Do you flashed provided Kernel before flashed cyanogen rom? Have you unlocked bootloader?

For me Cyanogen with V6Supercharger, Geeky Engine and "CM9 FXP142 notification drawer empty fix" provided by M66B works like a charm
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] raz0r1991:
Yes i've done all the processes listed...

Its not my first time installing roms.... this happen frequently with FXP, broken kernels and icorrect install lines, they are the best i ever seen which make this things happens.....

I dont know if someone flashed FXP 142 on lww yet... but please check it.... tried 2 times , re-downloaded 2 times, checked the MD5 and SHA1, everything fine from my side..... there is some job for you FXP team, =D

Please DONT GIVE UP CM9, CM10 will never be stable as CM9, until sony release the sources....

Finish this project before start a new one.... there still enough work to do....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] VitorMSA:
The "CM9 FXP142 notification drawer empty fix" its a patch to eliminate the notification bar lag. Sometimes the icons in the notification bar (when we pushed down) took a long time to appear. This fix solve that problem :highfive:

installation aborted error usually occurs due to broken archives.... try one thing select install from zip>toggle signature check .... disable it and try to flash the zip
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Installation abort error is common issue if you did "wipe system" before. Wipe system is bad idea since this function exists. A year ago people got bashed when it came up that they wiped system. Now all are so friendly that the bashers get bashed if they would bash system wipers :P

Well, you got it.

Solution:

Flash ftf rom file (ot only baseband), root it, etc... or try a

SEMC/stock based custom rom, flash this and then flash CM9/CM10. THe scripts that run on cm9 installation just wipe system theirself but they do it while running programms that are on system and needed for installation... and if you wipe that before... installation aborts on cm9... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Thanks for this explanation, Snoopo!

I was wondering for some time if FreeXperia (CyanogenMod) does use files from the standard ROM, but the answer seems to be yes and no. Yes, to install itself and no after being installed. Else there would have been the question if it did matter where you came from (standard ROM version/flavour), but this doesn't appear to be the case.

One question remains however, why are existing files being used? I can imagine space or to simplify development. In any case this choice results in problems for some people not knowing this and maybe this is not necessary with a little bit of effort. Do you happen to know the sources files that takes care of the installation? (I am still in the process to find everything out)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Since some people were complaining about the work of FreeXperia lately, I will do the opposite for a change:

From the change log:

"wireless update to latest source"

Thanks!

Xperia Mini Pro mobile data connection when WiFi goes off. Screen flicker

Hi all,

I'm the very happy user of CM9.1/FXP running on my new Xperia Mini Pro, but this happiness is currently shadowed by the two following problems:

When handing over from a WiFi connection (either because the WiFi network has gone out of range or because I simply turn it off), the phone fails to re-establish a mobile data connection (be it 2G or 3G). I have to power cycle the mobile radio (either by toggling on and off the airplane mode, either by forcing it to register to the network by choosing the provider, either by rebooting the off). Otherwise, I simply won't get a mobile data connection. Also, the power widget's mobile data toggle acts peculiar, that is sometimes it doesn't turn on/off, even if I do get the haptic feedback. Things that I've tried:

Changing the baseband: I tried with .77 (the latest) and with .72 (the one that I'm currently running). Same result.

Wipe/re-flashing: it works for about a day and then the same behaviour is magically reinstated. Another weird thing that happens is that the network operator's name changes automatically after about a day; initially (after the flash/wipe), it was BEL PROXIMUS, now it's just PROXIMUS (a Belgian mobile operator).

Forcing it to 2G doesn't help.

Forcing it to a specific provider (disabled the automatic selection of mobile network) doesn't help.

The screen (and sometimes the capacitive buttons' backlight) flickers, sometimes strongly. It's usually (the flicker) at its strongest under fluorescent lightning. My screen brightness is currently at 25%.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much for your time and a big kudos! to the FXP team for their excellent work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Hi inkanyamba.

1) THis is the wifi issue because of "workaround wifi drivers". Wifi is currently a little messed up as you mentioned. There are also some other problems people tell about wifi here. But if you look at the changelog, in FXP144 there seems a promising solution.

I built yesterday myself but the kernel driver was messed up I guess I built at a time where they did not completely upload it to git repo. Let's see how FXP144 is maybe I will do a rebuild and report.

2) This flicker I never mentioned. WHat FXP version are you running? Please try using the newest FXP release before reporting issues. sometimes most things are fixed in newest versions.

As mentioned in 1) the new wifi driver in kernel may cause to wipe data (or wifi data). I will proof that. THe error I got with new kernel was that wifi could not start and there was no mac address... log also threw weird errors, I guess the build was incomplete or erroneous and I did not realize it. :D

Lets see. MAybe you guys can try and report, too!? Remind that self-build versions are not really supported but advanced users can help analyzing problems earlier than FXP releases get released ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The WiFi problem with the new driver has already been fixed in the source tree. I have a custom built ROM/kernel and WiFi is working okay.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] inkanyamba:
Hi guys,

Thank you for responding. Just one clarification, though: my problem is not with WiFi per se, but with the mobile handover. I do not get the mobile/3G data connection, not the WiFi one!

