Hey folks, my wife has a xperia Neo unrooted on official Ics, its blazing fast, on the other hand mine is an arc rooted on global ics and its slow. What can I do to improve this?

It doesn't no, and you're supposed to find out what root is before doing it then asking how to utilise it.

Actually, I have asked several other friends with Adnroid phones and they say that after rooting the phone get slower, my wife's is not rooted stock ICS and its faster than my rooted ARC on stok global ICS....and I rooted my phone mostly b/c I have titanium backup and after a rom install I get all the apps I backed up before..

Did you used doomlord's root toolkit to get root access, tchê? Are you using latest ICS (.587)?
No such a thing like slowing the phone down after root. It is the same, but if you manage to use this root, to change drivers, apps, scripts, etc, you can make it several times faster! I am happy that i have rooted and unlocked my arc.
Do i need to have root if my bl is unlocked and i want to flash custom rom?

If you installed a kernel that have CWM (eg: adv stock kernel), simply enter in CWM and flash the compatible custom rom. If you're still using the stock kernel (but I guess that's not your case, since there's no point in unlock BL if you're gonna use stock kernel), you'll need root to install CWM to flash the custom rom.
First i will flash custom kernel for unlocked bootloader, of course, so i dont need to root this stock software?

It won't be the root that's caused their Phones it will be whatever mods they've made.

No such thing I've heard 83732727629947721 different stories of that. either you
1) didn't root it properly
2) installed a mod that made your phone slow

No... I don't see any diference
What you do after rooting matters, you just have to tweak ur phone n it will be blazing fast!
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Definitely nope. It's the room, believe on me. I had several roms including the original sony's one, I wanted to burn my phone, but now I have a jellybean ROM and it's fast as hell, I feel like I have the best phone in the world.

'Best' ROM is always going to be a subjective matter. Just install a few and try them out over a couple of days, then you can decide yourself.
Try CM9, ICS, CM7, Keiran's ROMs (MIUI), Cola ROM etc; there's loads to choose from
Depends what you want the Play for, but if you want a fully working phone just stick with the stock one. There's plenty of tweaks to get the best out of it without losing bluetooth or the touchpad etc like the alternative roms do.
many roms that you have posted don't work correctly, specially the 3G. I think that i use original firmware for now
maybe you can use jjkkyu's TrueAncestor ROM
i have just flashed hybrid evolution 5.2 with 36 baseband and #2 DoomLoRD kernel. its a nice rom, but it still has some flaws...for example i cant download anything via the google play market and the face lock is not working for me...
Im definitely staying with 4.x.x though, as for some reason i like it better than 2.x.x...
The ICS Beta based rom i have tried so far have been really sluggish
Might want to avoid those
I don't think the ICS roms are sluggish. I really like AOKP, ported by Supervenom. It works great. But it really depends on what you like. Maybe you like Miui, maybe you like CM. You'll have to find out yourself.
hi,
I have just rooted my xperia play using super one click.
everyhing is good, titanium said that it has permission so means the phone is rooted.
rom manager also is working fine saying phone is rooted.
i have have installed naZ cwm from playshop and i installed the cwm 5.
everything is alright.
but when i want to back a nandroid backup from either of the app mentioned above the phone boots but does not go into cwm.
i have partitioned the sd card (16gb)
av seen the cwm mode once after i restored the phone to normal and re rooted it never never seen the cwm mode again.
my question is what do i need to do so i can enter cwm mode?
thank you
peace

Try using an older version of the cwm app. The most recent app has issues. Try v5 and below.

No. It's more complicated than using an app. More than likely if your serious about unlocking your phone you should first read up on it more before doing anything drastic like unlocking it.
Please visit the development section and choose yourself.

is there a way to backup the current custom ics rom i have on my phone to a ftf flash file?
if its possible it can save me a lot of time if i downgrade to GB and then come back to my current ics rom because i dont need to root, worry about the base band and stuff like that.
is this possible? couldnt find anything on google :/
Nope
Not possible

Nope
But if you rooted ur mobile, when u update your mobile with PCC or SEUS, the root is gone. Only if your bootloader is locked.
Suppose if you rooted your mobile - you are able to take backup of current rom using rom manager and use the rom manager to install the backup rom. :laugh:
Note down phone details (Baseband, Android version etc.,). You will get everything from the XDA. :good:
Hit thanks if I helped you. :victory:

Didn't know that rom manager works on xperia arc?!
If you have rooted phone than install CWM and make nandroid backup,it's much easyer and it will restore everything you had on your phone when you did the backup.Cheers

Pfft... n00b..
Well if this were possible there would have been no reason to unlock the bootloader to install custom ROMs like CM or AOKP et al..
The main reason we cannot create an ftf file for a ROM other than Stock iss that we do not know how Sony encodes its files in the .sin format. I have been trying to decode and encode the .sin files but till now every try has been an epic Fail..

I guess after i've being using android for 3 years, unlocking bootloaders, rooting devices, flashing roms and kernels, overclocking, messing with scripts and used more than 1000+ apps im still a noob... pfft... did you just get owned? Or do i need to develop you a specific app for that?
Haha

Hi this is my second post in like a few mins. Embarrassing but oh well xD. So I just wanted to ask how do I flash my first custom ROM? I have root and a unlocked bootloader. Phone is an Xperia Pro from fido and I do have CWM Recovery installed. Am I safe to flash a rom? I really need to know because my phone is out of warranty -.-
THANKS!!
If your phone is already rooted i think you can just flash roms yeah, be sure to make a backup before, if it doesnt work you can just restore the backups.

here's your checklist
1. rooted
2. have cwm
:highfive:
Short answer; yes.
Just make sure you backup your current Rom in case sth happens
Sent from my lt18 using xda premium
Nothing is safer than flashing a Rom.There is just a thing you will lose all your data if you don't do a cwm backup and something goes wrong with flashing.But read a bit and you'll figure it out in no time.Good luck and welcome in the world of flashing and modding.

Wrong.
Continuously using fully stable and tweaked stock ROM is a lot more safer than flashing a new one.
Hi Everyone
I unlocked my bootloader a few months ago, rooted, and I flashed a version of ICS, which I think is stock. I dont have receovery installed, I tried to sort that out last night, but I got lost amongst and couldnt work out what to install and how.
Its 4.0.4 - 6.1.A.2.45 - and I am having a few issues with it. It seems to be laggy, the camera freezes when recording video and often crashes and doesn't save the video and the WIFI is just hopeless!
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a better .ftp for me to flash? Please leave links if possible because this issue is just driving me insane!
thanks!
Amanda
hi, try to locked your bootloader then repair via pc companion.
and also, for your other question click my signature "Read ME".
If it's unlocked the bootloader then fastboot a custom kernel. Advanced stock is great. Then flash a custom rom. May as I flash a Jellybean rom

The only problem with this is, you need to flash the doomkernal, which requires flashing back to GB? Then you need to install a host of other apps to get it too work. Just so I can flash a custom rom, wow, nothing is easy is it,
This phone is just so damned hard to do anything with, I am considering going to the new Samsung when it comes out in a few months!
No just flash advanced stock kernel instead from development forum. It's ridiculously easy once you're unlocked and have a cwm kernel flashed
Download a custom rom to the phone (i recommend pac rom)
Download advanced stock kernel to pc. Fastboot using that guide.
Then boot into recovery and install zip from sd and pick pac rom (follow the guidelines in pac rom thread for flashing)

Well u can still root your phone even it has a locked bootloader. u just cant have cwm recovery and cant use a custom kernel.
Thanks! Are there any other roms or tweaks that I can flash to my locked Xperia ion? It is an LT28at, but I flashed the LT28h onto it excluding the baseband so Im still getting my LTE from AT&T. Fairly new to all this and think its incredible!!! Thanks for all the support.
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
You can actually flash another version, like the lt28h, root it and install cwm. I have the lt28at flashed with lt28h jelly bean, rooted and have cwm, its totally possible. Just have to read the threads, then read it again and follow the instructions closely. Once you have cwm you can flash other roms even with a locked bootloader.

Unfortunately once we have JB, CWM doesn't stick, actually it doesn't work at all. So the best I have right now is a rooted flex with the official OTA update...but no CWM At this point I only know of one other rom that is available, Ice cream flex and that is with ICS of which CWM works with.
