is there a new update for the mini pro.. because what i remember i update it before i break it... too bad for if i have to wait for the next update..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krazybone:
As far as I know .58 was the most recent and I have 2.3.4 now

And that was only a week ago that I did it.

Doesnt companion have a repair function? Cant check right now since im at work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krazybone:
Should be able to do a repair on the update app.

I still have all the apps

What do you need?

Which apps have you removed that you need me to send. :)

You may wish to manually choose your model with SEUS, and click on SK17i icon to start over with it. And good luck !!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lucasra:
Guys i need some help

The mini pro is my first android device and i don't know how this 'adb driver' thing works.

THIS is the correct file for our sk17? And how to install it, it's just like installing any driver on Windows?

I've searched on the web and found various ways of setting up those adb drives

for some phones, so i would like to know how it's done in our mini pro. A tutorial

would be welcomed. Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
Yes, just install it :) You may also update your drivers via the ADB tool later on, dont worry
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] source06:
Sorry before for my next newbie question since i've just bought my xperia mini yesterday but can anyone tell me how do I delete the preinstalled apps like office suite? I've already root my mini's
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krazybone:
Just used titanium backup,

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

but there is a free one

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anttek.am

In my opinion titanium is much better and safer
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ceroberoz:
can I remove these component(s) without do the 'rooting' ritual first?

because didn't want to lose both the original boot loader and the ROM

thanks for the answer
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lucasra:
Thanks mate. That's the correct driver then?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davezachc:
Need some helpppp.

Well, I uninstalled most of the apps in the list (on the first post of this thread). Using Root Explorer(obviously after rooting my phone). I didn't uninstall anything else out of the list. But when I tried to go back to the homescreen, I couldn't. The homescreen didn't load up. So I restarted my phone, and now its stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. Any ideas what went wrong?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adamo86:
hi there are some games i can see on titanium backup like peggle but i dont see it on my app drawer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
Well you obviously deleted something importand. I have uninstalled everything on the list and my phone works :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SupremeUltimateFist:
Note: I discovered that if you disable/uninstall "Event Stream Engine" you don't get the tabs along the bottom of a Contact screen to include their SMS etc. Because I like this feature I re-enabled Event Stream Engine and froze everything else to do with Timescape (which I don't use), and everything works fine. HTH.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dryhte:
You can't do it without rooting, but that can be accomplished without unlocking/losing your boot loader or ROM! Use option 1 from the OP. It's what I used, and apart from being rooted (and having gotten rid of loads of unwanted apps), I still have everything stock and haven't unlocked my bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
how come "home screen tips" isn't in the list? Better not to remove that app?

?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Manipulation:
If you've installed SEUS then you will have the updated ADB Drivers already installed.

You can check if your device is rooted by an app on the Android market. Think its called Root Checker. Just search it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] apyh:
just as long as you did not unlocked the bootloader then the rest is just fine. Rooting the phone to remove unwanted apps is not dangerous yet fun. just my humble opinion:D:D:D:D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] j sta:
In need of an advice, I run xperia ray, was .62 then flashed with wotan to .42 and rooted.

I removed some of the apps from this list (not all of them).

I tried then to update OTA to .62 but each downloads, restarts, installs and after another restart it says 'could not update, try again' - tried a few times all same results.

Before I go reinstalling all from backup, or go back to wotan and start over just want to ask, maybe anybody has any idea, any past experiences?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
If you have firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62, you cannot root directly with this. You need to downgrade first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AnnS:
Hey! That's happening because you removed apps before updating. That's why it's recommended to downgrade, root and update without uninstalling system apps. After the OTA update, you can remove what you want. The people I've heard/read with this problem, have had to flash the firmware again. So I don't think you'll be able to succesfully update without re-flashing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iFilae:
Some apps succses removed... thanks for the list. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] diviajar1969:
For noobs like me WHO have/had 'read-only' problems:

After rooting, I've tried everything to delete files, uninstall stuff... But I'd get "read-only"... I've downloaded terminal and tried to chmod, remount, etc... Same message.

Solution: I've gone into settings of ES File Explorer and made changes to be able to go to root access directories and it mounted "/" with read and write permissions. Problem solved!

sent from my xperia mini pro rooted thanks to doomlord (TY Doomlord!!!)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Why use Terminal for such operations? Quite a lot of working typing in everything.

Just use any root explorer app.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
the proper way to remove Moxier Pro is.....

Setting/Location & Security/Device Administration.....

inside it disable Moxier Pro....after that you can uninstalled Moxier Pro using default uninstaller (no need root).....

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

hmmm...i don't why people keep using Doomlord to rooted their devices when you just can use Flashtool (single apps) to do it.....

if you are on .62 firmware, just downgrade it using Flashtool....after downgraded use flashtool again to rooted your devices....

if it works then go to superuser on your devices & update the binary...once updated then you can upgrade your firmware back to .62

To upgrade your firmware using OTA...go to update center on your devices then press the menu button & go to setting....click on automatic update & select via WiFi only....make sure the automatic update have been check then go back to update center main then press menu/refresh....you can update using OTA after that....

these step works on my Xperia Mini Pro....now my devices is rooted on.62 firmware....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
4.0.2.A.0.62 and 4.0.2.A.0.69 firmwares cannot be rooted.

