Yes, you can. Go to CWM and start rom instalation from begining, but wipe ONLY cache partition and dalwik cache, nothing else. Then select what ever you want in Aroma installer and reboot your phone. When phone starts, you will have all your installed apps, your wifi settings, phone contacts, etc. - everything will be there. And read careful all choices in installer, and don't select format system in it, just wipe dalvik and cache partition.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
And he's gonna end up with one nice bricked phone, stuck on Sony logo. I have tried this, and ended up with a bricked phone. I even tried it with a ROM that the developer said that we don't have to format system and such from CWM, that it will be done with Aroma. Well, both times, I ended up stuck on Sony logo. It's better not to mess up with this thing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Code SyGma:
How's gaming performance? Recommended kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
First thing - bricked phone means something else, not bootlooping Sony logo, and i done this my self several times with different roms and never got bootloop. I already explain process, i have nothing more to say, worked for me every time, never had problem.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

I can't tell you about gaming, i don't play games, but i can recommend Kappa 1.6 kernel, everything is working nice with it. Also, i use Stock Extended kernel and it's very good for battery, but i think it's not good choice for gaming, because is stock kernel with cwm and root, and that's pretty much it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
There's a difference between soft brick and hard brick. A phone that doesn't boot and stays stuck on Sony logo is a brick. And since this person has a lww, like me, and I have been through this with two different ROMs, I say the best thing is to wait until the next update, when he will have to full wipe no matter what.

Btw I never mentioned a bootloop, better read more carefully the next time. I said that it stays stuck on Sony logo. It doesn't keep booting up endlessly, it just stays there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
Ok, since we have different experiences on this matter, i think best thing he can do is make backup then try it for him self and see if everything will be ok. If not, he will just have to restore everything and nothing will be lost. And pops25, if you do it, please report and let us know what happened.

I done this before and always worked. My phone is Xperia Mini and i don't think this matter, but anything is possible.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
Still, it's very frustrating for someone(especially someone who's not experienced) to end up stuck on Sony logo. I could not restore my phone with anything after this (Sony Ericsson Update Service, PC Companion, flashing stock .587). I had to flash the original firmware, the 400 MB one, to fix it, and then I had to go the same process of rooting and installing CWM again, which is very time-consuming for someone that just wanted to change a launcher. :eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
OMG, what are you talking about? That will never happened because of things i explained. It looks like you choose wrong device in Aroma installer and that can be frustrating and may damage touch screen.

You simply make system backup from CWM, and if for some reason you end up with broken rom, just go back in CWM and restore your rom. So, you need to make backup first. From your story, it's clear you didn't done that. And if you get stuck on Sony logo, just pull out phone battery for a 10 or so seconds, put it back, and turn on phone. On logo, just enter CWM and do restore.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
Look, I'm trying to be as civil as possible. I have some experience, I know how to choose the right device for me (and in case you missed that, I said that this has happened to me twice, with different ROMs, when I followed some advice not to full wipe). And no, when the phone is stuck on Sony logo you can't enter CWM. You can't really do anything, and I did try everything. I did a back-up (since you say that I didn't, but then how the hell did I manage to restore my back-up huh? Jesus!) which I did manage to restore when I un-bricked my phone.

Btw, I would really like to know where you saw that I clearly did not make a back-up. Exactly where did you see that, in my story?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
Well, if you read my post careful (and i apologize for bad english, not my native) you can see that i wrote i did dirty install several times and always went good. But this can be done only if you do it with same rom, not with two different ones. Dirty install is good only in that case, so it's convenient for choosing different options in Aroma installer, and only for that. But, when i'm going to install new rom on my phone, i always go with clean install because is right thing to do.

And when you turn on phone and Sony logo appears, if you get signal for CWM entry, it will enter CWM, no metter is rom broken or not. That is because CWM is related to installed kernel not rom. So, if you got your self in situation that you can't enter CWM, you just flash some custom kernel with CWM built in and you will have access to it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
Firstly, I don't know what you mean by "signal for CWM entry", but if you're referring to the screen lighting up a little bit (when you normally have to press down volume button to enter CWM), then no, there is no such thing. The screen just shows the Sony logo without any change. But even without it, I tried several times to enter CWM (since I more or less remember exactly when I have to press the button to enter CWM) and nothing happened.

Next, remember that not all people have unlocked bootloaders. Mine is still locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
Well, finally i can agree with you in something, yes, i was talking about my unlocked bootloader, and i didn't saw you mentioned before yours is locked. I unlocked my bootloader and i can only encourage you to do the same, unless you're phone is still under warranty, cause it will no longer be usable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
I can't.... I tried all methods mentioned in this forum and nothing seems to work. But, I used to own a Sony Xperia X8 a year ago and I did unlock it and had a custom kernel, and I saw no big differences, so I don't think I'm going to do the extra effort of unlocking this one too. But that's an entirely another subject ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
Have you checked if your bootloader can be unlocked? It's easy to check, just enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu then go to: Service info / Configuration / Rooting Status. There you will find line that says: Bootloader unlock allowed: yes (or no). If says "ÿes", your bootloader can be unlocked. Then you can unlocked it with Sony official unlock code, i did it like that. Then you save unlock code, because you can use it many times, it won't expire or something. It's very easy to again lock it if you want. For example, i locked mine because i installed GB stock rom on my phone, version .62 and i wanted to upgrade it to official version .84 and you can do it only with locked bootloader. I locked it and upgrade my phone. Locking is 3 seconds job. You just have to flash one small file with flashtool and your bootloader will be locked again. If you want, i can send you that file. And if you want to unlock your bootloader (but only if can be unlocked), here is link for official method from Sony:

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

I'm unlocking my phone with SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6.

