Ok so Here is a link to Cyanogen Mod 7 which is a custom rom for all New xperia's imo probably the best custom rom out there. This will require you to have an unlocked boot loader on your phone.

Your second option is to root your device and remove the systems apps you dont like with titanium backup available off the android market.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] EvgeniyDragunov:
Its for my girlfriend and she realy likes some things on it so i will need to modify.

I tried CM7 on some other phones and i must say i realy like it.

Ok few more questions....

1. If i root it flash kernel or flash rom can i recover it like it use to be? (cwm or odin back the way it was)

2. Does the multi boot work on this phone?

3. Can i extract some apps from i5800 froyo and restore them on gingerbread?

4. If i root it how do i do it and can i unroot? (i need samba installed asap)

Thx for the answer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sgt-Hartley:
1. Just use flashtool to flash a stock firmware for your handset. FlashTool

2. As for multiboot im not sure sorry.

3. You can use titanium backup and try, although its not garunteed to work.

4. If you are planning to flash cm7 it will be pre-rooted after the flash. all you need is unlocked boot loader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alchnemesis:
Just have in mind that if you unlock your bootlocker (wich is essential if you are planing to put CM) you gonna lose your warranty.

About task manager, you can use Advanced task killer, who is avaliable at android market for free. There u can manage what process you want to leave running and wich one you want to be killed.

With rooted phone you can uninstall some of the system programs, just like Facebook

Here is the thread about unlocking:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] EvgeniyDragunov:
So basically if i use this tool i want lose warranty as far as i dont touch bootlocker????

I downloaded some task managers of the market but when i kill apps they restart automaticaly.

One more question.

If i root it uninstall apps via titanium can i restore the apps by wipeing the phone???

THX
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alchnemesis:
Yes, that is correct. You wont lose your warranty as long as you don't touch bootlocker. And with that tool I linked to you, you can easily root your phone and unroot it when ever you like (tested myself).

Some applications will always return back to process tree, simple as, thats how they work :D

For example, facebook is always in background to notify you about notifications and those things, even if you didn't set up an facebook account, he will always be in background.

That's stupid, I know, but that doesn't suck your battery or similar.

You can always restore all Google applications with ClockworkMod recovery.

second there is notification when i turn on gps that might be some internet trafic involved. (if i turn off data plan is there posibily some internet trafic going on) is it gps or only agps?

third i know this phone is storeing all data how do i read it any viewer?

Hey guys, it looks like the HTC Rezound is close to getting S-Off by Evil. If you didn't know, the Rezound has had a locked bootloader all this time just like us. Can we look to how they got root to help with our own efforts. The method of getting S-Off between these two phones can't be that different, can it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1375598

EDIT: Apparently links to his site are prohibited. But just google "s-off think tank" to get to Evil's site.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
They look close resembling. Worth a shot and try.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I'm pretty sure the internals are very very alike too. The only difference I've read is the screen size. They both came out around the same time, so I'd think they'd be locked in a very similar fashion.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
If they are very close then you can take their way and use to the Vivid bootloader
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I hope so... That seems to be a pretty good option right now. I posted this same thing in the "think tank" thread in the dev section, so hopefully a skilled dev can take it into consideration.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
Just got a tweet back from the Evil man himself and he said "we can try"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
So would we use his exact method? Or would we have to tweak a few little things? I know for many Samsung phones, you can use the universal SuperOneClick root. Would it work kind of like that?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
Probably tweak it a bit
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Yeah, that's probably what we'll need to do. Hopefully, he unlocks it soon.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
He already decoded the tokens. Just now need to decode what the .bin files changes.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Apparently he is very very close. The link said days, if not hours away. Would he be the one to tweak it for us or would one of us have to? I'm not even sure if we could post our version on here though, XDA is pretty ant-anything that involves him. Maybe he could post our version on his site.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
Probably one of us. Or we can ask for help from him.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pstevep:
For the record, evil is not wanting it released here without his permission as well. You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site, due to him charging for a root exploit for the shift.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Alright sounds good. I'm sure we have people that can pick up on that.

Oh, I didn't know that. Now I understand why though. Thanks for the insight, we'll try to refrain from linking his site.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pstevep:
Thanks. Other forums have not been so cool with it.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Changed the title, looks good to me now ;). The general section usually gets a little more action than the Q and A section. My intention was for any possible devs to help us out with this. My apologies for trying to help us all find root lol. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XAviierG:
Now we play the waiting game
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Gall0wz:
Look, I don't like the guy and I think his attitude is terrible and he deserved the ban he got. But can we refrain from saying stuff that isn't true? It does nothing for guiding people to an eventual unlocked rezound (or vivid in this case). Open is supposed to be was android is about... not squelching possible advancements based off a personal problem.

