Xperia X10 Mini Pro Review Custom Rom MiniCM7_V21 by paul-xx - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

i just installed custom rom MiniCM7_V21 on my smartphone Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
This rom is absolutely amazing. Thanks to all those who built this rom but i have some problems in this rom though this rom is amazing in comparision to android 2.1 update-1. Some of tiny things make SE Original Android 2.1 better than this custom rom Some of the problems i felt in using this rom are:
1) Wifi not working properly.
2) No Youtube application and Not working when installed manually.
3) No Google Maps.
4) Although Camera application is better than previous custom roms the Camera application of android 2.1 is far better.
5) Browser wont download smoothly like in SE Original Android 2.1
6) Both Tethering and portable wifi hotspots option doesnt works.
7) Very poor battery life (i.e 4/5 hours standby)
8) And The phone lags frequently.
These are some of the problems i felt in using this custom rom.
I think The Developers of this Custom Roms should keep an eye on above mention problems for upcoming Custom roms. I am not a mobile expert but things would be great if some of the applications are same of SE Android 2.1 like Youtube application, Google Maps, Lattitude and some other application.
I hope you will consider these things while developing upcoming Custom Roms.
But Thankx Very Very Much for this Custom Rom.

To start you should post those problems in the dev rom post if you can so he can be aware. But some of those problems are realy not problems at all. For example.
- problems 2 and 3: are not problems, they are google apps. Wich means you just have to go to the market and download them for free.
- Problem 6: this one is not available in stock room too, since that is a limitation of the current kernel. Dont know if some of the current custom kernels already supports it. So just go check its post

And for Problem 7, have You tried also what's reported in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270112
?
Cheers,
M.

Regarding Problem 7, I think you may need to recalibrate your battery. I am also using v21 and my phone lasts a minimum of 36 hours (max upto 48 hours) of normal usage (2G, Calls, SMS, Music)

I recalibrated the battery and the battery works great and lasts for more than 20 hours of normal usage.
thankx for your suggestion...

Here, i dont have none of this problems. Maybe...
Because i dont tested the hotspot. I dont need.
Wi-fi works fine.
Youtube stock and functional
Battery after calibration is more than great!! Tonight was only 3 percent in 8 hours...

XPERIA x10 mini -some questions-

Today I bought a xperia x10 mini. updated to latest firmware thru pc companion.
But i just can't keep my fingers out of it , this is also my first android phone and i don't have a clue about firmware mods and how to instal.
I would like to update to gingerbread to get the full experience.
How do I do that ? what's the first thing i have to do before making the steps described in this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553 ?
I really don't want to brick it or something like that because I bought it without warranty.
And excuse me for starting a new tread on a subject thats probably answered but my isp speed is rubbish and browsing thru xda is very slow.
Thank you in advance and for all the great work in WinMo , had a lot of fun!
You make sure your firmware is updated to 2.1.1.c.0.0 and your baseband is updated too. Then install CWM recovery ( search for it) then put MiniCM7.zip to sdcard and also gapps. Rename minicm7 to update.zip. Then reboot phone. When the SE logo appears, hit the back buton repeatedly then from the recovery menu, choose install from update.zip and when done, install from custom zip and choose gapps and reboot and yay!
This should be moved to Q&A btw.

Correct. But you missed out one crucial point. ROOT!
After updating firmware/baseband but before installing recovery, download 'SuperOneClick' and root your phone otherwise you'll not be able to install xrecovery/cwm.
Enjoy your phone.
<i>The world will end if I don't have a (Tapatalk) signature.</i>
-Root
-put minicm7 to sdcard (you'd better read the topic requirements)
-install Clockworkmod
-reboot and when you see sony ericsson white logo, press the back button repeatedly till you see cwm menu
-choose update from custom zip or sth like that and choose minicm7.zip
-wait and reboot
There you go!
tnx!
and another thing does gingerbread bring any battery improvements ? speed and other hardware improvements? and also i have read that with gingerbread you can get only vga shooting? is that true ?
In case of camera, lot of things don't work. It's VGA limited, no flash, no autofocus. Also you can't read QR codes due to no autofocus. At least this is what i remember from miniCM7 v.2.0.2. but i guess it's the same, since changelog doesn't mention any improvements or fixes in this area. I wouldn't recommend you the gingerbread right now. Froyo is much more stable & bug-free. I don't know what improvements you are expecting, but the best battery life & performance you can achieve with tweaked factory ROM, since ported drivers in custom ROMs are not exclusively developed. But what custom ROMs lack in performance, they gain in feature-rich code from CyanogenMOD. And miniCM has one hell of a theme too!
after experimenting with diferent versions i decided to stick with official 2.1.1.a.0.6 it's fast , stable and does not suck that much battery. but even so i modded with undervolt , cpu tuner to lower cpu in call and standby , deactivated all ( background data , wi-fi , bt etc ) and still the battery lasts me 1,5 days and i didn't gave it a hard use.
why would you put all of these functions if you cant use them? had a htc diamond and gave it away for the same reason.
is there anything else to do to it ? i was thinking to make a portable charger

