[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] daml:
Ok so I tried updating my australian (3) X10minipro to uk generic. Sony companion tells me it was upto date.

Not a problem I thought, well I must have the uk firmware...

So I went ahead and edited build.prop again to install 2.1. Same problem? Sony companion tells me the phone is upto date.

Thats ok I went and tried to force repair of phone but now im told:

"unable to download your phone software. please check your internet or try again later."

Any help appreciated. Have I done something wrong. I am using the build.prop out of a thread in this forum.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] daml:
Hmm now I'm trying to edit my build.prop to the uk one again. So I can try force restore on that then try the 2.1 firmware again.

rm build.prop

rm failed for build.prop, Read-only file system

Any idea on this too? It's all so frustrating no-one else seems to be having any problems.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SRT_:
The update is not yet available anywhere else than the nordic countries... It will be more widely available in the next weeks... Changing to UK f/w won't help...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] daml:
That is correct. I am trying to update my australian x10 mini to nordic firmware. This is entirely possible.

Are you a sony ericsson representative?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] daml:
ok. Got the uk prop file on the phone. i used root explorer to mount the filesystems read write. same original error now.

pc companion download error.

im lost now... what am i doing wrong
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spence91:
I can only tell you that changing to UK prop won't help because 2.1 has (to the best of my knowledge) not been released in the UK yet.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] daml:
But dont I need uk generic before doing an update to nordic 2.1?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
That's true... I'm awaiting as well. I have the UK generic ROM... I thought will be the first one, but most of us were wrong... :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spence91:
You need a nordic generic to update to nordic 2.1.

UK is not a nordic country (serious apologies if that comes across as patronising)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
why don't you wait only one day? i'm sure tomorrow or after tomorrow everybody will have the update.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
How do you know if you have the UK Generic rom?

I got my mini pro on o2 last week but there is no o2 branding at all on it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
Get into secret menu (on locked screen push: home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back) and then in Software Info if you have the customization version: 137-392_R8A, if not, yours isn't unbranded, it's a custom o2 rom.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neo6776:
I got phone software version:

1235-3411_1.1.A.1.174

GENERIC - user

then at customization version i have.

1238-0199_R3A

Take it thats o2 then?

Ive tried to debrand but it keeps saying my software is up to date.

Hi,

I use a stock HTC Sense UI with android 2.1. Is there a way I can upload a geotagged photo to Facebook while displaying the geotagging information for example in a small window beside the picture with google maps?
[Android Software Development] nemuro:
I know jack about developing for android, but here's how I think of it.

The app finds the coordonates on google maps for example. It takes a screenshot and using picture in picture it attaches the location to the picture. It just uploads the picture to facebook and that's it. :)

Hello, im using the nordic version and last night i get the 2.1 update...

My problem is about the battery indicator when i turn on the phone after update when i lock the screen i see there the clock, brand, alarm and the percentage of the battery remaining.... now this battery indicator has dissapeared??

Can anyone give me a solution/answer ??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengeance1990:
Perhaps it was a widget and you can get it back off there, i can check since i havent had the update yet
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] don_gabrielli:
I don't have my charger with me now but if i am not mistaken the battery indicator appears on the lock screen only when you are charging the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkraidenrr:
I don't understand why SE don't put this percentage in the lock screen ALL TIME??? is very easy to push the "on" button to see the remaining battery than unclock and start to find stupid widgets...

PS: the battery appear in the lock screen only under 15% and charging mode, lol.

THESE LOOK SO GOOD!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758797

as you can see on the last page, the creator of these mods stopped working on them because they switched over to froyo. These mods are much better looking than the original accurate battery, so i was hoping someone could make these compatible with some of our current ROMs? (Bionix 1.9, Bionix Final, Bionix Fusion 1.1, Stock JI6)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
I'm gonna start on this tonight. Might take a little while. Lack of free time!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
i would thank you much, i would do it myself if i had the knowledge.

the horizontal blue battery-shaped mod just looks so sexy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Maverick777:
+1. I'd been using that mod for awhile until I flashed fusion. It'd be great if someone can make the mods work on JI6 roms.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] loogielv:
I agree and request this as well!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
Is this the battery mod you were looking for? You said horizontal? Or were you looking for the vertical mod? I used the png's from the web page provided. I didn't do everything yet, so let me know if anything should be changed.

