guys, i had CM7proV21 rom in my mini pro, but i had problems and i used seus to be back to SE original rom with android 2.1...
everything is fine, but i can´t use the camera, it can´t record videos and the still images get errors with strange issues... so in video, it stops and can´t record. Almost on .21 or .40 seconds... and so, tels there is no space as my SDCARD is 16G!!!!
i tried to root the phone again and resintall V20 from the custom ROM, but i can´t get xRecovery to work...
don´t know what to do anymore... help
You should try to use CWM instead of xRec as it's widely used by any of these ROMs, and if I'm not wrong, MiniCMPro (as any other ROM would do) used CWM since V6/V7...
To fix these problems you can try to do a factory reset in CWM and clean dalvik or reinstall MiniCMPro, do a factory reset (in ROM and CWM, wipe everything (cache, dalvik) and then using SEUS to restore the original ROM, or maybe use pfonck's '2.1.1.Clean.0.0' ROM instead
Good luck!

Hi, azhhael !!
1: I had almost same video problems on MiniCM7pro V21 (you said CM7proV21 ??) as yours before.
So I did reinstalled, then it problems to solved.
2: Did you read post of everything on the thread of [ROM]MiniCM7Pro - V21 + Lite Versions by Paul-xxx again ?
There are so many good hint for you. So you should to read [who given important hint] by your self, I think...
3: You said [resintall V20 from the custom ROM (?)], is that meaning [already to installed MiniCM7Pro V20]
You said [i can´t get xRecovery to work], but maybe you must have Cwm recovery v3.2.0.0 r4 or later.
If you don't have any [ClockWorkMod (CWM)], I think [link of following] is most easy way to enable CWM.
Try it !!
[RECOVERY] ClockWorkMod Installer - Windows v4 - Linux v4
Thx to Paul-xxx and rect2409
pls: I love custom rom of Paul-xxx too and I think a he is artist of genius.
So sometimes hard to enable. But when overcome the problems, can got another awesome world.
By the way....I'm very sad about he lost the his u20i...
Sorry about my very bad English.

OK i know ur worried abt ur phone... but dude.... this is the DEV forum!! ur question should be in the QnA Forum!!!!
having said that, i dont understand what u want...
do u want stock rom on ur phone??(if so use SEUS)
do u want video recording to work for longer time??(if so clear ur micro SD card as u said it's full)
do u want minicm pro to work correctly?? (if so then wipe data in CWM recovery and then install miniCMpro's latest zip)
He already used SEUS, but his camera isn't working. You got it wrong.
About your problem, try reinstall SEUS and use it again (I haven't found the update files). Maybe the Android got corrupted in the download.
Sorry for english, btw

You're welcome !!
However, you still can't problem solving and now + call problems detected...
Huuu... I can understand your feeling.
But please don't be give it up, you should be help your device !!
If I having fee time, I want try to reinstall MiniCM7Pro v21 on my device for the check but I don't have much time at now.
If you had only video recording problem, relatively easy to understand.
But now you had also phone call problems, maybe it is not MiniCM7Pro v21's problem I think..
So let's one more try:
SEUS (download & Install) again -> Flash SE latest firmware -> Root -> Install CWM -> Download & Install MiniCM7Pro v21 again
And Let's write on the note about what do you do at each steps every time for make recipe of Install custom roms
When you got good result, it recipe will can help another people in here !!

