[Q] Why flash custom ROMs?

What are the pros and cons of flashing a new ROM? And is it buggier than the stock ROM that are already flashed into our phones? And whats the best ROM out there for the xperia play?

These questions are despised by some people XD
I advise you google these questions!

Just googled it and found out why you should flash ROMs. Im planning to flash a ROM and also overclock my phone. Whats the best ROM out there for the xperia play which is fully functional (e.g. camera works, 3d data works etc) and resembles a little bit to ICS. Also, is it possible for me to get GB 2.3.7 as a cusom rom (i think thats the latest GB).

I recommend you JokaWild v3 Rom with DooMKerneL... I think that it is the best rom for the XPERIA Play for now. Smooth ,fast ,bugfree and very stable.

Ive had a look on a few roms and it came down to this:
JokaWild v3
OR
TrueAncestor
Will I be able to overclock using this ROM and DL's kernal?

Kernal = s.6.32.9-perf
Build number = 4.0.2.A.0.42
Am i able to flash it?
And also, does everything work on this ROM? (e.g. 3g, wifi camera etc) and ive also tried looking for screenshots of this ROM but couldnt find anything...

You will need to flash FW 0.62 and custom kernel with root before installing the JokaWild rom. Everything works great ,no bugs! I replaced the theme of the rom to Gin2Ics - very nice.

so basically this is what I have to do. (currently, my phone is on .42, rooted and has cwm installed).
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash .62 Rom
3) get a custom kernal. Can I put DL's kernal? If yes, which one?
4) Flash jokawild using cwm
is that it?

Yep ,all good. You can use v14 ,works great with the JW. Don't forget to flash the wifi modules for this kernel ,very important if you want to remain you wifi/3G.

how would i back up my current stock rom? And will my contacts/messages etc be deleted or only the apps will be deleted when i flash a new rom and kernal?
Also, ive tried looking for the .62 and the kernal but couldnt find it. Could someone post a link. Thanks.

And will the widgets that came with the xperia s ui work on the joka wild rom? (eg the weather widget? )

I think I may have founded the files:
So I download the .62 stock rom = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406589
and then download this kernal = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406589
then flash jokawild v3?

0.62 FW = http://www.mediafire.com/?ytpsh7yay394b7p
DooMKerneL v14 = http://bit.ly/play_dk_14
Wifi Modules = http://d-h.st/JBM
JokaWild v3 Rom = http://www.mediafire.com/?xzvt84s6vy388tk
flash the FW via flashtool
unlock the BL
flash DooMKerneL V14
flash via CWM the WIFI modules
wipe data/factory reset via CWM
flash via CWM JokaWild v3 Rom

Thank you so much. i'll just download those files and then hopefully my phone will be running jokawild v3. (Btw can anybody post screenshots of the ui of jokawild. Ive only managed to find 2 screenshots and their only in the settings menu)..

In my opinion ,the stock theme of the rom isn't so much pretty... I'm using Gin2Ics theme with this rom ,very pretty and looks great.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?sjfn5q7bltlazl4

im currently flashing the .62 fw now using flashtool but its been on 13% for about 20 minutes, is this normal?

its now been over 2 hours and now its on 19%. How long does this take? Is there any way to pause/stop it instead of plugging the phone out?

Ffinally I have flashed the .62 fw !!!
Now theres another problem, I need root to have cwm in order to flash the ROM and kernels. I tried using ginger break and the superoneclick method and it doesn't work although I heard you cant root on a .62 fw ... If this is the case then how did u get jokawild running ???

Install the CORRECT wifi Modules for the kernel AFTER installing ROM.
Download the Wifi Modules from same topic as the kernel, install the modules after the kernel and ROM.

Flash rom and Dont reboot
Flash wifi modules

After Miui4 Aroma Instaler rum phone automatic reboot. before this im go im clockworkmod and install modules.
One question, im momet fo do root process with doom script my kernel is replaced? In topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308849 mention of doom kernel is not compatilbe with wifi modules of this kernel.

The other thing to maybe consider, is re downloading both the kernel and the wifi module to ensure your using the proper corresponding module to the kernel. usually posted within the same development post. just thinking that if you perhaps downloaded the module thats been changed for an updated kernel, who knows, just a thought

[Q] Is there any init.d support for stock kernel + ROM worked for LT15i latest FW?

Dear all, I have had tried many methods such as
Enable init.d scripts support on stock kernel by iridaki
Enable Init.d for Any Phones w/o Need of Custom Kernels!!! by Ryuinferno
but nothing's worked for me
My device is Xperia Arc LT15i
Android version : 4.0.4
Build number : 4.1.B.0.587
Any advice / tutorial that I need to know?
I've rooted my phone (there is superuser apps)
I installed CWM (i can enter to recovery mode)
I installed busy box
I installed terminal emulator
Now I don't know what to do with this init.d support.
Thx in advance

Hm... is it because i've not unlocked my bootloader yet? :silly:

Most custom kernels come with init.d support. Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel of your choice.

@popthosegaskets : I tried to use custom kernel before. But, after i unlocked bootloader, now I would love to try custom kernel.
Is there any recomendation kernel for me? I just want/need to increase my internal storage.
Thx in advance

Kernel depends on your room choice, pick a ROM you like and flash the corresponding kernel.

Until this moment, i've tried some kernels that support ICS and my FW version.
Such as : ARC-DooMKernel-ICS-BETA-v05_boot
But i've not found one of them working for my phone.

Did you try LuPuS kernel or Advanced Stock Kernel?

[Q] Please Help!

Hi
Firstly apologies for these questions I've been out of the loop in these regards for a while.
I am currently using a ROM based on ICS with DoomLord kernel but I have no Play Store and the phone in it's current state is not usable effectively.
I have 2 options, Either return the device to the latest stock ROM etc... would having DooMLoRDs Kernel effect this?
Or use a stable up to date clean ROM?
If someone could provide feedback in relation to this and how to do it that would be great, I haven't use this device in a year but now need to use it as my daily driver until my Z1 gets fixed.
Many Thanks

Nevermind, I simply flashed Gin2KitKat 4.1 then the 4.2 update then the WiFi modules for DooMLoRD Kernel and it's working again.
May flash a newer Kernel tomorrow if I get time

How do you flash the wifi modules? I know you put the modules on the SD card but then what did you do to make wifi work?

Kernel explain

My question is
Can i install kernel when ive got working phone like right now?? Or i have reflash all thing again?? What woukd happen if i will flash kernel right now ?? And just only kernel. And what adv gives me to install custom kernel pls explain

Hi,
Based on your post, I don't have enough information to say one way or the other. To flash another kernel you need to have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. If you meet both of these conditions, then yes you can install a different kernel regardless of the fact that you aren't installing a ROM and Kernel at the same time. As always, make sure you take back ups before you proceed.
The next step is working out with kernel. You can not install a kernel designed for a stock based ROM on CM13 or vice versus.

Ravi

Flashing a kernal is simple. Just head into recovery and flash. You'll keep all your data and everything would look like the same like before.
