Since the system-requirements regarding firmware and baseband are the same across all custom ROMS you can safely say you had the firmware required when you got MiniCM9. Ofcourse you can't find the exact number you had anymore, because it's the version number of Android 2.1 Eclair, and not Android 4.0 ICS that you have now
You will lose all your contacts and other data like sms/mms messages, calendar entries etc. you had in your phone. For me, I always export the contacts to sd-card so i have them available after a fresh install, the rest is not important to me. Everything on your sd-card (like music, photos etc.) will still be available after a flash.
If other things are important to you, do a backup in CWM and later you can restore just the data, although this may give errors due to differences in the different Android versions.
Basically:
Put the ROM on your sd-card
Flash the nAa-Gb kernel to your phone
Boot into Recovery (CWM is included in the kernel)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
In the Advanced Menu:
Wipe Dalvik-cache and Wipe battery-stats
Back to Main Menu
Install zip from sd-card
Choose zip from sd-card
Select the MiniCM7 zip and select yes.
Wait...
Reboot...
Should you be stuck on the MiniCM7 logo for more than 5 minutes, Push Power and Home-buttons together, it will restart.
Get into CWM again and do all the wipes as mentioned before.
After that it will boot up to the home screen.
Good luck

Hard to say... Personally I like some of the innovative extra's GingerDX brings, like flip-to-snooze, or pickup-to-call (not to mention JB-styling), or, if you want a more Sony look-and-feel, try ArcMiniNxt for example, it all depends on your own preferences. But MiniCM7 is generally considered a no-fuss rock-solid ROM.

Hey, i used to get the reboot after a while in MiniCM so i decided to sort it out....
Heres how to do it...
First:
-Boot to xrecovery and do a factory reset
-Wipe cache partitions
-Wipe battery stats etc.
-Install MiniCM Beta 2
and no more reboots again.....
Hope it works for you
If you like my post, Thank me!
___________________________________________________________________
X10 mini: Mini CM Beta 2, Apps2SD, DC2SD, JIT enabled
Edit: Dont forget to backup your stuff using titanium backup or xrecovery
Or you can first flash to the stock baseband and start all over again....No need to do factory reset and all then...
yeah only problem that it is super user and prelink related...
and that is on your /system
if you installed the MiniCM ROM, and do all step of the manual (in header), you not do this. Be cause many people dont like read. And after install this ROM write to forum about bugs. If people do all steps - they dont have a error !
Before I start, I've been looking around the forums for the past 2 days and I couldn't find a definitive answer so I made and account and decided to post this
This is my first time trying to install a custom ROM. I'm trying to install the CM6 Froyo ROM and I'm a bit unsure of which version to download and how to install the hotfixes. I have xRecovery installed and a backup of the stock ROM and I'm not really sure where to go from there. If someone could give me a quick guide and explain which version to pick and how to install hotfixes I would be really grateful
I have the Mini Pro with 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW and the M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 baseband.
Thanks in advance.

This ROM is for the Mini Pro only
10. After you have your apps and data back make a new xrecovery backup and start checking overclocking, undervolting and optional fixes.
9. Reboot into xrecovery and make a backup of your new rom. Then you can start reinstalling your applications and restoring data.
8. Follow instructions in this post to adjust keyboard light and after you're done reboot again.
Keyboard Light and Automatic Display Info: Please see here
7. Reboot. First boot takes a long time. Be patient. When the new rom is up, i suggest you navigate to cm settings - performance settings - cpu settings and check max cpu frequency. If it is more than 600mhz, lower it to 600 until you finish setting up you phone. You can test higher values and undervolting later when everything is done. Reboot again.
6. Choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Build.Prop fixed thanks to Kewie
5. Choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Hacked Market thanks to shokmah and WLAN Hotfix thanks to bitmovel!!
4. Again choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Incoming Call Slider fixed
3. Choose install custom zip and navigate to the folder with your downloaded zips. Install rom.
MiniCM v3.0 MD5: 670EBE1826A66645A08437F190466E2A
2. Boot into xrecovery and do a factory reset to wipe everything (data, cahce, etc)
1. Backup your apps and data with titanium bacup.
0. Download version 3 rom and hotfixes from links in the steps above. Write down the names of the files. Print out instructions from step 8.

