In previews post I suggested to ignore the one from the market. If you only copy the right busybox and then run the installed line on my previous post. It should installed itself and create the links itself. Its just a suggestion.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Have you checked new requirements ? or changelog ? ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DanielFran:
Hi D4,

I try again with v.1.3 and nothing happen!

I validated, I have busibox in Xbin comming from SuperUser.apk only, in bin folder I do not have busibox, chargemon it is one that I have copy and no recovery.tar in bin folder also.

I try install busibox, recovery and xrecovery and nothing!?! :(

Any idea?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DanielFran:
Hi bitmovel,

Can you please be more specific how you did it?

I try:

1 - Install busybox from Market (last version available is v.1.19 installed to /system/bin/)

2 - Copy busybox from xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1-beta.tar.bz2 from this thread

3 - Try to use Recover Installer v.1.3 to install CWM Recovery

The problem is that CWM Recovery is not installed!

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DanielFran:
I finally do it:

1 - install xrecovery using files from xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1-beta.tar.bz2

2 - Using ROM Manager I have installed CWM Recovery

PS: Probally it was a mistake with permissions (I put wrxwrxwrx to 3 files to be sure it was working) or mount RW or missing a reboot!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TinoZgb:
this morning i tried reverting to stock, so i lost cwm. and now i can't install it again with this app, and someone made sure that this app is the only way :D

so what am i supposed to do? xrecovery installer is discontinued, and this one doesn't work.

u20i with latest stock rom
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Try rommanager and install cwm from there
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TinoZgb:
forgot ybout that, did it, thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] m11c3:
why not work(just initializing) on version 2.0.2A.0.24?

i press xrecovery not reaction, cwm still no reaction

but busybox in list ?

busybox not installed on my device?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] m11c3:
for you all user x10 mini pro, if u want CWM recovery

try this method :

- download file recovery from this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106146 & http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950324

- extract xrecovery & CWM r3

- copy busybox from xrecovery to CWMr3

- delete xrecovery

- copy 3 file CWM r3 to /system/bin using root explorer

NOTE : no requirment to install busybox, just root!

tested 100% work!

other method like install file @1st page this thread, & using rom manager is not working!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
In order to make this app working, or ROM Manager working, you need to have busybox!, won't work if you dont download busybox from market

Steps:

Download & Install busybox FROM MARKET!

Install busybox from my app, just for avoid compatibility issues

REBOOT!

Install recovery you want

Enjoy ...

I really don't Know why dont work for you, I tried on Stock, and worked :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jar0b_:
Hi, first of all, i want to thank you all your efforts around this development ;)

Im posting because im having the same issue that you have been describing here.

Also D4rKn3sSyS, i have done your steps, and isnt working for me neither :(

I have also done #rm -r /system/xbin/busybox and reinstall it via the market app, and when i launch your application, nothing happens whatever button I touch, just the message in the log "Initializing".

Thanks for all your work m8 ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
Well until you found out what's wrong, why don't you use Flashtool to root, install busybox and then you can use this app provided in this thread to install the appropriate busybox and recoverytool you like.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PerKiller:
I have never been able to download Busybox from market, so it pisses me off how often I see guides saying "Just install busybox from market". I live in Norway. And I had to use SEUS to get stock phone 10+ times to get xrecovery install working.

Now new ROMs rely on CWM I see, so far I don't understand what's the easiest way of installing CWM?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PerKiller:
I start the program. It says- "Log: Initializing" and nothing more happens. I try the buttons, nothing happens. It does have root permission but none of the buttons do anything.

Every rom on this forum says "Use CWD to install." I dont even know what the hell is CWD?!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DanielFran:
I confirm, for me using this method is the best way to have CWMRecovery installed from SE Rom.

D4, using your APK it continues not working.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MrGentlemen:
did i need to copy busybox in \system\bin folder from the extracted CWM?

