Hi all, Is there a way to add the videocalling-feature that is part of the GSM-standard?

Ok. "Bucks" is usually USD. I love the phone, so 200 EUR for a brand new phone sold by a store seems as an OK price to me. You get 2 years of warranty if you live in an EU country. Sent from my phone using an app

Depends what kind of currency your bugs are. We used to trade with squirrelskins hundreds of years ago, but now with money this seems a bit old fashioned.. [emoji16]

Thanks! :)

I would like to check that i got it right: Build 47.1.XXX is the Oreo-version, and 47.2.XXXX is the Pie-verion?

Thanks! Has someone btw kept some kind of log of the nordic Oreo firmware-versions that has been released for the Xz1 Compact?

Hi! I am also looking for an Nordic Oreo-firmware for the G8441.. Would you still have it lying around? :)

j4nn I have the 47.1.A.2.281 firmware with the august 2017 patchlevel. Does this mean that my fw is rootable? Then I have understood completely wrong that the patchlevel would have fixed the exploit... I have run renoroot for hours with this script without any success... Maybe it should not be...

j4nn So did i get it right: With 47.1.A.2.281 and patch level 5th of august 2017, renoroot does not work? I then need to flash an alternative firmware instead?

I have read the first post several times, and what i understand, renoroot does NOT work with build 47.1.A.2.281 / patch level 5th of August 2017. In last part of the post is a sourcecode to an other exploit, but i have no clue how i should compile this.. crap :(

Hi all, I have tried to read carefully this thread, but obviously i am missing something. I had to send to warranty repair my own xz1 compact, but got back a new device (my phone had a defect in the screen that showed as an orange spot next to the power button). Now with a factory clean device...

Thanks!! This saved my day :)

Hi folks! Does anyone still have available a Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock-rom for the mini pro (sk17i)? I can't find any of them that i have backed up somewhere on my hdd :(

It might be a bit tricky to find a suitable shop, especially when the shops i have seen in Finland advertise that they fix only iPhonys and Samsung-devices.. BUt anyway a good point, because i don't want any fakes just to get disapointed that they are crap..

Darn.. I just broke screen on my sk17i (Xperia Mini Pro). Does anyone know if there is for sale original screens by sony ericsson, or is just fake screens that are sold on eg. www.aliexpress.com? I'm btw proud over my self... Have been using mobile phones for 22 years, this is the FIRST time...

I found a solution to this. The phone can't recognise what kind of plug is connected to the phone, so it does not start to charte. Going to storage-settings and enabling MTP mode fixes this issue.. Luckily i have my rsync-server on my phone and rsnapshot doing daily backups. I'll try now to...

I got now a strange issue with my Mini Pro (sk17i/Mango). I can't charge the battery normally when the power is switched on. Charging the phone works only when powered off... Anyone heard about similar case?

Well.. I was lycky that i could recover everything with ddrescue, so i did not loose anything :) ddrescue is a tool that creates an image of a partition of complete disk/sd-card. It uses a log where it logs sectors that has failed. By re-running ddrescue, it tries to read only the failed...

Well.. Looks that i have a SD-Card with the ext4-partition corrupted.. I need to check it more deeply... I managed though to create a copy with ddrescue, and it gave me just one error, so the odds that i loose everything seems to be quite small :) Darn.. I was planning to set up an rsync-server...

Hi folks! I'm running the latest cm-11-20161025 on my Xperia MiniPro (Mango), and yesterday after a reboot of the phone i ended up in a boot-loop that just reboots right after the "Legacy Xperia"-logo.. I tried to clear the cache, and i also reinstalled the rom, but i still end up in the same...

Anyone with any suggestions what could be tweaked/tuned/installed/removed for getting better battery-life? Sent from my SK17i

ARgh.. I have now struggled several days in moving my data-partition to my sd-card, but it just won't work :( Is there a permanent solution, or is it the Link2Sd-way the only that really works? Has anyone managed to patch the boot-rom so that it would work?

Thank you mikeioannina for this new build! :) Going to jump at it and try to patch it for moving /data to my sd-card.. Currently still stuck in figuring out why after patching the fstab.xx files in boot.img, the boot-process get's stuck at the Cyanogenmod boot-logo :(

I actually had 1.0.32, but the problem seems to be in the Cloworkmod-recovery that most likely lacks support for f2fs and ext4.. That's why CWM fails to format and mount the sdcard... It also came into my mind that i will probably have the same problem with the kernel itself, because if i got...

I think i figured out my problem.. When connecting with adb to recovery, i can't format to f2fs or ext4.. The system does not seem to support it.. Is the filesystemsupport in CWM or in the systems adb? Anyway, i'll upgrade later today my mac's android-sdk to a more modern version, so hopefully...

The problem is that the recovery does not recognice /data as an partition, and i get an error which says "unknown partition" or something similar. Is there a way in finding out which device my sd-card is? Being able to do that should most likely fix these errors.. Then i'm pretty sure that...

Crap.. The sourcetree that repo sync downloads fills up my devel-server, and i have no space left :( Isn't there a way to download only what is used by Mango, and not everything else..? :(

So modifying the cm-11-20160417-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango.zip and patching the boot.img + framework-res.apk inside that package wont work? Ok, I'll try to get the source retrieved (it's huge, and my 30Gb devel-server will not be enough..) How large does the first partition be? Is it enough...