Here is how i do it. Read from bottom up.
That was exactly what I needed thank you! I will let you know how I get on
EDIT: Also just before I begin, I have a backup of my sms + contacts etc from the stock SE Backup and Restore app. Will this work on this ROM or what are my options? (I reflashed my phone to stock FW using SEUS so everythings gone, I only have the .sbf backup on my PC)
I'll wait for a reply before I flash this ROM 'cos I don't want to have done it only to find out I have to revert to stock to get all my contacts and messages back :/ lol
EDIT: Anyone?
I don't remember if this rom has se backup&restore app installed, but i think you can download it from se website.
Edit: I haven't used it, because i always keep my contacts on sim card and i didn't need to keep messages.
If you make an xrecovery backup of your se rom before you start installing custom rom, and then find out that you can't get you contacts&messages back, you can always use that backup to come back to se rom and it will have those contacts and messages.

I read somewhere that the apk won't install since it's not an official SE ROM? :/ So I'm not sure what to do. Anyone able to confirm or disconfirm this? If not, is there any other way to back it up before I install it?

Backup contacts using the stock backup option in the 'contacts' then backup sms using the 'sms backup and restore app' from market. Then flash new rom and install the sms backup app again and hit restore. I don't know if wil work because I only have the mini not the mini pro
Sorry for bad english

