You will get a bunch of different answers as each rom runs differently depending on set up and apps. To be honest looking for a rom in a development forum and you will always find things to be experimental. XDA is not about finding stable bug free roms. It is about learning and development.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
Thanks, will definately check that one out.

I don't entirely agree. My previous phone was a HTC Desire, there were a lot of experimental ROMs, but also a lot of stable running ROMs.

I agree that most ROMs will always be a little experimental. But there's experimental :o and experimental :eek:... If you know what I mean :)

What I'm trying to say is, I would like to have a ROM which is made by someone who really knows what he's doing and not just some barely tested ROM which will crash every 5 seconds :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
As for me, i havent try another ROM on my phone cos most has Bug.... have been using NeroDroid ROM since i bought my phone & i havent for once regret dat!!! i keep praying for tha Developer every blessed day for making a wonderful ROM!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zelendel:
I understand that but really this is development forum for developers to try out things that may cause issues or even brick a device if you don't understand exactly what your doing. This always has been and always will be the case. Just be happy that the devs even offer fixes unlike a few years ago when it was up to the users to dug in and fix issues they come across. Flashing custom roms should never be taken with a grain of salt or done cause people think it is cool or fun. We all should be hear to learn. If your not learning something when flashing then it really is a waste if time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
I understand yhu brov..... its a Development Zone, yhu create something & others test den drop feedbacks & yhu try to improve on it... but some still have bugs even though its an update of tha former.... Also its not easy formatting & customizing tha phone back, thanks to titanium backup for restoring of apps!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
I have some knowledge about the proces of flashing roms/customizing phones. I just had more for my previous phone. Everything is a little new for the minipro.

That's also the reason I'm looking for a lite ROM, less potential problems to encounter :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hazard_puppet:
if u want really a light rom u could try pro-x rom, it is not posted here in xda, but if u type it on google u could find it on that guy website
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
nice, will check that one out also :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BudgyN1:
In my opinion if you want a light & stable ROM you should stick with stock ROM. Thats what I have done. I just removed all the bloatware and unnecessary crap that I will never use, it has the best battery life and you don't really have to worry about it crashing. Also, I used Rage Kernel as it provides amazing battery life. To make my life easier I installed extra MODs that are essential. Just look at my signature for all the stuff I have installed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
You're right, but I would like to go one step further, I would also (maybe) like to get rid of the Sony apps. Like the Sony launcher, text-app, ... and start using the android default apps.

Is this also possible to remove those system apps from the stock rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BudgyN1:
Yeah, if you are rooted you can do anything you want! That's what I have done, I removed most Sony stock apps and replaced them with the 1s CyanogenMod supplies (which is stock). Some apps I kept the same due to they look nicer!

To be exact, the only thing I changed was the Phone, Contacts & Messaging apps. Everything else I kept the same :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lucasgouveiatwo:
me and the best rom so far http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626346 :D:D:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
Interesting, thanks.

Do you just remove rhese apps with Titanium? Or using Flashtool? Or any other method?

And what are 1s CyanogenMod supplies?

I doubt this is really stable?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
The ones, that are CyanogenMod.

The apps from CyanogenMod ROMs :D

And indeed, ICS ROMs are not fully stable yet, still have some bugs there and there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
Oké lol, was looking for "1s cyanogen" on google, couldn't find anything :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rtej:
PRO-X ROM is Great!!!

Thanks for the lead. The PRO-X [ROM] is working great in my Mini Pro (SK17i)

BTW, it is now posted on this forum - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639720

I tried three different ROMs in the last one week before settling on this one.

Cyanogenmod 7.1.02 - Didn't work, faced the boot loop problem.

MIUIv4 2.4.6 - Nice UI, but phone felt sluggish and video play was jerky.

4.0.2.A.0.69 Generic (PreRooted) with 66 Baseband - Camera flash was not working.

But finally, PRO-X gives me everything I want - a light, snappy rom with fully functional hardware and no bugs (so far). Had it for two days now.

==> Rage Kernel v2.8 + Baseband 64 + PRO-X v2.2 ROM

Cheers.

Here my first Post/Thread showing you how to disassemble the Galaxy W i8150.

[highlight]Images only available if you are logged in![/highlight]

These are additional images to the Service Manual in this post: http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1472623/

Step 1: Open back-cover and remove SIM-Card SD-Card and battery.

Step 2: Remove 6 screws with a Philips screwdriver.

Step 3: Remove cap on top of the phone by sliding it upwards. It holds on the camera.

Step 4: Remove the first plastic frame. It holds on a few plastic nipples.

Step 5: Open at least 4 flex-ribbon-cable connections. One is on the bottom and not shown in the picture. Than you can take out the camera. After this you have to disconnect the vibrating alert. Or you can remove it by lifting it up with a small screwdriver. It is glued on the bottom.

Step 6: Now you can turn over the mainboard. Be careful, you have to disconnect the display.

Step 7: Now its time to get rid of the steel plate. It is applied with very sticky glue on to the display.

