okay man im using foryobread now!! looks awesome soo far!! thanks ,,
Usually higher "v" means more features (and maybe more performance), but maybe lower stability.
FroyoBread, in my opinion, is stable at v023b
now that i have rotted , installed xrecovery,, using froyobread,, where can i get a overclock module??
Look in my signature dude.....
I have used Froyobread since v12 and i loved it, until GingerDX arrived. I would give it a try if i was you as its from Doixanh who created Froyobread and its so fast and smooth, also check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151293
its multiboot and its good, also attached in the post is dualrecovery.zip which will give you both xrecovery and CWM. Have some fun and remember that the bootloader is locked so go mod your phone in the safe knowledge that pc companion will fix any problem i have come across.
HI Friends,
I was using custom roms before, but now i have reverted back to LG ROM v20G(india) android 2.3.4.
Since, i was not able to install some applications(for my office email and communicator) due to rooted device error, so i reverted back to LG ROM.
But after installing few applications my mobile became very slow, every time i have to clean RAM using task manager.
Is there a better ROM(unrooted ROM) suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.

Currently, No Devs are doing that as there is no point to it. But since you say so, I will make a Unrooted ROM

Oh!! That will be better... Thanks a lot...
Or, else is there any way like i can remove some unwanted apps from the LG ROM without rooting it...

No way... Except for removing them before even flashing the ROM. But I think you are a bit wrong though. What ROM did you use before? I mean, while you were rooted? And what apps exactly havent you been able to install? Sounds strange to me...

HI N00BY0815, Thanks for yor reply.
Earlier i was using zeus 7.03 ROM and there i was able to install the zenprise application but it was not able to configure properly and used to get error like "This device is rooted" something like that. Bcz of this i was unable to configure the MS Exchange email and Microsoft Lync 2010 apps(bcz they are dependent on zenprise to get my enterprise server details).
Now i have reverted to LG stock ROM v20G and able to configure everything successfully and all are working.
But my mobile becoming damn slow, and it is showing only 23 mb RAM is free. :crying:

Hmm maybe you could still use Zeus ROM, but with a minor change in kernel, that is to change
ro.secure=0 to ro.secure=1 in ramdisk. This will pretend, the cell is still unrooted and thus everything should install just fine. Though you might get some problems with some apps, that need root.
Can some1 upload a flashable zip of this, since I dont really have time currently? Just decompile the boot.img with dsixda's android kitchen, change that line and recompile it. Flash and your done

Did you already try a rooted stock ROM, which has to be flashed via Smartflash? It's quite simple, since there also is a video guide (check my how to, post #3 includes the link to the thread with the video). Then you ll have root, but kernel will still state ro.secure=1. So you can almost do everything you want, but the phone will still think, it's still unrooted. Just pick the same version as you already have in kdz format (e.g. v20n, v20O, v20s,...) extract it with the tool mentioned, inject cwm, flash superuser.apk, dont wipe anything and you ll have root and all your data still. If it still detects the phone as rooted then, you ll have to go back to stock and reinstall everything, but it's still worth a try Then you can uninstall all LG crap apps and will have more free ram. Or you wait for anyone to provide an unrooted ROM with all unnecessary apps removed and maybe some tweaks enabled
Hey do not install v20g its the worst update given by lg India.

MIUI is has no superuser
apps can't access root (though i found that solid explorer was able to look at system files but not modify things)
if your apps do not work because of root access, try MIUI JB

It will probably still be recognized as rooted, because the kernel will still state: ro.secure=0, which equals a rooted device. Of course, I dont really know, how this app detects, if the phone is rooted. It might also be the superuser.apk, but I dont really think so...

There is two ways. Look at ro.secure or call /bin/su and see if it works.If a app only wants to check and not ask for permissions then I think they'll look at ro.secure

Hi Advance Users
here is my tutorial
Requirements:
1.CWM v8 (v9 is too buggy cant install anything) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202183
2.UPDATED ROOT :http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip
3.Working CWM or any recovery
Flash Leaked ROM
Flash Root
Then Flash CWM v8
Turn off
Flash kernel from the leaked rom zip via fastboot
Reboot!!
Then cheers!!! your phone is rooted with cwm installed
Dont Forget to Give "Thanks"
i see the leaked Rom has no CWM installed.
so how could i flash the ROOT zip ??
im stuck, Jai
Use a kernel with cwm already, such nk or cm based. Then directly flash JB kernel afterwards. But flashing root and cwm before booting the room is more convenient as op instructed. Great.

You don't have to do this, since the ROM's zip flashes the kernel too

Super SU is working fine but since JyROM don't have CWM in it, I just installed CWM again, I installed the v6 of CWM..

Hello guys, i have been playing around with the new offical 4.3 rom, I have found a little way for now to get rooted, take a look below...
***Disclaimer, I am not responsible if you blow up your phone, loose data, or do anything silly, I am merely trying to help, and point people in the right direction***
Okay it's a long winded approach to get rooted, but i guess it will have to do for the time being... Until a new updated rooting tool is available.
Here we go then , you will need these things:
SuperSU Install zip
Doomkernel v08 kernel.elf file
Stock Sony 4.3 kernel, attached to this post.
UBL (Unlocked Boot Loader!)
A brain and common sense.
Lets go then, first install the stock android 4.3 FTF....
Once this is done disconnect your phone, put it into fastboot mode and install the Doomkernel. Now upon boot, go into recovery, and install the SuperSU zip normally.
Once this is done, power off your phone (Holding down the power and volume up)
Go into Fastboot mode again, and install the provided stock Sony 4.3 Kernel.
Unplug your phone, boot it, and there you go, rooted stock android 4.3.
If you have any questions ask, no question is too stupid, or PM me and i'll help you best I can.
Reserved for more information, FaQ ETC...
I guess its only for unlocked bootloaders, because after flashing custom kernel on locked BL xperia, it won't boot.

No this method is only for Unlocked bootloader.
V7 should work just fine, all we are after is the recovery to flash the SuperSU
Thanks a lot it's working
Never did before on sony and the biggest problem for me was entering in recovery, so just in case, to enter recovery, when LED is pink press {vol up for 2012 models} or {vol down for 2011 models}

HELP ME!
HELP ME!
I tried this method on my Xperia V. I flashed the kernel then accidentally booted into android. Soft bricked. So I flashed back Sony kernel.
Working now but now there is something wrong with the screen.
I'm not sure what's wrong but it looks like the gamma is too high. I'll post a picture.
Hi,
i've got a rooted ivy with unlocked bootloader. Now the phone shows me that there is an update.
Can i update without any fear?
Or do i have to root the new kernel like i did with the old one (i only have rooted kernel with drm-fix, ric disabled an TWRP)