EDIT: nevermind....i have copied it in /bin anyway, and can confirm ...it works! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Macsek:
Unfortunately the software written by D4rKn3sSyS does not work (log just says initializing, even if I had "busybox installer" from the market and it did install the latest busybox in /system/bin), but copying the files using the method described by m11c3 works.

Thank you both.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mukptl:
Log Initializing

not working for me too

just stay at Log Initializing
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pericamikica:
Not working on my phone too. Just say log initiliazing and whatever i press. Nothing happens.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pericamikica:
Tried everything and only m11c3 method worked! Thank you! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nightwing369:
Request for feature in Next version

Hi,

Please could you make v1.4 to include compatibility with stock rom. I need an CWM installer apk I can simply save to my SD card and use with whatever rom - Most Importantly to install CWM from stock rom! :) This is because I am currently in the stock SE rom with xRecovery, and whenever I try out a custom rom these days I have to leapfrog to a rom like slade's CM6 v5.0 (which also installs CWM over xRecovery) and then use the CWM recovery to install more up-to-date roms which require a CWM rom installation as a prerequisite :rolleyes: :(

Please make the next version (v1.4) apk, one I can simply save to my SD card (and use with whatever rom). Most Importantly I need to be able to install CWM recovery from SE stock rom! :)

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
In this Case I currrently recommend to use flashtool to install xrecovery and when you are in xrecovery you can install CWM by: this xrecovery-install-package.

then you have stock ROM with CWM :D

Or simply try Rom manager 5.2
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] m0d:
No, apparently Rom manager does not work with Stock ( D4rKn3sSyS replied in one post), and I get SD not enough space when trying with it.

so, I guess he was right - Nyeh nyeh nyeh

but I still think it should say 'Version incompatible' instead of no space, because SD has enough space
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
heh. Okay. Yeah but you only need to create your stock rom with cwm one time. Then do a backup of it and.... Yay always you want to try another rom, restore your stock rom backup :)

You can rename the folder of your stock rom backup like 'stock' and you will always see it.

If you brick your phone having no cwm anymore to restore your backup, you must have done something stupid. This is even most seldom i guess :)

sent with my x10 mini pro
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] m0d:
I also would like this feature.

I believe that all ROMs already have -recovery, be it x or CWM, therefore it makes sense to be able to add support for Stock rom since it does not have any, unless added manually.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Source code uploaded see 1st post. if someone want to play with it, or make it compatible with stock, I wont say no ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Andreson01:
I use in stock rom and work perfect :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Ok then people dont know how to do it ;) thanks. ill change name. anyway sources maybe useful
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nico_l:
works for me too, thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rasecrmz:
Great! Very useful! Amazing job! Thanks, i will use it on a friend's mini pro!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
Thanks,- m11c3 works. works
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
Don't work for me.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
You seem to be an quiet successful archeologist :D What exactly does not work? Also did you try this or this? Because installing xRecovery makes no sense, its only used by quiet outdated roms. Of course you can install xRecovery manually, there are a lot of guides across the forums.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MoneyFist:
I've tried almost everything to get into CWM & Xrecovery.

I've tried all these one click programs

I've tried manually putting chargemon, busybox, recovery.tar into system/bin & sh into system/xbin

Changed persmissions.

Just to clarify it is definitely "back" button 3 times when the first Sony Ericsson logo pops up?

I've tried spamming the back button too. No joy :mad:

I'm definitely rooted

Also I did a SESU restore today.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I'm running Virtuous 1.1.8 ROM with latest radio (stickied-thread that shows May 11th date).

The first I did (accidentily) was make S=on. Now, whenever I try to go to bootloader to load PD15IMG.zip, it says "Main version is older. Update fail".

I believe I need to get back to S=off and first put stock recovery on before doing the pd15img.zip... Is that right? I have tried to get back to s=off without any luck.

I would appreciate ANY help. Thank you.

