Today I noticed a feature of miniCM that I don't find to my liking. While using stock 2.1 when talking on the jack headphones I used to answer or make a call, disable the screen with power button and put the device into my pocket - now the power button is disconnecting the call rather than disabling screen when dialer is active. Can anything be done about it?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] papasieg:
hotfix link for t9 not working invalid link! ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] qsmyle:
+1

That is important for me as well.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] smoczoos:
I don't know how it was in minicm, but in 2.2.1 or 2.3.2 it is not an CM function. You can disable it in menu - accessibility settings - power button ends call :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
Well, I've got something messed up then. When this option is disabled, the power button simply disconnects the call and goes back to contact list. When it is enabled it disconnects the call and shuts down the screen, so I need to unlock it and then I see the contact list.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] smoczoos:
Checked. Indeed, it is disconnecting. No matter of setting that option.

Hey, does anyone have the same problem as me? Whenever I install an app, I will get " SD card safe to remove" and my phone will have boot loops for 30minutes. Help?

Anyway, may I know what is flash fixes? How do we flash fixes and what is flashing? Sorry, im a newbie in this :(
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
Restore 2.1 with SEUS, then install beta1 update.zip - it should get things repaired. Or try flashing fixes first - maybe they'll help with bootloops.

As for flashing - this means you need to get zip package to SD card, reboot the phone into xrecovery, go to "install custom zip", find the package you want to flash and install it :)

bugs : native app2sd dont work for me .

my apps go to my ext3 partition when i install them .

some apps are not install . like angrybirds and ... .

any solution?!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] cruizz:
i use ext2 patition..angrybird installed sucsessfully..all apps runs smoothly.. :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
I think native only works with ext2 partitions or it will use the old 2.1 App2SD
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] klaus74:
so, which one: this or racht's? :D

In Floyo i saw a huge battery drain, what about this one?

I returned to eclair+jit for now and i use link2sd (i think it works great).

I'll wait on the river side :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mzmz83:
Any Chance to get an Gingerbread Theme working on this ROM.

Like this Gingerbread Theme, it worked very well on 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.10 by Racht.

Just a Framework would make me happy, too.

But it doesn't work anymore on this ROM.

Anyway, great work, ROM works very fine. THANKS.

First install CM theme: http://floyo.desean.net/Floyo-1.2.0-CM-Theme_.zip

Than install GingerFroyo: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=471620&d=1293117547

But I am thinking of adding GingerFroyo theme to Alpha2.

Yes I know it happens to me on some apps but for examle Angry Birds can be moved to sd
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] BehradGH:
native app2sd use fat partition as partition to install apk's . am i wrong?!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ivan4o5:
If I have racht's floyo-0.1 installed on the phone , what should I do to install this rom ? To format my Data folder and install the custom zip from this thread ? (sry , I'm a noob :S )
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
I am not sure but I think it will use the old App2SD if you have an EXT partition.

There is no need to format data if you come from Floyo you just have to install the update.zip.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Asdoos:
can you please tell me how you fix wifi =
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:

Try saving and restoring data with MyBackup - worked for me ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] YourMum~:
Full wipe? What does it do?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] YourMum~:
beta1 update.zip is the update.zip that is in this post, the download link right?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] timk1764:
Erases all user data and clears all cache, much the same as a factory rest.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] YourMum~:
Does it clear those backups?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] timk1764:
No just user data stored on the phones internal memory, stuff like contacts.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] YourMum~:
Then how do we back them up? Is it possible by using MyBackup?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] timk1764:
Maybe you can I don't no, I use Google to sync contacts and have them save to my sim as well.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
For Contacts, i just export it to SD and reimport it. for Apps i use Titanium Backup. I found, through trial and lots of erros:D, that it's a lot better to do a full wipe before installing a rom and its updates and fixes, then clearing the cache and dalvik caches or a complete wipe again before rebooting.

Also, i always keep an xrecovery backup on my PC and SD card of both original and whatever ROM that worked great on my phone.

I just updated to Beta1 yesterday after using Alpha 3.1 since it came out, This is a trully great ROM for everyday use, for me anyway. So much so that i forgot what problems it still has. :p

Many thanks to the Devs and XDA :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
MyBackup is all-in-one. It has a basic functionality of backing up and restoring data (to SD or to external server), so it keeps your contacs, call log, bookmarks, sms, mms, system settings, android home (this one didn't actually work for me), alarms, dictionary, calendar and music playlists. I did not try all of them, as I didn't need a backup of all these.

However, if we give it su permision, it can also backup apps. Didn't try it too though, as I was already using titanium at that time ;)

Thanks again.

viper001 do you want upload app XDA? please thx
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
I'd like to but we gotta get an ok from the moderators. don't wanna get kicked out ;-D

however, if you can't get it from the market, you could download Market Enabler from the Market (i know its wierd, but i ain't complaining ;-D) to spoof market and download stuff you normally can't, such as XDA. that's how i got it in the first place.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
why i dont have QWERT keyboard on the beta 2???
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
What do you mean? Are there no "android keyboard" and "htc ime mod" options availible in language options? Enable them, if they are by any chance disabled, then go to sms editing, hold longer the input space and choose a convinient one :) Or change htc ime settings, there is a 12x keyboard option there, switch it to qwerty, it simply has to work :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] EL_BELLACO:
HTC MOD is activate it, and dont work.

Going to restore to stock, i will wait, 2.3 roms XD.

But any whay, this is the first 2.2 rom that APP2SD works.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
Did you check htc ime settings and changed the input method via sms editor?

