Sorry for asking such a question, it's hard for me to follow XDA, there lots of pages. So basically, I rooted my phone, JIT my phone (benchmark ~710) but I still feel that it's somehow lagging and I wan to make the best of it. I pondering whether to install 2.1 Custom ROM ASOP or Froyo 2.2.1 AOSP ROM.
I more into gaming, music, video, facebook etc so I don't think Froyo will be suitable for me since there's lot of bugs such as cannot install certain apk, no camera (don't know still got what). What about 2.1 ASOP? With it be better compared to now? And there's three version (full, light, ultralight). Which one should I install?
And is it replacing the original ROM or just another ROM (meaning I can switch back to the original ROM anytime).
FYI : I wish to keep chinesetextinput, JapaneseIME, PhoneBook, mediascape. I already using Launcher Pro Plus so I don't need the Launcher Pro launcher
Thanks in advance!
Don't install either of those roms time as they are not finished and can't really be used for everyday use .

sit tight mate, they (Jerpelea) is about to release v5 of his AOSP 2.1 ROM - and he says that the dialler is working.
also, thank you for not posting in the DEV thread!!! you have no idea how frustrating it is looking for bug reports in that thread now - i feel so sorry for J and Z
edit: just re-read your first post. Are you sure u need to keep mediascape? there are better alternatives that are provided in vanilla (AOSP) android, that do not get so intrusive in the system. The AOSP rom is a complete flash, so you have to choose to use it or something else.
The full, light and ultralight are NOT AOSP ROMS either so you know, they are customised SE roms that can be used with Zdzihu's recovery menu. These CAN be used with your existing ROM in a way, but you will need to juggle backups and image files. can be done, but takes about 10 minutes to change. Safe and works, but a little clunky
First of all, backup everything u want! Titanium backup ot even the .apk on ur SD or PC
I am running both...
2.1 custom AND 2.2 custom, i cant make any calls on 2.1 -> reboot to 2.2
Cant take pics from camera -> reboot to 2.1
...
It works fine for me
My quadrant results:
2.1 ~720
2.2 ~2200
Thx for posting a new thread and not spamming the dev thread...
Edit: yes, u can go back to original SE rom, just use the link for the .504 version in the first post of 2.1 custom rom thread

@mrtim123 : Thanks but can you futher explain what you mean recovery menu? So you meaning the ASOP will replace the current ROM while the customised SE roms can be use with the current ROM anytime?
From the custom ROM ASOP thread,
They stated:
Not working
-video playback is not using hardware decoder for some formats
-camera settings crashes
So the dailer is already working?
And will remove mediascape result in problems in the future? Heard from some thread that it will result in problems.
@PoTi_96 : It's kind of hazzle to change here change there. I prefer one ROM rather than 2.
I know but the dialer wasnt fixed, now im just running 2.1

I installed asop 2.1 ver b006 last night and now i have about 17 hours of usage. I belive that it is almost a rom for a dayly use. Bugs i experienced so far are camera settinhs giving FC, some minor problems with downloads on build in browser,all fixed with opera. It comes half rooted but can easy root with z4root app, i could not find the gallery but after instaling the app from this forum ( gallery 3d) i am more sattisfied then with mediascape timescape or any other SE program. I find it verry snappy and belive you should try it after a backup with titanium. Another beautifull app is the recovery.menu witch is the best. All the best

Pardon, I have no clue when coming to such things. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The recovery.menu is it a kind of application that help you flash your phone? So I have to keep pressing back when the Sony logo came out to go into recovery mode and install the ASOP ROM? And the Global ROM is to revert back? So I had to install both ROM?
However since stated that it's not possible to call people, how is it possible that the ASOP can be used for daily. I don't mind about the camera since I don't really use it.
P.S I already download the ASOP ROM for the main thread.

So I have to keep pressing back when the Sony logo came out to go into recovery mode ABOUT 5 TIMES
and install the ASOP ROM? YES, AS UPDATE.ZIP
And the Global ROM is to revert back? BACKUP FIRST
So I had to install both ROM? YES, NOW YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN
However since stated that it's not possible to call people, how is it possible that the ASOP can be used for daily. WORKS ON LATEST RELEASE

Thank you for your reply. One more question before I start on it. So when you say switch between, when I switch will it remain the same or it will be a completely fresh ROM?
For example I now using ASOP ROM and wan switch to the original ROM and if i decide to go back ASOP, will all settings be gone?

When you restore, you will get back state you were in at backup. Same settings, same apps.
So meaning, I can keep the setting of the current Sony ROM. So if i chage to ASOP and decide to change back I can have the same settings?
And if i decided not to use ASOP anymore, I can just delete both the original and ASOP ROM at my SD card?

You must back up first though.

Hello.
One question from noob.
How can I backup and restore my SMS & MMS messages when flashing ROMS.
I have been looking into this, but haven't found a proper way.
I'm now soon going to change to Clockwork Recovery ROM'sbut I would really like to be able to restore my SMS/MMS.
Can someone help me ??
Can someone also recommend a ROM, a daily use ROM.
To backup SMS etc use this free app.
I am using this Desire HD based Sense Rom and can't fault it. Each ROM choice is a matter of personal taste though.

Go get "sms backup" app from market, before you make the switch.
edit:
I am using the same build as nobnut, I can vauch for it too!
Stable, auto backup everything on sd car, gps, wifi, 3G - everything works.
Nice HTC Sense themes and you can use Go Launcher to make it clean Android look, so you have lots of options.

Hi im curently on MIUI 1.4.1 nand i had it for a while,its a good rom but i got bored an now i want to try new rom, i switch roms almost every week i Love trying new bulids
my question is if i do a MIUI nandroid backup from CWR,can i restore it on a gignerbread sense rom (Frankinstine's 2.3.3 rom )
Hi,
A NANDROID BACKUP is a complete backup of the entire system you are running i.e. MIUI.
If you install a new ROM i.e. Gingerbread and don't like it ,you can restore your MIUI system exactly how it was.
If on the other hand you want to save the settings and data,you should use something like Titanium Backup .However ,this might not work on all ROMS
So i will lose my data with nandroid?
There can be some problems. But it may work.
Do a backup with Titanium just in case and then try with nandroid.
Problem is i dont have wifi to download titanium

Hi,
I'm looking for some hints from some experienced flashers.
I followed that Quarx CM10 builds up to mid November when I went to India.
I'm volunteering there now and spend weeks finetunig the settings of the phone and downloading/configuring apps.
Now I'm quite afraid to flash a newer rom as I always did all the davlik deleting and whatever else deleting which leaaves me with a (working) blank phone. I never had problems with newer roms this way.
I now installed tianium backup, I'm just a bit overwhelmed with the options...
Could someone please give me a hint how I can flash a new rom without losing all my apps/settings?
Thanks,
Matthias
For apps use APP2ZIP app from playstore which creates .zip of your apps and when you flash new roms just flash this zip and your apps are on a go.
There are apps for settings too but I don't remember them right now sorry
