I'm going to give a quick run down of my situation and what I have done and I would just like to get some understanding or guide to what the heck I'm doing different then everyone else.. and I have lots of knowledge in technology and I'v been playing around with phones for 14 years now.. So here's the deal.
I have 2 Sony Xperia X10a. - one from Rogers the other from Fido.. Who give's a crap.. OK next.
I flashed both phones with FlashTool 3.0.0 -
Rom - X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf
Root IT / Reboot
Xrecovery Install. - I select the first one , so the one w/out GB in the name.
Copy Files to SD Card for GB Flash..Files I copy are..
" X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "
" ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "
I also have a folder "Addons" that I have a couple things like.. " SEMC.Calculator.zip & "SEMC.Gmail.Gtalk.Email.zip" ..so on..
I then Reboot the phone into Xrecovery...
1 - Wipe user data
2 - clear cache
3 - advanced options - clear cache again..
4 - Install Custom Zip....Select " X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "... Done
5 - Reboot Via XRecovery and Remove battery Instantly
6 - Flash via FlashTool - X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only kernel_baseband.ftf
7 - Unplug / Remove battery . Wait 10 Seconds.. Boot phone.
8 - Phones Booted.. My SD Card already was in 2 FAT32 Partitions. One 14GB one 1GB..
9 - Proceed to Link2SD App..Start it.. Reboot Phone..
10- Selected and Linked Apps in Link2SD .. Rebooted Phone..
11 - Started Link2SD ...go to " More " .. Selected link dalvik-cache files... Rebooted Phone
12 - Used File Explorer .. went to SDCard.. if there is a Scriptz folder Delete it.. there was no scriptz folder..
13 - Rebooted Phone.. Enter in Xrecovery mode.. Advanced options .. "Wipe dalvik cache"
14 - Install Custom Zip..Select " ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "... Done...
15 - Rebooted Via Xrecovery
16 - Started Link2SD... go to " More " .. Select "Link dalvik-cache files" again and then "Market Fix"
17 - Rebooted Phone again.
18 - Used phone.. Setup Google Accounts / Email / Facebook / A few apps / synced picasa photos... Rebooted
Done Install..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 - Ran Quadrant Standard Benchmark .. Free From Market.. Only Scored 850
20 - Rebooted.. and then Installed SetCPU.. Few $ from Market....When I started SetCPU I selected " Show Other Frequency Sets " and Selected
Custom Frequency Reads from:
/sdcard/setcpu.txt
/system/sd/setcpu.txt
/data/local/setcpu
Sort Speeds in kHz, Separated by comma, from lowest to highest.
21 - Allowed Root Access.. and I did not Touch one setting in SetCPU. I went to advanced and selected "Apply"
22 - I then went to INFO in SetCPU .. If I run a Short Bench.. I score between 220 - 250.. avg sometimes it spikes.. Long Bench is 519..
23 - Rebooted .. Ran Quadrant again I am only scoring max 1080ish.. Lowest I have seen is 800.. It is all over the place.. and no where close to 1750 that erik is getting..
24 - I also Ran LINPACK and my max on a single thread was 38 .. and on multi-thread it was 32...
I don't understand What I am missing or doing wrong.. Maybe I have spent too much time on it in the past few days flashing and re flashing and yada yada that i'm just in need of a good break and then go back at it.. but my roomie who has the other X10 that I converted her to from the Iphone is also doing the same where it's not scoring to great..
