Xperia MDPI
All in one guide for rooting/unrooting, unlocking/re-locking bootloader, FOTA unbrick, custom kernels, CWM, custom ROM's, tweaks, firmwares
This guide is originally thought for Xperia mini ST15i. But much of the content is general, and can be applied to other Xperia phones.
I've collected various stuff (tutorials, guides etc. on unlocking the bootloader, rooting, custom ROM, custom kernels, etc) in one single place for easy finding.
I tried writing this guide to the best of my knowledge. I've invested some effort in creating it, so I hope you find it useful
I've used guides and tools from other people&devs, and all the credit goes solely to them.
I'm also open to any suggestions and/ or corrections. If I miss a ROM/ kernel, let me know!
For Android newcomers:

1. [Unlocking/re-locking bootloader]
Sony Ericsson made it possible to unlock the bootloader on some Xperia phones.
Unlike my former Xperia X8, wich I hard bricked trying to unlock it
You need to have an unlocked bootloader to install cyanogenMOD, the majority of custom ROM's, custom kernels.
Follow the official guide for best results:

NOTE: This method only works if you unlocked via the official way! Do not attempt this if you unlocked via TestPoint method!
So if you wanna do it, just follow the guide

2. [Rooting/Un-rooting, ADB drivers, flashing firmware with flashtool]
Requirements/prepping:
Check your firmware by going to settings> about phone> firmware.
Look at the last set of numbers.
>You can't root .62 firmware. If you have .62 firmware, you need to downgrade it.
>4.0.2.A.0.42 & 4.0.A.2.368 firmwares are rootable. (Flashing 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware removes root).
>Download and flash .ftf file below to downgrade. How to flash firmwares is explained further down.
>You don't need unlocked bootloader for rooting.
>You need to have ADB installed (explained further down).
For rooting ICS (.431 firmware) and non-rootable .62 firmware, follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688980
It's also possible to root or download firmwares with XDA ROM Hub tool.
Flashing firmwares with flashtool:
http://androxyde.github.com/]
Install FlashTool.
Go to your flashtool folder, and place the .ftf file in the folder "firmwares".
Turn off your phone.
Now open flashtool.exe> click the thunder icon> select flashmode> adsp.sin should be selected> click ok. Wait till it asks you to connect the phone.
When it does, hold down the -DOWN- volume button while connecting, to enter flashmode (the LED should turn green).
The flashing will commence.
After that, disconnect and turn on your phone.

OR
[HOW-TO] ADB for Dummies(How-To Learner's Guide) - xda-developers
[Rooting]:
If you have a rootable firmware and installed adb drivers, you're all set.
Download this .zip file and extract it to some folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=841876&d=1325678726
from original thread:
[04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) - xda-developers
Connect your phone in USB debugging mode. To do that, go to settings> applications> development> turn on "USB debugging". Also turn on "unknown sources" in applications. You might also wanna tick "stay awake". So the screen stays on while USB connected.
Then run the runme.bat in the folder you extracted the zip.
It takes about a minute, two. If you get a positive message, then you have a rooted phone!
You can also try rooting with FlashTool.
Open FlashTool> advanced> root> force zergRush
[Un-rooting]: thanX to DooMLorD again
If you want to un-root your rooted phone, get this file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=765523&d=1319922608
from this original Thread:
[HOW-TO] Root Phones w/ Android v2.2.x-2.3.x (zergRush Method) - Page 15 - xda-developers
It's the same as the rooting process. Connect phone in USB debugging mode, turn on unknown sources, and start the process. This time you just have to confirm SU request on the phone. So you might wanna go to settings> applications> check stay awake, so the phone won't go standby during the process.
Important: If you haven't rooted your phone with the method described here (easy rooting toolkit by DooMLorD), don't use this tool!
3. [Flashing ROMs]
First thing, copy ROM zip file onto your SDcard
If your bootloader is locked, and you're on stock kernel, make sure you have CWM recovery installed (explained further down)
Start the phone. When you see the logo getting brighter, keep pressing volume DOWN until recovery menu appears.
If you have unlocked bootloader, flash a custom kernel. That way you'll have CWM. Since all custom kernels come with CWM.
Start your phone. The LED will change color to signal you to press volume DOWN in order to enter recovery.
Touchscreen doesn't work in CWM. Move trough the menu with volume keys, select with home button, go back with back touch button.
Choose factory reset, wipe cache.
In some cases if the ROM won't boot you'll need to go advanced> select wipe dalvik.
After that choose install zip from sdcard and choose ROM zip.
NOTE: I strongly suggest that you do a nandroid backup before you flash a ROM or modify the system in any way.
That way you are able to restore the system if something should go wrong.
That's it
Make sure the your kernel is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash.
For example cyanogenmod requires it's own kernel. Also GB kernels don't work with ICS/ JB and vice versa.
And make sure you're flashing a ROM that is actually intended for your device!
DO NOT make the mistake by installing a Xperia miniPRO ROM! They may SOUND similar, but they are not. If you do, hardware/touch controls may not work and bootloops may occur.
It's very tricky to repair, if possible at all.
Optional google apps download (maps, talk,gmail, synchronization etc.):

