I've just upgraded my Xperia Mini to ICS, and also rooted it, thanks to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
And it worked, but now I realized that all of the phone menus are becoming slow. Apps work perfectly and normally, but some phone menus (out of the apps) aren't as smooth as they should. Also, the games I recovered using Titanium Backup work slow either, some of them don't even work...
So I wondered, why is that? what should I do now or what did I do wrong? Help will be really appreciated, thanks
well ics is a little slower than gb and also gb is much better than ics in playing games and performance

umm fine, actually I didn't know that...
But the weird thing is that, before trying to root ICS, I installed normally (without root) just to see what it was, and then it worked properly, I mean, fluid and smooth in every aspect. It became slow and even laggy after I rooted it. So I don't understand exactly what happened.

Thanks piousheart & singgih4050. I just had to follow that tutorial all over again... I did a factory reset but root disappeared, so I had to re-flash the Rom. Thanks anyway

How could it be? Losing the root? I didn't Lose my Root when doing Factory Reset?
Did you Use the Script Inject Method? You can Factory Reset your Phone after you Inject Script 2

Why not unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel based on stock, that has cwm and prerooted already in kernel. then you can factory reset as much as you like and wont lose root. And you probably lost root because you factory reset and that would delete superuser.apk so all you had to do was redownload that from the market and you would have root again. But anyway think about unlocking your bootloader but read up about it first.

I don't know, maybe root wasn't correctly installed. I re-flashed my phone and now it isn't slow at all. Actually all I know is that it now works as it should :d

Believe me... I would LOVE to unlock my bootloader, but my phone's bootloader status says "no". And as far as I know, that means that I have to pay to unlock it, or am I wrong? It's just that right now I can't pay for that.

The Gsm/WCDMA data is really buggy on my phone.I switched 2-3 roms but it didn't solve the problem.
So i assume it is a hardware problem & thinking of taking it to the SE service centre.But my phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked using s1 tool.
So should i unroot it and relock the bootloader before giving it for servicing as i still have the warranty..
If yes.. Then how to unroot?
do a repair software with pc companion(that way you will remove root), and get clean stock rom.
after that check if you still have problems with signal, with clean rom.
if you still have problems, take it to servce center but before, relock it with s1tool, use restore button.
anw, what problems do you have?

Don't have any links with deep explanation.
Firmware and ROM are pretty much same things. Actually some people use firmware as name for stock ROM, meaning default OS which came from Sony Ericsson. While ROM is occasionally used as custom ROM, meaning someone changed few things.
Baseband, well to put it simple, the way people use it here(it's not same but not to far from original definition of baseband, as it's connected to signal), it's part of firmware which is responsible for your signal.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The data was not at all working... When i reboot the phone sometimes it works but most of the times it doesn't.... It was like a 1 in 100 chance of working...But after flashing .42 it seems to have solved the problem.
And does baseband have anything to do with the data as u have said it is responsible for the signal?
Well it could have something with signal. But I doubt that it would manifest like in your case. At least I hear it first time.
Actually, now when I read this thread again , you only said you had problems on custom ROM's? And since you are now ok on clean .42fw, which means your phone is ok. Problems are in those custom ROM's.
Now custom ROM's flash only system partition, at least the one I seen.
I'm not sure where is baseband is flashed, but I don't think custom ROM's touch it. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
What custom ROM's have you tried?

Actually i have again flashed NeoV_emann's rom and everything is well..
I had tried Se Tweaked,Aniking,NeoV_emman and the data suddenly stopped working..But i think i was on the .42 firmware and the last time i checked it was .62 firmware... So i assume that only the firmware had changed but not the baseband which could have causing the data problems
Hi!
This summer I'm getting my first Android phone (Xperia S), and I have some questions about rooting. I would post this in the Development section, but I don't have 10 posts.
Since I'm a power user, I want to root my phone, but since I never had a smart phone, I'm not that familiar with the rooting process. I know what bootloader and rooting itself is, but when I'm reading the guides, I'm not completely familiar with all the terms and whatnot.
I only want to root my phone, without using any special roms or anything. Should I keep my bootloader locked or should I unlock it? Does this affect the updates in any way? If I unlock the bootloader, will I still be able to update the phone or will I need to relock it?
Will I need to reroot the phone after each firmware update?
If you have any additional hints or information, I would be glad to read it.
Regards,
Klemen
The main benefit of rooting your phone is you can install any software you want, some apps need root permission, you can also customize UI, tweak performance, making a better battery life, etc.
on this device, you can relock it. If you doubt about your warranty, you can use the rooting with locked bootloader method. but you still need to relock if you want to claim your warranty in some cases. I hope you will not.
my advice is just use to your phone first, you enjoy with keyboard, texting, surfing on google play, bla bla bla. You will find the answer why you want to root or not.
I already know that I want to root my phone, the main reason is to get rid of the ads.
I'm just not sure, which is the preferred method of rooting it. I'm curious what's going to happen to future updates if I root the phone (some say, that every firmware unroots the phone).

