[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JimieTheFox:
FFB ( Fast From Birth ) ICS ROM

This is my first work so go easy people and test it slowly, i've only tested on Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman so leave feedback about other devices too !

It is based on the

ICS 4.1.b.0.587

version of android ! It is prerooted !!! All you need to do is grab the busybox app from the Play Store and install it and !! POOF !! you're ready to go ;)

Useless apps and frameworks has been ripped off ( Generally it's a fully debloated Stock ROM ), only basic apps, wallpapers and Radio has been left untouched. I suggest running the V6 Supercharger Script after installing this so that you get the full possible boost. Also all apps were optimized with GOptimize v1.24 from gu5t3r.

WARNING

This ROM was created for performance and simple phone use so don't expect fancy things like Event Stream or other flashy apps in it !!!

Now...off to the GOOD part ;)

You have 2 choices:

1) Either install this on a locked bootloader and lose the init.d support...( there is a way to install a " bypass " init.d support !!! Justa search for " Universal init.d support " in the Play Store and there you go :)

or

2) Install this on an unlocked bootloader in addition with the provided kernel and enjoy full init.d support :D

Just to be clear here...this kernel is full Stock except the init.d support ! ! ! !

That means NO RECOVERY, you'll have to install your own recovery ! ! ! !

Some FINAL details:

a ) If you want recovery you can try ROM Manager from Play Store to install the CWM Recovery on your phone OR you can use flashtool to '' temporarily '' flash a kernel with recovery on then boot on that recovery and install the recovery of your choice (ooofff too much '' recovery '' :P ) there are plenty tuts on how to do that so Google is your friend ;) ( All that considering you have an unlocked bootloader )

b ) If you want ANY of the original apks to use it just request it and i'll provide ASAP with instructions on how to install it ( if you need it and that includes removed frameworks too ! ! ! ).
