I just upgraded my phone to 2.3.4 with the custom rom "simply Honey" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020720
the installation went smoothly without any hassles and i successfully flashed my device using odin, however, i am not able to access any UI modification features or themes. I even installed the Tw4(modded) version from the addon list through CWM Recovery mod and when i reboot there is no trace of tw4, the phone acts as it was before. There seems to be no tw4 in the home switcher app too. Can someone help me ? one of the reasons for me to use a custom rom was that i could mess around with the fact how the phone looks.
Yaar i think that rom didnt give you modification right so thats why you are avlw to change launcher.

Hello all.
I am running FroyoBread 0.25 on my xperia X8. It's wonderful rom in my opinion but, i want to ask you if there is a way to install the original Sony Ericsson keyboard on it. It have Android Keyboard, (LatinIME) installed and HTC-ime. The second is for the trash for me, and Android Keyboard is very good but i think that the stock keyboard is the best. I've managed to extract it from my Original Rom backup and installed it. But when I try to activate it, I get a crash error. So is there somebody to help me in this. Thank you in advance.
U can try froyo pro v1.1.
Its the same as the rom ur using (which is racht's floyo v0.25).
It got stock keyboard and a bit more modification...

Edit: And is the stock keyboard included and the other modifications
Edit: Ok don't bother to answer me i took a look on the change log. Well I am downloading it and I am going to install it because look COOL. And the most inportant, the froyo unlock sliders are transparent

If you are on stock rom just do a factory reset or else flash a completely new one through odin.
If you are on a cm7 build just flash a stock rom using odin.
You can get stock roms here at samfirmware
and a good rom is apocalypse final or droidace both are cm7 roms but apocalypse final is a barebone rom
Go back to froyo

You gotta flash a stock ROM from Odin..Guide is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145 everything u need to download is also there! If i helped be sure to press thanks
Hey guys and gals,
First off, I want to thank all the devs for their hard work on creating these roms and kernels for such a great phone. I rooted my phone a little less than a year ago following a guide by jocala, and using RebelRom. From my understanding, the phone is still rooted. I have done nothing to change that so I hope it remained rooted.
My question today is in regards to the Baked Black Bean 9 release. Does it follow the same installation as other roms? Such that download the rom, move it to the sdcard, boot into the recovery mode, wipe it all, flash the room then gapps? If so, that is fine, I will just have to reread on how to do all that to the T so the phone does not get bricked, lol. If it is different, can anyone please explain?
My current phone state is :
Model Number: SGH-T679
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-custom [email protected] #7
Build Number: RebelRom 3.0.7 Milestone 2.A
Also, is swype supported by this ROM ? I loved swype but couldn't seem to get it to work with RebelRom.
Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Yes Baked is installed like the others. Nandroid your setup however in case you don't like how things turn out. Wipe everything, flash the ROM and then Gapps. Please keep in mind the latest Baked is funny on first boot. You have to let it sit for around 5 minutes or so. Press the power key once (screen will be black) and then it will reboot in a bit. Everything is easy breezy Japanesey after that.
On Swype I can't tell you, I use Swiftkey.
THANK YOU. Finally something new and it comes preinstalled with a swype or something of that sort. Now I need to figure out how block the used dial attacks said in the wiki. It seems I'm still on uvl1. Nonetheless this forum is fantastic and the people are tremendously helpful. Also I flashed black Bean first top give it a go.
Any other amazing apps to try out?

Well I hate to tell you this but the only way to get the latest baseband is to flash Peach or the latest stock ROM, then revert back to Baked. What I did was nandroid, flash Peach, then restore the nandroid. Do NOT sign in to Google when/if you flash Peach or stock. Otherwise you will lose sync with Google Play which is a mess to re-sync. Just reboot recovery immediately after install.
On apps, there's a lot of good ones but depends on what you're looking for. For basics go with Boat Browser mini for web browsing and Poweramp for music. Use Seeder for a little less lag (Google "entropy" to learn more). And yes, I would pay the $5 for Poweramp especially if you're a music lover. Very worth it. The Google music app is awful IMO. Also make sure you have Google Maps installed so Google Now works properly.
Hope that helps you get started.

Try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42074948&postcount=2091 .. its for Jellybean 4.2 (Jellyshot) but if you nandroid first , you should be ok..
ACtually just switch to Jelly shot , It's better than stock 4.1.1 (I think)..
Thanks for replying mate... in what ways do you think jelly shot is better than stock? Ill need the pros and cons before I switch from the already very stable stock towards another rom... thanks

Actually I would want to stick onto stock because of it's reliability and stability... isn't there a legit way for porting inverted versions of messaging and contacts and the calendar?

Hi, you could flash a rom that has themes enabled in it, and install a black theme from PlayStore, such as black exodus .
I would recommend CyanogenMod 10.1 ReleaseCandidate, they are really stable, and offer far better experience than stock android.
About pros and cons, do a nandroid of your stock android and try CM10.1 If you do this dont forget to flash latest JB Gapps

The reason you are having problems is because you are on stock with odex apks. Stock ROMs applications have odex files which is supposed to allow for faster booting of applications. Custom ROMs have deodexed apps which allows for customization and theming. If you want the inverted apps you will need to flash a custom deodexed rom. I have been running the latest CM-RC5 with inverted gapps with absolutely no stability issues.
If you want to theme and customize apps, simply make a nandroid backup of your stock rom and start flashing ROMS available for your phone. The possibilities for customization are just not there for stock rooted phones.
Good luck:good:

IMHO,
The custom Rom that nearly to stock is Rasbeanjelly, the most smooth and stable I thought. And that Rom also already has the black contact, mms and calendar.