Clockwork Recovery [CWM]:
All custom kernels from the ones available for the mini have CWM.
If you don't want to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom kernel, but you have root, you can install CWM via this app on google play:
Xperia CWM Auto-Installer
Or download XDA ROM HUB
Connect your turned on phone> Select tweak my phone> install CWM

CMD command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the kernel file.
5. [FOTA (Firmware Over-the-Air) unbrick guide] thanX to [email protected]
The thing with the bootloader is that when you unlock it, you loose the ability to upgrade via Sony Ericsson PC companion/SEUS.
What happened to me is, I thought I could update firmware directly with my phone if not via PC... It downloaded the software, and restarted to install it. And that's where it froze, and went black.
I had my heart in my throat when I tried to turn it on, and it didn't respond. I thought omg there goes another phone... (I lost my X8 due to messing with it's bootloader)
So it wouldn't turn on, but when I connected it to the PC, the green light went on... what a relief LoL! It was still alive, but bricked.
So I found this FOTA unbrick guide, which did the job
If you wanna know more about FOTA, go to wikipedia> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOTA_(technology)
If something like this should happen to you, download the *.ftf file from the link.
http://www.mediafire.com/?lc7inivdvwbjpov
Turn the phone off.
Unzip the file, place the ftf file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares (or wherever you installed flashtool), open flashtool click the flash button, and click ok (don't modify anything. It will ask you to connect the phone now. Take the turned off phone, hold the volume DOWN button while connecting. the led light should turn green, which indicates you're connected in flash mode. You should see the flashing process progress now. After it's completed, disconnect your phone and turn it on

I'm also planning to move my tweak collection guide here.
It's nothing new really, but I think it's nice to have all the good things in one place

Official method is the easiest. And you can easily re-lock it later.
But they store your IMEI number. And later at service they could look that up and deny warranty.
Even though I've seen and heard many reports that ppl just re-locked bl again and sony repaired under warranty. So I'm not sure...
To do testpoint method you need to unpeel the sticker underneath the battery. So sony could se that you tampered with the sticker.
And then it's bye bye warranty. But if you do it in a way it can't be noticed.... This way they don't have you IMEI stored, and you don't loose those infamous DRM keys. TBH I don't give a rats ass about DRM It's pretty much useless. You can also re-lock it the same way.
So you're gonna have to decide. Since both methods come with pros and cons. IMO official is better, but you decide

You have to install fastboot. In the guide it says to install android SDK which contains fastboot.
If you've installed android SDK, go to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools (default install path).
Hold shift and right click in the folder, select open command window here. It'll open command prompt. Type the command....

