Hi,
I have Galaxy Nexus and flash it a lot. So I'm not newbie.
But I'm a total newbie once we talk about X10 Mini.
What are the most important things I must do with my Mini?
- CWM? Is there a cwm for mini?
- Titanium?
- Tweaks/tools/apps for speed and performance?
I want to stay with stock ROM.
Thanks for tips.
You flash Android on one divace but you newbie on Android on other divace hmmm
Whell if you wanna stick to Stock :
1.JIT
2.oc/uv module
3. fake DT
4.zipalign
that's it . You cant do much on 2.1 anymore - you keep the best - Camera and Radio and that's all . There no G-play for it you got few apps left on Market which is still support 2.1 and that's it. You can use A2SD via SDext2 from G-play.
spoken in 2 words - Camera and Radio =2.1
Android 2.1 on our small beasts is like driving a tank and shooting out the barrel with a pistol.
It can do so much more

Hi bro welcome to X10 Mini Forum, My tips for you is to Root Your X10mini, Install CWM, unlock the bootloader of it then flash a kernel and rom for it and also use V6 supercharger By Zep and Seeder(flashable zip) By Ryuinferno
that is my tip for u
PS: What is the manufacturing date of your x10 mini??? 2010 or 2011???
For Tools Search it here at XDA
superoneclick(Phone Rooter)
xrecovery(xrecovery will automically upgrade if you flash a new kernel)
flashtool(For Flashing Kernel And Stock Rom/Kerne)l
For ROMS
GB- MiniCM7 2.2.1 By nAa (recommended)
ICS- AOSP Ported by stelios
JB- Any JB Rom You want(only in this forum)
Thanks guys!!
I've got so much info in those three posts.
Let me chew everything now.
Thanks!
Hi!!!
Thanks for your replies. I did almost everything. And my wife's phone rocks now !!!
Root + unlock boot loader + nAa kernel + CWM (came with kernel) + MiniCM7 2.2.1 By nAa = DONE
Q:
1. Do I need v6 supercharger on top of miniCM7? Is there a thread for X10 mini how to install that V6 supercharger correctly and get most of it?
2. Seeder? This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032 ??? Anything specific for X10 mini?

1. V6 supercharger is great for multitasking, no matter what rom. You just have to install busybox and run the v6 script from smanager (search on play store).
2. Seeder is mostly for heavyweight gamers, and not really suited for daily use, as, in my experience, it drains the battery.

1. Is busybox which was installed during rooting process with flashtool enough? Or should I download busybox from the Play Store?
2. No gaming planned. So I'm skipping this.

Hello all,
I have an X8 but I need to get to know about x10 mini pro because of a friend of mine.
Which is the best way to root it, to install xRecovery (or something like that, which one do you guys use in Mini pro?), and which is the best and stable ROM for X10 Mini Pro (which is the most stable? 2.2 or 2.3?).
If there is any tutorial already, please post in this topic a link to it.
Thank you.
i allways use this way for root and xrecovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324
or this app for xrecovery and cwm recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128854
you will need CWM recovery for install custom roms (Xrecovery is allmost history)
for now the most stable roms are 2.2 and they are:
CyaNo (R)Evolution & CyaNoComb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132063
Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM) - v5.0 Final Release Reuploaded
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361
FroyoComb v1.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085607
and 2.3 rom:
Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 based on MiniCM for MiniPro (v15.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041099
I would suggest using CyaNoComb 1.1 it is very stable and the battery usage is very low
Also for installing CWM recovery the easiest way is by using the app made by D4arkenessys
To root it use superoneclick root for the pc
Just google it and download it
Sent from my mini pro running CyaNoComb by d4
Thanks guys, but can't I use FlashTool for rooting and installing recovery?
yes you can do with flashtool

Is any other way of installing cwm recovery besides that app? cuz the app is not working for me, gave it su rights but it stucks on Log's Initializing... I click on the buttons but no diference
search a litlle in thread of that app there is one post how to make it work
**Just a little something to consider , we have a small device clocked only at 600MHz any firmware after GB is really pushing it. I recommend that you use nAa's GB rom with his kernel. Best performance and long lasting battery life. But thats just me.
I will add the new roms that came out recently soon.
For noobs:
Root - Rooting you phone means (in simple terms) you own all functionality of you phone, you gain administration rights on you phone.
Custom Rom - These are tweaked/modified roms which are most likely add more functionality e.g. better apps, faster UI etc.
xRecovery/CWM - Allows you to install custom roms and do many other things.
Kernel - Enables communication between software and hardware. Look at it this way if you are able to understand someone better than another person you will be able to do what is asked, it is the same with the kernel(To understand why to have a custom kernel).
To install custom rom:
1)Download a custom rom and place in sd card.
2)Root phone.
3)Install recovery.
4)Reboot phone and tap the back button to enter recovery.