[HTC Sensation] mike21pr:
Hello. Im considering picking up a Sensation 4G, but the only thing im worried about is the amount of RAM available compared to its closest competitors. The SGS2, Atrix and EVO 3D which is its almost twin brother and it has 1gb RAM as opposed to the S4G. Is this enough to easily handle day to day use?? Because from what i read, it gets around 158mb free on a fresh boot as oposed to its compatitors which may get 300+ to handle the load

The QHD and Sense 3.0 are plenty reasons IMO to have at least 1gb RAM to handle it and im a bit bummed to hear that the mytouch 4g has the same amount and nowhere as near as much workload to handle.

I may be exaggerating when i say this, but i just got a HTC Mogul flashback lol

Am i crazy for being a bit concerned as if i have nothing to worry about, or does anyone feel the same way??

Sorry to ramble so much

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
i've had the sensation for 5 days now, and from all indications, it runs extremely fast and flawless. but the whole 768MB ram is a serious letdown for me. i'm still contemplating whether i should keep it or return it. i love the device, and i think in all honesty the ram shouldnt be an issue at all. however, i have seen where if you open the browser, then some other apps, then go back to the browser, it reloads the page, meaning it shut the browser down to reclaim memory. thus the reloading takes a lil time to fetch it again from the network. a lilttle annoying.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
On a fresh boot with all of my apps installed it shows over 275mg of memory available. I think it's fine.
[HTC Sensation] mike21pr:
really?? hmmm i asked Aaron from phonedog . com and he told me about 160. i might feel a lot better if 275 seems to be closer to the actual number since i bet once the bootloader is unlocked, it will be much better. ill check it out tomorrow and see. Any clue on why people say that the evo 3d is noticibly faster??? my first guess would be the ram unless im missing something

ps: are you using Sense launcher or 3rd party?? thanx
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I'm using Sense. If a picture will make you feel better I can take one. I have all of the animations turned off along with the animated weather and it runs very smooth. I also don't fill up 7 pages worth of widgets so that could be another contributing factor.
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
For everyday tasks I'm not worried at all. However I noticed that Dungeon Defenders uses about 122mb of ram and it caused the entire phone to crash because all the ram got depleted. How are you gonna tell me that a freaking smartphone game needs that much ram?
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
My sensation displays different values for available RAM in different places. Right now, the quick settings menu is displaying only 118mb free which sounds bad. However, the running applications tab in the settings menu displays 310 MB RAM available (even with xda app running in the background while I type this post). There is probably some caching of the file system going on which is released to running applications on demand (similarly to how Windows Vista and 7 fill all available memory with file system caching).

I'm really not too concerned with the 768 MB of RAM on sensation, I think it is adequate to future-proof the phone for a couple of years.
[HTC Sensation] Terra1:
I have come from the Desire HD and the improvement is worth the switch, however i am concearned the the availible RAM shown in the task manager is only 558mb not 768mb.

Is anybody else showing this?

Unless im missing something.................. Nobody else seems to be talking about this differance in RAM.

Having said that i am VERY happy with its performance......
[HTC Sensation] poisike:
I don't know what the Task Manager shows, i have a feeling it's not correct.

On my Sensation i always have over 300MB free (in Settings menu).

I also had DHD before, i did compare them and i didn't see much difference in memory usage with same apps installed on both phones.

About not all 768mb shown in memory, this is because some of it is reserved for GPU, this is normal.
[HTC Sensation] MartijnMM:
Shouldn't be needed with a powerhouse like this.

Point is that stuff isn't optimized, which is partly android's fault too.

But if the evo can have 1g, why not the sensation...

Give root + sense with lockscreen and clock only.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Not androids, HTCs fault. Mind you as someone already said, android is not optimized for 2x core, hopefully 2.4 update will be. (hopefully we will get it)
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
That's what I heard as well. It has a graphics chip swell so but not sure if that's being used. I read that Its taking out reserve memory so it's not using all 350mb but that's what I've read.
[HTC Sensation] Kezzainc:
Once we get a build that has sense stripped we will be fine. :-)
[HTC Sensation] salahag:
I don't believe RAM will affect performance much if at all.. the only concern is the phone shutting down essential background applications.

