As many of you might have noticed, I've been pushing lots of MiniCM sources the last days. ICS is done and JB is on its way.
I'd like to take this opportunity and invite other developers or members that would like to contribute patches to do so. We already have some people contributing code for MiniCM and I would like to see more joining in. The code is available at: https://github.com/MiniCM
Why do this now?
This arch is reaching its limit as far as android development is concerned and there is too much ROM fragmentation for an old phone like this.
I know that most of the ROMs around are already using MiniCM binaries or sources and I'm ok with that. However, now is the time to consider contributing back and helping this project.
MiniCM is a fork of CM dedicated for these old phones. Notice that we are never gonna have official CM support, this is actually the cause that MiniCM serves
Licensing
I decided to keep my modifications Apache licensed. This is what gave android such a rapid development and I'd say has proven successful so far
I'd like to see this thread being used for Development ideas and solutions. NOT by user spamming (which will get you banned soon anyway since this thread is mod-monitored - you've been warned).
Reserving for build instructions
I can try to do option for disable/enable display button, but i'm not sure that i can do it
Lets keep this thread clean and on topic, as the OP has requested
We (the mods) will have a close eye on things, so lets not have any nonsense :good:

Oooppss, hour of my time wasted Cyanogen guys are fast
FAQ of course
and remember, for each version (miniCM7,9 and 10) there is a dedicated FAQ
that you can find here
I have a little idea. Many users of X8 and X10 Mini/Mini Pro uses stock kernel and can't unlock bootloader. I tried to make an addon to boot MiniCM7 based ROM's on stock, but still without success. With your help, nobodyAtall and other users, we can make such addon. I'm too unexperienced yet to do this by myself. What are your thoughts?

Hi eagleeyetom,
Unfortunately stock kernel is VERY outdated to be usable in modern ROMs (e.g. gingerbread onwards).
In essence, one would have to replace the kgsl system to get the graphics to work decently with latest adreno blobs. Also I'm not sure if usb would be working since this too is outdated.
Other things to note: RAM (175MB if I remember correctly) is desperately low for modern Android versions, performance would also not be good enough for daily use. Kernel-side, I'm doing my best to boost performance as much as possible by backporting almost all of the main components that android uses from later versions.
All in all, for gingerbread it would be possible with serious performance sacrifices which I'm not willing to accept (even as a user). For ICS/JB, just forget it.
Perhaps a good project would be to make bootloader unlocking work for recent devices...
I understand your concerns and also think that stock is utter piece of crap, but it's still worth a shot. Such universal patch would improve development to our old shakiras. Your MiniCM is way better than official CM - really great job. Even with these bugs you've mention it's better than spent cash to unlock bootloader. I really admire the work of Alf and you - it's amazing to have such modern kernels to over-two-years-old devices.
Worse performance is a fact, but the ability to use almost every CM7 ROM on stock is tempting. This would be a great contribution to our small community.
P.S. I also think that you should have Elite Recognized Developer title. Such good work should be appreciated.

I see what you mean. Gingerbread compatibility is feasible BUT is gonna be pretty slow - in fact REALLY slow compared to MiniCM7.
We try to give a top quality ROM, so if this would ever happen it would be like a flashable zip and totally unsupported
I hope a lot pf devs will join the development. Cause everybody is working alone and if you all work together, it will bbe better for you and all ROM users. You'll develop quicker and easier.

I think it is possible, you can try it yourself, because you are able to change the recovery of the Kernel
actually it's possible. you just need to change the recovery file in the ramdisk with the one from JBMiniProject kernel or with one you compiled.

i think sauron should work on a cm7 port and base his future work on cm7
what wider range then with cm you could have you would profit from much more developers (userspace and some kernel work for sure too) and we would be faster on updates from google and completly independent(well not 100%) from soon stopping asus support
if we want to gain some life for our gen8 this is imo the last chance we have.

@Lennb:
Why are there so many cars when a xyz is doing ok?
Because everyone has other needs, other opinions and other wishes.
So if you want to stay with Uruk, fine.
If someone wants MIUI.11 or CM19 ported it is his wish.
And if he is willing to pay for his wishes, than let him.
@gbohm:
€10 from me
my worry with urukdroid is that it is still based on archos because userspace stuff isn't open sourced, so the experience stays.
with cm you can work on every part of the "rom" the possibilities are a lot bigger.
you can't compare a modded rom with a custom kernel to a full blown aosp implementation.
i think sauron makes a wonderfull job but he is working on a platform with a short life span, cm is here to stay and with any new dev it will get better.

