Open browser and put this in m.sonyericsson.com/backup
if not compatable with 2.2 you will need to flash back to the level you created
backup
Not positive if it will work, but you can try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
Just download and unzip the file you need, in this case, backupandrestore.apk
Next, move it to your sdcard, and install using ASTRO or your choice of file manager.
Remember, I am not 100% positive if it will work on FreeX10 2.2 firmware.
hi there fellas.. i was trying to get the themed version of my dialer but it ended up screwing it up, and now everytime i try to open my dialer, it FC's :/ i didnt even make a backup of the original contacts.apk.. so can someone be kind enough to post the stock contacts.apk
appreciated much
Here you go matey. I've zipped the apk and odex for you. I assume you know, but I'll say just in case, not to install the apk - you need to put it in system\apps and restart.

None that i know of. Maybe with some apk editing we can fix that, but i don't know. Ray's screen is too perfect that all the text is too small..

Hi all. I am really excited to install custom ROM in other thread. But I don't want to lose my apps and settings. Is there a way to backup and restore them after flashing? You know, need not an hour to do that. Thanks.

You can download an app from the market such as titainium backup or my backup, that will back up all your apps and data, once you install your rom download the app from the market again and restore. All of your apps will be restored
There are a few paid and none paid apps in market, I use paid version of titainium backup but i have used my backup in the past

if your phone is rooted, you can edit file /system/build.prop. at string ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (9 from bottom) and change density to 260 or 280, than ALL text elements will slightly bigger. need reboot after changing.
Well frankly i don't think the messaging fonts are smaller... It's quite comfortable...
That lcd build.prop method was very common in Sensation section... but there we used to decrease it to 204 and with that you get 5x5 application drawer inn HTC sense...,don't know how it will behave here...
secondly, users reported that some market applications show incompatible if you change lcd density...

and download the latest version
Hi Gents
I have my phone rooted with unlocked bootloader and i use stock rom .42 with Doomkernel.
Now when I connect my Ray to PC, PC Companion says that new firmware is available for my phone (.62). Do you know what would happen if I would start updating through PC Companion? Brick? Loosing root? Nothing? Simply updating? What is your oppinion about that? Thanks for support.

My.bootloader is unlocked when I tired to update it told me I couldn't as running a moddified rom?

I'd recommend reverting to stock form again(relock bootloader, unroot, stock firmware), then update
better safe than sorry

HI Guys,
I am planning to buy Xperia Ray, but i didn't find any ICS custom ROM for this.
so here are my questions:
1. Will Sony Ericsson port ICS on this phone ?
2. Is there any ICS custom ROM for this set ?
Thanks in advance.

Changing launcher
hey guys,
i´m having some trouble with changing the launcher components....
according to THIS:

hey,
habe euch hier mal meinen veränderten arc launcher hochgeladen......vllt. hat ja jemand interesse
screens:

ansich wurden nur der homebutton, dock und die folder icons geändert

i already did it some time ago...but now i can´t get it to work again and this file doesn´t exist anymore
my steps are:
- open .apk in betterzip
- take out some .png and change it
- replace the .png
- save the .apk
- sign it
- install
- error, app not installed
i did some searches and found something about deleting the files of the "META-INF" folder, but that didn´t work either
i guess it´s related to the launcher not just being a launcher but also a system-file or something
so...what am i doing wrong?

Just put the apk in system/app change permission to rw-r-r and restart.
you mean copy / paste with a file manager or install??
and why change the permission? the original launcher has other permissions (i´m just curious)
/e: oh ****, it worked
thx man!
can it do it the same way when modding the framework-res.apk?
Hi...
I know this might be asked a couple o times now, but i searched a lot but couldnt find a solution..
I want to replace my stock cm7 contacts and messaging apps..
Contacts from Ray's stock rom, and messaging from MIUI..
I tried using adb, push, signing the stock apps, replacing system apps with these apks.. but all in vain..
What is the correct way?
Please guide me.. I really miss the Contacts from Ray...
Thanks a lot..
Please reply guys..
Heres a list of all the bloatwares which came with the 6.0.A.3.76TW firmware. I took screenshots of the apps (Astro File Manager) which were in the system folder. Hiden apps are also in the screenshot. I have already unlocked and rooted my GB firmware but just don know which bloatwares i should get rid off/Uninstall as i dont know of each's functionality and also dont want to harm my STOCK ROM in the process. Hope u can help me with it =). Btw, i dont think that am gonna need PCC or SEUS sync apps as am more comfortable in flashing roms with flashtool (Froze MtApp by TitaniumPro). Btw, the new Xperia S does get lock if you root the phone as u can only access the phone but not the internal memory if Sony finds it out. Though thanks to DoomLord/Napster for their amazing app to Mount/Unmount my internal memory card manually. Please do realize that am gona need that particular app to work with =p. U can add me up or pm me if you want to discuss about the bloatwares. Will surely love to discuss it =). It would be a great help if you could help me out on this one.
Thanks.
I Used TitaniumPro to Froze/Uninstall some apps which i knew of.
ScreenShots Added
Some users were having problem downloading the zip file i shared, so here are the screenshots added directly on the thread. The apps are sorted and in page order so u dont have any problem reading em. Hope u can help me out. Thanks again =)
