HELP ME

Is there away, given what I have done (explained above), to flash the stock kernel and the stock S(E) Xperia Pro SW for Sweden set up? If yes where can I find it.[/QUOTE]

So I have tried 3 ROMs and tried Ameers keymap, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690889, and I haven't gotten it to work on any, I even tried back on Stock ROM (XPERIA_PRO_MK16i_.431_STOCK_KERNEL.ftf), locked bootloader and unrooted and updated both via PCC and SUS - with no luck.

I have been in contact with Ameer himself and he checked my files after using his keymap and they look okay, but the keylayout is still wrong. Does any one has any idea what I should do to fix this error?

Hi, guys

I flash cm10 to my wife mk16i , she report alot of problem to me, and shes dont know this is beta rom, so i cant try many rom for her to test, can someone recommend 1 or 2 bugless rom for me?? Many thanks!!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikhail69:
to be honest.. CM10 is not even on beta release.. its still on its early alpha testing stages..

in my opinion.. there are currently 2 ROMs that you have to choose from if you prefer a bugless ROM (or the LEAST buggy ROMs).. either flash the original .ftf ROM of the device or try FXM130 CM7.2..

if anyone else has a better idea.. speak now.. or forever hold your piece.. ahahaha!..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atoyu:
thx, i'll try cm7.2 first
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikhail69:
Ayt.. just don't forget to flash the included kernel and baseband (if you don't have it yet) to avoid complications..

By the way.. that ROM is based on GB.. not ICS..

Now i cannot make or receive any calls and do not have any backup of keypad app that i uninstalled.

it is constantly giving me error everytime i try making a call:

"com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook" has stopped. Pls help.. its urgent.

Pls provide me the required files and the path where to put them. it is the "Keypad" process that i uninstalled from running processes.

BTW i m using stock 4.0.4 ICS on stock Kernel with root and bootloader unlocked. (Xperia Pro)

Thanks in Advance.

UPDATE : I tried switching off and on and it is now not providing any signal with any sim card. pls help me..what to do.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barleyman:
I commented earlier in his thread. Its not possible to restore the initial SE firmware with correct localization due to sony policies. Given that limitation, the only thing that works properly with the hw keyboard for me is the CM9 FXP. Probably CM7.2 works too. Ameers method works for stock keyboard (only) but with chrome browser the hw keyboard is broken for many forms and text fields since chrome seems to override phone keyboard settings.

I wish the devs would figure out just what does the fxp do differently but I assume riyal uses the us keyboard so no luck there.

Need help

Guys,

I am on this ROM :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1753243

I am loving this ROM, only except for the software keypad it provides. This seems to have htc style soft keypad.

How can I install my xperia pro style soft keypad ?? :confused:

Please help, thanks in advance..

Also one more issue with hardware keyboard "sym" is not working at all, I have already flashed the keyboard keypad layout by "ameer" .. etc
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leo_83:
I am on CM9 FXP and the HW keyboard works fine there as you say and I have heard from other that it also works on CM7.2.

But I am confused by your answer :

This means that there is no way to get back the correct HW layout, but further down you say:

Either way I have tried being on stock Kernel, with restored stock ROM via PCC/SUS, ROOT and with CWM and Ameer zip solution has not worked. I do not use Chrome so for me it would not be a big deal as long as I could get the correct layout on "everything" else. And I share your wish that more devs would look into getting the HW layouts working for all different layouts of MK16. I do not know if it is a Kernel or ROM issue, but the whole point of this phone is the keyboard so it is a shame there isn't a reliable way of making it work. (Also getting it to work if you revert back to stock)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leo_83:
Good on you getting the HW keyboard working on JJ's Hyrbrid port, I was not that lucky :eek: I'm jealous haha.

For the SW keyboard, I do not know if the one for Pro is out there... I did however find the one for Xperia S and I am currently using it on CM9 FXP.

So you might give it a go: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813556
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cshegde:
Hey,

thanks for the reply, I am going to flash it now.

To get HW keyboard working JJ's port, just try flashing keyboard layout from ameer, more details somewher on that ROM thread itself,

otherwise its a very good ROM for daily usage
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leo_83:
Yes, I know and I have followed the steps an i have not gotten it to work tried on 3 different ROMs. Ameer has even taken a look a the my keyboard files afterwards and they seemed fine to him but still the keymap didn't work.

I agree JJ's and CM are by far the more stable ROMs (ICS) I have tried. A plus on JJ´s is that you get the best of 2 worlds :highfive:

I was just discussing with Nosedive, who ported it to MK16, regarding some bugs, hopefully it will be even better soon :fingers-crossed :fingers-crossed:

How to ENABLE my light sensor?

Hi I downloaded the official cynagenmod 7.2 release (cm-7-20120805-NIGHTLY-iyokan.zip ) from download.cyanogenmod.com

Every things works fine but not my light sensor.

The cm-7-20120805-NIGHTLY-iyokan.zip also uses a free xperia kernal but I have no clue how to find out which fxp kernel it uses.

I tried to change the hwconfig.sh file (# LMU AS3676 Configuration and set some things to enabled) but that does not help.

Does anyone one know how to enable the sensor (why did they disable it in the first place??)

And how can I see which fpx kernel version cyanogenmod uses? and last is there a changes list somewhere , where I can see what the differecnes are between the nightly builds.

I hope someone can help me out. I really mis my light sensor.

The only reason I wanna root my phone is that I'm sick of the amount of bloatware that Sony Ericsson have installed on this phone.

Hi, I have a Pro with locked bootloader, not its not rooted. (on GB .62) I'd like to update to ICS the easiest and safest way possible.

So after reading through threads and searching, it would seem I can update via the Flashtool using the latest .ftf file.

Is this correct, are there other steps I need to take? It sounds too easy :)

I'm only having to do this because Sony are being so slow at releasing this and it seems like they'll not be releasing it in the UK for Sim-unlocked phones, plus I'm a Linux user so couldn't use their updater software anyway, so I've got fed up at waiting and just want to update my phone to ICS.

SWE/FIN HW keyboard broken in .587

'ello!

I have a MK16i (swe/fin keyboard) and recently upgraded from stock 4.1.B.0.431 (provided by PC-comp) to stock 4.1.B.0.587 Provided here under stock firmwares/for mk16i (I'm using a custom kernel, and therefore unable to update via PC-comp.).

Now everything is working, except that support for the åäö-buttons is broken (the layout is locked to english). I have tried installing the right keymap provided here, but it doesn't seem to work.

I recently flashed the 4.0.4 leaked update to my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. The zip flashed successfully, but my phone still showed as running 4.0.2 in the about phone section. Worse, now my phone only picks up 3g, which defeats a big reason I got the galaxy nexus.

Has anyone else encountered this? If so, has anyone found any solutions? I've tried flashing my recovery, but the phone remained stuck in 3g. I've tried toggling in and out of LTE/CDMA and just CDMA, battery pulls, flashing to other roms etc. and nothing works. All the other radios still work fine.

It seems my 3g is pretty fast now. Also, when I put the phone into cdma only mode, the phone loses 3g signal. Is it possible I'm still receiving 4g, but the phone is just showing it as 3g?

Also, would use a one-click unroot to take the phone back to full stock solve the problem? Kind of like a mass reset?
