[Q] Xperia Pro issue - mounting external sd best kernel + rom - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi guys,
sorry for cross-posting (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/help/xperia-pro-issue-mount-sd-ext-t2826503) but
my phone is becoming unstable because of very low free space/memory available
and did not receive answers.
Thank you very much!
Hi eXperts,
last month I flashed the great Ultimate HD rom, so stable and now my wonderful Xperia pro is much faster
Before to do that anyway I used Mount2SD app to get my external sd mounted and solve, in this way,
common issue about "memory unavailable" and similars when I tried to add or update an app.
Now , Mount2SD is no more working, with no log entries, even if detailed debug verbose is enabled; first
I was thinking there is issue with Init.d support... But it sounds strange because before UHD I used the original stock rom by sony,
rooted of course, and furthermore I checked with a tool (embedded inside universal Init.d) and it shows me that Init.d support
is green and working....
So, looking beyond, my question is how to definitively solve this issue, changing kernel or something else
and give my phone support to mounting external sd native. Which kernel may I flash ? Working together with UHD?
Fast?
My phone is mk16i and must keep physical keyboard working, cwm, rooted.
Will this operation break my current configuration in terms of installed apps and so on?
My Xperia pro is unlocked bootloader.
Thank you very much in advance!!

1. Try flashing stock GB/ICS
2. Try using a different sd card
That's basically all you can do. If you're doing everything right (flashing and wiping accordingly) and it still doesn't work, it's definitely a hardware problem. Then you'll need to pin point what is causing the problem.As I recall you said that your sd card works properly? Can you can copy/move stuff from and to it, view all the media you have on it without problems?

Hi Grof,
flashing stock GB/ICS does not help. I use stock kernel since the beginning... and no stock kernel
is able to mount sd-ext file system in order to use sd as a natural extension of internal memory.
As I wrote in the beginning I already reached out result I want, using Mount2Sd with stock kernel but now
I want to solve with a new full featured and modded kernel that embeds useful functionality just like CWM and
of course internal memory extension using sd-ext filesystem..
That's the point.
My sd card is perfect, nothing to complain and working like a charm! I "only" need the first part.
Regards

If I get what you are saying, you just want someone to recommend you a custom kernel that has sd-ext support? Have you tried the latest LX CM11 ROM and kernel? Almost all custom kernels support ext4, it's just a matter of preference.
Sorry if I missed your point, hope I haven't misunderstood you.

Great! That's the point :good:
Now, I did not try LX CM11 ROM because I did not know which was the best ROM and Kernel for my mk16i and so
reading different threads I decided to install Ultimate HD ROM.
That's a good ROM but I did not know which kernel associate because it was not indicated in its dedicated thread
and furthermore, mk16i is a really specific smartphone with physical keyboard so I did not want to loose some important feature.
I will try to look at LX CM11 ROM but are you able to suggest a good kernel for my current ROM ?
I am honest, if possible I would not want to install all apps from the beginning... but if the reward is sensible, well I will do!
Thanks

Asking for and suggesting best kernel/ROM is not allowed on xda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969555
You'll just have to test them out yourself. You should check UHD ROM thread to see which kernels are compatible with that ROM. All CM ROMs have kernels inside the zip (boot.img). Hope you'll find what you are looking for!

Hi, I know the rules.
I am asking if you can help me understand which ROM is ready for UHD cause, of course, I already read the post and found
different suggestions but regarding other models. That's the point, because Xperia Pro is a particular phone with physical keyboard for e.g.
and also looking at different kernels inside its dedicated thread I was not able to understand which kernel is already developed
and patched on ICS and there is features matrix.
Finally I need to know if, installing selected kernel, I will loose something or not
I am not interested and I am not asking "which is the best rom for my phone ?"
Bye

Next time use search functions on forums before posting like these.
There are threads regarding multitouch development. As of now we don't have this feature yet.
When playing angry birds, I don't use two fingers to play. I can play with single touch with no problems though lol.
Overclocking, use ROMs developed neither by owain94, slade 87, D4rKn3sSyS. Not all custom ROMs have major bugs. The said developers created custom ROMs we can use daily.
or once again use the search function to search on how you can overclock your phone without installing custom ROMs.
Lastly, don't forget those people who created ROMs that you will be using

I'm just telling no need to say sorry lol. I'm just a regular user of their custom ROM too lol. XD
Hmm. Before we customize our ROM we need to know first what's the requirements. What ROMS did you use? And what are your kernel version, android version and build number? You said you're on stock ROMs at the moment right? please do correct me if I'm wrong. xD
ok man thats clear
i followed the instruction every once i install rom i tried
MiniCM6-1.0.0
xCyanogenMini 7
and others i didnt remeber
but alway have so many reboots
i have now
2.1 update 1
m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015
2.1.1.a.0.6
hmm call me noob but uhh, your phone's a mini pro?
MiniCM6-1.0.0
I think the problem is that you are using ROMs which is only made for xperia mini. That's why you're getting a lot of bugs.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Currently I use slades87 work, and its xCyanogen6 for mini pro. It works perfectly for me. Why won't you try that? The infos you gave me suited it actually.
no sir my phone is x10 mini not pro
what's are the exact problems that you are experiencing?
did you do a factory reset before installing the rom?
-factory reset
-wipe stats wipe dalvik-cache
-wipe cache
then try installing custom rom.
do you still have xrecovery installed?
open the zip file of your rom you want to flash with winrar
browse to /system/lib/modules/
highlight x8oc.ko and hit delete
copy zip to your sd again
reflash
be happy
Why need to do this??
Can I do in running room?

This is only if you have reboots, cuz if you have still reboots on froyo rom, you SHOULD delete overclock module !
x8oc.ko - this module can overclocks Your phone. Overclocking means that it's CPU runs faster than it is for. It is working for someones and do not work for others (!). Could bring dangerous unstableness, reboots.
Wise advice to delete it, but I can't understand why overclock a modROM by default? (if this is the case)

i've installed a few roms for my mini pro, they came with the max clock at 600mhz, only the overclocked version of slade87 MiniCM came with the max clock at 710 mhz. i don't know any rom for mini (not pro), but i think it should be similar

I really want to help but unfortunately i don't know what to help you on:
But:
1: Did you install the ROM/kernel properly?
2: Did you try re-installing?
3: Did you try flashing stock firmware than Wolfbreak's ROM.
4. Did it work on stock kernel?
5. DID YOU MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOADED THE RIGHT 3.60 KERNEL BECAUSE GORO PUT THE WRONG LINK? (oops caps)
Download the goro kernel again and flash it HERE
Hope this helps
Hello thank you for your reponse, indeed I tried some thing, and with the good kernel .
I have try:
- to make a fresh instalation of bb.67 and of the ROM tw008, then of the custom kernel 360 (by trying all the camera resolution, and play on frequence cpu, anything has to make its not working). I have not try to make a fresh installation of firmware via SEUS (I try it now!!)
-Camera is completely functional with the stock kernel , with z's custom kernel (22,23,05) and with custom kernel 3.47 when i was on tw7 bb52, but I prefere the ck 360 for the underclock and bb.67
- with and without the theme which I use
And camera make always her tantrums
Well I try the fraiche installation firmware and I informed
Works fine for me and everyone else using it...
Must be something you're doing
Just for information if it can help to resolve the problem, when I takes a photo the image gallery makes an black screen and when I want to pass in video mode the application makes a sudden closure
always similar after a full fresh installation of all.... i don't know what's the problem. i think i will wait a future kernel with underclocking and stay with z's kernel for the moment ,but if anyone got a idea or question about situation ...

you might be flashing the wrong version of the kernel for your rom....
it's strange because all working fine, just this problem with camera . i trying to reorganize my sd card she's in a mess... maybe it's the cause of my problem.
some opinion?
I don't think its related to the rom or custom kernel. I've had this problem on some of the custom roms I've tried. What ultimately fixed it for me is by formatting the sd card so make a backup of your entire sd card then format it.

Good news,
my problem is resolved. Yesterday evening I completely cleaned my card sd then I left the telephone have it reconfiguré. I remake fresh installation rom tw008 and of the custom kernel 360 and hop all work fine. I think that the problem came because I tested several applications camera,background which created several files for photos,images, because which never clean .i am finally going to be able to take advantage of quite its hey hey.
Thx all to be interested in you has my case and sorry for my bad english

[SOLVED] Few questions/inquiries after root and unlocked bootloader

I am using Xperia Mini Pro SK17i rooted and bootloader unlocked working with stock kernel & stock ROM ICS .587... I have read some topics and threads but I am still a noob and I want to know some specific answers for the below questions if you can help me guys and I am sure that it is not only me who needs to know these answers..
1- What are the system apps on Xperia Mini Pro SK17i ICS .587 which can be safely uninstalled without affecting negatively on the device? "Please don't provide me with Arc S apps as they are not the same"
2- Can I install CWM through X-Parts app after I unlocked my bootloader or not? If it can't be so how can I install CWM on my unlocked bootloader device?
3- After installing CWM, I want to take a backup from my current ROM on my SD card.. Will the backup be for the ROM only or the ROM and the kernel? And how much space will I need on the SD for this backup or it depends on what?
4- If the backup will be for the ROM only so how can I take a backup for the stock kernel or how can I get it?
5- After I will take the backup through CWM, I want to install a custom kernel to be working on the stock ROM in order to make overclocking for my CPU but I don't have a PC to do it through flashtool, so Can I do it through CWM? If yes so please tell me how?
6- I will very much appreciate your support to suggest me some kernels can work with my stock ROM and supports overclocking and increase total RAM if it is possible as I searched about kernels but I found that most of them support CM9 & CM10 & Some other custom ROMs.. I am looking for some kernels like the stock kernel to be working on the stock ROM and provide me with all device features but can support overclocking and increase RAM if it is possible as the stock kernel doesn't support this. "I am not asking about best kernel, I just want to know which kernels can support the overclocking and increase RAM and at the same time working on the stock ROM"
7- I have 2 partitions on my SD card 16 GBs (KingStone Class 2) "EXT2 & FAT32".. How can I add swap file "RAM" to the EXT2 partition? And will it affect on my SD card negatively or make its life time shorter or not? And what about zRAM on EXT2 partition, is it available or no? If yes so please tell me how to do it.
8- Anyone found any market enabler app for Play store after it is updated to version 4.0.27? If yes so please provide me with the app name or link and I will very much appreciate it.
9- If I am a hard gamer so should I activate Force GPU Rendering & Don't keep activities from "Settings > Developer Options" or not? What they really do? Or if you have any suggestions for gamers on SK17i please tell me about it and I will test any then feed you back.
10- If I want to make a guide for the newbies "Noobs" to share them my experience and to make it easy for them, shall I post it in general or development? And should I refer back to someone before I post the guide "Keeping in mind that I will mention the people who helped me out with their posts or threads and I will add their links"? If yes so please tell me who?
I am so sorry for all these questions but I believe in you guys and I will very much appreciate your usual support.

1. I use arc s one and disregard the apps not present. Don't know if it is available for us
2. Yes u can use xparts but after unlocking its easier to just f'ash a custom kernel as they have recovery
3.only rom, we can't flash kernel via cwm yet. Size depends on rom. Stock is the highest.
4. Don't know about taking backup of kernel but u can get the stock kernel ftf file. Besides what's there to backup in a kernel?ie what's the diff btw new kernel and backed up one?
5 flashing on the go is not supported yet
6. Don't know. Try urself
7,8 don't know
9. Try asking in the gaming thread in general.
10. In general. Never in development. Dev is only for ORIGINAL roms, kernels etc. Don't think u need to ask anyone, if anyone helps, just add credit.

1. Here are all the system apps present in .587 which you can remove :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048279
2. Don't install CWM from x-parts. It doesn't work properly sometimes! Use this :- http://theunlockr.com/2012/06/07/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-xperia-mini-and-mini-pro/
3. The backup is always for the ROM. You cannot backup the kernel. The size varies on the ROM it can go from 600MB to 5GB. So you better have a 16GB memory card for backups and some of your games/music!
4. As stated, there is no backup for stock kernel! You can flash the ftf of the kernel.
5. Not possible!
6. Most of the kernels support overclocking upto 2GHz. But now devs are making maximum overclocking possible upto 1.6GHz as higher the overclocking, higher risk of device being bricked and s***! Also, all android versions have different kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148684
7. No idea. Sorry
8. No. There is no market enabler for play store version 4.0.27.
9. If you're a gamer and play HD games on your device, i'll recommend to flash stock GB as it is by far the smoothest ROM in terms of Gaming! Also, you can try CM9/CM10/CM10.1 but they need overclock! And about GPU rendering :- http://pocketnow.com/2012/05/25/what-is-force-gpu-rendering-in-ice-cream-sandwich
10. Obviously the GENERAL FORUM! :silly:

It will work with ICS. I installed CWM with the same thing on stock .587. Just be sure that you get root and check once on flashtool! :good:
It'll work. Trust me or as you have am unlocked BL, flash any kernel supported by ICS. Real simple :highfive:

[Q] Kitkat custom room vs. 4.0.4 on Xperia mini

Hello, everyone. I just bought an old Xperia mini and it is very slow (lagging so much) and I think an upgrade to Kitkat could help it faster but I am not sure about it and do not want to waste the time if it is not really worth it (newbie). So, could you help me with these answer?
1. How approximately fast (percent?) is the Kitkat custom room (carbon rom, pacman...) vs. 4.0.4 Sony xperia mini stock room?
2. How big is the custom room (typically) in comparison to the Sony stock room (My phone always notified me that there is not enough space to install apps despite the fact that I moved most of apps to SD card)
3. (Do not know it is suitable to ask) Which Kitkat custom room is the smallest size? I do not need to customize and my need is very basic.
4. Could I return to Sony stock rom (4.0.4) later if I want?
Thank you

1. it will blast you away. never thought it could be that good (Sony ics is very laggy:silly
2. ROM storage & data (app) storage are to diffrent partition a smalller rom doesent means really u will hav more space for apps, but:
a) never had space probelms with any LX build in apps (& yuo said your needs are basic)
b) u can use mount2sd or app2sd to put apps on SD to gain more space
3. if you say ur needs are basic use LX CM10.1 it has all the basic stuff & works great (better than kitkat bcuz there are many other problems due to lack of proper drivers.) mostly al other roms (PAC & carbon etc) are built on top of it or using as base.
4. yes you can flash a stock ICS ftf file via flashtool. software will be like out of the box.
give your phione some new life & try LX (or based) ROM. its the best at the moment

Thank you for your very useful answer. But I wonder why I should not use LX CM 10.2 instead of 10.1?

its just something i would advice to you. you said you have simple needs & all fw (CM -10.1, -10.2, -11) look quite same, only KK CM11 is a bit more with eyecandy. also its the stablest one (best battery & best working drivers from all LX's) at the end its your choice
CM10.1 - stablest & best working
CM 10.2 - somewhere between those two
CM11 - newest
