Hello everyone,
I have rooted the xperia mini using Eroot and have installed app2sd to move system apps to SD card, the card is a 16GB split 8ext2 and 8 fat32 both partitions are set primary
The problem is when i try to move system app i get error saying cannot mount ext2
To resolve the problem i have uninstalled and re-installed app2sd, have repaired the OS using PC companion and root again but every time the result is the same.
I am running sony software only with root.
Can anyone help please?
I don't think stock kernel supports ext partition by default. Try searching ext2/3/4 module for stock rom.

It was running stock and ext2 before don't get what happen and why doesn't work anymore.
I've removed some of the bloatware to make some room to install a couple apps so it will have to do.
Wish sony made a real mini phone with specs like Z up

Hello,
Here you can only discuss about issues,bugs and fixes for Xperia sola ICS.
Please let's keep this thread clean.
Do not ask questions about updating to ICS here.
Genera lnfo:
For about update [ICS]ICS rollout started for U/SOLA/GO finally
For ftf download [ICS][FTF] OFFICIAL ICS Firmware Xperia Sola 6.1.1.B.1.10
Do a factory reset after updating
For benchmarks Xperia sola benchmarks
For rooting try V13(confirmed) Root Many Android
Rooting guide - Root Sola
For CWM,Sony Xperia Sola boot for 6.1.1.B.1.10 + rooted + CWM recovery v5.5.0.4

New exclusive feature of Xperia sola - Glove mode:
ICS update lets you use Xperia™ sola with your gloves on
Using floating touch over entire UI
How it works
Glove mode is enabled by default in the ICS upgrade for Xperia™ sola, so when you unlock the phone while wearing a glove (or with a bare finger in the air), you will enter glove mode and Floating touch™ mode will be disabled. In this mode, both glove touch and normal touch usage will work, for example, if you take off the gloves. There is also a cursor ring shown where you press the screen with your glove, to help you understand where you are actually pressing the screen. To turn off glove mode, you simply lock the screen and then unlock it with your bare finger touching the screen and you’re back to normal mode with Floating touch™ enabled. - Sony
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Observations/Issues/Bugs:
Wifi Signal seems to be a little weaker,gsm signal is bit better.
Floating touch is available in some games instead of normal touch.
Battery Drain.
Poor Ram management.
microSD is causing reboots and bootloops(for some users).
As usual touch screen freaks when charging.
Settings Crash when you open running apps(for some users).
Lags(for some users)
Wifi bugs.
Camera on Instagram doesn't work.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fixes:
For faster UI experience: Settings->Developers options-> Set Window Animation scale and Transition Animation scale to x5 or off.
Before rooting have backup using that backup&restore app,some users are reporting problems mounting to PC after rooting,so if you have similar problem,restore the back up.
SD Card Reboot fix:
Use System Tuner or any app and set SD IO Scheduler to "noop " instead of "cfq".

It is a humble request to everyone to please factory reset the phone after updating....It will really be worth it!!!
PLease let me know if I have got this right.
Running on custom ROM +custom kernel now.
To flash this ROM we need to get off both the custom parts.
To do that is to first relock the bootloader and then flash the stock/factory ROM.
Right so far?
And then finally flash the FTF file through Flashtool + factory reset.

So I would have to flash the stock ROM and then directly flash the new ICS rom?

Anyway,just flash ICS ftf.
Just did a factory reset after flashing. The phone really does feel faster (or it might just be me) wifi signal seems to be a little weaker though, whilst gsm signal is a bit better.
if you want a faster experience do this should help alot
go into settings/developers options and scroll down and change window animation scale and transition animation sale to x5 or off will notice a big difference in opening apps

Nope. Xperia plus v10 is being made right now This is a whole NEW ROM which is so light! Has no major amazing features. Its just ready for you guys to start customizing with all your mods and add-ons!
Did you read my mind? These past few days I've been thinking how nice it would be if a developer here could cook up a completely stripped down, clean and mean GB ROM. And here you are. Thank you Apmartin. I'll be installing it and will give feedback.
PS Can I still get widgets from other external apps to place on my home screen?

I had some problems installing Xperia Slim and cannot use it, even before getting out of the starting gate. The problem seem to center around superuser permission. But here are my experiences.
1. You can't use Lupus GB. This will result in bootloops. Changed to Night Elf v10 Experimental (couldn't find v 10.1 Experimental) and the phone booted off just fine.
2. The lightness and speed of the ROM was just great. The feel of this ROM is the best of any other ROM I've tried. This is exactly the kind of ROM I want.
3. Tried to update the Supeuser binary. But it kept telling me that "Superuser was denied superuser permission" no matter how many times I tried. Installed SuperSU through CWM (this automatically removes Superuser). But when I tried to enter SuperSU the app froze. I tried this many times. Did a full wipe and installed Xperia Slim again. After the settling in period I went into Settings -> Applications and Force Closed Superuser and Cleared Data. Rebooted. Now I could update the binary.
4. Before installing all my usual apps directly from the Play Store I will always install Link2SD first. I have a 1GB Ext4 partition for it. All my apps, when installed, will roughly take up over 600MB. But Link2SD could not mount the script saying that "Root access was denied", again and again. So I uninstalled Link2SD and installed S2E. But when I checked the storage status in S2E I found that the Ext4 partition could not be mounted. Maybe it cannot recognize Ext4 partitions.
5. There was nothing else I could do. So I restored a nandroid backup I made before installing Xperia Slim.
I really like the feel of this ROM and would like to be able to use it. But I need to get Link2SD working first. Please help. :crying:

Try this:
Format everything (data.system.cache.valvik)
Flash ROM > Patch > Libs
Reboot
Check root status
If root fails flash this:
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
That will fix root I will try to fix this in v1.1 - I can't help bugs because my phone is broken so its very hard to test.

I already flashed BB 77 through Flashtool before installing Xperia Slim. I think the ROM might have a problem recognizing Ext 4 partitions. When you release v1.1 could you just check if Link2SD will work. Thank you.
This is the ROM I've been hoping for. I'd gladly be your tester if you don't have a Neo V. Let me know.
Does it have xloud and bavaria engine?

And why would you need a special rom for that?
Link2SD works perfect on our phone.
Didn't test Folder Mount, but i'm quite sure it will work, too.
And there are lots of tutorials how to disable/freeze/uninstall unwanted apps.
All you need is root.
All you need to do is read!
There are enough threads about it.

What's the difference between ext2 and ext4? I've read that ext4 isn't good for the SD card life. Is it true?
There's no "gaming rom" but you can look for someone to port slimkat rom, this rom is slim, fast, perfect for games (this is my opinion )
Moving the data files from the game with different xposed modules, swap ram, cleaning cache or other stuff can also help a lot if you're to play games.

Hi. master, is this fully original concept rom from Sony? i mean you got the ota and then backed up system via twrp? or it is a port from z3 or other? thanks
Port from z3. Sony dont release 2099 for z3c yet.
Do I do a wipe before restoring?
Flashed onto z3c. Looks really good and fast but unfortunately there is an issue with it mounting the sdcard. You can't use an external sdcard because it cant read it.
Okay might have just been my card but I wasn't going format it for it to work because it had all my lollipop backups on it and I wanted to go back to lollipop until this has more working for it like androplus kernel, xposed etc. Looks good though and can't wait to get it up and running when it's fully supported.
