Weird.. I don't see superuser.apk in the rom.
Edit: Didn't see first post :p Slade, I find that all the custom roms I've tried cannot compare to stock roms in terms of smoothness. Anyone noticed, or is it just minor hardware differences?

I disappointed about SE, Walkman on W8 = music player on X10 mini pro, only different about interface : orange of walkman and blue on U20i.

Even the music beta app on the market has more features then that ****ty SEMCMusic Player. ( And the music beta app has less features than stock android, but way better interface.)

Just download the module, put it in /system/lib/modules, edit hwconfig.sh to insmod it, edit build.prop, there you're done. Look in the multitouch driver thread for detailed instructions.

    Hey guys,
    this is a Port of the recently in released in China.
    This ROM can still be rooted by SuperOneClick root. Xrecovery comes preinstalled though. Do not forget that the W8 still comes with Android 2.1 still its nice as some of the stuff was updated. So if you want to update you existing 2.1 this might be a great choice.
    You can remove any app you don't want from the zip or copy the ones from 2.1 to the zip you need as well.

    Please Backup your build.prop before flashing so you can revert back to original state

    Links

    W8 Port v1.0 Please read instructions / This is Android Eclair (2.1)

    Instructions:

    • place on sdcard
    • boot to xrecovery
    • install as custom zip
    • if you come from other custom rom (higher than android 2.1) do a factory reset BEFORE flashing the zip file
    • reboot (like stock SE firmware for pro) takes awfully long




    The Works:
    • Everything

    The Not Works
    • Nothing found so far

    Bugs:
    • Some stuff is not ldpi like the widgets but it works pretty good.

    i only edited to make it work with mini and also deleted chinese input method and changed suquashi framework so otherwise we couldnt really use the hardware keyboard. if somebody need chinese i need the mini pro chinese input method. which i didnt have. now we are at least able to use hardware keyboard and the stock t9 input method from sony mini pro stock rom.

    Hi Slade,

    Sorry for my ignorance but what is the difference between this ROM and the original SE ROM 2.1 for minipro?

    Thanks


    this is based on the newest 2.1 sources and you have "S.E walkman".