Flash a prerooted kernel for your software version (for example rage kernel for ics or gb, depends on which rom you are currently on) and root should be there again.
To check if it's unlocked, boot phone up, type *#*#7378423#*#* -> service info -> configuration -> rooting status: bootloader unlocked: yes then you are done

Try flashing a kernel! If it flashes succesfully, bl is unlocked
Also custom kernels are pre-rooted. So you get root automagically by flashing a custom kernel.

hm. that's a very subjective matter. And everyone will tell you different.
You've got ICS and GB kernels. I find stock or Xkernel for GB the best.
For ICS I'd narrow it to MESA and PANIC kernels. Maybe eXtended kernel too because of it's batt life.
But you have to test it for yourself. You've just begun your journey

colossus.
So, due to the huge amount of threads with information for the X8 I found, I think getting the info you need is pretty confusing.
Not saying that this is THE guide for everything, but it should sum it all up nicely.
A Warning
First off, let me start by saying that if you don't think you need rooting, don't root.
It can be dangerous if done wrong, so be sure you know what you're doing.
With that out of the way, let's get going then.
Updates and Basebands
First, before you do anything else, you need to update your phone using PC Companion (download here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiax8?cc=us&lc=en). PC Companion will guide you right through all the steps for updating.
The latest version is 2.1.1.A.0.6, and the latest baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015.
You can check your version by going to Settings -> About Phone.
If you are already running a custom ROM, you should update using PC Companion too, because some roms (like MiniCM) need the latest official version.
Advanced
If you need basebands for your X8, here's a helpful thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Flash them with FlashTool.
Rooting
This is very simple to do, really.
First, download SuperOneClick (thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and place it on your desktop.
Next, on your phone, go to Settings -> Applications and enable Unknown Sources. Next, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.
You also need the proper USB drivers. To check if you have them, start SuperOneClick.exe and click Driver Check. If the driver check fails, update your phone with PC Companion.
Now, connect your USB cable from your X8 to your computer. When connected it is VERY IMPORTANT to select CHARGE PHONE. Really, I can't stress this enough.
Start SuperOneClick.exe and just click ROOT. Everything should go normally. You might get a message asking you if your OS is 2.0 or higher, just go ahead and click Yes.
You should now be rooted!
xRecovery
YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS
Installing xRecovery is the first step in the world of custom ROMs. Installing xRecovery also means if you are stuck in a bootloop, you can just recover to a working backup.
The first step is to download xRecovery mini-beta 0.1 (any other version WILL NOT work on your X8) (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8AJTKDTQ).
Next, download Root Explorer (download HERE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LGC110EX).
Copy both the xRecovery folder and the Root Explorer .apk to your SD card.
Install any file manager from the Android Market (I recommend OI File Manager or Astro) and use it to browse to the Root Explorer .apk file and install it.
Run Root Explorer, browse to the xRecovery folder and copy the 3 files inside onto the /system/bin folder.
xRecovery is installed. To start xRecovery you press the Back button while the Sony Ericsson logo is showing during boot. Restart your phone and just keep pressing the Back button.
To move around in xRecovery you use the volume buttons, to select an item you press the Home button (the middle one), and to go back you press the Back button. Go ahead and make a backup of your current system (make sure you have at least 300MB of free space on your SD card.
You'll find the backup you just made in the xRecovery/backup folder. Name it something you can identify (don't use spaces). Copy that backup onto somewhere safe on your PC.
Backups are REALLY important, don't be a lazy bum.
So, you bricked your phone.
Don't panic, don't worry, everything is going to be alright. If you have xRecovery installed, just recover the latest backup you made. That simple. If, however, you DON'T have xRecovery installed, we can still recover your dear phone, don't worry
Using PC Companion: Connect your phone to your PC and turn it on. Look around the update phone section of PC Companion for an option called "Repair your phone". Just follow the steps and your phone will be in working order pretty soon
That's about it, I'll probably add a section for custom ROMs in the future, with links to ROMs I recommend.
So, if you have any questions, feel free to post below
Custom ROMs
Alright, when it comes to custom ROMs, it's mainly personal preference. I'll list some ROMs I've tried (and recommend)
For Beginners!
If you're flashing your first custom ROM, and you want a ROM that you can use daily, miniCM is probably your best option. I have tested and can vouch for both of these ROMs.
Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM 1.0.0RC2 by ponanovn (CyanogenMod 6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
Really simple ROM, basically everything you need to get started in the custom ROM world. The fact that it has CyanogenMod 6 is kind of a disadvantage comparing to for example, Racht's or Jerpelea's ROMs (they use CyanogenMod 7).
It features dualtouch which means pinch zoom is working. To activate it, put one finger on the screen then another finger. Then spread your fingers. The SD Card safe to remove bug is finally fixed with the latest revision!
Not working: Compass isn't working, some Bluetooth headsets are bugged.
Rating: [ ]
Floyo 2.2.1 miniCM by lizypen (CyanogenMod 6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
Very easy and very smooth, a perfect ROM for beginners! Battery life is better then average, because it isn't overclocked to an extreme level. Like Ponanovn's rom, it uses CM6.
Not working: Same as ponanovn's miniCM.
Rating: [ ]
More advanced ROMs
These use CyanogenMod 7, and the reason why I say these are more advanced ROMs are that they need a little more configuration to get up and running then these miniCM roms.
Racht's HackDroid GingerBread (CyanogenMod 7): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Racht is an amazing cooker, and it really shines through in this ROM. This features GingerBread (Android 2.3.3). It's really nice, it just takes a little bit more configuration.
UPDATE 25/04: Racht updated his rom! No more SD-Card safe to remove crashes, which also means this is the most stable rom to date. Thanks Racht!
Not working: Camera.
Rating: [ ]
I'll add a review of Jerpelea's ROM when I have used it for a little longer
Time for FAQs!
Frequently Asked Questions
This section will (hopefully) answer all your questions related with the X8. If you still have any doubts, go ahead and post here, or send me a PM.
SuperOneClick is stuck at "Waiting for device"!
This is most likely caused by the lack of USB drivers for your X8. Go ahead and click Driver Check in SuperOneClick. If the window that pops up says "No issues found!" the problem is NOT your USB drivers. Otherwise, download PC Companion (which comes with the USB drivers for the X8) right here. Install PC Companion and give your PC a reboot.
I'm working on this section whenever I have time, which doesn't happen a lot, because of school.
This Guide brings you all the a list of all the ROM's floating in this forum.