Step 8: Remove the tape and the flex-ribbon-cable.

Step 9: Remove the display. It is applied with glue on the touch-unit. [highlight]Be very careful! It may break![/highlight] Maybe it it easier if you heat up the glue.

Step 10: Now the two things that are left, are the touch-unit and a plastic frame. The touch-unit is applied with glue to the frame. You can just peal it off. Be sure to take out the little grid in front of the speaker.

For reassembling read this manual the other way round ;)

I'm sorry for my bad English. So if you find any mistakes or want to improve something just let me know.

/data Problem

Try deleting /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (or similarly named file) with Root Explorer, then reboot. And then try again.

Problem is caused by faulty drivers conflicting with Wifi service. If problem remains, use CWM and factory reset.:rolleyes:

This is not unique to GingerDX, but rather is nearly universal on all GB kernels.

--When something doesn't work, just try again. Or switch to MiniCM7/9.--

Last way:

Create an empty text file and replace wpa_supplicant.conf with it.

Place this in the file:

ctrl_interface=tiwlan0

update_config=1

After that, make sure all perms are set (including RWX for all users) and try rebooting.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Hey all, I was looking at the Final Countdown widget on my screen with my glasses (I usually wear contacts) and I noticed the numbers seem to come off the screen just a smidge! I looked at it without my glasses and lo and behold, it was as flat as the screen. Lol Why am I seeing this? I have pretty bad astigmatism, so idk if the difference in my lenses cause this little faux 3D effect? Lemme know what you think!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
Yes, I can explain why but it's easier to say that it's an optical illusion because of the way the glasses are compared to the contacts.

Focal points, etc.

I too experience this, I had eye surgery on my left eye but my right eye is perfect vision. Hence I wear contacts as well, tho the right one is so minor I might as well not on that side. When I switch to my glasses, I'll get slightly odd effects, especially at some angles or surfaces.

On a side note, if you see this in your screens, keep in mind it can/will happen elsewhere, like when you're driving with your glasses....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Whoa... That truck REALLY looks like it's coming right at me! :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
Hahaha, better get out of the oncoming lane then!

Nah, but really, if you have astigmatism, only the actual very center of the glasses lens is truly in focus and some "views" through the lens, if you don't turn your head will be blurry or you may see things that aren't really quite there. You do get used to it over time and tune it out, but if you watch for it, you see it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Haha It's a good thing I never drive with my glasses! I'm always worried that they'll fall off somehow when I'm driving and, with my vision as bad as it is, I'd be screwed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
Since this thread is sooo not on topic with everything else, mind telling me what brand contacts you wear?

My doc had me switch brands again, hoping these will be more comfortable in the long run.

I went from Purevision Toric monthly to Extreme H2O 54 toric bi weekly.

Purevision was nice, stayed clear and you could sleep in them, but irritated my eyes after 5 hours. :(

Extreme H2O very comfortable, pricy but collect "gunk" faster, so I end up removing and cleaning them in the afternoons.

Why can't there be a perfect model?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Lol I use Acuvue, they work great for me and I can last the entire day without having to clean them. I highly recommend em!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Haven't you ever had a contact fold up in your eye while driving? 100x worse. It happens to me once in a while, and it has almost sent me into the median a couple of times. I don't have glasses anymore, but I can't remember ever having an issue driving with glasses. But, ymmv, I suppose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quickquest88:
I wear glasses and ive noticed this effect.

For example, when looking at titanium backup, some of the entries are red text, and others are gray, white or yellow. The red text seems to stand out in front of the other colors. When i take off my glasses and refocus, the effect go away.

Maybe it has something to do with the coatings they put on the lenses? Ive also noticed when looking at flourescent lights that one edge has a blue halo, the other edge has a yellow halo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
No, not yet, but since I really only need the contact for the one eye, at least I'd still be able to see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] princessakiki:
I think it is cool. I wear contacts all the time and never wear my glasses because I feel like I might wake up and my daughter is standing next to the bed and she gets hit because I don't know who she is. Yes my vision is that bad. But I do see the 3D effect that you mention when wearing my glasses. And I also wear acuvue oasis.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Egoz3ntrum:
Not just the screen... I mean the whole system off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
All the blackberry did when it turned the phone off is turn off all the radios and turn off the screen. and kill all apps except certain system apps. It really did not power off the phone, as if you left the blackberry in this state indefinitely it will eventually kill the battery. Its like a sleep mode. It really did not turn the system off.

For your phone you could use tasker that to create a task that turns off the screen, puts the phone in Airplane mode and kills all running apps to get the similar effect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I don't know about that. All nokia phones had the alarm go off with the phone completely off. You could even pull the battery out, put back in but not boot, and alarm went off properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
It powered it off enough that I had a phone at 4% for an entire long weekend (ie killed it to the point it wouldn't power on to use anymore, and had forgot charger at work on the Friday) and it still got me up on Tuesday (and Monday :/). I didn't even actually realize the GN didn't do that as I normally plug mine in over night and leave it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
You said you put the battery in and the Alarm goes off. Just because you did not push the power button does not mean the phones internal clock is still on pulling a small charge to keep the time, and produce a alarm event at a certain time.