I also am running into issues on her phone where it's having lots of force closes and freezing....I was just doing a quad benchmark on it now and it only scored 600??? I did the exact same.. back to flashing 2.1.. all the exact steps I have taken on my phone.. the only difference is she only has a 2gb sd card so I have not installed Link2SD on her phone.. But I have been told that should not make too much of a difference.. have i been mislead? Please assist. I am VERY lost and starting to get cheesed .. I just want what Erick has LOL But Really I converted her from Apple to Droid because she used my phone when I had one of Erick's first GB Roms and it was running fast.. she was very impressed and happy..
.. OK As I was typing this out I'm playing around with the phones and I just got a new msg on BOTH phones remember one is Link2SD one is Not.. " Could not read SetCPU Custom Config. Reverting to Defaults. Is your SDCard unmounted from the PC? .. Both phones are not plugged in .. I did a remount in storage settings.. Same error.. But If I do a device selection again.. it reads the SD Card SetCPU.txt files.. WOW . I am so confused. PLEASE ASSIST!!!!
I really hope there is enough information here.. ask me for anything or to do anything on it and i'll send it and give it a shot ! Thanks in advanced everyone! and thanks again Erick for the sick ROM!
Wow.. Another Patch! Updating to 3.3f.zip.. Will report back if any change in performance! no change.. now I just have the Sony Setup Menu start everytime my phone boots.. if i clear advanced cache in xrecovery all my sync accounts get deleted.. and I also had to downgrade my market because it was just crashing.. I also have problems with swype .. it keeps crashing in chomp.l never had problems like that until 3.3f update. ... thou I just talked to Janessa and she said her phone is groovy like the 70's.. LOL I don't understand.. She was having the problems...now I am! LOL Let's get some input going! Thanks again Everyone! AKA ERICKWILL!!
Thanks again erick!!
bump?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Hey man, don't bother with scores and numbers.
Flash the patch, let it settle for some hours and use it.
I just flashed the new 3.7 patch few minutes ago and waiting for it to settle.
I didn't read the EDIT.
My x10i got really slow booting and annoying when It gets too low space in sdcard.
Take a look at her sdcard.
For the FC's, I often have them when I flash a new patch. After I done everything in link2sd (relink, reboot, etc), I reboot again and fix permissions at xrecovery. Them I reinstall all apps that are FC using the link2sd interface.
As I said, I just patched to 3.7f and got two FC at launcher startup. This time was App Brain Market and Battery Widget Pro. Reinstalled them using the option "reinstall" inside link2sd and everything is OK now.
Yesterday I patched to 3.3 and got a different FC from today. Total Recall was FC at startup, them I went to link2sd and reinstalled it. It's working fine since them.
any error flashing the 3.7f patch? mine says error at line 12
I had no erros here.
My x10 was running the lastest rom with 3.3f.
Deleted scriptz folder, rebooted, cleaned dalvik cache and flashed.
Booted, went to link2sd, reboot again for mount the 2nd partition.
Booted again, link2sd, relinked dalvik, reboot.
Fixed permissions, reboot. Reinstalled 2 apps that were fc and its stable for now.
i cannot find the scriptz folder on my sdcard? ??!
Which file explorer are you using? I think if you can't see it's because it doesn't exist.
To be sure, connect your phone using USB cable and enable USB mounting to access sdcard from your PC. If you still can't see this way, it surely does not exist in your sdcard.
Go to xrecovery, wipe dalvik cache and flash the patch.
no error.. mm if u did I think u need to start all over from 2.1 again..
ok trying to flash 2.1 again.. still cant see it through my pc.. tnxx
still a fail T_T... there is still no scriptz folder.. and still with the same error flashing 3.7f patch woo

Get all the files you need for the 2.1 flash and the baseband fix if you need for 2.1 flash from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 .. the links are in the first post. and one again also remember to use the "Flash" button in flashtool to flash the TFT files. there is no other way to do this but I am just assuming maybe you are flashing custom zips via xrecovery...I hope this helps.. I'm going to have time this week to do a remake of the video on Ericks Firmware install.. It's ok but it's assuming to much little steps.

Hi all,
I rooted my SGS2 yesterday with chainfire's post which worked GREAT but where can i go from here? advise would be good
I used cf-root,KF3 kernel and then went back to the stock KF3.
Ive had problems when trying to access the INTERNET today (nothing would load) then i cleared the cache and rebooted the phone. I.E wouldn't work but went to orangeworld and i could view the net but when i tryed to access pages on xda, potuk it kept coming up with orange safeguard. So i rung orange and complained that something was wrong with my phone. They tryed 3 setting messages and nothing would work. They asked me to try and access my account from my phone and that kept comming up with a error message "didn't reconise my phone" SGS2. They came back to me and said that second line support had found a problem with my account and needed to do something, and to try my phone again in 2 hrs NO JOY still around 07.30 am. 12.30 i get home and get a phone call from orange saying "try my phone now" All good seems fixed. They also gave my £10 credit on my next bill ???????? Why??????
add applications or themes to customize your phone to what ever you like. Most application a dn other programs on this and other sites require a rooted phone.
Can i use roms and things like that? if so which ones can i use with having root and
being on this:
XXKE7
XWKF3
Roms will either have root in them or not .
Use whatever rom you want .
A suggestion would be to start with an easy rom like Cognition .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124396
Simple install as below .
I highly recommend flashing the full rom! (updates can be unpredictable)
(If you have problems with the update version, flash the full rom instead)
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip from below (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above
(Let it flash)
Reboot, Enjoy!
I planning to move to UL bootloader + Doomkernel + WBV7b6 ROM.
Also With almost few months into WBV7 , the phone is quite sluggish due to apps, So i want to use Link2SD to freeup some space (internal memory) so that the phone is little faster , So will Link2SD be compatible with above said config ?
More over can anyone give a pathway from my current config to above said one.. ie what should i do first ? UL the bootloader first ? or flash the kernel ?
I have downloaded flastool (113MB) and Unlocked Bootloader Doomlord WBV7b6 ROM (85MB) so far , so just waiting for someone to guide me on how to proceed. Also WB said I need to download Doomlords Kernel for unlocked Bootloader , but there are 3 different kernels , which one do you guys think is good ? or stable ?
I downloaded the full overclock version, then with something like SetCPU you can change the frequencies to suit your phone. Mine kept rebooting at the full overlock but was happy at a notch down.
Don't forget to download the wifi module to your phone and flash it from xrecovery.

Thanks , but how to proceed from my current config ? what should i do first ?
hi naveen,
first step would be to unlock boot loader. search for "bootloader bypass proper x10" to see how this is done. there is more than one way.
then flash doom kernel and the correct baseband
then install the ROM.

Thanks , the latest Flashtool has option to ULBL , shall i use it ?also just by ULBL will the phone work ?
then flash doom kernel and the correct baseband

I am on .71 baseband. Should i have to restart after this , or after ULBL ?
Can anyone tell me how in detail , like restarting the phone , etc etc
Unlocked the BL and installed the WB ULBLdoom ROM via Xrecovery and then pulled out the battery and flashed the Doomkernel via flashtool , now the phone starts , but hangs at doomkernel loadpage
What version of doomkernel did you use? use the failsafe version and see if it boots.
Dont know , restarted a few times , then restarted again with FLASHTOOL running , and fortunetly it booted.. blazing fast now , but its all because of more internal ram available .
@cr4zypo3t
How to install link2SD ? does it have any bug or issues ? . Last time the phone came to a crawl due to too much of apps running from internal memory , ie why i want o move them to SD .. please can you help me on that.
open Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, there some applications will have the option to "move to SD card". This is native.
i don't use links2sd. Links2sd can work but there is hot-fix you have to apply. This is mentioned in Wolfbreak's thread (additional downloads or somewhere). Also, i don't think moving applications to SD card will help in the way you have described. You may see improvement if you remove unnecessary system apps though.
does apps 2 sd (market app) will help me ? Also some say that i need to partition something, to use links2sd , is it so , or just use the hotfix given by WB and straightaway use links2sd ?
I want to remove FB , apps and games app , twitter , timescape , infinite viewer from WB ROM , how to do it ?
Thanks a lot for replying cr4zypo3t
I restarted to install links2sd , but again hangs on DL boot screen , also how to enter into xrec or is it replaced with CWM ?
Oh yes. I forgot, you need to partition your SD card to use links2sd. The second partition must be ext2, and you will have to completely format the SD card while partitioning(i.e will lose data on the card). The hot-fix is also required. In my opinion Links2SD can be avoided by moving the app to SD card as I had described earlier.
To remove the apps install ES file explorer(free app) or root explorer(paid app) and in their respective settings mount /system as R/W. You can find the system apps in /system/app/. You can simply delete them. Be sure to make back-up in case something goes wrong. There is a thread on this forum that lists which all apps are safe to remove. Find it using search function.
Other option is using flashtool. It has a 'clean' option that can be used to (reversibly) remove system apps. Once you get to the list of system apps, use ctrl-click to select multiple system apps and press clean. It may get stuck on some apps so pull the phone and don't select that app next time. It will reboot the phone once it has removed all the apps. It stores them on you pc before deleting them, so even if you accidentally remove a required app, you can put back.
To enter xrecovery press the back button when you see blue LED upon booting. You can enter CWM/doom's CWM by pressing vol. up or vol. down keys.
When it is stuck on DL logo, is the LED glowing white?If not just reflash wolfbreaks ROM.

