[INFO] General dev info for U, P, Sola - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Okay, I thought I would put a topic here where we can post general dev information.
I'll split it into sections when I have time but atm it will probably be a random mess...

Partition information
boot partition is mmcblk0p9, and if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can write to it. I did a few tests with nick on his P and it seems you can flash kernel in CWM on the P just like you can on the S.

So which partition is it for nand or rom installasjon? 12?

Probably yes. If it is possible on devices like LGP500, then it can be possible on xperia 2011 devices too!

What about the ext2 partition?
Can we install another rom in that?
i saw it on x8 forums long time ago ..dual boot is possible ..but somehow need a sd class 6 or higher ..but don't know if it work on 2011 xperia
but it will be hard to dual boot if using 2 roms with diffrent kernels ..thats what i thought of

I read somewhere that Doomlord had made a kernel which allows bootlooping which is required to dual boot the phone.!!!
If someone knows a good developers than we can ask him, do anyone?

Still ... can anyone tell me what caused this problem? because on both kernel firstly it did flash with asserts

[Q] How to integrate CWM into the RamDisk.

Hi,
I create a stock kernel with OC n stuffs but what I miss is integrated CWM. Since that is not present we were installing CWM manually. which if I create a ROM and flash the system parition is wiped and won't be able to use CWM further..
Does any one knows how to integrate CWM into Ram Disk
-- thank you
I know this doesn't answer your question ditectly but untill you figure it out, you can always integrate CWM in your rom. So that after rom flash in recovery, you get CWM right away.
work around....
