[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I have tried to make TWRP working for my Xperia mini pro, so I can use an encrypted sdcard.

I haven't been able to get it working yet, but I will share what I have done so far.

Edit your .repo/local_manifest.xml and add this:

<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery" />
<project name="TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project" path="bootable/recovery" remote="github" revision="jb-wip" />

Delete the old recovery sources and download the new ones:

rm -R ~/android/system/out/target/product/mango/recovery
rm -R ~/android/system/out/target/product/mango/root/res/images
rm -R ~/android/system/bootable/recovery
cd ~/android/system
repo sync

Apply these patches (for mango):

cd ~/android/system/system/core
patch -p1 --forward -r- <[URL="http://www.faircode.eu/freexperia/patches/CMunified/tw_core.patch"]tw_core.patch[/URL]
cd ~/android/system/device/semc/mango
patch -p1 --forward -r- <[URL="http://www.faircode.eu/freexperia/patches/CMunified/tw_device_semc_mango.patch"]tw_device_semc_mango.patch[/URL]
cd ~/android/system/device/semc/msm7x30-common
patch -p1 --forward -r- <[URL="http://www.faircode.eu/freexperia/patches/CMunified/tw_device_semc_msm7x30_common.patch"]tw_device_semc_msm7x30_common.patch[/URL]

Everything builds and the basics are there, but the kernel won't boot.

If anyone can solve this, please let me know.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Yes, I know, but that should be correct.

The only other branch is master, which is not correct.

From the main CM9 thread:

Follow the link in my signature, then go to the section 'for developers' and you'll find a link to a page with all the patches and a script to apply them (be careful: your own changes will get erased). There is only one device specific patch (kernel_<device name>.patch), if you rewrite it (maybe it is enough to change the name of the referenced config file) for your device you can apply all patches and build the ROM.

I didn't fix the ALS, but I just enabled it and it just works for my device (see signature). The ALS settings seems not to work all, however.

If you have patches of your own, please share them.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gandhar:
okay great, i'll try the patch.

it will be a while before i can make a build again, at least a week so but i'll let you know if it works on lww.

i'll also try pdroid.

most patches iv'e had to apply are just build fixes. nothing feature oriented.

i'm going to try some stuff after a couple of weeks, if that succeeds, then i may have some patches for you.

thanks, good compilation of info on cm9/10 :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I have already adapted the patch and I will build and upload the extended ROM/kernel today. Since I cannot test it myself, could you please report if they work?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
This fix should only work for satsuma, coconut, smultron & mango which use bma250 sensor. For anzu, hallon, haida, iyokan, urushi you need to edit bma150_input.c instead

mindelay should be 5000 which is 5ms and not 0. I tested with value 5000 and it works fine, already pushed the changes to bring DASH up-to-date with the sonyxperiadev repository (the CM fork is currently 21 commits behind) and fix the lag on all xperia 2011 for CM10 to gerrit. I also made a pull request for this fix to the sonyxperiadev github.

EDIT: The fix is merged in CM10
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
Sorry for douple posting but, does the accelerometer lag exist in CM9 too? I don't remember since I'm using CM10 for a long time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Yes, the same as in CM10.

I have just backported the updated DASH from CM10 to CM9.

Problem with repo sync

Welcome.

Finally, I decided to build ROM on my own the first time. I chose CM9.1 because it seems to be the most stable custom ROM for my SK17i ( = mango = Xperia Mini Pro) device.

Unfortunately, I came across some problems which I could not fix on my own.

That's why I am asking for help.

I got stuck on "$ repo sync" command. It throws such an error:

Fetching projects: 97% (248/255) fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/ics
Fetching projects: 99% (253/255) fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/ics
error: Cannot fetch CyanogenMod/android_vendor_qcom_opensource_v8

error: Exited sync due to fetch errors

It looks like the problem is in CyanogenMod/android_vendor_qcom_opensource_v8 repository.

It exists but does not contain "ics" branch (it has "ics-release" instead).