Oh, just one small question: how does one update? By simply flashing the new zip...?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Just wait for a new FXP release and install it on your device to get the new WiFi driver.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] inkanyamba:
OK, continuing with the noob questions: to update from one FXP release to another (I'm on CM9.1/FXP142 at the moment), you simply boot into recovery and flash the new release zip (this would be FXP 144 as soon as it's out). No need to wipe, no script to run, no nothing, right?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ciziokas:
I think you need to do same steps like you did installing previous ROM... Flash kernel, make data wipe, cache, dalvik cache and so on..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Same procedure as everytime:

Before installing zip do a nand-backup!

then flash with fastboot the boot.img included in zip.

Then you can simply install the update zip followed by the correct google apps (newest for ICS) followed by accelerometer fix, then reboot.

Then you should be able to use your phone and still have your apps. keep in mind that startup takes way longer if you have many apps installed. after first boot up set your keyboard (if you have mini pro) and phone will reboot... if no sk17i just do a manual reboot....

:)

alternatively if you run in problems you should first do a data wipe and then manually reinstall everything and see if this works better.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jeik:
Works with st15i?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The kernel is only for Xperia mini pro, but other things should work for other devices too.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I guess you mean CM10/FXP144.

CM9/FXP144 is running smooth for me, although I have to add I am using a custom build.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] inkanyamba:
More problems with mobile data connection with FXP144

Hey guys,

Me again. :) I flashed FXP144 (thanks, FreeXperia Team!), wiped two times just to be sure, rebooted and configured everything. This morning I woke up, tried to turn on the 3G/mobile data connection and it didn't work (same thing as before), I had to cycle the phone through airplane mode. Any other ideas...? :(

Thank you for your time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
hi m66b. did you wipe data for the new build? my custom build does not bring up wifi. I deleted /data/misc/wifi as well /data/etc/wifi but it does not help.

I also tried your kernel (without modules) to see if that may fix it but I also got sam errors.

currently the log is on my phone that is reflashing I will paste it later.

But du you have an idea? >Is wiping data necessary in that case?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I didn't wipe data, I never do.

This is how I install new (custom) FXP versions:

1. Copy the (custom) ZIP file to my sdcard

2. Reboot to boot loader

3. Flash the (custom) kernel

4. Reboot to recovery

5. Flash the ZIP file

6. Flash Gapps (I leave it on my sdcard, since I will need it next time)

7. Wipe cache

8. Reboot

You need the last merges from here and here to get it working (I am not sure if these are in FXP144).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
ah hmm. I took a look at the merges you told... my repo means it's sync but these changes are not in. I will post in custom build thread.

well it seems you dont install the accelerometer fix. is there no need anymore?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
As far as I know the fix for the accelerometer has been included in both CM9 and CM10 for some time now. The blobs (mainly akmd8975) have been updated sometime ago. I am sure DASH has been included in CM10, but I am not sure if it has been included in CM9. I will post my local manifest in the CM9 build thread, so you can compare it with yours.

What gapp.zip xactly do you install? Many people just get the newest but do not pay attention that they have to use the newest for ICS... Currently by posting this it's:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

And you do not need to install the facelock zip as face unlock is already included in CM 9.1.

As far as I know in gapps gmail is not included. you have to get it from market.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
I'm on FXP 9.1 ver 142

1. "Unfortunately clock app has stopped" - this messge appears after every start of my phone. Every time I try to set an alarm too. I've wiped cache, dalvik cache, even formated system and installed again the whole ROM. What's the problem?

2. Also I miss the function to kill apps by continuos pressing the back button - how do we make it here?

3. And is it possible to set one of the volume buttons to be on the unlock slider? On the Gingerbread it was possible to switch between silent and ringing mode with the left button on the unlock slider - how is it here?

4. Sometimes the 3G, WiFi and GPS module simply don't turn on - dalvik cache wipe is needed to make them function again. Is there any more simple solution, without restarting the phone needed?

Thanks for the help in advance!

As fas as this post is concerned you don't have to flash accelometer fix. Maybe that's why it doesn't work nice on your phone. I don't know.

By the way CM updater finds an update although I have latest version and I have chosen from settings "only stable versions". Any ideas?

In the light of recent update to the google contacts and HD pictures for contacts on Jelly Bean is it in any way possible to make ICS sync those new, juicy high-res pictures of contacts? 96x96 resampled to 256x256 makes my eyes hurt and CM10 is still very far from being usable on a daily basis at this moment.

Understood now?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Looking at the changelog, I would say FXP136 may be closest to CM9.1, but that is as incorrect as your answer, because none of the FXP releases are equal to the CM releases.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] spdrosin:
I am confused here and maybe some others like me here too. I thought that FXP releases every week are "stable" versions. No? Could you please explain the deal? Is it better to download from CM or from FXP links?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cserpentis:
Hm I don't see Google Contacts HD pictures support anywhere in the changelog. And it was added on 14th of october, so it should have made the recent changelogs. Besides, I'm looking for a phone side-solution. Something to make Google Contacts Sync think that I am running a jelly bean and give me high-res pics instead of 96px ones. Pictures used to be stored in 96px format, now they are stored in sizes up to 720px. So I will keep looking for a simpler solution untill CM10 is ready for everyday use.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cserpentis:
I'd advise a full wipe and reinstall as noone around this forum seems to have this kind of problem. Is the space on your /data partition running low?

I'm running a 2.21.1 and it's working fine. Guess you've just got an outdated version that is not fit to work with ICS or JB. BTW: you can try the new CM file manager there are links to the APK in the forum next to this one (Xperia Mini Pro Apps and themes) this might be nices then using outdated pirated app.
