Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the proper section to post my queries, but please bear with me.. I just registered last week.
Alright, I have some inquiries regarding the phone and all its stuff. I'm planning to buy Xperia X10 Mini and it will be the first time that I'll be using an Android-run device.
I have quite knowledge on iOS since I have an iPod Touch, so almost everything that I read here are jargons for me. I'm not that noob in terms of technical comprehension, though I don't consider myself as an advanced user, perhaps just an average hobbyist. So let me start folks.
1. I'm confused between having the X10 Mini or the X8, which is which? Any suggestions?
2. When you say "rooting" or "rooted", is it the counterpart of "jailbreaking" in iOS?
3. What will happen to my warranty if my mini is rooted?
4. Will this "rooting" thingy brick my mini? (should I failed)
5. What is xRecovery? I'm seeing a lot of those in this forum.
6. What's JiT overclock?
I'm trying to think other questions, but I guess I have to buy first that phone. So hopefully anyone can provide me advices, thanks in advance guys.
Still no replies after several days. So sad, felt like outcasted in this forum.
Sorry, but common sense would say to you to use search button just up here... On every of those questions you would find plenty of answers.
And your first question must be joke right? You couldn't even type X10 mini and X8 to google?
I am normaly not like that, but this was just too much for me And you even complain...

1. Check Settings -> About Phone -> Model Number
2. YES
3. No Idea (You could always argue an app from the market did something if you need to claim)
4. NO
5. Allows Backup/Restore options of your entire Phone memory and installation of custom roms/themes as well as more advanced features including being able to replace protected files whilst they are not being used (During boot)
6. Speeds up performance using JIT enabled files (Tried and tested)
BTW: The search or google options are indeed a good place to start for answers, I only replied because I had nothing better to do!!! LOL
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for being too lazy to do research here in this forum. Well, this is not the most organized forum that i've been to.. a lot of topics that are cluttered. Besides im new to this android stuff. Anyway...
Yow Kabayan,
1. I'm confused between having the X10 Mini or the X8, which is which? Any suggestions?
x10mini is the small black device with small screen and builtin battery, x8 is the white device which is in middle of x10 and x10mini. though its price point is way lower than x10mini.
2. When you say "rooting" or "rooted", is it the counterpart of "jailbreaking" in iOS?
its like jail breaking but without the caveat of warranty issue. since android is an open os(if I am not mistaken)
3. What will happen to my warranty if my mini is rooted?
nothing. as long as it still working. you could re-install the rom using SEUS anyway.
4. Will this "rooting" thingy brick my mini? (should I failed)
root access is granted by using installed application, which does not affect the over all usability of the phone, though ROM modification is more likely to destroy your phone than rooting it. though rooting is required before you could install custom rom.
5. What is xRecovery? I'm seeing a lot of those in this forum.
it is a boot application which enable you to recover your phone(if only you have the image before hand), or install a custom rom to your phone(which is like recovering your phone, but instead using rom from different devices or custom made by other user/developer.
6. What's JiT overclock?
it is a new dalvik implementation stuff, which is an experimental, under-development or ongoing development for application optimization/runtime, which compile the application to native machine language. means faster games and application.
overclock is different - its more of increasing your device CPU hz.
I might be wrong on some point, but that is currently how I know the android, Im using x10 mini. my first android. though rooted, jitted, link2sd, I still haven't tried custom rom.

Maraming salamat kabayan!
Actually prior to your reply, I have already rooted my mini, with APP2SD + DC2SD and xRecovery.. I haven't tried the Jit stuff though, I'll still study how to do that. It's so hard to get direct answers in this forum so most of the time, I'm doing my own research. (unlike other forums that I've been to, though it's for iOS or PSP stuff)
So you are implying that custom roms are not that safe? Did I understand it right?
By the way, can you teach me how to customize the screens? Sorry I'm just totally new to this Android world, perhaps we could just PM each other?

This is only possible if you root your device. Only some very lucky Lumia 800s are capable of it, depending on whether they have a Qualcomm bootloader.
If you do, flash a custom unlocked ROM, it may contain the app already but if not search on XDA for it it's called USB Video Out.
If it has a Nokia DLOAD bootloader you are out of luck.
Good luck, I don't have time to provide lot of links sorry, look in the Lumia 800 and WP7 hacking dev sections. :good:
Oh and check out the Play To app from Nokia if your TV supports it.

