Thanks for responding.

I've done this procedure.

But when the phone restarts it does not get to the ROOT User
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
If you have unlocked bootloader the easiest way to root your phone is to install munjeni's kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lamorim:
Root xperia u

I would not want to unlock the bootloader ..

ROOT access only wanted to install some programs and make some changes.

I do not have much knowledge on the subject ANDROID ...

:/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
I think it is possible to root your phone by installing b.10 kernel then rooting by bin4ry method and then installing back .54 kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lamorim:

With the current kernel there is no possibility of having ROOT User?

Sony Xperia U (ST25i) Arabic Menus

Hi,

I am new to all this and I need your help please.

I have just bought a Sony Xperia U (ST25i) for my brother but he only speaks Arabic, could you please tell me what is the best Arabic Rom I can download for this phone, preferably official Arabic ICS ROM if possible that is easy to update without voiding the warranty?

Thank you

Compile CyanogenMod from Source

I have had a quick play and it was easier than I expected. I read the guide on source.android.com/ , but followed the instructions on the CyanogenMod Wiki for another Sony phone wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Pro:_Compile_CyanogenMod_9_(Linux)

To remind myself of what I have done I made some notes in a similar style to the CyanigenMod instructions. blog.stuphi.co.uk/p/compiling-cyanogenmod.html It was my intention to add these notes to the CyanogenMod Wiki, but the Xperia U is not a supported phone at this time.

I hope this helps or inspires someone to have a go. The more people playing with this, the better our phones will be! :) It is also rather cool having your own username show up on the phones settings page! :)

Hi everybody, i got my xperia u since 2 days ago and today decided to update to ics, well i got to say there is more lag overall but also some increased performance in some areas.Now for my question, does setting backround proccesses to 2 does anything harmfull for the device ?, because i know it does increase performance but is it anything else to consider ?, thanks. Oh and also i dont know why but my weather widget now refuses to update and it always throw me a "no network acces" or something like that but wifi is on and i checked there is internet also, any tips to make it work again ?.

Can anyone clear up the versions of stock firmware?

I'm on 6.1.1.B.1.54 (O2 UK) which i think is the latest, but i see some versions with C.10 or something flying about. The camera on my rom is very slow and battery drains very fast. Is there a later version been released in another area of the world which could benefit me? I have root, but unlockable BL.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
C.1.0 is the fastest and latest ;) The version details by T-Mobile is just incomplete so it appears to Sony as B.1.10 even though its faster than and less bug-prone than B.1.10 and B.1.54 ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolnow:
Thank you mate! So B.1.10 is older, B.1.54 is old and C.1.0 is the newest? Thanks for that info, i'm off to find a way to get it with an unlocked BL (is it possible?).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
The true order of B.1.54 and C.1.0 is under debate but no doubt, C.1.0 is better and has more fixes so Id say its better :p

And just flashing the FTF will do for getting it,even with Unlocked bootloader ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] coolnow:
I've been reading that thread where they're debating about the order and i have to say i think C.1.0 is newer purely because the camera feels a little snappier now whereas in B.1.54 it was horrendously slow. Also battery life has improved for me quite a bit with C.1.0 (no real tests, but drops at a lower pace).

Hi guys

I am stil running gb .564 if i remember

But weather widget says that all locations that i type

And still i dont have a oficial update to ics ;)

When netherlands will get official update ?

Dont wanna flash with flashtool because when i do tht i have the urge to root / hack the whole phone :p

Like i did with my galaxy ace
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] diegonnc:
Lol, well according to what ive read the update comes in some sort of "waves" so maybe your country will receive the update later.As for the weather widget it is indeed a sony problem, mine started to work yesterday afternoon, but was failing since 3 days ago.

Edit: I do understand your flashing impulses as i had an ace too and i was in a flashing spree everytime, been flashing my ace like 8 times a day lately.But you must hold your horses, well at least until the warranty voids.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SpaceCaker:

A whole lot of questions

My Phone is Xperia U with root and Unlocked bootloader. [Unlocked yesterday - I got the message Bootloader unlocked successfully or watever on CMD, after following the instrustions].

A1)I wanted to install Google Now [on ICS] aka http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 Using the app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916926 . In both the places it is said that u require the rom to be Deodexed. Since mine is stock rom, i assume i should have to deodex mine. Which i am prolly linked to do so by using this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html So how much does deodexing actually take as i believe new files per file is created. (aka odex files)(in terms of space)?

2 - Also wanted an opinion from those who have tried on its usability/ Phone speed with GNow active etc.

B1)First off any way to check whether my bootloader is unlocked?

2) I plan on installing CM9.1 (by FXP). So, Downloaded the kumquat file (FXP201-cm-9-20130103-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat.zip) as was given. Inside the zipfile, All i can find is the boot.img / System (folder) / and META-INF (folder). So from where am i supposed to get the FXP.zip and gapps.zip

3) I am using the stock Kernals/Governors IO etc. Should I be adding (or flashing from what i see everyone here say -I guess coz of CWMR). Was thinking of maybe flashing<a href="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934749"> Andyx Governors module</a>. Should i be doing that? Also Is installing it after installing CM9.1 ok?(I feel i should be doing one at a time, so that i don't get overwhelmed, and in case i do something wrong, for easier troubleshooting).

4) I've been hearing quite a bit about KeiranFTW's Kernal for XU. Is that supposed to be the best Kernal for XU? Or is brainkafka's??? In Brain's I think i saw quite a few saying they lost root. So how do i get root back in that case?

