Bit harsh...you need to have an unlocked bootloader. Then download the CM7 from the development section and run the script. It's that simple!

No sorry that wasn't what I wanted to type

That thread is dead (at least for now). What's the point in linking it?

I've read good things about this OS. Sony has recently released a ROM for the Xperia E!
In my opinion the atrix development should be focused in building an ICS kernel :/

i hope that will work someday.

[DEVELOPMENT] Xprt GB wishlist

So here it is, what do we want on or phones???
when do we want it??? now of course, but I just cant... LOL
My first thought TWRP, and the CM statusbar...
Please when posting here try to refer screenshots and/or zip files.
Many fixes and features can be flashed thru CWM or TWRP over deodexed ROMS, JFYI CM is a "bundle" of user-created features...
Once we deodex we can add any GB-compatible feature, so come on let´s hear it from rock bottom!!! (Rock Bottom by the offspring!!)
And btw, let's try and keep this organized. I´ll be going now but tonight Im gonna try and make the other threads (FAQ,DEV and others for our device!)
Peace!

I don't believe twrp is necessary. It'd be cool yes. But clockwork mod is our best hope with the 2nd init booting.

And honestly I just want fully functional and fully stable Cyanogen 9 or up. But. I lack the resources to do so. And on top of that I got in a skating accident on my way to the grocery store and broke my arm. So I'd rather do as little arm movement as possible.
Sent from my MB612 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, same here. If I could get at least a stable CM9, then I'd be happy. I just want the video camera to work, and for it to stop freezing and rebooting every so often. The rebooting is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

That's the point mate... get all the ics/jb eye candy, while conserving the stock sbf functionality, speed and stability...
I just need some help with the deodexing crap, I really do rock using any graphics software, so once we can extract and modify everything we´ll be into something.
For those of you who might not want to eithe deodex, flasha deodexed rom or flash a custom rom but want to somewhat theme or mod their phones, fire up google and look for ninjamorph...
ninjamorph if I remember well can perform theming operations directly on the phone, and it can deodex, modify and redex apks...
It IS a little old I think. so 2010´s...
Cheers!

"Eye candy" is none of my concerns. I actually need 4.0 or up with the same APIs as my Nexus 7. Whether it be apps, frameworks, or other things. I love this phone. Hate the software. Running the CM7 from rongsang still because I need stability to use it as a phone and tool. You cannot build a city with broken tools.

[Q&A] MIUI V5 Question and Answer thread

The purpose of this thread is to help people to solve their problems using the new MIUI ROM. By using this thread, we will keep the other thread clean and let developers work calmly, and more efectively.
So let's go, I will try to stay here, to see if I can help people solving their MIUI related problems.
Thank u everybody!!!

The pin bug
Any helper could verify that this bug is solved with:
Code:
adb shell
cd data/system
rm password.key

I understand that Franco's kernel was adapted to work with MIUI. Would you mind telling me how this was done? I would like to use these Franco kernel builds: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307463 as well as (possibly) bricked kernel, and trinity kernel.
Thank you for your time,

I can't confirm if this works or not but if you want to shorten it down you can run the single line to get the same effect
adb shell rm /data/system/password.key

So they naturally have support for MIUI? Or do you still have to edit the boot.img to get them to work? If so, do you know of a guide that I could use?
Connor Baker

Any kernel that is modded to work with MIUI needs to have a link to the source code posted with all changes properly documented,

I've been messing with it for a bit now and here are some glaring issues I see off the bat that I haven't solved yet.
1) Gallery issues. Not only are there two of them, but neither of them is reading my old pictures.
2) The popular browser bug. FCs every time you open it, even if you follow a link.
3) Does not properly mount as storage when connected via USB.
Other than that the battery life seems to be alright, not a whole lot that isn't working that they already don't know about either.
EDIT: So just to give an update.
1) I'm able to remove the extra gallery via root uninstall. And by manually initiating the media scanner you can get your pictures to reappear. There is an app called rescan media in the market that will do this for you.
2) Other browsers from the market work fine. So not a huge deal to work around while they fix it.
3) Still can't solve the mounting problem. I couldn't mess with it too much because it wasnt my PC.

Xperia SP deodexed Rom development..

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the world of android.I have been using various android devices untill now and recently got this beast.
Thus i want to let you all know that i am in process to develop a custom stock rom unlike the Galaxies and Senses...
Key features i am incorporating as of now are
1) Fully deodexed stock rom with extended kernel full root cwm capability.
2) Bloatwares removed with addons from xperia Z
3)Perfectly matched launcher with best performance and battery.
4)Based upon user community request.additional functionality to be added.
I would definately require everyone's support and donation in order to make this a master piece.
I am opening up this thread provided xda moderators give a heads up for a general discussion on what requirements we have.
Thank you and i will be constantly updating you on the status of the rom.
Also look forward for some hosting space.
Thank you

Would love to be a tester for your custom rom Tks bro!

I don't know why, but I can't deodex rom of this device like before. All processes are successful but I got bootloop when I tried to copy it back to my XSP.

All xdalites,
Thank you for your valued suggestions.I have already modified and deodexed the. 284 base firmware and now fixing the bootloops..But i think we can nail it..Let u all know shortly..

Excellent!

Hi all,
just got my SP last week, and very satisfied with it, now i knew what the meaning of project butter smooth, i'm from X10 section (pretty old phone and need to work harder to make it run faster, lol) .
So. ... i'm in on this!!!
Sofar there are some weakness on this phone that i can see, such as :
- Status Bar, i will port Serajr's one on this phone.
- Reboot options on the power menu, and another wellknown MOD(s) need to provide.
- Sound quality through earphone (cuz my X10 with some mod on sound lib(s) can to beat SP stock very easy, according to my test on my ears for sure ).
- General background supossed to be black, i think.
- Bloatware remover and some usefull tweaks, such as ram management, i think we should have more than 500 MB on anytime instead of 430+ MB, etc etc.
- Porting stuff for some well known apps from another devices, etc.
BUT, this gonna 'kill' my monthly internet quota since the rom's size little TOO BIG to upload from here, so lets see it later.
EDIT :
I think we better wait for JB 4.2.2, perhaps SONY gonna release it soon, just suggestion.
Regards