Oh man, i also had a HTC Diamond before Mini And to answer your question, my battery lasts for almost exactly 24h, but I use it to full potential: With 3G always on I'm syncing mails, instapaper, RSS & have lots of background apps to alter the UI the way I want. And basically the only thing I do to help battery life apart from what you've already mentioned is that from time to time when I charge phone to 100%, i reboot to recovery & wipe battery data. Then boot to OS & let it completely drain. This always seem to help.
it seems there are some flaws in some aplications.
did a repair with seus , undervolted , setcpu and instaled only known good programs. it now consumes 50% battery with heavy usage a day ( messenger , browsing , background data , brightness to max , music , calls , 3g on ) and with no memory booster or task killer. i suspect awd.launcer it works fine a day or two but after it becomes a bit slow ...
anyway im glad i don't have to sell it no more

It's just one great app! It turns off data traffic when screen goes off, but turns data periodically on for synchronizing mails/twitter/etc. And when you wake up your phone, it takes like a second until the data traffic is on again, so you won't even notice it's been off & it saves a great deal of battery life! And there are more settings...for wifi, or to turn off everything during night etc...

[Q] Best MIUI ROM?

Man, I remember the days before the unlocked bootloader, when one of the best MIUI ROMs was Trip's. Poor dude got banned and all. Anyways, so now, there are like ten different MIUI ROMs on XDA. My question is, which is the best one? I'm talking in terms of stability. I don't play games, I just want a ROM where every default app works. A stable, fast ROM that isn't meant for gaming, but for things like video viewing, messaging and MSN and Skype.
My bootloader is unlocked, so I'm taking suggestions on MIUI ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader (even though most of them do anyway).
Thanks.
I'm currently using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304752
Try it
Trip is at Modaco btw, but his development for x10 is not anymore what was before cause he switched on Sensation.
I feel all the MIUI roms are similar with the same bugs still there. so, you can try anyone of them which is available on XDA. I am using TripnRaver Beta and it is available in modaco forums. Almost everything is working fine including screen on and off animation! So give atry!
Yeah, but this is fully working GB MIUI rom.
Except there is no GTalk on it, but I fixed that too
I'm using Prime Unleashed, Installed it about three days ago, so far I'm liking it, it has working wifi and usb hotspot, barcode scanner, no data bug, the only thing that doesn't work is the built-in screenshot app (you can use any other from the market) and the theme preview app doesn't show a preview of all your themes but you can still use themes... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295089
A1exander's M1U1 1.10.21 V8. The first MIUI I used and no issues yet. The only thing I miss in MIUI is the menu and timescape.
I am using Oodie's Miui,the only thing which hurts is, it consumes RAM very fast becomes laggy after some hours,but just reboot once n all will be fine again!

A little overview on Custom Stable Roms vs Stock 2.1

Helo,
recnetly i have checked few roms and used for some time with stock kernel. I have tried Ginger DX, minicm7 v21. And here what conclution i came to:
Best rom is....stock one 2.1, no matter what features other roms do have still 2.1 is the best.
Why ? here is a lilttle overview what i think minicm7 and most of custom roms have better essential stuff than stock.
Advantages:
New android market
Battery life
New android version 2.3x
Flash Support
Better sound quality on video camera
Disadvantages:
Bad performance
roaming doesnt work properly (in some countries it connects to network in some it does not)
native thetering doesnt work
user interface just looks awful compared to original stock
Photo camera application (picture quality is just bad compared to stock)
Opera browser doesnt work stable
So i just pointed the things whom i think are really essential for a good rom.
Now a little notice about performance...
Dont be fools, do not believe that 2.3 has better performance than Stock.
IT DOES NOT
Only Quadrant scores are higher, but in practise performance is worse!
with same launcher pro and even less icons and widgets on minicm7 the performance is way worse than stock rom. For example if i want to give a call and open contacts i have to wait for a second at least to load contacts application, same with messages unless i kill all the tasks. I dont have this with stock rom. Another notice, if i use lets say Opera browser or Gameboid emulator and then go back to dekstop, widgets and icons always has to be re-drew per new. This doesnt happen on stock. Overal even with killed apps games on 2.3 are running worse then on stock 2.1 (Where is my water? Angry Birds, Gameboid, Snesoid).
So is it really worth to upgrade? I think no it is not worth to upgrade. Unless you die-hard need Flash Support and Video Camera sound. Then yes. For the rest, no i dont think so.