5) Generally amongst the ROMs available for XU, which one is generally the best to opt for atm? Asof now I know about Paranoid/MIUI/ Brain'sROM/ AOSP/ LiGUX. I don't know of anymore if they are there. :/

NOTE:- My Build no is shown as 6.1.1.B.1.10 (I believe it isn't the latest firmware - though trying to update through OTA/ SUS is not giving me any new updates).

6) Should I upgrade to the latest firmware? (I actually couldn't get the link. All i could see was some pics confirming that such firmware updates exist.) Also is latest firmware a required necessity for the CM versions to work?

7) Since I Unlocked my Bootloader, now will i not be able to use SUS/OTA?

8) On installing CM9.1 do i loose root? Is there a way to get root back (I assume so.. can i get link to thread/instructions?)

9) Mainly I'm told that CM9.1 is to be used for its speed. Yet I get a score of 7066 on Antutu benchmarking (using my stock rom with nor kernels/tweaks) which seems higher than alot of values I'm seeing here on XDA XU users' uploads. (And using over 100 apps btw - I did Unlock my BL though, hence there was a system wipe, but all the apps have been re-installed)

incorrect rington

Hi guys!

I have searched the forum for this issue, but haven't found a solution.

So my girlfriend's xperia U is working oddly: she set different ringtones for different contacts, but when someone calls her instead of the correct ringtone, the phone plays the ringtone of the last call's contact. So eg. she calls me, then her sister calls her, the my ringtone plays instead of her sister's.

Can anyone confirm this bug of have a solution?

Thanks!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] The_0bserver:
First off I'll claim that I am a noob, so trusting me would prolly be fool-hardy...

When u search on the phone (through update centre or elsewhere). it checks if there is an OTA (over the air- i believe) update, which generally comes a lot later. The update version that u get over SUS (Sony Update service) or PC Companion are firmware updates (tracked to ur region).

There is a time delay (to create the software) for the OTA one as compared to the SUS one, as alot more variables probably need to be checked as the installation is (prolly) done in a different way. Specially since the commands are run locally on the phone, whereas for the SUS, the laptop/PC acts as the Master which configures how the updates act. (_.Which is far easier to code/control).

Have a nice day. :)

---------- Post added at 04:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

Yeah the Default case (aka its own body/exterior) doesn't seem to be strong enough handle alot of shocks. I'm just using a silicone based cover for the phone (around 150 Indian Rupees) from a nearby shop. Also a screen protector (which is somehow 200 Rs).

Anyone know how come the Screen guard is more costlier than the case?

There is a way to root .54 and to do that you need to flash b.1.10 kernel and then root and return again to .54.

If I may say so v6 to me was much faster then v10. Don't know why, but I'm pretty sure it's not placebo. It stutters while opening the app list, etc... Will give it a try for few days. Maybe it will be better.

I would try something CM based, but as far as I see there is no 100% functioning ROM. either there is a camera or tethering problem... Maybe I am wrong.

Yes, I think that you are absolutely right about Brains ROM. IMO, all the stock based ROMs are extremely slow when compared to CM9. Once when you try CM9, you'll be surprised how fast Xperia U can be.

I'm not sure if tethering works in CM9 202, but everything else is just fine or can be fixed easily. You must try it.

It's a shame that we don't have more custom rom options for this little great phone. Hardware is more then enough. I remember how much options I had for my old Sonic. I appreciate all the wok developers do. I am not a programmer or a developer, but I know how much effort it takes.

I would go for CM, but I need 24/7 functioning phone + i don't want to unlock boot loader (voids warranty).

If I decide to go CM, which one to chose? Where is the list of bugs. In all the Rom topics they say Bugs -> same as fxp this or that version. I would like to know what are the exact bugs. Unfortenatly I don't have time to test it for myself.

Regarding bugs of fxp 202

Volume is low

No a2dp

No fm radio

Led bar blinks on touching screen
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fleks5:
Thnx for the reply with bug list :)

Yes we do. But they are unfortunately not completely functional (as you listed below).

Volume that is low is a big problem. I use my phone as a phone a lot. If i can't hear somebody in a tram, that's a no go.

without a2dp I can live, but would like it.

FM radio - the same as above.

Led bar is one of the things why I decided to buy this phone. It's awesome when I can set it up with illumination app to blink when I have missed call, email or SMS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theronkinator:
Same reason I've not bothered (I'm bootloader unlockable), but low volume is a major issue for me as use my phone a lot on trains and things so need the volume, and LED bar was a big appeal for me as well (although I think there are work arounds for this?).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stuphi:
A few answers

1,2) From my experience, don't bother. Does not work as well as it should.

B1) on stock ROM, you can enter a code on the dialer and it will show you information. In there where it says if the boot loader can be unlocked, it should now sat that it is unlocked.

3) search these forums for gapps. Copy that zip and FXP zip to sdcard. Extract boot.IMG from FXP zip. Run 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' That will load new kernel. Boot but press vol down when the led bar flashes. Now select load zip file in CWM. install FXP zip, gapps zip. Wipe data and dalvic cache. Reboot. Enjoy :)

4,5,6) Not relevant to cm9

7) no, but you can relock bootloader if you want to.

8) no. Cm9 will give you full root.

9) best thing is to give cm9 a try. What I did was find a kernel for my stock ROM that included cwm. Then did a full system backup. Installed cm9 and gave a try. On earlier versions I was not happy, so was able to return to stock with all my apps and settings in just a few minutes.
