I think that some of Sony Ericsson's original apps on the stock 2.1 ROM are very valueable, because they are nicely customized for the small screen of the X10 mini/mini pro. Particularly the address book and phone application, the T9 keyboard and the photo application are good examples and quite essential for me.
Other people do often mention the radio application or even the stopwatch and the alarm clock of SE.
Now, with the release of the 'camera fix' for the X10 mini/mini pro Cyanogen 7 ROM's, it's tempting for me to finally change the ROM on my device.
So I would like to know:
Is it possible to use SE apps of the stock 2.1 ROM like the address book and phone app on CM7 ROM's (MiniCM 7 / GingerDX etc.)? If not, is it possible to port them like the apps of the Xperia Arc/Play in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982051 ?
Probably it would be useful to create a central list of SE X10 mini 2.1 apps (or modified versions of them) here, which work on CM7 ROM's, because I couldn't find such a list.
I would appreciate any contributions.

lemme get it one by one...
1)address book and phone app: i feel the CM7 is WAYYYY better and more customized!!!...y u want dat horrible dialer of stock mini???...even if u want, u can get it in the forums...dere is a thread with all the stock 2.1 apps listed in a zip
2)t9 - the "squash input method" is available in CM7 too,and frankly looks and feels better than the stock 1... although the key arrangement is similar
3) Radio, stopwatch and alarm - u can get the radio in the forums itself. the stopwatch, timer etc is available in the market as "xperia chrono", "xperia timer", etc. again, the alarm clock app is better for CM7 than stock 2.1
4) Camera Fix- u can get the stock camera 2 work as a "photo camera" in custom ROMS, but if u want the continuous auto-focus in video, get LGCamPro 5.95 and set the focus mode as "semi-continuous"...u get the "continuous auto-focus" back while recording videos....
ALL IN ALL, IF U WANT TO HAVE ALL THESE 2.1 APPS, SEARCH FOR THE THREAD IN THE FORUMS (sorry, I FORGOT THE URL, it has ALL the 2.1 apps), then u got 3 ways...
a) use winzip, winrar to delete and replace the files and then flash the updated ROM to ur cell using xrecovery\CWM
b) push using ADB
c) use ROOT Explorer.
hope i helped
if i helped you, kindly press the "THANKS" button

Did you both try the Xperia Arc LDPI version of Timescape from the thread mentioned in post #1? I've found also another version here:

I think the larger fonts are much better recognizable in the SE address book, but that's of course just a matter of personal preference.

Hm, most people tell the Radio app wouldn't work quite well...
Did a search on Android market and could just find XperiaTimer, which is just for the X10 (not mini).
But I think it's no problem, because I've found this thread with ported Xperia Arc apps including the T9 keyboard and the address book:

A very good tip. I'am using lgCamera on 2.1 - it has much better sound than the stock video app - but didn't know about the "semi-continuous" as a "real continuous" function.

u r doin somethin wrong....notes, timer, camera, email and contacts are personally tested by me and worked fine ( i was using miniCM6.0.1 at that time)...i have never tried the video, messaging or the data traffic app...nevertheless, use root explorer "properly" ....after u have copied the apps to /system/app then change the permission to rw-r-r and then tap the app & confirm "install"...u should be good to go
hope i helped
I only tried Notes, because i really need it, on MiniCM7 2.0.5 only appears close force
I changed the permission and nothing...

I tried Video in MiniCM7 205 and it force closed, too. How do I uninstall it? Drop to uninstall doesn't work, and it didn't show in Titanium backup.
The digital clock widget worked nicely, though! Thanks!
And which one is camera? Sorry, but I can't identify it.

i haven't tried any1 of these apk's in CM7 except for the camera app.....i can confirm you personally that the camera app works just fine in CM 7 latest update, and the same with GingerDX....i deleted the original camera & flashed it in the ROM itself (via winrar) before installing it
Thanks for the help!
I just installed semcCamera using Root Explorer and this works too under MiniCM7 -- but pushing the 'up' button causes a crash. I don't remember what it did, but possibly it is for changing to Video which I do not have installed as it crashed.
Now I'll try finding a version with a silent shutter...

