Magic installation script :D Well I must admit they do have a custom script in the update zip indeed. But just wanna clear things out. The script only does alter the build.prop file. Every user who have standard knowledge should know that TEAM stock ROM is not actually a full ROM but more of a customized theme. Unlike the real ROMs it's just replacing some default apps with modified ones. Wherein real ROMs replaces every file you would see inside your android device.

If ever your gonna flash TEAM stock ROM on a device with CWM and a kernel only installed it's not gonna work as it lacks all the core android systems inside it. Still that doesn't change that fact that it mostly does what ROM cookers do in their custom ROM's they just merely modify default apps and repackage it back into a updateable zip.

The only difference in a theme and a full ROM is that theme contains only light modifications unlike full ROMs where it basically replaces everything inside your device. :)

*little hint*

Who said we could never cross flash ROM's in different devices? As long as it's all made for Xperia 2011 devices then it should be compatible to all devices just by removing and adding some files from syste/etc/firmware & system/bin.

Only things that should not be crossed flash are "Kernels", "Stock & Cyanogen ROMs" & Gingerbread & ICS ROMs.

Basic steps in cross flashing ROMs (Only for Pro):

1. Download the ROM you want to flash on your device.

2. Determine wether it is a Stock/AOSP/KANG rom or a Cyanogenmod ROM.

a. If it's a cyanogenmod ROM then find a working kernel for cyanogenmod

for Pro

.

b. If it's a stock ROM then find a working kernel for stock Roms

for Pro

.

Example:

CyanogenMod kernel = FXP

Stock ROM = The one located on my ultima ROM

3. Backup the following files from your current ROM and later add/replace it to the rom you want to cross flash.

system/etc/firmware/<every file you could see here> Drivers for Pro to be able to communicate with kernel

system/bin/cyttsp_fwloader - Touchscreen

system/etc/<everything with the .sh or .conf extension> - driver configurations & constants

system/usr/keyboard-config/ - your hardware keyboard layout.

4. Now just add/replace everything to the ROM you want to flash and flash it to your device then :) Magic

I've already tried flashing neo ROM on my pro. The camera is inverted, auto rotate doesn't work. The volume rocker works only sometimes. And there were many other issues.

Edit : it was a stock based ROM if you are concerned
[Xperia Arc General] cbek:
i ahve to agree with you guys, the xperia range should work together, i too am interested to get into the development of roms, its been hard for me to find a start though simply because everything is so hard to find, i really don't understand why a admin cant make a sub forum under xperia arc for xperia pro development, at the moment, all its doing is confusing general users, see a cool rom for the pro in the arc forum and then wonder why it wont work on your phone, its just stupid really. but hey
[Xperia Arc General] Riyal:
For inverted camera & flash issue just download this

http://dl-www.sonymobile.com/cws/do...04240/Camera_libraries_Xperia_phones_ver2.zip

select the one from pro and overwrite the ones from Neo.

On auto rotate. Copy system/bin/akmd*** from Pro paste it on Neo and overwrite the pre_hw_config.sh hw_config.sh & sensors.conf from Pro to Neo for other hardware problems. also system/usr/keboard config for hardware keyboard.
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
I think you guys should personally get your own section

And you all say there isn't much development for your phones try making one yourselves. It really isn't that hard.

Put things like mods in it what works with your device

Get tweaks and other things that help with smoothness

Delete bloatware apps or what u want to delete, but be careful cause am sure u know what happens when u delete something u need.

Make the Rom with dsixda kitchen follow instructions on dsixda thread.

Test the Rom your self or give some one else to test it

Done and you work from there read threads on how to open apks up to change icons and theme it basically .