No just moved them , and it worked , but what is the difference between this normal moving and links2sd ?

Was using back button when the DL logo logo was flashing and eventually nothing happened , then found that , we need to press either of those keys only during the blue light

Well it did glow white sometimes , but i asked this on WB thread and a member adviced me to install Medium OC`s DL kernel + wifi module , and after flashing it , now its working fine.
BTW can you help me on this ?
Thanks a lot for the replies .. also , is there a way to change the default dialer , i mean , i use Ex Dialer (MIUI based) , but when i call , it send it to the default dialer which kind of sucks.
Also is there a way to disable , "Data Traffic- data traffic is disabled" notification ? It kind of bugs me

Thanks a lot for the replies cr4zypo3t
I am glad i could help.
by just moving them you cannot access these apps when the sd card is mounted. since links2sd uses a separate partition, you can use the apps even when sd card is mounted.
yes, the freeze option is simpler
I don't know about either of those things.

hello all respected developers,
your contributions to the photon 4g community and to the android community is wonderful. I hope I won't be pissing you guys off with my questions. Feel free to delete the post if you think its already asked and not worth it.
I'm what you would call a typical end user. Have only basic knowledge about flashing roms and I'm a huge motorola fan. Not the software but only the hardware they give.
Ok now for the questions and problems I face with the roms.
1. I installed AOKP rom with the newest and latest kitchen sink (kitchensink-v2.11-photon7). Installed perfectly.
=>After I installed the rom I wanted to take a picture with my camera, and i dont use an external SD card so i wasnt able to take picture with my camera because near the camera click button it kept saying "you need sd card" which I don't have and would not like to buy a new one.
I feel about 8 gb internal storage is more than enough for a cell phone and don't want to waste anymore money buying useless accesories.
How can I fix this?? I checked the aroma installer there is no option for use EMMC as primary storage. How do I turn my internal storage as the primary storage.
2.Now I thought i would give CNA rom a try, i installed it went perfectly well. Now I went into settings storage and storage configuration just like thebill said, and clicked on the option that says to use internal storage and rebooted phone, now camera works fine here.
=> BUT in this rom there is another problem, i go into settings and try to click on the mobile networks (because i want to edit APN and stuff) what i get is an error that says exactly this "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" .
3. Now everyone says cm9 works very well is very stable. Now i want to see this cm9 for myself. so i downloaded " beta 0.8.1 AROMA - 23/08/2012 8:01pm EST " from www(dot)jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cyanogenmod9-photon/ It is aroma based so install it directly with full wipe and reboot phone after installing I get stuck in the "dual core technology screen" . I tried various suggestions given here for boot loop problem i cleared cache and data did factory reset try install it again still stuck in boot loop.
now out of these 3 problems solve any 1 for me please.
thanks in advance
CM9 does work well. But, I tried the Aroma version myself and had issues so maybe try one of the others first.

The kitchen sink rom has not been updated in a very long time. All of the roms included are based on our ICS builds. We have since moved onto JB and most will say that our JB roms are much more stable than ICS roms. I would suggest downloading the jelly bean versions of AOKP and CNA and trying them out as they are in active development and getting more stable every week. You will have a better experience with these.
i have more questions now coz of my careless button pressing i formatted emmc in the cwm and now i dont have any files in internal storage and i formated system, cache data etc etc everything full wipe. But i still have cwm recovery and i can boot into it, My question is how do I move files into the internal storage of my mopho with CWM?