Think of a desktop PC. Newer motherboards can actually turn on/off desktops at certain times even with it being completely off. Why? Because it has a small battery running the internal BIOS that can produce power events from an off state

Blackberry/Nokia probably implement this in different ways, but the fact remains their is something that stays on even when the phone is "off"

That's why as soon as you put the battery in for a blackberry the phone boots and takes forever to boot at that. But when you just turn it off with the power button and then turn it on, its back up running in seconds. The device is designed to always be on...even when it seems to be off.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Domiel:
Been skulking around reading threads and still not sure how to do this;

What i want to do is extend my media drive for my own books and videos and also id like to Root via the sd card method

I'm wondering in which order to do it all though.

0. Should i downgrade my NT before i do all this? Its 1.4.1 and I think if i understood correctly you can only use adb tools with 1.4.0?

1. should i get adb tools working first doing the first part only in this video (as instructed in this thread i think:confused:?)and then use the CWM included in the sd-card method?

Or

2. Start with the sd card method and then install adb tools and extend my media partition?

Also do i need to worry about the Tools part which is the 3rd thing you need for extending your partition, unless something goes wrong?

4. Will i be unable to access the media folder(the one i can access now when i plug in my stock NT) after this process?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
0.No need

1.You can do it from sd card cwm

2.Sure it will work

3.check commands first, if they work ,no need.

4.Only if you are on B&N OS.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Domiel:
Thanks a bunch, happy I don't have to spend time downgrading as well. Think ill just try to root by sd-card method and then extend the drives afterwards

by your answer to 4 do you mean that if i use the launcher provided in the sd-card method here, I can access the drive via usb from my computer or only via the NT itself(or both..)?

Sorry for all the noob questions but wanna know every angle before i start messing with this XD

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LukeJS:
I am having all sorts of problems trying to update to 4.0.4 (IMM76K) from 4.0.2 (ICL53F) on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I have seen this discussed across multiple threads with not clear solution. I wanted to start a thread dedicated to this issue. Here is what is happing.

I started with Stock ICL53F Rom, Rooted, and clockwork recovery. I tried applying the zip update from this thread. I got the error seen here.

I then downloaded the stock rom from google and installed it with the instructions on droid-life. I then installed the galaxy nexus toolkit, selected option 9 to load clockwork recovery without overwriting the default recovery. It is still erroring out with a status 7, it is saying something about build.prop
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LukeJS:
anyone else in the same boat?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
All the instructions and explanations are available here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LukeJS:
That is how I tried installing the update but am getting a status 7 error. At this point I have actually tried a few of the methods listed on that post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I was referring more to the notes in that post, not the methods. In order for the update to install you need to have ALL the original stock files that were in /system. Judging by the photo you posted, you had modified your SystemUI.apk file. Modifying ANY file on /system will cause the update to fail. You need to replace you modified SystemUI.apk file with the stock one, as is explained in the notes in that post...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LukeJS:
Thanks for the reply, I have gone back to fully stock. I downloaded the stock ROM from google's website.

I then ran the following commands, all completed successfully:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.ek02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-icl53f.zip

Rebooted into recovery and executed
fastboot oem lock

I then booted back to stock android copied the update.zip to the phone and used the nexus toolkit to unlock the bootloader (option 3), load CWM without overwriting the recovery option 9, and flash the zip. I am still getting a Status 7 error assert failed: getprop("ro.products.device") == "toro" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "toro" error. whattttt theee?? :confused: See the attached picture

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
First off, a few things:

1) why are you re-locking your bootloader (by typing fastboot oem lock) only to re-unlock it again with a toolkit? Makes no sense.

2) I would use the recovery I linked to in the other thread, not the one you are using. There have been a number of reports that the touch version is not working properly...

3) I wouldn't use a toolkit until you know how to do things yourself, as it is very difficult to see what the toolkit is doing and, in turn, it is difficult to troubleshoot.

4) Now that your bootloader is unlocked, follow the steps in Method 2 of my previous link, and forget about the toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LukeJS:
Yeah, I only did it once for completeness to go back to full stock and I was just trying everything at this point.

Okay I am going to try it with recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img

Awesome!! The none touch version of the recovery did the trick. Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Glad it worked!

Moral of the story: Follow the instructions in the step-by-step as written - do not deviate unless you know that what you're doing will work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steve.Klu:
efrant,

I have followed this post with your instructions to LukeJS. I am still getting the same error 7 that he was getting. Not sure what to do from here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
So you are NOT using the touch recovery, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steve.Klu:
I am not using touch.

Loaded the recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img

Loaded the stock ICL53F as the instructions said.

Bootloader is unlocked.

Followed method 2.

Started the whole process over from the start, error 7 seems to have gone away now, the update has loaded and I am up and running with IMM76K now. Thank you for the help you gave in this thread, a life saver.
