This was again caused by a low memory condition in combination with a CM10 bug.

The next (test) release will have a fix for this.

Please keep reporting these issues.

There are several Sony keyboards out there, ready to be installed. Unfortunately I couldn't find the keyboard for the Mini Pro, and I didn't succeed to install the apk I extracted from the original ROM ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] robbayani:
how to reduced again screen brightness?? i already set to minimum, but still bright for me..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Look into System settings > Display > Automatic backlight > Screen dim level / Edit other levels ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
There is a new test release available that should fix the button backlight and brightness reboot.

Please share your experience.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The button backlights of iyokan are useless battery users IMHO.

(iyokan has hardware buttons, which are easy to feel in the dark)

In previous releases I disabled it, but in the latest releases not anymore to let you choose yourself.

See here for how I disable the button backlights (it survives new ROM installations).

A little tip for an interesting app: GTalkSMS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
50+ downloads and zero feedback, thanks ...

The reboot with automatic brightness enabled and having the device in either daylight or below a lamp still exists for me, nothing changed with today's test version.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I still cannot reproduce it :(

To be sure: did you flash the ROM and kernel of the today test release?

What device are you using? You might have said that ealier, but I don't know anymore.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soda_47:
Hi all.

I would like to have the Xperia four corners launcher on this amazing rom. I already tried a bunch a apks but none of it worked. I saw similar question: but the solution given is not working for me.

So does anyone have a compatible version of xperia 4 corners launcher with CM10? Or maybe someone can explain to me how to mod launcher to make it work on CM10. I see two possibilities:

- mod mini launcher to install on CM10

- mod Xperia Z/GX launcher to add corners as it already works with CM 10

I don't know what's easiest?

Thanks

Yes I did extract the boot.img from the ZIP and flashed it with fastboot via Windows command-line. Afterwards booted in recovery-mode and installed cm-10-20130413-UNOFFICIAL-mango.zip. But I didn't wipe anything, since you wrote this isn't needed. What I wondered about is that the extracted boot.img has a date from 28.02.2008? Already noticed that in the previous release, but thought it's just a wrong date, but it doesn't matter.

I should have the same device as you I think, it's always in my signature, Sony Xperia Mini Pro (mango). In the "about the phone" section of the settings I can also see that it's really using today's kernel, 2.6.32.60-nAa-01 M66B@iof303 #1 Sat Apr 13 02:30:06 is written there. Let me know if I can provide any further information that might help.

Oh just another "problem" I have: I uninstalled the GooManager several days ago, but it's still running and still shows up within my "installed apps" in Google Play. And if I click on it, there's just the "open" button left, the "uninstall" button isn't available anymore. How else can I really remove this app now?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Micha_Btz:
for me works http://boekenhuis.net/xperia/xperia_s_home.html this one
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
boot.img in the zip will always have the date 28.02.2008, this is normal.

I have a mango too and I don't have this problem.

If you did change one of the values in System settings > Display > Automatic brightness, please list all values here.

Did you install any 'improvement' script?

GooManager is part of the ROM. If you want to remove it, you can do that for example with Titanium backup.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soda_47:
Doesn't work for me.

I followed instructions: flash the unistaller then reboot and install. But the apk won't install. I also tried to push it to system/app with proprer permissions but no luck :/.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
That's weird because I tried the same thing on a clean build on 2 mangos and I didn't have any reports of reboots :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Your avatar says it all ;)

Edit: the test build is with the latest CM10 overlay reverted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tobi24:
I don't understand it as well, but here we at least have a second user with the same problem: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40217592&postcount=2041

I think I activated "allow light decrease" some day (several releases before the recent one) because automatic brightness never really worked for me and I wanted to see if the screen reduces the brightness in a dark room that way. Maybe I also increased the "Sample interval" to 2s - I don't remember what the default time was. Here are screenshots from all my settings:

I just found out now that it seems like this slider also has an influence: If I move it completely to the left (lowest brightness settings) before switching "Automatic brightness" on, the phone does not reboot in bright light. But as soon as I move this slider more towards the middle before turning "Automatic brightness" on, the phone reboots as soon as it sees daylight or a lamp.

I'm a noob regarding smartphones and android (just started using one this year), I neither know what kind of 'improvement scripts' exist nor how to install them :D I'm happy that I managed to root the device and learned how to flash a kernel and ROM now ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Micha_Btz:
hm, with my own build, just different in without openproid and remove and add some apps, i have a strange behavior.

for some reasons, i wont to try a clean install. so i do a factory reset and wipe the cache data. normally all partitions should be empty now, or?

than cyanogenmod still boots?

restore and backup works
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Could you please do 'Load defaults' and 'Save & Apply' and let me know if you still have reboots?

