DON'T PUSH THE DEV.
When you put a question when is possible i update this FAQ.
Please excuse my really bad english....
INSTALL INSTRUCTION FROM FRESH STOCK ROM
save all your data
start seus recovery from Sony Ericsson PC Companion and make your phone clean and fresh.
install a file explorer, install XRECOVERY and install the rom, then restart and install with XRECOVERY the HOTFIX you need.
CAN I UPGRADE FROM VERSION TO ANOTHER?
Yes in the 90% without trouble, your data and app are safe, but not from foryou to ginger and sometimes....
CAN I INSTALL ONLY THE LAST VERSION?
Usually the next version have all the hotfix and some tweeks, yes you can.
SOME APP CRASH, WHY?
Try to delete all the data of the app from the application menu.
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app.
Sometimes you need a fresh SEUS flash...Try to discover if your app not work only for you or all the people...
SOME APP DON'T INSTALL (like angry birds), AND NOW?
Try to Wipe Dalvik Cache using xRecovery
In case, if any app doesn't install even after cleaning Dalvik Cache via xRecovery for some reason.. Try this command:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
Or simply navigate to /mnt/secure/asec/ using root explorer, find smdl2tmp1.asec and delete it. It will solve the problem.
MY BATTERY HAVE STRANGE DRAIN ISSUE
Try this: make a full charge of the x10, set wifi option "never sleep", reboot in xrecovery, wipe battery stats and then use ALL the battery before the new recharge.
I CAN'T UPDATE AN APP, WHY?
Try to delete data app or unintall the app (for system app uninstall with titanium backup or similar app) and then install it again.

HOW I CAN MAKE FM RADIO WORK?
Turn off Wifi
Turn on Bluetooth (wait till its started)
connect Head Phones
start FM App (make sure when you hit menu button you have set the right region)
And listen to FM Radio
MULTITOUCH NOT WORK, WHY?
It's possible you have a differtent version of x10 mini pro, there are an alternative module, be happy, try this link and copy the module in your /system/lib/modules with a filemanager (you need to reboot).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=620359&d=1307637881
SOME DEFAULT STOCK ROM APPLICATION NOT WORK (like ALBUM), WHY?
We don't have sony Ericsson framework... sorry, stay tuned for next hotfix.
MY X10 SOMETIMES REBOOT, WHY?
Reboots? -> Flash non overclocked version or try to remove undervolt option.
MY X10 FREEZE AT SE LOGO, NOW?
Stuck at SE Logo? -> Wipe Data and Dalvik Cache, restore via MyPhoneExplorer or something Else
CAN'T USE OLD APP2SD and ext2/3/4 PARTIOTION, WHY?
Some custom roms use the native Froyo app2sd, go in the app menu and move from here to the sd, the old app2sd is born for Enclair rom, on this roms not work.
I CAN'T MOVE APPS TO SD, WHY?
Can't move apps to SD?? -> Format SD Card or delete hidden folders on SD Card
Make sure you have 'Allow application moving' checked in settings>cyanogenmod settings>application settings
I CAN'T OPEN DISPLAY SETTINGS FOR AUTO BRIGHTNESS, WHY?
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13382274&postcount=10
IN THIS ROM WE SHOULD HAVE JIT ENABLEAD OR DISABLED?
Leave jit enabled, it gives you the best overall performance. If you play a lot of games its ok to turn it off. I leave it on all the time. If you need to save battery you can also try to turn jit off. Resizing jit heap takes a bit of battery
HOW I CAN SET AN APP AS THE DEFAULT APP?
Go to the application menu ---> manage application ---> find the old default app and remove the default. Next time android make you the question of the new default app.
HOW I CAN REMOVE SYSTEM APP?
IS Dangerous but if you want try use an app like TITANIUM BACKUP.