Wrong.
As stated often before we have the sde, which allows us to install another kernel.
If someone would implement one with nandroid features, scriptingsupport and second boot we have the recovery.
There is no need to break anything.
And juts o get CM working that is not even needed.

Yes it got cracked. BUT no developer in his right mind is going to use that crack.
If you apply the crack the possibility of bricking your device is growing exponentially because there is no fallback position available.
Other android devices have fastboot or sd card boot out of the box.
Archos has neither so if you patch the boot0 and avboot and the next time the user wants to install a stock firmware there is a big possibility the device will be bricked if that firmware updates only one of the two boot loaders.

You can't tell people what they want.
You can only listen to them. They're willing to PAY money to get a CM7 port. That means that they're pretty set on one.
I would like a port too and I'm willing to put up $20 for someone to port over clockworkmod and another $20 for a stable CM7 build.
CM7 would be WAYYYYY faster than Uruk or any other manufacturer firmware. Have you SEEN how slow the Archos Gen 8 tablets can be? Something OBVIOUSLY doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Nothing with a 1GHZ snapdragon processor that runs Android 2.2 should fall so behind in nearly every task it takes on.
Not to mention that 256 mb of ram should be more than enough.
20$ from my side too, for stable CM7+ on archos 101
thank you i hope that we will raise some money to attract a dev who could buy himself an archos and get it paid from us after he build cm

after trying almost every rom around here, my humble answer is the stock rom 2.1.1.A.0.6. it's solid, very fast and very stable. you can do a little retouching in order to reshape it, so it fits easily your needs for sure.
still, i think i'll try the new updates of minicm 7, if they can cope with the camera problem and some other little bugs.

yes, you can change the launcher, use what you want. actually, imho, 4 corners is a very nice idea. similarly, most of the launchers have 4 or 5 buttons at the bottom. but, one widget per page is really horrible. you can't put shortcuts too. so, i use launcher pro
I used all MiniCM roms.. But, i have experienced many Bugs, crashes, unresponsiveness... So, atlast, reverted to SE.. Nothing beats the Stability of SE 2.1 in anyway..... This is only my point of view.. Its upto you..

Even though Minicm 6 and Minicm 7 have various of bugs, but both of these roms can still be considered stable and will not cause too much problems in daily uses. Its a great success breakthrough from the xda's developers to create these two roms and we should appreciate as we can get it FREE ! It good to try 2.2 and 2.3 on the mini's as its no hope to get an updates on the stock rom~ =(

i think you evaluated our opinions so differently, even wrong.
it's not about paying, either how valuable or how important developers' works are. there are lots of people, can pay for custom roms. samsung has started to send their new models to the freelance developers.
we didn't judging custom roms or their developers, i personally have a really big respect for the developers and their works, i appreciate them. if a custom rom were more stable than the official one i'd use it. moreover, i'd pay for it. if 2.0 were more stable than 2.1, i'd use it too.
speaking of the problems, you're saying "not cause too much problems in daily uses". according to which criteria? are you a businessman, am i an fbi agent, how much phone calls we do, are we users of twitter or facebook?
do we need to clarify "stability" or "more stable"?
everybody has own expectation about a phone. for instance, i like very much minicm6's boot animation, but the boot screen is somewhere at the bottom of my expectation list. if i experience some troubles as i speak on the phone, it's a very big deal for me.
similarly, i think f1 cars are incredible, but i don't use one of them, i can't. an f1 driver doesn't want my car too.
i chose x10 mini, neither desire, nor iphone. everybody has own preferences lists and we must respect them.
cyanogen mods, minicms, f1 cars, htc desire, iphone, official se rom, they are all wonderful products. best regards to their creators.

you can download the latest official software from support section @ sonyericsson.com. probably you get a file like Update_Service_Setup-2.11.6.12.exe about 40mb. then you can install it via pc. before that, you should backup your personal data of course.
In my opinion the most stable is original 2.1.1.A.0.6 or the newest "C", because the camera app and radio app.
If you want better camera and radio app use original SE with JIT and remove apps, patch with UnderVolting module and mddi fix (i think that is not needed but...)
If you want the highest 3d score and quadrant -> minicm6
If you want more 3d score than original but lower than minicm6 and better battery duration and stable -> minicm7
Then this is for me the stable list (most on top):
-SE 2.1.1.A.0.6 or "C" version
-MiniCM7
-MiniCM6
it's my opinion.
I'm trying to do a Frozen Eclair (froyo VM on eclair) but i don't now how, there is may roms with that on moto.