2) That's why, Preferably the original asker should clarify his questions
If SEUS downloads the entire rom, only then will it proceed to install it on your phone. otherwise installation wont even start.. seems like a problem with your SD card buddy...
SD CARD?
OH!!!!!!!! Can the Sd Card cause so much problems in the ROM installation? I though the ROM should be installed in the internal memory!!!! That´s really make sense... cause i got real problems after change my SDCARD from 4G to 16G one!
May i be back to 4G?
Mini Pro can´t support 16G CARD???
Yesterday i did:
1 - factory reset > wipe cache > wipe dalvik cache
2 - using CWM installed MiniCM7Pro v21
3 - though was strange as paul say in his page:
- Root (OK)
- CWM 4 (x)
- For CWM 3 Read Here (OK)
- Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware (OK!)
- Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 (OK!)
I followed all the instructions for user with CWM 3, so after the first ROM installation the CWm should be modified to 4, but it didn´t happened. May it has caused all the problems?????? (vídeo, callings didn´t complete, and NO APP could work!!! I installed but just got erros and erros forcing to close the apps)
How can i make sure CWM4 is installed???? Is there no manual installation for this version!?
4 - ok... ignoring the version of CWM V21 was installed and i got this erros:
- video freezes
- camera with artifacts in images causing serious deffects and making it unusable
- no calling completing
- error installing some app from market and when i could install no one of them could open, just got force closing erros making me uninstall the app (neither Titanium backup could work!)
- didn´t test more, cause i was so frustrated i gave up
5 - today i did all again
factory reset > wipe ALL again
used SEUS to reinstall (repair) the SE last ROM
- calling it´s ok
- didn´t test app installing from market yet (i´ll post here as soon as i do it)
- camera can take pictures, but video still freezes near 40 seconds recording
is all this cause of the SDCARD??????
OMG so... i´ll have to be back to my old 4G CARD?
BUAAAAAAAAAA
Hello again azhhael
Woooooow !!
Your report is really perfects
I can understanding the sequence of your events to easily.
But.......................Why can't you solved ?
Maybe SD card caused ?
If you can, try back to 4 gb and install MiniCM7pro again.
Then if without problem and work will be fine, give me a your 16 gb
However, can you see the inside of sdcard via MiniCM7pro ?
Because Video recording (40 second) data saving to where ? To phone memory ?
>> camera can take pictures, but video still freezes near 40 seconds recording
40 second use how many mega byte ?
Maybe sdcard cause call memory cause then meltdown...
I'm sorry today was don't sleep all night, so now I'm stupid already.
I go sleep now
After wake up I thinking again.
By the way if you tried something and got any result, please posting here !!
Hello Echo... hope u have rest time this night.
I'll report again what is happening now.
After all i told before in the last post, i came back to SE ROM and got this:
USING 16G SDCARD
- calling it's ok
- camera take pics but when i try to visualize it in the gallery i just get artifacts
- video freezes and the mobile STOPS! (i could see that files from camera r in SDCARD in the DCIM folder... as i think it should be...)
- app didn[t work sfter install and some others neither got installed
CHANGED TO THE OLD 4G SDCARD
- calling it's ok
- camera take pics
- video it's ok
- app are all ok
so... eliminating all i believe the problem is the card... is it right? Mini pro can't support 16G SDCARD? No way! I bought 4 of these ones!
I believe that if i install v21 now it will work fine, but before i try to install v21 again i[ll one more test, i will format another 16G card, i'll create ext2 and fat32 partitions (as my 4G is) so i'll try to use it instead of the 4G card. If it works fine, may be a card problem to access the data... at least that's what i think so now...
so, after find the answer for this question i'll be back to v21, hope it's fully working... hehehehe no issues...
tomorrow i'll test it all and so i'll post here, maybe as u tell me i can help another one with my problems described here
Hey. Don't go sleep yet. I have the same problems as you, but with diferrent card sizes. My 2 Gb Sd Card that came with the phone was too small for me, and I bought a 4 Gb (I don't need that much, but 2 Gb + helped).
I was using the Sd Card ultil I had the bad idea to fix my Mp3 tags (album art, in fact). When I have done that, I put my musics in my SD and music started to have some bugs (I can't describle it).
I could live with that. But all my photos started to corrupt and photos taken started to get cut (50 to 90 per cent was a grey, and the rest blur).
Came back to My 2 Gb Card, everything worked fine.
About 4 weeks later I, don't know why, had the idea to test again my 4 Gb Card. It worked fine. But I had forgot why the Card was corrupted, and had the brilliant idea to fix Mp3 Tags again. -.- My mistake. Card got corrupted again. Now I have all the problems I listed above, and .apk files have Problems Parsing the Package.
And I can't go back to 2 Gb card because I have lots os apps on SD and about 20 more musics.
(OMG, never wrote a text like this in this forum).

All my problems was with stock ROM. The problem with the music was that, let's say, music 1 is playing, and sudenly, some random point of music 2 starts playing for, like 2 to 3 seconds, and goes back to normal. It did happen 2 to 10 times, depending on the file.
Now, with Mini CM7 Pro the problem is lightly different. it don't play stretchs of the music, it just jumps to another music.
The problems with another types of files are the same.
When I got this problem, I was trying to install Gin.Tonic ROM, and the recovery was saying there was a problem with the package. I tought it was a recovery problem, used SEUS to reinstall Android. Root, xRecovery, CWM Recovery, the problem persisted. After 2 to 3 months later (about 3 weeks ago, I realized the problem was with the SD Card.
Now everything I install, apps, morphs, and Backups I use my 2 GB SD card.
And you are from Japan, that nice. I want to go there one day, but I have ZERO knowlege on Japanese. Want to go just because I played The World Ends with You, in my Nintendo DS, and loved the Shibuya district of Toquio.

Did you tried CyanoCream Sandwich V2.0 yet ??
Because, now king (Paul) is not home, so develop in under a break.
But develop of CyanoCream Sandwich V2.0 is now still working, so need more tester in there .....But its only my feel
Pls:
Yea, I'm Japanese but I'm living in Hochiminh city of Vietnam and about 5 years I never go back to my country.
Hahaha... No one can control real own future like a god, so life is wonderful !! Don't you think so ?
I was born in Tokyo and kindergarten to elementary school was in Shibuya.
But there are so many people like ants and traffic congestion of car everyday !!
Thx Felimenta97 !! I'm happy to talk with you.
Btw, my friend living in São Paulo city and she is 3rd generation of Japanese. She is soooooo cute
I live in Ribeirão Preto, about 300 Km from São Paulo. I will go for Japan but in a long future (I am only 14 years old and my parent's money, compared to some of my classmates, and American and japaneses in general, is lower. My wishes are to go to Orlando (Universal Studios), then New York and then Shibuya. I am freaking out to see Hachiko (I wrote it right?)!!!
Yeah, it's nice to talk to you too. Have Facebook? Search for ''[email protected]''.
Back to the topic, I tested the version based on Mini CM7 Pro, the latest is based on Flame.E. I am already placed in this ROM, besides some bugs. I think it's because it's the semi official CM7, and accept a lot more tweaks and morphs and etc.
Sent using Mini CM7 Pro by Paul
If you not rooted your phone now, just report it to SE. If you rooted and unlocked bootloader, reflash using SEUS back to 2.1 and lock bootloader
We already solved the problem. It was with the SD Card..

i installed the new update(fresh install) and root,xrecovery are working properly. then i installed app2sd(i have ext2 partition) i got installed but still apps are getiing installed in internal memory only. Titanium backup shows the sd ext2 partition but its not working. there is system/sd/apps folder but no apps in there. only few apps in appback folder which were installed before enabling app2sd.
does anybody have any solution?
Could this be the reason to why my phone now is nearly dead. I had app2sd installed before i made the update a couple of hours ago. I havent started up since then, it is in a loop with the first screen Sony Ericsson, then the color splash and then the logo together with the text Sony Ericsson... over and over. I have tried to soft reset, have tried to connect to SEUS but nothing seems to work.

I have now made the flashing and everything seemed to turn out fine. Flashtool behaved just as in tutorial.
I unplug and power on and what happens?
Same loop as before the flashing... like this:
Start up with Sony Ericsson, then color splash and finally the logo screen, and then it goes on same way over and over...
BUT
15 minutes later i tried to flash once more, this time i did NOT add the dualtouch in the bundle and this time it worked out fine!! Now only the hard work to get the phone like it was before this happened...
Once again, thank you ^Shader^

My advice is to keep trying.. if SEUS aint working then Flashtool is your best chance.. it might take a few tries.. double check the .sin files are in the right place (Firmware file in flashtool) make sure you have the right firmware for your device and keep trying..
also.. if its a mini Pro then take the battery out for a few seconds.. if its a mini then press the power and center button at the same time for a reset.. try and try again!!
I guess keep trying is my main point.. you will get it eventually (then reformat your apps2SD partition and use Link2SD instead
Kiwi
edit....
(if your still having problems with flashtool after multiple attempts pm me and I can send you the original (non GUI) version of flashtool when I get home from work, perhaps it might work better) I have never had a problem with the old version, just copy the .sin files to the firmware folder open the flashtool app and follow the instructions (making sure you select wipe USER data when prompted)

you tried to add dual touch?? looking at the instructions in the link you followed I am not surprised you got a bit confused.. that tutorial was only for big X10.. which is why it mentioned Dual touch.. if I had knowen I would have just pointed you to easier mini instructions.