I decided to make a thread for those who cannot get their X10minipro running custom ROMs and unleashing its full potential because my inbox is almost full
Summary:
-Android Dictionary
-Rooting guide
-Installing recovery
-Available ROMs for X10mini pro
-Reference for Custom Rom/Kernels
-Bootloader unlocking
-Custom Kernel installation
-A thread for queries
SO LETS GO!
If you are new to ANDROID world then you might have to give some time reading the ANDROID DICTIONARY.
CREDITS TO nico444164 FOR THE INTENSIVE THREAD
FIRST- ROOTING
-Rooting your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money (ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device. In the iPhone world, this would be the equivalent to “Jailbreaking” your phone.
For x10 mini pro there are lots of ways to root this device but I will just be displaying here the simplest way (I GUESS )
Here is what you need to do:
-fresh x10 mini pro
-USB cable
-Desktop/Laptop computer
-Super one click app
-Hands and mighty heart
Steps:
1. Download Superoneclick app FROM THIS THREAD (I recommend 1.9.5)
2. Install the app ( there are some cases that the app needs some specific drivers for it to recognize you device)
-Driver are here. CREDITS TO CLShortFuse for the excellent app.
3.Install the app to your computer. And then open it.
NOW IS THE NICE EXPERIENCE
4.On your mini pro make sure to put it in debugging mode
-To debug go to settings-->application-->development-->tick USB debugging
5. Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable
-MAKE SURE NOT TO MOUNT THE SD CARD
6.After the connection look into the superoneclick app and click "ROOT"
7.The app will run and after it finishes it will ask for testing ROOT ACCESS.
Allow it and if it says successful then WALLLLA! you mini pro is now rooted Congrats!
NEXT-RECOVERY
In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. A combination of key presses (or instructions from a command line) will boot your phone to recovery, where you can find tools to help repair (recover) your installation as well as install official OS updates. Because Android is open and has the recovery source code available, building a customized version with more and different options is relatively easy as well.
Things to do:
-mini pro
-USB cable
-Computer desktop
-xrecovery manual installer
-Root explorer app
-GUTS
Steps:
1. Download xrecovery manual installer HERE!
2. Extract the downloaded file on your desktop
3. Connect mini pro to the computer (SD mounted)
4. Copy 3 files on the root of your sd card
5. Disconnect phone
6. Locate the files on your phone using ROOT explorer
-in case you have no root explorer download it HERE!
-using root explorer you can navigate to the system folder of your phone\
7. Copy 3 files to the /system/bin/ folder
8. make sure to hit the correct permission
-correct permission is permission 777
-To change permission just long press on the files and navigate to "permissions"
PERMISSION 777
* * *
* * *
* * *
(all checkboxes should be checked)
9. after doing steps 1 to 8 WALLLLA! you now have xrecovery.
10.To check if you installed xrecovery successfully turn off your mini pro. Note: Turn if on continuously press the back button and you should be booted to the recovery console. Congrats!
for XRECOVERY CREDITS TO zdzihu
NOTE:XRECOVERY by the way is the recovery intended for x10 family only.
If you guys DO WANT to install custom ROMs which needs CWM but does not want to unlock the bootloader just to have CWM. You can check this TUT for the nice CWM installation.
(NOTE: There are some ROMs that needs CWM [not xrecovery] to be successfully installed)

