about pen drive the answer is no... but m not sure about ubuntu...

Ubuntu will not be available for Galaxy Y as Ubuntu needs dual core specs to run on any device and our phone doesn't meet the requirements
Using external USB devices is not yet possible
there are some ROMS check out which one you would like on your device
here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1472

Use a2sd to use mem card as internal memory
Check out d general and development section for instructions.

Hello. I will try to build Android L for all Sony devices on the SoC Snapdragon S3, that is, Xperia Ion, Xperia S / SL, Xperia acro S / HD.
It remains one problem is a memory leak, which occur due to frequent rebooting my device (Acro S)
When the first booting, phone used memory RAM 120+ MB.
Further, for 1 minute it increase to 500+ MB, and reboots. While I can not understand why.
Once the problem is corrected on Acro S, for all other devices, the assembly will be available within a week.
And while users Acro S can download it and test it.
Good luck to everyone.

Thanks

[Q] Issues on CM9+ on Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

Hello! Greetings to all!
I have a Xperia Arc S LT18i handset running 4.0.4 ICS build (4.1.b.0.587) at the moment. I rooted it with the conventional way described by various individuals. Used flashtool to flash the (4.1.a.0.562) kernel, then ran the doomlord toolkit (thanks doomlord for this awesome toolkit) then reflashed the 4.1.b.0.587 kernel. So my phone is then rooted, so far ok now. I checked with root checker, even checked with terminal emulator when typing "su" the "$" turns to "#" to show i m now rooted!
I have also installed CWM after rooting my device!
But then i tried to install CM9 (stable version from anzu), it described that theres a "boot.img" file in the zip which we have to flash via fastboot mode. And put the zip on sdcard. So I connected my phone via fastboot mode (I did it correctly, it displayed a blue light on notification led). Then i used flashtool>flash>fastboot mode>"select kernel to flash">(selected the boot.img given from CM9 zip). Now here's the problem. It's displaying "device not rooted"! I m completely blank of what to do. Please help! If I m unclear about my problem, I can post screenshots!

Within that section you will find a dedicated q&a sub-forum (this is where your thread is going to be moved to):

Good luck!

You need to unlock bootloader to flash custom kernels and use source ROMs like CM9
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Else you will need to use only Stock based ROMs

Problem Solved! Thanks all!
Yeah it was due to locked bootloader, thanks a lot guys, I m running LegacyXperia cm11 rom! You guys rock! Thanks a million

Best ROM suggestion for XPERIA S...

Hey forum!
I'm looking for the best combination of some key functionality:
Stability
Camera (activate/snap with button as on stock ROM), is this possible out of stock ROM at all?
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) support but I guess that it is supported in newer ROM versions? Hardware should support it.
Most amount of memory/space available for apps, more than stock ROM possible?
Has to be Android 4.3 at least
Any suggestions of a good ROM which fulfills the above?
TIA!

If u want stability + camera + memory for apps and games then u need a ROM that is naosp 6.0 by mickybart's
but u need to reparation your device memory table to use this ROM

Sounds great!
I have a couple of follow-up questions that I hope someone can answer quite quickly:
1. Should I choose version 5 or 6 (I just want the functions I listed and speed and stability are important)?
2. I understand that I need to re-partition the phone but does that apply to version 5 as well?
3. Is there a *complete* guide if you're on stock ROM and have done zilch/zero/nothing yet to the phone?
Thanks!

1. Choose version 6, it has more updates.
2. Nope, it doesn't apply to version 5.
3. You wouldn't find a complete guide in one place, but I can give You pointers here which will lead You to correct searches.
Rooting : use towelroot app. Not available on playstore, search for "towelroot by geohot". It will root Your phone.
Backup TA partition: backup Your TA partition using tool here.
Unlock bootloader : Link.
Then try following the guide from respective ROM thread to flash the ROM!

