Managed to remove gapps by mounting the SD card in recovery.

BTW, always bugged me : do you actually wipe the phone before or after flashing the rom ? Silly question, but i always read different stuff all over internet ...

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Managed to apply gapps found here : http://goo.im/devs/KonstantinKeller/mako/gapps/gapps-4.2-JOP40C-121116.zip

The installation wizard crashes, but after configuring everthing.

So now instead of the 2 cameras configuration of before, we have ... 3 ! Lol.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abkokalo:
You can always revert to everything to stock by flashing 2.3.4 with flashtool and then falshing kernel and gapps will be erased.

That's how I solved my problem...

Doesn't really matter, nothing gets written to Cache during flash operations and Dalvic Cache gets rewritten after boot.

Ok so everytime TB boot up, he talks about acknowleding unknown sources, wich i did. There seem to be something wrong here.

Edit : TB problem solved with a reboot, go figure.

Also, leaving the phone alone put him into some sort of semi-sleep : if i press the on button, you see the already black screen turning off. Then a second press turns it on.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
you can still manually flash gapps with cwm like the old days....so place a working gapps onto your sdcard and reboot into recovery (pull the battery if you have to) and then flash the "good" gapps....the gapps package should delete the old gapps. At least for me the first boot up was a little bit rough, with the boot animation stalling (also the android optimization), but just be patient and don't immediately yank the battery at the first sign of stalling....

you can mount the sdcard in recovery in order to load the good gapps....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kafka Datura:
Yeah solved it by mounting the SD card in CMW, didnt even know we could do that ...

Anyway, the swype keyboard doesn't get any word for me. Maybe because i'm typing in french ? It still autocorrects most of my words with normal typing though.

Great work on 4.2....having fun yet?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dreezz:
installed 4.2, gapps, removed unneeded apps, restored tb backup+personal settings...

no problems sofar, except for a time without mobile data when i was out (could be my mobile providers fault).

when i was home i rebooted, and all was fine.

the 2g/3g toggle doesn't respond fast/at all, when i want to switch to 2g.

i see some options i guess am not gonna use (multi-user, lockscreen slide pages with different ways to unlock (unlock/camera/...) i prefer the 8-app ring on my unlock screen, is a lot faster) and the kernel doesn't have smartassv2 and low mhz (yet), and...

i miss pa-options, and aopkp rom control, but...

nevertheless, it's so stable (atm) that i think i will keep it for daily use, and explore it some more... :good:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dreezz:
menus like "settings" appaer a lot faster.

i use apex launcher, and it feels as smooth as with v18. i was pretty content with v18, had only some lag while calling for settings menu, pa-settings and stuff like that, overall no complaints.

this pre-alpha version is certainly not slower/laggier than v18 imho.

hmm, i downloaded a couple with search string "gapps-4.2-JOP40C-121116.zip" but am not sure from which site i installed it.

first boot took a lot of time, my screen had some strange looks (blocks, black...) but in the end started fine.

give it a try!

How to change tablet mode to phone mode for gmail app in PAC JB 18.

Hi,

I was using PAC JB 15 alpha since a month with fun. But when I saw there are latest versions, namely PAC 18. I immediately flashed it with all said procedures. But one thing that is making my life difficult is default tablet mode for gmail app. There is No Paranoid settings now. And the fact that screen size of xperia ray is too small to have tablet mode for gmail. Any help appreciated.

Thank you,

(Might be asked before, but I can't transfer files from my PC to phone via USB. When I click 'Turn on USB storage' on my phone, System UI crashes. I'm on FlyKernel 3 and PAC 18.)

Edit: Works after rebooting. There's no problem at all :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] szl.kiev:
did it also occur with the provided kernel (pac kernel)?

If the bug persist:

1. try with factory reset (wipe data) & don't restore from TB, just restore from google.

