[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] marti4578:
Hello Guys i am a proud owner of the x10i and i am forever flashing with custom roms. I am sure you are aware that Gingerbread has been released for the xperia models and like with the x10i is anyone going to take the stock rom and tweak it to be faster than normal. My girlfriend hates her x10 mini pro and i am trying to help her like it as she cannot upgrade until January.

Thanks in advance guys

Marti :-)

Ps i ask for a tweaked stock rom as she would like all features to work if at all possible :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
I'm aware of 2 Eclair ROMs for the mini pro

Sony Ericsson W8 E16i Port

Iridium rom (U20i)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
I just made my own custom 2.1 ROM in a couple of hours time using dsixda kitchen.

Base ROM : 2.1.C.0.0

Modifications:

-removed a ****load of apps/games/services/wallpapers etc.

-dual recovery

-end call with sleep button

-change AZERTY -> QWERTY

-HTC Black Theme by draco_ag

-standard launcher replaced with zeam 2.8.8

etc.

It's mega-fast! (and stable!) :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
heya, X10i is the regular xperia x10 yeh?

if so, would have to disappoint you in that there is no stock froyo or gingerbread for minipro :(

also none of the custom roms, even those based on the stock one, will work with timescape i think.

but, there are still some good roms out there

- For froyo you might want to try out cyanocomb or FroyoCM 6 (also look for madbulls hotfix to v6.01.2)

- For gingerbread i'd definately advise GingerDX

also, gingerDX works with the SE Active launcher (much like the stock SE one)

I have a Big (or maybe little) problem.

Yesterday i got stuck on flashing to WB rom dint boot again and cant get acces to Xrecovery so i did flash back to 2.1 again i thought.

now PC Companion reconised it to be GB and install the stock GB rom.

But now i cant get Xrecovery, Busybox and Root Explorer to work.

I have still Costum Kernel installed so is there any way to get it all to work again?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJE:
You need to download your original firmware from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872298

Or if you can't find it just look for global firmware and download that

Then extract the ftf from what ever firmware you decided to download and put it in the firmware folder in flashtool

Then flash your x10 and that will install 2.1 firmware onto your phone.

Then you need to (with flashtool) root your phone. Then after reboot, ask permissions, then add xrecovery..

Then you can re flash custom 2.3

[HD2 General] AeQ:
Hi all,

I hope someone will be able to help me. Yesterday I tried to install Android, followed the steps on jayceooi.com/2011/01/07/how-to-install-nand-android-on-htc-hd2-with-clockworkmod-recovery-video/. I made the mistake to install HSPL 4 instead of 3. After installing MAGLDR, my phone gets stuck in the white HTC screen. I can get in the red/green/blue/white screen and it says I am running SPL-3.03.HSPL (CotullaHSPL).

I have used the search function, but this did not resolve my problem. Also I have performed a hard reset, without any result. I am new to this, and I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance,

Stefan
[HD2 General] jirka607:

[G2 and Desire Z General] Matty Matt:
Hello guys! currently I am on contract with a HTC Desire, and I will be getting an upgrade soon and have been looking at the Desire Z for the slide out keyboard and more pocket-sized shape in comparison with the massive DHD screen. And I've lost interest in the Sensation due to lack of rootability :D

So my question is this: Is the slide out keyboard prone to snapping/failing? I ask this because once upon a time i had an LG KS360 which i loved for the same reason: the sliding keyboard w/ QWERTY layout. Only thing is, about 7 months of ownership resulted in a broken keyboard. There was no hope...no response, rotation wouldn't always work when sliding it out :( so i really don't want to go through that 'pain' again ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] RyNkA:
Pros and Cons

I'm using this DZ (Asia version) for about..well...8 months since Dec. last year and there're some pros and cons of its

Pros :

- The body : stylish...i really like the Z-hinge, it's verrrrryyy cooollllllllllllllllllll (and manly too :D)

- The keyboard : perfect for email & sms-ing

- Hardware : Insane overclocking , i'm using unity mod rite now and it acts like a miracle

- HTC sense is unbeatable :mad:

The DZ can be protected by otterbox commuter protection hard case :)..you can google it too..I'm satisfy with this case. Don't worry much about the Z-hinge. I used to drop the DZ twice (about 2-3 times) but it's ok :)

Cons :

- Heavy (in compare with others smartphone)

- I don't like the tungsten color ! => it's black now with the otterbox case.

- A bit outdated at the moment...

Personal Opinion :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] michael9413:
Very individual preference... For me it is my 1st smartphone with hardware keyboard, and now I'm waiting for a new one with duo core to come out... Then I'll consider it...

Pros:

Hardware Keyboard

Sexy hinge

Aluminium Unibody

A lot of Rom support from private developers n compilers

HTC Sense

Somewhat rarely ppl will buy, because of it's weight

Physical camera shutter key

Cons:

Heavy

Hinge somewhat a lil unreliable (touchwood mine done have much problem)

Battery, I hope for slightly better (around 1600mAh)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
I love this phone. Went from an HTC s720 to a HTC Hero and now to the HTC Desire Z and it, IMO, still can compete with most phones on the market despite its age. Personally, I like the extra weight of the DZ, gives me confidence in the unit that I'm holding and lets me know that it's sturdy. I've dropped it from my nightstand afew times (before I got the otterbox) and came out unscathed.

