Thnx
Thanks But still didnt make much sense.

Just choose which Rom you're most interested in. I reccommend ITJE or ASERG's work.. their roms are fast and very stable.
Download the rom and follow the instructions, it's very simple and most people are very afraid of bricking their phone ... so just make sure you have the STOCK RUU http://www.mediafire.com/?2nq9iu0a2nt on hand and you'll be fine.

The thread that kidnamedAlbert linked to is a way for you to make your own ROM the simple way.

totally agree. im a wizard owner and the herald sub-forums suck. none of the information is consolidated very well if at all. and some of the info is old and then updated later in the thread instead of updating the first post. this sub-forum needs some help. ive been reading for 4hrs today, and read a bunch a couple weeks ago and am still unsure of things. there just is no definitive guide that goes over ALL the things you need to know and understand and then the things you may encounter and what to do if you do.

I've been using Open Touch roms since my first flash without a problem. Its very fast and reliable and my wing runs like it should. The T-mobile rom sucked and really frustrated me the first couple of weeks I had it. Another good thing with Open Touch is that you dont have to HardSPL your phone. See below. I'm pretty sure you'll find it easy enough if you read the first page of posts. Thats my recommendation.

rom/keyboard isses

I hope this is in the right place... I recently purchased an unlocked Tilt on ebay. im pretty sure it has a custom rom loaded on it, but I don't know which one. the issue im having is that there are some letters on the keyboard that are mixed up. is there a cab file to fix this?? and if not, is it dangerous to load another rom on top of the already custom rom I have?? thanks.

please noob...search for the keyboard fix...and please read about rom flashing before doing anything or else it WILL be dangerous..but if u do it correctly then theres no danger at all

Go into Your settings and select system and device information this should tell you what rom you have. As above , roms are not some thing you put a couple of on a storage card and switch back and forth. Keyboard .cab fix is easy to find and install. Stick with the rom you have, obviously someone thought it was good enough, until you learn more on flashing and what is right for you.

no offense, but I did do a search, and it came up with over 1000 posts. I posted cause I was hoping somebody would point me in the right direction, not critisize me for not searching. and I know roms are dangerous, what im asking is not whether roms are dangerous, rather is it dangerous to load one rom on top of another unknown rom. instead of critisizing next time, y don't you help someone first.

Point you in the right direction eh? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=xda+Tilt+Keyboard+Fix
First Result.
Secondly, Repect Our jerky senior members. Being an jerk is going to get you no help and even worse could get you flamed.
Third, You have to Load a ROM over another ROM. So If you know what you are doing it shouldn't be so bad.

i did help u did i not, i told u about the keyboard fix, if u got over 1000 posts, maybe your search terms are wrong, maybe narrow your search, i'm not critizing u for not search, cuz u may have, i'm just trying to help to give u terms such as keyboard fix so that u will know how to narrow your search in case u have problems in the future.
in the case of your roms, its not dangerous to load one rom on top of another because u will hardspl and once u finish flashing u will do it hard reset which will clear off anything that was left behind in the previous rom so there is no danger at all, well unless if u dont hard reset.
hope this is clear for ya

Hi, please sombody out there help, i'm pulling my hair out, i've used the search so much but still can't find nothing!
I want to change my rom because i have the stock 1.34... and as you know that is extremly slow, by reading here everyone suggests a rom upgrade, now I am totally new to all of this and I know someone must of done a step by step guide for absolute idiots like myself, if someone could just tell me where I could find this PLEASE!
Thank you again and i bow down in the pressence of greatness!

well you havent searched really have you? half of this forum is about ROM upgrades!!
your best bet is here:
http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

how did you search?
with a white stick and a dog??

Go to the ROM section...
1) Install HardSPL
2) Install SWIFTBL v3 ROM
3) install the radio that will work for this ROM..
This will sort out your diamond...

thank you guys, look i'm sorry I know to a lot of you this is like so easy but to me it's kinda crazy ..... but worth it when i do it lol.
Thanks again people and keep up the good work!

For X1...

I just want a ROM that is:
1. Unintsallable
2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
6. Landscape mode preferred.
As you may have guessed, im a noob. But I just wanted to know as there is like a sea of ROMs and it becomes very difficult for a person not very knowledgable like me to pick one. I just want 2 things most importantly, that it shud be panel-installable and shud support landscape mode, along wiht being stable.
Thanx a ton guys!!

I don't understand your 1st and 3rd point. All roms can be replaced.
I personally dislike having Touchflo as is a bit unstable for me. If you want 6.5 I've used this for weeks, the barebones version, link and its been pretty stable on me.
Read other threads asking about rom choices too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590874

sweet..by
1. i meant it can be uninstalled if it gives some problem...(i raed sumwhere its a pain to remove it from ur system)
and
3. by that i meant, that it is only installed in a panel, not in the whole sys..as in i dont want the OS to change, i want X1 OS but only one panel can be HTC's touch flo

Use a stock ROM or cook your own.

4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
Get an HTC phone then.
6. Landscape mode preferred.

Read what I typed above in red.

tahnx Im Packing...
though i get your humour(and frustration with the number of noob questions being asked everyday)
but plz understand, I am an original noob. I dont understand wht u mean by "cook your ROM"
also, the very fact i have posted this Question, is that there are so many ROMs.
Like see, there are many ways to run a Mac on ure PC (iAtkos, Kalyway etc) but I used Kalyway..so here i cant find my Kalyway...
is ITJE's ROM good??heard about it...
plz suggest specific ROM so that i dont have to do a lot of RND with my (brand new) phone...thanx a lot once again.

