How to use Rom manager - General Questions and Answers

Hi. I'm new to this stuff!
But I never understanded how to use Rom manager!
I have a Sony Ericsson xperia ray
St18i. My other phone Samsung galaxy gio got bricked!
Can somebody explain how to use it cause I don't want to brick this phone! Thank you!

I'd start reading stickies in your device's forum - I'm sure the information is there. If your device doesn't have its own forum, I'd check Google. ROM Manager doesn't work for every device and there are multiple ways that its use could cause bricking.

ROM Manager won't work on Sony phones - at least not on my Neo V. It needs to install ClockWorkMod to work properly. But CWM will only tell you that your Sony is not a supported device. I have CWM on my rooted phone but ROM Manager cannot use that.
And, a very happy New Year to you and all at XDA!

Have you tried TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)? When I switched over to that from CWM, GooManger was included and I think it's much simpler.

easy, you can see menu in Rom manager. example: fix permissions : for fix permission to prevent force close, download rom : for download rom
maybe like it. .

[Q] How to root Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman running Android 4.0.4?

Hi all! I'm a considerable new comer to the world of Android. I bought my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman in April this year and I have been running Gingerbread 2.3.4 build .62. I rooted it by following the steps listed out here.
Now that ICS is out I would like to give it a go. However the Update Center app on my phone says that I have the latest software and even PC Companion and SUS says the same thing (although sony says the update has been rolled out for my device's SI number). Anyways I found the ROM (ftf File) online and thought I'd do it manually via Flashtool.
On looking for a way to root it I found a tutorial by tracer123 where the polish blood project kernel has to be flashed. While trying to find out more about this kernel I learned that WiFi tether is not working and this feature is pretty important to me; the other features that don't work aren't quite as important and I don't mind not having them.
So my question is, is there another way to root android 4.0.4 on my LwW?
P.S. - I did find a tutorial similar to tracer123's (where the it's downgraded to a previous version, rooted and then uploaded) in the Sony support forum but since 4.0.4 is the first version of ICS to roll out to LwW I was stuck once more
have you try this method?

[Q] Please help!

Hello, I recently rooted my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, everything was working fine.
So I decided to install a custom ROM ( Jelly Sandwich )
but after the installation, my device is stuck on the Sony logo, I can't even access flashmode to flash it back. Please help! Thank you.
Sir, do not bump your thread only after 30 min posting, allow user that provide assistance time...or better yet while waiting for some help, do a search to help yourself.
Thanks and Stand by

[Q] Making my J faster

I got a Xperia J for my son.
In first the phone was easy to use.
Now it is as slow as a phone of 4 years old.
I am looking for a rom that makes the phone faster and maby pretyer to look at.
If i am looking in the sections of the roms i don't know with one i must pick.This because i never flashed a phone before.
That means i don't know if i can go into recovery right away. Maby i must do something before i can do that??
Can someone help me by telling me how to flash my phone with a new rom and off course with rom to choose.
This because i don't know with one.Not every rom is compatible with the J.
Thanks for your time to help this beginner/noob hahahaha
1. Factory reset + clear all
2. Just do root
3. Boost my xperia + pimp my rom
Do this 3 first. If still slow, then unlock bootloader and find rom.
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i
Can you tell me how i must do a root?
I can't find the right way.
Sorry but i am new at this.
You can use unlockroot, or ishuaji_root, or 360
shouji root. Only unlockroot is in english, the others are in chinese. You can also just search inside xda for the other method.

Before you flash a custom Rom I would like to recommend that you try this and see how it works : https://www.box.com/s/6oe7hg5yfweb642ovk86 . Just install it, place the phone on a flat and stable surface( like a table) and calibrate.
It worked like magic for me. I had serious problems with the lag and after I tried this little apk everything works flawless. I don't even recognize my J.

It's a simple touch screen calibration app.
Try it and see if it's what you are looking for.
It doesnt work a lot on my J.
So i think i must install a custom rom.
But with one is simpel to install?
I have NEVER done a root of flash a rom.
If someone can tell me or hase a howto please let me know.
Also if you know what a good working rom (without bugs) is , also let me know!
I'm also a newbie,but in Sony phones recovery does not come pre installed.you will have to install CWM for that..since xperia j is an old model,there would be many options for you...think of rooting and installing clock workmod(CWM).and from there u can do something...
Thank me if I helped you..
