I have successfully rooted my Sony Xperia LwW (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) using the DoomLord method. Everything is great. I can remove some stock Bloatware or apps that i don't use (using Root Explorer) & i did remove quite some apks. Although i had paid heed to some good advise to store the junk & not delete it. Hence i was moving the apks from /system/app/ to my sd card just to be safe.
The issues arised a little later.
1) My calendar widget that was showing Facebook synced Birthdays is now left completely Blank. I did try googling the issue but no solution. I correctly remember not having touched the FB Calendar sync apk. i also tried to check Xperia FB integration which is ON in performance assistant (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) but still the issue remains.
2) The WALKMAN app lost all the library i.e. my Music. I had it updated in a while but it only updated from the Music folder on the SD card & not the Bluetooth & Downloads folder. i'm still clueless.
3) The Performance Assistant App that handles the FB Integration Force Closes on me.
There might be more issues but i'll post them as i find them during my use. My phone is in a working condition alongwith the issues. I hope Rooting is not a SIN. But there just might be some speed bumps on the way. So please assist me in any way you can. :good:
FYI: I'm a 90-95 % NooB so please be a little elaborative in your suggestions (if any on my problem). I'll update every info from my side.
Thanks. Peace Out.
i think you remove some part of them
try re-flash your firmware and root again , and be careful if you want to remove system application ,
ora maybe you can write down here every app that you've deleted , so we know whether they're important or not
App List
Here's the list of apps that i've moved. (in screenshots)

Looking at your screenshots that isn't what you've done if you've just moved the apks, if you not uninstalled or froze then you've left a lot of stuff on your Phone, so best advise is to reflash the ROM, root, install Titanium Backup or similar and freeze the apps, although tbh I would just uninstall all those in your screenshots.
Thanks for the Heads up !!

Thanks for the heads up. I installed an app yesterday called NoBloat Free from the play store. The reviews were good so i gave it a shot. Interestingly in the list of System Apps in NoBloat i did not find the apps i moved. So i believe the apps are indeed out of question.
Another thing i tried regarding my Library issue was to format my sd card (read it on Sony's Forum) and then copy all the content back to my phone. The thing worked but the media gallery backfired. My screenshots that i posted above are no more in my gallery. But when i viewed it from Astro File manager, they were there.
Could my sd card be a villain for all my problems ?
I guess performance assistance app has a connection with AppEnabler.apk
try this...

you are not supposed to fiddle with system unless you have a nandroid backup..
ok try this,i m not sure it might work...:fingers-crossed:
restore app enabler,3 fb apps,mediawidget,setupwizard and track id and then fix permissions,then reboot your phone..
btw can u tell me in detail how u rooted?,u downgraded,rooted and then upgraded right?,or you followed some other method?...post the link...

I believe it is just a change of name. When the OS is running the app is listed in the menu as performance assistance while in the /system/app it is called app enabler. Well that is from sony guys to help pace up the phone. So it is of little concern to me.

Here's the rooting link. Followed it point to point & successfully rooted:
Xperia 2011 Rooting Guide
Great actually but sometimes i think i messed up my phone.
Another weird thing happening is that my Wi-Fi when enabled on my phone does not connect to my router (although it has saved my router SSID & password). i have to go to airplane mod then disable airplane mode & then the Wi-Fi connects to the router. ANY INSIGHTS ?
Calendar Restored !!!
The app enabler didn't help... right !! So i went to Settings > Xperia > Facebook integration & kicked started the Calendar sync & VOILA its on track. So 1 problem less.
u can apply a walkman mod. it will solve issues with the walkman

hi guys, well to cut it short my market isnt downloading, one of the users "GHIDDA" put forward the suggestion that i have activated a bug in market (infinity downloading at 0 KB or ETERNAL DOWNLOADING) by removing gtalk130 or chat1.6,
ive checked my apps and dont have chat1.6, it was suggested that i flash my rom, i know how to flash but what i need is some pointers on the ROM required and if some of the excellent brains on here could tell me more i would be bloody grateful lol

i have reflashed m8, a few times, still keeps happening, i reckon its down to either the vending or the talk apps that i might have deleted using root explorer, dont know if you can restore things from system or the data folder????
Can you list the google apps that you have left installed? Do you have IM?
google apps
google apps 1.3
google mail 1.3
google mail storage 1.6
google partner setup 1.6
google search (enhanced) 1.6
google search 1.6
google setting provider 1.6
google talk 1.3
google talk service 1.3
IM 1.6
Interesting... All google apps are there.. Hmm...
When you flashed you handset what firmware did you use? And from where did you download it?
Go to this post by Grospolina:

Download the pack and flash that firmware.
Dont use titanium backup to restore any settings..
sweet
one of the old ones going from rf16 through step 2 then 3 to give r2ba023 then step 3 to root, originally had uk gen r2ba026 unrooted, used x10 root to root installed titanium and root explorer, went OTT with the delete and browsing through allsorts of folders, deleting what i thought was useless (inc things in data and app and delvic so it might be down to a missing file or something from them perhaps.....im a effin newbie hence FNG) hard reset got what i thought was a great looking simplified phone and aaarrrggghhh market not working, which was weird as i had rooted and restored a few times as i kept making mistakes and market was working as i had to download ASTRO to install the x10root.apk, but after a last restore it just stopped working.........................hence im a DUNCE
aaaarrrggghhhhh
went through the process, 1-3 but my market still wont download, does changing google matter, i created a new one yesterday
Vodaphone rom
If anyone knows where i can get a stock uk vodaphone rom for flashing i would be grateful, i have the two original files from when i debranded but as far as im aware that cant be done anymore.................................................

Is the problem that you can't download apps from the market, and it just hangs on 'download starting', or something like that?
If so, just open Google talk, and wait for it to sign in (with an active internet connection), and the download(s) should start.
It's a common problem - just have a look here:
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
I hope that this solves the problem, as it did for me.
Good luck!
Internet
do you mean wi-fi, 3g or with browser?
what would happen
what would happen if i installed a rooted firmware and then removed all the google apps and even market, and removed all files and traces associated with them from system or data and then cleaned all my caches? just incase it has something to do with a file error/virus or bug, would seus be able to replace all missing elements in a reinstall, or to simplify can i erase nearly everything and get seus to repair?
Please read before going mad...............
hi peeps, just a quick update,google recently changes from GOOGLEMAIL.COM to GMAIL.COM..........anyone facing problems with sticky downloads should go to google via your PC and change your email to GMAIL (THERES A LINK TO DO THIS SUPER FAST, INSTANT CHANGE< dont worry you can still get your mail from your googlemail.com name)now go offline, pick up your phone turn on etc, go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPS/GOOGLE APPS and then press clear data to wipe, go back to menu press GOOGLE TALK and sign in with your GMAIL.COM ID........voila market works again the way it should, it must be a bug caused by the change by google recently.....but now its GOOOONE....thanks and good luck peeple
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini.
With a custom rom MiniCM7.
I have that rom for quite some time and liked it a lot.
Although today my apps that I installed are all gone.
Also the market place.
I tried to reinstall the market place but it doesnt appears.
When I look at my app list I see the app "com.android.vending" what is the market place if I am right.
Although I can't unstall it or open it (it also doesnt display the market icon).
How can I unstall or reinstall the market.
Please help, my phone is nothing without apps
Thanks for advance!
When I reboot my phone in recovery.
I can go to "backup and restore".
Then I click on "Advance Restore".
Then I press on the date when I installed my custom rom.
I have the following options:
Restore boot
Restore system
Restore data
Restore cache
Restore sd-ext
Will one of those restores help to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible that you switched SD card? Maybe all the apps were moved there automatically by Cyanogen?

Well how will I be able to get root explorer without the market on my mobile?
I downloaded the market .apk file.
When I open it my phone is going to reboot (happens at the moment he tries to install it).
Also for the root explorer you need to pay, is there also some free one?
Or is it also able to do it from my PC (while my mobile is connected with USB)?

I haven't switched from SD card since I using the custom rom.
When I look at the application list and search for "com.android.vending" i see it with a dark gray android icon (not the market icon).
Within that icon also at the bottom right a smaller icon with standing "SD" on.
The application takes 204kB.
With a Cache of 4.99Mb that I cant clear.
I already tried to put my SD card out and in again.
Although my SD card seems to work fine, I can find all my pictures, music, etc on it.
EDIT:
I seem to still have version: MiniCM7-2.1.1
While there is already a version: MiniCM7-2.1.4
Would it solve the problem if I update the version by using the recovery?
So also again a "wipe data/factory reset".
Then "apply update from sdcard".
And after that Flash gapps.
Will this maybe solve the poblem?
Alright I solved it.
I updated the kernel from nAa-3 to nAa-6.
I also updated the ROM from CM7-2.1.1 to CM7-2.1.4 into recovery (so also "wipe data/factory reset").
And then it all was solved.
I want to thank you two guys for your time, and yes I pressed the thanks button at both of u
Greetings,

I had exactly the same problem, apparently CM moved all my apps to SD with me asking. It does so automatically.. See my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361073
I just can find anything that will work for me, tried everything, but it appears that GingerDX 12 is the most stable and fastest for me.
With all due respect to the developers, sometimes it seems that with every new release about the same amount of bugs are introduced as fixed..
Glad you got eyerything running...
Anyways Here's the direct link for root explorer and its free :

And another problem is my bluetooth doesn't turn on, I am switching it on...it says turning on bluetooth, but never turns on....

Download official Facebook app.
Go to settings/applications/all apps/Bluetooth/ press "clear data"
It should be fine, if it didn't helped try blue FTP app from market.
Last solution is flashing stock frimware (as you said "deleted some apps", so factory reset won't work properly)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574185
Just install a cwm recovery.& place Donald HD in sdcard
Then boot to recovery, press backup & restore/backup then wait for recovery to finish with creating backup point
then go to main screen of recovery & press full wipe /factory reset (contacts , SMS , calendar entries ,save of apps & games will delete so create backups)
Then press install zip
Navigate to where you placed the rom & click to install
That's it , enjoy.
PS,do not remove backup in clock work mod folder of your SD, & copy it to your PC, just in case anything goes wrong you can easily switch to stock.

I had v10e stock. Worked good.
Then rooted to 10a and updated with a cwm backup 10h.
And gps didnt work.... not that i use it alot but yeah sucks.... something i need it.
So cwm backups arent that great. Is cool but yeah. Costum roms are better. Still waiting for one.
Re: why gps doesnr work? just keep on searching..
Maybe the app you are using is the problem. Remove it, reboot then reinstall.
If this didn't solve it, do a reset. This will solve all your problems but before doubt this, user the stock backup app to backup your settings,sms and calls, home screen widgets, pre installed apps to sd card. but don't backup your downloaded apps.

So you are still using ics. Can you please extract the power control widget .apk from your rom? And send it to me? I lost it. Together with the .odex file.
If your can of course.

I was never a fan of sense, and if I would knew what is that when I bought the phone, I would have different phone now.
But, I made a version based on HTC T328W European ROM 1.73.401.4, with less sense possible without breaking HTC system.
FEATURES
- I integrated the new SOLO Launcher Free, which is very good.
- I replaced a lot of apps with better ones
- I let sense 4 lockscreen in place because I like to see who is calling before answering, and also it's not unlocking automaticaly when receive a call like a third party lockscreen - but you are free to replace this with what you want.
- I integrated Sony Bravia Engine 2 and Xloud.
- I aplied Supercharger and init.d from my other ROM.
- and many other things...
The ROM is optimized, zipaligned, odexed or deodexed at your choice.
Untill now, the ROM is very fast, stable and smooth, and it seems to be more friendly with battery. I didn't see any bugs. If you do, please tell me to solve them.
INSTALLATION
To install, it's the same procedure you know:
Connect your sdcard to computer with a sdcard adapter, or in recovery with USB Mount, and delete these folders:
.android-secure
Android
LOST DIR

Click to collapse
Copy this ROM zip to sdcard. Reinsert sdcard in your phone.
1. boot in bootloader (from shutt down mode, press vol down and briefly the power button at the same time and keep pressing vol down untill bootloader starts and then press power again to enter in fastboot)
2. connect your phone to computer
3. flash recovery [fastboot flash recovery maxrecovery6.img] - if you don't have a custom recovery, or if you want to try one of my versions
4. flash boot [fastboot flash boot desenboot.img] -see attachments (if you are running european version, you don't need to do that)
5. press power to return to bootloader
6. press vol down to select recovery and then press power - the phone will reboot in recovery.
7. Go advanced - wipe Dalvik cache, confirm
8. Go back, and then wipe all data/factory reset
9. Install zip from sdcard
10. choose ROM zip and confirm install
11. Wait, it will take some time
12. After install finished, reboot phone
First boot will last a litle bit longer (more minutes if your sdcard has a lower class).
After phone start, in first home screen, press home buton to start Settings phone wizard (you will see a home sign in notifications bar - that's what it means); if you don't want to do that you can't enter to your phone. The settings wizard is the classic one from htc. After that, you will figure out what to do
Enjoy!
DOWNLOADS - version 4 updated
1. Deodexed version - only app folder
2. Version with Gapps included
UPDATES:
Rebuilded ROM, removed buggy apps, slimed without gapps. These can be flashed separately if you need them. Also gapps zip will replace the calendar with stock one.
QUICK TIP:
If you like to customize the ROM, and after that to odex it, it's easy.
Download the deodexed version, flash it, remove apps you don't need, add apps you want. At this part, stay away from HTC apps, they are already striped out at maxim.
Then connect the phone to PC in charging mode, open a command prompt terminal where do you have adb installed and type:
Code:
Code:
adb remount <Enter> (this will start adb server and remount your phone system - you should see 'remount succeeded')
adb shell <Enter> (you enter in phone root shell)
dexo <Enter> (and wait for the phone to restart - it will take up to 2 min)
The odexer method is developed by tommytomatoe and presented here.
You only have to do what I wrote, the ROM is already prepared for that, and all my ROMs are.
If you choose to try this ROM, I assume that you know what you are doing, and I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
Thanks for this rom. I was actually waiting to see our phone senseless and you did it. Installed this morning, RAM management seems to be great.

