I read about a SE upgrade fot Xperia Mini to Ice Cream /Android 4.0

Does anyone know when it will be released?

I read it should be on march 2012 but still don't find it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Xperia Arc S, Neo V and Ray will get the update first, since end March/begin April. All other 2011 Xperias will get during April, end April or begin May.

Official blogpost in Sony Developer World.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ashwinsadeep:
The update for arc s, neo, ray have been delayed till mid april.... So i gues we will have to wait longer, may b till june or sth...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SpeedingGriffin:
Maybe we will get the beta when it releases for ray neo and arx
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ashwinsadeep:
Or you could try an unofficial ROM. Right now I'm using AOSP ICS RC3 by kamarush... I should say, this one is really really stable... No reboots or anything at all... And very fast and fluid too...

However, ou should note that the hd recording doesnt work... Just a heads up...;-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gourcuff:
in late may or early june we will get official 4.0
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rambg2:
i can't wait anymore. uhhh!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dongmen:
i'm waiting but MIUI rom great :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jimbobcox:
Sony are obviously struggling prob why they released beta version for devs to play with. They say phones with 512 ram may struggle! WTF! Ive been running ICS beta for ages with no issues!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mohamad.bakan:
yeah, Ive been running ICS beta for ages with no issues!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] melander:
Sony is having a hard time porting ICS to phones with 512MB due to a lot of bloatware I presume...

That is why AOSP releases works fine, just uses the bare essentials...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krstep:
Sony's support is terrible. I didn't get any exact information about update. Here's the conversation.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] urra901109:
That's what they do, they annoy people till the guy give up and never to chat/call them again :p *had a bad experience with customer support though not sony's. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
There is no exact release date, it is said around may-June.

Besides, update release varies with regions, that is with all Android phones that some region gets update and some don't(.69 firmware, only related to legal issues with google) or later(regular firmware updates).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] j_q999:
If you just cant wait for ICS, go install MiniCMSandwich by Kamarush..

That ROM really Rocks!! It's true that it's not that perfect yet but it's stable and we can use it for daily use.
[Dell Streak 7] jxs714:
Hey guys, couldn't find info and wasn't sure, but are you able to downgrade dell streak 7 honeycomb to custom froyo through clockwordmod recovery??? I keep getting errors when trying and am trying to avoid doing a nvflash flash procedure. Please advise
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Short answer: No.

Need to get a downgrade recovery image that uses NVFlash

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63751034/Streak7 Roms/Restore to 2.2.rar
[Dell Streak 7] jxs714:
That sucks.. lolz. I greatly appreciate your help. Will take a look at it, hopefully there are no issues. =D
[Dell Streak 7] jxs714:
Ok, so i ran the bat file that says runs this to restore to froyo and it keeps closing with an error saying no usb device found. I installed the nvidia fastboot drivers from the following link, it installed fine, I also tried the adb+fastboot file, and it still didnt catch it. Anything i am doing wrong?

EDIT*** I was putting the mode into Fastboot instead of holding vol up and down while plugging in. IMPORTANT QUESTION- Does this method work on a 4g US tmobile version of Dell streak 7??!?!? I forgot to ask that
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
It should work, but I don't think that its the T-Mobile version, just wifi.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
NVFlash method works on all variants of the S7 afaik
[Dell Streak 7] fromthesticks:
Can you upload this to a hosting website because I can't get it from dropbox at the moment.

Thanks

nevermind I got it downloaded
[Dell Streak 7] jxs714:
Awesome. Problem Solved! Thanks guys, you are the best!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bowen:
I'm currently using my HTC Sensation XE (OEM ICS rom, not rooted) to run a mobile hotspot for others to connect, and I wonder if there is any application that will tell me how much data each user (connected to my mobile hotspot) is using. The current rate of 3G data usage is too high, so I wish to identify the heaviest users and inform them about my situation. Do you guys know of any apps that do this?

