I'm looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911364 and cannot work out if I've downloaded the correct file from the 2nd post or what to do with the rar once I've unpacked it?
I've already had a play with z's free x10 b3 & b4 & wolfbreaks CM6.1.3 v05, and I'm up to speed on flashing baseband via flashtool, so I'm not totally new to his, but I downloaded from the third link in the 2nd post and extracted but cannot find a zip file to use with xrecovery.
Is this ROM installed differently? Am I doing something wrong?
Any help woud be greatly appreciated!
look for: Update.zip
When you extract the .rar file there shoiuld be a file called update.zip. This is the file you can use from within xRecovery.
But why should you use v10. v11 is out and some of us experience less WLOD's.
v11 works for me, also with update.zip.
Good luck!
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go at some point this week.

I'm on the newest version 2.2.1 from Cyanogen right now.
Whats the different with this one?
I mean not the differents between 2.2 and 2.3 but: what is working already in 2.3?
There are camera issues. The camera app isn't working which means that you will not be able to take images.
You will experience random system reboots.
Basically for me 2.2 froyo rom us more stable than cm7

Thanks for the info.
I will wait till the 2.3.3 version is more stable.
Having done a bit more reading I think I'll stick with CM6 based ROM's for now, let CM7 become a little bit more stable!
Hopefully it'll be before SE release the 2.3 update
Knowing our devs it definitely will be : )
Yeah, I'm fairly new to these boards but I've been pleasantly surprised by the speed of new releases and updates for the ROM's that I've been using.
I'm still in the procss of trying to decide which ROM is best for me, so I'm having to go through constant reinstalls of all my apps and so on which is a nuisance but worth it for the improved speed & functionality!
psx you should use "my backup root" for all your apps so you dont constantly reinstall them.

Cyanogenmod 7
Hi, is there a link to a guide to install Cyanogen on my x10. I have gingerbread 2.3 at the moment and my phone is rooted. Need basic info.
Thanks
My kernel is the stock version. Basebands and all other requirements have been met. I have rooted my x10MP with Flashtool and unlocked Bootloader. I have also installed CWM. I do not have xRecovery installed as I assume one recovery program would be sufficient.
According to MiniCM7Prov21's thread, all requirements have been met. However, when I try to "install zip from sd" in CWM's menu, it always returns a message saying "Installation failed".
This was the same for CyanoCream's ROM.
Could someone help me out please? I've tried reading through the other threads but it seems no one had such problems.
The steps I followed were from the following threads:

Greatly appreciated.
As far as I know, both use xRecovery (a 1 year old recovery). I suggest you to install nAa's kernel and install or MiniCM7 2.2.0 or CyanogenMod9 v02.

so I would need both CWM and xRecovery on my phone in order to be able to install either miniCM, CyanoCream or any of the mods that you mentioned above?
Hmms might be worth a try then.
Thank you.
Will post back here whether it works or not.

No, no need for both. xRecovery is old. No one uses it anymore.
Just flash nAa's kernel (there is a lot of guides out there), boot in CWM, flash either Mini CM7 2.2.0 (Android 2.3.7) or CyanogenMod9 v02 (Android 4.0.3) and be happy.

The first one is, with sure, the more stable. I recommend the second only if you want a really tasty Ice Cream Sandwish phone. It isn't the MOST stable, but it's more stable than a lot of other ROMs.
Good luck and give us a feedback if everything went well and if you liked.

Hi there! I've successfully installed MiniCM and it's working fine. Really like the new design. A little question though. As I need to time in Mandarin/Chinese from time to time, could you point me to any sources that can help me install a Chinese/Mandarin keyboard in addition to the default Android keyboard?
There's a little problem though. Whenever I miss a call, the phone will play a song along with the notification. However, this song isn't set as my notification tone. In fact, it is just one of the songs in my music library. Is there any way to work around this?

Heh Heh~ you've been of much help though. Thank you very much.
I've decided to search around the market for some chinese input apps. May try to pull out the stock chineseinput apk from my mum's X10 Mini when she's back ^^
As for the ringtones...I've managed to find a workaround, albeit a little troublesome but no worries.
once again thank you very much =)

Hi
I've got quick question:
Since I can't unlock bootloader (11w43) and instal custom kernel (or maybe there is any way to do that...? ;>), which ROM is fastest and most stable? I've tried few roms and if You know something better than GingerDX it would be cool
I'm asking, becouse there are no modules for GDX on web and it's kinda lack of funcionality :/

MiniCM7 (by nAa) yes, but MiniCM7Pro (by Bpaul) is GB2.3.7 for stock kernel.
You have gintonic by slade87 too, which is what i'm currently using at this moment for almost a year now

Afeter one day testing: mCM7 is great aat performance and battery uptime, but I've got one problem: I can't install PowerAMP and Unlocker due to insufficient memory, and these are first apps I'm installing... Also changing default installation destination to SD card via adb terminal didn't helped with that, so... It's time to buy winamp
I can't find any issues with insufficient space in the ROM's dev thread, in fact, one guy says he had installed about 89 apps... I wouldn't buy WinAmp just yet if you have a problem with installing apps.
I vaguely remember having read something about an issue like that, but the solution escapes me, mainly because i haven't experienced it myself... There should be enough app-space on your data-partition to install at least a couple of applications, maybe a full wipe or maybe format /data in CWM (mounts and storage menu) will clear your problem.

You can use this thread if you look for stock kernel based ROM. Just Scroll down to PRO section then stock based ROM.
the stock A2.1 which came with my x10mp is ok, but now I'm finding many apps on the market which need A2.2+, and some nice features are missing (like native usb tethering, hotspot mode, I know there are apps on the market which provide these as a workaround "addon" but its nicer to have these supported natively).
the question is: should I install a custom ROM which provides features of A2.3 or later? would these ROMs run smoothly on the not-so-powerful x10mp? do they provide full functionality, or for example, the camera won't work?
which ROMs are recommended?
TIA

i reccomend that rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116
MiniCM7 2.2.1 and ArcMini Nxt6 are your best choices.
You can also experiment with other roms based on ics or jb but I wouldn't recommend that.
x10 mini and x10 mini pro work like "beasts" with roms based on 2.3.7. Best day-to-day use at the moment...
I think the best rom for U20i is new GingerDX (mimmi) its smooth, stable, fast. But u cant overclock so much here so if u want bigger overclock try MiniCM7 by nAa, enjoy.
