You need to have knowledge of Java, Android and programs that you need to use. I do not have mini pro, neither haven't I used MIUI, so I can't help you about that.

Common Problem of All X10MP Users: Keyboard

Hello all,
I think that our developers are doing great by making beautiful custom roms for us. But with almost every rom of X10 Mini Pro, many of us have encountered a common problem: The Keyboard Problem
I will explain what exactly the problem is, and request emerging developers to sort the matter out.
Problem 1: With every rom if you are using onscreen qwerty keyboard and suppose suddenly you want to type with slide out physical keyboard, then you will find that all other keys work fine on physical keyboard except Symbol (Sym) key. To make the symbol key work, one has to change the 'input method' to 'default input' and in that case user could not access onscreen qwerty back until he changes the 'input method' again to default one. I mean to say that it is really a big pain every time changing the input method. Please can someone make the qwerty keyboard layout such that it can work onscreen as well as physical one should also work fine (including symbol key). Remove the default input (SE) and make the qwerty one as default with Sym key working on slideout keyboard. Maybe some one can port XMP keyboard to our X10MP but the keys are different in both type so one need to play around the key layout.
Problem 2: Keyboard light never works perfectly (like stock rom) on any rom. I don't know why our developers did not pay attention to this common but serious issue. I know that we have KFIX apk for that but one need to keep it always on and it always runs in background eating our little amount of RAM. Nobody wants that.
Can anyone make a flashable zip so that both the above said problems will be solved (Atleast for MiniCM7).
Thanks in advance.
I hope whoever will solve these issues will get huge number of thanks and appreciation from X10MP community.

for your problem number 2
try folowing this
try copying the lights.mimmi.so or lights.delta so from /system/lib/modules on miniCM7 to this ROM and see if lights work. if this was built from source they're not included by default.
i use a firedroid and had the same problem then i take other rom that has perfect keyboard light rom and put it in my firedroid rom zip. and it works fine now. credit goes to atis112 for the firedroid and x10man for the solution.
Can't find lights.mimmi.so

Hi! Sad to say I couldn't find lights.mimmi.so or lights.delta in the /system/lib/modules folder- it was completely empty, in fact, except for a .placeholder file. I downloaded MiniCM7-2.2.1-robyn.zip, update-FireDroid-2.3-mimmi.zip, and MiniCM7-2.2.0-mimmi.zip . Can you perhaps post the file involved, or point to the right download?
Much appreciated!

Wow, switching back to the default keyboard made everything work perfectly! It means my touchpad KB is dialpad style, but the flip-out KB works perfectly now, lights.mimmi.so by the way was under /system/lib/hw folder. It looks like I don't have to install it though, so long as I'm satisfied with the 3x4 taptouch touch keypad.

Problem 1 :
Can't make comment about this one, since I always use default input method, and never use android keyboard.
Problem 2 :
There are people already trying to fix this issue.
And actually, this issue is not always found in every phone (and ROM)..
I just flashed ArcMiniNxt 6 by Pranaj (sorry if misspelling), and the keyboard light don't have problems at all. At first, even MiniCm7 and MiniCM 9 by nAa doesn't have this issue at all (in my experience, though). As the time goes on (and I install this and that and doing tweaking this and that), then the keyboard starts going haywire. So, it's not fully to ROM and Kernel I guess..
I think problem one was fixed in the latest nightly, as was two with the inclusion of mimmiparts.apk. the files you were looking for are in /system/lib/hw but they won't help.

*Whistle!* Looking forewards to trying it! Currently the nightly builds links at download.cyanogenmod.com are giving 404's though, so no luck there. Thegoogle miniCM repository doesn't host the nightly builds either, but <3 it for information and stable builds. (Sorry folks, I'm not out of newb status yet so can't post external URLs, but I'm working on my post-count!)
<3's to this forum for bringing me successfully through modding my own U20i. Kudos X10man, thank you for the tidbit of info!

[Q] Searching for an developer for CyanogenMod 10 Keyboard Mod

Hello.
I hope I post this on the right place now. Sorry for posting it on another place too, but i think this noob question isn't well seen in the other forum
I have an Xperia Pro and now I am using PAC Man rom and CM10. But I am not very happy with the hardware keyboard on both Roms.
So I am searching for an developer who would make an Mod with an Stock Liked Hardware Keyboard. That means, the "Sym" Key should work and insert from "äöüß" shoulkd be easier. In the stock rom I press on the "aous" a moment, pop-up apperas, for german the "aous" are selected automatically, and for further write this letter is inserted automatically. at CM must be confirmed via touch or enter.
The Sym-Key now works, the äöü is one thing of getting used. But is really miss the smilies in the Sym-Menu.
I'd like do it myself, but I don't have the time and for all I don't have knowledge in that.
I think the hole Xperia Pro CM Community would be happy for that. I would pay a little bit for the work.
Regards
Christoph

Sk17i (Mango) Mini pro keyboard

I am trying to port xperia mini pro keyboard from original stock rom to cyanogen, but still i did not manage to have good news...
the fact is that we sk17i users need it because of autocorrection on physical keyboard which is not supported by android stock keyboard. also i love t9 in portrait with slide keyboard closed... so it would be great to have the original keyboard software
what i've done for now is to install it: i can see it in the keyboard list, but as i select it, it keeps crashing...
i am sure i am not considering some files, but really i dont know what i could flash....
can somebody more experienced do something for all mini pro users?

Thank you for your thread! I hope someone will help us, because i also want this to be working, but my main purpose is the emoticons (smileys) to get work with hardware keyboard, the SYM button. ( LIKE THIS)
I tried to do this and asked for help but everybody says: it is impossible because of the copyright...but i dont think SE will come here and see my phone what keyboard i use...
So come on DEVs MAKE IT! And CM10 will the best ROM ever. Thank you! :good:
sym, globe, and blue square (for special letters and numbers) and also the caps lock are not working good on other keyboards, also missing the autocorrect feature which is essential for languages like italian (full of stresses on vowels)
so having the SAME keyboard as the stock firmware on cyanogen would be GREAT
Check my thread buddy. Xperia flavour on CM10. I include the Xperia S keyboard for Cyanogenmod. But auto correction for physical keyboard still not working and m working on it otherwise everything is working fine.

couldn't have put it better myself,
+1 for this feature
also accents are not in the right order when using CM10 roms,
example : "SYM + e" should give => "é" as first choice not "è" with azerty frech settings (becaus "é" is used way more often) and this minor detail has a major impact on whether I use that rom or not...
thank you for the tip, but as long as there's no autocorrection on physical keyboard, for languages such as italian is very slow to write words with correct accents...
so if we could be able to run stock mini pro keyboard it would be great
