What are they, what do they do? I basically have a stock Tilt, i see people on here talking about flashing their roms, what is that? and why would i want to install a different rom than the one that comes with the phone? and when you flash and/or add a new rom does that erase all the programs on your phone like doing a hard reset?

that should answer most of your questions
that's helps some, but what is flashing your rom? and what is a rom, i tried to do a google search on it and all i could find were roms you can download, nothing really answered my questions.
Heres what you're looking for. It will tell you EVERYTHING you!

Answers to your ROM and Flashing questions
BE SURE TO DO A HARD SPL. It will be explained in the link.

Is there any risks involved by connecting a custom rom device to SEUS and install the rom there?
Does this remove all customisations made to the device?
If not what do I need to download to restore it to factorysettings?
Yours,

Customisations are about software. Flashing ROM back to the original one implies loosing all your software and related customisations.
As far as I know, there are no cons on flashing an original ROM from a custom ROM. SEUS should recognize your Xperia as always and "upgrade" to official ROM.
P.S.: if you want a completely official device, please remember to flash also SPL

Where to download the official SPL. Please provide the link for download. Is Hard SPL different from official SPL?
Hmmm... if you have Hard-SPL fromOliNex I suppose you read the whole thread on Hard-SPL. Please read the thread on Hard SPL again and there you will find all the information on official SPL and how to restore it.

Why don't you take some time and read the sticky before you post?
Even the first question in the beginning is being answered many times (at least once by me) and some newbie just post without search.
Hi, i got the HD in March, and just wonder the benefits of installing a custom rom. Like Dutty's (seems to be popular). I read the threads of the contents in the rom , but what would you push for in this custom roms that isn't in the original rom.
If i flash it, is there a "easy" way to get back to original rom? I guess i HAVE to flash the rom back to original?
Is it diffrent original roms for diffrent countries?
Does the customs incl,
Landscapce mode in sms,mail, browse?
Nice calender, original sucks (looks like win 3.11)?
Last silly question, is there other themes fo customs?
I have understood that the Manilla is the graphical layout, or am i out in the bushes??

Yeah, the only way to get back to a stock ROM is by reflashing it (don't worry though, there are plenty of links to those around here).
And while flashing itself is not without a risk (you can always "brick" your device), I'd say it's well worth it. Custom ROMs generally offer more speed, often more stability (especially those made by well-known chefs), new features (Manila/TouchFlo from the new HTC phones, Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, which includes a newer, nicer calendar) and yes, they very often do have advanced screen rotation.
My Blackstone is currently sporting Davideuck's V-4_HP (that's a WMo 6.1 ROM with the new Manila) and it's probably the best ROM I've ever had on my phone. I recommend you to try that one.
As for themes, yeah, there are a few, especially in Blackstone's "Themes and Applications" subforum. And yep, you understood correctly, Manila (or Touch Flo 3D, as HTC likes to call it) is the graphical interface.
Ok, thanks for the answers. And if you see a thread with a link to a "swedish rom" notify me
So if i understood things right, i install hspl on the phone, boot it up in that "special way" flash it by SD card or custonruu on pc.
Either i put it on the root of the sd card and flash the rom och start customruu on the pc and choose the rom file from there?

Not if you want to flash Dutty's 2.7 or 2.8. You have to use USPL 2.5 and flash a stock 1.56 ROM in advance. Instructions on how to do this are included in the thread of this ROM.
Ok, whats the diffrent between USPL and HSPL ? Can i flash other rom with USPL ? Why do i need to "install" a stock rom 1.56?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you already have stock ROM and have never used HSPL to change your stock SPL, then all you have to do is flash to the new stock HTC ROM (which contains the new SPL you need), and then use USPL to flash a custom ROM.
So if I understood it correctly, this is the way to do it..
I too feel like I'm ready to install a custom ROM and was either considoring
Dutty's or Davaideucks's ROM's but what I wanted to know was, even though
these ROM's maybe more stable and faster, how buggy are they?
Hi there, ive just rooted my phone on rc29 with radio 1.22.12.29.
now i wish to install the jf1.51adp rom but i was wondering if i should update the radio before or after flashing the rom.
Ive searched around and googled, but some said Rom first while some said Radio first. Im confused
pls help
You can just flash the ROM. You don't need the radio for jfadp1.5
I also had this same question, and would like to ask if the answer is the same in every situation?
I.e. one does not need to think about the order of flashing radio or ROM first. Am I correct?
(I was wondering this while trying to instal this Android Revolution HD ROM)
Usually you should flash radio&spl before the rom,but it depends on the roms you wanna flash.
If the roms need new radio&spl,flash them first.If not,just flash the roms.
It's just my opinion.

Thanks for your answer. I flashed the radio first and then the ROM, and in my case everything worked fine.
glad to help.
I am a rookie too
Is there really any difference bettwen OliNex v0.70 and 1.4 or what's the newest version?
i meen why would people put new version, if the old one is doing the same thing?
and also, is it bad for my xperia x1 to install a 3 different custom rom for a DAY i am just checking which is the best one, and why when i install a new rom, old "NOW PLAYING" in windows media player stays?
what should i do, to install clean ROM?
Thank you

I'm not aware of an OliNex version other than 0.72 (except for the mfg spl of course), which hasn't been updated for quite some time
so if you found a v1.4 for the X1 post it here
to erase possible leftovers it's been reported to either flash a stock rom before flashing custom one ore using task29 (rom dev)
do some research and decide for yourself whether to try one of them or not
Best, DK
i have not found v1.4 olinex, i have 0.72 i'm sorry typing error, so what is the difference between your 1.0 and mine 0.72? (they have the same purpose)
hmm, okey, but how to install a stock rom? i know how to install a custom rom, just transfer to sdcard and boot with volume button down.. is it same for stock roms?(just rename it to kovsimg.nbh) where to find stock roms? when i install stock rom, will i still have olinex hard spl?

0.72 = v1.0
install stock rom = install custom rom
find stock roms either through reference thread in rom dev or here
hspl will not be removed as long as you don't flash back to stock spl
Best, DK
so, if i understood you, with mine 0.72 i can install stock and custom rom?
and you with 1.0 can install just custom?
and also, if i install stock rom, i install it the same way like custom one? (tranfer kovsimg.nbh to root of memory card and enter bootloader)
and if i install the stock rom like that, can i then install again custom one, i meen will my hard spl will delete or it's on the special memory of the phone? that i can't change with rom installations? thank you

correct
wrong, what I label as v1.0 is exactly the 0.72 that everyone uses
correct, you install stock like custom roms, either using sd or ruu methods
installing stock rom does not overwrite your hspl, so after stock you can flash custom roms right away, roms do not affect the spl as you said
Best,
DK