And i am very sorry for this off topic, but it's only one post, i know Saqib won't mind :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
Yeees, I have done all of that, it can be unlocked, I tried with the code and everything. I think it had something to do with ADB files installed on my pc, but I didn't really care to look into it further since so far I don't really need it. I am thinking of doing it in the near future to install one of those Jelly Bean ROMs...

in the first post, i'ts written that the phone's gotta be running .587, but, in my case, i'm running .431, unlock bl. can i flash it anyway?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Naprzod:
Try... If you get bootloop, flash .587 and then the rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aligh9:
Thanks for the great rom.

Butttttttttt

I'm facing an ugly and nasty error opening walkman player. It says unfortunately blah blah blah. Please help I don't want to change the great Rom :)

I tried to clear data of walkman application but the same error still appears

Love you all:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vicky26:
Using a system browser like Root Browser or Root Explorer go to system/app and delete SemcDlna.apk.

This is completely safe, nothing will be lost, only the nasty error message :highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aligh9:
Thanks but that's did not work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mankotialovely:
Try this one-

Disable " Devices " in settings>apps>all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pops25:
Thanks for this but I don't change launcher becouse I like this one. I have unlocking bootloaders.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jonas38:
You can also try this: Xperia Z Walkman Port

That's the player I'm using with this great ROM :good:

Don't forget to follow the instructions carefully before installing ;)

And if you really wanna fly high with your music, then don't forget this sound mod too: ViPER4Android Audio Effects

That's the same sound mod you can choose in Zelly Cream 3.5.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aligh9:
Solved, thanks. Frist time it gives the same error but after removing the previously installed version, now it is working like a clock! Thanks again

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Saqib Nazm:
wipe battery stats from cwm then give your phone full charge & see,if the problem still persist then re flash the rom with full wipe/test some other rom. If the problem still persists then you can make a guess where is the problem actually
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pops25:
Thanks. I re flash rom and give wipe battery stats. Now let's see if anything would help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
in addition to what saqib said, you should change cpu governor to smartassH3 (if available) or smartassv2 (in case H3 not available) and then set minimum and maximum cpu frequency. you will lose battery faster if you're overclocking so if battery is more important, stick to stock speeds
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pops25:
Ok now is better 2% battery in 3 hours success. Befory 40-50% in 4 hours. Cpu governor is smartassH3 and scheduler sio. SmartassH3 is better than smartass v2?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
yup :)

Good, But Offline Charging Bug!!

Hey!! Good Ram management, overall ice Rom!! But there is a bug, i can't charge my phone while it is turned off!! It turns on itself after being stuck at boot animation for about 20 minutes..:rolleyes:

For Locked Bootloader!!

I think this is a mistake in folder "locked" inside aroma...

Edit: Fixed it... delete d Extra "system" folder inside "system" (optional)..

And Flash d zip attached after installing recovery..

I have installed the NXT Calendar, but when I try to enter the app I can not. He says that the calendar has stopped.

Can you help me?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
That is common thing after installation, just restart your phone and will be ok :). If not, restart again. If not, you done something wrong :). Did you cleared calendar data after installing nxt calendar? If you have both nxt and google calendar on phone, i suggest you delet one you don't need (in this case google). You need some root explorer for this job and need to enter root/system/app. In that folder you'll find all apps and of course calendars.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kjuba:
Any chance for new version of this rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Hiute:
I've rebooted many times but not working.

I followed all the instructions to install the ROM.

What is the name of the NXT calendar application?

What applications I have to uninstall? I put the apps that I have in the folder app:

CalendarProvider.apk

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

SemcCalendar.apk

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ivica122:
I don't know what to say. When i choose nxt calendar in aroma everything is working normal. Maybe it's important that is my bootloader unlocked. If yours is locked, then maybe can help you someone with locked bootloader.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mankotialovely:
If lockscreen doesn't change normally, then

1st disable Navigation Bar. Then change lockscreen from Settings>Lockscreen Style.

Then again go to Navigation Bar,disable it without reboot then again go to Lockscreen

Style & change Lockscreen. :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mankotialovely:
Generally it is not necessary to change min. frequency however it is your choice. If you are facing some problems like lag in opening apps then you can raise min. frequency to just a little step. :)

when i overclock from 1 ghz to 1.1 or 1.2 ghz , how about my battery? does it easily get heat? when i overclock clock it from 1.0 to 1.1 or 1.2?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mankotialovely:
If you over clock from 1 Ghz to 1.1 or 1.2 GHz then it will consume your battery a little bit more than normal because it require more power.

Yes your phone will be easily heated up when you overclock your phone because you raise the CPU frequency or CPU cycle rate and due to this it will consume your battery faster than normal and this raises the temp. of battery.