Ok, so I've flashed the custom ROM about 10 times now trying to get backups and messages accross lol. I got it to work, but 4500 messages being imported at once was causing some serious issues so I've just decided to leave the messages and I used a vCard backup to save my contacts and import them again . I understand a lot of stuff now about various things with ROM's Thanks to both of you for your help, it has really helped me get started
Great you managed to install it! Enjoy it!
The process for new roms coming with CWMrecovery shouldn't be too different, if you ever want to try those.
Thanks! Right now I think I'll stick with this ROM for the time being I bought Launcher Pro Plus and Widget Locker as well so I'm going to have some fun customizing this Btw you wouldn't happen to know the name of a widget, it's like a digital clock drawn with like pencils or something. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9300605&postcount=120
The clock widget?
I think that's beautiful widgets, but ask shivenjuneja, he might have customized it.
Yeah beautiful widgets checked a few screenshots and thats what it was! Also, I don't think shivenjuneja did customize it, I've seen it on a few screenshots looking like that, just no name D: lol Thanks Again!
Edit: Actually! It's weather widgets with the dirty paper skins! :O lol
Edit: Also, he must have edited or got it when it was for beautiful skins because the one now looks crap :/ bit of a waste, but thanks anyway :L
Here's what my phone looks like now
Nice! Great background! Slade has just released v4.0 of this rom that can be installed from xrecovery or cwmrecovery
I think i'll give it a try one of these days.
Thanks! I might give it a try maybe today or after these exams for the next two weeks D:
Some days ago, i want to move app folder in phone memory/data/ to my sdcard, i think that folder is not use so i move with root explorer, mount r/w to my sdcard, suddenly all my application was gone , android market and application installer were gone to
then I use android commander from my pc to install again the root explorer then move back the app folder then restart my phone after i restart my phone, my application not comeback except android market and application installer
My phone is xperia x10 mini pro, can you help me please, any help would be appriciate, sorry for my bad english
GOD BLESS US
when you move them back you need to set permissions.
the easy way is to go in xrec or CWM rec and select fix permissions i think is in advanced.
if this didnt work just install your rom again no need to factory reset just wipe dalvik and partition cache
@Eyama
Thank you, can you explain more detail, because i'm new in android, the application that missing also missing in phone menu, can xrec fix this ?
Thank you
GOD BLESS US
I see that you use Xrecovery.
so go in Xrecovery then go to advanced an select fix permissions (this wil give the right permissions to apps).reboot phone and see if you have al app back (you need them in system/app)
If this still didn't work
Go to Xrecovery and install custom rom again (that one you allready have and wipe dalvik cache and partition cache you have those options in Xrecovery) with selecting install custom zip (have that rom on your SD card) and you will get all apps back and working.
@Eyema
what you mean "(you need them in system/app)" ?
Thank You
GOD BLESS US
Oouuu sory i miss that you lost apps that were downloaded from market and hey are stored in data/app. am i correct?
so you have them back in there
then with root explorer go to that place data/app and press mount r/w
then press and hold on app and then select permissions.
change permissions to
x..x
x
x
do this to all app and then reboot
@Eyema
Yup, youre correct, application from market
Oh dear thank you....^_^
I fix permission with xrecovery and it worked for me....^_^
Thank you
Anyway, i use android commander and droid explorer to explore my phone from pc, but why the root access off ? can you help it ? when i googling that because the adb, i'm very confused with the adb, no adb guide can guide me....TT_TT
One more again thank you, thank you....^_^
Thank's GOD
GOD BLESS US
Well im glad that helped
well im not using anny of this so i can't tell you. and i dont't like adb
so the better way is to get right permissions with root explorer
have a nice day
@Eyema
Okay, thank you....^_^
Oh, i almost forget, when i hold menu in my phone, every running history application should has their icon right ? but why the application installer (for example) had no icon when i hold menu button (the icon appear green with android logo), can you help this ? and how to copy whole phone memory to pc or sd card, or maybe access whole phone memory from pc with root access to ? I use root explorer but not all from phone memory coppied
Thank You
GOD BLESS US
looks like the app doesn't have icon set for this i realy don't know. i think you cant copy the whole phone memory.
i never tried yet to copy from pc to phone memory i always copy from SD card or on it and with root explorer for permissions i think this is the safest way.
@Eyama
Okay, no problem thank you....^_^
this application has the icon set because before my trouble all application missing, when i press the menu button it has icon....^_^
Eyama, can you teach me about rom ? maybe i think i want to change my stock rom, what is freaking fast rom ? and my data and application will be lost if i use another rom ? if yes how to fix it? can you help me to copy/ backup my game save game, widget, and application master (apk) to sdcard or pc ?
Sorry i'm to many ask, thank you
GOD BLESS US
well then try to reinstall it
If you have Mini Pro than you can use this(only for mini pro not for mini)
the freaking fast rom is FroyoComb maded by D4.
yes you lose all data, applications, sms, mms, contacts
you can make backup for data, apps and save game with titanium backup i dont know how is with sms, mms and contact. i save them on pc with my phone explorer.
i you want to install custom rom first you need to see if you have right baseband like this:Baseband Required: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel Required: 2.6.29
you can see it in setting/about phone
then for froyocomb you nedd CWM Recovery not Xrecovery.
i recomended you to try everything with Mini Rom Maneger
it is the simpelest app for installing CWM recovery and downloadig custom rom via phone.
But it is good to have look on XPERIA X10 Mini Pro Android Development thread and you will see how it goes everything
@Eyama
Thank you, where is the best your currently rom or froyocomb ?
With your guide, my basebrand and my kernel same like what you write, ithink i cant back up sms, contact mms via backup and restore application from sony ericsson, what is cwm recovery is it no problem if i have xrecovey in my phone ? what is "freaking fast rom"? And how to insert profile picture and avatar in my xda profile ?
Thank you for your advice and guide, sorry for ask to many question....^_^
GOD BLESS US
click in my signature on name of rom
FroyoComb v1.5
CyaNoComb v1.1 and
CyaNo(R)Evolution v1.3
Yes u can backup with sony ericsson but you wont be able to restore it in custom rom.
so that's why you need to backup with difrent app.
for data and apps use titanium backup
for sms, mms, contacts use Backup everything you have this app on market for free.
CWM Recovery is improvment of Xrecovery
The easyest way to change from Xrecovery to CWM Recovery is to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361
You have 2 options for download in your case download MiniCM v5.0 Final Release | for xRecovery
when you install this rom you will get Cwm recovery with it.
for fraking fast rom i just wrote that beacuse this rom is realy fast in every thing (FroyoComb v 1.5)
For profile picture and avatar you all have in USER CP if something u don't know how to you have a guide:

