So i m new to android phones was using nokia for long time...i just need little help in deciding which custom rom is more stable and latest?like paranoid confused me a bit..and i really like the looks of xperia z rom also....
so need some advice.plzzzzzzz
other things i have on my mind is that i have rooted my phone and i read that one should always made a backup of original rom.How to made that back up ????and lets say if i chose and install a rom like xperia z and then want to shift on paranoid or may be a latest version of any custom rom so then also i can always go back to my old original rom which i backed up??
i guess that can save my warranty or not ???
No warranty, if you unlock bootloader. Going back to stock? Use pc companion repair or .ftf for flashtool.

For me the most stable and smooth rom is Slim Bean Build 3
For backup try looking in Google for the rom version you have installed in stock

hi there
I updated my xperia pro from the default 2.3 to ics 4.0.4 and now it is very slow. I backup all my data, and did a hard reset (and ics was the default after it), but it is now the same. why is it?
thanks

I read somewhere that resetting to factory configuration solves some lag problems, but overall stock ICS rom is just that slow.
My xperia pro has a locked bootloader, so custom rom options are minimal, however I recommend Ice Cream Pureness, I use that one and it is waaaaay faster and smooth than stock ICS rom, I'm very happy with it.
There's also Jelly Sandwich... I've read it's even faster... gotta try that one next month maybe.
If your phone has an unlockable bootloader, your choices are way better... and faster since you can actually flash it a better kernel. Search through Arc S forum (xperia pro does not have own forum section so we're there)
Hi friends,
I am pretty new to this forum and before a couple of days i did a research regarding Flashing Kernals and Roms(Dont knw whether my concepts regarding that is right or wrong) and currently i have installed Cyanogen 9.1 for my device.Now let me ask a couple of questions i have for you guys.
1.Will I be able to update my phone and bring back to old ICS firmware via SUS once i brick my phone(I have already unlocked the bootloader via fastboot method)?
2.Evrytime when i flash the Rom(say CM9) i used to flash kernal(boot.img) for the respective rom.Is this necessary all the time?
Will i able to flash a GB rom on ICS kernal(I am afraid to give it a test)?
3.Regarding CM9.1 which i have installed ryt now,I am satisfied with the performance,but i want a stable ROM wud make me happy with a better battery life unlike CM9.1.So could you pls suggest me a GB/ICS ROM which wud have a stable performance with descent battery life.
4.After using GB for a long time,i was very much addicted with the Phone pad kinda keyboard,but when ICS came into picture everything vanished,Smartkeyboard Pro is no gud,Touchpal is conjusted,i want the exact GB keyboard in ICS.Any ideas?!!

Hello people..
I am new here and currently using Sony Ericsson Xperia pro (MK16i) with base ROM as the Jelly Sandwich 8.5.
Although I use that ROM, I have made many modifications..and the ROM is totally different.
All the MODs are from different places and now I love the way my phone looks.
So, now the problem is.. I wanted to backup the whole ROM and make a new flashable ROM. As you all know, my phone is 2011 series Xperia and single-core only, so I guess flashing back the gingerbread would be a nice idea. I don't want ICS anymore as I am getting a Xperia Z soon for all those stuffs.
Any help people? Just wanted to backup the whole thing I modified and keep it as a flashable zip.. So that I can flash it anytime I wish to come back to this ROM..
Thanks..:highfive:

Currently there is only 4.0,4.1.2 and 4.4 rom for Xperia J
If you want a 4.2.2+ rom,there is only one 4.4 rom,You may want to know that it's still in alpha version,laggy and camera not working

i have tried stock base rom having z or z2 stuff but all are having some issue like white text in setting>app>downloaded and some are having lags

Sorry for late reply,
I suggest you to use PA rom made by lozohcum,it's base on cm10
PA ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326477
As you tried a few custom rom,you may notice that the screen won't light up when someone dial-in, you need to press the lockscreen button twice in order to pick up the phone.
also,the illumination bar isn't working normally in cm10,you can try it first and you can disable it from setting page after you flash the rom.

You might want to use walkman to work on your phone,I am using this,
Download : http://d-h.st/HOJ
Original link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43100933&postcount=229
Since album and movie app update a lot, google yourself "album for 4.1.2" and "movie for 4.1.2"
It's better for you to use CM10 or stock JB since the CM11 is still buggy
If you fell your phone is laggy, use vengance kernel for the stock JB 4.1.2
Here is the list of tweaks, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947926
It works for all phone.
Hopes it help you! :laugh:
Hello ..
I recently bought an Xperia J and i rooted it.Right now I'm trying to flash custom rom on it but when i do all the steps,and after I installed some "buggy" CWM and flashed rom I just got mix of my stock rom and the new one,it was fail.Someone help me pls. Give me some steps.
Thank you.
Download Flashtool and stock ftf flash it. If you have looked bootloader you can use PC Companion there is repair option.
Good Luck.
Xperia M2 D2303 on K.K. 4.4.4
I alredy got back to my stock .31 JB and flashed custom kernel and I use it,but I want some custom OS but when I flash them they're full of bugs,can't even run them propperly.Phone crashes,Settings,everything just crashes.Also when I flash CWM (I found it on xda topic and downloaded it) and when I scroll it's full of bugs,screen shuts down,just bugs everywhere.
Yeah, i tried few roms, i liked CM but I'm on stock .31 now, clean it from apps that i don't needed, themed it a little, it's working good, im satisfied.
About CWM, i flash CM kernel, go in CWM, do what I have to do, flash stock kernel.

Try flashing stock kernel first, the cwm i use from CM kernel when finished i flash stock kernel in order to boot. If you don't have stock kernel, in Flashtool just leave the kernel in ftf unchecked.
Good Luck.
