Hi guys..
I was an owner of samsung galaxy s2(i9100) and then I moved to the amazing xperia TX.
It is an amazing device as compared to galaxy s2.
However,i do miss the customization choices of the s2 as the TX does not has sufficient developer support as the s2.
Many xperia TX owners root the phone but fear unlocking the bootloader as they fear loosing drm keys,bravia engine,track id etc so they stay away from unlocking the bootloader.
So I thought to create a thread where we can discuss what to do in our devices after rooting so that we can get the most out of our devices
We can have some discussions on root apps,some mods without unlocking the bootloader,system mods etc..

Want cm like themes on your Rooted TX?
This is a great mod that I came across.
All credits go to the developer of the "xtheme engine"

Superior power saving features by using apps such as Greenify and One Power Guard.
Extensive backup and restore functions using Titanium Backup.
Manual system modifications by having access to the root directory. Endless possibilities
Also I used to think that there isn't much development here compared to the previous Samsung phone I had. But to be honest, I am quite happy with the stock Rom. So I don't complain. Occasionally I shift to a CM 10.1 release but then come back to my stock rom. So there is actually not much that devs can do to improve an already full featured rom. This is my opinion.
Hi,
U r right..
When I used a samsung,i always used a sony theme on cm.
But now on sony stock rom,i never felt the need to change to any other rom
Sony's jelly bean is the best...

Hi mate,
Just dont apply tweaks that u "think" would make any effects...apply the the tweaks for the feature u want on your phone..
Sent from my LT29i using Tapatalk 2
Funny thing is, the majority of mods on pimp my rom, we already have on our xperia phones anyways, so there isn't really much to do with it in the end
As for what I do after rooting, I install TB and remove all bloatware, and then leave it as it is because there's not much need for extra mods/tweaks and all that

Hi,
I mean just apply the mods for the changes you "need" on your device.
For example,if we apply the mod "pimp my beats" we can get good quality audio output from our headphones.
I have bravia engine 2 and beats audio installed in my TX and they work really well..

Hi mate,
I agree with your point..but there are still many mods for pimping our rom
We can have build.prop tweaks,init.d support etc.
Me too have not made many tweaks in my TX with "pimp my rom" but there are still many mods which we can apply...
Cheers!!

This is an AOSP build for the Sony Xperia T.
What is AOSP?
AOSP is the Android Open Source Project. It is the code that Google releases to the public to build upon.
What does this ROM do?
This ROM is the AOSP sources compiled so they would run on our device. It is similar and different to how CyanogenMod and other source compiled ROMs work. The interface will be the same, the overall feel of the ROM will be the same. However, unlike other custom ROMs there are no options. There are no settings to play around with. It's just a pure Google Experience. Think of it as using the ROM that comes as stock on a Nexus device - it is exactly that. It's superfast and just how Google intended
Working:
All core and important functions of the ROM - WiFi, Bluetooth, RIL, Mobile Data. Camera etc.
Not working:
There will inevitably be some bugs. I've played with it for a few days and I couldn't fin anything glaringly broken in my usage. However, I fully expect there to be minor problems here and there - please feel free to report on this thread.
Download:
ROM - 24/08/2012 - Download
GApps - Download
The kernel source for this ROM can be found at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_sony_msm8x60
Thanks to:

Can you test the prox sensor during a phone call and see if the screen comes on when pulled away from your ear? Interested in AOSP options if things are solid. Thanks for the ROM tilal.
I know this wasn't suppose to work on TX, but I tried it on my TX anyways
Screen in recovery is upside down
and I get "Status 7" error on flashing the zip
Thank you,
I think that it should work also on TX .
just install it with another kernel

i think that Status 7 has to do something with the update.zip .

Anyone interested in a stock based ROM-Jelly Cream with many ported apps but on the old bootloader.
I have ported this.
Let me know if someone interested in testing this.
I can send the link via PM if you are interested
Thanks
Sorry that I post here but I have a problem/bug in this ROM(newbootloader version). Everytime I receive a text message(sms) I get this error:
" Note: The Application Messaging (process.com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". The good thing is that I receive the message, the bad is that the phone doesn't ring and get always this message. I wiped the cache/sms cache/etc but with the same result.
The second problem is after I flash kowlasky, the kowlasky manager doesn't work properly(the led brightness doesn't work, and the kernel info doesn't appear in phone information, it shows the stock kernel info.
Thanks!

impossible to get it on old bl.
new bl = more space in system folder for applications. almost all ICS based ROMs can not be on old bl because they take too much size. old bl is too smal in size (MB) mate.

