Based on the idea given above I got curious and didn't see any all in one help thread over here so decided to make one of these threads here :angel:
Before posting anything on XDA Please read this
Even if you do get your question(s) answered, please, do come back and follow this thread to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE, drivers, rom, kernel, battery, stuck at boot logo etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
I don't own this device so maybe I will not be able to answer all the questions asked here but someone monitoring may help
Please remember "Give respect to others, others will respect you back!" in simple words, No abuse towards newbies/noobs will be tolerated here!
My Idea is just to give one all in one help thread to all the device forums! Either I make it or some other member.... This is just to reduce the amount of threads made everyday in Q&A Section
All credits to Deadly for his thread and undercover for his awesome idea of a single help thread :good:

Hi people, im new here coming from xperia 2011 series. I have the e 975 modell.
Wanna root and flash custom kernel and rom. Im a bit confused cuz there seems some other modells like e973 and for sprint theres a own section. What means Sprint? So can i flash a rom from every modell or only the ones for e975. And what about roms for nexus4, did they work?
Thanks in advance.

Carrier specific roms are different... If you flash those, RIL might now work...
Also E975 and E973 and others models are same as compared to specifications but are not the same when it comes to roms and kernels :/
About Nexus 4, You have to port roms from Nexus 4 on CM10.1 Base then they will work

Thanks. Found a tut. how to root and unlock b. with freegee ( is it really just an app, so simple?).
But found nothing about how to install recovery, is it too just an app? Sorry, maybe noobish but on sony recovery were built in kernel and kernel must be flashed with pc.

No, Recovery is not an app.. Its kinda Recovery Mode just like when Windows isn't starting on PC..
You will get guides...

When you unlock with freegee TWRP recovery is automatically installed. I think you can also choose to install cwm though the app, not sure.
edit: cwm can of course be installed later if you wish, although twrp is perfectly fine. Remember that twrp and cwm nandroid backups are not compatible with each other!

Hey guys, just downloaded the latest RC of CM10.1
Question bout the kernel which is in the zip file, should i flash the boot.img without the zip?? or just flash the whole zip and it installs both, kernel and rom. On my old Sony device i had to extract the zip first to take out the boot.img and flashing it with a pc and then in recovery the rom itself. I know that now on my e975 i can flash kernel in recovery too.

In LG Device's You don't need to flash boot.img first...
Flash the whole zip! It installs both

Questions over Questions.. but thanks for help.
If i wanna go back to stock, i mean restore a nandroid backup, does it restore the stock kernel too?
And the last for today, does the CM10.1 Kernel supports overclocking?

Unfortunately, Stock CM Kernels don't have features like OC
and for your App Data you have to restore Data via Advance Restore...

Will the ThinkingBridge ROM install properly on a Canadian E973?
There's already an AOSP 4.2.1 ROM for E973 but ThinkingBridge is newer and much more updated.

Instead of flashing the same zip! Port the rom Or compile from source

I have an E973 on Telus. I read that the E970 AT&T Kernel will work on my phone, so can I use ROMs for the E970 or is the storage difference a deal breaker? Both models have 8 MP cameras so will the camera work?

What's the best custom rom+kernel combo for the e975. For best performance overall and gaming.
With stock i scored on Antutu Benchmark about 18000 ponts, with cm10.1 and kite kernel only 16000. I have a friend with a Nexus4 and he told me that he scored about 20000 points with paranoid rom and franco Kernel. I know that these Benchmarks are nothing important but i wanna show that my G has too that much of power
So which combo??

Keep on trying and you'll get the answers!
The question you asked is regarded as Best Rom and Best Kernel which is not appropriate

Hey what's up guys I need your help please.
I modified the latest rom by LiquidSmooth(and it's a KitKat Unofficial ROM for the i9300, no bugs), and I didn't have a computer at the time I was making it, so I modified and did it all through my phone. So what I am asking is, is there any way I can take that ROM I modified and make I flashable ROM out of it, so I can upload it and people can flash it to their own phones?:highfive:

..ask permission to the developer and maybe he can help you with that flashable zip.

Remember that you would need to make sure that it has a meta.inf folder. And also inside the meta.inf folder the updater script is updated to include the files you have included or the files wont flash properly or work.

