---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

there's another way, the hard way. its a very difficult process & can easily cause brick if u r not a pro. this process involve removing ur phone cover, battery, playing around with wires. they use the st tool if im not wrong. from what i remember, this can prevent warranty void, unlike the easy method(key).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Doesn't matter as when you unlock the bootloader your device gets reset losing all the data. So go ahead and unlock then reroot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
im not sure but i unlock bootloader first before i root.

after installing ultimate sola 2, i reboot & it freeze at sony logo for almost an hour, is it ok?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shuhail:
Hi

i m thinking of purchasing xperia p for aed 1000, but i wanted to know something .

does it have any screen freeze issue faced by like some xperia p users facing. or is it resolved ?

does it play 720p videos in s/w mode and hardware mode ?

how is the camera quality , is it better than s2 ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
first of all, r u on a tight budget? if not, go for the s2. s2 n p has 8mp back camera, video call camera & 1gb ram, but s2 is way better then p(higher processor speed). AMOLED save more battery & bravia engine use more battery. or if u have some crazy money, go for note 2, or wait till march for new xperia zl to roll out. the zl is basically a downgrade version of note 2. dont buy the wrong phone n regret like me. rooting is a pain in the head.

p/s: if u want me to play honest, xperias are stylish, but samsung has excellent performance. so im looking forward to the new xperia zl. i wonder is this the all show no go phone like other xperias or sony has chg their mind. all the good things are scattered in different xperias, but for samsung, all good things are focus in 1 phone, just like galaxy s & galaxy note series.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lvw2000:
I don't agree. The Xperia P is smaller than the S2 (I prefer not too big phones) and it has a much sharper screen. I also think everyone will agree that the Xperia P is a much prettier phone (yes looks do matter when purchasing a phone or any other object you carry with you every day)

Also, as far as I know there are no screen freezing issues any more. I've never experienced any and in general the stock firmware is rather smooth.

The main disadavantage of the Xperia P imo is the rather small developer community, especially when you compare it to the S2.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shuhail:
@hate android lag

yes i m on tight budget . the reason i chose xperia p is its look. so i needed to know about the screen freeze issue...

@lvw2000

ok . is it able to play 720p videos in software mode
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
oh i see. anyway, i would prefer a s2 over p. i think its ok, not very big. the xperia s, zl, sl, z & note series are far much more bigger. i notice that only xperia zl, z n acro s are nice in white colour. other xperias with white option are often mixed with black in an awful way. for galaxies, they come in whole white, so i think its nice in a simple way. perhaps u may love your p, but u may hate it when it started to lag. i used to love my sola until it give me super lag even when i do simple task like sms n dialing number. by the time samsung has quad core, sony only has dual.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WilsonML5:
I'm not satisfied with my stock Sola's battery life. With almost no use at all, it will last a day. My question is, will a custom ROM like MIUI improve its battery life? Or is it better to stay stock?

Thanks

U will loose warranty for sure if u unlock bootloader, Not necessarily so if u just root.

Dunno about the hard way and stuff, but i rooted my phone 2-3 weeks b4 unlocking my bootloader. (XPERIA U but i think the method might work,just search the U forums,<- Android Development Forums for U). Make sure to just check with the OP though/ thread commenters.

I'm newbie in android phone. I have questions about cyanogen mond and fxp. What are they? It's like custom ROM or not? And what is difference from custom base ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] palahjunkie:
I want to know if someone can teach me of point me on how to use Atis112 ramdisk on Xperia U to use a new paranoid android rom on locked bootloader. I merged using a tutorial of porting but it wont install in cmw
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] waqar ansari:
serj'ndm consider

Yes, Cyanogenmodmod is a custom rom. It is available for many devices. The Cyanogenmod roms which are made specially for Sony Xperia devices are called FXP (which stands for "Free Xperia Project"). According to me, Cyanogenmod roms are far better than the stock roms, cuz i use Sony Xperia GO. In this device (and other similar xperia devices) the ICS update proved to be a failure. it had huge lags, many bugs, and other disappointing stuff. I was forced to flash back to the older GB rom. the problem with that ICS upgrade was that it used only 600 MHz of the CPU. I really love ICS and its cool theme and other cool stuff, so, I switched to 'Cyanogenmod 9 FXP 202', an alternative of ICS, in this rom there's an option to tweek the CPU usage, if kept on maximum (i.e. 1000 MHz) the phone works smooth like butter.

