Sorry, XDA doesn't allow me to put links or files until I have 10 posts.

"dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host"

I only have this line in my vold.fstab file.

Have an idea, but I'm afraid to try "dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/sdcard auto /devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host" :p

update:not working this method.

when i about to install SU, my phone says no apps can perform this action..

what's wrong with my phone?
[Sony Xperia E1] Andrey_Dnepr:
When you try install apk file, or open zip archive?
[Sony Xperia E1] astral9:
when i open the apk file inside the zip archive of the link you gave me
[Sony Xperia E1] Andrey_Dnepr:
Unzip apk first, not try launch inside zip.
[Sony Xperia E1] :
Copy .apk to sd card first and then install. In the phone go to setttings-> security-> uncheck verify apps then install .apk

I had same problem.
[Sony Xperia E1] astral9:
this works thanks :)

Guys, I don't have access to my laptop or Xperia E1 right now..

So, I'll try something out when I get access to them (probably by this week) and will report back!
[Sony Xperia E1] fsl.indrawan:
see? just a single mount point, are you sure can swap the mmc? i think we need 2 mount point so we can manipulate the mount poin

Moreover, it's seems like we only got 2 primary partitions (if i'm not mistaken) 1st for system partition, and the 2nd is for /data (partition for installed apps) and sdcard0 (internal sd) is in the same partition, that's why when i cant move the application from data partitiom to sdcard0

it's different than samsung, where data and sdcard0 is in separate partition, so we can manipulate the mount point of sdcard0 (internal) and sdcard1 (external)

Correct me if i'm wrong
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
It should still work, because with other Xperias I could swap internal and external storage. But this is kinda strange, because this phone only has 1 line of code. Maybe I could add 1 more line to "simulate" the other partition and try to swap it. Or I'll wait for the new update, KitKat :(
[Sony Xperia E1] fsl.indrawan:
I'm glad to hear that, i'm new xperian user haha

Thanks man

Is a way to replace xperia lockscreen with the default JB lockscreen ? Because I can't tweak xperia specific lock screen with GravityBox.

Tks
[Sony Xperia E1] astral9:
i have the same problem with you...

i hope someone can teach us the partition thing
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
After flashing the old kernel, have you booted your phone up and ran towelroot? Did it tell you that your phone was rooted then? And, then, you flash the new kernel, boot it up again, and your root access is gone? How come? You'd loose root only if you flashed a full ROM, because it would override the system partition, where the root files are. Don't know what to suggest here. Maybe try to root it all over again.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
everything is fine, although I have not turn on 'usb debug' , I forgot :P

Busy box installed, super su installed, and towel root is worked fine.

I only need now to know how to allow apps to write to sd card.

And what program to use to move apps to sd card :)

Thank you a lot, you're great :)
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
If you're focused on applications, the way to go is Link2SD, from the Play Store, although it requires an exclusive partition on your SD card to work. Either through a PC based program, like Minitool, or on your phone, like GParted, create a 2nd (and last) partition in your SD card. Its size it's up to you to decide. Mine is a 3GB long partition in a 128GB card, in my Xperia ZQ (same as ZL). Format it to either ext4 or ext3. The first time you run Link2SD with the card with the new partition, it will detect it and it will ask you about is file system. Select the same type you used when you formatted your new partition. Reboot your phone. When you run Link2SD again, you can select applications in the internal storage and tap "Create Link". Select as many parts as it lets you. To link i an application internal data you'll have to buy its license key, called Link2SD Plus. But don't get obsessed with creating links all over the place. Do this way: you are installing app X, but get that annoying insufficient storage available. You launch Link2SD, create the link for a big app on the internal storage, and try to install app X again. New insufficient storage message? Create another link, and so on.

Now, if you want to move big folders, like those GB+ ones from many heavy games, install FolderMount, from the Play Store. This one doesn't require an exclusive partition. Launch it, tap the + sign, choose and begin defining a pair. Give it a suggestive name, select a folder on the internal storage and either define a destination folder in the SD card, or let it automatically create it for you. Save the pair. It will move its contents over to the card. If it contains media files, tick the box which will hide it from the media scanner. Once a pair is created, you'll see a white pin at the right. Tap it too make it turn to green. The pair is working. The free version will let you create some 3 or 4 pairs. If you need more, you'll have to buy is license key.

Hope they work for you.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
I'l try your metod..

Is new partition needed for all such apps?

I hear that is possible to set that all new installed apps go to sd card, maybe to make sd card and internal partition as one? But don't know is this good?

What about this app: ''System app remover (ROOT)''?

And my last question:

-How to increase ram, i have 512. i would like to increase up to 2-4.

Is this worth to do on this device, or not?

-For System apps, i know what i dont need, but would like to hear from you also, what you disabled on your phone, and what is safe to remove?