Get the thing posted on the correct section ie android development

Sorry for blabbng on guys
[Xperia Arc General] now.i.feel:
Yea.. we did that already.. the number of roms for pro went from zero to 10 in just fee dayz
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
So I dont get it then why ask for mord. Not trying to be funny here like

Am sirs the people who made u the roms are good people who do a great job so why all The fuss bout more devs
[Xperia Arc General] Riyal:
They want more devs so that we could have our own sub forum. They believe that the more active development a device is the better chances of it having its own sub forum.
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
yea but having more devs don't mean sub forums for you

Just my thoughts on the situation
[Xperia Arc General] Riyal:
Read the post completely you'll get my point :p
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
Oh I see your point

I have read the post I agree that u should get your own

I'm giving my point to you guys if you all make Roms it would be better for you all its easy to knock out a Rom real quick

We was going to make one for the pro but we didn't see Mich point as not much talk from you guys that's all

Its very quiet :D:D:D
[Xperia Arc General] brocnical:
I think we really need a comprehensive and fool-proof dedicated [HOWTO] thread on porting (Perhaps Riyal you are in the best position to own this?). I'm seeing too many ports whereby not all steps have been followed e.g. build.prop not updated, keyboard configuration not copied properly, camera rotation and auto-rotation issues not fixed.

Also is it not necessary to also copy across /system/usr/keylayout for correct keyboard and key functionality? (and perhaps also keychars for good measure?)
[Xperia Arc General] Riyal:
I'm not too good on creating tutorials and the post you quoted was the best I could make :)

On keylayout they are almost the same except some ROMs have layouts for certain gamepads while others doesn't have. Keychars on any 2011 ROMs are all the same.

Hi all.

I have a sonim XP3 quest pro. I like it because its tough, the battery lasts 4 weeks and it really is water proof. What i really dont like is his software.

I have been (frustratingly) searching the internet about what can i do about it and found out that:

- Sonim is not making firmware updates

- the core of this phone is Philips Nexperia 5210 with arm9 processor

- there were other phones with this processor ( like sony ericson p990) and run symbian

so my questions are:

Can i install symbian (at least 9.1) on it? If so where can i find it to download? it seems i can't find older versions.

And how do i do it? I'm not an expert....

If its impossible, or not worth it, what can i do? (and don't tell me to throw it away and buy another:p)

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] hurrikite:
so... my question is not even worth answering....

when you made the "scare-the-noob" video you should add "if you searched everywere and did not find it, don't bother asking. most likely we don't know and we are ashamed to admit that we don't know everything"

a simple "I don't know" would have been more polite than no answering.

thanky you anyway. at least i learned how this forum is willing to help.:(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Having just spent $20 on 8 different keyboards and trying various 'free' keyboards as well, Im wondering what you all find works well for the Note.

Right now, I find Better Keyboard 8.9.9 on the Amazon Market ($3) the keyboard that is working well for me, primarily because it extends the size of the 2nd and third row keys to fit the phone's width which makes the keys easier to hit. All the settings are stock except I disabled auto correct as it keeps changing my abbreviations to words I dont intend (bldg for example keeps getting changed to either bulldog or another word that is slipping my mind).

Supposedly Swiftkey has very good text prediction which might be interesting but I havent used it enough yet to know. Not yet sure the difference between the tablet version ($3) and the phone version (free) nor do I know which I should use for the Note. My assumption is the $3 version would offer more than the free version but I havent had a chance to look at it.

Of course, one of the other things about the keyboard stuff is that it requires using for a few days to determine if a keyboard is working for you.

Im also looking for a good speech to text app, it needs to be something I can select from the keyboard when it appears - ie. clicking the little microphone in the corner on whatever keyboard appears (not sure if Android lets you use a custom keyboard and change the voice recognition app from Google Voice to something else). It is important to be able to toggle the voice recognition from the keyboard as I am using some custom software on my Android phone for work that requires me to do text entry, the app does not support anything other than a keyboard meaning that I want to bring the keyboard up, tap the mic in the corner, say what I need to and have that automatically put into the field. Google Voice is ok but Im wondering if there isnt something better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
My favorite by far is the tablet Swype beta. Some people find the keys to be too small, but I find that it works great for me, and my fingers are fat. Also, using the spen makes it the fastest and most accurate text entry method I have used by far. It also includes speech to text through dragon dictate, which can be activated by the key on the keyboard and is very accurate, more accurate than the stock android voice recognition in my opinion. Here is a picture of the keyboard:

It set your max cpu for wake and sleep and changes the governor when your device is awake or asleep. It saves battery by lowering cpu frequencys while the device sleeps, when it awakes it automatically speeds it up again. Or alternately you can set the cpu
