need sm help guys......

frnds i am new to Android OS...

nd a proud Xperia Mini pro Owner....

i am really looking forward to update my phone with this ROM...

can anyone help me by providing step by step instructions for flashing this rom....

And can i revert back to original rom....in case if i have to claim warranty....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Booff, perhaps include whattsapp and facebook into you're rom?

updated fb app of Few weeks ago is way bettee then before.

and i think 99% of Android has whatsapp installed

rest of My custom installed apps are crracked so... :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
Aww, no. Personally I don't use Facebook and would like it left off. It's free to download from the market if you need it, yes?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
I forgot to say another thanks to bbooff for the quick development of this ROM.

It's looking better and better with each build. I'm not keen on the ICS launcher so I went back to using ADW. I love the new stock music player and the blue notification switches with the blue brightness slider look fantastic. Keep up the good work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Thunderbolt8:
any positive installation experience with v7 for those who used bbooffs custom kernel with root and cwm integration?

from what I can see the SE facebook integration is still there, just not the main prog itself and all its services which start automatically (correct me if Im wrong). so when you download the market app, it seems that you can still use some of SEs integration tools (e.g. the facebook integration with contacts seems to work better this way compared to when all SE facebook stuff is removed entirely and only the market app is installed)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
You are not wrong.You are absolutely right.This is the reason that only the main application is uninstalled, and not it's services.Some use fb some others don't.Everybody is happy this way.(i hope)

Personally i hate fb.I have never been a member and i do not believe i will ever be.

So it is not very likely to include main fb app in any versions.

Sorry if i disappointed someone...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Lol okl, that leaves whatsapp only.

anyone WHO uses this rom post suggestions what to add, remove, change.

from tools to tweaks to whatever

also for guy WHO asked, all hybrids installed fine for me. Just do data whipe right before zip install.

never wiped data afterwards with installing, still stable and all data every upgrade so far..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
I used App Backup & Restore this time before wiping and it made the whole thing a lot quicker. Just make sure you back up your apps first (including the app backup & restore apk!).

If the Facebook services are left in to help Facebook users that's good. I will just freeze them with Titanium. I would prefer the main Facebook app not to be included though.

I would like Dolphin Browser to be removed, as I prefer to use Opera. I find Dolphin doesn't render some of the pages I visit properly and Opera works better. From memory the last time I used Dolphin my online banking and another forum I visit did not work as well as it does in Opera.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshyat:
custom kernel by bbooff helped

I Got A working solution for me...

i got back to my original rom..(world rom)

got custom kernel by bbooff

formatted my memory card.

had just huvromv7.zip file in card and then installed the rom.

wiped data and restarted....it took about 5 mins but rom did start...it was not fast as i expected so restarted phone..did full factory reset n now i'm enjoying it....

hope this is helpful

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

hey bbooff,really appreciated your work..:D:D

but dsp manager keeps crashing n is'nt the rom bit hard on ram.

on my stock rom i was able to attain 240 mbs of free ram using titanium backup and autostarts.

but here i can hardly pass 200 mb mark..

so would you consider something about memory too?

:):)again thanks for brilliant rom...:):)

most useful thing i found was switch on notification bar..

if possible i'd love to have a task switcher on notification bar too..:p:p:p

ICS is just ok for now...for taste of it i'll wait few months...:D:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
akshyat saying he formatted his SD card prompts me to ask this question I'd been thinking about:

I have my SD card (8 Gb, class 10) formatted into one big FAT partition. All of my media files, backed up apps and ROM's are in various folders on the same partition.

I've read on XDA forums that it's good to use an ext partition for App2SD.

So should I backup my SD card, format the whole thing as ext and copy everything back accross?

Or should I have a FAT partition and an ext partition? Is it possible to have more than one partition on an SD card?

Sorry to bring the thread off-topic. Just some quick, one post, advice will do, thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IMRAND:
booff there seems tobe a minor bug.

I have poweramp 2.4 when trying to increase volume through hardware keys

sound goes low, increase again goes high.

It happens every time you press volume up button.

I don't know it was working fine until I had Hybrom v6.

please reply.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Poweramp does not recognize the extra volume steps.Volume control with hardware keys works fine with poweramp from the middle and down.Other players though like meridian, fully cooperate with the extra steps.

