Root X10 mini with Android 2.3 Custom ROM (functions)

[klon999]

Hi there,

As Sony Ericsson did not care to update this phone to Android 2.3 (!) with sooo many explanations, but no action, I have rooted my X10 mini and tried several Custom ROMs with 2.3. The main features I expected from this upgrade are:

- installation of apps to SD card
- enabling hotspot on X10 mini (wi-fi tethering)
- support for Adobe Flash (web-browsing with flash)

However, I succeeded only with "apps to SD".

Although the Custom ROMs I tried provided the possibility of making of wireless hotspot in their settings menu, it did not work for me (it said that it was starting, but nothing else happened). I also tried several external apps like Barnacle wi-fi tether, etc., but non of them worked either. Anyway, I would prefer to work that kind of "native" wi-fi tethering included in the settings menu without external app need.

For playing flash videos on websites I used to use Skyfire web-browser on stock Android 2.1, but it does not work on Custom ROMs with 2.3 somehow. Anyway again, I supposed that Adobe Flash support was one of the features, which should be supported natively in 2.3.

Can anybody help me with some of these two issues above, please?

Thanks a lot.
