Had to wait around a month before somebody at XDA decided to do a forum for the Ray, but they kind of messed up the logic of the tree structure. Just do not get why there is no section about themes and apps... Saw lot of ray owners posting the Arc section. (resolution is the same, would make sense to put them together).

As per MIUI there is a 99% working here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301406
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukewong01:
THen can i use their ARc ROM and copy those libs and modules and replace it?

but still some bugs here

What doesn't work

Taking Screenshots with MIUI application (menu + volume down)

Flashlight when taking photo's (torch app works)

Google maps => to test if it still drains the battery

wifi tethering => it loads, but I can't connect my portable, to be tested by others.. usb tethering works for me

I will be starting development soon for the ray. I have to work on the arc s, play, x10 and the ray so you will have more well one more anyways. Head over to my thread at the x10 forums. It's called Nocturnal_1.4.2_REVOLUTION and you will get a taste of what's to come.

on the 4pda forum (russia) there's a man called "aire", he is making a repack for our device, it works very well. he's also developing a kernel, with overclock and a lot of governors. it also works rather well. i advice it to everyone)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lukewong01:
Thanks Blackwatch! :D..cool!...Maybe you could request to separate Ray Forum from Mini pro , active? ...Most of the ppl in XDA dunno that there is a Ray forum..:(

Other: Thanks for the useful information...:D....

I dunno how to multi-quote =3=, Aha...:D...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
I also think the Ray should have it's own forum or at least be paired with the Arc forum, since it's basically a smaller Arc with the same hardware.

The Minis and Active are inferior devices.

How you do bro. I have the ray too if you want me to test it for you. I have the play, ray, arc s and x10 (the last 2 you already know ;)) pm me if you need me to be a tester for you. Remember what me and you did for achotjan. Well the same applies here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BinaryXeroMedia:
Wrong. The arc and ray have completely different hw. I know because I have them both. The screen and colour is like 1000x better on the ray. I have never known an LCD screen with so much detail. The arc has a really weird bright tint to it so black looks gray as where black looks black on the ray. Also if they were the same also the camera would have red eye reduction flash like the arc but it don't as the camera and led is different also the CPU is different model. Arc uses snapdragon and we use qaulcomm. Also where the arc s has also different hardware by the slightest it would cause many to end up bricking devices because people like yourself (no offence) thinking it has the same hardware. I looked into this when I first got my arc s and noticed massive differences. I personally think the ray is in the right section with the mid range small screened devices. And the reason it had a desperate sub forum is because it is different to the mini devices. Not only that we already have the Neo, pro, and arc s in our forum and it would only confuse people with which rom is which for who and where and to much clutter. Also for the hw side if things again. The ray has two capacitive buttons and a front facing camera as to also a different s1boot model. You can check by going into a store with a display model of the arc and going into the service menu. I hope this explains things a bit for you guys and also I will say some of my info may not be all correct but its just what I have read up on some sites and circuit manuals.

the full Xperia 2011 lines uses the same MSM8255/MSM7x30 chipset...

the difference is in the screen sizes, touch screen, camera....

I believe another problem with the development is that many phones still have locked bootloaders (without fastboot) when they were bought straight from the carrier on contract. I'll try building a kexec module for the Urushi's kernel and see how it handles booting a second kernel. I just hope it's not as bad as trying on the X10 *shudders*

I have rooted my phone with a stock 2.3.3 gingerbread and by going threw teh clock work mod. I would like to a rom and kernel that I can reroot with that will give me stable OC speed. Also what does it mean to UV and how do I know how much I should UV when I OC my phone. Thanks for anyone who can help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Use NVFlash to get CWM. Once you have that you can flash new ROM's, just don't forget to wipe and format /system first.

UV is under-volting your processor via a kernel. You can do that with Faux's kernel. Although for now, I suggest you stick with stock kernels and read up on what other kernels do before applying them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
Big thanks to Biggoron.

This shouldn't effect your phone or harm it but if you screw it up its not my fault always have a backup.

I figured Id do a how to for some new people or those who never thought of this. Anyways....

1. You'll need some kind of root viewer root explorer es file manager etc. (Make sure your system is rewritable)

2. A .wav file is needed so find one you like however if you don't have one or only have a mp3 then use an online converter.

3.Once you have those two go into your root file viewer and find /system then go into the etc file and scroll down until you see a PowerOn.wav if you don't see one then it's fine. However go ahead and delete it and paste your .Wav file sound and rename it to PowerOn.wav Reboot and you should hear your sound playing. I if not your phone sucks ^^ no but then you did something wrong or your kernel may not support it.

UI Sounds

Okay for UI sounds it very similiar except go into the media folder in /system find audio and look in UI folder. For (the touch sound) find TW_Touch.ogg and delete it and paste your .ogg file you'd liked to use I personally just rename the Effect_Tick.ogg to TW_Touch and it sounds like the normal gingerbread touch tone. (Charger Connection Sound) is the Charger_Connection.ogg and the the full battery notification is TW_Battery_caution and lastly the low battery notification is TW_Low_Battery.

Just reboot and the new sounds shall take effect.

Have fun wasting some time customizing your phone.

Very nice write up bro! Couldn't have said any of that better myself!
[Verizon Droid Charge] stranula:
A suggestion, you mention going in and changing your images to RGB in photoshop, or for the indexed ones, using gimp then photoshop. After a bit of trial and error, for me what works best is to use faststone photo resizer Its free and can batch process images. What I do is just add the images to the batch convert list, save as png, and don't change any of the attributes of the images, and "convert" them into the same folder they started from. This will automatically go through and change them all to RGB and you won't have to manually do it for each one. Hopefully that makes sense...Its been a loooooong day
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tory Gaurnier:
Issues after editing images

I just came upon this thread, I edited a lot of the images in the drawable-xhdpi folder in framework-res.apk, I ran into the issue where all my "ticks" (the black frame things) were slightly lightened so I fixed those, there is now no errors when I build, however when I put it on my phone and attempt to boot it freezes at the initial boot animation.

