Hi,
I know there are a lot of guides out there but you still might want to read it
What are the different things I need to know ?
Well you will hear three terms very often. Baseband, Kernel and the ROM. Lets see what they are.
Baseband :
A firmware to drive the radio (2G/3G) chipset in your phone. Most of the time you don't need to bother thinking about it. But you might need to upgrade this firmware in order to get optimum performance. Just think of it as something you won't need to apply unless explicitly specified. For you xperia neo v, you can find out the baseband version by going into phone info and looking up baseband version number. I have not flashed any baseband. I recommend if you have not rooted/flashed your phone, install the official sony update you'll get the latest baseband without any troubles, this is what I did. Although if you need to flash it, there are very many tutorials available on this forum. You can check out the flashtool androxyde . github . com / Flashtool (sorry for the spaces in the links. I can't post outside links because of some forum rules which don't make any sense whatsoever)
Kernel:
This is the Linux (android) kernel image that drives all the hardware. Always install (flash) the recommended kernel for any ROM. Installing kernel and ROM is an absolute must.
ROM:
This is the actual thing you see running on your phone. It consists of the modified android source, user interface tweaks, the apps and some under the hood modifications done by the ROM developer for ex. cyanogenmod.
Now lets setup you linux (ubuntu) install fo installing a custom ROM on your phone.
Follow this wiki : wiki. cyanogenmod. com / wiki / Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Don't forget to setup Udev by making a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules with contents as
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
now restart your udev daemon by running "sudo restart udev".
Now yo have the necessary kernel and ROM flashing tools at your disposal. I am going to tell you how to achieve a fast and very battery efficient cyanogenmod install.
1) Download CM9 ROM and gapps(for google apps) from here
ROM: download. cyanogenmod. com /get / jenkins/4630/cm-9.0.0-RC2-haida.zip
Gapps: cmw. 22aaf3. com/gapps /gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
Copy these two zips to your phone's sd card.
2) Download night elf's kernel for cyanogenmod 9 from here mediafire. com /?nm7g0zid8aazfl1
3) Follow this guide wiki. cyanogenmod. com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Neo:_Full_Update_Guide
But instead of flashing the kernel inside the zip, flash the night elf's kernel (just provide the path to night elf's kernel instead of the ROM's boot.img).
4) As told in the link given in above step flash both the zips. Before flashing you may also clear the Dalvik cache by going into advanced options in the recovery menu.
5) Reboot your phone. Don't turn off the GPS !!! There is a bug in CM9 RC2 which results in substantial hit on battery life. Just let it be. Anyways the GPS antenna is turned off unless any application is using it.
I am having approx more than two days of battery life with light/moderate usage (No data connection, occasional wifi).
CM9 may not be the best looking ROM. But I can assure you nothing beats it in the performance and the default setup (its very sane !!! No need to change anything at all). Also I only trust cyanogen community with all my very personal information (its my phone, it has everything !! ). If you need eye candy more and are comfortable with taking privacy risks, you may try MIUI and the dozens more ROM in the thread. I am not trying to offend anyone, its just my opinion, feel free to call me paranoid.
Always keep in mind that there are no stupid questions only stupid answers Ask away !!
I wish you a free and serene future.
I am however more interested in using the source code provided by Sony with AOSP and compiling the system image by myself.
I know how to compile AOSP, but the files provided by Sony doesn't seem to contain the `device` directory.
Also is it possible to use the AOSP and compile a ROM that is exactly the same as the stock ROM?
I haven't done any reading or experimentation on the subject but as far as I know, Sony only provides the stock kernal sources, some hardware support libraries (not all for ex HDMI, xLOUD still not provided). You can compile the kernel from Sony sources. Android image and apps are not provided by sony. All the ROM makers who are releasing ROMs based on stock are modifying the stock ROM image to do it.
For compiling your own ROM, you will have to do it form AOSP or cyanogenmod (FXP) sources.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS
We'll not support users and answer questions from users which:
- are running a custom kernel