Thank you, how about using mini rom manager like you said ?
With xrecovery in my phone, can i use mini rom manager like you said ? and how to use cwm recovery ?
Thank you
GOD BLESS US
well mini rom maneger is te app that you can download custom roms from xda
than you can install CWM recovery just by pressing button.
yes you can use rom maneger with xrecovery.
cwm recovery is basically just like xrecovery but is a litle bit improved and better.
@Eyama
Thank you, Are there any way to install cwm recovery like use apk ?
So to use cwm recovery must reboot phone and press back button like xrecovery ?
GOD BLESS US
yes there is download this rom MiniCM v5.0 Final Release | for xRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1059361
an put it on sd card leave it in .zip (do not unzip it or raname it)
when you are in xrecovery
select Full Wipe (factory reset)
then in advanced select wipe dalivk cache and battery stats
than select install custom zip
select chose custom zip from sd card and navigate to .zip
select the zip and wait to finish installation.
when is finished reboot phone
first boot will take a litle bit long so dont be afraid
after this you will have custom rom and CWM recovery.
Yes to use CWM recovery is the same way like xrecovery rebot and pressing back button or with custom rom you have an option to reboot into cwm rec. press and hold off button and then press reboot and chose recovery
@Eyama
Okay, thank you
If i want to use froyocomb ? so to do it ? mini rom manager will download dwm but it take charges....TT_TT any other way ?And how to backup widget ?
GOD BLESS US
well install this rom as i told you an you will get with cusom rom cwm recovery.
if you dint like MiniCM v5 rom you can download Froyocom v1.5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085607
and install it like you install in xrec
but alway when you are changing roms backup everything an than in cwm rec factory reset(ful wipe) then wipe dalvik cache and wipe partition cache
you cant backup widgets only you can backup app witch have widgets

Since you're already on 2.1, go to settings, then application settings, then development and enable debug mode on your phone, run the flash tool and click root, the tool will do every thing for you, when it reboots, choose ask root perms, then allow it on your phone to get superuser access, when that has been granted, the flashtool recovery option should be enabled, click on that and install recovery to your phone, you can then install the pre-rooted gb in the developtment forum and follow instructions to install a custom from from there also.

Sinse you are already on 2.1 you should try the EWJet rom,

In order to use link2sd, you'll have to partition your sd card, you don't necessarily need to do it, it's only done to save app space on the phone itself by installing the apps on the sd card, you can skip that for now, here's how to go about install ewjet rom.
Requirements:
1. Rooted 2.3.3 GB ROM
2. Xrecovery installed
3. SD card
Steps:
1. Choose the version of EWJET you would like to install, you said you already chose the SE Flavoured 2.3.4.x, so skip this step.
2. Download the patch all the way at the bottom, step 5 in his thread I think. You'll have a choice of kernel's to choose from, I recommend freekernel patch, it's stable and smooth.
3. Copy the patch and the ewjet main rom file to your phone's sd card root.
4. Make sure your phone is charged, at least 10% is okay, but I don't encourage that low battery level.
5. Reboot insto xrecovery
6. Wipe cache partition, do a full wipe (factory reset) and then go to advanced options and wipe dalvik cache.
7. Press back to the main menu, choose install custom zip.
8. Scroll down using the side buttons to the EWJET main rom zip file and select it.
9. Choose yes and install it.
10. Reboot the phone, give it a couple mins to boot up and settle down.
11. Reboot into xrecovery again.
12. Choose install custom zip once again, choose the patch zip you downloaded and install it, if it ends in an abort, don't worry, it's fine.
13. Wipe dalvike cache and reboot your phone.
14. Voila! You're all done, install your apps etc and go about using it as per normal.
You're all done, if you want to use link2sd, then say so and I'll walk you through that.
Works thanks!!!!
so i have just finished flashing through odin the latest version of siyah so as to get root+ cwm, i was hoping to get the classic CWM touch but instead i got a CWM-based recovery, is it still the same ? will it work as intended when flashing roms and all ? thanks.

