Hello guy's,
It's the first time I post on XDA so i present myself. I'm LoveForEver and i'm the webmaster of a site that support some android smartphones. My site's is
Moderator Edit
It is against XDA rules to promote another web site especially to try and solicit devs. I will leave the thread open for discussion of the ROM but that's it.
We've added a new phone to our supported smartphone list and the smartphone we choosed is the Sony Xperia Miro.
We are now actually searching for people who have the smartphone and could make custom roms (just port CM9 or CM10) and other things for the smartphone.
Could you make custom roms?
Would you like to see a custom rom for miro too?
Never heard of it?

Hello,
You never heard about what?
The phone or my site?
If it's my site it's normal cause we were based on the Acer Liquid Metal before so we were more popular on Modaco.
Now we will support the most phones people who work with us want to support.
Lol sorry, I meant the phone. Out of all the random Xperia models I've never heard that name before. Is it UK available?

After a little search, i found that it was avalaible by clove & o2 in the uk.

No it's just a phone reseler like Carp-Warhouse I think
So what your really asking is for the devs here on xda to share their Roms with you so that you can publish them on your site.
Have you or any member of your site created any mods or Roms for any device yet?
Will you be uploading your work here on XDA?
Sorry if I seem rude but it just looks like your trying to promote your own site with others work.

I think you just totally misunderstood.
I have a site were I promote work of some devs and support phones.
I just want to help people who have the phone we support with Question & Answer, Custom Roms, News & Tuts.
I'm not searching people who will dev for my website but I search people who will dev for the Xperia Miro and that I'll also support on my website if they want to. And of course the work will be on XDA.
Lens_Flare the dev who is making roms for Acer Liquid MT first worked on Modaco then whe made LFDesigns together and he always posted his work on modaco after.
I think people misunderstand me. It's note very cool.
I can port Infinity Rom to Xperia Miro.
But I want a link to official .ftf
Also there is no CWM recovery for miro yet.

I did say sorry if I seem rude, just in case I misunderstood you.
I'm not here to make enemy's, just to learn and help others. I hope you see my point though, a new member asking devs to extend their support to your site.
But you have a dev on your site and your prepared to attempt a CWM port to an unsupported device which will help others here on XDA so I wish you luck and no hard feelings

First lemme congratulate developers for their hard work and thank them for this site, it's really full of information of any kind regarding any software/hardware problems what-so-ever! Now enough with small talk and kissing the ass: guys I really need help!
As you can all see I'm noobiest of all noobs when it comes to Android so I'm asking for straight forward answer - what am I doing wrong?! Recently I bought Experia Miro and almost instantly realized there's much to learn but I've heard of that famous rooting and got to it like fly on the crap!
I checked almost every thread you guys have and used a simple method of SuperOneClick (step by step explained in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and soon afterwards downloaded SDK (with update packages and all), but it seems that every time I get stuck at step #5 at which point I get that famous "waiting for device" line and then nothing!
So pretty please, with sugar and cherry on top, tell me what am I doing wrong?
forget that! just download "unlockroot" free version software!
run it and click root!

Not sure where to start from (as I said, I'm more then amateur in Android operations) thus I need some serious help cuzz it seems that my phone drastically declined in performance since rooting....
Even more so, I'd like to know a bit more about some processor overclocking, it seems that 800MHz and 512MB RAM just won't do the trick
Further more it says that it's not allowed to unlock bootloader and as far as I can see from post made by Sony Experia officials (http: //unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) I won't be able to flash any custom ROMs nor Kernels?
I think there might be some ways to unlock the bootloader with status no. I don't know how but you should search or ask some developer about that!
About overclocking, you need to install a custom kernel with overclock support, but there isn't any such stable kernel for Miro. Devs still working on it.
I would suggest you to stick with the lockee bootloaders custom roms if you want performance!
Currently im using the gamerz rom and the performance is GOOD!

It did and I successfully rooted my device (with SuperSU and everything) but it seems I can't unloock bootloader (thus can't flash any ROM into the device).
I tried with SE Bootloader Unlocking (ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613) but it's stuck at getting the unlock code (I'm not sure if it's even possibl to fastboot my device)...

Hi,
First of all I believe this is a development thread, and It should probably be moved there but since I am new I was not allowed to post there.
Now I recently downloaded the entire source tree from aosp and I compiled version 4.3 JB. It went smooth and it made the appropriate system.img image. I wanted to port this to Xperia E Single Sim. I begin by first downloading CyanogenMod nanhu SS zip file and extracted the boot.img file from it (Since that's the kernel) I then wrote an extremely simple updater-script which basically flashed the system.img onto the system partition. zipped it up then ran TWRP and flashed the zip file. It asked me whether I wanted to install root and I said yes, after it installed root, I rebooted the phone and it is stuck at bootloop. I am stuck here as I do not know how to proceed to try and port this pure aosp rom to it. I hope you can shed any light on what I am supposed to do.
Haven't u use the @jjm34 cwm kernel yet?
Sent from my C1505 using xda app-developers app
Yes possibly it will be a good thread, if any developer can start developing for this device.
Sent from my C1605 using Tapatalk 2
The @jjm34 kernel is basically a Stock kernel, It's based on Sony's stock kernel, in order to run a pure aosp rom, you would have to compile a kernel yourself BASED on something. I am yet to learn how to do this, I dont know how to set up my device tree in such a way that when I run the lunch command, I should be able to build for the xperia E SS.
Why focus on a pure AOSP kernel? Just port Sony's kernel for now. Otherwise there will be a lot of problems with RIL and all..
any updates about this development? i'm really desperate getting the aosp rom for xperia e because i really don't like the sony's stock rom...

