[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adoneill:
Thanks and feedback

Firstly, I would like to say thanks for creating a fantastic and full ROM!!

You save me from abject brickednes!!!

Here's the story.

I am and Englishman in Brazil on a contract with VIVO.

I had updated to the stock SE 2.1.

I then installed a type of APP2SD ROM which required me to create a partition of Ext3 which I did with paragon partition magic. All was going well....

Then disaster!!

What I didnt realise was that the app installed EVERYTHING to the linux partition including my home launcher (which I had set to default) and when I removed the SD to copy files over on another computer the card ednded up corrupted and I couldn't recover anything. This effectively rendered my device inoperable as I was inundated with 'unable to load' messages continuously.

i tried to repair with SEUS but no avail, the system kept telling me that there were no available updates for my phone, even though I tried both update and repair options!!!

For a few minutes I thought I was screwed!!

Then I started to read here in more depth.

I tried installing a generic SE firmware with Xflasher but it went wrong (my fault I guess) and the phone got stuck in an endless reboot and then eventually just the boot screen with no opportunity to go into xrecovery.

The I used Xflasher again and installed your mod, but I had the problem with the boot cycle. I reinstalled the generic rom and bingo, Up and running again, however, there were still some problems. I then read my problem upgrading to yours was that my baseband was wrong (quite a bit lower than required) so I found a link somewhere here that had a the correct rom to be installed on xrecovery. i did this and then re-attempted to install your rom, this time after a few whiskeys!! I made the hilarious mistake of installing the gigglebread mod in my confusion and boote the device. It worked!!!

The problem was that the wifi reboot twice note didn;t work for me and it got stuck in yet another endless boot as I was unable to disable the wifi again, not to mention the various other bugs still yet to be ironed out.

So.....

I went back to yours again with xrecovery, this time using the custome firmware to select the correct file and bingo!!! Installed and running, with full support for almost everything, including (thank god!!!) the moving of apps to the SD fat32 partition without need for partitioning, damn much more stable!!!

Much more responsive and quicker, feature rich and prettier than 2.1 by far!!!

However, 2 small niggling things that dont work in order of importance for me..

1 multi touch/ dual touch - doesnt seem to work in any form, including testing the app from the market and trying all different combinations of one finger off then second etc (just a minor for me as I have fat fingers for a skinny guy :))

2. The most important for me,

I cannot for the life of me change the theme in any way. When I select from the extras menu in the cyanogen menu the highlight colours in the menu change and the transparence etc in the pull down bar, but the icon colours are still cyan, and this causes me a very serious problem trying to read anything especially when I add custom words to the dictionary as the field is in cyan and the letters are black renedering the operation for me an exercise in the futile!!! I know this shouldn't happen, I'm sure Ive missed something, but what?? Even if I change the other colour options in the menue, there seems to be no change, when I reboot and go back to the menu, the changes seem to be saved (the highlight colour green etc) but the actual chanmge doesn;t seem to happen, in fact not anywhere (im basing this that it's changing something different and I just read it worng) nothing is green!!.

If you can help me out and tell me where I'm going wrong, please do, I think this is an incredible addtiton to the community and all the hard work that all contribuitors have made should be commended!!!

So sorry for the essay, but I thought it might help anyone who has had any problems similar to anything I have been through ( I seem to attract the hard way of doing things ;) ).

Cheers!!
