hi guys. I'm a beginner. I learned to flash rom yesterday and succeeded. camera doesn't work very well, so I can't scan QR Code for Whatsapp web. I have enabled/disable the HW Scaling thing.
I need recommendations on which ROM to install, where everything is working, camera, radio, lte, h+, 3g, etc.. etc... there's so many I'm overwhelmed
any help is greatly appreciated
Stock or DstrikerZ1 ROM @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...velopment/rom-dstrikerz1-kai-rom-4-5-t2980761
If you unlocked your phone bootloader, you may also want to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672 it restores some camera features, but it works only with stock or stock based (eg. DstrikerZ1 ROM) roms.
thanks so much ! much appreciated !

I rooted my Desire & using miui rom now.
I have "apps protecting" apps which avoid my friends / whoever from reading my sms etc.
However, after flashing a custom kernel, it does not work anymore.
I have tried many different kernel but still none of them work. (It seems to be only working on the stock htc / miui kernel?)
Any idea please? Thank you.
Hi all,
Apologies if this seems a really noob query, I have been learning more about flashing etc and have now tried a few ROM's
I am liking the Cyanogen Mod 9 RC2, smooth, fast and better than jellybean (in my opinion only) - apart from the camera not working, which I am not bothered about, my phone was a Yakju variant, I presume flashing this will make no difference what version my phone was? (I flashed it with CWM).
1 more query, the Cyanogen Mod, does that come with it's own new radio or do you flash your own, in which case can anybody recommend a good radio (UK based) flash.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Team,
First of all i would like to thank each of you'll for sharing your knowledge & helping all individuals who get stuck.
I am a new member in this forum as well as new to rooting. I have read few rooting threads & am excited too to get additional space in my phone.
I am using the phone for more than a year & now my apps list is growing. But the sad part is i have to do away with one app to install the new one as the phone is always out of space.
HTC Wildfire S
Location : India
Android Ver : 2.3.5
HTC Sense Ver : 2.1
Software Number : 2.26.720.3
I request if anyone can help me in getting the below questions answered or can guide me to respective link where i can get answers:
1.How to backup the phone.
2.In case if i need to unroot & get back to the same stock rom, how do i do this.
3.Which is the best stable rom that runs all the applications.
4.My daily use includes: Camera, Camcoder, Internet, Internet pass through, bluetooth. Any stable rom which do not have issues with these applications.
5.Which one is better, WildChild Ver 3, CynogenMod or other, please help with the version also.
6.I wish to root the phone & install a custom ROM, however there should always be a way to go back & undo, as i cannot afford to get a new phone.:laugh:
Thanks in advance to all who would be helping me in answering all or any of the questions.
Will love to see the xperience from those who have already installed the custom ROM.

Hi,
Welcome to XDA
1. Take backup of your personal data first (Like: Contact, Pics, Videos, docs,etc..)
2. You can get beck to your old STOCK ROM. After rooting your device you will take a complete NANDROID BACKUP, which will restore your previous one. (When needed).
3. I would suggest you to go for the Disciplexone ROM or WildChild 3. Disciplexone ROM was doing good for me, when I had it before CM9.
4. You will get more options than in your list.
You never have to worry about anything, since the device will make wonders after you root. (But more caution required).
Hope this may be useful. (If really press 'Thanks').

Hey welcome here.
1. There are many ways to take backup. I suggest you take a nandroid backup (i.e. backup with cwm recovery) just after you flash a custom recovery. It'll restore the phone in as it is state if something goes wrong.
For apps and all i generally use Titanium Backup. It works great.
2. There is a thread for stock ROMs in Android Development Forum here. You'll find yours there.
3. Umm That is a tuff question. For me CM9 does but it has some minor bugs if they don't affect you.. JB is still in development so I won't recommend it. Go for CM7 or any GB rom as they are mostly free of bugs.
4. Disciple1's ROM, Sense 3.5 EQDKP, Wildchild and CM7.
5. I don't know what to say about it as I installed the first version of WC3 and I came back to CM9 in a day. It was really unstable for me. Maybe just me.
6. Just unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery and then make a nandroid. the bootloader will be unaffected though.
7. Oh there aren't any.
Noob and want to try a Rom. A long time ago, I used Cy-Mod 7. Nervous about battery life, I reverted to stock. Having updated today to 4.1.2, I rooted devise using Causal Root. I have GooManager installed. I want to try a different ROM but still preserve battery life and performance (like everybody I suppose!). Any tips?
I'd love to be able to tether, too.
So...which one and how do I do it? (GooManager??)
Thanks in advance.
Head over to the Android Development Page and check out Quantum v1.15. It's a super solid rom made by a great developer. It's based of CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) and it really stable and has superb battery life. Tell them I sent you! :highfive:

Thanks. How do I install? My Galaxy s3 is rooted - running 4.1.2. As noted earlier, I do have GooManager installed. I don't have any backup software on the phone (though I'm not terribly sure there is anything I need to backup - given my contacts, email, etc., are backed up server and apps are backed upon Google Play).
Thanks!!!!
Any helps? I want to install custom rom (maybe kernel?) but I have no idea how to begin. As noted earlier, it is rooted (using Causal), running stock and I have GooManager on it. Aside from this, I'm lost. Thanks all!

If you're still "lost", then I suggest u do a lot more research/reading before flashing anything to get up to par on everything! Also, I wouldn't use goo manager to flash anything, either download to PC and transfer to phone, or download directly from the phone over WiFi, and flash in recovery. A little reading goes a long way, and will hopefully prevent any issues and need to start new threads stating this doesn't work, or that doesn't work. Good luck!!
Hi. After a long break I got back to upgrade my phone. I decided to flash 4.1.B.0.587. I did everything (root, unlock bootload, cwm). And I went a little further than before. After flash, wifi did not work, then i try install alot of kernels and roms + wifi modules . on any still do not work. Trying enable it but its look for completly off (only inscription ,,Turning on wifi") . I wanted to install Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0.1 (i installed that before and all work perfect, it looked too good to work with wifi ). What will be the solution to my problem? Do I need a special kernel or rom, mod, special module? Maybe should I install wifi manually? have You any ideas what i do wrong? On GB everything was working good
I get tired of it all day, have tried many methods, looking for many sites and I have not found the answer to my question My phone is Xperia Pro Mk16i
Thanks in advance for Your help and sorry for my poor english
