Ok I have the ICS browser and Chrome. I logged into my gmail and chrome information. I did not see any of my bookmarks in chrome browser. However when I go to the ICS browser it has all my chrome bookmarks....

Can anyone help me out with that?

Maxthon

I really like Maxthon, instant back is a must for me. It is similar to Miren which I loved on Froyo/Gingerbread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Opera: it's fast, has very good window management and incorporates the best text reflow on zoom in/out of the browsers I have tried. For that matter, Chrome and Stock ICS browsers don't reflow text and Firefox had its own issues.

Opera plays Flash apps fine, from what I've experienced.

Opera Link can offer a central sharing point for your favorites/bookmarks and other settings between your Opera browsers, so copying around a hardcopy file you've generated would probably not be necessary.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GSUKeitarou:
Sorry beforehand, my english is bad and this may be a long read.

I know that on the noob video you ask us to keep it short, but i think it won't hurt to explain what i need, what i found, and what i don't get yet.

Ok, i've got my SE LWW about a month ago, unfortunately it has bootloader locked and it's unlockable.

Then i decided to start experimenting.

Tried a few Custom ROMs, and they were great, but some lacked a function i liked from Stock ROM, or lacked my languaje (spanish).

This is my 1st Android phone, i come from a "long line" of Symbian devices, so i was used to make custom firmwares for my devices. I used to change stock wallpapers, settings and apps so everytime i had to do a hard reset (or factory restore) everything would be as i wanted, so i wanted to do about the same with Android.

So where do i began?

Searching the net, of course, i found myself directed to this place many times, and i found many "Make your Own Custom ROM" topics, but most all of them were for different devices or different Android versions.

So, i followed some tutorial on making a custom rom.

Took the Stock ROM, renamed it to .zip and extracted the files there.

"Alas, the system folder is a file named "system.sin" instead, what do i do with this?"

Extract it with ftf extractor, obviously

Great, i now see all the files suppossed to be on the system folder :D

Now i can edit its contents :)

...but wait a second...

1.- Ok, now i have some APKs i want to have on my cellphone, and deleted many, while updating some that have updates... but now... how do i make this into a system.sin file again?, or just making a system.zip and using CWM should work?

2.- Do i need to use some special setting for the .zip file, which i have to rename to .ftf?

Key questions are these, plus some:

3.- can i get a custom rom like this to be flashed directly by using Flashtool?

4.- can it have CWM and Root too?

5.- if it can be "this easy", what is the kitchen used for, then?

Now for what i have:

Sony Ericsson wt19i Live With Walkman

Stock ROM 4.1.B.0.587 (ICS)

Rooted using DarkLords' Zerg method and XPeria Root rev.4

So far, i've deleted many built-in apks, and i got around 100mb (or so) "system" space available on the phone

i know i can make some backup files with CWM, but to get it to work after a "failed experiment" means flashing, then rooting, then flashing again, and getting back the root with ICS, that's why i'd like to make a Custom ROM which could be flashed from Flashtool directly

Thanks for reading, and sorry, it sure was a lot (and there was so much else i wanted to ask...)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prithvim7:
Are there any custom Roms for locked bootloader for lww?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GSUKeitarou:
I tried Real ICS and Real MIUI

Real ICS lacked some stuff i liked from Stock Rom, but it's a great Custom ROM, it replaces many original features with better and upgraded versions.

Real MIUI replaces pretty much everything, making your phone look a totally new and different device, but this version doesn't has spanish as languaje. I don't quite mind the lack of it, but my girlfriend complained she wasn't able to use it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 4736004:
Have you tried android kitchen?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prithvim7:
hey,how did you install custom Roms on your lww with locked bootloader? Please tell me I'm having wt19i rooted,cwm installed,locked bootLoader pls
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GSUKeitarou:
you mean this?

Checked it before, but file structure doesn't match. May try it later, but would this method allow me to install the ROM from Flashtool?

or i'd have to use CWM to flash?

Thanks for your reply

Copy, paste and fix from Real ICS:

Copy the zip file to your SD card

Reboot your device in CWM

Make a full data wipe-factory reset

Wipe cache and Dalvik cache

Choose install zip from sd card

Choose the zip file you copied earlier

Wait for installation to finish, reboot and follow the sony setup wizard through the rest of the setup process

Reboot again and enjoy!