Q:How do I install this ROM?
A:Start off with a rooted phone.
Download and pust the ROM .zip file to the sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
When installing for the first time wipe /system, /cache, /data and dalvik-cache
Wipe /system. (under mounts & storage)
Install the ROM zip from sdcard.
Q:The new version is released on miuiandroid.com, where is the Galaxy S II download link?
A:Our device is not yet officially supported, therefore bmarko has to download the official release, do his magic, and release it for the S II. He does not only have to wait until it’s released by miuiandroid.com but afterwards also has to find time to modify and upload the new version. This takes some time, but normally he uploads within two, maybe three, days.
Q:When will the next release be, and when will you fix this?
A:There is only one rule in this thread:
DON’T ASK FOR ETA’S
For clarity’s sake: ETA means estimated time of arrival.
Q:Is OTA updating working?
A:No, because it’s not yet an official release. Trying it should give an error message, or may download a release for another phone. I would suggest not using it at all.
Q:There is a new version released, and I have to wipe /system, what does that mean and what will I lose?
A:/system is the folder that contains all system files, when upgrading all system files are replaced so all old files have to be deleted. But all your personal files are in the /data folder. That means that you don't lose anything personal when upgrading, all your apps will be kept too. Certain mods, such as extended settings and my gps.conf files are in system though, so you'll have to reinstall them again.
Q:I prefer MIUI in: Chinese - German - English - Spanish - Vietnamese - Italian - Hebrew - Russian -Hungarian
- Dutch - Portugese - Danish - Turkish - Polish - Koeran - French - Greek - Czech - Slovenian.
A:L10nH34Rt has ported El Afortunado's multi-language pack.
1.9.9
1.9.2
1.8.26
Make sure to boot once before flashing the .zips.

A:There is only one rule in this thread:

Q:When will Bluetooth audio be fixed? I really need it!
A:Above applies more than anything to Bluetooth Audio.
Q:I got an inexplicable bug, and the guys in the thread told me to do a complete wipe, what is this? And what will I lose?
A:A complete wipe consists of a wipe of /system /data /cache and dalvik-cache. This means that everything, except for the internal storage, is deleted. If you want to easily restore your contacts, settings and apps you will have to backup your phone. There are three common ways to do this:
1. A Nandroid backup, you can do this from CWM under back up and restore. This will create a complete system image, this is mostly used when switching ROM and you want to be able to switch back easily. When you restore this backup everything will be exactly the same as when you backed up, all bugs included.
2. MIUI built in backup, this is mostly used when you have to wipe your phone because of a bug. All your settings, apps and contacts will be conserved, except for your mail settings and account passwords, for security reasons. When you restore this you only have to enter your credentials and server settings again, system files are not backed up, so bugs will be gone. Only downside is that only MIUI can restore this, so you can't export it to another ROM.
3. Titanium backup comes in handy when migrating to another ROM. Titanium can back up settings, apps and their data. Titanium backup works on all ROM's so you can back up, flash another ROM and restore your apps and their data. Settings are harder to back up, restoring settings is possible between TouchWiz ROM's, moving them from TouchWiz ROM to MIUI or Cyanogen will give loads of FC's. Same goes for system apps and their data.
Q:The back light of the soft key goes on and off, seemingly random, what can I do about this?
A:I've created a mod that permanently disables the softkey's backlight, regardless of light sensor and backlight intensity. It's a script in init.d so you can easily remove it by removing the file from /system/etc/init.d.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Permanently Disable Softkey Backlight.zip
The script locks the backlight intensity at boot, which is normally 0. But when you have BLN enabled and there is a notification on boot it will lock the backlight when it's on. When this happens a reboot after the notification is gone will fix the problem.
This is another solution, main drawback is that you have to enable Automatic Brightness for it to work.
The soft keys respond to the automatic brightness. This is not a bug, but a feature. You can regulate this by going to display settings -> automatic brightess -> advanced options. Enable the use custom levels, and set the values for soft keys. Set all levels on 255 for always on, or all on 0 for always off.
Q:My GPS takes ages to acquire a lock, and/or is far from accurate.
A:Unless you are living in North America this is because the ntp server is set to North America. Changing this in the gps server settings doesn’t work, so you’ll have to directly edit the gps.conf file which is situated in /system/etc. But to make it easier for y’all I created CWM flashable .zips. You’ll have to flash these after every update, simply because /system and all its subfolders are wiped on update. The .zips are found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233256
If your country isn’t on the list there is no ntp server hosted in your country, in that case use the zip of the closest country.
Q:The audio through my headphones won’t go any louder after four clicks.
A:This also is a known bug, there is a fix. But it’s both unwieldy and temporary. Type the following into a terminal emulator.
Code:
$ su
# /system/bin/alsa_amixer sset Headphone 31
31 is the max headphone volume, if you want to change the volume choose any value betwoon 0 ( completely silent ) and 31 ( the loudest ). But when choosing the volume rocker it ignores this setting. So you'll have to enter it manually everytime you want to change the volume.
Q:I can't access my internal storage through USB.
A:Make sure USB Debugging is activated. Enable it by going to settings -> applications -> development -> enable USB Debugging.
Q:When I reboot my phone data is turned off automatically.
A:This is a known bug, for now: just flip the data toggle in the toggles dropdown menu.
Q:No matter what the size is, the market tells me the file needs to be downloaded over wifi.
A:Open the downloads app from the launcher, and turn download using wifi off. When connected with wifi it will still download over wifi, so don’t fear for your data bundle.
Q:My phone doesn't go into deep sleep.
A:This is a bug in the Battery Monitor, the phone actually does go into deep sleep, but it isn't noticed by the battery monitor. You can check this using CPU Spy:

Q:I can't play music from my external SD card.
Q:Make sure the folder on your external SD card is being searched by MIUI Music. Go to Music -> Settings -> Filter by Folder -> *Tick the required folders*
Q:I don’t like the MIUI camera app, what are the alternatives?
A:There are a few replacements on the market. Most used is lgCamera (https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera). There also is being worked on a port of the Samsung camera app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239045
Q:Video play is out of sync, or stutters.
A:There are two viable alternatives; RockPlayer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.redirectin.rockplayer.android.unified.lite), and MX Video Player (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad) with the ARMv7 codec (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_vfpv3d16).

A:I would suggest looking here:

There are a few other sites but most of them are posted here too.
As for personal choice, I recommend checking out Signa.
Q:Where are the old ringtones? The new ones are horrible!
A:Here's a Clockworkmod flashable .zip with the the old ringtones and notification sounds.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Audio.zip
Q:How about custom kernels? I want to use my 1337 overclock skills!
A:Bmarko has aked not to release any custom kernels untill he decides it to be stable.

gangsterjoop, first of all, thanks so much for the hard work in pulling this together (I wrote the litening FAQ so I know what a pain it is to write and keep updated.
btw, an approach that also works for me is to use file manager, go to external_sd, go to the music folder and then exit. the music app then scans and adds the music automatically. this actually came out of a post on this thread.

Thanks! Quite a compliment, and especially from you!
Let's hope this one becomes as big as the Litening one one day. I feel like I should do some layout, but I was quite happy I had the text finished (english sometimes takes some extra time), so I guess I'll , make it a bit more readable in the following days.
Also, miui.nl provides the SGS2 rom along with a DUTCH language pack every time an update is released. Huge props to the original dev who started translating, because he's the first I know that keeps the pack updated.
Might seem silly but could be handy at the start to say that you need a rooted phone with cwm on it. I know that most that come here will know already but there are bound to be people who will ask.
I don't want to nit pick on this nice looking Q&A thread, but were you say "and turn download over 3G on" It doesn't actualy say that, it says "Download using Wi-Fi" (On/Off)
This could be confusing to some newbie users

No problem
I have just noticed aswell when i poped out to the shop i didnt disconnect my wi-fi connection but it didnt auto change to Data (there was just no connection) can this be turned on so when wi-fi is not available it switches to Data (3G) ?
Thanks for making this thread first of all!
Due to the fact that this is an Q&A thread I think I dare to ask this. I want to try out MIUI on my galaxy S2, I know it's in an early stage. Probably after 2 days or so I'm going back to a Samsung based Rom so I will create an Nandroid Backup of my current Rom. But in the other MIUI thread you (gangsterjoop) were talking with exmatproton and he asked : You're still running that custom kernel and you said: Yea, CWM is accessible etc. By this you mean CWM is not accessible with stock MIUI kernel? If so how can I restore my Nandroid backup? Or did you mean something different ?

I tried it, mine does switch automatically. Make sure data is switched on, and give it a few seconds to initiate the data connection. If that doesn't work I'll start digging in my settings.
So please report back.

It was the other way round. The problem with the custom kernel was that in V1 CWM wasn't accessible anymore, so you had to flash a CWM kernel through Odin. This was solved in V2 of the kernel. Bmarko's kernel is flawless, so you can just restore your Nandroid backup without problems.
Hey man thanks for ur efforts.. I have installed the miui Beta 19..now I want to update it to latest build.I have download ed it to decades also.but when I try to flash this in can.the installation gets failed showing varification failed message.. any solution for this will be great.

I would recommend downloading the latest release again. Most of the install failures are because of corrupted (not the Indian kind of corrupt , it means the download failed)downloads.
But I can't entirely understand your post, so would you mind posting in your native language? Then I can copy it into Google Translate.

I checked my mobile when i was walking back home, so it had been disconnected from my wi-fi for around 10 mins
its not a big problem for me because when i am out for a while i normaly turn wi-fi off, or if i need to my mobile while im out i make sure wi-fi is off and data is on
i also thought it auto changed as this is the norm for most smart phones now days.

thanks for the quick reply...my message was gibberish right.. hey it was because of the autofill feature and i didnt notice the errors..so what i was saying is that when i tried to flash the latest miui rom( iam currently in beta 19) through CWM recovery by putting the downloaded file in sd card..the installation is aborted due varification faliure.
so ur suggestion is the error may be due to corruption of file.(as we have Hasare in India we can hopefully remove the currption... )
edit.... i found the solution ..when i did the cache wipe again in cwm recovery, installation is finished smoothly..

