When you tried 4.1.2 ROM, did you flash a correct gapps? If you are using 4.1.2 ROM, then flash this gappsgapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip. Don't forget to FIX PERMISSION.

okay....here's the background situation i'm having...
1. i'm using 4.2.2 rom as i mentioned above
2. i'm trying to revert to 4.1.2 using the rom i mentioned above.
3. steps i take to deal with it are....
a. wipe data,cache in recovery
b. flash the rom
c. flash the gapps (as stated in the 4.1.2 rom OP)
d. reboot
is there anything wrong?mistake or incomplete step maybe.....thanks for your help.

If you are going to revert from previous ROM, wipe /system, wipe /data, wipe /cache. Flash ROM + GAPPS + Fix Permission. Confirm that keyboard is working now.

To be simplified: What gapps are you using?
What version of GApps are you running? And what is the package name? Is it gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip or gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip?

Your ROM based on Android 4.1.2 then kernel is for Android 4.2.2 means it won't work for you. BTW, you use Android 4.1.2, what GAPPS you are using?

MIUI offical builds doesn't work :(

Hiiii guys! I have a problem with MIUI official rom, and maybe some kind guy could help me...
I tried to flash the rom the first time, with custom kernel, and result was a bootloop...
tried with stock kernel and the phone process stopped forever XD
tried the previous build and touchscreen is not working...
I don't know what can I do, these two last builds are pain in the ass...
someone had these problems?
I always wipe everything, flash boot, flash rom, language pack (maybe is the lang pack the problem?) flash gapps, reboot...

Ask such questions in the ROM thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
After flashing MIUI with it's default kernel, you need to wipe everything and then format /system and then flash the ROM.zip...
com.process errors either means you didn't flash the boot.img correctly or you didn't wipe via recovery...

Yup yes you are right, hadn't seen

I'm asking here because there's no thread for official miui (the miuiandroid.com one), that one is rd-miui, I'm not flashing that one....
now I don't get errors about com.process, but touchscreen doesn't work...flashed 3 times, wiping everything...

Yes, the touch won't work because of the different bases! AFAIK!
It's best you use RD-MIUI... Any roms which are not from XDA, I'm not sure anyone here will be able to help you.
All I can say is do the following:
Flash boot.img after that erase cache via fastboot. then flash this script via recovery: http://d-h.st/kG0 and then flash the rom.zip... This should work.

I wanted to try the official one, because it's up-to-date and because it's official (I think is more reliable, with respect for the RD one that is a good rom), and I still don't understand if RD-miui is v5...screenshots are miuiv4...
anyway, I'll wait for someone who had some experience with official builds...thanks
edit: ok, now...the problem is just one...touchscreen doesn't work!
I tried every single v5 official build! and I have always touchscreen not working....this is the only issue I have
very very strange

you know that RD-MIUI is based on official? it's just made perfectly compatible with the HOX ....so you should flash only roms which are really made for HOX and especially from xda ...try RD-MIUI ...it is based on v5 but not latest v5 ..it's like a pre-version...

Confusion about flashing 4.2 and 4.1

I am now using an UNLOCKED HOX (international), with ViperX 3.7.3 rom and Android 4.1.1.
If i go to flash a rom that is Android 4.2.2 , like CM10 or IceColdJelly , am I able to flash them directly ?
if yes, then how about the restore ? It is also simply flash a 4.1.1 rom (like ViperX) that go back to android 4.1 ?
I do some research and seems that there have a problem on 4.2 ( sdcard0 folder), will it cause a problem for going back to 4.1 version ?
lots of confuse , sorry for my poor English and noob on flashing:crying:

you have to do a full-wipe almost every time you want to install a new ROM...

What you mean is flash boot.img-> "wipe"-> and flash .zip like common step ?
That mean i don't need to care about flashing roms with different Android Version?

You can't install AOSP 4.4.2 , you have to unlock your bootloader.
Roms you can install with locked Bootloader : Cm10 related ROMS and Stock based Roms

u can install after unlock bootloader.u can relock anytime anyways,so go ahead and try the kitkat.dont use as daily driver if u need camera and video recorder.both work good but no good as stock.cm10 has been made to work with locked bootloaders.so there are some cm10 based roms that u can try with locked bootloader.just read before u flash :highfive: happy flashing new roms.its fun

Which rom is the most stable?

Hello,
I have a questions about roms.
Now i have carbo mode and i think, that is very good rom
but im searching rom more stable.
i think about :

what soft do you prefer?
I search rom which :
* battery keeps long time
* as little as possible error
* stable rom
Thanks for help

The most stable I have found (almost as stock) for the Acro S is Mokee.

If You want stock based, go for Honami STyle V4 Addons.
If You want Lollipop based, go for uCyan. It is CM12.

Do search before asking. Anyways, here You go. You can follow the procedure here to flash it.

Instruction is the same with carbon rom?
bootloader, root, cwm, and copy rom in phone, reset dalvik , reset. , instal rom, gaps. yea :3?
i can't do this without pc :c?

Yup, it is somewhat same, except the kernel doesn't have inbuilt recovery. You can do it without PC, provided You have a working TWRP. So instead of flashing the first carbon boot.img, just do the steps after step 7.

If i do this without PC my phone wouldnt have a inbuilt kernel recovery? And in reverse ?
This option is really important ? Steps 1-7 are for people who have blocked bootloader and they install software with cwm or twrp yea :3?
This CM 12 is final version not beta ?

If You had flashed the recovery to fotakernel (i.e. by process similar to this method) then You will retain Your recovery. The CM12 ROM kernel doesn't have inbuilt recovery.
Steps 1 to 7 are for people who don't have recovery.
All the steps require unlocked bootloader. You cannot install Kitkat or Lollipop ROM's on locked bootloader on Xperia S.
Current CM12 version is beta, there won't be a final version, as even CM is under development, Our device is not supported officially and new feature are always introduced.
Also, once You unlock bootloader, there is no need to unlock it again, even if You flash the stock firmware.

Thread starter asked for a stable rom. CM12 has a long way to go before being stable.
