[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LUCA LUCA:
can we install this rom or any rom without unlock the bootloader?

please im just sitting here waiting for a answer
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] anivesh93:
it can be installed on a locked bootloader..

to install CWM,install cwm installer for xperia from market,it will install CWM v5.0.2.7

to go into CWM,reboot your phone,when the sony logo goes bright,start pressing the volume down key.....VOILA,you are now in CWM!

P.S-yes many ROM's can be installed on locked bootloader,this is one of them!

cheers!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LUCA LUCA:
how long is loooooong? its still booting after 15minutes
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] anivesh93:
it shouldnt be 15 mins,u have done a mistake somewhere,it takes about 90-100 sec.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] reaper61616:
Before installing go to 'mounts and storage' -> 'format system' and 'format data' and 'format cache' then install zip.

Remember to perform backup first!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LUCA LUCA:
yeah, got it, had skipped the system format. thanks for the help

Hi.

you should flash krish kernel with this rom.

use this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1709032

and downlaod and install Wifi Modules from above link and then install this rom.

and no need to root your device after installation.this rom is prerooted.

thsi kernel has overclock module you can use this in ROM control.

and for unlocking bootloader ask other people maybe they know.

I just finished with this and I have a bit of a question, how do I access the MTP now? When I connect the phone, it always prompts me to enable USB connection. MTP is a really handy feature from Xperia phones since I can use the phone while it's connected to the computer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zagi988:

For those who wants the walkman button working...

Use the Walkman ICS 4.0.4 With Vendor button.apk from lasan folder..

Install normally, put it on system and make it the default player.

Vuala, Walkman button working again ;)

This rom ROCKS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kamarush:
Thank you ;)

This is what i talked about :p The button is app related, like the sym key on Mini Pro.

But i think, i'll add to the addons the LwW Walkman player today.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] .09.:
Great rom, thanks for your hard work!

A few bugs, questions:

1. Can't disable 180 rotation

2. CRT off animation doesn't work

3. Data has to be set manually

4. Black background in settings

5. Brightness icon missing

6. Quick toggles to little in my opinion and there is too much room between toggles and brightness slider

7. Missing brightness (25%-100%) and data (2G/3G) toggle

8. Can we maybe install quick panel settings from previous version?

9. Gingerbread pin unlock screen?

10. Power menu accessible when pattern lock is set (when the device is locked)

11. Emergency call button just takes up space, not needed in my opinion

12. Can't set data limit with keypad (enter exact number), have to scroll

13. Notifications have this strange grey background

14. Btw, is it possible to have a working auto brightness?

15. Can't change picture detail (only 5MP available)

5; Removed, to avoid fc's.

6; In progress

7;? toggle is not a bug...

8; If you want

9; That sony made; i used a lot things from ics framework.

10; This you can with all ics roms

13; It's the same as in my RC3

14; Yes, but i don't want to do. Manual set is the sure thing. This avoids complaining if the sensor not working properly. I think you all know what i'm talking about.

15; Yes, you can. Just push in the camera settings, the arrow, near the 5M Pixels.

LED notifications on sk17i

Thanks again for a wonderful ICS ROM :-)

I have found two bugs on sk17i.

From time to time closing all notifications will cause SystemUI to crash and restart. (I did check with logcat and I think it was a ArrayOutOfBounds exception)

The other one is a bit more serious. The LED notification on sk17i isn't working very good.

For example I use different colors in whatsapp and I can see that the LED is quickly flashing into the color and then turns white and then to off.. this is within 0.1-0.2 seconds. If the battery is charging it will continue show the charge color.

This used to work in the previous lite version.

From logcat when reciving a notification:

D/lights ( 330): set_light_notifications: color=0xffffff00, mode=1

D/lights ( 330): set_light_notifications: color=0x00000000, mode=0

D/lights ( 330): update_flash_state: stopping flash

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

you need the stock ICS kernel, i guess :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kamarush:
Do you think this will work with gb kernel? :D

First you have to flash with flashtool or pcc/sus the official ICS.

Kamarush I have patched the service.jar & installed super charge v6 script will it conflict with your ROM.

Please Reply.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] smokerman:

bugs:

1-cant edit contacts :confused:

2-no equalizer in walkman phone

3-still FC if we change language to portuguese,np i use english

to avoid bootloop:

1. Wipe Cache

2. Go to Advance and Wipe Dalvik Cache

3. Go to Mount and Storage

3.1 Format Data

3.2 Format System

4. Install rom via "Install Zip File"

5. If this still fail, repeat step 1 to 3 plus Wipe data/Factory Reset in CWM

BusyBox issue

I have a problem with BusyBox on this ROM. I tried to install V6 SuperCharger but it complains about missing BusyBox. It seems that the BusyBox on this ROM is somehow bugged, the problem seems to be related to the problem I outlined here. Does anyone know how to fix the BusyBox on this ROM? Or should I install the BusyBox from The V6 SuperCharger thread (I don't like the idea of installing another version of BusyBox without removing the previous version - I don't know how to remove the ROM's included version)?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sigray:
The switches gone sometimes from the statusbar, anyone knows the reason?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kushsolitary:
I think you missed running the script as super user. If you are using script manager, clicking on the root button when you are executing the script to make sure it detects the busybox. Also you'll need to patch your services.jar file to make sure you get all the benefits out of it. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wvy:
Thanks for the advice. I installed Script Manager, ran V6 SuperCharger in it and BusyBox was found this time.

