CWM sony xperia s - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

i have unlock bootloader and rooted my xperia s , anbd i install a lot of roms and i change between kernels a lot which means i have a lot of different versions of CWM , i found a folder in sdcard /clockworkmod called blobs , the folder contained about 2 gb and about 4650 files , are they important , can i delete them ? i can't ask the devs of cwm because they don't have it officially supported by sony xperia s , so please answer my question

found this with a qhick google:
The blobs folder contains portions of your CWM backups.
When you make a new backup, CWM checks the blobs folder to see what has changed between backups, since it's likely that a lot has remained the same.
This can actually save a lot of space, and make backups happen faster.

I asume you also have an Xperia S, you can unlock its bootloader by going to: unlockbootloader.sonymobile.c om./instructions (without the space between c and om )
Because I have a Xperia S myself, the only MOD I have experience with is CyanogenMod. It is a very good one in my eye's here is a link on how to download and install it on your Xperia: /androidlegend.c om/xperia-s-update-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean-with-cyanogenmod-10 (without the space between c and om )
P.S. You MUST unlock your Xperia's bootloader before doing anything else with it..... If you don't understand how to do all this stuff, PLEASE do not start with this.

[Guide] Build Your own Miui Rom for Acro S in 5 minutes

Hi, I have put together a set of files and scripts to help you build your own miui rom for Acro S. You need to use Miui Rom for Xperia S (LT26i) as a base. I have tested using the version from MiuiAndroid. It should work for other versions with different language.
It is based on erenz1202's excellent script here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294451
Basically it'll take you 30s to prepare the files and about 5 min to build a rom
It is for Windows and you need to have java sdk installed
[Link] - do not mirror
http://www.mediafire.com/?0zbycmactufavrb
md5sum: 6c5c0a0f743d6427e164b6174eb56bb2
[Credits]
1. erenz1202 - for the original script
2. All the Miui Rom developers
3. Soheil - for the original SDMounter
[Instructions]
1. unzip the file Acros_Miui_Builder.zip to any folder, let's use d:\template as example
2. edit d:\template\temp\build.prop to contain the correct version number
3. copy original rom's system folders to d:\template\source - it should have sub-folders like app, bin, etc ...
4. open command prompt, cd to d:\template (the root folder of this script)
5. type: build
6. relax and wait 5 min. Then copy d:\template\my_rom.zip to sdcard
7. boot into cwm and backup your current rom
8. do a factory reset and install my_rom.zip
9. enjoy
This is wonderful, hope there have another script or tools can convert Xperia S's ROM to ACRO S.

At first I intend it to be general but when I tried it on Eratcher's rom - it caused bootloop unless I put back original rom's framework-res.apk. No time to figure out the reason yet
Other than that everything, eg screen rotation ..., works
Extenal SD card can be used now?
@cobrato
thanks this is just great. I'm not a developer more an advanced user but this is simple, strait forward and it works!
Thanks
Hey cobrato! Any way to adapt this method to work with the Xperia Ion?
Thanks for the great work cobrato.
I have not used it yet but can I assume you need an unlocked bootloader to install one of these ROMs ?
Cheers, LL13-

You don't need unlocked bootloader but you need to have rooted rom with cwm installed.

[DEODEXED - 29/4/13][ROM] Xperia SL LT26ii Flashable 6.1.A.2.55 [Pre-rooted]

Hello everyone,
This is the stock 6.1.A.2.55 rom for XPERIA SL LT26II as a flash-able CWM zip extracted and built by me. Some features are :-
---> Pre-rooted with latest Superuser binaries and apk.
---> Busybox pre-installed
---> Removed the apks in /system/etc/product and /system/etc/customization. These are the apks that are removable by the user without root but some times re-appear after a reboot.
---> Deodexed
---> Rest everything is absolutely stock. No other modifications.
---> Fixed USB, superuser and WiFi problem.
As I don't have a Xperia SL LT26ii, please let me know if the rom works. This rom should even work on locked bootloader.
Download link - http://d-h.st/Jc4
Installation instructions :-
0. Download the zip and place it in the internal storage of your phone.
1. Enter CWM.
2. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache. Then go to mounts and storage, format /system.
3. Select install zip from sd card ( the internal storage ).
4. Chose the zip and wait until installation is complete.
5. First boot may take some time.
6. Go to settings--->Apps--->All and force stop Superuser.
7. Enjoy and don't forget to press the thanks button.

Works on locked bootloader but I have trouble connecting to my WiFi (Stays stuck on 'Obtaining IP Address').
Don't know about Bravia Engine since I don't have time to test.
xLoud works perfectly.

Damn. Will fix everything asap, start building from base again.
As for the USB problem, just reboot twice and it should work. Also, has anyone tried flashing xperia sl rom on xperia s LT26i? If it works, then I can test before releasing the updated rom.:victory:

I´ll try it when it become deodexed. :good:
For now it passes all the setup and it will still notify that there is an new system update for 6.1.A.2.55 using PC Companion but don't update it, instead of updating it, flash your device with flashtools using your own stock 6.1.A.2.55 ftf by excluding system and wipe data, after doing this the the update will no longer required to update using PC Companion and you still have root access.
I have not fully tested the rom yet so in the meantime don't know if theres any bug, battery performance and others, will update here if everythings works fine.
Thanks for the ROM....

2. I have this kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761778

Do i need to follow below instruction, cause im using Sony Xperia SL.
ICS 4.0.4, with 6.1.A.2.55
HTML:
Any ROM for S will Work for SL BUT you lose 1.7GH Speed
ROMs for S Can be installed for SL Via Two Ways
Way 1. In ROM zip file Goto HERE: META INF / com / google / android (use 7-zip which can edit without extraction)
Now edit updater-script by deleting first 2 lines (if it has any)
Anything to do with device name and get.prop.*
then close zip file and flash
Way 2. Root your phone
install app which can edit build.prop
change All LT26ii to LT26i
Change Xperia SL to nozomi
Save, Reboot to recovery and follow ROM flashing instruction......

From my Xperia LT28at ION

Slow Development ?

im user Xperia Acro S and everyday i look around Acro S Android Development. .some of develepor not very serious about custom rom/custom kernel. .why ? Acro S too expensive to buy? or acro s been marginalized ? true story happened to the family acro s is some developers do NOT have that phone that develop for Acro S. .
Yes, very sad... and why???
Sent from my LT26w using xda premium
Both Ion and Acro S are the left over devices, if I can say like that, while S is the "main" one. Same applies for T being over V and TX/TL, and Z being over ZL.
from my research , just one problem with every custom rom is cant detect sdcard. .maybe thats why our acro s left behind. .
slow maybe but @deedwar is making improvements on his SlimBean and PACman roms

Most custom roms don't detect sdcard because there hacks of Xperia S and that is the one feature it doesn't have but if you know how you can modify the framework.apk it takes about 2 mins and add the required file make a small change to 3 other files in the ROMs zip file and your set. Feel free to do it. I will even do a guide on my PAC page if you want.