By the way, v8 is coming maybe tonight.Minor changes but now based on 0.62 firmware!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Black_jackss:
Bbooff kindy tell me how to root generic 0.62 firmware :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
If you have an unlocked bootloader, flash a custom prerooted kernel.If you don't have an unlocked bootloader, try doomlord's easy rooting toolkit. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582&page=50

I haven't tried the easy rooting toolkit, since i am on my own custom kernel...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Black_jackss:
zergrush method dont work,thats why i asked u,i tho u know how to do it with locked bl :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
I'm using the kamarush kernel, which is 0.58 firmware.

Will I be OK flashing Hybrom v8?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Maybe i can make a prerooted .ftf version of 0.68 firmware for you to flash using flash tool.

This is not a promise...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Yes it will be o.k.I am now running hybrom v8 on my device with my kernel for 0.58 firmware.

There is no problem until now...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
A kernel based on 0.68 firmware with CWM and root privileges is also going to be released tonight!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Works fine for me, just tested.

Only thing is though, it uses orginal steps.

Zip format or tft makes no difference for me since I need to flash/update my telephone anways with my PC.

From beginning before this rom I liked Opera more to.

After I got used with dolphin I have to say I have no reall opinion on it.

They are both good.

Btw I did not use wipe data/or caches after my first hybrid rom installs. (upgrading)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
It makes a difference if you have a locked bootloader...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
HYBROM V8 is released.Based on 0.62 firmware.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Sorry Black_jackss...

I couldn't compile a prerooted .ftf file.

My efforts were unsuccesfull...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chan1628:
flash to v8 immediately... so far, so good (given its only 10min uptime so far)

question: this is the first non-CM7 ROM that i've ever flashed before, so excuse my "noob"-ness .... for overclocking, i'm used to setting it in "Cyanogenmod Settings" which I obviously know its not in this ROM .... in this case, what do I do to set OC since i'm running KRsH Kernel v2.0
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
You have to flash a custom kernel that supports overclocking, and then you can install a an application for overclocking from the market, like antutu.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
Thanks for these quick updates bbooff.

Version 8 working fine on the kamarush kernel.

I vote for Adobe Reader to be removed on version 9. I use a free app from the market called EBookDroid, which is basic, light and displays pdf and ebook files in one simple app.

Also, is it worth converting my SD card to ext filing system so that I can use App2SD?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
If you you have a fast card.( Let's say class 10)

Personally i don't.I have enough free space...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
Yeah, I have plenty space on the phone memory so I think I'll leave it formatted as FAT.

I think I spotted a bug. Well, a functioning one.

When you get the dialog up that lets you make a choice and save it permanently. For example the dialog box that pops up to choose a default browser, or the dialog to choose default launcher (GO Launcher or ICS). Even if you click the bottom choice the one that briefly highlights and flashes is the top one. So, if you choose ICS launcher it goes to ICS but for a second it looks like you chose the top option.

^I hope you understand what I mean.

It doesn't affect operation of the phone. It's just a visual bug.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Does this happen every time?

Maybe it was just coincidence.

It has never happened on my device.

Anyway, if it doesn't affect the operation of the phone,everything is fine...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
I've only spotted it when I have the choice of two items in the dialog box, so maybe it's my eyes/brain which perceive that the wrong item is changing colour.

It's only noticeable for a split second. Maybe other people can clear their default launcher and have a look and see if it looks odd to them too?

As you say, it's not a big deal as it doesn't affect operation of the ROM in any way.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duckysempai:
First of all, I want to thank you for all the work you've put into this. Loving the rom :) A few little problems i've found recently..

My wifi doesn't seem to connect until I go into wifi settings. Been happening on v7 and v8. Worked fine in earlier versions. Also had a problem with gamecih2 (Android memory editor used for cheating in games and such) in the last 2 versions. Whenever I enter the program to search for a value, I can't get back out of it no matter what I do. Can't even turn the device off. Have to pull battery. Again, it worked fine in v6 and below.

Either of these problems happening to anyone else?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IMRAND:
Thank You so much working fine.

Your ROM keeps on improving day by day keep it up.

Just to know super user is always 3.05 when ever I update your rom but

you have mentioned it as 3.07.

I have to update it manually everytime.

