Blue button I guess. Eitherway, try to use software keyboard instead or flash specific keyboard layout (sticky thread in x10 mini pro android development) through CWM.

Themes

Hello everyone.
Pardon me if I sound n00by but is there other themes for miniCM9 3.0.4 than the CyanogenMod9 and System theme?
If so, where can I find/download them?
Thank you for reading this!

Hey dude that's a nice question. You can install any theme that works on cyangemod 9. just search here on xda.
Notice that some themes might not suit well because of the small screen. But give a try :)

Make sure you look for LDPI tag, so that theme works as it should.

Installed 3.0.4 today and it works much better for me then 3.0.3.

But i still have problem with the phone app.

Now the screen stays alit when phoning and causing the ear to puch buttons when you try to talk.
It seems it dont comunicate with the sensors corectly.
Have tried to cover the sensors and noting happens.
Keybord light works with the sensor input and light up when sensors is coverd.

Have done all the whipes and reinstalls as recomended so no old settings are left behind to cause trouble.

Can someone confirm this problem?

I dont care much about the keybord lights. I only mentiond that it works with the sensors. And the phone app does not.

Its a bit anoying to hang upp the phone every time you forget to hold it a bit from the ear.
Or does the kfix work for that to?

v3.0.4

Hi,

Two problems here appeared after installing v3.0.4 on two Minis :
1) Play Store doesn't work anymore, it crashes as soon as opened... Tried all the cache wipes, system format etc.. every recommended operation... even manually installing v3.5.19 of the Store .. nothing changes.
2) Volume buttons don't work anymore at all during a phone call. The slider on screen moves, but the volume doesn't actually goes up or down (on v3.0.3 up and down were swapped, but at least they worked... :) ).

There's another lil' detail... The Wifi and network icons stay white... They were blue, before...

Does this matter....?

Once again, both symptoms occur on two Minis that were running v3.0.3 and were updated to 3.0.4..

Thanks for your help, thanks to the devs for their tremendous work.

Have a nice day ! :)

[Edit] Found what was wrong with Play Store / problem solved with a factory reset...

    [FAQ] >> RBAP for miniCM9 by nAa, nAa's kernel X10mini/X8/x10miniPRO .:12/07/2012:.

    Read Before Asking Please

    FAQ for MiniCM9, nAa kernel and any other custom rom maybe
    reading may answer to lots of your questions !
    for X10mini, X8 & x10miniPRO


    MiniCM9_logo_600x424.png



    • i decided to create a new thread dedicated to Q&A about miniCM9 ;)
    • this thread is the place of your questions, answers, tips about miniCM9 and nAa ics kernel
    • so please, as usual, read FAQ, use search option or anything else before asking commonly answered questions
    • the FAQ will be incremented when needed
    • the Q&A is written as Q are asked




    Requirements:


    Instructions:
    • Download the MiniCM9-xxx.zip from the release link that follows
    • Backup your /data contents: contacts, apps, sms, etc. or backup via recovery
    • Move the MiniCM9-xxx.zip to the root folder of your sdcard. Download the suggested Google Apps for CM9 from here (check http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ if you want to experiment with other gapps versions)
    • Make sure you are using the nAa-ics kernel
    • Enter CWM and:
      - Select 'backup and restore -> Backup'
      - Select 'wipe data/factory reset' (MUST DO)
      - Flash the MiniCM9-xxx.zip. To do this, Select 'install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard' and select the MiniCM9-xxx.zip
      - Flash gapps in the same way
    • Reboot (first boot will take ~2 mins)
    • Once your device has booted, you can use the nAa notification to register for upcoming updates. This way you can get update notifications on new versions of MiniCM9 and the nAa-ics kernel!

    Please make sure you followed the above steps before reporting any issues, especially 'wipe data/factory reset'



    something else that is useful to read before asking :

    Here we (nearly all? XDA members, regardless of being devs or only users [like me], me at least ) don't care about your good/bad English ;) the important is trying to be understood and to understand the content of the threads :)


    only ask things you can't find, or you don't understand, please if you don't understand something in any process tell us exactly where is your problem : it will optimize the answer ;)

    sometime rephrasing things can make you understand better, feel free to help us for making the most understandable sentence for anybody :)

    i'm always trying to use a proper English (not so easy for a non native English ^^)
    but if there's something misunderstood because of my English your are welcome to correct me :)

    BUT if you don't make the effort to read, I won't make the effort to answer :p (ok, you can't read everything... but read the minimum ;) )

    that's it :)


    miniCM website is now available (http://minicm.dyndns.org/site/Chat/ for chatroom)
    clic on the red text above ;)

    register, and then enjoy :)

    1/ is miniCM9 an april 1ST troll???????(any version)
    ok, we are on April the 1stn but NO, it is not a troll, just some teasing, and then you'll be able to test it by yourself (on X8 only atm, you'll need to wait a little more for mini and pro)
    __________________
    2/ sim isn't recognized, what to do?(for miniCM9-3.0.0 on X8)
    disable sim lock (pin) and then it should work (to disable, use another phone, or miniCM7)

