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?
Hi guys
Sorry but i am a noob to all this so have proberly stupid questions.
After flashing to a customer rom i went back to a stock t-mobile rom. Problem i now face is when i try to download apps from other companies that are not on the app store eg mfortune they are unable to detect the type of phone i am using so i get "sorry we do not currently support your device" despite being able to do so before rooting and flashing. Is there a way i can change this with the release of skyGo on android this month i want to be able to download it. As it will be only on the galaxy s2 and HTC phones for some time i dont really want to wait.
Any help please???
Did you do a full whipe? Adding some details like model number, the rom you flashed and the one you came from may get you some more useful results.
As for the skyGo app, it won't take more than a day for it to pop up as an APK somewhere on the net.
Hello
Thanks for the reply i am currently in work so i cant look at my phone but will update on which firmware and kernal version i am running
I did however follow this guide to root reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/[/url]
Not sure if that helps i did not however use the guide to flash the secure kernal maybe thats where i have gone wrong.
I will update the thread with the info later.
Thanks again
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?

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.

theoretically, it could happen, but it won't. the amount of work and expertise required to port android to that device, especially as there is no technical information or reference material whatsoever available, greatly exceeds the interest of any able developer.
wat happen for nokia phone when port android on device `s!!!!
best hardwar
best quality
best suport!
It could be possible, but it would take a huge amount of work and knowledge, and i think nobody is interested on that.

Successfully rooted
Thanks so much!! I have successfully rooted my asus-ME172V-WW_user_4.5.4.52875837_20140520 (latest firmware). I was just wondering if the custom AMPC rom would also be updated to support this firmware. But yet again thanks for your hard work.

For now no.
But maybe in the future when I have time again. since its a long process (Asus have changed the system a lot)
I would just use Xposed framework (make sure to read up on it before use)

Yeah, managed to get Xposed Framework to work fine(nice tweaks and all).
But just asking, would the custom rom affect the performance of the tablet in any way?? Cuz its kinna laggy and after all, its a single core processor. XD
its safe root me172v
well it's safe root this tablet?
What link do I use
Hi I'm new to rooting and xda, and I wanted to know which link is for the latest firmware.
Stuck at loading when trying to root newest firmware
I was elated to find out that you have released an update to the root util of the newest firmware, however, after restarting the phone with all the correct files, it hangs on loading at start up. I read another person's reply that he had successfully rooted the newest firmware with the Me172vRootUtil_v0.3 package.
Is there any additional risk involved in rooting with that package or should I wait for a fix to the newest root toolkit instead?
Bricked`?
Hi gyes..
I did just buy a Asus Memo Pad used real cheap.
And i did it becouse it looked bricked and wanted to see if i could unbrick it.
I have been reading here and there and im wondering.
Do i have to use an micro SD card?
Can i use a regular micro USB to connect to computer?
And is there a way after you see the pictures i have posted if it is in any way possible to unbrick it?
If not. then hey. i lost alitle bit money.
If yes. can you please guide me to the correct tread (if you know it)?
The picture with the asus logo is what it looks like in startup.
After a long while the other picture is how the screen looks like.
Edit.
I fixed it.
I found a restore and did put it on a SD card. Then everything went splendid.
After i wanted to try to install a new recovery on it. So i did the steps required to install a new one.
But under bootload the computer did not see the tablet. So im stuck at bootloader right now.
So if anyone know how to get out of it. PLEASE share.
I will uppdate this post ion how things go along.
Is it possible to use the 8GB dumps on a 16GB model? Will it break?
Kitkat support
Hi I'm thinking of buying this tablet, was wondering what is the latest Android version for the tablet? Is it 4.1 Jellybean?
HELP!!!
I bought my first android tablet and its a me172v 16gb but it has no basic apps, not even google play store. It has a lot of test apps like battery testsuite and touch test. The build says asus-ME172V_WW_eng-4.5.4.12334547_20130205 test-keys. I have been searching all day but do not know how to just restore this to default factory version or anything that will provide me with google play store.. PLEASE someone help me or point me in the right direction.
Heyy Crazykiddo, sorry to bother you. Ive been really keen when the AMPC Rom would be updated to support the new firmware. Ive been checking the thread frequently and just so if you happen to want to update it, please keep me posted. Youre the only guy i know who has done the root for this device. Im pretty attached to this device, haha
My Asus MeMo Pad 7 (ME172V) turns on by itself, very annoying
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this Android thing, I'm more of an iPad guy but I thought I could give this little thing a try in order to get more up close and personal with an Android tablet. I got that thing from a friend, and he said that it works fine but there is a catch. Whenever the thing is sleeping, it will wake up all of a sudden for no reason at all, then go back to sleep after 10 seconds, then eventually wake again, and so on. When the tablet is connected to a wall outlet or a USB port, it won't wake up like this.
Do you guys have a suggestion? This is driving me nuts.
Here's a video of the said behavior:
