[Q] Xperia J custom rom help

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

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:

xperia m2 aqua supercharged kernel by timipisoboy

Hey.
Welcome to my second post about xperia m2 aqua kernel.
When seeing that nobody has nothing made for m2 aqua yet (only root) i decided to also made custom kernel.
Download link:
MOD EDIT removed due to GPLv2 @gregbradley
You need to unlock bootloader witch tutorial you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/m2-aqua-simple-root-unlock-bootloader-t3069957
The kernel is blazing fast and you shoud already see it when booting up phone.
It's still in the beta but it has preinstalled cwm, i just need to configure the buttons corectly and that's that!
Known bugs?
-None for now
-Except not yet established cwm(not a bug but still)
Additional:
-Faster speed
-Fixed accelometer bug when it's stops working
-Potentialy longer battery life(still not aproved)
Installation:
Just flash M2_AQUA_SUPERKERNEL_TIMIPISOBOY.img via fastboot with flashtool or adb!
Special thanks to DOOMLORD!!!
Stay tuned because im working on custom rom whic is basicaly based on stock just fasteren up and removed some not important apps.
Basicaly if i won't get the cwm on my kernel i'll use XM2-AdvStkKernel_DooMLoRD_ramdisk kernel with know working cwm but bootlooped on m2 aqua.
Just a comad-line more when zip install to remove current boot and replace it with mine.
Thanks and stay tuned!!!!
Tell me if you have any troubles or known bugs.

Bad for me because i have locked botloader, but i gett rooted my phone and its was very easy. So do you thing about Aosp project for aqua?

yes

I am porting cyanogen 12 from m2 to aqua and it's nearly finished only before the gui is bootlooped.
Stay tuned!

Great man

Now I'm working on easy root without needing to unlock botloader and custom rom

Hey, i have a quastion now my phone is rooted, i have Phliz Recovery, and last sotfware, can i flash this karnel and lose anything? Sorry for bad English

You can't use custom kernel with locked bootloader
Xperia M2 D2303 stock 4.4.4 kk rooted l/b philz touch recovery xposed mods bravia engine 2+x-reality viperaudio

Custom rom?

What did you change in the kernel that makes it faster than the original one?

CM12.1 for Xperia C3 D2533

Good day all.
Due to the lack of a single Custom ROM for our beloved Xperia C3, I have taken it upon myself to develop CyanogenMod 12.1 for it. If you are reading this and have any experience with developing ROMs or would like to beta test the ROM, please contact me either over PM or via email at [email protected].
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Riccorbypro

You first need a working recovery for the rom, that's the main thing needed for anyone who took the risk of rooting the rom. And then hack open the bootloader >.>
I don't mind testing, but this is the only phone I have and I can't afford another (college student here too). So this is a list I made when anyone asks me about installing custom roms.
1. Have a trusted source compile a working recovery, and test backed up rom to ensure it works
2. A flashable tool+stock rom that works
3. List of identified errors with their possible solutions that confirmed works
Sorry, I'm not putting much hope into this phone but if anything ever works, this is my proposed counter to Murphy's Law.
Edit: if you're looking at AOSP similarities, you might want to try Carbon Rom for a starter, but that's my personal taste. My last N7000 ran Carbon KitKat and it was one of the most stable I've had.

If you're looking for recovery, XZDR for the T2U works perfectly on C3. I'm able to do anything recovery-related on the TWRP variant. Go to http://nut.xperia-files.com/ and build your kernel using D5303 device and then D2533 firmware presets. If you need to upload the kernel, use XperiFirm to download your firmware and use your kernel.sin. Or you can use the installer for T2U from the same site. Make sure to use the 2.8.21 variant though.
Works 100%.

XperiFirm + Flashtool. Never let me down.
Also, the Bootloader of C3 uses the same unlock code as the Z3 Compact. Tried it a few weeks ago, running unlocked right now.
Can't say anything about 3 yet, need to get the ROM booting first...
I will always trust CyanogenMod. I have also tried Carbon. I didn't like it. I decided to build CyanogenMod because it is the most popular ROM for most phones, and I feel that it is also the best. The last 3 phones that I have had (From my first "smartphone", the Galaxy I5500, to my last one before C3, the Galaxy I9500 (S4 Qualcomm)) CyanogenMod has always run the best on them. This is why I am building CM12.1, and not Carbon. Once I have actually managed to get CM up and running, I might re-evaluate the situation and build Carbon too. For now, CM is the main focus of my attention.

Hmm, thanks for the info then. Hopefully the rom will have a fix for the rear camera imaging as well, it's a huge turnoff for the C3. Maybe I'll compile a kernel with the recovery but that will be quite a long ways ahead. Anyhoo, one last question; does the CM12 for Xperia have a Stamina mode as well? I'm not familiar with the Xperia roms, and have been using a substitute Xposed app on other devices similar to Stamina.

No, CM12.1 DOES NOT have Stamina. Stamina Mode is an Xperia exclusive. However, I find that even when running stock ROM, I have no need for Stamina Mode. AOSP Lollipop, and, by extension, CM12, has a "Battery Saver" mode that kicks in at 15% battery, but that is about it. I'm sure that the Xposed Module that you're using would work, though.