INFO:
-For custom ROM installation it actually depends upon the ROM that you want. Every thread for each specific custom ROM has its own guides. MY CONTRIBUTION FOR THIS is IF AND IF IN CASE that you have problems installing such custom ROM please feel free to post questions here.
P.S. Do not PM me anymore. Im retired of giving PM support.
CUSTOM KERNEL BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING
I actually made a guide for unlocking the bootloader but now we the minipro people are so lucky to have devs who are really great and made things easier for us.
Way back from the ages one member actually said:

Here is the great tool for unlocking your bootloader.

NEXT- CUSTOM KERNEL INSTALLATION
WARNING: Install custom kernel only if the boot-loader is already unlocked. Do not install if the boot-loader is not unlocked.

Some users actually asked why do they have to have a custom kernel. Custom kernel is just like a gate to a greener place. Basic features of have custom kernel are (e.g. Undervolting UV) If you have custom kernel you are actually freeing your device from its cage.
Here's the list to have:
-Computer
-USB cable
-X10 mini pro
-Kernel file (.ftf file)(this file is available to the threads of the kernels that you want.
-xperia flash tool
-Hands and HEART!
Steps:
1. Download the files that are needed ( e.g flashtool and .ftf file)
-You can get the flashtool from HERE! (the tool is capable of many things like flashing kernels and firmwares) CREDITS TO[/B] Bin4ry and Androxyde for the nice tools
-I highly recommend the latest version of the flashtool. Or if you wanted to be sure what flashtool you need to use just use the flashtool which was tested to be working on mini pro. GET IT HERE!
NOTE: You need to install first the flashtool 0.8.0.0 package before installing the latest version.
-With regards to the .ftf file (kernel) you can get it from the thread of some available kernels for mini pro ( in my case I use nAa's work)
2.Install the downloaded flashtool to your computer
3.After the installation the flashtool will automatically create a directory
-c:/flashtool/firmwares and c:/flashtool/drivers
4.You need to go to c:/flashtool/drivers and double click there ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe (those are drivers for the flashtool)
5.After installing drivers you need to put the kernel (.ftf file) to c:/flashtool/firmwares. The reason for this is for the flashtool to automatically detect the file during the flashing.
6. Open the flashtool program and you should see this.

}
7.Click the lightning sign (flash) and then you should see this.
8.Choose the file that you put to the c:/flashtool/firmwares directory [it should have (U20i) on the first part]
9.Click OK
10.Now leave the program and start connecting the USB cable FIRST on your computer then next HOLD the back button of your mini pro (NOTE: HOLD IT TIGHTLY) and then connect the USB cable to your mini pro.
11.The flashtool will automatically detect the mini pro YES IT WILL because of the drivers you installed a while ago.
12.You need to make sure that you keep an eye of the flashtool
13.After the flashing, disconnect your phone and turn it on.
14.I KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL FROM THIS MOMENT. NERVOUS ! hahaha!
15.Mate that is fine, the booting process will take long because I think the system is remaking its cache.
16. After doing all the steps WALLLLA! you just installed a custom kernel! CONGRATS!
17.To check if you successfully installed the kernel go to settings-->about phone and see there your kernel version.