Thanks for all your precise answer, realy appreciates..

I can finally be happy with my rooted xperia e1 :)
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
You CAN'T increase the RAM

You can, however make a swap file in your SD Card to use It as a Virtual Memory when the Dedicated RAM is low. If your SD-Card is slow already (By slow, I mean slow writing, reading etc..), It will not make your phone blazing fast, but you will see the difference between when you don't have swap enabled, and when you enabled It.

Safe to remove system apps, like Google+, YouTube, Facebook addons, basically those apps you don't really need. Be careful not to remove key-apps that are installed in Android's "heart" :D
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
Apart from what Kizoky wisely pointed out, I'd just like to add that as Serbia has no customized ROMs available in Sony' servers, it would be safe, in mire777's specific case, to uninstall all VIP Mobile applications he doesn't use. By the way, I use Titanium Backup for such tasks, usually backing an app up, prior to uninstalling it.
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Thanks..

My ram is about 96mb in use, when clear it, i have 170.

I think i have san disc 10-30 mb/s, need to check..

I'm already fix kitkat sd card write restriction in /system/etc/permissions by adding: <group gid=”media_rw” />

I have twiter, chrome,google+,facebook... which is disabled long time ago, i will remove these..

What about google playstore, it running in back.?

[MENTION=346743]casouzaj[/MENTION]

I already remove all Vip apps, only left 1 app which i need..
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I'll warn you again

Be careful what System app will you remove, I removed all Bloatware apps (and built-in system apps) that I didn't need, but for some reason I couldn't download anything from the Google Play Store
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I finally found a way to change the DPI on E1.

By default, the DPI is 240, however you can't change that in Build.prop because Sony didn't add that line in it.

Download BuildProp Editor, and add ro.sf.lcd_density

You can write in 240-180

160 is ugly and very glitchy, I use 200.

Bug: You can't do screenshots.
[Sony Xperia E1] jrm1213:
What reasons would you reduce DPI?
[Sony Xperia E1] mire777:
Ok, Thank you.
[Sony Xperia E1] xezrunner:
Or there's the Resolution Changer app in the Play Store which can also change the resolution and DPI at the same time. That screenshot bug is really bugging me though.

On E1, what folder holds logo.rle?

How convert png to rle? Just name change or format?

in system root only (these are the files present in ramdisk)

you have to do it in ramdisk otherwise you will not see any change as it will be overwritten on startup.

Hey guys!

Could you help me out a bit?

I just rooted the phone using Androxyde's flash tool and Towelroot, and I installed Xposed with some tweaks like GravityBox KK and Lockscreen Tweakbox and I enabled the Stock Lockscreen and Multiple Users.

When I go to my lock screen, what I see is that the User Switcher is overlaying the Clock widget. Is there any way to reposition the switcher to under the pattern lock maybe?

EDIT: I've been trying to find help but the only thing I found is editing the framework-res.apk but I don't know how :(

I need help with my Xperia Z2 with this same issue. Cab anyone help me?
[Sony Xperia E1] FantaBuoy:
Hello. I've been through most of this thread (took me some time, I admit I skipped pages 80 to 100 or something but I read everything else). After seeing some useful replies, especially the most recent ones, I have a few questions about rooting.

First off, I have a Sony Xperia E1 single (D2005). Its version is 4.4.2 (20.1.A.2.13) and bootloader unlock: no. So, these are my doubts:

- Seeing I probably won't get my operator to allow the bootloader unlock, can I still root with booloader locked?

- To use the method I've seen posted which requires flashing an older kernel, rooting and then flashing the new one, can I use any kernel I find, or would it depend on my country and/or operator?

- After rooting, I can't update the phone "normally" anymore, true or false?

I'd appreciate any help you could provide!
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
I already posted ftf files for the D2005, as well as some detailed instructions on how to flash them. Look for them. Anyway, please, launch the phone dialer and dial *#*#SERVICE #*#* (same as *#*#7378423#*#*) and navigate to Service info > Software info and post here your Customization Version. I'll check whether the files which I already have uploaded to my Google Drive account would suit your case or not.
[Sony Xperia E1] FantaBuoy:
I'm sorry, I must've missed that post, I'll check again. The info under customization version is: 1281-0125_R2B.
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
Im not in my home right now. Please, give me some time.