Dear All
Ever heard or read of/about PDroid? Ever thought about securing your data, addresses, locations and SIM information from being (mis-) used by downloaded apps, games and other things?
Time to read about...
PDroid is a ROM-hooked privacy protection of your personal information & data. It let's you set per-app access rights to your private informations. No more hidden address ore phone-book misuse or GPS-based advertisement "enhancement".
Read more about PDroid/OpenPDroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098156
What is this thread about?
This shall be a pure SERVICE thread to all users and friends of Android that care about their privacy.
We (users & friends of xda-developers, PDroid & AutoPatcher) help you patching your ROM so that you can use your apps and games under privacy protection.
Patching these ROMs provides some hurdles and hooks - some of us are very experienced and built & installed an environment to enable "simple patching". Many users stand back from this effort and have few experience with command-based or GUI-based patching - these are the addressees that we want to enable to have ALSO privacy protection on their tablets and smartphones.
Especially when you're not a very frequent "ROM-hopper"
What IS this service?
You drop us a link & we patch & upload this patch - that's it.
Please grant us some time, the response time depends on the supporters - and they all spend their free time for this.
(Please thank the helpers and providers by hitting the Thanks button!) ... maybe also rating the thread?
How to USE the service?
You install your ROM and post us the download link. You'll get back an upload with the patch. Usually you can simply flash it to your device, you should not have any problem, installing it "over" your installation. Even no data loss.
To set the rights for each app and get a warning if rights are changed, install "PDroid Manager" from App Store and launch it.
Nevertheless - make sure to have a backup
- of your (unpatched) ROM install
- of your data & installation
before your first trial.
Further Information:
OpenPDroid / PDroid information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098156
PDroid Manager - the access rights managing software: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.digitalfeed.pdroidalternative
AutoPatcher - the tool if you also want to start patching...: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719408
We'll elaborate this thread and post more and more and add links and further information - subscribe it to get familiar with PDroid!
One last notice: these patches do NOT induct any backdoor, trojan nor any other virus ar any advertisement to your device - rather enable you to set rights to achieve the opposite.
Special thanks to all contributors here, to the PDroid and OpenPDroid Team and especially to mateorod and his AutoPatcher's team.
With kind regards from Switzerland - Chris

How to install / proceed with my patch?
Flashing ROMs or ROM updates is unfortunately quite device-dependent.
Please make sure you have a copy of your flashed (unpatched) ROM to restore
Please make sure you backed up all of your data
A GENERIC guidance could be the following steps: How to update your installation to the PDroid-enabled one:
Download [yourROM] (unpatched version)
Download the attached patch-update from the appropriate post - the answer of one of the "helpers" (hit THANKS! )
Put both on your SD-Card
Enter Recovery of your device
(If not yet installed) Install (ZIP from SD-Card) the full fletched non-patched [yourROM] (usually no need to re-boot after that, simply go on with...)
Make sure you installed the appropriate GApps
Install (ZIP from SD-Card) the patched update from this thread's answer post "over it"
IF you changed a major Android version (e.g. 4.2.2 -> 4.3), perform a full wipe
Reboot the device
Go to Play Store and download "PDroid Manager" and start it to configure your privacy settings per every single App - You're done.
After you set up the permissions, you don't need the Android's (very limited; since 4.2.2) privacy protection anymore - deactivate it

Nice idea, hopefully it'll get approved and added to the development threads op.
I might join in by writing a short explanation about VM's and how to use the patcher there (since I was doing it this way until a few weeks back, where I got (nearly) rid of win)
Being on Linux actually makes the whole thing a hell of a lot easier.
Cheers!

THANKS, IRKONIK!
You know, PDroid is a great service protecting us, the work of the developers is great - including mateorod and others who're working all day and night, as it seems.
And if we can, we should try to make this protection available also (and especially!?) to all non- or semi-enthousiastic users that do not neededly flash ROMs frequently..
Thanks for your support - highly appreciated!

hi mateorod,
i cant post to that thread to. there doesn't seem to be a link to the right source.
but with v3.1.78 the patch has worked.
i try to contact bangsti and ask for the source, maybe it is helpful for the future.

got the information from bangsti:
Is the CM10.2 Source and crdroid Source.

Well, I said it, so here it is (yeah, I deliver )
How to use the Auto-Patcher on Linux (debian based (!!)) in a virtual machine.
This "tutorial" does not take you by your hand. No, I DEMAND :silly: that you do stuff by yourself. It helps you! (Trust me. The easy way is not always the best)
First of all: You need a virtual machine with your favorite distro. (I like Mint Cinnamon)
How this step works? Well, google/youtube it. There is so much info about it, there is no need in writing another tutorial. Especially when other people have done it waaaay better
So, you have linux running. What now?
Second step: Getting all the stuff the patcher relies on.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install git git-core cpio patch unzip tar openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre
Third step: Getting all the files from github and build the patcher
Code:
git clone https://github.com/mateor/auto-patcher
Code:
cd auto-patcher
Code:
./batch.sh
Fourth step: Copy the rom you want to have patched into the auto-patcher folder.
Code:
./auto_patcher rom.zip
!! With this method, the patcher will use the rom detector and will build OpenPDroid patches. If you DO NOT want them, read the first page of the dev-thread. !!
Fifth step: Getting the files "out of" the VM.
- Easy way: Upload it into the/your cloud.
- Nearly as easy way: Use some filehost. (Since the files are about 6MB big, it's not even a hassle). Fast filehost: zippyshare
When your files finished the uploading, just use the link to the file in a qr-code generator, scan it with your device and download it. Easy!
Sixth step: BEFORE you flash the file, check the md5sum (in the VM and on your device!) how-to
If they match, you are good to go. Don't forget to make a nandroid backup! It's not needed, but hey, better safe than sorry!
I hope this helps If something is missing, tell me!
Cheers! :highfive:
PS: Due to lack of time, this "tutorial" is as short as possible and might lack a few explanations. (Hopefully not steps)
PPS: The only "tip" I have: use the tab-key for auto-complete So instead of writing "auto-patcher" just type "au" and then press tab. Saves you lots of time.
Edit1: Props to Mateorod and everybody over at the dev thread!

