titanium Backup and freeze apps to see what effects if any it has.

Mediascape&Timescape I left alone.
Mediascape can be useful from time to time and Timescape *is* essential.
I likely removed a couple more system things, but I can't remember off the top of my head. Phone works perfectly though.
well i frooze timescape first and found no problems. so i removed the whole thing. and i cant see any problems yet? does anyone know what programs depend on timescape - so i can check for problems? x

Thanks for confirming.
I'm getting "RM **** Failed - Read Only file system".
I've rotted my x10 with the root method in this forum (the one that loops constantly).
What am I doing wrong?
First I would like to thank nAa for the great work. I wanted to post to the thread for MiniCM7 but i cant. (I a newbie in the forums and a n00b)
Problems:
Had issues with restoring apps. Sound was disabled (actually forced closed) after restoring apps with titanium back up. Fixed by just installing the apps without system settings.
Battery drains. ~5% per hour (haven't calibrated yet, will try later)
As I go to about the thread there are numerous problems with KB lights and WiFi but haven't encountered those. For the camera i will test it as well.
Suggestion/Request:
Can you add a note pad app? (Ill check in market if there is an app for that* [ I'm just using prepaid sim so i don't have the luxury of going online all the time ])
Regarding Contacts is it possible to make a group?
With Messaging is it also possible to tap into contacts so you can add more contacts easily. (I know there are apps for that but i want my phone to be clean and no conflicts with the existing messaging app)
Again thanks a bunch! And I hope I can reach ten post so i can go to the thread and add more inputs.
*Isn't that an IPhone tag line?
OT: Thanks XDA and more power.
OT2: Sorry for my English.

thats one of the downsides to this ROM, i found that i cant multi select the contacts i wanna send text to, you will have to type each persons name individually and then select them.
i been using nAa ROM and kernel for 1 week now
So after a few days of tinkering with my toy. here's what i have.
*battery drains - never got fixed even tried undevolt. have to charge my phone twice a day. calibration seem to have no effect at all.
*KB lights - no issues since first porting
*wifi - little buggy but i just forget the network then log back to the network and it works.
*camera - no trouble just like KB lights
*note pad - i just use my drafts for it no trouble really.
*groups and contacts to messaging - just used go launcher for the mean time
Hi
About battery with smart tass v2, it improve my battery. I ussually go to application - debugging. And unmark "ubication paralels"
about Camara try youtube setting in video, it is less buggy.
About keyboard in x10 mini pro go to CYD setting - screen - automatic light screen - edit others levels... in keyboard write 155 135 85 50 0. Test in a dark room
About wifi, I think the problem is hardware always I have the same problem.
about notepad... what?? Use virtualrecord to record your notes is faster I think.
(ssorry about comand my phone is in spanish the translation is bad)
thanks luisecp for the suggestions.
about my battery i give up on it and just live with it.
as mentioned i have no trouble with my cam and the KB lights
WiFi well i have my fix and that is never to install the settings
is virtual record a voice recorder? i somehow want a visual not a voice one.
thanks again.
Update: I can seem to send or retrieve any mms if i don't enable data traffic which was not the case with the stock version. correct me if I'm wrong but i beleive when you send or retrieve mms the data is automatically enable and disabled after sending or retrieving.

Yes you can, kernel does not depend on the previous versions, when you flash a kernel it completely overwrites the previous version.
I've just flashed yesterday from miniCM7.2.17 nAa08 to miniCM7.2.18 nAa10.
I've found that minicm7.2.17 with nAa10 is a bit buggy and slow, so i guess if you flash the new kernel you should flash the new minicm7 as well.

Hi all and thank you for your amazing work.
I couldn't report this issue in the development forum because I don't own required privileges - even though I'm following this forum since quite long time, I've never actually had the chance to post since everything is always already here
Anyway, I just wanted to report a minor bug that apparently nobody reported - or at least that I haven't spot - on top of the rest (such as FM, illumination bar, low audio, etc): when searching for a contact (People App) the filter just reset at any action so that it is not possible to use the search function.
I'm using Sony Xperia ST25 - U (kumquat, last 202 release), fresh install after unlocking and flashing boot.img contained into FXP202-cm-9-20130111-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat.zip. I also flashed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip (which is doing nothing) and disable.zip (at least I'm saving a bit of battery in the meantime)
Strange issue, I have no problem with the search function, it works well. I have the same configuration of you except for disable.zip (instead I flashed the patch for illumination bar) :/

Hey, Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is unlocked, then copy the .zip file in the internal memory again and try flashing it again. Locked bootloaders can bring some problems.

I read that KitKat on Sony brought enhancements to Sony's stock email client.
Can anyone confirm if, using exchange, emails that get pushed directly to folders will trigger a notification yet? This was a big flaw in the past that none of the other manufacturers had and a main reason I didn't stick with the Z1.
At work, I have about 45 folders. Most emails I get automatically go to their pre-designated folders via Exchange rules. With Sony, I'd never get notification of a new email not going to the inbox, thus making the phone useless for me.
Any insight would be of great value!
Im quite sure it does, i have all of my folders from my gmail account
I dont know if the emails will show up like they are supose to with "pre-designation"

Dont think it does and most of the inbuilt clients doesnt support notifications to folders (that are setup by MS Exchange rules). Hence I resorted to using TouchDown or Moxier Mail. Both supports this and works really good!