***For some reason the pic came out a little blurry, but you get the picture.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
Yes, is blue possible?

Sent from my Vibrant.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
Yes, just gonna take longer cause ill have to edit each image. The color actually changes every 20 units, but making them all blue would be much easier! Maybe just make 0-10 red?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
Even 0-20 red would be fine as far as I'm concerned....are you doing metamorph, or flashable?

Sent from my Vibrant.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
Well, definitely metamorph, but I would love to make a flashable version. Problem is, Ive never made a flashable zip before. I'm gonna research and see if I can get one working. If not, we'll still have the morph.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The_Chrome_Coyote:
I really want this!! But for me its the blue matte textures that I want :-)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
I got a good portion of this done last night. Will be working on this more tonight. Hopefully a release tomorrow!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
cant wait, thanks for doing this......when youre done, post an announcement here, but i would definately suggest starting a new thread so everyone can enjoy your hard work!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
Just compiled this really fast. It should work and has the blue horizontal battery icons and notification icon changes from s0niqu3's thread.

This is just a MetaMorph to change the images as the Bionix ROMS have the accurate battery fix already.

Edit at 15:13 - Tested working on mine.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] loogielv:
says the link is invalid for me

anyway anyone can do the smooth circular batter? I'd punch myself in the face for it!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
You probably caught it as I was doing a quick switch up with an edit to the zip. Try it now.

I can try to do the circular one later. When you punch yourself in the face, make sure to record it and put it up on YouTube so we can see it. :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
Working great, thanks so much for doing this! Again, i would suggest you post this in its own thread so people know you did it....im sure many people would enjoy this

@mentalex....even though he beat you to it your efforts are still appreciated, i always feel guilty requesting things, but thank you for responding and being willing to do it for us!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
I might do that. I replaced the images in a custom battery morph I made for myself. I ripped the images right from one of s0niqu3's flashable zips, so any real credit goes to her for the images.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
yah im already editing what you just put out, removing some images i dont want replaced, and adding a few .pngs from the "carbon black" theme to the notification pulldown menu

nm, didnt work........the reason im having trouble doing these things for myself is because the last time i really messed around with morphs were for cupcake 1.5....its not as easy is just drag-drop mix-match anymore
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
It's still pretty simple. Just need to make sure the structure is right and the file names match the images you are trying to replace. Which parts of the carbon black morph do you want in there?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
just the carbon background and the status header background (that goes behind gps, wifi, silent mode in the pulldown), and then just the pulldown handle (the part at the bottom of the pulldown menu that actually says "notifications").....how would i go about adding those, i just tried dragging and dropping but the changes didnt apply
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
I merged black carbon into my morph (I have 1 morph I call Mashup that has everything I want in it), but I think those images need to go into the twframework-res.apk. I would need to look at it. Might take me a while. Been doing this stuff at work in-between things.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
thats cool, however the ONLY reason i thought drag and drop would work is because in the carbon theme, those .pngs are in drawable-hdpi folder, just like the battery morphs we just applied
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
As long as those particular pngs came from the framework-res and not twframework-res, you should be able to just drag and drop into the folder (/sdcard/AndroidThemes/BlueBattery/framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi). If they need to be applied to the twframework-res, you would need to add a twframework-res folder to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/ and then create the appropriate subfolders to put the images into. Then you would need to update the xml file with the following (would want to place it before the one for framework-res as framework-res should always be last):
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
yah see thats where i get lost, i have no idea how to edit .xml's.....its definately something im going to have to look into in the future
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
Yep, got beat to it. I actually got caught up modifying the battery a bit and seeing what looked good, then going thru the hundred someodd png's and changing each one. Well, good to see its up here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
Guys, for some reasons (mostly because of the keyboard issue in non-default mode), I´d like to change my Nordic 2.1 for German 2.1 on my X10 mini pro. Editing build.prop file and using SEUS didn´t work. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
I have to admit, I have selfish reasons for posting this poll. I never know what is the most stable/feature rich ROM available without reading through countless posts on several forums so I thought it would be good to have a central place for people to get an idea on what everyone else is currently using.

Right now I'm using Epic Experience with Phoenix kernel and my screen goes black with no way to bring it back without a battery pull. So I need to know what ROM to try next. My goals are simple:

Fast, stable, and most importantly... good battery life.