It is video recorder it force close because its still not solved to record videos by camera through current libraries of minicm.

any one confirm working of conversations on cm7 2.1.2? ..
After updating with ICS 4.0.3 thee is no application in-built for CAMERA . . .
And also wi-fi is not working . so replay solution ..
There isnt a solution yet. The ROM is in development and it might take some time before its ready, i'd check back in about a month.
There are other really good gingerbread based ROMs though. I'm back on ArcMini, its working brilliantly.

First of all, it is mentioned by the thread owner who released ics 4.0.3 that there will be bugs and problems and this is not the final product. then why are you downloading and complaining about it? please wait for the final rom or just keep quiet.
Im sorry to say that but you should have read the whole topic before you flashed to ics. Did you read that in the first place?
MiniCM7Pro V21
Hi guys!
I have installed MiniCM7Pro_V21 on my x10 mini pro and i have a question?
The buttons on my phone does not look like the picture on the forumsite for MiniCM7Pro. (Can´t post link to picture because this is my first post...)
I still looks like the SE buttons, you know with four optional buttons in the corners. It does not help if I change theame.
Do i need to change framework somehow or what do i do?

Really you should post this in the Q&A section but, since I'm here..
It sounds like you're using the SE launcher. Launchers are the apps that you can access the app drawer from, see your widgets on, set wallpapers for, etc.
Have a look on the Market for an alternative, there are several out there. Or use ADW, which comes already with your rom. If you press the Home button and it doesn't ask you to choose between two different launchers, that means you've already selected the SE one)
Head into your settings app, then:
"Application Settings"
"Manage Applications"
Choose "All" from the four options near the top of the screen.
Scroll down and press on "Sony Ericsson Home".
Press on "Clear Defaults".
Back out of the app and press the Home button.
This will give you the option to use the SE launcher or ADW. Select ADW and...there you go!
So I installed the last Slim ICS on my S2, and all its working okay but the camera flash.
The option to enable it, its greyed out (white balance is also greyed out) but it works with other camera apps or on video recording mode.
Also the option to add location, appears twice.
It`s rom related problem, try finding answer in related thread created by rom developer. It would be best solution, in my opinion.

Hi,
I get a black stripe in every photo app. I attached a picture. It is photoshopped to show you how it looks, because a screenshot doesn´t show it.
I have a cleanly installed UK Stock LG8 ROM.
It doesnt happen in the 16:9 mode, just in the original 8mp mode.
Any ideas?
I used to have a similar problem with my HTC desire but it would also have a nice purple overlay in the camera app as well as the black bar
Unfortunately the only way it got fixed was to send it back to HTC but im pretty sure they only updated the software.
Regards
Jack

1- go here and perform the camera software update (need to be done with stock kernel)
2-if you use a custom kernel, check that he use the last samsung sources release and not outdated one
3- if none of the 2 first work: try a factory reset

Android 4.2 keyboard with gesture, its as good as swipe.
http://m.pocketnow.com/2012/10/30/android-4-2-stock-keyboard-now-available-for-download-unofficially
After installing go to languages and input and check Android Key board
Hope it will be useful.
Download and Install
Now, getting it on your device is going to be easy for some of you, and less easy for others. You'll need to be on Android 4.0+, to start.
If you're on a phone with a UI overlay that has the stock keyboard disabled (eg, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, Sony), you can just download the apk below- no root required. To install, make sure you have "install from unknown sources" enabled in your phone settings, and after installation, go into your phone's keyboard settings and enable "Android keyboard." Then, you can switch to the new keyboard. This may also work on some "stock" Android custom ROMs - but it will not work on stock Android builds distributed by Google.
Get the apk here: http://d-h.st/XuS
If the apk doesn't work, you're running a phone that is either A.) running stock Android (as in, AOSP), or B.) running software that has the stock Android keyboard as an option, you'll need to download this ZIP file, and flash it in recovery. That also means you're going to need root. as you'll be writing to /system/apps. Before you do, though, either back up the stock keyboard (if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be doing this) or create a full image backup, just in case. Here's that ZIP file:
