I like to have fixed this, since it is one of the core functions of the device.

Could you please describe in detail the problem?

A logcat may be helpful too.

Did you try to toggle data on/of?

Did you try switching between 2G/3G?

Did you install both the extended kernel and extended ROM?

Which version?

Do you have this problem with the extended kernel and the FXP ROM too?

I am building a version without PDroid now, if it is ready I will upload and publish it, so we know if PDroid is causing this or not (PDroid is the only thing I can think of that could cause this problem).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I will look into this, but it is not my highest priority.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cserpentis:
Sorry for being so brief before. I will provide a logcat as soon as I get to my laptop at home.

I have extended kernel and ROM 152, the one released on 25 of December. I have not tried flashing vanilla FXP (just flashed the ROM this afternoon during a lunch break).

I've tried toggling data, toggling airplane mode, rebooting the device, downloading and putting alternative APN list suggested in this topic before, defining an APN manually, and yet, to no avail.

I'd be glad to test the version without PDroid and provide logs to find out what is causing this. (as I see it, some are affected by this bug, some are not and so far I cannot see any connection between carriers).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
No need for 'sorry'.

We will fix this somehow.

Could you please try first with extended kernel and vanilla FXP152?

Then I know if we have to search in the kernel or in the ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lokas0:
With the latest kernel with linaro 4.7.3 and the FXP extended rom by you 152 released on 22 december theres is no data network problem im currently using it as you can see.. with the FXP 152 released on christmas this bug exists as far as i can see is the rom and NOT the kernel i hope my answer can help you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
So, there seems to be something wrong in 25 December build. I did not change anything more to the sources, so let's hope it is a build problem and not a new CM problem.

What I will do is a complete rebuild with PDroid and remove the 25 December build from the extended ROM page.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lokas0:
Nice decision luck on your work and btw i dont know how i entered in a called safe mode?? it booted like that after i flashed the modules of linaro 4.7.3 didnt knew the existance of this "safe mode" any conclusion of how this happened??

PD: All the installed apps were gone in this state except the stock ones all widgets off and wifi and data worked .. something knew for me :3
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dhallbhoo:
just want to add some comment sir..

when my friend ( smartid and thanks to him for the information ) instal ur latest extended rom and kernel, he had problem with the data plan ( he had post to this thread in the previous post )

but when he change only the rom ( cm10 fxp152+latest extended kernel ) the problem is gone.

so maybe there is something wrong with 25 december rom build ( just like was u said )

i hope this little information will help u.

Note: i use ur extended rom and kernel 22december build, and the data plan just go with normal condition.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I don't know what you mean by "safe mode", could you please explain in more detail?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...."safe mode" happen when the phone fails to load the kernel properly....you will get/see "safe mode" on the bottom left of your screen...when "safe mode" is appears, then most of the apps will not works....to exit this "safe mode" is to shutdown your phone and let it of 10-15 seconds before you turn it on agains....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lokas0:
After i booted from flashing the modules it booted as "safe mode" it appared a little text dialog in the left corner saying safe mode and some functions were disabled and others were functional like the apps i installed with the play store were gone also widgets dissapeared but data network was enabled i never saw something like that before and i didnt even know how it happened :S
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
While developing the extended kernel I have started a new kernel so many times and never had this. Only that the kernel wouldn't boot at all, mostly because of the infamous bootloader bug. BTW, I never flash a kernel before I know if it works. That is the difference between:

fastboot boot boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

If the kernel boots, I reboot from recovery and flash the kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Well..."safe mode" usually appears if your phone didn't reboot/shutdown properly....since i use your Extended Roms + Kernel, i only encounter one time "safe mode" on my phone :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dhallbhoo:
Information

ive just instal ur extended linaro kernel 25december build, but i still use ur extended rom 22december build, and the data plan is working fine. 2G, 3G, and 2G/3G toggles just work normal.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sema-sv:
wifi is not working on the kernel for linaro smultron.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lokas0:
Did you flashed the modules? Thats a common problem when modules are not flashed when you flash the kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mauam:
Are you sure you flash the right rom & kernel? Xtended rom from M66B is for xperia mini pro(mango) not xperia mini(smultron).

I use the Xtended rom from M66B compiled for our smultron by nussbaum & everything works.

Here the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?qt57hm7jfpuec
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sema-sv:
where to get the modules? Give please.

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

I use this rom

CM10-Xtended ROM for Sony Xperia ST15i Smultron

cmXtended_Smultron_build_7.1

and this is the core

CM10_FXP152_boot.img_smultron_linaro_4.7.3_20121225
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihaum:
I can confirm the data problem - switched back to the 22.12 build and everything works fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The fresh new build is ready, but unfortunately Dev-Host says at this moment:

"File uploads temporarily disabled."

So, we have to have patience until tomorrow.

Meanwhile I will test the new kernel and ROM.

To prepare everybody: the new kernel will not allow adb by root default anymore (this is a CM change and it is better for security).

You can allow adb root access in the development options.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] souzadriano:
It's working for me. I installed Kernel and ROM by nussbaum.

My issues are random reboots with hard use and the automatic brightness is not working.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
@M66B.....

just one questions or a request....can you add ServiceMenu.apk back into CM10???

ServiceMenu is quite important for user....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Release

I have just uploaded the fresh build ROM and kernel as promised.

Hopefully the data problem that some of you experienced has been solved now.

Please report.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The service menu is not part of CM too for good reasons.

For the same reasons I will not add it.

Nice text color, isn't it?

It is as readable as your bold font. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihaum:
Ok, mobile data works for me fine now. Was it built with Linaro? Maybe it is because of not long from the installation but it seems that the performance of the menu and drawer was decreased.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Thanks for your report!

Like before the kernel is built with Linaro, but the ROM isn't.

Actually nothing has been changed, except that I have completely rebuilt the ROM and kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Slowness could be caused by using zRAM or KSM, so try to disable these if you have enabled these. I don't have these kind of slowness problems (only with an experimental bfs kernel).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The next release will improve memory usage a little, but don't expect wonders.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Yes, see the list of changes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daniel_m:
Yes, especially zRam causes huge slow-downs. And I still have to test out if FXP 151 reboots under heavy load. 150 was very stable, but it still rebooted after long sessions of playing Efloria ...

Oh, and I also seem to have problems with the display brightness now. I don't know if it came up in FXP 151 or if it is a problem with M66B's modifications. The screen is very dark after a fresh boot and even the maximum brightness is low. I have to activate automatic brightness, and deactivate it again. Only doing so will return the maximum brightness to normal values.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Yes, automatic brightness isn't perfect.

If you want to disable it, see the instructions on the extended ROM page.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
I have completely remved browser.apk from system/app folder. Installed firefox, and guess what i have solved annoying popup browser windows coming from games like social gaming etc. (they use the default browser apk :D) I have in my system/app folder just 39 apk's :D Rom is fast like hell :). Also dont enable KSM and the next option to it (don't remember the name) but sm.th like releasing resources to reduce ram usage. In fact i noticed that RAM is increased with that :). In Antutu i get 6900 cca @ 1.4 Ghz; deadline; smartassV2. With performance governor is 7050 :). Don't know about youtube, i haven't tried with long videos, just short ones like 5 mins max, and i get no reboots :). GPS works fine, although in maps the direction goes like crazy, it always rotates. Battery usage is coming really good, in one day i have 40 %.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
@M66B.....

is there by any chances your Extended Roms next release you can included Rom Control from AOKP??? it would be nice if you can make it compatible with your Extended Roms....also please included ThemesChooser.apk and ThemesManager.apk from HERE so we can use HDPI/XHDPI themes on MDPI...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Sorry, no, because my goal is to stay as close as possible to the FXP ROM/kernel.

It is not really a new ROM/kernel, just an extended version of the FXP ROM/kernel.

Edit: maybe it is my taste, but I don't like your bold and red. IMHO it makes your texts not more readable, on the contrary.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] raz0r1991:
Hey m66b, the rom is very slow, can you make any tweak to improve the response ? any tasks delays seconds to conclude, including listen music, open menu, contacts, etc.

I think the rom is only concerned " not every day usage" because the poor performance.

But good work at all, your improvements are impressive.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
As said before, I and some others don't have this problem.

If you have zRAM or KSM enabled, disable it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] raz0r1991:
Using stock settings, its impossible you and the others doesnt get this problem because the rom is the same, just the way we use it, is different maybe thats the problem...

I use the phone for normal tasks like calls, messages, whatsapp and listen music almost all day, and the music is lagging too much..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
I hope that i am not offtopic, but wanted to swap from system partition and used this script, which isn't working:

# Swap On System partition,
if busybox [ ! -f /system/swap/swapfile.swp ]
then
mkdir /system/swap;
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/system/swap/swapfile.swp bs=1M count=100;
busybox mkswap /system/swap/swapfile.swp;
busybox chmod 0600 /system/swap/swapfile.swp;
else
echo "Swapfile Exist";
fi
busybox mknod -m640 /dev/block/loop51 b 7 51;
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop51 /system/swap/swapfile.swp;
busybox swapon /dev/block/loop51;
echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;

Can anyone tell me why is not being created the swap file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Probably because /system is not writable.

Try one of the swap apps from the Play Store instead of using a script.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Curtis7990:
I don't use zRam or KSM, but how to check it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
System settings > Performance > Memory management

(disable first and last option and please let me know if one was enabled)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Curtis7990:
i tested it, but i have to say that smoothness and speed of my phone, wasn't due to the kernel, i guess is CM10 that is really optimized! So every kernel and every ROM based on CM10, shuold give you about same performace

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Don't know how but i had KSM activated :\, now i reboot my phone and try if it's better, thanks :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
Yes i understand, but how can i load the system partition in RW mode before this. The problem is that swapper for example doesn't do this on system partiton, but on the SD card rather. I'm gonna google on it now :). I have 170 Mb free in system partition :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

But check if system is mounted on mtdblock0 first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
yepp, it's perfectly working :) I am swapping from system now :) with cca 100 Mb of swap file. Thanks M66B So this is the entire script:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system;
if busybox [ ! -f /system/swap/swapfile.swp ]
then
mkdir /system/swap;
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/system/swap/swapfile.swp bs=1M count=100;
busybox mkswap /system/swap/swapfile.swp;
busybox chmod 0600 /system/swap/swapfile.swp;

echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;

Gonna post feedback soon :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Curtis7990:
How can you have all of that free mb in system? I have just 40mb xD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I have updated the start post with some more information.

If anybody has questions about it or if I should add something, please let me know.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] singh_dd93:
can you plz make a zip of all the latest patches.

I can't download all the patches individually.(Having a bad internet)

All patches are dated either 27 dec or 28 dec and last zip was 25 dec
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I will do that tonight (MET), since I am at my work right now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihaum:
Now I am confused. The kernel included in the latest ROM was build using Linaro or should I download the kernel and modules separately?

PS. I used the kernel included in the zip.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
The ZIP contains the latest kernel and modules.

The modules are part of the ROM.

I provide the kernel and modules separately for people that only want to use the kernel and modules.

@M66B:

Please update http://www.faircode.eu/freexperia/patches/CMunified/readme.txt

@ all selfbuilders:

update.sh syntax changed, do not add "CM10", it will set 'device=CM10' (and refuse to compile of course)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
What exactly should be changed to readme.txt?

I will soon change update.sh to work for all devices instead for a specific device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nussbaum:
In fact you did already change the script, but not the readme.txt

please change at least

"4b. Run the command: sh /path/to/update.sh CM10"

to

"4b. Run the command: sh /path/to/update.sh DEVICE

(DEVICE=mango or smultron etc.)"

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

I have just uploaded the corresponding smultron build. (see my signature)

Automatic brightness should work now, if you still have problems to set the level, try this:

Switch off auto brightness,

Set desired brightness level (i use about one third),

Press OK,

Go back to brightness settings and switch on auto brightness

OK again
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Thanks, it is already changed.

GPS Problem

According to me there are problems with the GPS using CM10 FXP152 and also to the relative extend versions.

With both 152 versions GPS employs more than 10 minutes to find my position, with CM10 FXP151 GPS find my position in 30 second (more or less).

I test it using BackPackTrack because google maps remains on search of position until timeout.

I would add that at every change of rom I always deleted Data cache and Dalvik cache and i test it with and without data connection to exclude possible agps differences between the two version

@M66B:reading the posts in the past days I always had the impression that there were two different problems
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] moezaka:
so, a lil request in here :)

so far am really liking were jb rom's are heading the last couple of weeks with this gr8 fixes all around , and i do know about the whole drivers not released build from almost scratch , but ... isn't there any fix for the front camera video calling like skype, i know fxp barely got it working but i'd love it if yet another bug is fully solved :) , and ya it's not working for facelock too but i don't really care about that as much as skyping.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gdeliana:
front camer with skype works perfectly, tested it just now for you exclusively, perfect image quality. Skype 3 for android. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] moezaka:
hmmpph , well , i guess i'll give it another try , thanks a bunch though for confirming it's working :), guess jb is more than stable enough for daily usage now :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Maybe you should not wipe the caches.

A cold fix will take some time (when no previous data is available), 10 minutes is no exception. After that a fix should be much faster, when having enough satellites in view, in about 10-15 seconds or even faster. Nevertheless I will check and monitor this, because the GPS is important to me.

For people having random reboots, please send me the output of

cat /proc/last_kmsg

Also tell if you had a reboot or restart.

A reboot is characterized by seeing the boot logo.

In case of an Android restart, send me a logcat instead:

adb logcat

Check if the logs do not contain sensitive information.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
@M66B....

your latest build seems to runs smoothly...no more lockup in lockscreen...

Great Work My Friends...Keep It Up!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skygio99:
@M66B:

I just updated my ST15 from FXP151 to cm-10-20121227-UNOFFICIAL-smultron by nussbaum without wipe any cache and GPS seems to work well.

Now i want to do other tests. Thanks for the suggestion :good:

A confirmation: I checked the gsp.conf, have you reactivated the AGPS ?

I really like this version.

@nussbaum:

Great job, thanks. Unfortunately the problem with brightness level at startup is returned, is a minimum problem but it 's hard to die :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Yes, I have re-activated aGPS, see some posts back why and how you can disabled it again.

Regarding the brightness: see the extended page for how to disabled it.

@nussbaum: maybe you should build without reduced brightness (I do not know if you did) or provide a CWM recovery ZIP to undo it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rapunzel11:
I own my XPM now for a couple of days. And i've to say what a great mobile. Before that i owned a Xperia X10 mini for over two years. I like this "Mini's" because they fit in every pocket.

I'm very impressed how much custom roms for the Xperia Mini are there. One big "Thank you" to all the developers.

But BTT. I've installed this Rom: https://sites.google.com/site/cm10xtendedrom/ and I'm very happy with that. It is stable and very smooth. And battery drain is not much more than under ICS stock Rom. But I've noticed that notification LED doesn't work properly.

Is that a known Bug? I solved this by installing "Light flow, Light" from the Playstore. But are there better ways to solve this problem? Without an App?

Sorry for that bad english grammar. It's school english...not realy practice for daily use.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mauam:
You're using Hikari's rom(22/12/2012),try this one from nussbaum(27/12/2012). I'm using rom from nussbaum & everything works:)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nussbaum:
I had both als and reduced brightness enabled in update.sh, but still got a build with all zeros in hw_config.sh/als. Thats why i included Hikaris hw_config.sh before upload.

In the next few days i will start a homepage for my build, with some optional zips and tweaks i use.

Which kernel file do you use? That one was included in the download file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arif41:
Can u add a2sd , swap and other like on minicm10 by nAa ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Sorry, no, because the goal is to stay as close as possible to the FXP kernel/ROM.

Swap is however supported by the FXP kernel as far as I know.

And maybe a2sd will work too, all file system modules are present.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] novicebg:
Are the frames of the browser still jumping around the page on some sites?

How is the battery drain? And how does the rom behave compared to CM9? Is it good for daily use?
