Hi,
-I want to root my device, so what's the safest way to root it ?
(explain the method here or give me links!)
-and what Rom do u prefer to use in my phone after rooting it ?
(custom rom or stock rom, but all features most work perfectly and the phone should work smooth)
I am running ICS 4.0.3 and My phone is Middle East version & it's important that the rom that I will put in my device fully support (Arabic language) like the original one does!
See attachment to know all the info of my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
Follow this thread and download the zip file, read the on screen instructions and just run the .bat file and you'll have root..
And for the rom, try Arconium ICS or Mooded ICS.. They both support Arabic languages!

Thanks alot gire.prasad for your helpful reply
my phone now rooted successfully!
I am thinking in staying with the orginal stock software (the original SE ICS 4.0.3)
So now I just rooted the device, and I will try to free up the internal memory
note: I was facing some application hanging when I try to use them before rooting the device like :
-Phone
_Contacts
-Xperia Gallery
-Messaging
So will freeing up internal memory space solve this hanging problem ?
Thanks!
Glad you got root!
It wont.. The apps freezing is due to Stock ICS and freeing up internal memory simply doesn't help it.. Tweaking should help a bit or try different rom.. If you prefer stock rom, then try supercharging the rom using V6 SuperCharger script and using that script try to bulletproof those apps you mentioned! It'll help a lot and make the rom even more smoother and faster..
Need some help for doing it?

Hey guys,
This is my first thread...
So i got my Gio in april of this year, rooted in juli, flashed CM 2 days ago (did nandroid backup), and i think im ready to flash a new rom.
I have been searching on XDA for quite some time now but i can't seem to find a propre version of CyanogenMod 7.2.
I saw phiex (or what is he called again) thread and that version looks good but the thread is closed and his download link is dead.
I'm looking for a verry-stable ROM.
Does anyone have a link to the download / better version / suggestion for another ROM?
Also, i heard nandroid does not include the kernel... How to get back to stock kernel again if u need to? Just plain ODIN flashing?
When a flash fails and your phone is bricked. Will CWM be able to restore it?
I read somewhere Samsung has a binary counter to see if your phone is flashed to check if your warranty is still valid. Does Gio have this? Forum said you could see it when going into download mode, but i didn't see it when i checked.
If something happens to the phone (like when battery can't live without charger) and you have to send it back to Samsung, is it possible to remove all traces of root and flashing? How?
The apps2SD in CM, will it move all data to SD-card or is it like in the stock rom. (because internal mem is a serieus problem on Gio)
Last question: Will CM affect the market? I mean will you be able to download Temple Run for example, wich is not possible in stock.
Sorry for the huge amount of questions... :/
Who wants to help this flash-noob?
Thanks in advance,

-Install cm7 by marcin1147.
Its very stable.
-If u want a fast stable beatiful rom try MIUI GB by frankin96.
-If u want a new android version install latest cm9 by erikcas.
Its completely working except camcorder. Ics 4.0.4
-BTW for memory problem use link2sd. Its the best way to move all user apps and data to sd-ext.

LOL erickas cm9 laggs like hell I use CM9 by MaclawStudio and for memory problem use s2e better than darktremor and link2sd
I'll look into those roms.
MIUI does look nice, indeed.
I used Link2SD before btw and it wasn't all that great.
My memory filled up even with everything that could be moved moved to my SD.
Thanks guys!
Use Marcin his cm7 or Phiexz his cm7. Phiexz one is a little bit outdated but works great (his website is down).
Use a script for more intern memory like Amarullz ad2sdx script or CronMod-INT2EXT+ or intext4 if you have an ext4 partition on sd ext.

I've had great experiences with Link2SD. The only problem I had was that at some point Facebook wouldn't install, stating there wasn't enough memory. That was with about 65Mb of internal memory free...
A bigger problem was all those apps gobbling up CPU by apparently keeping stuff running in the background, which slowed things down considerably. So at the moment I *do* have apps installed and most of them are moved to the SD using Link2SD, but I don't have *too* many apps installed.
I use link2sd. Before i used S2E but experienced heavy laggs even with most stable rom though link2sd is good enough I have free 115 MB left in internal memory good enough for me.