Yes, the ram works well. I don't use google apps, and my top ram usage is around 280Mb, but average 180 Mb.
Now I'm preparing a version two, with some improvements.
You're welcome!
Well, i can see that Version2. Can you share what are the changes? I can see new camera, gallery app.

Well, I updated Launcher to last version, which is even better, changed camera, clock, gallery, and I added Personalize back for easy wallpaper change. I removed HTC locations which keeps to give install error, and I let only Google locations and maps.
I thought to change launcher, but after testing nova free, I came to conclusion that solo is better: low memory usage, more features (like unread counts for calls and sms - in nova these are paid); the only thing I notice in solo launcher that could make me to change it is that you can not fill a screen with shortcut because it will have lag, but you can put them in a folder instead, and open with one touch with no lag.
And I did a few other improvements.
By the way, in this ROM you can see bravia engine at work (no artifacts on white surfaces, better photo, images, videos), but also xloud - now in music listening I have to reduce volume to be confortable. But, best part is that the battery consumption is normal. When I tested those features on my other ROM with sense 5 skin, it drain 10% only in settings. I think, if I remove those parts from this ROM, the battery will last even longer, but they are to good to remove them.

I forgat to mention that, is the new GoogleCalendar, and it has some trouble with synchronization and new events. I will release until tomorrow a patch to replace this and camera. I will replace it with aCalendar free which is very good and will automate synchronize all events and birthdays from contacts.
I'm sorry for this bugs, I tried to match Jellybean appearance, and this calendar and camera was the closest thing, but seems to not be compatible with ICS.
Thank you for suggestions!
Ok, thank you for your amazing ROM ! GPS is work very-very quickly !!!!!!

Dear Carliv ! I try your patch for odexed firmware, but it still remains a problem with the calendar...
Also, the app itself the calendar disappeared after applying the patch, tried to put an analogue of the store, but it did not solve the problem.

It's supposed to disapear, the calendar, because the new one it's called aCalendar. If you still have the icon, you should clear it manualy, as I said before. And in this new one, in menu you have multiple options, between them synchronize. But, with what do you want to synchronize? with google calendar online?

That will be a little bit hard to do. Baidu develop their ROM like an "ecosystem", almost all proprietary apps are interconected and have references in framework too. I took a look at java classes from Baidu framework and I found that. But you can try one from lewaos, they seems to be similar.
Yes, it is interested in a complete two-way synchronization of events with Google.
Unfortunately, as I understand it - aCalendar not support full synchronization with Google.

I understand. I can't test this calendar for that, but you can check this page http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12823/synchronize-with-multiple-calendars. They show you how to syncronize a calendar with google, and even this one, aCalendar.
I hope it will help you.
--------------------------
Also, you can uninstall aCalendar with ESFile Manager as Root Explorer (don't forget to delete aCalendar.odex from system/app after that), and you can copy HTC Calendar, named Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from a stock ROM to /system/app, change permissions to rw--r--r--, reboot to recovery and delete dalvik cache, restart. That if stock calendar worked for you. I attached the files you need if you want to do that. I don't put widget too, because widget only work with sense.
Dear Carliv!
Is it possible that the standard calendar could work for your excellent firmware??

Wait, I found out why it didn't worked. Download attached zip. Unpack and copy all those apps in system/app, clear dalvik cache in recovery, and it should work now with every calendar.
I don't use gapps, and that's the reason I cut that part from it.