Hello People, I'm Moon And trough my world of android have i gotten lowend devices for own use. i love them because they're so cheap and still Great.
I have come from the GT540 Optimus to the ZTE blade and now the x8,
(I kept the Blade trough.) I am a big fan of Racht and his sense ports, what i want to ask you people for, since Racht seems to have disappeared should we do what developers and friends of him do. We finish what he started.
Most important is currently The GL Drivers I think, Maybe some RAM Management. The free ram is very low. (about 40\50mb) This causes Rosie to reload after coming from other apps. this would be cool to fix.
I asked XDA MEMBER # Kenia1234 (he ported it to the SGS)
About 3d\open gl and wifi. this was his reply.
however as regards 3D I fixed it using my device's libs under system/lib/egl or under /vendor/lib/egl and of course using a CM7 powered kernel...
as regards the wifi, it's a little bit more complicated...you'd need to have the bins of your device under /system/bin and the firmwares all in order, as the kernel wants to...
hope this was useful!!

I See, Thanks for Providing this information to the masses.
The Ray is the best Choice after the Arc, For me, Since i like big screens.
But yes. Lets just hope for the best. the Guy i updated on, (On the op) is doing GB sense too. We should let Racht Rest and hope for the best.
In racht's last Sense Port there is a lot of bugs. I really love that rom but it has a lot of bugs.
I was without SIM Card and in the Notification Bar it was showing that i used %S(something like this) tries for the unlock key and blablabla.
SD Safe to remove bug in ROOT Apps
I tried to connect the phone to my car radio and it doesn't show anything in the phone, only the icon changed to charging, but no led, no popup for connecting, nothing. And the radio does not recognized the phone. (i think it will happen the same in the computer, i think)
3d, wifi, 3G and vibra not working, as it shows on the original topic
So this is what has to be worked on
I cannot help you so much because i'm not a good java developer, i can only understand some parts of the code, but i cannot write it. But if you want a beta tester i'm here to try to find the maximum bugs i can
I will love if someone could continue what Racht did
I am following the news.
As I have said some months ago, X8 is now added to official CM tree, you can see here :
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira
So, I guess thats the end of CM story (even that I prefer tweaks by doixanh).
Sense rom depends on kernel features that do not work on .29 kernels.
See HTC threads, all new roms require .32 or .35 kernels, lets hope X8 will get a new kernel ported.
And thanks again for support

Blagus said that we have to port HTC kernel first, but it's .32 or newer kernel. We have only .29 now. Therefore it follows that we can't have sense on X8 now.

is stable but not complete!
It´s just the FXP 030, AFAIK.
Hi,
I'm really sorry for starting a topic like this, but this forum/subsection is really so cluttered...
I'm just looking for a stable, light, snappy ROM. A ROM which has proven it's worth. As little bugs as possible, no experimental features!
And also a kernel which fits best.
I would like like all hardware functions of my phone to keep working though:
Camera/Video, hardware keyboard/lights, vibrate, tactile feedback, etc...
Grtz!
No probs brov........
For ROM:-
NeroDroid Universal ROM- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458963
For Kernel:-
1. X Kernel- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451150
2. Rage Kernel- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910
Enjoy brov...........

You will get a bunch of different answers as each rom runs differently depending on set up and apps. To be honest looking for a rom in a development forum and you will always find things to be experimental. XDA is not about finding stable bug free roms. It is about learning and development.

I don't entirely agree. My previous phone was a HTC Desire, there were a lot of experimental ROMs, but also a lot of stable running ROMs.
I agree that most ROMs will always be a little experimental. But there's experimental and experimental ... If you know what I mean
What I'm trying to say is, I would like to have a ROM which is made by someone who really knows what he's doing and not just some barely tested ROM which will crash every 5 seconds
As for me, i havent try another ROM on my phone cos most has Bug.... have been using NeroDroid ROM since i bought my phone & i havent for once regret dat!!! i keep praying for tha Developer every blessed day for making a wonderful ROM!

I understand that but really this is development forum for developers to try out things that may cause issues or even brick a device if you don't understand exactly what your doing. This always has been and always will be the case. Just be happy that the devs even offer fixes unlike a few years ago when it was up to the users to dug in and fix issues they come across. Flashing custom roms should never be taken with a grain of salt or done cause people think it is cool or fun. We all should be hear to learn. If your not learning something when flashing then it really is a waste if time.

I understand yhu brov..... its a Development Zone, yhu create something & others test den drop feedbacks & yhu try to improve on it... but some still have bugs even though its an update of tha former.... Also its not easy formatting & customizing tha phone back, thanks to titanium backup for restoring of apps!