Pros:

Screen (not too big, not to small)

Form Factor (fits perfectly in the palm of one hand and no need to reach for anything)

Hinge (Never seen a hinge like this, loose from the factory, but there are tutorials on how to rectify)

Hardware keyboard (nuff said)

Trackpad

3.5mm audio out

Dedicated camera button

Aluminium body/design (watch out for the battery cover, the film they apply at the factory is weak, but again, there are some sick tutorials out there to polish and clean it)

Cons:

800Mhz from the factory (not really a problem once you're rooted and etc with a custom rom and kernel, I have mine set at 1.3GHz)

No FFC (non-issue really, just another bell i'd like to have to make the phone complete)

Battery (Stock is weak, barely last me a day. Invest in a Mugen 1800mAh and you won't regret it)

Two tone front (would have preferred they keep the front all black or all silver, not both)

IMO, the Pros of this device kill the cons. Every con for the DZ has a fix or workaround for it. Most fixes cost less than $10 and only some of your time. Again, despite it's age, I would still recommend this if you are looking for a powerful phone with a hardware keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thomas_wlc:
fyi:the sensation got root and s-off in the last couple of days. There's a guide for it here: Guide
[G2 and Desire Z General] Matty Matt:
Oh really? hmm...last time i checked it was only temp-root! nevertheless, I still feel more 'drawn' towards the desire Z. Anyways, I'll see what happens. Thanks guys!
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I personally wouldn't get invested into he DesireZ at this point in the year. It has been out for a long time (in the smartphone world) and I'd rather spend my money on a more current device with up-to-date specs that you'll get a longer relevant use out of.

Not to say that the DZ is a bad phone, but it definitely is fading in its spec relevance. The hinge is durable, but definitely not as solid as a flat slider type hinge. If you really don't need a keyboard though, you can do better for the $$.
[G2 and Desire Z General] michael9413:
agree... if you have a really good deal then it might be a different story... :)

i got mine about 5 months ago... i can say it should be staying with me till the market got a new one with dual core and hardware keyboard... :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
If your in canada, id wait for the "milestone 3" that bell will be announcing shortly. (Droid3 but little different) or do what I'm doing and wait for rogers to release the samsung galaxy 2 slide, due out sometime this fall, it looks sick as hell :) google it there's leak photos already. But the dz is awesome I love it, but I would rather a more solid slide mechanism.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
All the negative hype about the z-hinge is completely overblown. I've been on here since December, and I think I've heard of one guy who broke the hinge. That is probably LESS failures than a more traditional slider-type keyboard.

Some people complain the hinge is too loose, but its designed to open and close with minimal effort. If you haven't already, try out the hinge in person, and see if you like how it works. Personally, I've had my DZ for about 8 months now. While I originally wished it stayed in the closed position a little tighter; its still as sturdy feeling as the day I got it. And I really don't think anymore about how "loose" the hinge is.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moolash:
I only miss a front camera.

I love this device!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Grundoko:
The Z-Hinge is tougher than it's given credit for. I mean, you can go into any Best-Buy or Futureshop where phones are on display, and where all the slider phones are loosened up and beaten to crap, the Z-Hinge on the Desire Z always still works fine. I've had my phone for 4 months now, and the Z-Hinge is still just like it was the day I got it. Slightly loose, but that's by design, it's gotten no looser.

I asked basically the same question on their website and haven't gotten a response as yet. I have a amazon acct thus id prefer to use that since I don't purchase anything on the Android Market. Might be a first for this app tho. We will see!

Please do not ask for someone to post the apk for you. It will be counted as warez, and warez are not allowed on xda.

Look in to getting a prepaid debit card if you want to buys apps

does boot manager work for DZ?!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] slapshot30:
I didn't think so... I thought there was a thread talking about it before. I don't think the DZ has enough memory to do this.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] RobBull69:
Disregard, I spaced
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] billnye1999:
HTC Vision is the DZ/G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
HTC Vision = HTC Desire Z and HTC G2

this program installs the rom on to your sdcard, so you will need plenty of space and athe better the memory card the better.