I am also in the exact same situation, before I start though I was wondering if there is a way to "easily" back up and restore sms messages & whatsapp messages (along with pictures, though I can copy all the pictures easily on the PC and restore them - but I am unsure if this places them back in the correct order etc) - the rest should be easy to backup and restore just not sure about these 2
thanks in advance
p.s. @verma.arun833 & @Mirhawk
as per the original post I am looking for the most STABLE rom out there to date that is android V4.3.1 or higher - I am also a complete noob too and the easier the better but priority is stability - is naosp 6.0 the best choice here still?

Yup naosp 6.0.1 is best and stable at the moment and updated tooo bro try that ?

You can backup Your sms using this app, I use it and it is the best so far. For WhatsApp, backup using the in app backup and copy the WhatsApp folder from internal storage of phone to PC. Then after flashing the new ROM, copy the WhatsApp folder back to internal storage, install WhatsApp and it will automatically restore it.
And yes, nAOSP 6.0 is still the preferred ROM as it is stable as of now and is receiving constant update. If You want extremely stable but above 4.3.1 ROM, then I would suggest last updated version of Carbon ROM(4.4.4). It is of KitKat version, but has many features and doesn't require re-partitioning of device.

Looking for a stable Rom for Xperia M dual , Which actually lets me use both Sims

Hi guys ,
I don't know if this is the right place to be posting this , so please forgive me if im doing anything wrong (im a noobie and this is my first post)
Im looking for a stable/bug free Rom with Move to sd option right there in the normal settings . Im really tired of using the official rom for so long .. unable to play any good games and even being limited to choosing either one or two of my fav games since low storage message always shows up . Im willing to try any rom you suggest as long as i'll be able to use both my sims. when i looked around i saw that some ppl say that lollipop doesn't support dual sim.. and even if i flashed it , i'll be limited to single sim . It might not seem that bad for most people but it does to me lol. So im also asking to clarify if i flash the patch file provided alongside the cm12 rom will i be able to use full function of my phone. My main goal is gaming so even if there aren't any bug free Roms there i hope you can suggest me a working way to install games and move em to my sd card.
Currently my phone is running on Android 4.3 , Stock 15.5.A.1.5 ( Rooted with towlroot)
So thats why im looking for a new rom , I hope you can indeed help me with my problem and Thanks for all your help in advance :fingers-crossed: !!

Look first of all there is no rom without bugs for the xperia m, but that doesn't meant there are no good roms for xperia m.There are some good roms with some major and minor bugs . You have to decide for what purpose you want to upgrade
If you are bored of your stock rom and looking for some better performance and new look then there are good number of roms available here like official cyanogenmod kitkat,lollipop,marshmallow and also some other third party roms .(Just go through Xperia M Android Development and Xperia M Original Android development )
And you are asking about rom with move to sd card , but i doubt there are not so efficient roms in that aspect but i recommend you to use apps2sd and create partitons in sdcard and use it , it is one of the best method . You can use it on any version of android you like (with some basic knowledge on partitioning , just watch some videos on youtube or search in internet..,)
If you are not intereseted to do experiment on your sd card use CM13 marshmallow , here we can set our sdcard as internal so that you can install big memory games , apps etc.., and also latest android version .There are quite a few bugs but that doesnt really matters for daily use if you are a dualsim user you will not get internet on 2nd sim . Just once go through the link and read everything carefully , and have any doubts post here there are lots of people here to answer you

You can use ArchiDroid v3.1.5 ROM. It lets you move apps from device to SD card. Also it has the less number of bugs as I see. Install recovery and Flash a single file to get started. No need to flash GAPPS, Dual-sim patch etc.. it's already in the package. Choose options wisely while installing it.

@hemanthvarma Btw if i use the partition method will i be able to move apps and games to sd card even though my phone doesn't even have the option to move apps in the settings ?
also has this method worked in xeria M dual yet , cuz one of my friends had tried to do it on my phone and he only managed to currupt google playstore on my phone
Finally will i be able to reformat the sd card into a normal sd card again ?

Yes you can move apps to sd card by using apps2sd and also in future you can come back to normal sdcard by again repartitioning it . Watch some videos about how to create partitions in sdcard and how to use apps2sd in MM
Dont simply partition and insert it in your phone you have tofollow some extra steps to get it done , refer xda forums also