Thanks joseky for ur reply, im experiencing one problem tho, i have just flashed cm9 stable to my galaxy s2 and i must admit i am pretty happy with it. However, lots of apps seem to be missing (like google play for example, i cant download any app)
any idea what could be going wrong ?
Oh and before i installed cm9 i wiped data/factory reset, i cant see any of my old applications now, but i can still see folders on my internal sd card that are called whatsapp, 9 gag, etc.
what should i do to remove ALL apps and start installing them from scratch ?

Oh and before i installed cm9 i wiped data/factory reset, i cant see any of my old applications now, but i can still see folders on my internal sd card that are called whatsapp, 9 gag, etc.
what should i do to remove ALL apps and start installing them from scratch ?

You were suppose to download and flash Gapps.
Visit CM9 thread again, you need to download Gapps (Google apps)
1. Download Gapps,
2. Boot to CWM recovery
3. Flash Gapps
4. Reboot phone
Problem solved!

Thanks ! oh and I want to start installing applications from scratch, i thought that doing a wipe data/factory reset would delete all directories from my past applications, but i can still see folders of my old apps such as whatsapp or 9gag or winamp on my internal memory, how can i delete them all ? Thanks ! i cannot see them on the app drawer though

## be very careful, some of the folders contain very important things from your previous activities.
1. Your download folder contains all your downloads from your browser
2. Your whatsapp folder contains your chat history
Etc.
Before you wipe your internal SD, I'll advise you to backup the ones you feel are important.
## To format your internal storage, follow these steps:
- Goto Settings - Storage,
- under your internal storage (size = 11.49G), Select ERASE SD
- confirm your action.

Great, I erased my sd card and problem solved, flashed gapps and got everything ...
Some questions which have nothing to do with this:
1) How can i get touch recovery ? just open up rom manager and tap "flash clockwork mod recovery touch"? or is there another better way to do this ?
2) Is there any way so that when i get a SMS or a missed call, something will notify me on the screen that i have a new sms or missed call ? (i had this on stock ics, but when i flashed cm9 it just dissappeared.). Reason i need this: Sometimes i dont hear my ringtone and it is kind of annoying to have to unlock and bring down the notification bar just to check if i have something new.
Thanks, Currently on a Gt-I9100 running cm9 stable

1. Never use ROM manager on your phone. In fact, Disable or Remove the app at once. It is a very risky app, which has led to brick on many Galaxy S2 already.
# If you want touch recovery, you can flash Siyah kernel, Dorimanx kernel or Dream kernel. they all come with touch recovery.
2. Use a third party launcher. The default launcher (Trebuchet) lack this feature.
Holo launcher HD, Apex launcher Nova launcher, Go launcher EX, etc all have this function implemented

Thanks for the tip of uninstalling rom manager from my device !
1) cant i just download the cwm touch from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and just flash it through my current non-touch CWM ?
2) I thought such a simple feature was integrated onto the rom but ok, i'll try those options.
oh and is there anyway to go back to my stock ics keyboard ? the buttons and letters are kind of small on cm9.
thanks
Thanks

1.
You may use that. It should work fine but I must tell you that I've never used that method before. I always use custom kernels
2.a. that's because the launcher in development by the CM team.
b. If you are looking for Samsung keyboard, You can't have. Sorry about that but there are better keyboard apps in the market with some of them having the option to change the theme to the Samsung keyboard style.
