The 4 icon holders in the corners? Is It possible to remove?
Please answer xperia mini users Thanks in advance!
Yes! That why I rooted my SK17! I really hate those corners. To delete them yo need AT LEAST Root and a good file explorer, ClockworkMod (CWM) it's a must If you want to modify your phone.

Where can i find the xperia x8 2.1 sony launcher?
i cant find it... maybe some of you can provide me it
Tnx
wat u mean with sony x8 launcher?? its eclair original home launcher u talking about ??
the four corner xperia 2.1 launcher
or the eclair is good too.. but no more than the stock launcher
I don't think that there is something like that. If u want it so much just use the stock rom I will search a bit now and I will post soon.
Edit: no there is no stock launcher of SE. So u only have to use to 2.1 stock rom to have it

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...

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.

Thanks in advance.

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

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?

if you format your phone using Sony's reset settings you won't loose the root.
but if you flash the whole new rom then it will be unroot.
and no,formatting your phone won't harm it.
thanks bro ... and bro what app should i install for my root xperia to gain all the best features ?????

SetCpu app to save some battery, switch mode from preformance to ondemanded it actually helps a bit.
ScreenshotER app for taking screens on your device.
Market Helper app that can make your rooted device look like a completely different phone.
Root Explorer app, this one could be already installed with the root, if not u should download it.
ROM Manager app for flashing any zip on your phone.
AdFree app for blocking ads and speeding up your browser
Call Blocker app for blocking calls you don't want to be bothered by
At least these was my favorites on my old rooted device.
Install on your own risk good luck
hello guyz, i'm on Enigma v6.1 rom and Honami dark apps are used in it for messaging, contact, dialer, keyboard.
i love the rom although i don't like these honami apps (they are slow as compared to stock one's).

I disistallato the home with titanium backup and now when I turn on my phone I only have the black screen where I can not do anything.
The phone has root permissions, however, it is not unlocked and I can not install a rom.
I, however, the recovery function which flash a home in zip format.
On the Internet, however, not been able to find home zip.
If someone had the good will of a zipparmi zipme and send it home with him would be very grateful.