Yes, i got very confused when it didn't work when i added dual touch, but no problems as i sorted it out and made a new try without it.
Now my mini works better than ever. But it took a lot of sweat before i got it back to the way i want it.
i have the updated my mini pro to the latest build and installed app2sd / dc2sd .. seems to work without any problem.
Is this update newer than 2.0.2.A.0.24 ?
And what's new in 2.1.1.A.0.6 update?
Any improvement?
@ donetus, Are you using the existing rooting method or some patching is required to do the rooting after the new update?
App2sd Whit Ext3 Works Fine on my X10 Mini whit .06 Compilation
I must admit, I am a complete noob when it comes both to linux, android and smartphones. I know a great deal about computers, but only recently bought the X10 mini pro, since it wasn't that expensive and I wanted a qwerty-keyboard.
Anyway, the reason I have decided to install a custom rom is mainly the fact that SE have confirmed that they will not give X10 mini/mini pro Froyo, so therefore I now understand I have to start using custom roms.
The current wishes I have for installing a custom 2.1 rom is the following:
-Apps2SD
-Multitouch
-Change themes
I have currently decided to go for the iridium rom. Is that a good decition? I've read lots about "JiT" but I don't exactly know what it is. For example, can I install JIT, then install a custom rom (such as iridium) and JIT will still be "installed" and working?
Many of the tutorials here are great, in the way that it makes noobs like me able to actually install custom roms, however, the tutorials are alot like:
STEP 1) Pick a ftl/i20x model and install with flash tool.
STEP 2) Use one of the following builds: 2.1.A.x353.3531.43 (I'm like... WTF IS FTL?! WHAT BUILD SHOULD I CHOOSE?? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!?!? :/) lol,

Anyway, the reason I have decided to install a custom rom is mainly the fact that SE have confirmed that they will not give X10 mini/mini pro Froyo, so therefore I now understand I have to start using custom roms.
The current wishes I have for installing a custom 2.1 rom is the following:
-Apps2SD
-Multitouch
-Change themes
I have currently decided to go for the iridium rom. Is that a good decition? I've read lots about "JiT" but I don't exactly know what it is. For example, can I install JIT, then install a custom rom (such as iridium) and JIT will still be "installed" and working?
Many of the tutorials here are great, in the way that it makes noobs like me able to actually install custom roms, however, the tutorials are alot like:
STEP 1) Pick a ftl/i20x model and install with flash tool.
STEP 2) Use one of the following builds: 2.1.A.x353.3531.43 (I'm like... WTF IS FTL?! WHAT BUILD SHOULD I CHOOSE?? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?!?!? :/) lol,

i would say try till you find one you like. just because you like the looks of the iridium rom you should try them all before you make your descion. also experiment a bit since that does not hurt to try.
Well whats holding me back is the simple fact I can't get xrecovery working. I made another post for that tho, anyone of you want to try and assisst me?

I start right after I feel the vibration (a little b4 the sony ericsson logo appears)
And remember that it is the first logo that they're talking about! The one woth only text! ;D

Trust me.. When I say I have tried for hours getting xrecovery to work, that includes rebooting 20-30 times, each time pressing the back-button from vibration and probably like 3 times per second, until phone is fully booted. No results. Is there no other way to check if xrecovery actually IS installed?
Ok, I've seen some problems with the placing of the three files...
Where have U placed dem?
You need to COPY them from sdcard til SYSTEM, Then MOVE to system/bin.
That step is very important to make it work.. if you've just copied them from sdcard til system/bin , that could be the problem.. ?

