Hi All,

I just recently purchased this phone, upgrade to ICS but now my physical keyboard layout is AZERTY (instead of QWERTY). It's quite annoying honestly so I read that I can remap the key but then I need root.

So which method should I use? I was going to try Rexstor method but I thought I might ask first just in case. Or should I just unlock the bootloader and use Kayro method?

My current build number is 4.1.B.0.431

Thanks!

I use the Sony Update software actually, and the phone is an AP set but it does have Malay language setting so I'm assuming it's for Malaysian market?

Hi all, since C9 RC1 is already available for our device.. do you guys know any guide that I can view to help me flash the rom?

There's no dedicated xda thread for this and it seems like this phone is not very popular as well.. really hard to find a well written guide.

Anyone already using CM9 can write a step by step instruction? Many thanks.

H/W keyboard lighting doesn't work? Ah.. that's too bad. Maybe I'll wait until it got sorted out before flashing this rom. I don't really care about the other issue.

Thanks for taking your time to write the tutorial though smile.gif