No, the steps to take to root, install recovery, flash and so on are the same for both devices, but the kernels and roms listed are ONLY for the x10MiniPRO.
For the X10 you can look in the x10-Mini development section.
Only 3 custom kernels to choose from (Fa Kernel, nAa-kernel for Gingerbread and nAa-kernel for ICS)
All Gingerbread-Roms for the X10Mini require a custom kernel (Either Fa-kernel or nAa-GB kernel)
The AOKP and MIUI4 ports for the X10Mini are ICS based but run on the nAa-GB Kernel
MiniCM9 which is ICS-based only runs on the nAa-ICS kernel.
So, apart from choosing the roms and kernels for the x10mini yourself, you can follow all other steps in this tutorial.
i tried to root. when i click root. the program freezes after some steps and then nothing! what shall i do?
.NET framework checked!

I think CWM is included in the kernels, not in the ROMS, you will still need Xrecovery or CWM to install a custom rom in the first place

Thats what you thought. heheeh..
on the earlier age of x10 MP cwm is present just by installing custom ROM even without custom kernel
before we were able to use CWM without any custom kernel.
for thoses who want to only install rom using custom kernel don't need to install a recovery

yes you are correct mate
Root is required!!! (How to root guide is included)
The rooting guide is ONLY for XPERIA sole, and so the ROM. The .ZIPs may work in other XPERIAs, too. DON'T try to use these kernels in OTHER phones, most likely you will get BRICKED... Noob friendly guides...
I'm NOT RESPONSIBLE for ANY DAMAGE done in your phone. By ROOTing, you have already VOIDED the guarantee. Unlocking the BOOTLOADER also voids the guarantee, but there is no way to relock it if there is no backup. So, make sure to backup your TA Partition, in order to restore it in case of emergency (guide included). ALWAYS make BACKUPS before you do ANYTHING!!! By following most of the guides, all your data will be lost. BACKUPS!!!
I'm NOT the OWNER or the CREATOR of (nearly) any file. This is just a collection of useful mods and guides. The files are UNTOUCHED and got only renamed.
Most credits are included. Many thanks to xda-developers forum, and to all the developers who worked hard, in order to make our smartphones better.

Camera 4.3 Patch is made only for stock and it replaces the 4.2 or vice versa. I dont know what will happen with MIUI.
1) Firstly, I will suggest "Dont try".
2) Secondly, if you still want to "Try at your own risk" after taking nandroid backup
3) Do whatever you want to man, coz phones do not explode on faces for any misadventure.

Sorry for late reply. Google play store in stock is from original stock (Oct or Nov 2013) and when you flash rom and connect internet, the play store should get updated automatically. This is tweaked Factory Stock and not a custom rom which are updated on regular basis.
I have made this for
(1) users who want to restore to original stock in case of brick or bootloop and may be who lost recovery too in worst case scenario (sptools version)
(2) users who want to use original stock but with great tweaks I have implemented. (cwm version)
(3) devs who want to use a good build of stock for making custom roms or porting.
Hi, an absolute newbie here looking for custom ROMs for my Canvas A116 and your ROM looks like the best option. I had a couple of questions:
1. By "Stock ROM" do you mean it is the pure Google Android found on their Nexus devices? If not, are there any such ROMs for my device?
2. By "Working OTA Update" do you mean I can get future versions of Android (like Kitkat) OTA?
Thanks!

Could you please clarify further?
1. I don't want "Nexus Style", rather a pure Android experience (AOSP) without any OEM customization. Simply put, I want the Google Nexus experience on my Micromax device. I will check out "Oppo R819", I remember reading that Oppo is pure Android.
2. Are the updates pushed by the dev of this ROM or by Google itself?
Thanks for your responses.

Could you please clarify further?
1. I don't want "Nexus Style", rather a pure Android experience (AOSP) without any OEM customization. Simply put, I want the Google Nexus experience on my Micromax device. I will check out "Oppo R819", I remember reading that Oppo is pure Android.
2. Are the updates pushed by the dev of this ROM or by Google itself?
Thanks for your responses.