EDIT: Good Luck C:
I did nothing of the sort, i just used bin4rys 'all in one' tool from PC to install xrecovery, then also the xrecoveery-fix.apk i think also bin4rys production. It said it installs xrec

Thanks alot!
But now the strangest thing happened... after my phone crashed and I repaired it, I log into market with my google account, and all applications (such as "Root Explorer") that I've paid for in the past, won't get downloaded. It just starts download but nothing happens, download freezes at: "downloading".
Any ideas what's causing this?
JiT is enabled as part of installing Iridium ROM.
Alright, I did a factory reset to fix the problem. With market. Followed indtructions precisely, three times now...xrecovery never starts up.
Anything else I need to configure? I notice that when i reboot, go /system/bin the xrecovery.tar file is gone.
EDIT: No it is still there, with the same permissions.
It doesn't seem like anyone else have any issues running xrecovery, so I don't get it!!

When I try to install xrecovery with the aapk-installer, the three icons just turn red. Judging from others who had this happen, it was due to an outdated busybox version.
Anyway, I ran Titanium Backup to update busybox, but that only got me 1.15. How can i get 1.18? It is not on the market

I dont think it is due to busy box version. i have busy box 1.15.3, and i have x recovery and custom rom CM 6.3.2.1 installed.
Are you moving the file and then copying them to them to the system folder? and is the root explorer in rw.
Thread which i followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426
peace.
I move files to /system/. Change permittion. Copy to /system/bin/. Reboot. Hammer back button, nothing.
The unified xrecovery-apk installer gives a clue I think, cause the install fails. I just wantt to find out why. I am rooted. I do mount r/w..
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
You need to copy them THEN move them, from your post above you are moving them then copying. Its important to do it the right way round.
Now I copied them to /system/. Change permittions. MOVE them to /system/bin/. Still no luck.
I am confused about all the talk about Busybox version, instructions about "DO NOT UPDATE BUSYBOX ONCE YOU'VE INSTALLED XRECOVERY!!" etc. but if I had done that wrong, xrecovery should just cause the phone to freeze at the SE-logo, right?
Atm, nothing at all happens at the SE-logo.
I think I'm going to use SEUS to wipe it all clean again, then just root it with superoneclick from PC, download Root Explorer, and try this again. My build atm is: 2.1.1.A.0.6 btw.
Thank you all so much for the help! I got it working now Had to go back to factory settings, then just root with superoneclick (NOT try to install xrecovery) then I installed xrecovery manually, after installing busybox through Titanium Backup.
Haha, now the only issue is that I can't find the flashtool from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664 I made afew posts here and there asking if someone could re-upload or post a mirror two days ago, but no replies. Does anyone have the GUI-version of flashtool?
EDIT: Nevermind. An angel uploaded a mirror of that too! =) Thanks everyone, now I will try my luck with the iridum rom!
Hi, I'm from Germany and my English is bad, so I use a translator.
I'm really happy with the v3.7.
However, unfortunately I am missing the pictures in music player.
How can we solve the problem?
Thank you.
I'm not sure if i can fix your problem, but maybe you could try this miui music player it works in most roms.
If anyone knows a newer version i give a thanks because this is the only one i found and my memory doesn't even help me to remember where i found it
PS: It will only work in english, in other language it shows in chinese(i think, don't know if it is really chinese)
Found much better one!
Sorry double post, didn't know how to be able to edit and add new files in the post.
Found in another post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948556&page=3
I believe it won't install directly, but if you copy it inside system/app and reboot it will work like a charm.
This one is newer(newer that i've found) and also will be in english in other languages(it would be english before only if the android was in english).
If you like it, hit thanks button, thanks!

if not try doin it and i think it shud work
Thank me if it worked !!!
I have problem with auto brightness. I used a lot of different widgets/apps to turn it on, but they don't work. FAQ said that I should turn it on with power widget, i tried and it doesn't work.
@Lesmian
have u rooted ur phone and if u have rooted then do fix permissions in Xrecovery
hope it works !!
Thank me if it did
eh ;/ I fixed permissions, but all is the same. Auto brightness still don't work.
i jus tried it on mine ..its workin fine!!! ...dunno what might be the problem in urs!!
hmm and you use wolf rom v 3.8? did you changed something in settings or it just works? Do you use any widget for auto brightness set up?
no i use power widget and m using wolf's v3.6 !!
@acerulz
Yep I fixed permissions, however, it did not 'fix' the sound. Still coming from ear speaker and blue tooth issue is not resolved.
I DON'T THINK 3.8 was not available until this morning, I will upgrade to see if it "fixes it", HOWEVER, IF you are having problems with 3.8, the issue isnt resolved.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE!!!