    3/ cypress digitizer doesn't work ??(for miniCM9-3.0.0/nAa-ics01 on X8)
    use the dedicated fix :

    __________________
    4/ why flastool doesn't flash the kernel i choose? (any version)
    1. when there are lots of kernel builds in flashtool firmware folder, flashed kernel might not be the right one,
    2. to void this, create a folder in it, cut/paste all your previous kernel there
    3. and only keep the one you want to flash in the firmware folder
    4. then, start flastool and process flashing operations

    ___________________
    5/ why can't i make FMradio work?(miniCM9-3.0.1 all devices)
    you need to turn bluetooth on and then launch the app :)

    ___________________
    6/ what is SafiXS favourite posting pic in miniCM support chat?
    this one ;)

    ___________________
    7/ some problems with default input method ?(for miniCM9-3.0.1/nAa-ics02 on X10mini)
    here is the explanation of the bug, and how to live with (there is no way to fix it atm)

    1. the red part are nearly unresponsive :
      Screenshot_2012-04-10-20-50-16.png

      but the buttons are still perfectly usable, just need to press more to the center
    2. when typing more than 2 times on a word : the app FC, to restart it just wait 2 seconds after pressing "ok"
    3. same issue when selecting words, it can lead to FC

    in fact you'll quickly see by yourself how to live with this, without much problem :)
    ==> supposed reason : conflict between input method selecting way and ICS way, the two want to select, and ICS wins the battle :p
    ==> the well known keyboard panel freeze that existed in miniCM7 no more exists in miniCM9 !

    ___________________
    8/ why reboot to recovery option never reboots?miniCM9-3.0.1 nAa-ics-02 all devices
    after choosing, wait for a while and press home, it will successfully reboot to recovery

    9/ (39/) if you have any problem with flashing using flashtool, theses posts may help you : (all builds, all devices, on Windows)
    original explanation by hakanyildiz
    rephrased by alex_gm
    dr.norton said:
    in brief, if your regional settings (on windows) don't correct (or let's say english localisation) you can't see the inner files of the main ftf file like kernel.sin & loader.sin in the flashtool, consequently you can't flash the ftf.
    if someone can't see the *.sin files of a *.ftf file, he should change his regional settings of his system. that's all :)

    13/ i'm having issues with keyboard light (miniCM3.0.2+, mimmi)
    Hi,

    I tried a few things and managed to make the lights work this way:

    1 - Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight .
    LIGHT SENSOR FILTER mark ''Enable''
    LIGHT LEVELS mark ''Use custom''
    mark ''Allow light decrease'',

    2 - Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Decrease hysteresis
    Mark ''0%''

    3 - Settings > Display > Brightness
    Mark ''Automatic brighness''

    OK, The keyboard lights should work !

    My configuration, Screenshots :

    14/ considering swap (miniCM3.0.3+, all devices)
    Q: What are the benefits of using swap? Do I get performance improvements?
    A: Using swap essentially increases the amount of memory available for your Android system and applications. What it does, is that it allows you to have more open apps at a given time without the need to kill older apps or HOME (causing redraws when you hit HOME). In essence, it improves the multitasking experience for low RAM phones.
    Swap is kept on the sdcard which is by no means as fast as the RAM memory of your phone. So it does NOT improve performance scores.

    Q: What is the best sdcard for swap? What size should I use?
    A: The best sdcard is the one with the higher write speed. Usually you need at least a class 6 sdcard to see some improvement. This does not mean that swap won't work on slower sdcards, however things will get laggy when stuff are swapped in or out.
    The size to use really depends on your usage. For normal usage, 64MB should be enough for having 3-4 apps open at any time. If you need to run heavy apps, consider 128MB or 256MB. At any case you can experiment and find whichever option works best for you.

    Q: So, what do I need to do to make swap work?
    A: Enabling Swap under MiniCM9 is a piece of cake: Settings -> Performance -> Memory Management -> Swap Settings
    There you can select the size, enable or disable, or check the current swap info.
    You do NOT need a swap partition. You do NOT need swapper or any other thirdparty apps/scripts. All can be done via the Settings menu.
    At boot, if a swapfile is found it's used. At shutdown/usb mass storage, if swap is enabled, it's cleanly disabled so that the sdcard can be unmounted as it should.

    Q: Sounds complicated... Do I need to activate swap?
    A: No. MiniCM9 will work perfectly with or without swap as it does e.g. with or without overclocking. Swap is yet another cool performance-related feature :)

    another explanation, in other words : here thanks to XepA

    performance tricks :

    Hi folks!

    MiniCM9 along with the nAa-ics kernel, includes some interesting performance improvement points:
    • System -> Performance -> Processor -> CPU governor and frequency --> SmartassV2 is suggested. Overclocking can be set as higher as your device can take
    • System -> Performance -> Processor -> Undervolting --> Enable this to get better battery life
    • System -> Performance -> Memory management -> zRam (Compcache) --> By default this is set to 18% in order to provide more physical memory (RAM)
    • System -> Performance -> Kernel samepage merging -> Enable this to get smaller memory footprint due to memory sharing among apps (Note that this might increase battery consumption)

    ICS is memory hungry, so the more memory we can get, the better the experience will be ;)