I have some knowledge about the proces of flashing roms/customizing phones. I just had more for my previous phone. Everything is a little new for the minipro.
That's also the reason I'm looking for a lite ROM, less potential problems to encounter
if u want really a light rom u could try pro-x rom, it is not posted here in xda, but if u type it on google u could find it on that guy website
nice, will check that one out also
In my opinion if you want a light & stable ROM you should stick with stock ROM. Thats what I have done. I just removed all the bloatware and unnecessary crap that I will never use, it has the best battery life and you don't really have to worry about it crashing. Also, I used Rage Kernel as it provides amazing battery life. To make my life easier I installed extra MODs that are essential. Just look at my signature for all the stuff I have installed.

You're right, but I would like to go one step further, I would also (maybe) like to get rid of the Sony apps. Like the Sony launcher, text-app, ... and start using the android default apps.
Is this also possible to remove those system apps from the stock rom?

Yeah, if you are rooted you can do anything you want! That's what I have done, I removed most Sony stock apps and replaced them with the 1s CyanogenMod supplies (which is stock). Some apps I kept the same due to they look nicer!
To be exact, the only thing I changed was the Phone, Contacts & Messaging apps. Everything else I kept the same
me and the best rom so far http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626346

Interesting, thanks.
Do you just remove rhese apps with Titanium? Or using Flashtool? Or any other method?
And what are 1s CyanogenMod supplies?

The ones, that are CyanogenMod.
The apps from CyanogenMod ROMs
And indeed, ICS ROMs are not fully stable yet, still have some bugs there and there.

Oké lol, was looking for "1s cyanogen" on google, couldn't find anything
PRO-X ROM is Great!!!

Thanks for the lead. The PRO-X [ROM] is working great in my Mini Pro (SK17i)
BTW, it is now posted on this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639720
I tried three different ROMs in the last one week before settling on this one.
Cyanogenmod 7.1.02 - Didn't work, faced the boot loop problem.
MIUIv4 2.4.6 - Nice UI, but phone felt sluggish and video play was jerky.
4.0.2.A.0.69 Generic (PreRooted) with 66 Baseband - Camera flash was not working.
But finally, PRO-X gives me everything I want - a light, snappy rom with fully functional hardware and no bugs (so far). Had it for two days now.
==> Rage Kernel v2.8 + Baseband 64 + PRO-X v2.2 ROM
Cheers.
(ADMINS: I know that I can be banned because os this... but I believe that it's a relevant question for this development/users community.)
But should we kindly ask stelios97 and nobodyAtall to merge their efforts to create a single kernel and a single ROM for our minis?
It would rock without any doubt.
What do you think?
Why do u think tat way. Its great we have seperate kernels. This way user can choose wat we want n customise accordingly. Ask for new roms nt this

Because:
- the time and effort that everyone can give to this type of projects its not infinite.
- we see things working on 1 kernel or ROM and not working on the other.
- they are even using for example the same code base but creating 2 different versions without sharing all the improvements (for example the home button to turn on the light in the nobodyAtall ROM that's not implemented in the one from stelios).
More kernels/ROMS, more options to choose. True.
I would prefer only 1 kernel/ROM with more quality that I can customize with my prefered apps.
Oh...come' on, We have DIFFERENT ANDROID VERSIONS here! We must have different kernels for different android versions. Try running a gingerbread kernel on jellybean, I bet it won't even boot, (If you do that, please tell me to laugh at you! :laugh: ). Another one reason is that every developer spends time for development according to their life, they are not getting paid for their contribution. So enjoy their work as long as they continue contibuting and stop asking insane questions, they won't even happen, so try to read some things first before posting!

I didn't write that because it's obvious for me and didn't want to insult the brains that are working on this. _
I'm thinking about 1 kernel/ROM for each android version (2.3, 4.0, 4.1).
i don't want to insult anyone or offend his work... But this thing is impossible cause if you see just the history of our two main developers from theit beginning and digg up their work and effort, what they have achieved and how, you'll see that there is no connection between them... It's just two different kind of developers... Everyone who is fast and really watches this device's development understood what i said above!!!
oh so you mean one series of ROMs like MiniCM. you have it alread - MiniCM. as for kernel, you have nAa ICS and also GB kernel. so this thread is basically pointless. no offence intended.
i voted for yes it would be awesome if they would create one super cool rom
but the final decision its up to them

I agree. I see awesome thinks on both ROMS... everything in a single ROM? I agree... Super cool!
is a good idea, let the devs answer us about what they think of this. Separately, they are good, but together...

And they are even from the same country... That would make it even easier to work together.
You are right there is many roms and kernels unfinished and unoptimized that merging the work could end in stable and optimized rom