I just finally convinced my wife to let me root her epic in order to fix battery life and its not working very well.
[Epic 4G General] jeremyglass:
I am using Baked Snack v1.3 and was on the Boss Rom before with Mixup Kernel. On BakedSnackShack.com you can download it for free. Hero_Over was kicked off for asking for donations ($5min) before the public release, but let me tell you I have not run into 1 problem in ANY program in the last month...I don't plan on ever going to another developer because of his great success and features. He should be allowed back on but every time he does more drama happens. A rom is different for everyone and thats why there are so many developers to suite your needs. Good luck and if nothing else just try it out....I assure you will be impressed!
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
you need to realize what works for one person will not work for another. different combanations work and suite others needs then their own. i suggest trying everything out and find what works the best for you
[Epic 4G General] chino0131:
I have to say, I agree with mysteryemotionz. What one person may prefer may be what another dislikes. What one person may notice as being a problem, another may overlook. For instance, on the EVO forums a lot of people like cyanogenmod. I personally do not due to the lack of certain functions like 4G and other things (havent look at their forum in awhile so IDk if its still not working now).

Im currently using Epic Experience and mixup kernel. I loved AOSP Magic, but Epic Experience seems to have better support. I prefer the look of AOSP magic tho. I havent tried any other kernel since Im currently satisfied with how I have mixup running.
[Epic 4G General] deciple:
Yup...baked snack is the best so far I'd say. I've tried em all. Still haven't gotten the battery life that I've read about in some posts. But the battery life is by far better than stock. I'm using epic experience 1.2.0.4 with the latest mixup kernel also tried the latest phoenix kernel with no significant difference. So I just keep trying new things till something better comes along.

Seems clear I've missed a few ROM's like "baked snack". I just used the wiki post for my poll info.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
At first you say that you're using Baked Snack v1.3 but then later on you mention Hero_Over and in the same sentence say "...I have not run in to 1 problem in ANY program in the last month".

So which is it? What ROM are you using that isn't giving you any grief right now?

Baked Snack v1.3 or Hero_Over?

Also, while I'm on the subject, how do I add more options to the poll?

[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
Win.
[Epic 4G General] Coucher:
I don't think there's a "best" ROM / kernel combo for everyone.

It seems that each individual's phones and experiences can and are different.

For example, I was running stock rooted ROM with every version of MixUp since it's inception. On the most recent MixUp I started having battery life issues with no other changes so I decided to try a few things. First thing I did was change to the Epic Experience ROM which did improve my battery life a bit with the latest MixUp back to where it had been with the stock ROM and the previous MixUp. After reading a lot that the Phoenix kernel worked really good with Epic Experience I changed to the most recent version of it. Battery life went off the charts in the good direction with no other change. Phoenix is suppose to run at interactive governor by default but I was getting some weird behavior from it, so I swapped it to conservative and it's working perfect for me. When using any of the kernels I always kept my minimum set to 200Mhz to avoid any sleep/lockup/wakeup issues.

I don't think Phoenix is a better kernel than MixUp, nor do I think MixUp is, just for right now, Phoenix is working better for MY phone. I'll probably continue to bounce back and forth between these two as newer versions of each are released.

The below screen shot was after some light usage, a few phone calls, little bit of texting, maybe about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time on Wi-fi, maybe 30min to 1hr of games, maybe an hour of web surfing. :eek:
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
Baked Snack 1.3 with Phoenix 1.49.

I got about 13.5 hours of battery yesterday.
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
I used the baked snack kernel for a few days with noobl's andromeda (de odex) rom.. With many apps I didn't need, removed. I had many lockups (especially while charging) where a battery pull was the only way to get out. The only consistent crash I could find was if I was plugged into ac, with screen off, and received a notification, e.g. gmail message.. Which meant for me, no wake up alarm in the morning. :) I liked the speed, but the instability, on my setup at least, had me switch back to mixed up kernel. I still don't have the best battery life, but I'm getting to the bottom of that in the mixed up thread. Fwiw.