But BusyBox is really broken on this ROM. I first ran the script in a terminal with root privileges and BusyBox wasn't found - there shouldn't be any reason for this behaviour especially if this method is also mentioned on the V6 SuperCharger thread. Another thing is that when running the script in Script Manager, the script called ping but didn't find it (it's a BusyBox applet; luckily this step - patching services.jar - could also be completed using the WebApp). So even running the script in Script Manager doesn't fix all issues. I'd appreciate any advice that could help me solve the BusyBox issues.

Bottom line - using Script Manager is a pain, especially for such a long scrip it's much more comfortable to do such things via SSH or ADB.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Somyab:
But it will take much more time to get stable.and in ics if kamrush release v5 it will be very much stable so we can use it till jb becomes stable enough for daily use
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gandhar:
actually, the jellybean alpha itself is so much faster than ics, that i am using that as my daily rom instead of cm9. same thing will be the case with you guys.

Fix Busybox

I finally managed to fix Busybox. The problem is that the symbolic links for the applets are broken in this ROM. Steps to repair BusyBox (make sure you have a Nandroid backup):

Login as root:

su

Remount the /system partition rewritable:

mount -o remount,rw /system

Check where BusyBox is installed:

busybox which busybox

Change to the directory where BusyBox is installed (if the output of the previous command was /system/xbin/busybox, change to the directory /system/xbin):

cd /system/xbin

In this directory create a script which will remove the previous BusyBox symbolic links (the files don't even seem to be symbolic links, just something broken) and create new ones. The script is based on this, part Installing Busybox. Contents of the script (save it as fix.sh):

#!/system/bin/sh

for i in $(busybox --list) # get a list of applets
do
if [$i = su]
then
continue # we want to keep the su binary
fi
rm $i # remove broken files based on the list of applets
ln -s busybox $i # make symbolic links based on the list of applets
done

If the su binary gets overwritten, this will happen after reboot.

Give the script correct permissions (root - read, write, execute; group - read, execute; other - read, execute):

chmod 755 fix.sh

Run the script (make sure you run the script in the same directory as BusyBox is installed):

sh fix.sh

You might get an error like rm failed for <filename>, No such file or directory, this means that the script tried to remove a file that was supposed to be there according to BusyBoxe's list of applets but the file wasn't there - you can safely ignore this.

Finally remove the now unneeded script fix.sh

rm fix.sh

Now all BusyBox applets work. Please tell me if I have unintentionally broken something this way.

I only haven't managed to customise the value of the $PATH variable in a way so the system prefers binaries from /system/xbin to anything else (the BusyBox binaries tend to be better that their integrated counterparts; putting export PATH=/system/xbin:$PATH into /system/etc/init.d/05userinit doesn't do this). I want the $PATH variable to be changed in a way so I don't have to set it manually after connecting to the device via SSH, ADB or while using the terminal locally. If someone knows how to accomplish this, please tell me how.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wvy:
Are you sure you followed the steps correctly? I can't imagine what could have gone so severely wrong that you couldn't boot. Even if you accidentally removed BusyBox (I think that's the worst thing you could do here) you'd be still be able to boot and use the phone quite normally (apart from you and scripts that you made, usually only applications which need root access utilise BusyBox). The guide should even work on different ROMs and phones. The only thing that could be different is the location of BusyBox but that's also covered in the guide.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zxp:
Premise: I've searched this thread and found this question already asked but never answered.

A simple question: Is this ROM supporting the Android 4.0 official Full Device Encryption? It should be found in Settings, maybe under Personal > Security > Encryption > Encrypt phone as you can read in the official Android 4.0 guide for Nexus S.

This feature is

missing

in Sony stock ICS 4.0.4 (as you can read in some threads over Sony forums, eg: thread 1, thread 2), and there are many people interested in it because it is a significant advancement in Android security.

Is someone using this ROM so kind to tell if the above mentioned option is available? (Beware to

not enable it if you don't understand what it is and that you can't revert it

!)

Is anyone using it? kamarush can you shed some light on this topic?

Hey Karmarush.

Just thought I'd let you know how I'm getting on.....

Flashed the ROM earlier without doing the appropriate wipes and nearly had a heart attack after getting a bootloop :(

Then I proceeded to read the comments to diagnose it and re-wiped everything properly

Then panicked because I couldn't get wi-fi working, but remembered from earlier reading that I needed to flash the fix for it :good:

Now, I think the ROM is fricken AWESOME!! It's soooo fast by compairson to the stock sony ICS. I can seriously see this becoming my new everyday use ROM.

Thank-you so, so much Karmarush.

You sir, truly are a legend!