EDIT: your current customization version is Vodafone PT. Sony deleted all the pervious ROMs from their servers, thus keeping the latest one only. That means that I'm no longer able to make an old kernel ftf for your customization. If you found my previous post, you priobably saw that I posted old files for Germany and Italy. You would have to pick one of them (or both) and see if you can, firstly, flash it, and, then, if your phone boots up with it. Now, regarding the new ROM, would you like to switch to a customized ROM (i.e. without the Vodafone bloatware)? I could build and upload a full Customized PT ftf file for you. Otherwise, I'd build just the Vodafone kernel. Please let me know your decision.
[Sony Xperia E1] FantaBuoy:
That's fine, take your time. I'm already thankful how fast you were to offer help. Also, I don't know if this might be useful, but my country is Portugal and my operator is Vodafone.
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
Please, read my edited post above yours!
[Sony Xperia E1] FantaBuoy:
If the only difference of a customized ROM is to get rid of the Vodafone bloatware, then I'm all for it!

EDIT: But wait, I'm new to this but I think I read somewhere I would need an unlocked bootloader for a customized ROM, which I don't have. If this option works with a locked bootloader then it's fine. (Sorry if I'm wrong, but again, I'm fairly new to this and all the info I have is from other posts I've read here or on other websites).
[Sony Xperia E1] jrm1213:
[MENTION=6379169]FantaBuoy[/MENTION], Your original aim was only root. On my D2004, starting like yours with A.2.13, I used a kernel to root from 0.47 from D2005 not even the same continent. I did not detour to run the phone with 0.47, but after rooting went right back to 2.13. Thus I don't think specialization matters when changing only the kernel.

But unlike you, my bootloader could be unlocked, which I did do with Sony's procedure; I can't help with your situation there.

One caution: look into backup of Sony keys before rooting; you lose them in the procedure, but backup allows a restore.
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
It's called customized by Sony. It's a stock ROM, completely rid of any carriers' bloatware. Of course it is meant for locked bootloaders. I'll build a full customized PT ROM for you. Have you already found the .47 old kernel ftf files I uploaded some time ago?
[Sony Xperia E1] FantaBuoy:
Yes, I have, thank you.
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
It's a 700+ MB file. It will take some hours! I'll post its link when ready.
[Sony Xperia E1] FantaBuoy:
BTW, one last question. I've made a backup of the most important stuff, contacts, messages, etc, just incase, but does the process normally erase apps or other stuff ?
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
Not necessarily. As they are variations of the same ROM, some with more applications in the system partition, others with less, you could just untick the wipe data checkbox in Flashtool, in order to have your data and settings kept unchanged. This is called a dirty flash. However, if you happen to experience poor performance a couple of hours after doing so, it would be advisable to perform a hard reset (i.e. go back to the factory defaults).

EDIT: Here you are: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9QC6m7q4NrFN2ZFX2hET0VRcmM/edit?usp=docslist_api

You have to flash this file first. You can untick the wipe data checkbox to keep your data. Then, flash the .47 kernel. Boot your phone up, root it with towelroot, flash this full ROM again, but now, besides unticking the wipe data checkbox again, tick every item in the exclusion list, except the kernel. Boot it up again and install & run both SuperSU and BusyBox.

Happy flashing!
[Sony Xperia E1] FantaBuoy:
It's working, thanks for everything!
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
If it's addressed to me, you're most welcome! Congratulations on your achievement! And welcome to a whole new world of customizations!
[Sony Xperia E1] Sowa96:
Should the file in link be .47? not .13 ?

I have the same problem.. so I'm in some kind of a dilemma :D

EDIT: my costumisation version is : 128-8171_R1B.. So can I use the link FantaBoy used ??
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
The file ending in .47, whose link I posted weeks ago, is the old kernel, whilst the .13 one, which I have just uploaded, is the new 4.4.2 customized PT full ROM.
[Sony Xperia E1] Sowa96:
Ok, I understand.. thanks.. I found a link with .47 and I will flash the kernel.. root it.. and flash back the new one.. hope it's gonna work :)
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
Now answering your edited post, Bosnia and Herzegovina lacks a customized ROM. Your customization version is for the Telekom Srpske carrier. If, like FantaBuoy, you'd like to try a customized ROM, I guess the Portuguese one would work for you. If you happen to have some trouble with your network, I could build your carrier's ROM for you, or even the Customized CE5.
[Sony Xperia E1] Sowa96:
I just found the Russian .47.. I flashed it.. Framaroot worked.. supersu worked.. now downloading the current(new) original Bosnia firmware with Xperifirm.. I think this is it..

And an custom ROM would be nice.. with more tweaks and stuff.. :)

Update: I'm getting an update from sony to update the .13 kernel.. should I update or flash it via flashtool ?
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
I guess you get that update notification whilst having the old kernel installed. Disregard it! But you should stay with that kernel solely to get root!
[Sony Xperia E1] Sowa96:
Ok.. It is only kernel.. around 13mb..

EDIT:Will I be able to install recovery on E1??
[Sony Xperia E1] casouzaj:
I don't know if there's a stable recovery for locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia E1] Sowa96:
Used root checker to check is my phone rooted.. and it's confirmed :DThx

Any advice what should I do first?