sorry for such a big reply.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] keygo:
Yes, FXP202 is a relief.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WilsonML5:
Since I can't yet post in the development section, can anyone tell me if FireDroid for Sola is basically the same as CM9?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] waqar ansari:
Yes, it is completely cm9. But I'd suggest you to go for the original cm9 latest version instead of firedroid. Since firedroid has More bugs. Cm9's latest release is very stable, it only lacks radio.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
Yeah, there's a mistake. st25i Xperia U, lt25i Xperia V ;)

If I unlock it, do I have to root before flashing CM9? And after flashing, will it be rooted?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xGrinder:
Hey XDA! I have some Questions regarding CyanogenMod and my Xperia Sola.

1. Is it possible to add AndyX Govenors to the CM9 by FXP?

2. Can i add the v6Supercharger Script to CM9?

3. Are all the Mods in the Mod Section only for stock based roms?,Because id like to use some of them on my CM9 Phone. (Backing to stock is no option because all the stock based roms are not fast enough for me.)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] capricornian:
hey I 'm on Infinity ROM, Locked BL, Xperia Sola.. It was working fine for the first day, now I am having FC on all apps which have scrolling, FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc.. just wanted to know if I can get a solution..

I had installed it over stock ICS, since dev said wiping data is not required, i didnt do it... however, since the FC started i did wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.. still didnt work

I cleared app data and app cache manually.. didnt work

I used Fix permission in ROM Manager.. didnt work

I uninstalled and reinstalled all the three apps.. didnt work..

I have run out of options.. please help...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
Yes.Although service center might overlook it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
actually if u r using a crappy phone, the bootloader is WORTH unlocking, which will grants u to many access to ur phone & gives lots of freedom, provided u know what u r doing. i unlock first before i root. it depends n the rom, if the creator say need to root before flash, then follow it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WilsonML5:
So in CM9 for Sola, do you need to root it before flashing the ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
i think so, but u can confirm with cm9 website

No.Only unlocked bootloader.

Xperia sola battery drainage

I have recently updated my xperia sola to ics. The main problem I am facing is fast battery drainage, after average usage runs only 12 hours. But previously on GB it atleast runs for 24 hours.I have tried all the things wifi,gps bluetooth,bravia engine are off. In standby battery doesn't consumes alot but its its actually during active usage when batterry is draining. 1% in 5 min approx. Other than that I have no issue, No lag,smooth interface and feels good than GB.

Do I click on exclude kernel or leave it?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
shut down unwanted processes, activate extended battery standy mode, flash a custom ROM(they usually drain less battery). to flash a ROM, go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1937792 & pick the one u like, then follow the instructions there. it may require u to unlock bootloader & root, which will void your warranty. but i suggest you to wait & see whether there's a lightweight Jelly Bean based ROM for SOLA as the ICS based ROMs doesnt look that good. i recently flashed ultimate sola 2 but it still doesnt give me much usable RAM & is unstable. it wont cause brick but will produce some bugs.

Hi Spectre51,

I tried flashmode and 599 and did not check ignore kernel, and when i boot my screen is really dim.

I connected with usb debugging as per the tutorial but the root button is greyed out. I tried My devices and force root, it just said device already rooted. So I flashed 75 kernel, and its back to normal but when I try root checker it says device not rooted.

Also there is no check boxes in wipe just boxes in kernel and ignore finalisation or validation.

flashtool version 0.9.10.1

only unlocked bootloader

For some reason I have Superuser icon, but it says I dont have root access.

Goal is to root and instal Miui rom.

Can you direct me to a link for a fresh install of my stock rom so I can restart this?

And is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks for your help all....aghhh PSP and iphone was really easy for me to do, Im ok with technical stuff, but Im just stuck with android for some reason ??
