Ok, I found this guide and the rom:
Instructions:
•Download the MiniCM7-xxx.zip from the release link that follows
•Backup your /data contents: contacts, apps, sms, etc. or backup via recovery
•Move the MiniCM7-xxx.zip to the root folder of your sdcard. Download the suggested Google Apps for CM7 from here (check http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ if you want to experiment with other gapps versions)
•Unlock your bootloader, if you haven't already. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1254225 for a nice tutorial
•Flash the nAa kernel using Flashtool. To to this:
- Turn off your phone
- Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the U20_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
- Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
- Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.
•Once the logo appears, press the back button repeatedly to enter CWM.
- Select 'backup and restore -> Backup'
- Select 'wipe data/factory reset' (RECOMMENDED)
- Flash the MiniCM7-xxx.zip. To do this, Select 'install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard' and select the MiniCM7-xxx.zip
- Flash gapps
•Reboot (first boot will take ~2 mins)
•Once your device has booted, you can navigate to CM Settings -> System -> Update notifications and select 'Register'. This way you can get update notifications on new versions of MiniCM7!
I dont realy undestand the part about bootloader og flashtool and if I make a factory reset how do I get my contacts etc. back again ?

A custom kernel (nAa Kernel) is required for Installing MiniCM7.2.1.8 ...so the 1st step you have to do is to unlock bootloader so that you can install a custom kernel....you can use SE Tweaker Tool Or Flashtool v0.5.3 to unlock bootloader.but for me...i just preferred to use Flashtool to unlock bootloader and then flash the custom kernel See Here for instructions.........About your contacts...did u sync it with your gmail..?if not,make a backup first

I backed up with Xrecovery, but isnt that the rom ?
how can I back up all my apps, sms contacts and all that, because they will be deleted when I make the factory reset right ?

---

Owh.....if u wan to backup apps try titanium backup or ultimate backup...u can search it on market...and sms n cntct too...but hmmmm...for me I suggest just use backup &restore.apk..to backup ur sms n cntcts.

---

for apps try titaniumback up, sms try using 3rd party app like go sms, and for contacts you can just export it to your sd card

---

ok, and then I can just restore it all when I installede the rom ?

---

Yes, when you change the ROM, just install the Titanium only backup and to restore the applications!
Remember that the restoration of applications varies from version to version of Android!
Example: If you installed a program that works only in version Gingerbread, you can not restore it in versions prior to Gingerbread!

---

in your opinion guys which is better the MiniCM7Pro v.21 or the MiniCM7-2.1.8? ive tried the miniCM7Pro v.21 but im having a problem with the market on it so ive decided to change back to my stock rom. now i wanted to know if the MiniCM7-2.1.8 is better than the MiniCM7Pro v21.

---

I installed ultimate back up, is only the apps marked with a sd card I can back up ?
When I make a factory reset, the apps that where on my from from the start will stay right ?
And they wont be deleted when I install the new rom ?
Then I just need to restore the back uped apps ?

i dont havent had the program but with titanium backup you can install apps easily.
http://matrixrewriter.com/android/
thats the website for downloading the apk file of titanium backup incase your interested.
(mods: sorry if this is a violation but the dev(s) allows hotlinking of their apk file [pls delete link if its a violation {thanks}])

pros and cons:
minicmpro v21 - no need to have a custom kernel so not much to do except root, install cwm recovery and flash but downside is a bit slow (just my opinion and experience) as well as the trouble with unmounting sd card (gets corrupted if you dont turn off your device)
minicm7 - fast and no trouble with sd card. downside is you need a custom kernel thats a bit tricky because you need to unlock your bootloader that might brick your phone if instruction is not follower correctly.
thats from my experience with the two. so far i havent bricked my girls phone (x10 mini) and mine (x10 mini pro), now both running minicm7

After Flashing MiniCM7, you won't be able to restore your xRecovery backup.Coz MiniCm7 Using CWM..So Use Titanium to backup all your apps...and your contacts, just go to contact>option (press menu button) and export it to your sdcard...so after you have flashed MIniCM7,you can restore it back..

---

Ok, now I have backed up the hole ****..... (I hope :-D )
So let me get this right....
Now I have to unlock the bootloader (can anyone send a link to a bulletproff guide, the one on XDA is not working ? )
Its optional to install the surgested gapps right ?
then I Flash the nAa kernel using flashtool-0.5.3.0 To to this:
- Turn off your phone
- Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the U20_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
- Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
- Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.
then I back up with CWM
then factory reset
then flash rom witt CWM
reboot and Im done is this right ?

Ill try my best to help you out. This is what i did with my X10 mini pro (u20i) as well as my gf's x10 mini (e10i) with some minor difference in steps. BTW this little guide is for the MiniCM7-2.1.9 mini/mini pro and not MiniCM7 Pro - V21
1.1 Of course backup everything.
*contacts - done by exporting to sd card
*sms and mms - depends really on the sms app
*apps - titanium back up (in my opinion) would be great
*other things you might want to back up
1.2 Move the ROM zip file and GApps zip file to your sd card.
2. Root you phone and install CWM recovery. Here is your guide: SuperOneClick with CWM guide
3. Unlock bootloader. I found this guide very easy to follow: Boot-loader Unlocking
4. Flash nAa kernel. Kernel Flashing
5. Boot your phone to recovery.
6. Flash the ROM and GApps. Dont forget to do factory reset/full wipe as well.
7. Reboot and wait. Coffee time.
8. Sign in with your google account.
9. Restore, update and configure your phone.
10. ENJOY.
Hope that helps.

Great thanks !
If I want to install CWM, and back up, does it matter that I already installed Xrecovery ?
And the Factory reset and full wipe is after flashing the new rom ?

1. Doesn't matter. I think cwm will overwrite xrecovery
2. Ive read some that you do the wipe before others say after so i did before and after just to be sure.
PS: I forgot to say thanks to our sources. So thank you guys.

Ok, last question (I think)
Wipe before and after is that as good as factory reset og is it the same ?
