Hey so I'm coming from the i9000 section I'm very confident with flashing ROMS and mods and stuff like that but obviously every phone is different, what would be the best most stable ROM ? What I'm looking for
*stock styling (stock launcher like in 2.1)
*good battery life
*stability
*lots of features
*the slide to remove notification feature (this is probably my biggest ask, if there is a mod that can do this on stock firmware it would be great)
*clear instructions to check if bootloader is locked and if it is how to unlock it
*clear rooting and flashing guide thanks
By the way looking for this for mini pro

while it is not stock i like minicm7 by naa. and when the bugs of minicm9 is ironed out i think it will be the next best thing.
I saw that but it had adw launcher, is there any ports of the stock launcher for ics?

I would start with MiniCM7Pro by Paul-xxx from this link.
It looks close to stock Android Gingerbread and it doesn't require you to mess with your bootloader or a custom kernel.
Steps are:
Get Flashtool
Root the phone
Install CWM
Press the backbutton on kernel-logo to get into CWM.
In CWM do the usual wipes (factory-reset/data, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats)
Then install the ROM from your sd-card and reboot
Thanks a lot! since it is on 2.1 can I just use a once click app method? To do this then use ROM manager to install cwm?

Don't have experience with ROM manager, if it works on stock 2.1 then it will probably install CWM fine, I've got a CWM install zip for xRecovery (I install xRecovery with flashtool ,then install zip from sd-card and choose the CWM-install zip)
It is in a thread here somewhere, can't remember where though.
After that just flash the ROM with it.
Thanks a lot if it isn't to much to ask what exactly would I need to unlock the boot loader for?

search for S1Tool, it will give you the information you need to determine if it is safe to unlock your bootloader. (basically, if you have an SEMC simlock certificate you should be ok, if it states unknown simlock certificate, you're more than likely to brick your phone) (and look on the sticker under the back-cover of the phone, if it's on or after (year)11(week)29 (11w29) there is a chance of hard-bricking your phone too)
If it is safe, there is an unlock-option in Flashtool, under the plugins-menu that should do the trick.
Thanks what's the advantages of having it unlocked?

You can install custom kernels and have a wider choice of ROMS to choose from for your phone.
I think the best ROM for x10 mini/mini pro are miniCM9!:good:
It,s very stable and it still in development!

I disagree, minicm9 works better then minicm7 in terms of speed and stability. Not to mention the UI of ICS is better then GB. All I have issue is with video playback (qualcomm's fault).

Lol, it is NOT Qualcomm's fault, they would have helped if it was possible. If anyone is to blame, it is Google, for choosing a newer SOC with more possibilities as base for ICS.

for me the best ROM is MINICM9. The only things that need to be ironed out are the Loudspeaker distortion, the earpiece sound bug while in a call and the lagginess when opening an app or someone is calling. Otherwise its perfect! (for me at least)
Thanks I just checked her phone tonight it was under the year week thing with right baseband and update version for miniprocm7 but didn't have access to a of so couldn't check sim lock, so assuming that's okay do I just connect it check unlock bootloader and run? Or is there anything else I need to know?

Hi Guys n Gals.
So i just unlocked my bootloader, at least i believe so..(no sony text anymore)
But i used a fresh 2.3.3 stock rom to do it. Now i have 2 questions..
1) can i "restore" my Z's cm7 rom just as usual via recovery/will this affect (or be affected by) the bootloader unlock?
2) Can i continue with flashing/installing new roms etc.. just as before?
Sorry, but i don't know and searching gave me no clue!!!

Judging from what I read in the forums,
1) Yes
2) Yes.
The bootloader is PERMANENTLY unlocked,
nothing you could do can re-lock it.
So... happy flashing and restoring!! LOL!

Ok, thank you for clarifying, 1 thing I realised is that it was permanent, I was just worried I might brick it with something!!

so far doom has come out with a kernel for unlocked BL... so I'd say its presumably safe to use atm. As for the rest custom kernels, please wait... we don't want a brick sitting in our hands now. Do we?!
You can do anything with your phones, exactly like before the unlock.
It will remain unlocked permanently.
You can flash all the zips in the world, the bootloader will still be unlocked.
I, for one, use goro's kernel at the moment, exactly as I did before.
My impression, we can treat the new ftf.kernels as directly replacing the original stock kernel. Therefor no need to use bypass at all. Can someone confirm this please?
Thanks.

YOu can simply replace kernel if you are using any custom ROM on locked kernel.
Then you can simply copy and paste it (overwrite)
EDIT: As I know, this cant be applied when on unlocked bootloader (you havent noticed it before).
Yeah, well apperntly im outta luck i geus. My x10i is rooted + unlocked bootloader, but im running 2.3.3 gb.... No custom rom, about the kernel i dont know if its stock or custom, i would have to take i look at google to find it out.
Edited: And yeah, looking back it would indeed bin better if i posted this info in first post.
After all it looks that im gonna have to borrow a pc by a friend.

The kernal I would recommend is Entropy512's for the SGP. The tutorial on there is very easy and very stright foward so you shouldn't have any problems at all. I would recommand the rom I'm currently using but the dev removed the link because he is updating the rom.

Nothing in particular's bad w/r/t the stock ROM. It just isn't most people's cup of tea. Chip's ROM is pretty cool, though I'm limited in experience (onyl stock, Eryigit, and Chip's ROMs, to date) What I like about Chip's ROM is that it's up to date and is constantly in development, the style of it (ICS-theme), and that most of the bloatware's been removed. It's very operational and customizable. Plus, many of the "hacks" that he's introduced via init.d or elsewhere (courtesy of St. Matis; I've added a few of my own and deleted a few). He's edited the framework (or gathered it from another source) to get rid of that pesky "Cell Standby" thing that shows up as a battery drain (functionally irrelevant, but annoying nonetheless) and included a number of apps as stock that many here would install anyway. Look at the thread yourself and check its features

Disinstall all driver, make a clean install of the USB driver 1.5.6, install ODIN 1.8 and thats all...You have all you need to write a custom kernel from the stock one.
In Downolad mode the player is visible just from ODIN...i remember...
Otherwise, after installing the c.kernel, from the device recovery you can do all (c.rom-stock-kernel.zip addon).