Do you use any app to control brightness?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
If you wipe everything, but never system, then CyanogenMod will start.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tobi24:
I think THAT'S IT!!!

But as far as I know I never changed something there though and I'm even sure I clicked on "Load defaults" in an earlier release in order to see if there might be some wrong values, cause auto-brightness never worked for me... But it seems like this has resolved the reboot-issue now! Thanks's a lot! I'm away now for some time, but can come back to check the forum later at night, in case there's something else... (never used an app to control brightness btw.)

Edit: The only thing I used before (while using manual brightness) was this integrated feature to adjust the brightness-level by swiping left and right directly on top of the screen, without having to open any settings or app .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gi11i4m:
Hi!

Does the camera preview work in the latest version? Because once it doesn't work on my phone, my experience is that it won't work again until I reset the phone with sony software, re-unlock it, and reflash a ROM where it does work.

Also, your ROM is awesome, but could you maybe integrate Google Ears / Sound Search in the ROM? It's unavailable in my country, and I'd rather use the music recognizing service from Google :p.

Greetings!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
For the people struggling with MTP under Ubuntu: this works (meaning that it will work in Ubuntu 13.04 too).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tobi24:
For me it works well, photo and video-mode...

IMHO it's not the best to integrate everything into the ROM by default, please check out if this works for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2198102
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark69Slayer:
Is it necessary for me to use this kernel itself?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The ROM is based on CyanogenMod and will only include the CyanogenMod apps.

The only two additions are PDroidManager and GooManager.

Stock features certainly won't go into the ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
To use some of the extra settings you'll need to flash the kernel in the ROM zip.

If you use another CM-based kernel, most things will probably work.

A new FXP215 based release is underway for all four devices.

This is mainly a bug fix release.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] robbayani:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I don't maintain a detailed changelog anymore, but you can follow all changes here.

Look back in the forum to see the changes of the test releases of this week and the week before and you'll have an idea about what has been changed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
For the iyokan owners having video/camera troubles: there will be a test release available soon, which fixes these issues.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sparksys:
Can you please tell me what is "ALS tune" ? I saw it in the changelog of FXP 215 :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
It means that the auto brightness levels were adjusted.

Yes and yes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daniel_m:
Great, I messed up my phone again :(

I downloaded the latest release and used IZArc command line (only Windows tool that didn't complain about duplicate Linux filenames) to delete apps from the system directory, before I installed the zip in CWM. The phone booted and "optimized" apps, and then it did not respond any more. A hard reset ended up in the CM boot logo and nothing else.

No problem, thought a naive me, and installed the un-modified zip. Everything went well, until the desktop popped up ... completely empty! :crying:

My apps and data and everything still seems to be there, but the desktop looks like a virgin. Is there a config file that contains all desktop links/widgets positions, so that I can copy it to my system from a backup?

(Sorry for the following outbreak: I f***ing hate that Android is so stubborn and unmanageable!)

Edit: I made sure that the modified zip still contained the duplicate files (e.g. filename_a and filename_A).

Edit 2: Found the Trebuchet database and copied it back from a backup. Only widgets are missing, but that's OK.

I would still like to know what went wrong with the app deletion in the zip file ...

... and why I get "Android introduction tips" like "organize folders on your desktop ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samajid:

Can you add emoticons to SYM key?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
He already knows that he has done something clumsy and he is not happy about it for sure, no need to be unfriendly.

Emoticons are not supported by CM and it is too much work to make it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daniel_m:
Smart suggestion ... but if you read my post again, more carefully, you will find that I already took care of that and made use of CWM's backup function ... :eek: ;)

Edit: Looks like my writing skills are not as good as M66B's ... at least speed-wise :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] velikimeda:

CM not supported emoticon images or emoticons simbol? I realy hate to use menu key + insert emoticon....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daniel_m:
Sorry for being so snappy, sometimes I loose my temper.

In the hope of not being too off-topic, how can I (on my Windows PC) delete system apps from a zipped ROM file, so that I can install the ROM in CWM afterwards? I found a nice app (APK Swapper) on XDA, but it uses 7zip and it does exactly what I feared, it ignored files with the same filename but different capitalization. I didn't even try to install the ROM it produced ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mauam:
I hope you're not f*cking with me:laugh: See the image,just open the .zip (double click on the zip, not "extract") go to system-app & then select the desired apk & click on delete button. I do that everytime, before flash the rom, cause I don't need some apks. BTW I use winrar.

using cm-10-20130414-UNOFFICIAL-iyokan.zip

The thing is, auto brightness still doesn't dim. if I shone a torch on the sensor, the screen brightness increase. Then, covering the sensor, screen brightness still remains bright.

Auto-brightness custom levels is showing the changes. But it is not dimming the screen. Kernel, talking problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
iyokan is my main phone and it works for me.

Try 'Load defaults' and 'Save & Apply' in 'Edit other levels ...'.

- Enabled: yes

- Window length: 2 s

- Reset threshold: 400 lux

- Sample interval: 2 s

Light levels:

- Use custom: yes

- Screen dim level: 10

- Edit other levels: default will work, but I use 0-14: 10, 15-74: 20, 75-99: 30, 100-419: 40

- Allow light decrease: yes

- Decrease hysteresis: 10%

Is there another 0414 release which I don't see or why is goo manager notifying me about a new update all the time? :$ it can't recognize the rom itself just the fact that I didn't download it yet? (Because now I downloaded via my PC and transferred to the sdcard.)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gi11i4m:
Okay so I really have a problem. Normally the camera preview should work in the latest version, right? But with me, it doesn't. Even when I factory reset the phone three times (also wiping dalvik cache) while updating, the camera preview doesn't work.

Also, I think changes from the changelog (such as automatic brightness) also don't work, while they should be fixed.

Normally I just flash the boot.img with fastboot, and then flash the ROM and Gapps in recovery, but as I said I also did some factory resets this time. Still nothing.

Might there be any way to completely remove the ROM and reïnstall it? Cause I love updates and install them right away, but I feel like I don't really get the updates so it doesn't matter..

Greetz!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] inkanyamba:
I, too, flashed the latest release (0414) on my Mango. Enabling automatic brightness prompted an immediate reboot. I then used M66B's ALS settings and everything seems to be working now.

A thing that's been bothering me since a couple of weeks now is that each time a get back to a known WiFi hotspot, it doesn't connect automatically. When I go to WiFi settings, I see the known SSID with "Disabled" displayed underneath. I have to manually click on it and manually connect for it to work. Each time. Apart that, I'm also getting a very subjective feeling of lagginess, but I cannot quite put my finger on it.

Anyway, great work as always, M66B!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ghuntar WALDMEISTER:
Hi,

It seems I've made something a little stupid. I backed up everything with TWRP before upgrading (yes it's been some time I did not update). And now that I updated to the last version, I just cannot restore through CWM... (And I think I have missed some game saves, nothing really important but if I can have them back, it would be cool)

The question is : What if I re flash the last kernel with TWRP ? Shall I be able to recover ? And which is this last version if it can be downloaded ?

Ghuntar.

You already said it

Flash a kernel with twrp, restore, and then backup with CWM
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
This is not a safe thing to do, the current brightness is the same as stock sony roms. You risk burning the leds if you increase the current
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sparksys:
Is this safe thing to do ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ghuntar WALDMEISTER:
Yep, and the additional question was : Which one ? I can not clearly find when (or what kernel version) M66B switched back to CWM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
Of course, you can modify the settings to suit your needs

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Hi.

Is someone building the rom itself? After a while of abstinence I was updating my repo and the script... THere changed alot. I made a build from a previous build and

now I made a "make clean all" and rebuild, but both cause my kernel to be 7.4MB (previous builds had <7MB) I thought ok maybe it's the nAa modifications... but the kernel does not boot. It stops BEFORE boot logo. Does someone have this problem,too?

device is mango.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Yes, a lot has been changed ;)

Try to delete the complete out folder to do a fresh build. The boot loader problem has been solved some time ago, so there must be another problem, probably some old files somewhere.

Are you aware that I build for four devices now?

(thanks to access to goo.im)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ghuntar WALDMEISTER:
Yeah, this new version (20130414) is really fast (at least compare to the January version).

I have only a few things to note :

- The "Stretch screen" option in Trebuchet home screen works on the opposite as it should (or maybe a bad French translation mislead the user). I mean, when the option is enabled, the "grid spacing" shrink in a way the icons do not cover the dock or search bar.

- The long press on the dashboard (home screen) sometime fails, as well as the menu button : Pressing the Home button ("resetting" Trebuchet) makes everything OK.

I have a quick question (for M66B or for someone else who knows how this works): how do you go about changing the set of symbols/characters that are displayed upon long pressing a key on the hardware keyboard? I have no problem doing this myself, but I have yet to find where I should do it. I know how to change the keyboard layout and the symbols that appear when pressing a key or a combination of keys on the hardware keyboard but, unfortunately, this is not what I'm looking for.

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Please provide a logcat and/or last log.

I have already explained several times in this thread how to, so please read back if this is a question.

At least one reboot is required to detect that there is no pin code set.

Did you flash the kernel and ROM?

Try using the values I suggested earlier and update to the latest test version.

This is the whole reason why I have removed TWRP: the backups are not complete, because .android_secure (apps moved to the sdcard) isn't backed up. See also the FAQ.