bad performance - sorry but i do tweaks so mine is better than stock
roaming - dont need it
tethering - is there a native tether with stock?
awful interface - maybe but stock is well stock cant be changed
opera browser - mines doing great
I use MiniCM7 Pro V21 (By god Paul) on my phone and I'm just happy, stock user interface is so ugly compared to MiniCM7.
Only think I dont like is the Camera freezes sometimes while recording a video.
A Tribute to Blade Runner
After I discover XDA-developers ....
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe....... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion....... I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate....... All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain...... Time to die......
....Time to back to Stock 2.1......
Sorry, it's only a joke, all opinions are wellcome and very respectables but, after I read your post, this scene of Blade Runner return to my memory.
A little tribute to Bade Runner.....
I think Stock is best rom... No bugs + good performance(i dont think in games )
Sent from my U20i using XDA
Maybe, but on stock rom I can't connect via adhoc connection. I share internet connectio via notebook. And on stock rom it is imposible to connect on that type of wifi connection.
Also, I need ultra brightness, what is also weak point for stock rom.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Yeah stock dont have usb and wifi tethering but in market u can find aps like EastTether or WifiTether.
And stock have best launcher for this device but I think this launhcer needs modification.I dont like this fact Only 1 widget at screen and no icons at screen.
Only corners
Sent from my U20i using XDA
I respect your opinion but I don't agree. Stock from is full of touch bugs, lacks dual touch, native tethering( works now with latest custom gb and ics nAa roms) . Also, we cannot remove some of the bloatware as it is attached to some .apk bundle and we could end in boot loop or even constant force close messages. I forgot to mention that /system has 20 mb only free so laggs are guaranteed... no apps to fat32 option. I tried many times to undervolt my stock roms with apps and .ko files etc. but didn't make it... stock battery life sucks.... gaming experience is cr4p.... I can't remember anything else cause I am on custom built roms many months now.... every opinion is well accepted.

Custom > Stock.
Only if you understand well how the phone works and how to set the phone's settings and features to it's minimum or maximum performance. And also, if you managed to tweak the phone to it's best performance.
Else, Stock is the best and only option for you.
Also @ OP, those disadvantages you pointed out, on the latest stable custom ROMS out there, all of it works fine now. Except ICS, still has work to be done with that version.

Stock is nice but i think the custom rom's have more advantages that cover its disadvantages.
As for me the only disadvantage in custom rom's would be the hopeless battery life.

not really i believe you can use governors in custom roms but not in stock rom. thats why i have custom rom so i can use governors and apps to sd
Prefer custom
I've been using custom Roms for a very long time, now.
I must say that, even though custom roms have some bugs, stock rom has some bugs also. And it lacks some features, which I consider essential.
The most important is the ability of saving apps in SD card. I know (and I've used it) there's link2SD, but I needed to root my device as well. Link2SD was very unstable.
Stock lacks flash and some apps won't run under 2.1.
Battery life? The same.
Stock apps? Great looks, I'll give them that. But some are very basic.
I needed to install some apps that come with custom roms. I prefer to install custom rom.
The main app, to me, is phone/contacts. Stock app is lame.
Will stick to cm7-2.2.0, for now.
Sorry to disagree in every point. I have a x10 mini (not pro).
I couldn't find a single advantage on the stock rom over the custom miniCM7 (2.2.1).
The stock 2.1 rom feels like a slower CPU and GPU, it's sluggish and lags to the touch. I think the interface is OK, with the corner shortcuts and the bigger icons. It was well designed, but I always end up unintentionally arrainging icons in the menus and the corner shortcuts because of the lag. Applications are painfully slow, including the dialer. As a windows computer: when I fresh install (factory reset) the mini, it's fairly responsive, but as soon as I install half a dozen apps it gets sluggish again.
Bad performance?
-no, much better responsiveness and performance with miniCM7 even with lots of apps installed.
roaming doesnt work properly (in some countries it connects to network in some it does not)
-This one I can't tell
native thetering doesnt work
-stock has none.
user interface just looks awful compared to original stock
-matter of taste maybe. I like the new UI better all the way.
Photo camera application (picture quality is just bad compared to stock)
-Maybe in older versions? this one works better, and now I can have instagram.
Opera browser doesnt work stable
-It works fine here.
I am a little dazzled because, in my x10 mini, things are about opposite. Everything is just smoother with the new rom, and the old rom fails me exactly in the way the new rom fails to you: it's unresponsive, slow, annoying, glitchy. Maybe it's just personal taste, or something is different between our phones.