Firstly, A very Good day to all the awesome people at XDA and my fellow SGS2 users !
To begin with, I am completely new to this scene, so please bear my lack of know-how.
I have a SGS2 GT i9100 and after years of running the stock JB 4.1.2, I have decided to install the new KitKat ROM 4.4.2. So after days of researching I am considering the use of CyanogenMod installer to install the new ROM, since it seems like a safe and stable bet and Philz-CWM as recovery ( Thanks to @Vivek_Neel 's advice ) - Is this a reliable method to move ahead with ?
Also, just to clarify the order doing things - Flash Philz-CWM ( v 6.25.0 ) >>> Then run CM Installer or is it the other way round
Before I do anything, however, I have some doubts which I am hoping to get clarified :-
1) [Regarding CyanogenMod Installer] - Off the many DIY's that I came across regarding installing the new KitKat ROM, almost everyone seems to mention downloading the Main ROM file and Google Apps file and transferring it to the phone before starting.
So If use the CM Installer, do I too need to download and transfer to my phone - the Google Apps and/or any other ancillary files ( if so, which ones ) or will the Installer do it by default ?
2) According to the CM wiki, CM Installer will install a "stable snapshot build unique to the installer. These are stable builds designed to provide all core features and functionality of the device." - What does this mean in layman English ? Also all the guides for installing the KitKat ROM are using "Nightlies" - So which one should I use - What's the difference ?! And will the CM Installer install KitKat 4.4.2 ?
3) Just to clarify, after installing the Custom ROM, will I be able to download and use apps as I was doing when I was using the stock JB 4.1.2 ?
Once again, please bear with my rookie-ness and I look forward to your answers.
Cheers !

now rom uploaded on MediaFire https://www.mediafire.com/folder/8bkeoa0xfxaz5/CM-11.0
please someone mirror it on mega.com
Is this a fork of the grand duos cm11? Can you recommend another phone dialler compatible with CM?
Already experienced 2 crashes of the default browser when trying to zoom pages. I had to remove battery on those 2 occasions.
My setup is the latest build with micro gapps ....
Thank you OP! I was beginning to give up hope of us getting a true custom ROM.
Installed via TRWP. Excellent!
Crashed a few times with Google Now launcher and default browser. Installed Nova launcher and now working smoothly. You need to do a full wipe before installing otherwise it will keep crashing.
Thanks again GHsR! I am flying!!
Excellent work dev...
But I have 2 doubts. Please clear it
1) I have galaxy mega 5.8 with rooted 4.2.2 Jellybean rom. After installing this rom is it possible to revert back to 4.2.2 if needed?
2) In the link provided there are 2 files.
For installing the latest version do I need to install the old version first (20141017) and update with new one (20141020) or can I directly flash the 20141020 version?
My set up was similar to yours.
1. I backed up my old ROM using TWRP Recovery onto my external SD card; this way it can be easily restored should you wish to.
2. I directly flashed the new one without flashing the old one first.

I got 13398 Antutu score on this rom which is almost the same as the stock rom. Anyone got a higher score?
Is this ROM odexed or deodexed?

Which version of TWRP are you using?
I am still on TWRP 2.6.3.Always worked for me so reluctant to upgrade!
I have to state that I am new to Cyanogenmod. Since this is unofficial then whenever I try to install another theme paly store says that the phone is unsupported. Any work around or trick to overcome this?

Well, not sure why, but themes are working great for me, maybe try downloading OTHER themes, as not all themes might support this device

I go to the play store and it is stated that the cyanogen mod theme is incompatible with all my registered devices. Even the free ones cannot be installed. So how did you do it?
found another problem....The contacts that are already stored on both sims cannot be read by CM 11. I can confirm that the contacts are still there as I already transferred the sims to another phone.
Does USB OTG supports on this rom?
If anyone know any kernel patch for enabling usb otg support please post the link here....

But I heard that using external power supply and necessory kernel patch otg support can be enabled atleast partially. I don't know whether it is true or not.
