Hey guys,I own optimus one and I m used to rooting and stuff but my brother owns xperia mini pro so I need to install cyanogenmod (9 or10) whichever is stable.I had gone through various guides and stickies yet I want to be dead sure that I don't mess up my brothers handset. Its kinda new coz bootloader needs to be unlocked and also kernel image needed to be flashed separately unlike in optimus one.

Now I want help of you guys in the following manner like:-

1. My brothers mini pro is on ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and the rooting tutorial provided here for the said firmware

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0 is not clear to me coz it says that first I need to install some kernel [only mini mentioned here] then next I need to flash another kernel according to firmware. Can someone explain what is being done in this and why rooting is so complicated in this.

2. Certain ROM's say that you need to flash kernel first using flashtool :confused:

My query is that all ROM's that I flashed till now on optimus one included kernel and I only needed to flash ROM zip through cwm.. So do I need to flash kernel everytime I flash ROM!! and isn't there flashable zip for kernel too!!

3. FXP ROM's do not contain things like what's working and what's not, it only has issue tracker so it become difficult for new comer to know the bugs in ROM. Can anyone tell me the least bugs cm9 & cm10 ROM and what are the bugs present.

4. Lastly, should I proceed like this!!

i. Root device (though method isn't clear to me)

ii. unlock bootloader

iii. install cwm (I guess I can do this using flashtool)

iv. backup current ROM along with kernel (for future use,I know its optional)

v. flash kernel using flashtool

vi. flash ROM through cwm.

I m a quick learner and I just need some guidance on this new device (double checking coz its my bro's device) . Looking forward for support. Thanks :)

You needn't root first if you want to unlock bl, just unlock bl and flash a custom kernel (in most custom kernels cwm is included).

Backup your rom and install the rom...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
hmmm....

1. Unlock Bootloader........

2. Flash Custom Kernel (all custom kernel is per-rooted and have CWM).......

3. Boot into CWM and Flash CM9 or CM10 (factory format/wipe dalvik/cache).....

4. Boot into Fastboot And Flash FXP kernel for CM9 or CM10.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
xperia phones aren't like sammy, lg or htc where recovery is a separate partition from kernel. in fact, by default xperia phones doesn't even have "stock recovery" like on other phone. by that we integrate cwm in kernel ramdisk.

and to answer the question:

1- flash custom kernel mean't for your phone only, never ever flash kernel intended for other phone. and its done via fastboot and should be flashed before flashing rom.

2- like i said u can't compare xperia phone with other phone like sammy etc, its different. kernel must be flash via fastboot.

3- for cm10, bugs that i notice is slow accelerator, but fixable with some text editing, and non working front camera for lww and minipro.

4- should be like this, according to order:

- unlock bootloader.

- flash kernel via fastboot.

- boot into cwm.

- backup rom if u want.

- wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. don't wipe system partition or u will get error when flashing rom later.

- flash rom, and gapps if its cm/aokp/pa rom.

- profit :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundoozzz:
thank you guys.... this made me clear... :)

one last thing :- which kernel should I flash on stock 4.1.B.0.587 which is pre rooted and have cwm after unlocking bootloader.I mean the one compatible with above firmware and also do I need to do anything with baseband or will it be compatible. After this m ready to enter the custom xperia world :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
Remember to backup your stock rom before unlocking the bootloader as everything will be wiped clear.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundoozzz:
wont I be able to backup after flashing custom kernel and unlocking bootloader..I guess I can.. correct me if I m wrong
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
No, i just meant that backup up your contacts, messages, apps (can be done through astro file manager) etc, before unlocking your bootloader because unlocking will wipe your data.

yup that I know... thanks anyways :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbiao:
I am using Takju 4.1.2, until now have not receive the update notification. Is there any way to trigger it? Or I should just wait?

Thanks everyone. I *KNOW* how to mannual install the OTA, even I can install it by adb sideload. What I want is to get the OTA notification earlier. And this is the method, and it works for me:

1, Go to settings => apps, find the Google Service Framework, and clear it's data and stop it.

2, Go back to system update, you will find that the last check date became to 1970-1-1 or whatever. Chekc again, and you will get the OTA notification. Enjoy it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerys:
Just manually install the OTA zip.

http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip

Step 1.

Reboot your Galaxy Nexus, holding the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons while it boots up. Once you see the fastboot menu and "Start," press Volume Up to navigate to "Recovery" and press the power button. Once you see an Android with a red exclamation point icon, press Volume Up and the Power button together, which will bring you to a new menu. Navigate to "apply update from adb."

Step 2.

Connect your Galaxy Nexus to your computer with a USB cable.

Make sure you have a recent version of adb that supports the sideload command (if you don't, download the latest Android SDK to ensure your adb is up-to-date).