You need to install the new GB ready xrecovery. There's a thread about it in the development forums.

Can you tell me which power widget do you use? I dont have any power widget pre installed in wolf rom. Only on/off widget.
I have a problem as well. Im currently on v3.5 + update 3.6 (was offline few days, so im missing 3.7), i wont update to 3.8 (seems unstable) and im currently missing a Conversations.apk (found 1, the icon is not the real SE icon, its some modded, and i dont like it) can anyone provide me the original SE conversations.apk?
Query about flashing 3.8 update
hello..this is my first post here. I flashed WB rom v3.5 around the time it was released and its totally changed my phone. Its super snappy now..
I saw the 3.8 update thing today and my question is whether I can flash it using xrecovery without any data wipe because I have already done all the syncing stuff after the first flash.
I flashed 3.8 update without any data wipe and all works fine for me.
Hello, I'm a new member here. Been reading for the past few days on this forum and I have a few questions.
First of all I have my phone for a month now and I got fed up with the little internal space, so about 4 days ago I decided to Root my phone with the "upd_1.zip" file. After that I flashed the CWM4 on it and whiped my battery data.
I meanwhile bought titanium backup also and moved few not so essential apps to the sd card via titanium backup (im not sure if this creates the needed partition on the SD card or not though? do i need to do it proprerly or is it good as is?)
To get to the point:
My main problem is that the phone since it got rooted started to "forget" it's settings... mainly what bugs me is the Contacts get unlinked every time i reboot the phone, accounts get unlinked, my adw launcher forgets it's theme (this also happens without reboot), my yahoo email doesn't notify me properly, and apps in general don't seem to work properly anymore... (i also thought it might be from the app move to sd card, but i left the launcher for example on the phone, also haven't touched the contacts app...so i don't know)
How can I fix this? Will a new ROM help me fix these problems?
If yes, can you recommend me any good roms? I was looking a lot at cyanogen mod and ice cream sunday, but i cannot decide which one to get because i'm not sure which one is the most stable one of them?
What matters most for me in a rom is probably to be stable without too many bugs, to run flash if possible and to be more responsive than my current stock 2.3.3 rom. I don't really use the stock apps/gps stuff either, except maybe the youtube app, camera and the market app
My other request is please someone write down how to install a damn rom for noobs without any abreviations because the developers' install description is really vague and abstract in many cases (for the Cyanogen mod or ICSunday please)
My phone runs:
S5840XWKP6

