Ultra Brightness Used in Custom Roms? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi all,
does anyone know what part of the custom roms allow the superb ultra brighness? Would it be possible to extract and put in a stock 2.1 rom? If so I'd like to try.
That's one of my favourite things in the custom roms...

Do this question at the development thread.
Maybe there they can awnser you more easily

Hi I found how to disable the sensor in sony ericsson phones.
Use Root Explorer and go to /etc
Look for this line a little down the screen: i2c_pwn_als
Simply delete the last bit _als so it should be i2c_pwn
Save and double check that the permissions are:
x x
x
x
Then reboot and screen is brighter!

Start-up : X10 rom on Desire [DISCONTINUED]

This ROM is discontinued.
Hi,
I've tried to port Xperia X10 rom on Desire with AndroidKitchen, and installed it on my phone.
It boots, I can see the SE lockscreen.
What works :
-trackball
-notification LED
-power button
-power off menu (silent mode, airplane mode...)
What doesn't work :
touchscreen (due to lack of multitouch driver, I think)
WiFi (untested, should work with fixed radio)
Bluetooth (untested, should work with fixed radio)
SD Card
Fixed things :
Radio/baseband
After some time, there's a weird noise, and the device reboots.
Many things untested, as I can't unlock screen...
Could a talented dev take the project over, and make that rom working for the Desire please ?
Thanks !
Download link below
UPDATE 24/7 :
Fixed radio. SIM card is read now.
To fix radio :
-flash the latest radio via fastboot (radio.img inside zip) : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
- flash latest RIL via recovery (flashable zip) :
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23_RIL
- Put this build.prop into /system (remove included one first) :
Fixed build.prop

Well I would like to port X10 ROM onto Desire.
It should be the last release by SE, Android 2.1.
There's a lot of problems in that ROM, at least I can see something on screen, and navigate through menus with trackball (only when first config, was unable to unlock screen when it locked)
U will need to replace the files in system/lib/egl folder except the lib_Android.so
To get display to work perfectly
Then libril and libril-qc-1.so for gsm
Many other files
What do u like in that ROM ??;
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I like its interface, Timescape and Mediascape...
Its quite small rom, but really beautiful one.
And also I want to start in ROM porting...
But I'm a newbie in there, and I need some help.
If you can help me, or giving me somewhere to start, it would be great !
thanks for the help you've already given...

Could you give me some help about porting ROMs please ?
Where did you learned ?
Do you know some guides or tuts to start porting ?
Why are you even wanting that ****? I've been stock on the Mini Pro Version Stock rom for a loong time (Yes have been on our Un-Official 2.2 Rom) - But seriously, that is just crap.
X10 Mini Pro is not the same rom than X10.
X10 offers more features...
Fixed radio.

Rom from sdk manager?

When i download for example the new jellybean package in the sdk manager I can run it in my emulator wich means that i got the complete ROM. So my question is how to extract that ROM and flash it. Btw I got a Xperia mini st15i with official ics so can I get jellybean on it?
Hi,
theoretical, yes. But nothing will work. The ROM is optimized for the virtual Android phone and not for the Xperia mini st15i.
This means:
1. The drivers are wrong -> lots of things won't work.
2. It's not optimized for your display size -> widgets won't work until they are resized.
But you can build your own rom with taking this rom and add the sony ericsson stuff. But something still won't work, so you have to modify them.
I hope I could help you,
Hardy
Can you give me a link for a tutorial for optimizing roms. I already googled but didn't find anything.

Some help?

Right, so I'm attempting to port Xperia Sola skin to my Motorola Defy+. (Gingerbread to Gingerbread).
I've got some questions:
1. I've found out that .sin files must be extracted with Xperia ROM manager tool and with unyaffs.exe. The latter app cannot be used, and frankly I've had experience with such console apps.
Is there any other app out there that I'm missing?
Is the source released so that I won't bother with .sin/.img files?
2. I've noticed that some Xperia apps (I've got my hands on the music one) cannot be ported since they have some sort of protection (?) Am I being wrong?... If not, how can I "crack" it?
3. If there are other .apk files such as the topbar file - does it also have any protection?...
Many thanks,
Alex.
EDIT: This source: http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...re/open-source-archive-for-build-6-0-b-3-184/
I've searched through it but didn't found out system/app folder.
Maybe I'm used to Motorolas and speaking a different language?...
heres my first advice