So, were you ever able to accomplish this? I'm looking at getting an S3 9300 to replace my now-deceased S2 which WAS running another adaptation of KitKat and I got REALLY spoiled by the features of the LiquidSmooth ROM. Would love to see a KitKat LiquidSmooth!
One suggestion, the PhilzTouch CWM (on my S2) had an option to make a flashable .zip file of your current ROM. Maybe give that a try. But to reiterate, you might want to communicate with the LiquidSmooth team to be sure they are ok with that.

Downgrade from CM11 to stock JB?
Hey guys and gals,
I'm running the latest snapshot of CM11 (4.4) on my d2tmo, and was wondering if it was possible to downgrade to the T-Mobile stock firmware without bricking the device completely? I've scoured the web in order to find an answer, and from what I can tell, this would brick the device if I previously had the stock 4.3 installed or something... Does anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks!

Go to "Developers Options" at "Settings" and make sure Animator Duration is not at 0x. Otherwise please do a clean flash, as in wipe /system and do a factory reset before flashing the ROM.

Sure, you can go back without bricking as long as you select the right image for your model. For example, for T999 the latest is firmware NC2, so if you have the T999 stick to the latest firmare and never flash an older build than the latest when it comes to ODIN, otherwise bricking can occur.

I had a question. Sorry for sounding like a noob but what is the difference between cm11 nightlies and the cm11 m12 release? Which one is better to use? Thanks in advance.

The nightlies are automatically generated builds with the day's commits and are generally less stable than the snapshot releases (e.g. M12).
In terms of having a stable daily driver rom, it'd typically be best to go with a snapshot release.

i have a query
there are no more d2tmo updates available, but when i install the d2lte cm11 then it works fine but it doesnt work with indian gsm carrier. how do i update my cell with cm11.

You can just flash it without wiping anything in cwm recovery. But, I would suggest not flashing the update 5.0 because it is buggy. Gallery will disappear and walkman is also buggy. You will have to replace it with the older versions using root browser. Better stay on 4.9. That works okay.

Sorry for reply again with the same question. I love the ROM amazing speed etc but i can continue with the slow WiFi anyone can help me? Thanks

Just flashed yesterday and it is working great so far! However I was not able to find any of the Smart Locking settings under Security that I am able to access on my G3 which is running CM12. Any suggestions or has that feature not been added yet?
Thanks!

Anyone with the same problem? Infected help me please XD in your paranoid Android works perfect my WiFi and other custom ROM WiFi works very bad

Thanks for the build . Its working pretty good. I have a persistent location icon on the statusbar. If I want to flash a new nightly do i need to factory reset flash the rom and gapps again or is it possible to only flash the new nightly? Also from the thread I understand that u should use 4.2 as base?

Hello, I'm having some trouble with running the official twitch app properly on this version of cyanogenmod that I have installed. I can't remember which thread I found it in but I remember that back when I was running the stock firmware it played fine on source even on 1080p streams. I realize that this might not be the right place to ask this but I atleast have to try, I really don't wanna go back to stock, I love CM.
The problem that I run into is that I can't seem to stream on a higher setting than medium without it getting all stuttery or even laggy. This is a screenshot showing exactly which version I have installed, imgur.com/VRz1F6R (forgive me for not creating a link but I can't post links since this is my first post. Apparently I'm a lurker) . I'm just a dabbler when it comes to custom roms and such, I follow guides and I love the customization, but I rarely know exactly what I'm doing, I would really love to get some insight here and if possible a working solution.

This is an alpha version. Maybe you should stay with stock or cm11 snaphshots...

Hi!
Yesterday I decided to try and upgrade my nightly. I Used the check for updates on the rom and downloaded the nightly. What I didn't realise was that I was downloading CM11.
So I accicently flashed CM11 nightly, I then factory reset the gpad and flashed cm12 nightly. But now I have a problem with accessing my internal memory. I can't download files since it can't find the download folder. If I try to access the internal folders they show up as empty.
Anyone have any tips on how to proceed?

I lost my internal memory too. I flashed cm11 again and it restored, then did factory reset, cm12
