Other ROM(s) for Xperia mini/pro

Now that Sony has given us the stick, I am not sure that I (we) have any reason to stick to official Sony ROM.
Anybody tried any other ROM on these devices. I have been using CyanogenMod 9 for a while and have been satisfied with the experience and waiting for CM 10 (JB).
Veera

Hello Veera,
I am also one of the customer dumped by Sony's decision not to bring JB into its 2011 Xperia family. Recently, i installed JB using CM10(which is still in beta stage). It is awesome, more faster and smooth than the ICS by Sony.It has good battery life plus doesn't have bloatware..
Check out how to install this here

Problems with Android 2.1 for Xperia Mini-Pro: no Twitter on Timescape and not all contacts restored - please help!

Hello all! I own an Xperia Mini-Pro which I updated with Android 2.1 yesterday. Having some problems, the main ones being: 1) Timescape does not allow me to sign in to Twitter (it claims my username and password are incorrect, despite successful log-ons with the same details via Twitter Mobile); and 2) not all my backed-up contacts have been restored to my phonebook (and yet they still exist somewhere in the phone - I know this because I can bring up full contact details for people who've sent me SMS - but I cannot find them if I use the phonebook interface). Someone please help? Cheers - Jos

I suggest that you try to clear data and any cache in for the Timescape app.
Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> Click on the first hardware button (the one with four squares)> Filter> All> Timescape> Clear data and any cache.
Then check if you get the same error when trying to log in to Twitter.
Regarding the contacts I think you should check if they maybe filtered in the phone book. Open the phone book and click on the first hardware button (the one with four squares) > Contacts to view.
Check if some of your contacts might be filtered.

Xperia Mini Pro SK17a, when will ICS available ?

After more than a year waiting for very annouced ICS update for 2011 Xperia mobiles, Sony has removed SI list with nothing for my Xperia Mini Pro [SK17a] SI 1249-8103. I´d like to say that I´ve chosen SK17a mobile because Sony officially annouced that their 2011 Xperia line would be updated to ICS on 2012 march or april, right now I feel like an idiot for believe in this "well-known" company promise and also because I have a Sony SK17a running 2.3.4 version forever.

this should explain it

The Certification and approval phase: Making sure the software and hardware is compliant
A phone comes with parts and software working with a number of different technologies, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, modem and so on. To use these technologies, we have to certify that the new software is compliant with these technology standards. We therefore need to certify a new software release for all of these different technologies due to operator community requirements (GCF , PTCRB , CCF) and Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), if we have modified the software module related to such technology.
To a great extent, we try to get global certifications, but in many cases specific countries demand specific tests. For a global, worldwide product, we need local certifications approvals in up to 80 countries. For all these external certifications we are either allowed to test ourselves, and submit evidence that we passed, or we can get external test houses, such as Cetecom, to perform the tests.
Besides the operator and IPR certifications, we must externally comply with certifications for regulatory requirements. For example, we must show evidence that we comply with spurious emissions, SAR,EMC, as well as other environmental and health compliances. But when it comes to software upgrades for existing phone models, not all of the regulatory certifications are needed as they have already been performed once.
On top of this, Sony Ericsson is doing internal self certifications in areas we have identified as extra important to deliver the highest possible quality.
All certifications are based on each phone model, and even if a phone model has been certified with a previous software release, the parts which have been changed must be recertified if we are doing a new software release. So if we, for example, have made changes to the Wi-Fi module in an existing phone model, we need to recertify it. When we are working with a new Android release, such as Ice Cream Sandwich, all the affected areas must be recertified.
Another example is if the Bluetooth stack is changed. Then we have to recertify the Bluetooth part of the new software release. There are many apps that needs to be recertified for each of our phones, if they are changed in a new Android software release, for example Bluetooth, MMS, Wi-Fi, HDMI, DLNA and Adobe FLASH. Besides this, we rerun the Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) to make sure that we are compliant.
Contrary to what people may think, it is not the Bring up phase, but the Certification and approval phase that is the most time consuming process when it comes to getting a new software release out on our phones. This is one of the major tasks that are legally required from us as phone manufacturer, but is a task that the custom ROM community doesn’t have to take into consideration. Furthermore, by putting all this efforts into testing and certification, we ensure that quality and conformance is at a top level, in benefit for all consumers worldwide.
Additional approvals might be needed
In some cases, the new and complete software release has to be approved to be used in all the different networks that our phones should work in. Many operators also want to customise the software according to their requirements, which in turn are based on their market, network, differentiation and business model. We implement all of these customisations and create a variety of software packages and releases for each operator.
When all of this is done, we are ready to roll out the software release variants as software upgrades to operators and consumers around the world. The software upgrade can then be downloaded and installed either in the operator’s own update tool (if they have one), from Sony Ericsson’s PC Companion tool, or by over the air updates (FOTA – Firmware Over the Air).
It should be pointed out that this summary of all the activities and phases is somewhat simplified and is meant to provide a general picture of what we do from the release of the first Ice Cream Sandwich source code, until it is released to our consumers. From Sony Ericsson, we hope it has shed some of light on the work being done for the software upgrades.

Xperia Mini Pro - Not getting ICS Update

Hi all.. I have Xperia Mini Pro SK17i. Although ICS update has been rolled out, I am still not getting it on my PC Companion. I really dont know why. Can you please help. I am from India.

The roll out of the ICS update happens gradually and is still ongoing. I suggest that you connect your phone to PCC from time to time to check for software updates.

What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro

What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro?
Like added transisions and such.

Start out here where you'll find tons of top quality FREE plugins made by some very creative folks.
http://www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and-templates
The only "must-have" plugins I'd recommd are "Slice X" by CoreMelt, and "Nattress Levels & Curves" from Noise Industries (FX Factory).
Everything else is just eye candy.
I advise my students to not buy plugin until you actually need them for a paying job, and have that work pay for it.

How to view pdf files in xperia mini pro

I have downdoaded a Sony ericsson mobile manual in pdf format. I tried to open it in my mobile by using office suit but its not opening. How to solve this problem?

Well, like mentioned above, Adeobe reader is a good choice for pdf readering. But if you need a comprehensive pdf viewer, which can offers more funtions rather than only pdf reading option, then you can try a certain pdf windows viewer. I seldomly use such pdf reader, but they are great indeed. Because you can use it to view and realize some basic pdf processings.

How to find my lost experia mini pro

I have lost my SE Xperia Mini Pro after using it about 3 months. I got very up set. Can any one help how can I get it or how it can be blocked so that the other could not use it.
dharam

Unfortunately unless you have a third party tracking application we have no way of tracking the handset. However I would advise contacting your current network provider and the local authorities to see if they can offer further assistance around blocking your handset.