I've seen that one too, have you tried it allready?
If so, is there any difference between bmarko82's version and
the miui.nl version? (besides the translation)

No noticable differences between the roms. No apps removed or other strange stuff. For translations in notification bar you'll have to reboot the phone after applying the language.

Well, I like the english version and don't need the dutch translation so i'll stick
to bmarko82's rom since they are the same!
Sorry for posting here, but according to the forum rules I can't post directly in the topic.
I have a wellknown trouble with the market:
I'm running mik's CM port for my p500, the first day everything went ok, but today I noticed that every market installation fail with 3 crashes:
com.android.vending
com.android.media
com.android.vending
(in this sequence).
I tried to clean the application data, then I switched the language to English (US), then cleaned the data's another time (also with titanium backup).
No way, my market still crashes and seems that there are no solutions apart the two I just tried...
Anyone has suggestions?
I need to reach mik to let him know this bug!
What CM are you using? On it 7.2 you must install newest GAPPS... they seems only one compatible with it for now.. ON 7.1 miks install temasek GAPPS
I'm using mik's 7.1-thunderg, I didn't installed any gapps the gapps downloaded themselves the first run of the phone.
There is a way to obtain 7.2 on my optimus one? I found only mik's cyanogen that is "vanilla"!
By the way, I installed temasek market but it continue crashing, so I can't install anything...
I tried the old market and also the news market (from themasek) but it continue crashing! Now I'll try to use the old one, in english, after reboot so I'll check if this is the same bug as signaled in CM forum
SOLUTION!
I found a solution!
Searching with adb logcat I found the reason of com.android.media crashing!
I was using profiles to deny (or turn on always) vibration! Market doesn't like it, and crash (It's strange but it will crash also with vibration turned on!)
So the definitive solution about the strange market crash is simply:
create a custom application group with market in
set for this group the vibration on "system setting"
Go and enjoy your market!
I put the line of the logcat here, so other people will find this solution! (thank you google)
java.lang.SecurityException: Requires VIBRATE permission
I'll try to post this solution in the cyanogenmod thread but if I can't (for permissions) can some mod do this for me?
Alright guys, I'm in need of some help.
I've been flashing MIUI on my Fascinate for months now and recently I've run into a problem. On RickS' 1.12.9 I'm getting a lot of FCs. About 24-48 hours after flashing and setting up my phone I get a notification at boot that every GApp along with TB, Facebook, Script Manager have "stopped unexpectedly" and need to be force closed. My flash process is as follows:
1) ODIN either DL09 or EH03
2) ODIN CWM4
3) 3 finger boot to CWM and flash RickS 1.12.9
4) Everything is fine up to here
5) TB - Restore missing user apps (just apps, not data)
6) Set up Supercharger script (update9 RC5 test 2), Voltage Control OC/UV, Glitch kernel leakage/screen state
7) Reboot
8) Wait about a day and a couple of reboots later for the force close party to start.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? I've tried a few solutions (i.e. mixing up my flash routine, fix permissions...)
Thanks,
EJ
EDIT: Also, whenever I flash weblexa's builds after step 7 I get stuck in a bootloop. I'm going to try to just flash it and reboot to see if I don't get stuck (which, if I don't probably means that something I'm doing while setting up my apps and such is the cause of the problems).

I have had this same issue, and for months it drove me nuts cause I couldn't figure out the problem.
It didn't happen so much with all google apps, mainly the market, but I did get it on others.
What used to work for the market, set your language in the phone settings. Not market settings, the phone. I set mine to English (United States) and I didn't get a FC on market since.
With other google apps, or other apps in general there are a couple a things you can try.
1. If you changed any permissions, i.e. disabled apps from loading on boot, turn them back on 1 at a time. When I disable Google Talk from loading.. I get FC's.
2. Try a clearing data/cache for the app and re-installing over the app... or clearing data/cache and uninstall... and re-install.
3. Have you changed your screen DPI? Below 190ish causes problems for me, like if I dial a number it FC's.
There is a couple more, I just got out of class and can't think of em for the life of me. I will post when it comes to me.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply!
1) No permissions were changed.
2) I tried wiping davik/cache. As for the individual apps, the vast majority of the ones that are FCing are system apps; uninstalling isn't exactly an option unless I just remove them from the rom.
3) DPI hasn't been touched.