Hello, Bashy
Today is a my holiday, so I tried StornMix V2 with each stock kernel & ZombiePanic kernel already.
It's almost faster and smooth and works well for me without any big problems.
+ When install with ZombiePanic v1.63, little bit difficult. So I tried few times with each different patterns.
But, I'm sorry... I forgot which way to got a success
However, I got a feeling like instability at just only sometime, but I really can't identify the where it came from...
And I think, may have little problem to visual of character by the background of the theme .
So maybe the theme change to little more simple to be much better.
Anyways, I think StornMix V2 is wonderful rom and I can see the good future of this rom.
I think if you want got a more good thoughts, should be wait to next version.
I had sense of anticipation to this rom
Bashy'
thanks for adding my rom to this page.

But before you do it I recommend you add a Tutorial like How to Install custom ROMs....What are the benefits.....How to Root....(Something like where to START form exactly...and what a noob need.....) would be nice....
I'm saying this from my personal experience....It wasn't that easy for me when I bought my mimmi......

I've not used MiniCM7Pro coz I have the mini not mini pro ( x10 mini ) and that is for the pro (The One with hardware keyboard ) So, if you have the pro go for the MiniCM7Pro v21 Final coz it has to bug free or very less bugs, I think so go for the later version if u have u20a or u20i or else u have to use the Mini CM 2.1.9 as I am using..Hope I have helped you......
i'm using MiniCM7-2.1.9
it's great rom
Hi,
I am using MiniCM7 2.1.9 since months, and what I can say is that latest version has not bug and it is fast....what expecting more ?
I'm using CM7 2.1.9 too. The latest kernel by Nobodyatlall simply amazing because it has ICS transition and the rom is by far the best for X10 mini device. Furthermore, my friend simply try to install Ungaze Data2sd and this makes it has plenty of internal memory (the script add up the ext partition internal storage).
I tryed both of them and what I can say (without any bad feeling toward anyone) MiniCM7-2.1.9 is more completed and bug free (I found 0) than MiniCM7Pro (problems with tethering and hot-spot, no possibility fo switch on-off flash-light from power widgrt in task bar.. and probably more).. Anyway probably the only one advantage is use of Go Ex Louncher that I use.. Performance is equal based on a subective feelings but not measured via benchmark (I do not believe them..) In case You have specific questions feel free to ask.. I hope to be able to answer You
i use this [ROM] GingerDX | is CM7 2.1.9 too with more stuf

Problem number 1:
This is the mini forum, not the mini pro forum.
Problem number 2:
You posted in DEVELOPMENT section just to ask which rom is better. Next time, post in the Q&A. development is, as the name obviously states, only for Android development(new roms, kernels etc)

I had MiniCM7 from V7-V21 about 4 months, all in all, great rom, BUT if you have unlocked bootloader, MiniCM7-2.1.9 + Kernel nAa-11 definitely this rom. Its much more responsive, faster, stable,no bugs (mine clocked 768mhz is flying),and its fully updated...
Just hit Thanks...
Hi
I've got quick question:
Since I can't unlock bootloader (11w43) and instal custom kernel (or maybe there is any way to do that...? ;>), which ROM is fastest and most stable? I've tried few roms and if You know something better than GingerDX it would be cool
I'm asking, becouse there are no modules for GDX on web and it's kinda lack of funcionality :/

Afeter one day testing: mCM7 is great aat performance and battery uptime, but I've got one problem: I can't install PowerAMP and Unlocker due to insufficient memory, and these are first apps I'm installing... Also changing default installation destination to SD card via adb terminal didn't helped with that, so... It's time to buy winamp
I can't find any issues with insufficient space in the ROM's dev thread, in fact, one guy says he had installed about 89 apps... I wouldn't buy WinAmp just yet if you have a problem with installing apps.
I vaguely remember having read something about an issue like that, but the solution escapes me, mainly because i haven't experienced it myself... There should be enough app-space on your data-partition to install at least a couple of applications, maybe a full wipe or maybe format /data in CWM (mounts and storage menu) will clear your problem.

Hello !
i have X10 MINI with CM7 and i want to install the CM10
i got some Q about the CWM and the Room
1. Say now I have CM7 and I want to install CM10
And I have BACKUP Save in CWM his
So I can just when I want to go back to CM7 with all the content that was to come?
2.Dose the CM10 is still BETA ??
i read in a web-sit that the camra and the rdio dont work...
3. some 1 can give me a update Version of the room AND KERENal

that bring my the BETA
(Soory for bad english)
THX!
1 - YES, you can recover back via CWM your backup CM7 - but before it you have to flash nAa kernel (instead of JB kernel) and in CWM wipe data and some more things - just read carefully the thread about CM10)
2 - all costum roms are still in developement and still improving, so you can use them, but they are not bugs-free and some of them not for day-2-day use (much bugs)
3 - why you cant go to developement section and download it from there? xD