Open up a command prompt (cmd in Windows, regular shell in Linux and Mac) in the same directory as the JOP40C zip file you've downloaded.

Type in the following:

adb sideload e587de13bf8a.signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip

You should see a progress bar, which will eventually hit 100%. At this point, your device is installing the update.

When its done, reboot and enjoy Android 4.2 =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
Reading the stickies in this forum would be helpful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flyer729:
Go to settings, then apps and look for google framework services. Once in there, hit "clear data". Then go back to system update and you'll see that the last date it checked was in 1969. Hit update and the update should come up. It might not work for you, but I did it with mine this morning and now I have the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbiao:
Thanks, already do that, and it works for me too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] langhaardack:
General thougt: If you remove ur simcard it might work better, b/c the phone can't check your carrier for information on where you're from.

The inside of my flip cover is looking kind of dingy from use. Has anyone cleaned theirs yet?

Sent from my Sprint Note II
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] emagdnim082:
I used a nail brush. A suede brush would work too...

I constantly clean mine by hand and flick off or gently roll off pieces that stick. A bit of OCD ha!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rydehard86:
Did you use any detergent? The inside looks dingy from the oil in my skin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] emagdnim082:
I haven't used anything but I am guessing a good way to do that would be remove the cover/backing and with a tiny bit of dish soap and water rubbed in with your fingers, should take out any oil safely. Just make sure to rinse it completely and then dry it with a hair dryer.

I've done this on my couch that is suede and it's worked really well and for really tough oil stains i've used a water and Oxy-Clean solution with a bit of vinegar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
I used a tooth brush and a small amount of dish soap on mine. Air dry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nazninfelix:
You can wipe it off with a baby wipe or a face wipe (any brand of wipes will do ), trust me, it works like wonder. Easy Peasy :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I was just gonna post this. The best are the unscented sensitive baby wipes (I have kids). They clean it right off and your phone doesn't smell like baby powder or whatever other fragrances different wipes use. The armorall car interior wipes work good too but they're kind of pricey and the chemical smell they leave is kind of strong for a day or two.

I like to break stuff! :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronjtroyer:
Hello, I've done some searching around but haven't found a solution to my problem. I am on a stock rom and I'm rooted. I intermittently get Mobile Network Not Available and it will show Searching for Service on the lockscreen. I've already unrooted, reset to factory defaults, flashed the stock rom, tried going in and out of Airplane Mode, and had my SIM card replaced three times. It was working fine after the second SIM replacement but went back to Searching for Service again last night. I am currently using the same SIM in my RAZR Maxx for the time being and having no issues. Verizon said last night they believe it's a receiver problem with the phone and should be warrantied through Samsung. It's not under they're warranty since I didn't buy it from them. I've contacted Samsung for service, is there anything else I should try before sending it in to Samsung?

[HTC One X+] borguesian:
So since the HOX+ has a tegra 3 do we think CM10 and AOKP will eventually be ported?
[HTC One X+] Bishdariel:
I am also interested in this but I think it should be possible, since they are already working on the HTC One X and XL and already have nightly builds.

Or do you think that the quad core is posing any problems to this matter?
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
simple answer is yes, 1st CWM\TWRP are needed so you guys can flash the rom's properly...i will most likely port CM10 if and when i get the device
[HTC One X+] jschramm:
I am getting mine in the mail tomorrow. Is there a root method proven to work on the AT&T model yet?

You should use iLauncher for this rom. And Thans for this new romm

Ya, that's one idea. If you long press the home button the bottom bar shows recent apps, and the volume and music shortcut like iPhone. But ill look into it for sure.

Downloaded and running, seems very quick. Camera cannot select pixel amount ie 8m,6m etc. The radio app turns on Bluetooth when headsets plugged in. The music app good. GPS has a good lock with accuracy, but, didn't try navigation with it. Calendar has I believe chineese characters. In it, but its still usable

Overall great first effort, a iPhone on serious steroids.:D:D:D:D
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Thanks, ya those things I'm looking up to see how I can either remove or change completely the radio, and ya some looming chinese here and there I have to look into getting rid of, all changes going to happen over the next few releases. Overall a stable and almost daily. The cam I may completely replace as well, we'll see.

