How to root your Xperia mini/Mini Pro // List of safe-to-remove apps

---

Hey guys.
I thought it would be nice to have a list going


Safe to remove apps for Xperia mini Pro/Xperia mini:
Note: Uninstalling these apps seems to be safe, they might however still remove some functions or features.
It's recommended to backup these apps to SD first, using either Titanium backup or Super Manager

Method 2, using FlashTool:

All credits go to Androxyde and his Team

Both methods are basiclly the same, though for some people one might work better. It works for all versions and all firmwares

I've uninstalled the following:

They're skins for POBox Touch, the Japanese IME/keyboard for the SK17.

Different carriers do provided their own custom builds with different pre-installed IMEs/games... etc, so if cannot find it, simply ignore and go on.

Hope this may help

thanks in advance
send me a pm or a link where i can download it..

Have you ever tried resetting your phone from Setting->Privacy->Reset or Factory Reset, this may be the simplest method to let you to start with it from the very beginning. These steps will restore it from an ISO image in the phone memory.

Or in case it doesn't work, you may try update it with PC Companion, or SE Update Service as last steps you may do before sending it back to the Customer Service.

Hope these may help... though I haven't tried them before with SK17i, my old SE phones all worked in these ways.

Guys i need some help

The mini pro is my first android device and i don't know how this 'adb driver' thing works.
THIS is the correct file for our sk17? And how to install it, it's just like installing any driver on Windows?

I've searched on the web and found various ways of setting up those adb drives
for some phones, so i would like to know how it's done in our mini pro. A tutorial
would be welcomed. Thanks!

good tutorial