2. try updating usb driver, get it from sony website

ps: I never encountered it even once (I always wipe data) also i'm in windows7 64 bit ever try with other OS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] 02S:
No it works now I rebooted the ROM. And it's likely caused by me messing with the ROM because I deleted some system apps (Torch, Terminal Emulator and Video Editor) via a File Explorer and didn't rebooted after doing that. All my fault :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jareee:
I had also this problem.. I deleted torch.apk & PhaseBeam.apk.. after restored apks, problem was solved.

szl.kiev or maybe wechy77, langes if you have list of application which may be deleted after flashing could you please add this list to in the FAQ .

or maybe description for unknown apks.

thanks a lot :good:

JellyBean 2 - First Impressions

I've gone against a few things I've said before and loaded JB4.2 anyway :D

What I can say:

-Super smooth ROM, very resposive

-True to szl.kiev's word everything works except the mentioned BT, "Setting>storage" and camera

-I agree with dreezz, this is good enough for daily use (if you can do without BT and camera)

-I think JB4.2 boots faster (anyone else notice this?)

Things to be fixed (in case you do not know yet :p)

-layouts

-need options for slide unlock (ROM control?)

-need smartassv2 and SIO

I took a gamble and flashed JB4.2 with the gapps from abkokalo's link without wiping anything.

I did make a full backup in TB as well as CWM before though, do not attempt this without making backups!

Good Job szl.kiev, you're the man! :highfive:

I wouldn't say it's dangerous, but i don't really see a point in doing that: your battery drains a lot faster, the phone overheats...I'm on 1ghz , sometimes 1.2 and I'm really happy with it. :good:

Flashed kernel, full wipe everything, flash ROM, flash GAPPS4.2-20121116. Waiting first boot. To be continued...

EDIT1: My, my, Johnny - this was a fast boot! Looks fine.

EDIT2: Setup the phone. No FC so far. Where's ROM control?!

EDIT3: Phone boots insanely fast. Had to check if all apps are OK. I was sure this is not normal, lol.

TB 5.7.2 works fine, restored all my apps+data, messages, calls, wifi.

It's device dependent, every ray is special:p now I'm on 18 with pac kernel and constantly on 1400 but it does not mean u can do it with your ray but it's also possible that your ray can be on 1600,u must test by yourself

Ray is a compact smarthphone, every piece is close to each other. If you use it a lot @1.6 GHz, then the overheating can damage something. I think it's better to stay at 1,4 GHz max.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] justmpm:
You seem to know exactly how the problem started and it seems like the solution is pretty obvious.... restore the pac18 wifi modules or reflash flykernel...is there a reason why you didn't try it? There are a lot of ways for something to be "broken"...imagine if the brakes on a car are broken...the car will still go and you can still steer it...but it will be a little bit hard to stop the car once it gets going.....

The attached zip should restore the pac18 wifi modules, just flash it in recovery. Unfortunately, I don't have pac18 on my phone right now...so you will have to test it out...let me know if it doesn't work....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Andrev01:
Thanks, but I have had the same problem earlier, with stock PACman kernel and his wifi modules. My post above was an example, that wifi couldn't even connect, so I turned it off, but the device didn't go to deep sleep :) Anyway - thanks for this zip, will be useful.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Langes:
Battery drain is very normal to me ...

Bugs: layouts need some work, but all-in-all the phone still does what it did with PAC only smoother and less lag.

There is still very little available in terms of customisation, but I'm sure this will get sorted as we go along.

notes:

no international data roaming in settings, so i miss the roaming symbol (3g, h(sdpa), g(prs). any solution to make it visible?

gmail gives me a red led when mail is received, in pac v18 i thought it was off. i like t turn it off, how? (preferably without led-app).

whatsapp audio natifiacation works, but no led.

and what my vietnames friend ^^ is trying to say: switching (2/3g toggle) doesn't always work.

battery life is quite the same as with v18.

i'll keep 4.2 a while longer, i think.

But when you try to download any apps like Gogle+ , It will show device isn't compatible, thus you have to switch it back before installing any app that requires 240 screen density

It is from CM I believe. Gmail notification can be controlled from Gmail's setting

Got a few reboots minutes after phone goes to sleep while charging.

Camera 4.1 works up to 5MP. Camera ICS is fine though. Don't like the lockscreen - need more widgets. Need BT badly! And ROM control + developer options.

Just got another reboot. Last try. Full wipe and reflash... :( (my fingers hurt from inputing credentials LOL)

I'll put in this thread, I prefer not to maintain lots of thread.

At first it will be a separate rom as a teaser, the purpose is to merge every best part from different build into just 1 rom