[FAQ][CM10.1/10.2][All Xperia 2011]

Hi people,
I hope this can help those who ask some common questions in all threads or just don't read the OP or the OP hasn't Q&A, so let's start.
Q: How to enable the developer options on CM10.1/10.2?
A: Settings>About phone> click 7 times on Build number.
Q: Where can I find gapps?
A: Here.
Q: The call volume is too low, why?
A: This’s a known issue not only in Xperia phones but in the most 4.1.x & 4.2.x roms on other phones. Anyway, check your baseband. If you are not using the newest, update it here: How to Install JB, ICS or GB on Xperia™ Smartphones, as well as root them.
Or/And: Decreases the volume and increase it during a call.( this tip works for me, I'm using BB.77 but should work with other basebands too).
Q: My camera doesn’t work properly, 720p still has low quality, blablabla… why?
A: Because Sony doesn’t release JB camera libs for Sony Xperia 2011 phones, so you can wait till any developer make some kind of magic or sign this petition: "JB Camera libs for all Sony Xperia 2011 Phones".
Q: Why my Wi-Fi doesn't work?
A: Before reporting that it doesn't work, use the kernel (boot.img) inside the rom (.zip).
Q: How to enable the pie controls & navigation bar?
A: First you need a file explorer, then add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to /system/build.prop & reboot the phone to activate the on screen buttons (Navigation Bar). Then go to Settings>System>Power menu>Expanded desktop & activate it & then you will see pie control in the Settings>System menu.
Q: How to enable lockscreen rotation?
A: First you need a file explorer, then add this line lockscreen.rot_override=true to /system/build.prop & reboot the phone to take effect.
Q: How to disable buttons backlight? (This's only for JB 4.2.2 old releases)
A: First you need a file explorer, then go to /system/etc & edit the hw_config.sh file like that:
# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds
echo 500 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
Change the value to:
# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds
echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
After editing, save the file & restart your phone to take effect.
This new method is for Mike's CM10.1 rom (04/06/2013 & 17/06/2013 builds) or other roms based on his rom:
First download this file & then, using a file explorer, copy the file to /system/etc/init.d & set permission to rwxr-xr-x (0755), then restart your phone to take effect.
Thanks to AndyYan
Q: While flashing a rom I get "status 7" error, how to fix it?
A: This happens because you have probably wiped the system. See here how to fix it.
Q: My compass doesn't work correctly with Google Maps, Google Earth, etc. How to fix it?
A: Try this. First you need a file explorer, then go to /system/etc/sensors.conf. If by default is like that:
#Setup AKM897x axis
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 1,0,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = -1,1,1
Then change the values to:
#Setup AKM897x axis
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = -1,-1,1
Caution: Create a backup of your default sensors.conf file & after editing, restart your phone to take effect.
Thanks to mmhasanovee
Q: How can I help the development of any ROM?
A: Not with, "+1", "FC", "me too", "same bug here", blablabla. These comments are useless.
Q: So, how can I really help?
A: Simple. Remember doing this you're helping the developer & yourself, you're intelligent, so you understand what I'm saying, right!?!
Do that in the right ROM thread:
Phone model:
Baseband version:
ROM version:
Did you?
wipe:
restore with titanium backup:
reboot after having the issue:
Are you using?
a task killer:
the kernel (boot.img) in the zip or other:
Settings/Performance settings (other than default):
What steps will reproduce the problem?
But the most important thing is this: attach a LOGCAT of the problem.
Q: Ok nice, but I’m noob & I don’t know how to LOGCAT, where can I learn?
A: Here, here or stop being lazy & search in XDA forums.

RAM issue
Hi there,
I have SE Neo Mt15i.
I am using this ROM for the last 2 days. No problems at all. Everything is working.
Kernerl from ROM.
Battery - acceptable.
But RAM is awful. In running apps its always jump from 0-50Mb free [email protected]#?
Check the attached screenshots? Why is that?
Thank you.

Hi cyberdejy,
Which rom are you using? I'm using Mike's LX rom & I get 140~170 free ram, I use greenify app too.
Lock screen customization not work well.
Can you give me a description of shell.apk, please?
Hi @mauam. A lot of people are asking about wifi not working on mike's LX ROMs, because they don't flash the kernel included in zip. Can you add this question to your FAQ? Something like Q: "Why is my wifi not working?" A: "Flash the kernel(boot.img) included in zip file"
Thanks