Iam on your ROM + KRsH kernel though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
Another bug report from me:

I've got haptic feedback when dialling a number even with haptic turned off in the settings.

I also have haptic feedback when using the touchscreen to type a text message, also with haptic turned off in settings.

I'm using kamarush kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
About the wi-fi connection state, this is not a bug.It has been happening since v5.You just didn't notice it.Whenever you loose connection, your system sleeps and tuns off the connection.It searches for signal rarely, so the symptom is inevitable.I think that the benefits from power saving worth it.

About gamecih2, i am checking it right now but the most likely is that the app is incompatible with 0.62.Are you sure it also happened with v7?

Have you tried to press the home button instead of back?

Or press it for some time so that you enter the native task manager?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Are you sure?

What is your kernel's superuser version?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Haptic feedback works fine on my device...(on or off)

Try with another kernel and see what happens.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IMRAND:
Iam using KRsH kernel v2 but I don't know what version is super user.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
The superversion in v8 is 3.0.7.I have just checked it.

Version 3.0.5 is in your kernel.I do not know though, why it's not updated after you installl hybrom.I will look into it...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IMRAND:
Ok please check.

By the way it use to happen with previous version of your ROM also.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] batjon:
this ROM looks excellent, will it be rooted if I use stock kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Yes it will but you cannot install it via nAa recovery, if this is the case...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] batjon:
pardon my ignorance.. how would I install it if not by recovery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kensan:
Nice

Installed V8 without any problems. I'm on RAGE kernel. Everything seems to work ok. Flashed the stock font and changed to azerty. I hope this ROM on .62 will reduce the battery usage at night. Over night at least 10% of battery is consumed. I remember that the last version of MiniCMpro on my X10 mini consumed only 2% at night.

Anyway, thumbs up!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tommixoft:
if you would remove that ugly font it would be much better rom. now added some ****ty font who does NOT support unicode.

And why as rom representation you show Go Launcher? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chan1628:
As stated a few times in this thread already... Stock fonts zip file is in the OP, just flash it to remove the ugly font

"there is no spoon"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chan1628:
I'm not sure if anyone is using this ROM with launcher pro (0.8.3), but there seems to be a visual bug in the application drawer... The display icons don't refresh instantly as I'm scrolling through my apps... So I may think that I'm opening angrybirds, but if I wait a couple seconds, the icons would refresh and then it's really another app...it gets a bit annoying cuz I'm constantly opening the wrong app... Not sure if anyone else have this problem

"there is no spoon"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Dear Tommixoft,this is my rom and i like it with this font.If you don't like it, change it or post a rom with another font.Maybe your font looks ****ty to me also...

I show Go launcher because i like it.There is no specific reason for this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
You install custom roms via CWM.You are right.But you have to have a fully functional CWM.

nAa's recovery is installed into the system partition and it's wiped up during a proper installation of a custom rom.That's why you will end with a brick if you try to install hybrom using nAa's recovery.You can unlock your bootloader first, then flash a custom kernel with recovery (i think there are three kernels available for sk17i on xda) and then flash hybrom without problems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Have you rebooted again after the first installation?

I do not seem to have this problem...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
If i try to tweak more in order to save more battery, i think that i will end with a not so functional rom.

Sorry...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Booff, would you please re-add TrackID in V9 ?

For the rest so far so good :D.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
You haven't lost DRM?

I am thinking of replacing it with sounhound.I think it's better...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
I've updated my kernel to your new 0.62 one bbooff and I still have this problem.

I tried re-flashing the ROM and resetting all user data/dalvik and it is still there. I haven't even installed any apps yet.

Does anyone else have this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chan1628:
Yea, I rebooted after the first installation... Followed your procedure step by step...

It is an issue that bugs me, but I've already setup my apps and configurations already and I'm too lazy to wipe, re-flash and reinstall everything again.... I was just hoping there was some quick sol'n that I could flash, but oh well, still a great ROM... I will report more issues if I come across any :-)

"there is no spoon"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
chan1628, I've started using App Backup & Restore from the market. It saves the installation files from all your apps to SD and you can quickly re-instate all of your apps after wiping.