The X8 is by phone means a decade old but it is still one of the.best in it's class. Who still has anX8 as a main phone or as a second phone? :D
[XPERIA X8 General] ibrahimrashid:

Bought it in 2010 :), won't sell it :P
[XPERIA X8 General] scufita.rosie:
I think he was referring to the fast pace in which the mobile industry is going. Like, you know...ant years or somethin' like it... ha

On the other hand...

yes, i bought my x8 (the black one) last year in june after my old one got stolen, and i was short on cash, so i bought it with the promotion they had at 3 (three), it was 49 euros without any subscription...planned to change it after a while, but it was ok, and with all the possibilities the android world brings, didn't really feel the need to change it.

but...still...planning on upgrading to defy+ but not sure if it's worth it for now...

[XPERIA X8 General] anapplegeek:
I have it as a main phone, since early 2011, but I really miss the newer phones' hardware.. If I had money, I'd buy Xperia arc S, but...

All in all, it is a good phone, and at first I didn't like the thing that SE didn't release android 2.2/2.3 for it, but I came here, and I found so many roms for it.

I am currently running ICS rom by paul-xxx, and I like it a lot, but I wish it didn't have any bugs..

I have a Galaxy S II now, but I occasionally come back to check out what's new with X8 development. I'd use it more, if it had a better touchscreen, so I'm thinking of trying to find a Cypress digitizer. :)

i cant post in the dev section.

Hey Wildchild. great rom. cant wait for v3.

which system apps can i remove. i feel like everytime i remove system apps things start getting buggy

apps i wish i could remove safely:

dsp manager (i know you know about this already)

car home

movie studio

music

latitude

palringo

search

search

places

messaging

email

speech recorder

talk

voice dialer
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
You can remove everything but talk and messaging
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Latitude and places are part of the google maps apk - the only way to remove them is to remove google maps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cuddlebug:
You can find a useful chart of many apps in the cyanogenmod wiki, which shows the package name, description, and if it's safe to remove. There are most certainly apps in the wildchild ROM which are not in this list, but hopefully it will still help you.

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] the_mentor:
You should take into account that removing some of these apps can make your phone a little more unstable.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
You can safely remove DSPManager. Volume+ works better anyway.

To xda team, can i request for an additional mod here? I feel that pg101 aint fair in deleting posts. Atleast if there were two mods, they will discuss it first before deleting. Thanks!

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] MikeChannon:
Hey rr2sd, don't forget I saw some of the posts that PG deleted and they were, how shall I put it "worthy of deletion". Not only that, I deleted a few more.;);)

Even if we do add more mods as we do in forums from time to time, they simply don't have time to start disussing every deletion before acting.

Anyway, what's to discuss if there is trolling, flaming, or off-topic stuff being posted. Sometimes we might debate whether something is in the correct forum, but otherwise if a poster is neither contributing nor being helpful then they risk having posts deleted.

I fully expect that where a Mod is doing a good job, there will be a balance of folk saying he's too lenient and those saying he is too tough.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Harsh06:
How about this..before deleting any OP post,mod should warn members through PM

or thread 1st..If there is no action taken by the OP then mod can do his job.Fair enough

i think.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rr2sd:
wow. got an infraction because of this. it was just disguised as a violation of the rule against personal attacks. lol.:D:D:D

EDIT: 2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA. personal attack is stated but is not clearly not defined in your rules. as you have said (rule 2.1) what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. your rule goes back to you,

what a mod may think is a personal attack may not necessarily mean it is a personal attack to the one writing it.

for example, when i complain that i am personally attacked by someone, what are your criteria by which you decide that i am really personally attacked? is it a first come first serve/delete basis? ronnieryan complained first so that makes her right?

EDIT: 2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

I bet ronnieryan violates this rule in each and every post he makes, what have the mod done about this?

EDIT: i have read the rules over and over but i cant find something. just a question, wheres the rule against trolling mike?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
well, the point of contention is, rather, that many feel that some deleted posts did not violate any rule.

as in the case of PG101 deleting a post on USB jig with technical info.

we should make sure to not get off THAT topic, specifically.

also PG101 appearantly deleted a very important post containing a SGY kernel bugfix wasting time of some devs.

kernel testing was severely delayed by PG101 killing that bugfix.