1) BTW I have just released the amazing fast and smoother Final Version of SuperLuminalDAD rom and its a heavily tweaked and tested bugless version of of a rom based on AOSP rom from other model. The rom is very lightweight and all craps are removed.
Don't only think about looks, consider features also. Custom roms are made to work smoother, faster, no-lags, double triple time battery backup. All these features are "always" missing in stock roms. Some stock roms even force close with many apps installed but they work without problem in custom roms.
We don't know what is in your mind (may be you are still scared to flash as you said you are "absolute" newbie). By any chance if you make a mind to flash any other rom then its best to know its features first and if you like them flash and experience them. Otherwise you can go back to stock.
2) This thread is exact copy of factory stock roms of A116 from Micromax (not Google) and OTA comes always from Manufacturer of your Rom based on its hardware configuration.
Why GOOGLE will send OTA for 4,915,298,928 models of phones all over the world from various manufacturers? Google only sends OTA for its own Nexus series and few nexus models from LG, etc.
PS: When anyone mentions "Factory Stock Rom" in xda, generally he/she means the Official Rom from manufacturer of the exact model of the phone and not google.

1. Your SLD ROM looks great, I think I'll go for that. Dunno why I didn't see it before, it was right there in your signature BTW, I noticed it doesn't have the OTA feature, so when you release the next version of SLD, will I have to re-flash my device?
2. "Why GOOGLE will send OTA for 4,915,298,928 models of phones all over the world from various manufacturers?" :laugh:
Now that you mention it, it seems so obvious. I had this impression that Google puts out Android releases, OEMs put their crapware on top of it and make some UI changes and release it to us. So, I was looking for a ROM which will give me the latest Android version directly from Google... my mistake.
Thanks again for your responses.

@shishirdbhat I am glad you asked questions. Many good people like @bharat_goku here are keen to answer questions and help new pals. Thanks to all.
1) SLD is like a base for everyone, from minimum user to heavy app users. Lots of free memory and longest battery backup. It doesn't have OTA feature, but now the Final version is released, there will be very few occassional updates and not any major one. I provide small flashable zip updates, which you can flash when you want to. Otherwise this is perfectly worked out version. If you try it, leave feedback.in SLD thread, NOT HERE.
2) Android is Open Source Project (AOSP) by Google and other manufacturers use it with various hardware customizations of their various models with FLASHY UIs and thousand other things on their own. Manufacturers like Samsung are successful for their unique UI and added features. You will learn a lot from various people on xda. Just keep visiting. Good Luck.
Installed the tweaked a116i....its really stable and lite. Touch is also quite responsive. Just one query I have if we can increase the sound abit more. Before this rom i was using the xperia rom and the sound was amazing. Keep up the gr8 work. Cheers:thumbup:

There is an option in Developers Mode, to increase a volume little bit than normal. But it should be done carefully. With wrong settings there is risk of blowing the speaker. In tweaked version the sound is pretty clear and marginally better than normal. Still we can't expect the LOUDEST volume like unbranded chinese phones from branded chinese phones

Guys replace both the updater-script and aroma-config. Look into Enigma download section. (FIX SCRIPT(only for Enigma 7.3). It will fix your problem. :good:
Cheers

Swiftkey Emoijs doesn`t work on Enigma 7.3 (Xperia P)
:Hello everyone,
i have flashed the Enigma Rom since version 6.3 and i`m still very happy. Great job from the devs...Thank you...
But there is a little bug with the Enigma 7.3. i cannot use the emoijs in swiftkey. that`s not a big problem for me, but it was great when everyone have a solution for me.
i have made a clean install with all wipes . all works great, but the only one is with emoijs in swiftkey.
Edit: I have solved the problem by flashing a keyboard with emojis for my device and then it works also fine in swiftkey

The swipe screen
I hate it alot because when I set another lock screen option in the Settings its basically a double lock screen. I know its not a bug but is there any way of turning it off?
Fabulous ROM

Please let it get perfect!!
I particularly like the small tool and power toggle function in v6.5 ROM...
Really highly appreciate nicolassp making this fantastic ROM!!!
