To answer your question and as simply put as possible, YES. JG4 is better than the earlier version. It still remains a very subjective matter where people are know to be happy with older versions because they are more stable than new release, etc.....
Quite honestly, I dont remember if the data is stored or is erased. From the word go, I have been flashing both up and down using Odin and that does erase all user and system data.
Cheers....

if u r talking about jpjg4, then it's fine and stable

[Q] Can someone help me please(xperia x8 crisis)??

Hi guys!!
I'm new here, I found your page cause I am very interested in the update of my xperia x8, I have to say, you're awesome, from 2.1 to 2.3, and I get this ROM "GingerDX v022 2.3.7", i've already checked my kernel and base band, they're both updated,
Well, my trouble is that when I did all the process with xRecovery step by step, after that, I installed the ROM and it got stocked in the gingerdx logo with a short sound and It won't start now, I dont know what to do, otherwise I'm gonna find another ROM that works better than this one,
It would be nice that you can help me with this or recommend me a better one
Thanks!!

Yes, if You're stuck on a bootanimation try to format the data from xRecovery, else try to change the Kernel

[Q] xperia T jelly bean update using flash tool [HELP]

Hey guys,
I'm extremely sorry for opening this thread.! Please forgive me. I posted my question in another thread but didn't get a reply. I am from India and I want to buy Xperia T (which hasn't officially launched in India) from eBay. I was worried about the official jelly bean update for the phone. As tge phone hasn't launched in India the eBay people are providing imported phones. I found a tutorial to manually update the phone here: http://android.sc/update-the-sony-x...o-official-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware/
This is a flash tool method to flash the official 4.1.2 update only for Xperia T LT30p. I just want to know whether this method is COMPLETELY RISK FREE and there is NOT EVEN A SLIGHTEST CHANCE TO BROCK THE DEVICE BOUGHT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD???? I want to know this as the Sony service centre in India won't even look at the phone if there is any problem! Please asure me of this flash tool method by taking a look at it and also,
can you please refer to this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136173 and tell me what can cause this type of problems? The person who started this thread who has posted 'something' about Xperia T and he is from India! And he bought his phone from Germany! I tried searching the net for 'Xperia T India' but I couldn't find a thing. So I just want to be sure about the flash tool method mentioned in the above link. Has anyone done that before?

Then how do you suggest I update the phone safely and securely to the official jelly bean update? Or could you please give me a link to a thread where the question has been answered or to a safe tutorial to update the phone? I tried searching but I wasn't able to find anything that answers my question! And does this depend upon the region from where the phone is? Will I be able to update the phone using this method? Can anyone please help me with a detailed answer?! PLEASE!!

There is no 100% foolproof method, even the sony official method can ruin your phone if YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
However, IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS it will work.
Just try it.

Thank you very much... I was just looking for some confirmation. But now I got to know that this flash tool method is as safe pc companion method(correct me if I am wrong) I am pretty good at following instructions and also I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked, swaped xperia x8 running CM10. I am just so worried because I'm 17 and hence I don' t earn a single penny myself and this xperia T should last me atleast for the next 3 years. Would you please give me confirmation once again just for my satisfaction and also some general advice you think is necessary before following the above method? Like region verification, build no., kernel & firmware version, etc
...Pleaseee?!!:fingers-crossed:
I've pressed the thanks button

Yes, rest assured, it's totally risk-free, using flashtool and flashing STOCK roms and kernels is risk-free, provided that you carefully follow the instructions...
for the firmwares and kernels, regions and the rest, don't worry about these things, as you know, you can flash ANY GLOBAL firmware, whether it is for France or M.E. or Malaysia, so don't worry, just search and see what build number is the last firmware for your T, then flash it, and thanks to DoomLord, you can root it even you have locked bootloader, using his rootkit, so don't unlock the bootloader for now
wish you best of bests, bro

Well thank you... that was really comforting..! Now I will definitely upgrade to jellybean on the first day itself after buying the phone.. Thanks for your reply! I'll buy the phone in 4-5 days and I'll enjoy real lag free 'Sony' jellybean. For too long I've been flaahing ROMs on my xperia x8, so I'm tired of it now. May be I won't get into rooting, etc for another 6 months! Thats what I'm saying now!
By the way if anyone comes across a better method please let me know! Ofcourse I'll be searching too..