Downgrade/Install older version of stock firmware, root with the same application and then make update from your phone directly to newer firmware.

To install older version, check my tutorial, there is guide and required files posted, link in signature.

may i delete google services? in battery use there is like 30% usage by google services, also it eats up a lot of ram.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Don't delete, but freeze with Titanium Backup for example.

Else Play Store will not be available. And other Google functions also.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thinair11:
16hours 15min of battery time running, battery left 50%. Usage 1st place 35% google services, display 30%, cell standby 13%, phone idle 11%, wifi 3%, android system 2%. Is there a log somewhere inside of phone where can i see all time statistics? I have phone since April 20th or so, and never seen google services using that much. It used to be mostly display around 50%. I actually running go launcher ex past few days, maybe it has something to do with go launcher?

Google services showed 4 things running under it (google calendar sync, contact sync, network location, google services frame work). I froze all of them, and google play store stopped working, i had a feeling its due to framework, and i was right, so defrosted it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kira.Lawliet:
Go launcher ex is abit cpu/battery hog when compared to other launcher not to mention it has also a built-in task manager(dunno though if it still has that since i use stock.)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thinair11:
yes it does have task manager, but i deleted it, the best task manager is the stock one. what are the other popular, and not that much demanding cpu/battery launchers?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
That depends on the shop. There is no official manufacturer warranty, the shops have their own repair shops where the work is done. - That info is provided by Sony.

Some shops accept rooted phones to be repaired, some don't. If you mess up something in root, that phone requires to be taken to service, then they will likely make you pay.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Ask the shop, we don't know. That info varies with different shops.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] The Third God:
You won't need this list if you just install System Application Remover application and also you won't be worry about damaging your necessary system files. The files are classified to three groups:

Red color applications - Those which shouldn't be removed.

Yellow color applications (I can't remember the color well) - Those which should be removed with caution.

Green color applications - Those which you can remove without any caution.

[Motorola Photon 4G] fendergrab:
Is there a way to get this on the stock Photon rom? I've tried Poweramp, that's a no go, it doesn't turn the volume up when you long press, but it doesn't skip either. Player Pro's take on it works kinda clunky too. This is my most missed feature from cm7. Any input would be appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
These types of CM7 "hotkeys" generally don't exist on stock. You might check to see if some ROM authors would be willing to add to their ROMs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fendergrab:
The problem with that is there are not many roms available for the Photon. I just need to know how and what to modify. Also, the music players that allow this feature, Poweramp and Mixzing, that worked on my Evo do not work on the Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fendergrab:
Since I can't really get a good answer for this I turned to "Just Shake" on the market. It gives the ability to skip by double tapping the volume up or down keys. I haven't even played with any of the shake settings yet, but it works well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] madeSICC:
I use tactile player. Its double tap just like the one you described

Can You tell me wich files I need mod in stock to add this "hotkeys" ?

Im in the same boat. I've been told that its the rom that needs to be modified, but nobody says what part or HOW to modify it. I gave up on the idea.

can someone PLEASE help me out here?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francescopp:
hi.

you don't need to root in order to upgrade, there is a way to upgrade through kies that involve registry editing, but is too messy and personally I haven't been able to make it work not even once! if you want you could try to do that, search in the forum kies registry editing or something like that..

the other way, and plain simple, is flash whatever gb rom you like through odin, go to samfirmware, sammobile (is the same, and you have to create an account) and download the one you like. there is a thread in the forum that also post the download links of the stock roms ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913&highlight=stock+rom) then flash it and that's it... after you finish flashing, the phone wont be rooted or anything..

there are plenty of tutorials on how to flash a rom through odin, and it really isn't complicated at all...

remember to backup all your info, even tough the info on the internal sdcard wont be erased.

and as always and as everybody in this forum, i'm not responsible for anything!

[HTC Desire S] DJM01:
Hello all.

I'm having some major problems with my Desire S - stock firmare v1.47, T-Mobile - and would be very thankful for any support and advice provided :o

I've had the phone since late August, and just over a month of having it, the phone completely died. T-Mobile replaced the mainboard, and returned it. Since receiving the repaired handset, text messages are delayed when coming through - sometimes upto an hour. Sent it off to T-Mobile again, and this time they've replaced the antenna. The same thing is happening.

While it was away the second time, I did some research and found lots of people claiming it's an issue with the 1.47 update on the Desire S.

The main reason for this thread is just to ask what my best options are from here. I'm ok S-OFFing and flashing another ROM, or downgrading if this is possible and will definitely resolve this issue; but as I'm a certified noob, I was wondering what advice you guys may have for me :D

Thanks,

DJM.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
can't you just flash the 1.28 RUU?
[HTC Desire S] DJM01:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

I used a T-Mobile 1.30 RUU, and S-OFF'd with revolutionary.

I *think* I might have cracked it - touch wood.

I'm amazed at android releasing updates which impede such basic functions though:confused:
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
great, hope you get it sorted:D
[HTC Desire S] DJM01:
Thanks man :D

I'm getting texts through as they should at the moment, so fingers crossed it will stay that way.

I recommend that anyone with a Desire S, especially on T-Mobile UK, resists the urge to upload to 1.47 :p