Thank you in advance for any help.

EDIT:

I was able to fix this problem. I had to find some fork, where there still was "ics" branch and change i in manifest file.

And finally really do not try to do build it with Java7. It would be a waste of time. ;)

I think this was posted in the wrong section... there is already a thread about the unreasonable things asked of our devs. Lol.

I think a new rule is in order. If you don't have at least a little bit of an understanding of how porting works then don't request a port.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthik_hp_1992:
I saw a lot of videos on the internet talking about the SGS III's ability for OTG USB connections and I decided to try them out. While I was able to run a PSX Controller, a wireless keyboard and a mousewith the cable, I was able to get it to detect only a 4 GB pendrive and only in FAT32 format. It outright refused to detect my HDD of 160GB and 500GB {both NTFS} or my 8GB microSD card which I put in through a card reader. Now, most sites I've seen using the OTG feature use the 2nd cable I've posted as an attachment. I know this is an absurd longshot, but is there anyway that my using the cable in the 1st attachment instead of the second a reason for why it isn't working for me? If not, what am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
No, the cable is just fine if it works for some devices. Most generic ones just work fine.

The actual reasons are multiple:

NTFS is not supported by the stock kernel. Flash e.g. the aftermarket Siyahkernel to use the devices

Card readers need drivers, they are not "real" mass storage devices. I'm not sure if and which drivers are included in the kernel.

USB 2.5" HDD's without external power supplies need a HUGE amount of power, often even above the specified 500mAh. I don't think the S3 can provide that much power and you may damage it trying or even if it works (Altough I think it has a limiter, but better safe than sorry)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthik_hp_1992:
Thank God. I thought I screwed up the device somehow. I understand. I merely wanted to see whether or not I have support. I highly doubt I'll do anything beyond actually playing using the PSX Controller, but I wanted to know how far it can go. Just one more question. Flashing an aftermarket kernel means data loss right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Depends. You usually have (or at least are strongly recommended to) factory-reset the device due to the low-level changes between the ROM's which can and will cause issues.

However that is not really an issue;

Just copy your whole internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) to an USB stick and do the same with your Apps through Titanium Backup.

Then restore both again after having flashed the custom ROM and you're up and running without data loss.

You'll need root for Titanium Backup tough, just flash Siyahkernel or CF-Root through Odin to gain the privilege.

Hey guys. I've been jumping back and forth between darkside DW 2.7 and the KID radio and the nightly cm9 builds with UVLE.

When I'm connected to the cellular network and data I've got an unusual battery drain with UVLE and cm9 (I've also tried the latest Dark side ics offering. Same issue) as well as random heat at the back of the phone. At time the drain is so bad that when I charge off the computer the battery still goes down.

OK so I figured it out for anyone who is also interested in this, and its very easy. First of all I keep my back light off on the touch keys so there's no confussion. But I did that before switching them anyway...its just the way I like it. So you go to system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl and open with text editor. There are numbers followed by the key action. Just edit the key action to what you want(Make sure its in all caps). in my case I changed menu to back and back to menu. I then pressed the menu soft key and pressed save changes. It actually creates a new sec_touchkey.kl file and renames the old one to a .bak file. Just reboot and your good......

Hi guys n gals!

I need help lol.

I want to send in my phone for repair under warranty so I'm trying to unroot, as you do...

The problem I'm having is finding the right files, RUU and also the right version to go with the right kernel. Also which order to do things.

I have been looking at a lot of tutorials and posts, a lot of which have dead links to the files they refer to.

My CID is HTC_001. So I believe I need to have the RUU with 401 in the version no. I have located this file RUU_Endeavor_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe which seems to be available.

My hboot is 1.39 and I'm not sure how this affects things?

I'm currently running venom x version 4.0.7 with stock kernel.

I don't want to take up a lot of anyone's time, but just to let me know what the right files are and if available, where to get them.

Thanks a million.

Actually this is a newer version from the same place RUU_Endeavor_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