Should be able to go into mounts and storage and select mount emmc or sdcard and connect your phone to your computer. Then you'll be able to put files onto it. I noticed you said you didn't have an sdcard? Are you sure? My photon came with a 2gb sdcard already installed if I'm not mistaken. If its there, choosing to mount usb storage will work too.
well **** it..im gonna install jb like u guys said. Since ics development is stopped i hope gsm works in the new jb.
the mount usb storage doesnt work in cwm get some error (some unable lunfile error) is there way to push files using fastboot?
hi, i just bought an sd card lol and mounted it and installed cm9 beta. Now i got a problem earlier when i installed CNA i messed with the testing tools and clicked something and from there i lost my GSM signal completely gone (got x mark on the signal bar) and after that i did format system n installed another rom and even in that rom i dont get any signal (get x sign on the signal bar) i dont remember what i pressed exactly does anyone know how i can fix it? in the settings status and signal status it says radio off.
Again, you'll probably have better luck with any of the JB based roms. You'll never wanna go back to ics. Make sure you download the gsm version.
But to fix your current setup, you can try going into phone app and dialing *#*#4636#*#* then ensuring the network type is set to gsm auto prl. Set it to that if its not then reboot. If this doesn't help I don't know how to fix your current setup as I don't know what you changed.

ok i can tell u exactly what i did. in the CNA rom in the system settings there is an option called advanced testing i clicked on that --> next i clicked on "testing settings" ----> then phone information----> then i clicked on run ping test---> then scroll down and its selected as gsm auto(PRL) no worries there---> but then i clicked on turn off radio thats when the problem started ---> even though i turned it back on radio is still turned off any idea how to turn it back on???
EDIT: when dial *#*#4636#*#* before i even type in the last " * " it force closes settings and the dialer too man im kicking myself right now for messing with advanced testing options
EDIT: ok i remember what i else i clicked i pressed the menu button and clicked on select radio band and selected USA band even though i live in india. But there was only one option USA band so now how do i turn back to international???

I am unsure how to get you back to working in your current rom. Again though, doing a full wipe and installing the gsm version of cm10 should fix you right up as long as you wipe correctly. By that I mean, wipe cache, system, data, and dalvikcache before installing. Sorry I can't be of more help, I've never had to tinker with gsm nor have I left the country with my photon.

Hello all
I'm writing to this section, because it didn't allowed me to write somewhere else (f.e. to misc. devices).
I have serious problems with my new Android device, which I have won recently.
First short info about tablet:
DPS Dream 7 - 4.0.4 (ICS) - 1.5 - 3.0.8+ - [email protected] #10 - Sun Sep 2 15:03:57 CST 2012
Iťs exotic tablet
Well, and now the story:
I wanted root to my device... I've heard, that z4 root is really nice for beginners to root their device.
So I have given it a try. I have downloaded, launched and... it said that I have already root... > I thought it's just a mistake so I clicked RE-ROOT. Tablet has frozen for few seconds and z4 shutted down. Nothing happened. Well, so I have tried UN-ROOT (and than I wanted just to click root).
After I selected UN-ROOT, it said: done and I have rebooted tabled. After reboot I was shocked. EVERYTHING WAS GONE! All data, applications, even live wallpaper... When I opened menu, there we're only basic applications... It was just like after I have unpacked tablet from box (but Icons we're somewhere else, it was like I have just started another ROM). Well, ok (I thought) and I have launched z4 root APK from SD card. But suddenly it said that I can't install that, because I have full memory!
I looked at memory and - 1,5 GB free (in) and 15GB free (SD-card). I looked on internet (using google) and I've heard, that sometimes I need to clear /cache and some app data in /data. Well, so I have cleared /cache (through recovery) and than I have tried to download something from google apps (I needed to sign in again and now I have my same device twice in google play). But I cannot download anything - it say, that memory is full! I have then tried to install game (APK was in SD-CARD) called Inotia 3 and it normally installed.. LOL. I have tried reboot (I wanted to install that z4 root and root my device again to bring old ROM back) but .. WTF .. Inotia is GONE again and everything is again just like after factory reset!
So... there was just one way out left. Factory reset through recovery.. It's weird, that in recovery menu I can only move down... I cannot move up (I have buttons at the side of tablet - POWER, BACK, MENU) Well, I have selected total factory reset, confirmed, rebooted, AND IT DIDNT HELP.
So.. please, do you have any ideas, what can I do now?
I need to install z4 root somehow. Maybe it's just stucked somewhere between root and no-root... I cannot do anything, because all changes are deleted after root...
Any help will be appreciated.
Root
The DPS DREAM tablets was initially opened with root. Just install the superuser app in the Market, which already distributes the root privileges. You made a mistake, read the first time.
Hello
Thanks for reply.
Yes, I have made a big mistake and that's why I'm asking you for help
Thanks
done
I have solved this problem.. moved busybox from xbin to bin.