Also backup your GO launcher settings in the preferences.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
I still have DRM, proper unlocking of bootloader :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chrisbymoningka:
I'm backup my data in CWM recovery..

and every i wiping data and install the new update of HYBROM, in CWM Recovery i use advanced restore then restore data then reboot. All your app, sms, contact (all of your data) will be restored.

i'm using this method since i using HYBROMv4 - HYBROMv7.

Tested by me.

press thanks button if i help

:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
Booff, please pleeeease add full opera brower which u can make act as desktop.

The mini one doesn't allow me to watch pornhub:eek:

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Booff, also perhaps an idea to remove :

com.sonyericsson.superhtedheadsetnotifier

And

Wizard for Sony Ericcson client sync

And

Settings guide 1.0

I don't think any power user uses SE's sync tools with PC.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chan1628:
ok.... i realized this should've been a bug that would've been discovered earlier... but apparently, i don't make enough actual phone calls on my PHONE and didn't see this until 2 days later :-p

OK, so this is a big bug for me....

when i'm on a call, everytime after i hang up the call... the phone jams and I have to remove the battery and restart the phone

the screen goes black when a call ends and i cannot press any buttons to get the screen to display anything... the only thing that i can see are the 2 capacitive buttons still lit up, but that's it....

in a nutshell, if i get a call.... afterwards, nothing works, nothing responds...and phone needs to be manually restarted

any suggestions?

edit: i did more testing by wiping, then reflash v8 ... i believe this bug may have something to do with the proximity settings/sensor .... during a call, if you put your phone to your ears, the screen turns off ... the problem is that the screen doesn't turn back on and therefore, i have to remove the battery to reset... will continue testing

edit2: changed settings to various combinations of screenlocks and home launchers ... still the same results. If the proximity sensor does not turn off the screen during a phone, it will continue to operate, otherwise the screen maintains off and the phone stops functioning
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
+1 for everything djarnop says, two posts up. ^

Except I can rarely get a fast enough connection to watch Pornhub here in rural Wiltshire :p :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
v7 worked fine for me with calling, didn't test with v8.

does IT haopen when you call, or you get called or even both ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
This is not a bug of the rom but a bug or incompatibility of the kernel.

I think vincenzo697 had the same problem with rage kernel and when he switched to kamarush's kernel, everything was alright.

Anyway, i use my kernel that doesn't support overclocking but is very stable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karan1051993:
Hey boof I really appreciate your work da latest Rom v8 is beautiful, itz faster and swift no lag wile playing games!! Or applications and battery is extended for hour or so thank you!!

sent from mangoe's eii

sent from mangoe's eii
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chan1628:
this happens when I call and when I receive a call .... as long as the screen turns off during a call, it'll jam...

but now that you mentioned it, i think i'll try to flash v7 as my next step of testing

I ended up flashing your kernel and kamarush's kernel.... both resulted the same

should i reflash hybrom v8 each time I change kernels? cuz i didn't do that

I had to go back to .58 for the time being cuz i can't figure this out :confused:

BTW, stock rom is BORING!!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Try to flash the kernel now and see what happens,but not the one that caused the problems.

I think that everything will be o.k. now...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] himsplash:
hey chan, slide out the keyboard and then you can slide it in again, your screen will reappear without restarting....

you dont even need to slide it out completely, just slide it until the keypad backlights appear, this will work only after ending the call, or the lights will shut up once again if you slide in the keuboard during the call.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djarnop:
V8 works calling fine btw.

I am on Rage Kernel if it matters.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chan1628:
That is an interesting trick, I'll give that a try and let u know....

"there is no spoon"

edit: tried the sliding keyboard trick, didn't work... went back to .58 ....then i saw v9 get posted, so i'll be trying that out when i have time
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rm001:
bbooff,

Here is the patch for line record: http://2-way-call-recording.googlecode.com/svn/

Could you add it to your ROM?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IMRAND:
Yes please Add it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Guys, this code is for the kernel.Cannot be included in hybrom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IMRAND:
Ok then please add it to your kernel.

"If Possible"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nezbert:
Why do you want to record your phone calls?

It seems a bit sneaky.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] IMRAND:
It helps in my business.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rm001:
when somebody tells you a lot of names, numbers and so on, it is easier just to say "ok, I see, I see" and don`t try really to remember or to write it, especially when you driving. You just later switch on the record... )

In a business it is just necessary.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
