Hi, I'm back here after a number of years with my Xperia Play, I need some help flashing/rooting/modifying my Xperia Mini Pro to the latest version of Android.
I have many questions, the main reason I want to upgrade is to get the latest apps only available with newer versions of Android such as Vine.
Are there any stable ROMs that anyone could recommend specifically for the Xperia Mini Pro? As far as I know the version of android I'm running (2.3.4, kernel v 2.6.32.9-perf, 4.0.2.A.0.62 build) has not been touched, do I begin with rooting before flashing? Also, how do I go about backing up my data?
First of all, there's no best rom like stated here
If you want official ics, flash the stock ics rom and root it using this tool

Hi, I was wondering if there are any custom roms for xperia mini pro sk17i which can be flashed on the stock kernel so that I wouldn't need to unlock bootloader. If so, please post links to them. Any help is appreciated.
It's not possible as far as I know.
no such rom(s) avialable for now
Hello, I have a S1 with ICS 4.0.3 Official firmware, I want to root it but after searching in the threads I couldn't find any solution, it seems like there is not root available for official ICS D:, So I decided to use a custom pre rooted ROM, but I can't downgrade it, so I was wondering if there is any available Pre rooted ICS ROM with the 4.0.4 version, so I wouldn't need to Downgrade it. Please if you can provide me the tools, the ROMs or anything you can helpe with The Sony S1 is from Mexico, just in case
There are no news from Sony about ICS 4.0.4 for Tablets S or P
+ the device is locked, you can't downgrade or even install ROMs other than official, u got to wait for devs

Hi!
Today I've read about the new finished CyanogenMod 9 – Stable version. Then, I went the wiki page to find out how to install, and I've noticed that all the model references says "sk17i".
I have a xperia mini pro (u20i); will CyanogenMod 9 (cm-9.0.0-mango.zip) work on my phone?
AND:
If it would, will it work smoother than mi current rom? (MiniCM7Pro V21, kernel 2.3.7)
Regards!

Your phone is actually X10 mini pro (u20i),
which is not supported offically by the CM community.
The above rom and this forum is for xperia mini pro (sk17i),
so it will not work on your phone.
If you want a taste of cm9 on your phone,
head to another forum on xda and get the unoffical one.

I'm sorry but asking for the best rom/kernel is not permitted. Please try some roms and find the one working best for you

I ask not the best but it advises on rom install and to install app to sd
What roms are the latest 1 jellybenn and 1 katkit ?
And you you have a preference ?
App2SD should work on most roms, I guess nearly on all roms
Check the development forum, there are already many jellybean (Android 4.1.2/4.2.2/4.3) and some kitkat (Android 4.4) roms you could try