[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
by far my favorite and my current set up: apophis 1.1 (rom) and baked snack 1.3 (kernel), overclocked to 1.3 ghz.

i get linpak scores of 10.5 + consistantly and quadrant scores of 1010 + consistantly. this is the fastest combination ive ever used. when i first unplug it, the battery usually drops down to 95% in a couple minutes but steadies out after that. by the end of the day, once i get home from school, i usally have at least 20% left. and that's with 4g always on and moderate to heavy usage. once plugged in, it charges at a steady and fast rate.

i have my phone stripped down to bare minimum and only a few apps that i need. ive had zero black screens and few to none force closes upon rebooting but none to freak out about or anything that proves a problem.

props to the developers. thank you for providing the community with your hard work.

wtf OP? did you have to make a poll?
[Epic 4G General] andrew_apa1:
I had the same problems as the poster, but i think it was setcpu, i kept messing with the settings. I ended up leaving it on conservative, and it has not turned off on me since.

Im running phonix kernal / epic experience

I get like 20 maybe more hours of usage, fast charges, and only drains very little battery overnight..

i like this setup
[Epic 4G General] wjsmaggle:
I personally use Epic Experience 1.2.0.4 and Phoenix 1.49. I switched the governor to conservative because I had issues with the default interactive and have had zero issues since I switched. I got amazing battery life just 1ghz but I underclocked to 800mhz to improve my battery life even more without compromising on performance. If I'm doing something processor intensive I do bring it back up to 1ghz or even to 1.2ghz haha. But this combo works for me and I got approximately 35hrs with what I would call light usage. With moderate to heavy usage I average about 18hrs.
[Epic 4G General] Coucher:
It definitely seems that Epic Experience / Phoenix is the most popular combo, at least with those voting.

Glad to see others have reported similar experiences to mine with this combo as well.

Could just be mental, but I also seemed to notice that the phone charges a lot quicker than before with this Rom/Kernel as well as not getting as hot while charging. Not sure how/if it could effect this, but it sure "seems" that way.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
Maybe that was my problem. I'm now running Baked Snack 1.3 and the kernel says Here_Over. The volume won't work and there are other issues. My wife is gunna kill me if I don't get her a working phone soon. She's going to ask me to take her back to stock. (Ugh)

When following the instructions for flashing Epic Experience I never saw anything about setcpu or a governor. I just left everything at defaults.
[Epic 4G General] Coucher:
You wouldn't. SetCPU and/or governor settings are relative to the kernel, not the ROM.

Think of it like this, the ROM is the car, the kernel is the engine. You can swap out each independently and go with whatever combo works best for you.

SetCPU (governor) settings basically configure the "horsepower" your "engine" (kernel) has and how much"fuel" (battery life) it uses to make that "horsepower". :D
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
Okay I'm back to Epic Experience 1.2.0.4 and Phoenix 1.49.

I download setcpu, opened the program and chose the Samsung Galaxy and then selected conservative. Lets see how it goes.
[Epic 4G General] Coucher:
Not sure what it defaults to, but make sure to set the minimum to 200, and the max to whatever you want. 1200 for full overclocking to 1.2Ghz, or lower for more battery life but less performance. Many people have experienced issues if the minimum is set lower than 200 with their device not waking up, or freezing, etc.
[Epic 4G General] brianbrain:
I'd recommend giving the Phoenix Kernel another shot. The latest Epic Experience is really..epic..stick with it. With the Phoenix Kernel, I'm using v1.48 and I manually set the CPU governor back to "conservative" (it is set defaulting to interactive, which caused the no-waking you're describing on my phone as well). This combo is near flawless aside from this minor tweak that you need to perform and battery life is far better than stock.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
I'm at my wits end. I'm using Epic Experience and Phoenix Kernel and I've tried everything I can think of. The phone will go to sleep and decide that it just doesn't want to wake up. I have to do a battery pull to wake it up.

Right now I have setcpu set to conservative and the max is set to 245MHz and the Min is set to 245.

Somebody suggested that I set min to 245 but it doesn't slide that low.

Oh great, now the buttons at the bottom just blink when I push them and don't react at all. The whole phone is frozen. My wife is gunna kill me.

Looks like I'm just going back to stock Sprint ROM.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
Okay so I can see how I had the cpu clocked at 245MHz (no wonder it froze).

I first selected "autoselect" for device selection and now I set scale to conservative.

Lets see how it goes now for a while (cross all my fingers)
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
just wanna ask. for those running the epic experience and pheonix combo, how is the speed and performance? im trying to find a combo that gets the best or at least good battery life plus good performance. after messing around with some new rom/kernel releases, my setup just wasn't what i was looking for anymore. any and all feedback would be appreciated.