Yup.. I did give it a thought! But its out of my budget... or otherwise I would have bought a nexus 4 16GB! Though xperia T is nowhere near the nexus 4 in terms of looks and hardware but it looks much better than SP. Also the SP has just 5.8GB of usable internal storage.... I felt really sad that I can't buy nexus 4 as it costs 100USD more than Xperia T and SP costs 70USD more... But then I thought I'm just 17! Not everyone of my age is lucky enough to own such a phone.. Many of my aquiantances can't even operate a Galaxy Ace!

You can click the + sign next to the incompatibility message to see why its incompatible with your device. Both apps you are referring to can be installed on my device so probably its related to your android version or it might be a country or carrier restriction.

I don't think flashing another rom will make those app compatible unless the incompatibility is caused by your android version. You should try to spoof your device id and device country first to see if you can install the app with a fake id.

So don't flash anything and make some reading first. Make sure you understand what you are doing when you flash stuff. If you are afraid to flash your phone, then you are not ready to do it.

try it for yourself and see.
take nandroid backup before you start - if you don't like HR rom, restore backup. Nothing to lose.

don't know about horn, but lots of bad feedback in play store about world war z not starting/crashing, so I don't think it has anything to do with your device.

Help, newbie questions before installing new ROMs/Recovery System (Xiaomi Redmi 4X)

As stated on the topic I'm a newbie in the world of installing new roms, etc on android phones and I haven't done it before cause I'm a bit scared by the whole thing (I don't want to end up with a brick), I managed to install a custom recovery system on an old samsung and a new ROM, yet with Xiaomi even if it might be the same looks a bit different, so before proceeding to do anything with my current phone I have a couple of newbie questions:
-Can FastBoot be broken somehow?
-Can I use ROMs of other devices (Besides of the Redmi 4x)?
-Can I somehow break the phone irremediably?
-If so, what should I avoid to prevent it?
-Is a custom recovery necessary, or can I use default Xiaomi's one?
-What's the best recovery?
-If I install recovery via fast boot, do I need to root my device?
-What tools should I look forward to use on linux (Ubuntu)?
Those are my questions for now, if you wanna say anything else that should be taken into consideration, feel free, also if you wanna share some useful guide.

First off a little bit of advice don't ask so many questions no one is likely to answer you because unless the person is really bored and has an hour to spare he will not answer you format your question and ask just a couple of questions that are most vital to what you are doing. Also do some research on your own. Your more out to get some help if someone can see you have put forth a little effort. Cheer's

Ok Here you go..
-Can FastBoot be broken somehow?
don't use fastboot.. instead use custom recovery for anything.. wether you're reverting back to MIUI from custom ROM or anything else. Use Fastboot option to Flash recovery only. then your FastBoot will be safe

-Can I use ROMs of other devices (Besides of the Redmi 4x)?
No, Surely a NO!

-Can I somehow break the phone irremediably?
Yes, you may if you dont follow the set of instruction for performing in Fastboot/Recovery. But dont worry a few research can UNBRICK your phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-If so, what should I avoid to prevent it?
Read Instruction carefully, if going to custom ROM wipe all partition like data, cache, system or you will face bootloop(Phone stuck at bootlogo) also Unlock your bootloader in order to perform all the dirty tasks

-Is a custom recovery necessary, or can I use default Xiaomi's one?
100% necessary for many customizations.. even for rooting now-a-days
Click to expand...

-What's the best recovery?
TWRP Recovery & use only which the Redmi 4X Forum provides and follow instructions carefully as stated earlier

-If I install recovery via fast boot, do I need to root my device?
No Recovery does not requires Rooted devices.. or say Rooting needs recovery but recovery doesnt need rooting

Yes, definately Your warranty is going to void as soon as you ROOT/USE CUSTOM ROM/CUSTOM RECOVERY