It's nice to see another Desire HD ROM. I've added it to my list. Good stuff. :good:

Thanks, I wanted to give a little variety from the normal. :P
[Desire HD Android Development] grant8010:
I appreciate adding the modded gapps but still have the car home issue. It still activates my speaker When making a call. In the pic you can see the car home logo at the top of my pic. I just don't understand. I normally use randomblame roms and have no issues. Any ideas on how to keep car home from activating. According to titanium backup car home isn't even on my phone

But other then that my favorite rom so far. I've tried most roms available
[Desire HD Android Development] nj.nikunjjain:
Wow, you great developers make our device younger everyday :) thanks a lot, I'll try this out ASAP
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
My only other suggestion would be to reflash, fully. Install the rom and inspire mod only, then gapps you want from the play separately for now. I apologize about that, Ill try and look deeper into it for the solution.
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Thanks, I'm trying here lol. I've had my Inspire(basically DHD) for almost 2 years now and tried most roms out. I just got bored and wanted to try my luck at making my own and this is what popped out lol. I'll do my best at keeping it up to date and current.
[Desire HD Android Development] LeAnhTuan2505:
I'll make a try

Thanks man!
[Desire HD Android Development] grant8010:
So I reflashed with a clean wipe and did NOT flash gapps.... still car home haha. Well I'm going to put up with it for a week or so so I can use your rom. Maybe something will come up. But great work!! Love it
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
I'll take a look into it for next release.
[Desire HD Android Development] the_unlocker1997:
I flash rom v2.4 then i flash gapps and inspire mod then i boot the rom go through the set up get the usual force close go back into recovery flash the lord bfs kernal then boot the phone back up and set my cpu to 1305 with the smartassv2 and the rom runs great and smooth and i can get about 12 hour battery life with lite to moderate use

Thanks:D will be looking forward to next realese

By the way my screen brightness is set to about 50% manual
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Reworking the rom next update soon.
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Well sir cause I'm learning. I'm working on a dif build. Maybe ics maybe jb that's a surprise. However gb is still one of the most stable build environments. So being a beginner dev only made sense to start there.
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
Nice... what kind of update?

after i install the Inspire mod... everything fine ... just people cant hear me in the call ...???
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
You'll see. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jeffr1996:
Update soon????????? No push. Take your time
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Lol soon as in a day or so. This is a big step if all goes as is. Couple more days gettings things working properly and smooth.
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Idk big guy. Sorry. No worries. Hopefully all this shall be fixed with the update.
[Desire HD Android Development] rustin921:
I like GB in this application, smooth and stable, I would work out all the ROM bugs ie non english language stuff. Then go for the ICS. Imho. Start slow.
[Desire HD Android Development] the_unlocker1997:
I think he should move on whenever he is ready and probably wiil stick to gb filor a while longer but i would not mind a swich to an ics or even jb base but i but its his choice:)

By the way looking forward to next release:D
[Desire HD Android Development] rustin921:
I agree. Can't wait either.:D
[Desire HD Android Development] jeffr1996:
Updates??
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
Can't wait for next update... :) when release?
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
getting closer, just a lot on the to do list for me. testing a build now, a few more things to change and should be good.
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
With a few more tweaks the next build should be up tomorrow.
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
Waiting ....will up at midnight? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Uploading new build now. Don't be dissapointed with the launcher. Had some issues with it going under strict scrutiny. If you want ilauncher, unfortunately, buy it i had to until i rework joylauncher and find a free or work a themed weather app just the same. But smoothed out most of our issue. Update in an hour or so.
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
Erm... may i ask u about what issue still have?
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Nothing so far. Everything is working. Just some theme stuff I want to work on for a small update over the weekend.

[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
I think its within the kernel for inspire users. If someone on dhd can confirm wether or not the mic is working in calls for, same if your on inspire. I fixed the inspire side. Dhd users lemme know. Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
still got mic in call issue for desire hd ???
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
I had it on my inspire using the new kernel. I dont know if its doing it on Desire so lemme know when ya get a chance.
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
i am trying now ...let u know later
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Thanks man. If its fine ill leave the dhd rom alone and mod the inspire side. If not, ill update it tonight.
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:

1.noisy sound

2.call issues
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Describe a little better. Call issues as in? Noisy sound just loud?
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
sry ... the call issue i haven't try...

but the sound issue is like last time that i told u one ...
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
How did you fix last time?
[Desire HD Android Development] grandcity89:
i got no idea about that ....maybe u can try to look back the DroidianRage v1.4.1...because there is no problem with my DHD
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Ill look at it more when i get home.
[Desire HD Android Development] rustin921:
Wow, best effort yet. You fixed the clear key in the notificaton area. Imo I like the original launcher, wasn't into the ilauncher. Will post more later as soon as I restore my apps etc.
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
ya im working the old calendar soon :P that will look nice But of course my main concern is stability and things like the mic not in calls working lol I had that problem earlier. I changed to a dif kernel for my test build during the day and it fixed it, so I have the Inspire working. So gonna drop a small release at least with the kernel updated. then of course get back to the calendar.
[Desire HD Android Development] rustin921:
Seems to be a issue with google calendar sync in the accounts sync> google it says error when trying to sync... small bug tho.
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
Incall audio working for ya rust? like mic and what not
[Desire HD Android Development] rustin921:
No, after you posted I made a call they could not hear me. I reflashed lords kernel as posted in last updated, and reflashed inspire mod, all good now prob with inbedded kernel.
