Can you be more specific, because I can't work out what you are asking.
What ROM are you wanting to flash? If you are talking about the softkeys "back, home, recent apps"? If so these must already be in the ROM you are flashing, otherwise you will not be using your phone for much

Since I'm new in the forums I can't post in the Development area this question, anyone knows if after you install the lite version (the one that runs with GB bootloader) you can go back from ICS to GB without making any special mod or change?
You know, just turn off the phone, power it on while pressing vol. down key and using CWM to install your old GB ROM.

Yes, make a full wipe first and then flash any rom.

hi..i'm also have tonyp ics lite rom...i've installed it successfully..but i can't use flash player on browser?anyone can help?
I'm sure someone will be able to answer this super easily.
I'm new to rooting and ROMs, I just rooted my 4x hd yesterday and after being blown away at how easy it was, I'm now considering flashing a rom.
I've read around that you can get things that let you select the rom you want on boot. I was wondering if I could do this with the stock rom and cyanogenmod?
Do I have to partition the internal storage or something?
Also I'm pretty sure when you flash a new rom you loose apps and other data but can someone confirm this for me please?
And one final question. What's your favourite stable rom for the 4x hd? If I am able to switch between ROMs like that, I might add another I want to get close to vanilla if I can.
I am on version 20a stock rom android 4.2

No, you're on v4.1.2 if you're running stock ROM. But you could have found all those answers by searching first.

Hello everyone,
I'm used to flash ROMs on my G Ace and reading some threads I've noticed a lot more technical terms that scared the hell out of me.
My question is: There are any difference between flashing on the Galaxy S x Galaxy Ace?
I was thinking to flash the Mackay ROM, and need some guidance to flash it because the ROM that's running have the navigation bar, with the touch buttons deactivated (Back button was constantly malfunctioning).
I want to keep things like this but how do I re-active the Navigation Bar after flashing the ROM?
I did make a research on the Forum but I'm not a very advanced user, so all step-by-step posts were all confuse to me.
Sorry if I sound a bit confuse, English is my second language. Thanks by the patience
The S and the Ace are totalli different devices. Flashing Mackay onto an Ace will most likely brick it.

Totally. I'm using AcePhoenixed on my Ace.
My doubt is: it's just place de Mackay ROM.zip on the SD, fact. reset and flash through CWM? Or there are any other steps to do?
On the S, obviously.
Srry if I was not clear about that

Oh. Yeah, I thought you wanted to flash Mackay onto the Ace ._. Sorry for misunderstanding your query ><
Yeah, if you want to install Mackay, put it in your internal memory. If coming from stock 2.3.6, go GB -> CM9 -> Mackay. Just to be sure you don't lose IMEI. If coming from another ICS/JB rom, wipe combo and then flash through recovery.

Ok. Now about the navigation bar *pic attached*, after I flash the ROM, will it be available to active on Config> System ?
I've already look there on the running ROM, and the option does not appear.
Back touch button doesn't work, so this is the best option for me.
Thx for your help!
Anyone knows if there will any option to activate the NavigationBar??

I WAS WONDERING HOW I CAN FLASH THE SONY'S STOCK KERNEL ON A CUSTOM ROM LIKE CYANOGENMOD AND AOKP
BECAUSE ALL THE OHER KERNELS HAVE REALLY BAD BATTERY LIFE
IS THERE A WAY TO RUN CYANOGENMOD ROM ON SONYS STOCK KERNEL ???
I LUV THE SONY STOCK ROM BECAUSE OF ITS BATTERY,BUT I ALSO LUV CYANOGENMOD BECAUSE OF ITS CUSTOMIZATION AND LOOKS
PLEASE LET ME KNOW, IM STUCK GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SONY'S FIRMWARE AND CYANOGE
First, here are steps in turning off caps lock:
http://www.wikihow.com/Turn-Off-Caps-Lock
Secondly, please search before you post.
Thirdly, if somehow you just can't find what you're looking for:
No, you can't use Sony's kernel on CM11 based ROMs.
You can flash Doom's advanced stock kernel which is just Sony's stock kernel with added recovery via recovery if you want to switch back to stock-based ROMs. It is found in Doomkernel thread, please search for it.
Even we would really like to see AOSP/CM/MIUI on stock kernel, there's no luck...
But...
There are some projects trying to build MIUI on stick kernel so join them and try to help...
..hehe.. Here are steps for turning off caps lock...haha....good one...

CM,PAC other custom roms need custom kernel only..
there are no chances they work on stock kernel....
stock based roms only work on stock kernel
so in conclusion
is there any custom rom out there for xperia z1 that has a really good battery life ?
Just looking for ideas. I've rooted and debloated somewhat. What else can be done?

Install recovery
Install Xposed Framework + Gravitybox
Install any custom rom based on stock firmware (for example "Ultimate Pure XT")
Sell it!!!

Wow that looks great, will that rom have a performance hit?
I make daily backups with titanium and nandroid. Is that sufficient to fully recover back to how my phone is now if I want to remove the ultimate pure xt rom?
Also how do I know what roms are based on stock firmware?
Edit: After looking up gravitybox I still don't understand what it is. I have installed the xposed framework though.

Just install a recovery (like Philz touch) and make a backup from there, in order to be able to resume everything if you need to revert back.
How to know if a rom is based on stock? Just read the description within the first post
Ultimate Pure XT is great: you feel like you're using a Xperia Z2.

With a nandroid backup you will totally replace your phone with what is backed up, so, yes, it will restore your phone to the exact same configuration and ROM as it had when you backed it up. Doesn't back up the kernel though, so be careful with that.

Gravitybox allows for customizing certain visual aspects and functions of the phone (read up on the features). If you don't understand what it is, you most likely don't need it; if you wanted extra functions on your phone you'd Google how to do it and eventually end up at some solution for what you're looking for, such as Gravitybox.
And depending on what function of Gravitybox you're using, you might see some some decrease in speed. For instance, at least for me, when replacing and adding buttons to the navigation bar, sometimes it was a bit slower to respond; nothing I couldn't live with in order to improve Sony's Stock ROM.
I forgot to mention I already did install a recovery.
A rom that is based on the stock rom won't replace the kernel will it? Therefore the fact that nandroid doesn't back up the kernel isn't a problem right?

I am about to install that rom. But I have a small problem:
5. Wipe cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset.
6. Now install the ROM.
7. Once finished installing the ROM, you have to flash immediately the UPDATE-SuperSU.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
could someone tell me these steps in a bit more detail please?
Wipe cache I THINK would be done from recovery yes? I have literally no idea what "dalvik cache" means. And do I do a factory reset the normal way? from inside the settings menu?
"Install the rom" I would assume is done through flashtool? or recovery? (I know how to do it, just don't know which one). Then I ASSUME installing UPDATE-SuperSU is done in the same way as installing the rom?
There's just a few details I'm not clear on, I never get answers by asking for more detailed installation steps inside the official rom thread, so I won't bother asking there.

Everything has to be done from recovery...
Rom and superSU are ZIP files and have to be flashed inside recovery.
Wipe cache, then go in Advanced and wipe dalvik-cache.
If you're coming from a rom on Android 4.3 you don't need to wipe data, else you have to.