Xperia Go Stock JB battery drains fast....!!!

Hello!
I know its a common problem for everyone. But I think my problem is quite a bit more. It drains fast even if I don't use my phone. One thing is my 3G is on 24/7. But I saw people with some other roms who open the data traffic for 24/7, bt still get 1.5 days service from battery.
My Xperia Go really drains so fast.I uploaded some screenshots. The first two photos, i uploaded the app use right after charging my mobile & in the next pair of photos are next mornings'. In between i just make a call for 10 min. Nothing else. Now say what should I do?
btw, i found just non-system apps like facebook,messenger & whatsapp which might drain some extra battery. Otherwise I have no other major apps non-system apps. I JUST WANT TO RUN MY XPERIA GO FOR AT LEAST ONE DAY WITH A FULL CHARGE
My Phone: Xperia Go rooted with doomlord kit version 14
Build number: 6.2.A.1.100
Kernel version: 3.0.8+ (I think its the stock kernel)
My pc operating system: Windows 8
Is there any better rom for me with pretty much less bugs?
Note: Give me an option without unlocking the bootloader plz
Well u should downgrade to gingerbread to see if it the battery problem or software problem

Thanks friend. But I would like stuck with any rom of JB. So if u may help me about that, I will be very happy ^_^
I tried BeAnZ/Google™ BeAnZ Lite 2014/01/01 and my battery life has improved considerably. But again I never had this bad battery. Maybe its a hardware issue ?
Battery drains super fast
Hi Guys even i have flashed with Doomlord for SU access and I am also seeing the same issue..
Hi Pias94....!!
Do u still have the problem or did u find a solution for the battery drain
Did u try the new ROM that was suggested. Please Help ASAP

I did follow some steps:
Step 1:
1. First You go Settings--->APPS--->All Tab---->ECO Mode Controller/ Extended battery mode (Click Clear Data and Force Stop)
2. Then Again you Go Settings--->APPS--->All Tab---Setting.apk (Click Clear Data and Force Stop)
3. Charge Your Mobile 4 to 5Hours
4. After 4-5 Hours While Charging That Time You Click Vol Up+Power Button( after 3 times Vibrate)
5. Remove Your Charger and Again Plugin Your Mobile The Sony Logo With Comes And Charging Logo has been Shown
6. Then Power On Your Mobile While Charging
7. Then Go Setting--->Power Management TURN ON BATTERY STAMINA MODE.
8. Then see the battery state.
Step 2:
As ur phone is rooted like me, install Greenify app & add those app works in background even if u don't use the phone. May be Greenify will stop them.
Step 3:
In power mangement, press the stamina mode & exactly add apps like which u did in grennify. In my case Facebook, Facebook Messneger & Whatsapp were the most dangerous app. So i added those.
Step 4:
Use app2sd card software & transfer app from phone memory to sd card. It mau help a liitle.
after these steps i get some little improvement
Note: There's always some bug in other roms. That's why i didn't install any
hey thanks for replying ...
I was using ALL THE PROCEDURES THAT U ALREADY MENTIONED...
BUT I THINK ITS A BATTERY ISSUE...I HAVE BEEN USING IT SINCE ONE AND HALF YEAR OR SO..
EVEN SOME BATTERY APPS SHOW THAT IT CAN SAVE ONLY BATTERY WHICH LONGS FOR 1HR OR SO WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE FOR A 5 HR TALK TIME
U CAN USE " No Bloat Free" to disable system apps if u dont want to use...:cyclops:
I am gonna replace the battery i guess..
Sony ericsson is not providing a battery replacement , they are asking for warranty and all which is expired in my case..
Anyways Thank YOu..
Well try factory format its work for me
also always charge your fon atleast more than 55%

