Installation from any ROM:

If you already have a modified phone you can skip some steps. In case of doubt just follow every step and you can't go wrong. Checks are built in to prevent "bricking" your phone.

1.) Download FlashTool_0.2.9.1.exe.
Install and run X10FlashTool.exe

2.) OPTIONAL: Download the stock 2.1.1.C.0.0 from here and flash it on your phone (follow the instruction on FlashTool). You need to do this if you don't have baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 on your phone. After restart turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging in Application Settings as stated in FlashTool instructions. Root using following step.

3.) IF NOT ROOTED ALREADY: Please root the device using FlashTool, wait for restart and press "Ask Root Perms", and accept on your phone.

4.) Install xRecovery using FlashTool

If you like setting up your phone by using the Wizard, do it now. After installing Clean ROM you can only do it by using settings menu.

5.) Download latest version of 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 (link above) and copy to root of SD card and rename to update.zip

6.) Reboot (power phone off and on again). When you see "Sony Ericsson" logo press back key a few times. You should see the xRecovery menu.

7.) OPTIONAL: To reset all settings to default, select "Factory reset (full wipe)" from the menu. This is recommended when you're coming from a different custom rom, but please make sure you made a backup of your data first.

8.) Select "Install update.zip from SD Card" and "Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip"

9.) Reboot and enjoy the speed!

To make most use of the battery:
- Charge to 100%
- Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
- Reboot and unplug charger
- If battery percentage is less than 100% repeat procedure.
- Use the phone like you do normally but don't charge the phone untill it's completely drained and won't turn on by itself anymore.
- Charge battery to 100% again you're set.

Be sure to read post #2 below!

Special thanks to;

- bitmovel for initial development support
- bugoink2 for testing
- flex96 and dr.norton for help and inspiration
- my wife for giving me the Xperia X10 Mini Pro as a birthday present
- Sony Ericsson for such an awesome piece of hardware in a very small package
- all the chefs of light roms who make phones faster

Add-on packs:
Download and copy files to root of SD card, boot into xRecovery, select "Install custom zip", select "Choose custom zip from sdcard", select and install file.
211Clean00_CameraFM.zip (924.42 KB)
- contains Camera, Album and FM Radio
211Clean00_SEapps.zip (2.24 MB)
- contains Alarm, Calendar, Calculator, E-mail client, Timer, Stopwatch and Notes

Post-installation setup:

After ROM flash you need to set up your data connection (3G or WiFi) add/sync your Google account.
Then you can install your favorite apps by downloading them from the market and/or restore your apps using backup software (ofcourse you should have made a backup of your apps before flashing the rom).

Personally I use MyBackup Root from the market which is very user friendly and free.

Camera: Install your favorite camera software, and "Button Shortcut 1.6" to assign it to the camera button long press.
I recommend "Camera360 v2.2", which has a stabilizer function, so no more blurred snapshots.
I've attached the standard Camera and Gallery 3D in this post.

Ringtones: copy your favourite ringtones in /sdcard/ringtones and alarms in /sdcard/notifications

Personal favourite apps:
Camera: Camera360 Ultimate v2.2
Calendar: CalenGoo
Browser: NineSky
Music player: PowerAmp
Weather: Snowstorm
Backup: MyBackup Root
Task killer: Advanced Task Killer
Need more space for apps: Link2SD
Misc: EasyMoney, KeePassDroid, Missed Call Reminder, Root Explorer, SD Maid, ClockSync

btw. Don't ask me to upload apps, Google is your friend.

Download Removed.zip (32 MB) with all files that have been removed.

To restore a removed app, copy the .apk to /system/app, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot

Guide (Advanced users only): HowTo make optimal use of your clean ROM

Your phone has two partitions, /system and /data, which are approx. 200MB in size.
The /system partition is where your ROM resides and is static (does not change), /data is where everything during use is stored (dynamic / changes).
By installing a Clean ROM, apps and services that were in the standard ROM have been removed so space is freed from the /system partition. There's approx. 80MB doing nothing and staying there.
To make use of that space we can move our own favourite apps into that space, so you have even more free space on the /data partition.

There's two ways to do this... you can either copy your favourite .apk's into the ROM zipfile's /system/app directory before flashing it (I use Total Commander to do this), or you can use Titanium Backup Pro (you need Pro version) to do it on the phone itself.

Using Titanium Backup:
- backup the app
- long-press the app and select "Convert to system app"
- restore "Data only"

If you do "Convert to system app" only, some apps loose their settings.

If you want to update an app you have to:
- backup the app
- convert to user app
- update the app from market
- convert to system app
- restore data

Ofcourse this can be a bit of a drag, so leave apps that get updated often on /data

Anyway, with something like 20 apps installed on my phone, all moved to /system except SuperUser and Titanium Backup Pro I've still got 123MB free on /data

Thank you for this easy and clean ROM!!
I've been waiting for ages for such one.

But does it have dual touch?
Thats maybe one thing you can put in too?
and maybe the AIO Automatic Installation Script?

Thanks for your input. I'm considering adding the things you mentioned, but maybe it's more important to concentrate on things to remove instead of things to add?

Even the dual-recovery is a bit over the top in my opinion as clockwork takes almost 3MB of space!!!

Opinions differ on the usefulness of dual-touch on such a small screen except for showing off.
My fruit ninja scores are way higher when I play it on my son's HTC Legend, even though it lags like hell being crammed full of sh*t ;)

Maybe if we have a fully optimised ROM in a few weeks we can think about making a second version with extra features?

Please install ROM and tell me what you think, and by all means stay critical ;)

You can easily add dualtouch and overclocking to this rom by using this tool

Yeah! I agree about that! I really like that you have removed all of the SE **** :P You are completely right, strip it down as much as you can and maybe then you could start implementing things in the ROM I'm just about installing it now, I will write as soon as I can about it. Both good and bad things

I wouldn't call all SE stuff useless... a lot of the standard stuff is very finger/user friendly and I wouldn't change it in the world for any 3rd party app. Therefore tiny apps like stopwatch and timer are still inside...

Hey never seen that one before! Perfect solution for people who are after features!
Makes me able to keep attention to diet! ;)

Update!: Uploaded new 211Clean00_XRecovery.zip.
The old one was compatible with CWM and would not format system before applying update.

Installation routine double-checked, no need for SD-maid, just uninstall everything from settings menu.