I briefly spoke to the developer of this app who said that sense rom tend to have a lot of lag when running of the sdcard, but aosp roms should run without to many problems

This works with the Desire Z

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] darks1der:
I don't want the app for free as i am a big supporter of this developer. I have his cpu boost pro. I just want to know are there other ways of paying for the app and getting it besides market?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Conap:
Hey guys I ran into this thread while looking into some troublshooting for a desire z customer...I appreciate those who have asked not to discuss uploading it although the app has google market license so it wouldn't work anyway. We have had a few people who are looking into alternative ways to purchase as the op here wanted to do. We are considering some other markets such as amazon but currently we have been a little busy with trying to help people with the app as well as get the bugs worked out. Hopefully we can get something figured out soon. Thanks for all the support.

boot manager

2 days ago i received this application and it works very well,now i use miui rom,xboarder and ics,i would definitely recommend.

note:

if you buy app,after first run you must go this app settings,and check "force large boot.img"
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noneabove:
Just a side note unless they've fixed it recently, when trying to install a sense rom it won't work unless you resize the system file to be a bit bigger, just a note :)

also how does ICS run off of it?? I had this app before but haven't used it since switching to ICS
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] murat1369:
i use ics slim v.1.0 without problem,but first use on ics,uninstall bootmanager and reinstall,it work switch from prog or bootmanager widget at ics slim 1.0,i don't try another ics.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Spastic909:
It's never worked for me before
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] G1ForFun:
Do not waste your time/money with this app. It takes longer to use this app than rebooting to recovery, backing up your current rom, flashing a new rom manually.

Not to mention all of the little quirks and issues.

Also if you want to have more than two or three roms in boot manager, you need a lot of sdcard space and you need a fast sdcard. The stock sdcard won't cut it for this app because the roms you switch between are running from your sdcard.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
So I just got this phone early today, have it rooted and unlocked etc. now I just need to flash my first custom rom.

I loaded up Alien 2 onto an SD card, rebooted into recovery through CWM, ran a backup etc. from recovery, I wasn't able to see my sd card for some reason. This was after I wiped my data of course.

So I try to restore my backup, and it can't mount /data for whatever reason. I rebooted the phone and my old rom was still there and in working order.

What did I do wrong? I moved the rom into internal storage so I'll try that next time. Will /data screw me over though?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
You'll need to unlock the bootloader then fastboot flash Tenfar's custom CWM recovery image from the development section. The recovery in ROM Manager is broken for wiping data and so I assume other things aswell.

Hope this helps

- DarkRyoushii
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobos512:
In Tenfar's CWM thread someone made a .zip file of his recovery so it can be flashed using ROM Manager - no need for fastboot now.
[HTC Sensation] Deleted member 2653512:
Just an observation here. Maybe someone with more knowledge can answer.

But now that all T-Mobile USA users have S-off... should we open a new forum for T-Mobile USA phones? I ask this because it seems we will have custom ROMs based off foreign RUUs and OTAs all mixed up in the same thread. Which would bring a lot of "Can I flash this if I'm a USA T-Mo user?" type questions.

Now this may just be a misunderstanding and the custom ROMs may not affect the radio or whatever & thus not be an issue. Just the same I felt it better to ask the question and look stupid than keep it to myself and be right.

Anyone?
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
I don't think any of the forums split the development sections in the way you're suggesting. You should be able to flash any ROM regardless of what the base is. Just have to read up to make sure it plays nice as some introduce bugs.
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
I understand what you mean but i don't think its needed provided you read the rom post
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
at one point threre was two forums for the hd2 leo and tmobile us so it can happen
[HTC Sensation] ashasaur:
Indeed. The Leo and T-Mobile US HD2 once had their own forums, but they where eventually merged into one once it became clear that with the proper labeling of releases people where more likely to successfully flash something, than not(IE, that's why we enforce the ROM labeling system that we do here, which was kanged from the HD2 section).

As of right now I see no need to split these forums, as currently ROMs seem to be interchangeable between regions and devices.
[HTC Sensation] Deleted member 2653512:
Okay. I guess that was part of my question. For example, I saw this ROM posted and it's based on official HTC RUU 1.35.401.1

But since I'm a T-Mobile USA user I wasn't sure if the ROM would alter the frequencies my device operates on...etc. I believe this was an issue back when I had the Samsung Vibrant. There was a European variant known as the i9000. We could not flash the i9000 ROMS without having them ported to our Vibrants properly.

[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
"Frequencies" are hardware related. A ROM cannot change the frequency that a phone uses :)

thank you so much for answering. so i can update both my rom and my radio and not worry about it? if so... that's awesome. i just like to run the most up to date software/firmware...etc.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Not sure about radio to be honest though...so don't quote me on that :p
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
I suspect it will be like the different modems on the SGS series of phones ( I had a Captivate ), I tried Mike's rom on my T-mo USA Sensation and when I tested the data speeds I got about 1/2 the dl speed sitting in the same spot within however long it took to run my recovery ( ran speedtest 5 times and averaged out ).

I'm sure they will iron out the radio thing before long, other than the data speed issue the Rom ran perfect.

Yep, kicked the Samsung to my GF

Did a quick search seems like no one have made a thread on this.

Attached is what is believed to be, the new SE launcher to come with the 2.3.4 update for the 2011 range Xperia handsets,

which is now also working on X10 with the 2.3.3 update ;)

the new launcher feels smoother, with ability to uninstall apps from app drawer and theme functions (however no themes are provided by SE at this stage)

*EDIT - the power control widget is SwitchPro widget, clock widget is SimiClock. both available from Market.