Hi! The boot.img works, so i managed to patch it correctly :) Do i have to have an sd-card that is somehow pre-fixed (eg. two partitions), or something similar? Or can the installer/recovery do this automatically from a blank sd-card? One other think i did not figure out (yet) is that where do i...

Hi xc-racer99! Have you managed to patch a kitkat boot.img with this patch, and get your phone to use it? I have now patched a Mango boot.img, and flashed my phone with it. The final issue is that i the rom does not boot, but sticks to the cyanogenmod blur "rotating logo".. Any help would be...

How to unpack, patch and re-pack boot.img [edit: I managed to build the boot.img for this rom (cm 11.0), and it boots to recovery without problems. I updated this post to reflect all steps i did, and it should now work. Only problem is that flashing the latest cm 11.0 Mango-rom, keeps me in an...

SirBiggle Oh crap.. 20Gb was not enough for the cm-11 build-environment.. Crap.. I need to get some more space first! :(

Are you sure that this would work out correctly? I would imagine that you need to configure the android-system also work with the altered boot.img...? But if it's just to modify the boot.img, then i don't understand why this was not done ages ago :) Anyway, i'll start with creating my...

I'm very interested to try to fix this. I'm not so familiar with android-development, but i don't think it should be a big issue to figure this out. Did you go for the LegacyExperia-source found on Github? If i got it right, by following this guide...

Hi all! I have a couple of Xperia Mini PRO's (sk17i / mango) where my primary phone still uses the original SonyEricsson gingerbread rom. Parallell I use this Marshmallow-build in my second phone. It works partially nicely, but placing and receiving calls is painfylly slow. It often happens...

Hi guys! I just upgraded to the latest version for Mango, and i have now a couple of isues: 1) I can't enable developer-options. Tapping 7 times om build number in settings->phone does not activate anything. 2) The status bar's quickpulldown does not work. It shows "No notifications", even i...

Hi folks! I read somewhere that google maps worked on this rom, but on my mango (Mini Pro) it's soo slow that it's practically useless. I have one of the fastest sd-cards, so now I wonder that is there some settings that should be disabled/enabled so I could get it to work better? Sent from...

Did you try to use gdisk instead of fdisk? Also did you try with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1Mwhere /dev/sdX is the sd-card?

I have to add here some thoughs about the sd-card problems people are reporting. I have difficult to believe that the rom damages the card. What i have stumbled upon with sd-cards, usb-sticks etc is that the "disk"-layout or it's parameters are screwed up. Windows then believes it's damaged, and...

Hi, Has anyone else had probmes with the Notificatgion-tone? I try to change it to something else, but it always get restored to the default, irritatingly long 'Titania'.. :(

Hi, Ok, this makes sense :) Then i'll reformat my card, and go for f2fs. Btw. Is there a reason why the rom does not use the whole sd-card to 100%? My slower card had a 1,5Mb unused block in the end of the card.. Is there a particular reason for this?

ls -lZ on the main card gives me this:drwx------ 2 root root ? 4096 Mar 9 10:34 adb drwxrwxr-x 2 1000 1000 ? 4096 Mar 13 15:42 anr drwxrwx--x 59 1000 1000 ? 8192 Mar 13 08:34 app drwx------ 2 root root ? 4096 Mar 9 10:34 app-asec drwxrwx--x 2 1000 1000 ? 4096 Mar 9 10:34 app-lib...

I'm just in the middle of moving everything from a basic class10 sd-card to a uhs-1 speedy 90x sdcard. What i read about f2fs, it's faster than ext4.. Now if f2fs fails with selinux, then it looks to me that i need to reinstall everything on a fresh ext4 partition, because restoring the...

Hi nussbaum. That did not work.. [email protected]:~/src/f2fs-tools# modprobe f2fs FATAL: Module f2fs not found. [email protected]:~# I suspect that the source i complied did not contain everything. After doing a make install, only the following is [email protected]:~/src/f2fs-tools# find /usr/local/ -name...

What's the reason that dd did not work? Is there some trick with the parameters that should be used? It looks that i need to install myself a virtual-machine, because i can't get f2fs installed on my Ubuntu 12.4 running my HTCP at home. I compiled the f2fs-tools from sourceforge, but that did...

Anyone..? Any ideas how to change SD-Card without having to reinstall everything?

I just got myself the fastest 32Gb flash i could find (90x), and tried to clone the sd-card with dd (dd if=/dev/sdX bs=1M of=/dev/sdY) in linux. Unfortunately it did not work, and my phone seems to get stuck in an endless bootloop.. Is there any guide on how to change the sd-card without having...

Thanks! Flightmode On->Of, then 3G->2G->3G did the trick. There is obviously a bug somewhere. Is this something that could be fixed in the ROM, or is this a limitation with this device?

Reboot, switching between 2g/3g did not help at all.. Still no mobile data at all.. Anyone else running this ROM on a Mini Pro (Mango / SK17i)?

Now i lost completely all network.. I found in a previous topic that someone switched back-and-forht between flight-mode and changed between 2g and 3g. Doing that did that the phone said it lost the sim-card... Now rebooting, and i hope this will work out..