I have an xperia X10 mini Pro. now i have a verry stupid question (and i think i posted this on the wrong section, sorry for that my first time on the forum). my question is: will i be able to play games that are not compatibel with my phone ( icon pop quiz,...) if i root? or will it make no difference
and if it will help can sombody like explain in short how to root and what about roms ..
I know there are alot of treads but i want you to like give me advise on what is the best for me?
will i lose my data on phone and sdcard?
what are the risico's?
thanks to the ones that are going to help me.
if there is exact the same tread can you send me a link ( i looked for 10 minutes but dident find what i was looking for)
Hey You can have any game in your U20i ,there is only one problem that you have ,that is were you able to play a game in your mini pro! Rooting your x10MP does not delete your sd data (but may your phone data, if you upgrade to another firmware and root, will delete phone data ).
heres the link for rooting- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
And another thing please go through x10MP section before asking this kind of questions!

Hey, bro!
First of all, there are no stupid questions, weŕe all learning here .
Rooting, in itself, doesnt let you play more Games/Apps.If you want to use more and especially newer apps, you will have to install a Custom ROM on your device, commonly known as flashing. A custom ROM is a is an android operating system that is different from your latest "official"(made by SonyEricsson) OS. Custom ROMs for our device are very practical, because our latest official Android version is 2.1, which doesnt support many apps. Currently, the best working custom ROMs for our Phone are the ones based on 2.3 Gingerbread.
To get the very best out of your Phone, you will have to unlock your bootloader (which is slightly risky) and flash a custom kernel, which is also part of a new Android OS(tutorials you will find in the following link).
If the procedure of unlocking your bootloader is to risky/difficult for you, there is another alternative: to flash a ROM based on your preinstalled("stock") kernel. For this you HAVE to root your phone, which doesnt have any risks and isnt difficult, install xrecovery (a program to install new ROMs) and then flash a "stock kernel based" ROM. Everything else you need to know is in this Links:
All custom ROMs and Tutorials for xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588192
For unlocking your bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462278
PS.: You wont lose any on your sdcard and phone if you just root your Phone. If you flash a new ROM, you will lose the data on your Phone, but not the data on your sdcard.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forums so I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. But since I'm gonna be discussing about an android phone, I guess I'll put it here XD
Anyways, I have an Xperia Neo V and am upgrading my phone soon. I was wondering if anyone had any tutorials or links on how I can code and run custom operating systems on my phone. The thing is, I don't want it to be Android, I want to develop it from ground up, probably with assembly featuring. I've written a couple of tiny OSes on PCs with boot loaders and stuff using ASM but I don't know how to go about this with a smartphone as there are no resources on it.
Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge
Thanks

I am by no means an expert on this subject but first you would have to do is replace the bootloader on your phone with one that would allow you total control over the device which would mean porting something such as u-boot to your device. After that you would have following the porting procedure for whatever operating system you wanted to port.
Thanks for the reply I remember that on my tablet I had to place a uboot.bin file on the SD card before I could boot into CWM and some other stuff. Just wondering, rather than replacing the bootloader, would it be possible to run uboot from the SD card? Also, I was talking about writing an OS from scratch, not porting an existing one XD it's just for educational purposes, so I'd really like to try my hand at things like this
Thanks
Hello guys.. I'm fairly new to this website (registered a few days ago but knew the website for ages)
My cellphone is an Xperia M dual (C2005)....
The thing is, I used towelroot to root because I didn't want to use the adb thingy.. The conclusion is I don't have custom recovery..
Since I want to flash I'm never aware of whether I'm gonna brick or not my cellphone...
So with that being said, I would be glad if someone could link me to a 4.4 KitKat ROM (I want this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2722892), a way to install custom recovery (without fastboot preferibly, if there is a way) and how to backup&restore the data in case of bricks! ... If you could guide me step-by-step, that would be amazing!
Thanks if you have read all that text!
Have a nice week!
And pls, im begging that we talk on other place like facebook or something else if u dont have anything like that forget it and we'll just talk here