Hello Mate
Whatever custom ROM you flash to will have a bug or two but they aren't anything serious thats just the thing with custom Rom's.
Installing Rom's is very easy as long as your phone is rooted (as you have already done) and you have CWM (clockwork mod recovery tool 5.xx not 4.xx) as you have said. There is a problem with CWM 4.xx with the Galaxy Ace it tends not to work properly.
All Rom's are downloaded from links on this website, copied to your SD card as a zip file (which it's downloaded as) then applied by using the CWM tool which appears in your apps after you have installed it.
There are lots of step by step instructions of how to do this just google "how to root galaxy ace" or "how to install CWM 5" or "how to install custom ROM" do you get my drift?
I'm using custom Ice cream sunday CM7.2 from the development section of this forum. It's fast got only what you need in a Rom and has hardly any bugs.
Do some reading my friend i've flashed my phone about 50 in the 2 months i've had it just testing ROM's but i like the one i have now.
Cool, thanks for the reply mate, do u have any idea about the problem i'm having lately by losing my settings?
I was asking for the how to flash guide because of statements like these:
"then install zip
after install, go through set up then set oc if you use and any other settings then reboot."
which makes no sense to me, go through what set up and what's an OC... and what other settings?.... get my drift?
And i'm currently downloading "theMyth" rom to test out... hope it turns out, it'll be my first custom rom
If your using clock work mod 4, it's not saving anything because it doesn't work with the galaxy ace i only found out after it messed up my phone and of course the back up of my settings didn't work!
OC means over clocked cpu application, yes you can over clock the cpu just the same as a pc or laptop make it run faster etc but it's not advised unless you know what your doing or you could fry it.
You definately need CWM 5 installed before you go flashing any new roms. Also have a good read of the reviews for a ROM before you try it etc that gives you all the info you need to know if you will get on with it or not.
uhm yeah... just flashed themyth on my phone and redownloaded titanium backup and it doesn't show up on my apps list, wtf
Make sure your installing apps to your phone and not your SD card??
Also check CWM has changed to version 5xx etc.
still if i would be installing to my sd card shouldn't it show up on my app draws or whatever it's called? on market i don't have "open" option only "uninstall"
Ahh yes i had this problem. Some custom roms need google apps (gapps) installed for your phone to receive stuff from the market.
Do you see the Andriod Market App? Can you sign in?
this is what i was telling you earlier depending on whos Rom you are installing depends what things they've taken out or left in. If it's taken out you have to download some or the apps again to get other things to work.
yup... i redownloaded it from the market, but "open" wouldn't show up, luckily i had the app on my dropbox too and i managed to start the restore apps on it now, im curious what happens when restore will finish
it worked afterall, im happy atm
cool mate you will learn alot by trying different roms but the basic process for flashing is always the same.
Hi guys!
I've been reading your comments on this thread and now i have a lot of questions!:
1) I have installed 4.0.0.9 but according to cooltt it's better CWM 5.x.x, how i can install it now?
2) I thought like jokerman170 to install TheMythICS but now i seeing that he has had problems, how you solved it? Which version you downloaded?
thanks in advanced!!
u can flash it just like the 4, i don't really like this rom, looks like a stupid theme and i got 256 rating on quadrant :| wtf
i downlaoded the TheMyth beta 2 full
icsunday2 here i come
icsunday2 it's difficult to install for a newbie like me and some people have had problems with this rom.
Why TheMyth is bad?
sorry for my english
it wasn't too fast and was kinda buggy and low quality imo, ICSunday is cool, but can't really log onto my wi-fi yet, working on it now
EDIT: worked with second try, really impressed with ICS2 atm
Okay mate
Ok guys thing is installing icsunday is not tough but u didn't understand what to do.mmmmm use cwm 5 for icsunday and icsunday2 is best rom ever.
sent from my phone
plzzzz hit thanks if I helped you in any means .......
i did use the 5, cause the Myth rom upgrades it for you
Btw could you check out my other thread that i just started.... im kind of a retard...
hi. after a long wait, I decided to upgrade my xperia x10 to gingerbread android. it looks cool, but it became reeeeally slow. everything is slow, from switching home screens to playing games. but the main problem is when i try to listen some music. i get a break every 10 seconds or so. it is so annoying!
I upgraded manually to 2.3.3 because the update was never available for me (I'm in brazil, and heard something about SE having to upgrade themselves, that you had to send them your handset so their techs would upgrade it) so since that's just stupid, i did it myself. along with it i rooted my phone, and installed recovery thing.
since 2.3.3 was really slow, i googled and found the jit enabler thing. installed it with the xrecovery and my phone wouldn't boot anymore. so i had to flash 2.3.3 again, this time i cleared everything, rooted again and everything. it's still very slow, i installed task killers and everything i could to improve performance, but 2.1 was way faster. songs are a little better now, but still annoying.
what to do now?
ty
Flash Fps uncap, it will boost your speed dramatically, also flash the music stutter fix
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
I had the same problem when I upgraded to 2.3.3, very laggy, even installed Jit enabler and got it stuck on SE logo, had to reinstall the rom again too. I'm using a custom rom and it's a very different phone now...fast no lag. You've rooted your phone, maybe it's time to take the next logical step.
Away from stock
Above poster has it right, try installing another's ROM now, WB has it down i think. You can also try a different Launcher( i use Launcher Pro) and a different Music app( i use Poweramp) use TB to remove all unwanted apps. move all your pictures and video, media, to SD card, but ensure your SD card isn't too big or too full, sometime an SD card with too much junk on it will slow everything down, such as with an sd card that is bigger then 16MB or a cheap one.
flash FPS as the others said, or just go and root it straight ahead and flash a rom. they are pretty stable by now without any probs! i use Donut HD and i had NO problems at all!
I also updated my x10i and its also quite slow, so how do i flash the fps uncap (please step by step, i am a noob xD) do i have to root it first?