-if you want go back to stock rom you must flash it with odin. nandroid backup doesn't work with stock roms because of different filesystems. and yes nandroid includes the kernel.
-when you softbrick your phone you can still arive the download mode. if it's an hardbrick your phone is dead (i am not sure if this is correct)
-the binary counter is only in the high-end phones like s2
-dont use app2sd. link2sd is the best
-no you cant download temple run. but its not rom related it's cpu related. temple run needs an armv7 cpu but our gio only has
an armv6.
you can download and install all apps which are available for stock rom on custom roms too...
i hope it helps you a little bit
sorry for my bad englisch
For me democrazy rom was the best cm 7.2 rom I ever used... untill now, recently flashed cyanmobile official, also has cm- settings and more included and I think its the least laggy rom I ever expirienced. Both roms work flawless with cronmod' s int2ext+ script.
My experience is that GB based roms always outperform ICS or JB based roms. With holo launcher you can add some ics style and features to GB without performance loss

yeah cm7.2 by marcin is very stable... it has no bugs and it's very smooth...
try it here is the link cm7.2 by marcin
i am using this rom for months and i am very happy with it... thx marcin :good:
I think CM 7.2 by Marcin is stable and speedly rom. But cm9/cm10 is more smooth(but some bugs, for example non-working videorecording e.t.c...).
PS when developers release a stable build of cm9/10 then this rom becomes the best rom much ever

I'm using JellyBread v2 now and i really like it, but the battery gets drained so fast...
I installed JuiceDefender but I didn't notice any changes.
I also don't want to underclock (think it's called that way), I like the performance as it is now.
The way it is now is okay, when I unplug the charger in the morning at 100%, I come home with 16%. (with some gaming on the bus)
But if I don't go home directly... Yeah...
How to save battery on cm-based roms?

I suggest you flash a custom kernel say cake kernel (search it in dev section).
make a ext4 partition (1 GB primary partition) (Can be made with custom recovery)
download link2sd and mount partition
reboot.
I would like to join the question. I've got some kind of stock rooted ROM with Hebrew support. So I still want to use it. I've installed pimp my rom and add init.d support. What can I install now in order to use an EXT partition? I'm looking for something similar to S2E on CM.
Link2SD didn't seem to work up until now.
yes flashing custom kernal will create int.d ... make a second partition... and flash one of this whatever you want...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 ...
i tried sometime... it doesnt worked for me.. try your luck...i red sometime it will work... if it works tell me,,,,
but sure link2sd will work... try sukhjit321 post above if you want...
I've added init.d support with Pimp My Rom, partitioned and flashed zip with INT2EXT+ with no luck. What I'm missing here?

This is a port of PAC 4.2.2 v22.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177236
For further information you should go to that thread and see what the ROM is capable of.
All i have done is change the KERNEL with BPauls kernel from his CM10.1 Rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262795
and also changed the build.prop and updater-script so that it would install on the Xperia Acro S.
All bugs present in the original ROM will most likely also be present now.
Credits go to funky0308, Shingers5 and Vertigo for the ROM and Bpaul for the kernel.
---------------------
Latest Relase (14/05/13) ****Small issue with mounting the normal storage wait till i fix that before installing this version if you downloaded it, if you have already go back to recovery and install my previous version then i will fix and you can install the new one.
Fixed External SD card not mounting
Fixed Rotation Issue
Initial Release (13/05/13)
Download the ROM from Download mirror
GAPPS from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Install Instructions are:
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Extract and Flash boot.img from hikari_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v22.1.1_Themed-v2.zip (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
3. Go in to recovery:
-- On boot led will be violet for 3 second. During this period press vol+
-- Flash ROM
-- Flash Gapps
-- Wipe data (factory reset)
-- Reboot.
If coming from BPauls CM 10.1 or Official CM10 you can skip step 1 and 2.
If coming from a previous build of mine you can skip the WIPE data part as well unless you get FC i have never had an issue.
Known Bugs
none as of 14/05/13
1)Hi The rotation is wrong, when you turn right the phone turng left and when you put head up the phone head off
2)Dont install the External SD Card (microsd)
You use the ACRO S kernel or S Kernel ?? this is very important

I used the Acro S kernel from BPaul so it should work i will take a look at it tonight might just be a lib file i missed.
When i was using root explorer it did say SDCARD0 and 1 so it might have something to do with that so i will see if the microSD card is being mounted properly, been meaning to buy one so will grab one and test.
Also i will look into the proximity sensor probably the same issue with rotation too.
OK my friend, surely any file is missed about Rotation and SDCARD01 (microsd)
Thanks a lot...and your ROM is GUAUUUUU only thats two bug

However if i do get around to building everything from source i will be sure to limit what is installed by default.
Have a question, If I come from BPaul ROM 4.2.2 if necesary Flash boot.img from hikari_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v22.1.1_Themed-v2.zip ?? or Can used the boot.img from BPAUL ??

You could always message vertigo as he's the official PAC man and tell him what you've done and ask if you can post it in development. As long as it credits the correct people (which u already have) i wouldn't have thought that would be a problem?

You should try taking your data.yaffs2 image file from a cwm backup, extract it using unyaffs (just google it) and take the /app folder under the extracted directory.
Then, make a flashable zip that mounts /data and then extract it, and it should be working fine
Edit:
about touchpads, I think that the changes would pretty much be located into the framework.jar, so try taking it from an ics rom that has touchpads working
