When i download for example the new jellybean package in the sdk manager I can run it in my emulator wich means that i got the complete ROM. So my question is how to extract that ROM and flash it. Btw I got a Xperia mini st15i with official ics so can I get jellybean on it?
Hi,
theoretical, yes. But nothing will work. The ROM is optimized for the virtual Android phone and not for the Xperia mini st15i.
This means:
1. The drivers are wrong -> lots of things won't work.
2. It's not optimized for your display size -> widgets won't work until they are resized.
But you can build your own rom with taking this rom and add the sony ericsson stuff. But something still won't work, so you have to modify them.
I hope I could help you,
Hardy
Can you give me a link for a tutorial for optimizing roms. I already googled but didn't find anything.

I am surprised to search and not find a thread covering this (I likely missed something)
I would like to know if there is a way to get the SDK addon for the X10 to run the 2.0 upgrade? Ir is there a different add-on that has the upgraded os in it?
Thanks,

Right, so I'm attempting to port Xperia Sola skin to my Motorola Defy+. (Gingerbread to Gingerbread).
I've got some questions:
1. I've found out that .sin files must be extracted with Xperia ROM manager tool and with unyaffs.exe. The latter app cannot be used, and frankly I've had experience with such console apps.
Is there any other app out there that I'm missing?
Is the source released so that I won't bother with .sin/.img files?
2. I've noticed that some Xperia apps (I've got my hands on the music one) cannot be ported since they have some sort of protection (?) Am I being wrong?... If not, how can I "crack" it?
3. If there are other .apk files such as the topbar file - does it also have any protection?...
Many thanks,
Alex.
EDIT: This source: http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...re/open-source-archive-for-build-6-0-b-3-184/
I've searched through it but didn't found out system/app folder.
Maybe I'm used to Motorolas and speaking a different language?...
heres my first advice
ask questions in the q and a forum
I made this ROM for my Xperia P device in this thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889581
Some users reported that it can also be installed on Sola and working fine. Not so surprising though as build.prop is modified not overwritten and most stuff I added are stuff from T/V so it's quite possible. I don't have devices on hand to test myself besides Xperia P so let me know what works and broken there so I can try fixing it to make it more generalized.
Very promising ROM
Appearantly it works on Xperia U and should also work on Sola/Go too for any 6.1.1.B.1.x stock ROM. Make sure you prepare root/busybox/init.d before flashing this ROM.

Hello Windows X,
Thanks for your job, I have tested Fidelity VX 7 and8 and it's great !
I just have one weird problem with the 8.0 version, I'm not able to connect to internet through 3G/3G+ unless I ask to the phone to search and download MMS and Internet configuration ( in setup ) each time I boot the phone.
Sorry for my poor english if you have trouble to understand.
It probably has something to do with partial working JB files. I hope next release will solve those problems.
Version 9.0 was released btw and v10 with Xperia Z files is in development.
Requirements:
1. A rooted Samsung Galaxy Star.
2. CWM version 6.
Steps:
1. Install Xperia Pirates ROM. For help go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748747. 80% of job done. Now its time to do small things that really matter.
2. You can install stock Sony Apps (like a Normal apk). Unfortunately I could not make stock phone and messaging app on our phone. Apps are included in attachments.
3. Although the ROM themes the elements, the progress bar is not that Xperia like, so install Smooth system progressbar (Xposed Module).
4. The Lockscreen Remains unchanged, install Xperia lockscreen from this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687654.
5. What's still missing is the bootanimation, unfortunately I could not find Xperia bootanimation, if you find it, please comment with the link
Some instructions to make the ROM more meaningful and beautiful
1. Change android version to 4.4, because by default it comes with 4.4.2 xperia pirates, but on launching the easter egg, you find 4.4. You can change it by editing build.prop.
2. Keep the font size of the home screen and app drawer at 13.9. you can change it in launcher settings.
3. You can use seeder to reduce lag.
If I have helped, click thanks :laugh:

Please provide me the contact.apk of sony xperia pirates rom separately thanks....
Hi. İ want to chenge my font with Rosemary by the iFont an some other apps from Google play are not working... İ found some flashable zips for Xperia 5.0.2 but they are not competible with 5.1.1.... Now i need your help for this...
Fontster was working while I was using the GPe 5.1 port. Haven't tried it on Sony's 5.1.1 build, but I'll go ahead and assume it's working just fine.
Well I didnt tried changing fonts on Android 5.1.1 still. But I was wondering if there is any way to get option of fonts in Default Settings menu, (Just like the way it is present in Samsung and HTC phone's stock rom i.e. In Settings -> Personalisation -> Fonts).
Nope, those a pure Samsung/HTC features, and you'll have to use a root-app to change it on Sony and other OEMs.
Well Someone once posted a flashable zip to get Smart Call Handling in Cross Device Development Project. We got a option in Settings because the OEM had already added the code to get 'em there. I was thinking maybe this gonna happen again.
Well Thanks