C'mon now you're a moderator. Please conduct yourself accordingly. You could have left it at, "You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site."
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pstevep:
As I appreciate your enthusiasm for moderating me. The statement was made intentionally. As I have had this thread topic in multiple forums and the dev in question prompts flaming from discussion as to why we can't link his site. Most people on here either love or hate the guy, I am cool with him. My statement is made because that's the reasoning behind not linking his site. I can post it when I did or we could wait until it was asked, I chose the pre emptive approach to avoid someone literally saying something negative about the dev and xda. If you have an issue with my statement please address a senior mod or admin.

I'm not a douche bag here, I treat you all with respect and do what I can to help. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saturn:
hi all

my galaxy nexus dead, i cant get it to boot

i manage to flash ClockworkMod

my question is how i can transfer files using ClockworkMod

or iד there other method like using adb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] legalbrr2:
Saturn,

If you managed to flash CWM, your device is not that dead.

First thing I would try, is to load CWM and do a Factory reset, and Wipe cache. Than, reboot your device.

If this doesn't work, I don't see how CWM could help you, as Galaxy Nexus don't have external SD Card.

For CWM to work properly, you must first transfer your files to the virtual sdcard, than reboot to CWM and use that files.

If you can't boot, you can't put your files inside the device, so CWM is useless at this point.

So, what I would do right now, is:

1. Revert your device to stock..

Google for it. You'll use FASTBOOT or ODIN to reflash all partitions to stock ones.

This will even replace CWM for a stock recovery.

2. Flash CWM again.

Your device is probably working at this point. So, you can flash CWM again.

3. Reboot to CWM recovery and perform a backup. Keep it for future use, so you can restore your device at any time.

4. Download any roms you would like to, and have fun playing with your device!

Ps: Now I see that the original post was from Dec/2011.. Sorry for that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SIISuperUserIIS:
A few weeks ago, I posted a thread asking why does my friend get 4G, but I don't. If you are like me in a situation like this, the process is simple. In my area, there are 4G and Edge bands that phones connect to. My phone persistently connected to the edge band while my friend connects to the 4G. So lets get to the point shall we.

If you are having problems like me try this:

Go to your settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, and then select network mode. (After doing some research about GSM and WCDMA, I found out that GSM (3G aka edge) was slower than WCDMA (the newer technology 3G).

Select WCDMA. (For me it took a while so don't worry. If it does take too much time then select WCDMA + GSM.) You are going to have to select it anyway when you are done if you don't automatically connect to 4G.

When you select the combination, your phone should reconnect to your carrier provider and you should get 4G like me.

Oh. F.Y.I. T-Mobile doesn't actually have 4G. It's just a fast 3G network called HSPA, but they still display the 4G symbol when you have it. Hope it helps somebody.

Well sort of. Wiki mentions it but glazes over it a bit. It's a reference anyone can change of course so take it with a grain of salt. ITU relaxed their position about this time last year to include "evolving technologies" of which WiMax, LTE and HSPDA are all included.

So the reality is, all the carriers can make the 4G claim and sleep comfortably and the extended reality is, the speeds are all showing that next evolutionary step in speed, even if the technology as it sits today is just that. Steps toward LTE Advanced and whatever WiMax is calling their next version. As a TMobile customer, and one that it seems will stay with the TMobile branding it's unfortunate they are using a technology that has it's limits. But I'm getting 10-15Mbps on occasion and solid 7 to 8 Mbps speeds generally speaking so I'm not complaining. Until the carriers clear more spectrum what "G" it is isn't relevant to me. With 2Gbps, or even 5Gb soft caps I don't need to get to my ceiling any faster than I am now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billydroid:
Well technically it is a quarter of the speed. If you are going by 100mbs defintion.

By industry standards , marketing, its 4g. But the term is meaningless. It is way faster than previous generation of phones.

So whatever, I'm calling 4g.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis3:
Multi-channel HSPA is capable of ~40Mbps, which is damned fast.

Call it what you want; technically LTE ir WiMax is 4g, but if it runs as fast as the others, who cares what it's called?

SHUT UP

Can we end this stupid 4g/3g debate? I'll end it for you right now.

Until a few months ago NONE of the technologies out were 4g, not LTE, not WiMax, not HSAP+ ...BUT the ITU (International Telecommunications Union), which are the people that say what's what in the wireless industry, folded under the marketing schemes of the big 4 here in the U.S. and said that TECHNICALLY NOW LTE, WiMax, and HSPA+ All count as 4g. So...yes they have 4g. A few months ago they didn't. Now they do.

Wikipedia is an administrator-approved peer-editing system. For one, there are references to back up the claims made, two, you can't just click "edit" then put in whatever you want. A Wiki admin approves all edits made, so bogus stuff can't just be easily added. (Sorry, I'm just sick an tired of people claiming wiki is a poor source for valid information, when in reality it's one of the most largest and beneficial information sources on the internet. Again, sorry, didn't mean that as an attack on you lol)

Either way, yes, our "4G" is fast, but in reality it's not in comparison to what it should be. And for those of you with worries about your data caps, these will be removed in due time. It becomes easier and easier to reach those caps without any effort at all (Google Music being a perfect example), carriers won't have a choice but to remove data caps, especially with carriers like sprint still offering unlimited data (for now lol)