Here is my suggestion for you. Just try a rom for one week and see which one fit you the best. It's very easy ans SAFE to install new rom and every rom has it plus and minus. I personally install different rom every other date because i want to have the newest stuff for my phone.

I think you misunderstand what ROMs are. I think you should read the Wiki first. Then read the stickies. Then if you have questions try searching first, and then you should fire away with questions.
The questions you are posing now are not ROM related they are software related. If you really want to flash a ROM then you should first read what a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is and why you would want to flash one and what HARD-SPL is and how to prevent bricking. If you are not ready for a custom ROM then perhaps you should just stick to some of the many cabs that are available here.
Hopefully this will give you a starting place. Just opening a thread to ask nonsensical things is not going to be productive for you, and will only confuse or irritate more experienced members. If you have a basic understanding everything should fall into place after that. Good luck.

Thanx Hannigan174..i appreciate ure help and apologize for posting this Question. u are right, i actually dont understand what ROMs are in trems of X1....
But i wil take ur suggestion...i wil first try out diff ROMs and then post a query...

I understand what you want: a theme or a application not flash your phone with another ROM, is it?
Try check this out... and this ... also try this
Also you may check this one and this
Good luck

what you see is the Manila user-interface, can be any ROM currently had it cooked unless stated differently. And it can be of 2.1 or 2.5 (Leo), and installable under pure or clean rom.
Just read the stickies first under the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development thread. First step, you're going to need to flash HardSPL, then flash any ROM you like with the Manila interface.
This/URL] is one of the example, always read last pages to see the current issues on the latest build, then pick your choice

thanx a lot deep throat...i wil try out different ROMs and see which is the best. Also, i just got my X1 and it has 9 movies..but i can unlock only 1....can i be a little greedy and unlock atleast 2[my GF wants to see Zohan and I want to see Da Vinci...u know how GFs are...]

I dont really get it... what did you mean by unlocking ? and what 9 movies?

my micro SD card has 9 movies...MIB, da cinchi code..etc... can unlock it..i have a Sony Pictures app also..it lets me see the trailer of each film and then i can unlock the whole film..and watch it

the more i read, the more im gettin confused...there is this software on one hand cutsomRUU...
then there is a cab availbale, then there is also the hardUSPL or something...
this is just getting more complicated, im eading the sticky threads but to no avail....can any1 plz help me how to get whats in the video..step by step with links...plz, its a humble request...

everything is explained in this sticky thread. just follow the steps. do a backup of your important data before u start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
but i really think u have no clue what u are facing by flashing ure device. every data on youre phone (not those on youre storage card) will be lost and all the programms u installed will be gone so u have to reinstall them after flash. by flashing ure device u will completely remove everything thats on ure phone and relace it with the new rom. did u ever updated youre device via seus?
the sony pictures app will be gone also and then u probably will not be able to watch your movies u have on youre card. unless u have this as a cab somewhere.

I've always recommended SPB Warehouse Backup. I made a thread, though nobody commented on it...but IMHO, and I gtrab and Siruis [X] are now using them, it's the best backup/restore program out there. It allows you to restore all your PIM and programs after flashing your phone.
The trial allows you to use it for 5 times before having to purchase a license. It's well worth it as custom ROMs are coming out every couple days or so, it saves time, effort, and the frustration of having to constantly restore your phone manually.

[Q] Am i posting it wrong?

Hi
I'm new to forums. But I like this one. People are discussing stuff instead of complaining about their devices. I'm learning a lot. But I still need an answer to my question. And I don't think it's very complex. So I thought maybe I'm posting it wrong. Is there anything else one should do to get there post replied to. Like tagging it in some way. It's not a complaint. I really wanna know to be able ro enjoy the forum fully.
Cheers

You don't need to do anything special. What is your question?

Oh cool
Hi
Thank you very much indeed for replying. I was just wondering if it was safe to update a rooted galaxy 8.9. I got the update message in my settings so it's a proper factory official update but I've never done it before so I was a bit worried after having read about some bricked phones and (don't even know what bricked means but sounds scary).
And if you could answer another question as well please that would be really nice.
Recently my tablet crashed in a weird way so I had to reinstall every single application on my tablet. After the crash every single app was force closing and it asked me for the date and the region. Since then it crashes not very often but regularly. So I thought maybe I need to do a hard reset or even reflash the rom. But now, as far as understand, updating my firmware should sort it out for me. Am I right in thinking so?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have not heard of anyone who has bricked their gt8.9 updating a rooted device. You possible loose root when you update, but you can just flash the root.zip again. In worst case you end up with a soft brick, this can be fixed with flashing stock firmware with Odin.
If you are having random crashes, i would start with factory reset. Please dont forget to backup before, because factory reset will delete everything on your tablet.
Update to latest version. Latest versions are a lot better then early builds.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much indeed.
Will I be alright following the instructions in this forum's guide on how to use the ODIN?

Yes, but i don't think you are going to need Odin. Just click update. If you get any problems, then let us know and I'm sure that there is someone here who will help you restore stock firmware if needed.

This thread has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to contribute other than to say that you're a class act, poisike. Too many people on XDA think it's OK to be rude to newcomers and that obnoxious comments about using search add value to the board. +6 internets to you.