I'm having trouble with the same phone but different rom. I'm running CM11 on my GO and battery lasts about 7-8 hours. This is with some maps usage, 10 minute calls, 10 viber messages and some surfing using Firefox. I've greenified everything including Viber & Whatsapp. I also got Juicedefender turning 3g off when screen is off and turning it on briefly every 15 minutes. Clean master is also running in the background because I have to keep clearing ram.
Edit: oh, and I got No frills cpu control set to 200/800mhz Interactive/Noop
Going back to stock rom might help but then Viber "effs" things up and dialer starts lagging.
Any other tips? This piece of crap phone has been nothing but trouble since the beginning.

It's the screen that drains most of it, how long has it been on?
And it is weird because it doesn't show to be awake when screen is on which usually is the other way (awake with screen off).
Check CM thread to see if it's a known/fixed bug.
I updated to the latest CM11 and things are a bit better now... I'm getting about one days use. Which still isn't much considering most of the apps are greenified. Anyway.....
edit: and I've tried to keep the screen brightness at constant ~25-30%.

Which ROM do You use?

Hello everyone,
I decided to create this topic, to clarify things for newer people, or just look at others preferences and opinions for others.
Tell everyone what ROM/Kernel do you use and why? Why it fits you the most? What makes you to use your certain combination?
Is it eXistenZ, is it PureX or Pheonix or even AOSP? Tell us!
i use the stock ROM debloated with multirom installed.
(CM12.1 is installed as secondarh rom)
i use stock because of its stability and features and i use CM as a second ROM because it acts as my utility OS, i use it as a management tool for my network

Thanks for your answer.
What do you mean by "management tool for my network" . I mean I understand the sentence, but can you explain more?
And by the way, your stock ROM is rooted and debloated by some scripts or just with titanium backup etc. Do you use greenify, xposed and so on?

I use CM as a Management tool because it allows me to do more things with less issues over stock
i run ubuntu 15.04 with the Kali Linux toolbox installed and as well as that its easier to use CM as i have modified my CM rom to not have anything except for the things i use
as for the stock rom i have removed any useless bloat apps and i have xposed installed with a few xposed addons to make using the device eaiser (i used a flashable zip to debloat which can be found in the cross development section)
for example i have no screenshot delay, mobile radio fix, youtube background play and a couple of other minor tweaks from xposed installed

I use Pure X v8.The rom is full debloated with some mods and he works fine.V9 is much modded but has huge battery drain.
When I am only on wifi I get up to full 48 hours with 6 and half Sot with sinhronisation,location,auto brightness,3g network only and some listening of music and voice calls.

What mods do you use? Do you use greenify, amplify? What do you think about installing v10?
I use miui on kitkat.
To make a perfect screen off time I had to freeze the gallery app and I'm using power nap + ds battery saver.
That's the reason I stick to kitkat, because it has awesome battery life (in standby mode) + miui doesn't get so leggy after some time as stock kitkat.

May i ask if it's normal that i get less than 4 hours SoT time with my xperia Z2?? i'm full stock in everything since i am little afraid to root.
That happens while i have always STAMINA mode ON with few apps active(Viber,What's up, NO FB MESSENGER, etc), sync on, brightness always less than 50%, and always wifi or 4G on. Also how much battery draining is caused from games??
Any advices?

I literally have no clue
Most of my SOT is due the fact that i really dont have that many apps on my phone
I also turn off some cpu cores and even limit my gpu but the screenshots from below are with my system not limited

Hmmm then you suggest not to have useful apps and some games in that beast of mobile phones?? Hmm it's strange.. Will try the device
as soon as it comes back from service and see what's going on just with few apps. Of course with no root.
I've always stuck with Sony stock rom, rooted and debloated in the past. But recently I've tried existenz 4.5.2 and absolutely love it. It's fixed some of Sony's stock rom bugs, plus plenty of additions and goodies. It really is an amazing rom. Haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
I return from Pure X to stock latest and everything is perfect.I dont use even greenefy or titanium etc.
I just must to always have rooted rom cause after install I always must flash restore drm keys file,cause I unlock bootloader.
I have now 19h 13 min uptime with 4h 43 min screen on time and still left 46 percent.
Lollipop or kitkat?
Kitkat stock or kitkat miui?
Opinions, pros and cons?!

Cool. I have to charge every night.
Do you use Stock or Custom Kernel(because you have BLU)?