I would be willing to bet you have alot of apps installed and your datadata folder is full. There is a thread on rootzwiki on how to fix this if uninstalling or moving apps to sd is not an option for you.
Introducing, a new ROM based on the amazing acervenky's Vision™Rom,
TinyXperiaLite™
Many people want simple, fast and bloat free ROMs. They only want the bare minimum ROM so that they can freely add and tweak (the ROM or directly, the sources) so as to customize it as they please. I know I do. I want to take a minimum ROM, flash it on my phone and then add AC!D Audio Engine 5.0 and Sony Xperia T Small Apps to it. These are my personal modifications that suit me. And similarly, there will be modifications that will suit others as well. So, presenting TinyXperiaLite. The main purpose of this ROM is to enable you to make what you want for your device. Add apps, features, change boot animation, add ring tones and what not because this ROM weighs in only at 76 MB (for Release v0.1) and can support all your demands.

Battery & RAM Tweaking Guide
Battery Calibration Tutorial
FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:
1. After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:
BATTERY CALIBRATOR on Play Store - 47 KB size
2. Then, charge your phone to 100%.
3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
4. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
5. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
6. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
7. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.

Extra Battery Saving Tips:
1. Set a brightness level. Do not use Auto Brightness, it sips more power in turn.
2. Set ROTATION to OFF if you are not using Landscape Mode at all.
3. Use EXTENDED BATTERY Mode if you actively use WiFi/Mobile Data.
RAM Cleaning
- Do not use task killers
- Freeze/Move to Quarantine those APPS which you DO NOT USE regularly and you don't want them TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND
APP QUARANTINE on Play Store
Go ahead, try it. Move all unwanted apps to quarantine now!
DEEP SLEEP STATE battery saving
Your phone sips the least amount of power when it is in DEEP SLEEP STATE. There is a new app in the marketplace which can FORCE DEEP SLEEP STATE on your phone. This is especially useful if you want the phone to conserve battery for hours and then wake up for a minute and sync all new alerts in one go. This can help prolong your usage on a single charge.
DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVER on Play Store
This app is under development and can be found on XDA developers forums itself. Here's the link to the thread:
[APP] [2.1+] Deep Sleep Battery Saver
How Deep sleep Battery Saver works
Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off. During deepsleep mode, Wifi, 3G are turned off, background apps are stopped. Therefore, most apps are not working, including Facebook, Google Service, etc,. It then constantly wakes up in order to download email, sync Facebook status, etc, which is defined by deepsleep frequency and woke up duration
By constantly put device into deepsleep mode, we will save battery life due to no Internet connection, and therefore most of network-based apps, such as Facebook, Gmail will not work.
Caution: during deepsleep mode on, this app may disrupt your normal activities, such as your email notification comes with larger delay.
In advanced mode, you can customize more parameters, including day/night settings, active period, screen timeout, sync strategy, ignored apps, etc,.

Hi!
What features are here apart from removed bloatware, I'm talking about tweaks...supercharger, wi-fi 3g tweaks...?
One of my friends has xperia Go, on which I gained him root access, but I can't find a good simple tweaked rom for locked bootloader.
Thanks
SuperCharger V6, Mali400, SQLite, ZipAlign.
These tweaks are there in every custom ROM my friend..
Nobody try?
Thanks for the reply. I will tell that my friend of this rom, but it will be a long way and it should be tested from another with locked bl before, because I can't be responsible for him.
Anyway many thanks for your work! I will follow this thread.
Locked Bootloader will be safer I guess. Anyways thanks!
Cant flash rom stock

23/002/2013 12:02:44 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
Just tried it. I love the bootanimation and xperia z launcher with 4x4 app drawer. The only problem is the tab n grid is outdated. On startup there's a notification saying "a large number of sms are being sent. I tried to update the tab n grid and it worked fine. Also the CWM is still there.
EDIT: The themes were gone. I can't select other themes.
UPdate: In order to make the app drawer 4x4, you have to clear xperia home data in settings.
Update: In order to change themes, you have to go to settings >> display. There's no option to change theme on launcher. Please fix it.

Stock launcher has no home preferences. That is a modified version of stock launcher, search in xda "stock launcher mdpi". Then you will have to copy "home.apk" (exchange with old one) and "home preferences.apk" to /system/app and edit properties -rw -r -r. Wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
But you should try this rom.

What's battery life like using this rom? I'm interested because it sounds promising that it may provide a good, crisp, basic rom which may lead to longer battery. Any info greatly appreciated...