I rated this thread "5 stars" !
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Princeomi:
What ever your grudges against anyone mate (including mods), just a suggestion, try to resolve it via PM. ;).

In online forums, it best to ignore some people. What I have learnt by experience is I just state my point of view and leave it there. I don't go overboard to prove my point. Hence I never enter into an argument with anyone.

Happy XDA'ing. Cheers and apology if any of my comments hurt. :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rr2sd:
Pm's arent transparent man. In this way they wont just ignore the issue. Pm's are one sided. I wouldnt want for anybody's post to just disappear when someone complains about it w/o having the oportunity to dispute said complaint.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
Watch your words and look after your posts and tell me if the deleted posts are not against me? Even now you shouted my name here?

if you have evidence against me about what you are talking about. Go and report it.

simple off topic is already trolling. It doesnt have to be included in the rules. Its a universal rule that applies in all forums

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

you basically want ur posts to be vulgar right? To show the world you are never wrong?

BTW IF YOU HAVE COMPLAINTS TO THE MODS DONT DRAG ME WITH YOU..DONT MENTION MY NAME, IF YOU DO, THEN THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED PERSONAL ATTACK. BECAUSE YOUR THREAD IS ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL MOD, WHY MENTION MY NAME?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] z3ro00:
the kernel bug fix has been killed...now how can we manage to tried the fix for the kernel ? we waited this for so long and now it has been killed for no reason:confused::confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
loss of time accident

I am gravely concerned that admin PG101 might possibly not know what he is doing when it comes to removal action in our SGY dev section. He seemingly caused a huge loss of time accident.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rr2sd:
1.The question is not whether it is against you or not. It must be whether it is WRONGLY AGAINST YOU or not. You dont want to be criticized? You want to be an untouchable here that i cant post something against you? Wow.

2.My evidences have just become "post deleted" after you had your crying fit like a child.

4.define vulgar. I may not be always right, but im never wrong regarding you ronnie.

3. Now when did you become mike channon? Are you mike channon?

5.wow. Am i allowed to ask if you are stupid ronnie? Come on, can someone please explain to ronnie in a way that he will understand why?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] blackjack1942:
Nyahahahah I thought he understand that's why he's reacting like that :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] blackjack1942:
You're allowed dude :p
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
yes, i want to be untouchable by the likes of you, that is why we have rules

your evidence deleted?

BTW your posts were deleted, not mine..

you are always wrong about me, you dont know me, and stop claiming like you do

did i say so that i am mike channon? you should learn to respect that, why cant u get that in your head?

no you are not allowed, maybe you have forgotten that you have agreed to the rules of XDA before you registered?

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

get lost, if you have nothing to say
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rr2sd:
Wow. All i can say is wow. You really are. I wont argue anymore. You have just proven my point.

Now to xda, please fix the deletion of posts. I wont complain about ronnie anymore. The concerns of mai and the others regarding deleted technical stuff are valid. They are the ones really helping in the development of the kernels. Thank you.

i am acting like this because i wont go arguing with you with pointless things, you have crossed the line by not following the rules...

IGNORANCE TO THE RULES IS A CRIME
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Silvane:
Wow. This thread is going downhill pretty fast. Mike already said no, I don't see the point for further discussion.

In my opinion PG has been perfectly in line. If he did delete some useful posts one could hardly blame him. There's just too much drama and flaming going on that I'm surprised there aren't more people getting infractions in here. He's been very lenient. And the problem is that people don't even try to understand or see it in PG101's point of view, instead they go *****ing and moaning. As a person who admins for another forum, I also understand why the OP received an infraction. If someone in my forum started a thread petitioning to replace me or get someone else to co-admin with me, I'd be pretty offended. And not because of complaints, that's inevitable. What's offending is that a member felt the need to make a public thread about it instead of talking to the persons involved directly, in this case PG101. It isn't about transparency. I have no doubt that the people who run this community are competent and capable people. It's about respecting that person to have enough decency to talk the problem through and avoid publicly shaming them and causing issue. Mods here aren't tyrants; why the cynicism?