There's already a thread about people reporting Sense itself restarting quite often.

If HTC at least gave us similar RAM of competition people wont blame them for this dumb spec choice.
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
It is ok i think.....
[HTC Sensation] Jabbypants:
On a fresh boot you will get lots of ram but soon as things start kicking in you will end up with around 150 mark free which is a slight worry and soon as you run program or install things that soon goes down, I have had mine under 100 so far.

I was watching a review of the Evo 3D and forgetting the 3d side of it the phone is pretty much a Sensation but I notice they have upped that too 1gb of ram and that phone is smooth as butter, sense is super smooth unlike the Sensation so I have been thinking did the make a mistake with the amount of ram on this and put it right on the Evo.

I have until next friday to decide if I want to keep this and I think the lack of ram could be the deal breaker for me as I have a GS2 also and I tend to use Launcher pro on that, the GS2 makes this thing look laggy and slow but i do like the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
HTC need to optimize Sense 3.0........ it's a hog.

it's been showing around 130-150 mb consistently with everything killed.

but so far pretty smooth even with multiple apps open.

I do wish they had put in 1gb... who knows what hoggish apps are coming out in the future.

but considering LG 2x and Xperia Play both only have 512mb and they are more or less made for gaming, I guess 768 is ok, though both of them don't have hog Sense 3.0 running.
[HTC Sensation] Jabbypants:
It certainly does suck it up Sense, on the GS2 I am using 398 of 837mb available with lots of background things running and when I free the memory I am using 244 of 837, like sense some of the ram is taken up with the gpu I guess.

If they had put that extra in to make 1gb total and around 837 I guess like the GS2 would be available we would be fine on the ram front.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
You can thank all of that pre-installed bloatware. I can't wait until we get root so I can delete it all.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
I'm just hoping 768 MB will be enough to run Ice Cream Sandwich when it's released.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Eh...I'll have a new device by then. Updates are never on time so I suspect it won't be out until this time next year.
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
Of course it will, and by that time we'll have s-off and CM8 to run ICS smoothly.

I had cynogenmod ROM installed and then did some unlocking to run it on non ATT network. But somehow while trying to install another nightly, something went wrong and I was not able to see the last message on screen.

Is there any hope for me or I have an expensive paperweight now?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you can see something, you don't have a true brick.

Try pulling the battery, put it back in, hold vol up and volume down, and out on your usb cord. If that doesn't work, try booting up while holding vol down and power.

If that still doesn't work, you may need to get a jig.

A jig is a uhh, gadget for lack of a better word. That plugs into your phone's microusb slot and automatically puts it into download mode. If you google samsung captivate download mode jig.

hey all,

just wondering...

- what is the current status for getting custom kernels running on the x10 mini / mini pro?

- has development of a kexec module or something similar begun based on code written for other phones?

- if so, does anybody know how far people have gotten? what difficulties are we facing at the moment in those regards?

i'm wondering because if nobody has started working on a kexec module then i thought i might try, but if someone is already working on it then i'd be glad to lend a hand if needed / if i can...

cheers,

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] death_syndrome:
wht z a kexec module?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uriahheep:
a kexec module is a kernel module which reconstructs the kexec functionality (which allows one to execute a kernel from within another kernel) that the linux kernel can have. usually kexec support needs to be built into the kernel (i.e. not a module), but by loading modules such as splboot (which is the kexec module that is being developed in the X8 bootloader bypassing thread based on work that was done for the X10) one can execute a kernel from within the current kernel even if kexec support wasn't built into it.

[EDIT] actually, splboot doesn't exactly reconstruct kexec support, but does something similar. see this post and the few that follow for more details.