Now I have already edited XML, and everything works when I do that, I keep the original signature by taking the res folder and resources.arsc file out of my edited apk and put them in the original (and I make sure resources.arsc isn't compressed), the issue only arrised after editing images. And when I edit the images the ONLY thing I change is colors, the indexed images I converted to rgb (didn't convert them back, that's not an issue is it?), I litterally just used hue-saturation to alter blues to oranges, then went back and re-blackened all the black frame things where applicable. So I didn't resize anything, and I didn't do anything fancy.

Now I know I can go through and try changing one image at a time, but I figured I'd ask on here first, has anyone run into a similar issue? And if so what are some common things that can cause this?

Once again, the issue is after editing the images my phone freezes on the boot animation the second it starts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tory Gaurnier:
Well I ended up just redoing them all in smaller groups, no clue what was wrong before, especially since there were no errors on build, but it's no longer an issue.

I'm thinking you should wait for ICS OTA so the you can flash a custom ICS ROM. Unlock you boot loader now though as it wipes Storage. The you'd be all set and can put files on without worrying about them disappearing like my photos from when I first got the phone. Oops.

The are plenty of guides stickied in the development section. Just read those. It's all really easy to do on the NS. ;)
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
Hey, welcome to the NS!

Follow this guide for unlocking your bootloader and instructions on how to root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007782

The best GB setup is, as on any device, a personal thing.

I prefer MV ROM, it's a Cyanogenmod extended ROM with additional tweaks; together with franco's kernel. Many people like Matrix's kernel as well.

Some people like the MIUI ROMs because of their graphical capabilities (ie; the way they look).

I think the best you can do is play around and have fun with all the different flavors. You can even try the ICS alpha's, they're getting good and definitely good enough for daily usage.

Good luck,

[General Questions and Answers] alexisjmz:
ok, so here's the thing... I have almost no experience with android, but I want to be messing with my phone so I can learn from experience...

I read that motoblur eats up a lot of CPU from the phone, so I tried to remove some parts that I though they would not affect the functionally of the phone. basically I uninstalled the socialmedia and other similar software that was "related" or had socialmedia on the name.

as a result, my contacts that sync from facebook were deleted from the contact list.

so before I started to remove these programs, extensions, or whatever, I made a backup of each using titanium backup, but when I tried to restore the backup, no matter with which one I started, the thing didn't restore the program, it just stayed as "performing installation" or something and nothing happen. I leave a "restoration" of one of the programs all night and nothing...

so I decided to make a hard rest to the phone. And the nighmare begins...

Once the phone boots, the first thing you see is the configuration of the motoblur account, so I just input my user and pass and hit next and nothing happens...

well, that's no true, it goes back to home screen of the motoblur configuration and ask me to do the account setup again, and again and again... you get the point. it's cycled or I remove something that does not allow the process to continue... and since I cannot configure the blur account, I cannot access the Phone to use it, or make a system nandroid backup, a restore of app o even make a phonecall that it's not a emergency (911) call.

I'm affraid to start messing with the phone since I'm located in Mexico, and my provider is telcel, so I don't know if all of the roms and hacks will leave my phone working in my country (I've only seen rom from argentina, china, europe, so I'm a little scared to start messing with the roms)

Is there any way to patch the motoblur 2.2.1 like in this post? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169038&page=68

can the phone be booted to install gingerbread without any special software installed? the phone was rooted, but since I made a hard reset, I don't know if it remains rooted...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcastillousfq:
Hi everybody,

I'm having problems with my phone and the HDMI connection. It's the sound the one with the problem, this happens when I connect my phone to my monitor which doesn't have speakers. I was hoping to plug the 3.5mm headphone jack from the phone to some external speakers but after the hdmi it's connected, the audio stops paying through the external speakers. I'm assuming that all sound is redirected through the hdmi cable. Is there a way that I can connect my speakers to the phone and use hdmi at the same time?

PS: if anybody has some Bluetooth speakers I would live to heart if you have the same problem, I'm going to buy some Bluetooth speakers real soon
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryogenix:
i guess not... the first time i tried connecting my phone to a samsung bx2250, i was also completely ignorant that the sound on the phone will totally get fed via the hdmi... and so that's where i learned that i needed to plug my speakers to the monitor's audio jack... and if ever you're considering buying something just to make it work, i guess buying a new monitor with hdmi and audio out would be better worth it than just bluetooth speakers...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcastillousfq:
The problem is that I just bought my new monitor and I'm not going to change it now. I love my monitor.

Finding a monitor with speakers built-in is really rare, they do exist, but again they are rare.

I'm going to buy the bluetooth speakers for not just my phone, also my laptop and all the other stuff I have with bluetooth.

I'm pretty sure there has to be a way of doing this, maybe changing ROMs. Or maybe just installing an app that could do this.

I'm just speculating but I have a feeling that the hdmi sound is controlled over software, and we can still redirect the output through the phone speakers and/or the headphone jack. Too bad I'm not a developer too find out about it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcastillousfq:
I just received my Bluetooth receiver and everything is fixed now.

So since there is no sound output through the normal outputs, when the HDMI is connected, the bluetooth does output sound.

So if you only have a monitor, without speakers and you want to still use to connect to your phone. Bluetooth speakers or a receiver will work perfectly! :D
