Rom is a custom firmware for your phone...
Like the OS is for a pc,custom firmwares are like OS for a phone...
and in order to install a custom rom you need to root a phone and install recovery...
so you must start off with rooting...
I would suggest you to search youtube for detailed video instructions

Since you rooted your phone, your warranty is now voided. Basically, you can find few roms in the development section. First thing you need to do is install ClockworkMod from the market. You can further more tutorials and details here http://FORUM.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105

yes you need to reinstall your apps again. flash a rooted rom to be able to control your phone the way you want.
once your rom is rooted and flash a new rooted rom, then you don't have to worry on rooting again. Flash a stock rom then you have to find a way to root it.
All apps have to be reinstalled. installing CWM and TITANIUM BACKUP will make your life easier. You will learn as you go along...

[Q] Install gingerxperia on stock X8

Hi, i want to install gingerxperia (v25) on my absolutely stock x8 (android 2.1)
What do i have to do, step by step please.
As far as i know, i have to root it, then install cwm recovery (but i dont know how!), then flash nAa kernel v10 (i dont know where to download that) via flashtool (not sure how to flash the kernel) and then after all install gingerxperia via cwm recovery.......is that right (if yes, please tell me the exact way how i have to do these things.....also step by step please )
Thanks in advance
therefore there is a big button which says SEARCH and also a site which is called GOOGLE(search machines in general)
i know, i'm not stupid but i've allready looked for a tutorial or something, but i couldnt find one, and i dont want to brick/ruin my phone, so if you dont want to help me other than telling me to search for my self (which i already did), why do you even comment? I dont want to be rude but your comment seams a bit senseless to me and doesnt help me....
the reason why i ask this is that i really dont know and dont want to make a mistake and have a broken phone, for someone who knows how to do it, it wont be a problem to tell me step by step in a short way how to do it i think, and thats what i am asking for
Check the Rooting tutorial in XPERIA X8 Android Development then when you root ur x8 check the thread for xrecovery when u got rooted xperia whit recover pm me
Hit thanks if I helped!

[Q] Solved!! Easily Unlocking Galaxy Mini (in 5 Minutes) XD

Hi guys,
can you help me to find an easy way to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S5570 ? Currently it's running with Android 2.2.1 and I can't use it because of the sim- or netlock. :crying:
I thought about maybe the easiest way would be one of those Costum Roms.
1.Download the Costum Rom emanoN [ROM][Kernel] and put it one the SD
2.Restart phone with Home+On+lessLoud Buttons
3.Select the rom and install it
Would this procedure work without bricking the phone?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
Thank you all very much!! this was the sweet solution:
I unlocked by
1. SuperOneClick Root
2. Method 2
Takes five minutes and much easier than the dangerous and longtaking backup/firmwareupdate/backup/costumfirmware...
(Unluckily, I spend lots of hours with method 1 which didn't work^^ )

Hello, welcome to XDA lady !
Here's a dink :
1. Never flash a Custom ROM without upgrading to Android 2.3.x (Gingerbread)
2. Never flash a Custom ROM without custom recovery
3. Installing ROM isn't like installing programs on Windows.

Thank you for your answer Fauzan! :laugh:
So you mean:
1.Make Costum Recovery with CWM
2.Find Android 2.3.6. , put it on SD, push the three Buttons, install it
3.Again a Recovery
4.Download Costum Rom, put it on SD, push the three Buttons, install it
Is this right ? And will this Costum Rom unlock my sim/netlock ?

1. Search at Google : "upgrade galaxy mini to gingerbread"
2. Follow the instruction.
By the way, unlocking Galaxy Mini can be 3 way :
1. Custom ROM
2. Netlock Unlocking

May I ask which way is easier and shorter? I don't necessarily need a Costum Rom , just an Unlock. :angel:
And to which gingerbread 2.3.0 up to 2.3.7 is available?

Gingerbread Official from Samsung is available are 2.3.3 to 2.3.6
Unlock still need Gingerbread, Custom ROM still need Gingerbread.

The easiest way is...
1. Upgrade to GB 2.3.6
2. Upgrade your recovery to CWM (you need odin for both things)
3. Choose and install custom rom
they are always better than stock firmware cause they prerootet you can overclock and use ext easy!! I recomend you to use stock based custom rom like gingermod or more rom!!
Happy flashing

In exactly this thread Chasmodo described the installation procedure very good. If I give you a step-by-step help it wouldn't be different from Chasmodo's.
And if this is too complicated or you do not have the energy or time to concentrate on it, you should stay on 4.0.4 and wait for the next official update to Jelly Bean.
As beginner who doesn't want to read you are in real danger to hard brick your device.
But maybe you don't even know the "speciality" of the N7000 with it's bricking danger.