Your first post on XDA is against the rules of XDA. You should read them.
If you are so desperate you should get a different phone that has active development or develop yourself.
We do not appreciate your type of desperation here. There are more valid reasons in life to feel desperation, not having AOSP is not one of them. If you still feel this way in a couple of days I advise you seek medical help.

They found a way to get CWM on the phone, but not running custom ROM's with a locked bootloader, so if this could be adapted, it would be cool, but their work has nothing to do with this.

Hey.
The trick is really simple. We load cm ramdisk by patching any script which is executed by init. For example /system/bin/nfc_check.
However there's one catch. Since we can't change the core zimage, the stock zimage should be compatible with cm android version. 4.1.2 = cm10 in case of Xperia S. Thus it is safe to assume that cm10.1 can be booted on L. Only thing we've to worry about are the graphic drivers. Infact, Sony 8255 device kernels could run stock, cm9, cm10, cm10.1. Android sdk version was determined by busybox GREP and ramdisk was loaded accordingly.
I'll let you know when I chalk out my plans.
Hello!
I'm ajesushn, I come from ginger (Galaxy Ace S5830i) and in my opinion JB look like very complicated to flash (compared to ginger).
At first, I would want to know which is the difference between official unlock bootloader method (Sony and FreeXperia method) and flashtool method??
At second, I'm very excited due to cyanogenmod 10 is available for nanhu but I have been searching a especific changelog for nanhu or the buglist in the FreeXperis Project website but I have not found it. I search this because I saw a GSM bug in some website but I didn't see the solution or if this bug has been fix yet. So, is it CM10 100% working (GSM too)?
Thats all and thanks for your attention.

Hey!
I come from Gingerbread as well (Micromax Bolt A27, super cheap phone), and I think JB is actually easier to use/flash than GB. But keep your opinion, don't copy mine if you don't want to.
1. The difference... I honestly see none. I've unlocked and relocked, once unlocked with Sony, once with Flashtool. Either time, I saw no difference. They might even be the same thing, with Flashtool doing nothing but automating the process.
2. Don't use FXP. FXP, while good development, is incomplete. Instead, use this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330638 (made by jjm34), and this kernel: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B73-53ZX-WVRSGxDZFBjNURBdm8/edit (made by hsr0). This is the best CM10 you can get, the only bugs being:
a) Video recording doesn't work.
b) Compass/magnetometer doesn't work (nobody ever pointed this out, but it's true).
c) GSM randomly fails for some people.
d) In a couple of cases, Bluetooth had problems.
Note that it's a very, very low chance you'll get bugs c) and d), but I've got both, so I'm currently using stock.

Yep. I'm back at bug d and e -.-
No CyanogenMod for me, until CM11. I'm getting real tired. This is the second time in 2 weeks. If I have to flash the same ROM every week, I might as well stay stock.
@OP: You can always try CM10, but my advice is to stay stock until CM11 arrives, hot off the press with development still being active!
Have a nice day
Thank you for your answer!
I think that I prefer waiting for a stable CM11 release. Cross finger!

Frankly speaking, if Sony wanted to update nanhu to KitKat, they'd have updated it to 4.2 and 4.3 too. But we're still at 4.1. Moral of the story: no, sorry. UltraGamerHD and hsr0 are working on CM11, but you'll have to wait a bit.

Before unlocking, root your device, and backup the TA partition. Now unlock, and whenever you want to relock, simply reflash the TA partition.
I don't think the SDK or anything else is needed, as I never installed it. However, I do always keep Minimal ADB and Fastboot on my laptop (it's basically ADB and Fastboot without downloading the whole SDK).
This last line you said confuses me. Who said unlocking causes malfunctions? Sony? If it's Sony, they're warning you that with an unlocked bootloader, you're likely to flash new system images, different kernels, stuff like that. Doing all that has a chance that you'll brick your phone. Of course, it doesn't usually happen, but there's always a chance. To restore, you can usually flash the stock FTF file, so that's no big problem.
Hi!
At "Original Android Development" thread there is a Tapioca CM11 thread but, this say "device maintaner: (...) E -> hsr0" so , is it a nanhu CM11 thread too? Is it a common CM11 thread if the title say "Tapioca"? I'm confused
