GingerDX 28b port to x10 mini pro? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello!
Since the x10 Mini Pro has only the GingerDX v21 port, i thought that maybe someone could port the v28b? There have been many changes since v21, so i guess it would be cool to give more people the opportunity to archive it. I'm using the v28b on my x8 and would like to install it on my friends phone, because he's not good with phones and i would be able to help him more, when we will have the same ROMs on our phones .
What do you guys think? And is there anyone who knows how to port a ROM and who can and will make it ?

I am using GingerDX v28b on my X8 and developers of the ROM said that they will take a break during the holidays, so i guess there won't be many new updates of the ROM untill September or October.

As far as I'm aware Stelios97 was working on it, but he is one very busy dev, currently working on getting JellyBean to work

Themes

Hi guys
Im back, been a while without XDA devs, but scored a mini pro at work...
I see there is so much themes roms and stuff......
I updated to stock 2.1 v 1
Where can i find nice themes? Or is there a ROM anyone will recommend?
I do not want to brick the device, or loose functionality?
I read the stickies, but seems like the custom ROMS is not fully funtional?
Thanks guys!

[Q] New Xperia X10 Mini Pro upgraded to 2.1.1

HI all,
I upgraded my x10 mini pro to 2.1, i have not done any modification for my phone apart from that . I want to customize my phone as much as it can be done(rooting,kernel and stuff).
Please guide me to make my phone interesting.
P.S:- U can term me as a lame guy when it comes to mobiles
Thanks
Actually all of those tutorial has been posted in here, just give it a look around & ya will found it.
Just try using it for rooting and installing xrecovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136&highlight=script) and to install custom roms, download what do you want, I recommend MiniCM7 Pro by paul-xxx.
As of currently, no full custom roms are possible. Only roms which are based on the stock kernel as the bootloader is locked tight and we have almost succeeded bypassing it, I believe.

Flash new mini rom on old mini?

Hi,
when I posted this, I did not see a thread on this already, so no attacking!!
I'm sure it's been looked at, I don't think it's novel, but what would happen if you flashed the new SE Mini rom on the old mini? Why would it break? (I'm guessing) because it's just a rom. Would we need to see the new mini get a custom kernal (has it already?) with inbuilt recovery? then flash kernal with recovery then new mini rom?
If posting this, an existing post did not come up, then maybe this hasn't been discussed? Just trying to learn, no attacking....
I don't understand, do you wan't to update or what?
Assuming you mean the 2010 X10 Mini pro and the 2011 Mini Pro, then surely it won't work because the hardware is different (even though the form factor is same/similar).
Yeah I mean update the 2010 Mini with 2011 Mini ROM.
I know some of the hardware is different, but why is it not possible? 2011 Mini now has a battery, faster processor and more RAM...but that really stops a ROM being flashed? SE in their 2011 ROMS still use Android...they just skin it and add a few apps. Why couldn't we at least pluck things out, if not copy/imitate/directly flash such a ROM?
We already have Gingerbread working on the old U20i, so what would you be trying to do? Re-invent the wheel?
You'd need to find/write new drivers for the hardware, which is currently the stalling point with porting ICS on this device.

There it is...that's it...gingerB is avail. on CyanoG. Mind you, notice the pattern of people moving away from official SE stuff for a long time, anything but SE, now look at the forum, full of threads about how to get Arc/X10/Neo/New mini stuff. Apparently the demand is there.
I'm using E10i, I've no idea what roms are available for U10i/20 etc.

is the cyanogen mod stable/recommendable for xperia mini?

Hello community, this is my first post. I'm no complete noob. I 'm coming from the symbian s60v5 modding community. Now I own an xperia mini and would like to know if the cyanogen mod is stable and recommendable for it.
Btw: Is German supported by the cyanogen mod?
yesterday I test Cynogenmod 7 (CM7) and install it on Xperia Mini Pro but I got some problem such as:
> touchscreen not working
> bootloop (yes, I already clear the cache / data / system in CWF but still-)
so I will say 'no' because its still unstable
most of cyanogenmods have bugs. i have used it in my x10 mini pro. i'd no recomment it because xperia mini have 1ghz processor + 512 mb ram which run hvga screen. you dont need to overclock it. + androjd version is latest. so better stick with stock rom
Thank you. Maybe the Cyanogen 9 will be better. What about the FXP - Project? Any experiences with that? What mod are you using? Or do you use stock rom?
i m using stock and pretty satisfied with it.
FXP is also based on cyanogenmod.
We still have 3 newer firmwares from Sony (4.0.2.A.0.58 , .61 , .62 that not have yet been released worldwide. And in 3 months official Android 4 is coming. Why bother with unofficial ones? What are the benefits ?
On older X10 mini was logical because Sony didn't upgrade past android 2.1.

agreed
and also sony ericssons stock rom is best looking rom in my opinion
Maybe you are right. Sounds all pretty logic. Is it possible to OC the CPU? Is it dangerous?
(I think I need to mod something. I 'm addicted to that. Even Symbian was crap, I could do a lot of modding with it. It was easy and it was fun. I 'm unsure if I would be able to sit on stock and wait for ICS)
What about languages and keyboard that has always been a big problem in symbian modding. How is that here?

yes you can overclock but only in custom rom. thats not dangerous if you know the limits . but right now people are experiencing some problems with custom kernels like screen doesn't responds after flashing a custom kernel. so you better skip it for now.
dont know about what do you meant by keyboard and languages but that's never been a problem to me.

[Q] Installing X8 stock rom on X10 mini pro

Hi,
I have been porting roms for sometime now from the X8 development section to my X10 mini pro. Mostly they are GB or JB roms using naA kernel. But whenever i am trying to port roms made for X8 stock kernel to my device, i am not able to succeeI would like to understand if it is possible to do so?
If yes, can someone let me know which part of system folder should i have to concentrate on. I am still noob in this development world and trying to learn this way.
So please excuse me if someone is not pleased with my approach.