The process is pretty much the same for all custom roms with locked bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prithvim7:
I mean if there are any custom Roms for locked bootloader phones wt19i,sory I'm new to XDA... If there are any pls give me their names or links
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 4736004:
Yes. There are... You can search xda forums.. But generally most Roms require unlocked boatloader..

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

I've tried mostly all Roms including cm7.2/9/9.1 , minicm, real ics / lite.... Out of these I've found cm9.1 to be most stable and light.. On the other side real ics lite is an excellent feature packed Rom but its resource demanding.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prithvim7:
Yes,cwm is installed!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Then just download the rom from development section and copy to sd card.

Reboot phone in cwm and see in the thread, what has to be formatted or wiped (like data, cache or system)

After that, choose "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip" and install the zip.

Reboot and enjoy :)

Hey I've downloaded it and wiped my phone in everyway,even after installing it my phone is on the same stock Rom :( I've never Seen this happen before,even after installing custom Rom(real ICS lite) its on same old Rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Try MiniCMSandwich, that's got a very different UI. That's abnormal...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
First, if you're trying to build your own ROM, look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=560271

This will reduce the size of your apps. Since I see you care about free space.

Take a LWW ROM and just edit it to your liking. e.g. change build.prop, updater-script etc.

Or, if you extracted /system form ftf file. Take another ROMs zip, and delete it's /system folder and replace with yours.

It worked for me. It's easier if you find a zip without aroma installer though.

Hope that helps :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ricardo_r:
Hi!

I'm currently running FXP137 CM9.1 on my LWW, but there are some stuff I would like to have from stock ROM.

To put it simple, from Cyanogenmod I would like to have the lockscreen, customization options (like home screen grid size, notification bar toggles, etc...) and the buttons on the bottom of the home screen rather than the 4 corner docks and from stock, I would like to have all the apps (camera, calculator, calendar, phone, messages, etc...), widgets, equalizer, xLoud and Xperia theme. Something that would look more or less like this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796272

What directions should I take? And should/can I start from CM9 or from Sony stock ROM?

Thanks in advance! ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GSUKeitarou:
sure, i'll try to get something done as soon as i can, the idea is to get an optimized (or at least updated) version of the stock rom, without all the unneeded stuff like the UEFA thing, or the alternative stores.

I'll post here any progress
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Allen Hu:
You can try the guide of Neroyoung.

Although he has a mini pro,

But it is almost the same as LWW.

Give a try!

It's not that hard.

Making custom Rom is simply adding features to stock Rom.

Questions answering:

1.Make it a flashable zip using Winrar, be sure you edit the META-INF folder

2.If you mean the META-INF folder, keep it stock I think is ok

3.Flashtool is only for stock rom, never try to rename it to ftf and flash it

4.If you took it from the stock ftf then no it won't ( Have to add root files ) , and CWM if you wanna make it for Locked and Unlocked BL you have to use AROMA installer or make patches, To make locked bootloader have CWM you must add these files:

system/bin/charger

system/bin/chargermon

system/bin/recovery.tar

system/xbin/sh

5.It's not that easy, You need bugfixing

If you really need more space you can try odexing your rom ( Suggest you not to do that ):p

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GSUKeitarou:
wow, that was quite a good explanation, thanks :D

so, for ( 5 ), i can have CWM by just adding those files? Great :D

So far, if i make a rom, the 1st few tries probably won't have Arome, so having CWM by just adding files will help a lot

Thanks a lot for your help :D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GSUKeitarou:
Ok, i can say i succeded by following Nero's guides, tho there's a lot to do:

I managed to make a pre-rooted & CWM-added ROM, also added a few things and they worked more or less fine.

The thing i couldn't fix was WiFi after flashing, maybe i deleted something i shouldn't in the process, but oh well, 2 tries, and both booted alright, tried the CWM and worked fine too.

Now i'll revert back to stock ROM to get a SYSTEM folder clean (no useless apps) and use that as base (i didn't use this method as i was using Real ICS at the moment, and i don't want to get a ROM that looks like a copy of smething else)