i have some problems with a rom based in Cyanogen 7 ( it's no official)
the keyboard is small...
there is in some way to modify it and make it bigger?
another thing is that i would like to pass apks from my pc to my htc wildfire s but there's no way the system android don't detected them
the good things is that I got 2.00 GB of free internal memory and is supposed it was installed directly to the sd , so I would like to improve and not change the rom
to prevent spam i can't put the link to download the rom , so the person who was interesed please send me a message
the rom is from another foro in spanish called htcmania
someone could help me?
thanks a lot !
The Keyboard can be changed by searching for another keyboard.apk for your phone, U can update it with google Play, or Aptoide.
Then the app problem, so you can't copy apks to your phone? and your phone doesn't install apps to sd?
Try the app:
apps2sd
or
connect your phone with your computer, install adb drivers
type in your path to yourAndroid SDK installation at Step 1:
Step 1: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Step 2: adb devices (it should say there's a device listed when your phone is connected!)
Step 3: adb shell
=> A $ sign should pop up
Step 4 :pm setInstallLocation 2 (or, new syntax : adb shell pm set-install-location 2)
Another $ should pop up

i installed a new keyboard and the adb drivers but the problem with the apps continues i mean i can't copy apks download from my pc to my phone with a modified rom, the phone doesn't detected them.
for example i tried to download and put in my phone some apk who play store deleted for obvious reasons it is droidsheep XD
however i can download and install apks who are in play store , it is strange...
thanks for your reply ^^
Did you turn on unknown sources in Settings>Security settings ? This allows you to install apps which are not from the play store...
If this is not the issue, you should check google settings( the grey cog with a g in it ), google got this feature which blocks apps, there should be a function in these settings which stops checking your apps that you install.

okey , i will check the google settings , anyway i am sick of this rom ... some apps like google play are continually restart
and a few days later I have noticed that the apks who i want to install from the google play (when it's installed ) restart the phone
that rom have some bugs...
thanks for the reply , but i will not continue with this rom , i make another post asking how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s , i don't find anything for this phone in google ...
thanks a lot ^^
Allright, well the problem could lie in your gapps, a corupt google play service can cause alot of trouble and Force Closes on your phone, also when you installed yothe mod, did you wipe everything? (Dalvik cache, Data, cache ...) Don't have the phone so can't test anything, might do some research tho
good luck further!

yes , about the custom rom i wipe everything so i think that was a fault from the chef T_T
pd: do you know how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s ?
thanks for your reply again :fingers-crossed:
Well I don't really understand what you mean, but the thing I understand out of it is that you want to go back to a stock Firmware or Rom?
I'd recommend backing everything up firstly (don't forget all your contacts!) .
Then go into recovery and do a factory reset / or Data, Dalvik cache & cache Wipe... (system should be wiped for modified stuff like battery improvements, added scripts, etc. ...)
& that's it for going back to your stock rom.
If you want to go back to stock firmware you should search what type of phone you have (the nickname , single sim or dual sim , all this) and look for stock firmware (.ftf Files)
To get this flashed on your phone you gotta use a flash tool and a computer.
For further information you should read some tutorials on how to flash firmware.

i was talking about the firmware , but i called it oficial rom sorry xD
in a spanish foro called htcmania the moderator told me: You can only install an equal or higher version .
the rom has a version 2.3.7 and the firmware that i would like to install has a 2.3.5 version
anyway, there was a tutorial who explain how downgrade the version of the rom?
thanks ^^
Well you can downgrade, if it is availble for your phone... Better so some more research regarding your phone and just try it.