And a general question to anyone who knows - if I have an ext partition to which all my apps are installed (which is of course convinient) am I able to make a phone install anything in the internal memory? Because things like phonelocator should definately be placed in the internal storage rather than on an SD card...

In this way link2sd was damn better...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Imppy:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] SunShine522:
Very want to try,but download address isnt open,whrther to have a solution?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Compwxr:
I dont think so, app2sd via symlink is rather a hack, it makes your phone think that your ext partition is root app folder, and, it also moves dalvik cache to it, if you have fast sdcard it's very usefull. Anyway, some apps aren't made thinking that users would force them to external storage so, in that way, native app2sd is better, because you can choose install location.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] frahmadani:
hey all, just a question about wiping:

xrecovery only backup 'system', 'data', and 'cache' right? so if i flash this rom then do full wipe, can i restore it perfectly back to its original state, or is there still some data lost? what about the other folder like config, data, etc, init?

or to be more specific: i used ext2 app2sd. if i flash this rom then do a full wipe, then restored back to my previous rom, are all my apps will still work? thank you :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Compwxr:
i think so, if it supports app2sd symlink they will be shown in your previous rom. cous all apps infos will be stored in sdcard. But, if the rom your updating to, supports ext part, you might have conflict problems if you install same apps, like can't install errors.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
Stock audio recorder doesn't work but also TrackID doesn't work. This app also record sound. Encoding must be fixed.

Encoding video/audio (record) still is to fix.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Graveir:
Ok, question arises if when I push apps into fat32 partition, will they go there with dalvik cache as well? Because the easiest way to deal with it would be to move as many apps as I can to fat32, backup the rest with titanium, backup SDcard on my hard drive, format it to only one partition and put the files back there. It would certainly make some apps go back to internal storage, as ext partition wouldn't be there. However, if I had to keep ALL the cache in the internal storage I'd simply run out of place used, for example, by browsers...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] tn9:
I have samoe problem with native app2sd. When I try to download any app form market it will start download and anything else. What shell I do?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Imppy:

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] viper001:
In the instructions, after updating it says to flash the fixes. I will be updating from Beta 1, will i still need to flash the Floyo untouched theme, hotfix T9 and the Phone fix?

Sorry, but i'm asking because the changelog does not indicate that the fixes are incorporated.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] biglama:
FM radio

FM radio works great except ADS info is displayed over channel number instead of next to it - making the text impossible to read. Not a complaint, just an observation. Also FM radio had force close after installing untouched CM theme, fixed with re-install update.zip.

Beta 2 seems faster than Beta 1 (ie. angry birds plays with almost no lag, ADW EX launcher feels smoother, and screen animations are much more fluid).

Great Job to all DEVS on this ROM!!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Rolandh:

I just update my miniCM into Beta 2. I try to move some application from phone to sd card using application. But got error message "..not enough storage left".

I was check status my storage using titanium back up, and I still have many space in storage. Actually, what should I do to move my application from phone to sdcard?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Check your /cache partition. It's probably low on space.

Also rebooting helps sometimes.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] bogdan_mihai554:
Hi, i saw that you fixed the App2Sd(NATIVE), but it doesn't seem to work on my X8:( any fix for it?(Currently Running MiniCm Beta 2)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] luisjoseb:
Thanks for this great Firmware, I flash yesterday and this firmware is very nice and stable. Great job
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Yes Froyo's App2sd is working. The only reason installation of big apps might fail is the /cache partition getting full. This stops the market download instantly.

Moving of apps might be affected by this situation too. A workaround would be to wipe /cache via xrecovery and try again :)

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:

BTW TrackID is not a bug, I think it needs to be modified to work on custom roms.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
TrackID not work so it is not bug?!

Not working stock sound recorder it is bug but can use Virtual Recorder from Market as a workaround.

And

for not working stock TrackID can't use any app as a workaround!

So it is bigger bug than sound recorder.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
You can use soundhound or shazam instead and it is not a bug since it is not made to work with custom Roms.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] owain94:
i will explain it to you :P

sound recorder is standart system app with froyo and it is not workign that is an bug

TrackID is a Sony Ericsson app from 2.1 rom and it will nto work ofc you need SE libs this is not a bug this is just a branded app to work with SE 2.1 stock rom
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jamesbond22:
It depends on operator that application TrackID is installed in rom 2.1, and not all have TrackID in rom 2.1?

- Radio FM it is not standard system app with froyo so it is no bug. So why Radio FM been selected as bug?

- Sound Recorder it is additional app included in rom 2.1. TrackID it is also additional app included in rom 2.1.

- for Sound Recorder can use other app from Market as a workaround. For TrackID can't use any app as a workaround.

- TrackID work in stock rom 2.1. In rom 2.2 not work.

Only I one use TrackID...

RTL problem

Some of this problem are:

1-No arabic keyboard. The default keyboard has no Arabic support. Using Ar Gingerbread found on the net solve part of the problem.

2- Browser shows arabic in Left to Right not RTL, and characters not connected.

3- In GMail, the titles show in Arabic perfectly but not the contents.

Google shows that there a lot of attempt to solve the RTL (mainly Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Hebrew) problem in CM but we have no clear solution.

Someone said here that on Nexus One the is a solution after modifying framework.jar.

Other than that MiniCM Beta 2 is an excellent ROM and quiet stable, other than some reboot after using Root Explorer and some app with root requirement. My previous attempt with this ROM and racht's ROM was bad, mainly because I have ext3 partition. After the partition was deleted, everything work find.