This is not true: if you change the old bl system partition to 512MB any rom available on xda for new bl and converted to old bl can be installed.
Usually CM converted roms work, stock ICS or similar roms (like this one) might have problems related to some converted file but not depending to the size.

very good flash, but is it possible to add the Russian language?
I am on latest stock indian jellybean rom, unrooted. My Note has become extreeemely sluggish and it takes ages to open apps. For example, if I am listening to a song, and I try to tag it with shazam or sound hound, they take ages to open and by the time the song has already finished. Secondly, when my friends ask me to click a pic of theirs at any moment, it feels very bad that the camera takes ages to open.
I want to know, if I root the device, and use the greenify app to freeze unwanted system apps, can my phone become reasonably alright. Also if I want to root without flashing any kernal or roms, is it possible. PLease help !!!
I think you should smash you Galaxy Note.
I don't know what a "Kernal" is but if you want to stay stock why dont you just reset factory settings from the phone setting, it will be as good as it was when you bought it.

Sorry , but I think you should just flash it to AOSP roms . I experienced what you are currently having right now the sluggishness , it's all Samsung's part to blame , they ruined the Jelly Bean for the Note 1 , I can confirm that ICS was running way smoother than JB too!
Even tried Custom TW rom with JB , still the same laggyness , opening the Gallery app would take a long time compared to other roms. So my advice is to just ditch TouchWiz Jelly Bean for the note 1.
The answer to your problem is simple. Install sweet ROM version 10 with c.o.h kernel and greenify. Then install nova launcher if you want a butter smooth ui. My phone runs like lightning...has great battery life as well. Stock Samsung roms run like crap as they want you to buy a new phone.
Slim Bean 2.0 is your friend. Android 4.3.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
ICS is the only way to go for smoothness. I use 4.0.4 LRK
Sent from my GT-N7000
Use ics if you want stock experience as well as smoothness. Stock Jelly bean for note is total crap. And yes, use a different launcher if you want to preserve 100 mb RAM.
Sent from my GT-I9105 using xda app-developers app
I went for P.A.C. running 4.3.1, and it's a world of a difference! Battery is great, performance is great, and has so many features that it's so much fun to customize.
I do prefer stock, but ICS has that scary bug that can brick your phone and JB for the Note is like a sewer. Thankfully my company is giving me a S4 Mini in the next few days...
The phone is easy enough to root - two files in the main int. memory directory if I remember correctly, and boot into the normal recovery mode to install them.
CM10.2 ran very well for me. Stable, better battery life, more responsive (for a two year old phone anyhow).
I'm currently on PAC as well because I like the extra options, but the cost of these new toys does seem to be minor stability issues, although that could be in part due to the number of memory intensive apps I tend to have running.

Instead of freezing them, just uninstall using tb so will free some space in the system partition. Use the supersu.zip file to root. File can be found in many rooting tutorials in the forum.
I recently got the XPERIA SP(C5303) and I've been wondering whether I should root it or not.
From the information I've gathered currently, I can see a lot of people are having issues.
My main question is..
Is it worth rooting?
What are the pro's and con's of rooting this specific device (Xperia Sp)?
For example, will rooting disable the offline charging features?
What other aspect of the phone will be unavailable if I root..?
I really want to root but these problems are holding me back.
Can anyone reassure me?
Thank you very much.:good:

Despite the issues some uses face I would say rooting has more in favour for than against.
Before rooting you can use flashtools to backup your ROM into a ftf file so you can use of you don't like it.

repair with SEUS or PC compagnon
I have rooted my SP about 10 times give or take
The last 3 days i kept changing and trying roms and flashing kernels(i relocked and unlocked my bootloader 2 times) (most used program in my PC was flashtool )
But thats just extreme so i slowed down. Overall as zolaisugly said rooting helps you and dont mind about the small bugs that can be repaired easily
Also to make your decision easier you can use these apps : Titanium Backup , Greenify , Light Flow (helped me a lot) , Folder Mount , Link 2 SD !!!!
It just worth it !!!!
so i have a xperia sp with stock rom.id like to know what all problems can be caused by rooting the phone.and after rooting the phone,will the LED light strip stop working?

No ofcourse not (; don't worry. Nothing will be disabled, and for the offline charging bug, just make your own ftf from a repair with SEUS and you'll flash a bug free kernel when done rooting .254

Mere rooting of the phone does NOT give problems.
Unfortunately, with the advent of 4.3, "mere' rooting is not possible unless you install pre-rooted "custom" roms.
A few roms are simply "re-engineered" stock to allow root and recoveries - these give the least problems.
Other roms are modified, and thus have more chances of problems.
I installed this "near stock" rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 and had no problem
Because I wanted more than stock, I am now on this (the longest I have been on one rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658043
If you have your own stock in hand, try the above roms. If you encounter problems, it is easy to re-flash your stock.
Your greatest challenge would be to downgrade to 4.1.2 to root before you can install these roms.
Hi, I read about this on Xataka:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.android.addoncamera.timeshift
It seems to be only for Xperia with 4.2+, and by the moment its confirmed for Z's family at least, someone with the 4.3 leaked can confirm if its available for T and V?
If google play dont let you install on T and V there is some way to made it work without installing Z1's camera mod? I supose maybe only need to install Z1's framework and get the .apk
Thanks to the one who test it, I have the V since a week ago, but im trying to calibrate the battery so i prefer dont be flashing 4.3 by the moment