I've numbered your questions in the quote, and made them bold for easier explanation.
1. Considering your last post (you want mostly to remove ads), I would recommend keeping it locked. For rooting it and installing CWM Recovery (I can try to explain what this is, if you don't know), you can follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742992
2. As said by XGAdev, you must relock your bootloader if you need to send it to warranty or update using either SUS or PC Companion. But you always can use Flashtool for updating. Just download the original firware you want, put it on the right folder and flash it.
3. Well, the answer is on the second one.
Right now, you just want to remove ads. In no time you will be heavily modding it, theming,etc. This also happened to me
If you need anything else, just say it. Press the thanks button if I was helpful enough, and if you want to press it. If not, just say it
My opinion:
Keep the BL locked, so you don't loose the DRM Keys, and follow the Root with BL Locked Guide to obtain Root Acess...
Unless you really want to have a tweaked kernel you wont need to Unlock the BL

Hello everyone.
I tried rooting my Xperia ray today using this guide: http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty/
Bear with me, you might find all of this tedious to read. My phone came with GB 2.3.4 build .62 which is hard to root. So as the above guide directed, I downloaded a .42 build firmware, CE(Central Europe perhaps? I don't know) and tried to flash it using flashtool. I disconnected the phone from the PC in between. My phone wouldn't boot. Then I used SUS and updated it to ICS, making the phone work. I then flashed it to GB .42 patiently, and with success. Alas, problems started immediately. Many processes such as media, calender storage, acro etc came up as stopped working. Even after selecting force close they would keep appearing. I cleared the respective cache/data and the notifications stopped. Then I rooted it using Doomlord's toolkit, and updated to .62 via OTA, keeping my root. A few things have changed. The keyboard name is the same, International keyboard, but it is different and I don't like it. Camera is not working. Screen goes blank if I open the camera. Messaging does not work and the messaging app crashes as soon as I open it. No contacts are found, despite importing them again. (They all show up when using the import from SIM option, it says importing is done but they are nowhere to be found). I called someone manually. While calling his name shows up but my contacts is completely blank. Google search is not working and it crashes too. There might be other problems, but I haven't checked. Anything in particular to check? Please help me solve all these issues. I'm glad my phone is rooted now, but it's next to useless due to all this. Please help me.
Great. Even the screen unlock security seems to not work. No slide to unlock. No pattern unlock even though I saved a pattern. I press the power button, the phone just shows the home. No security. How do I fix all this? PC Companion? SUS? And I don't want ICS so I won't use them if that's what they're going to update my phone to rather than fix it.
Do a complete wipe data/factory reset or flash .42 again, if this won't work take it to a service center cause it's a hardware issue

No problem, hope it's going well now :good:
1. Overclocking can destroy your phone/phone's hardware. I've never overclocked and I wouldn't do it...
2. DRM are not important and trackid should work with the latest version. Not sure about timescape, maybe with an updated version it works
3. You can just keep your warranty by unlocking with testpoint method. Here is a great tutorial and sony won't notice it, only when your phone is bricked up
But testpoint is just working until a specific build number of the hardware, it should be mentioned somewhere in the thread!

Android 4.2.1? Oh just saw your sig you have CM 10.1. I've heard that Android 4.0 and above versions don't work well on 2011 Xperia devices.
How's it running? Is it better than the stock GB ROM? How's the gaming performance? If that's fine, I might install the ROM in the near future. Also, do you use Chainfire 3D? V6 Supercharger? Any other apps that enhance performance? Sorry for asking so many questions

I think you have gotten a lot of good advice from Mihahn and I just wanted to add some suggestions before you unlock your bootloader...you probably want to get comfortable working with CWM Recovery. It has been a while since I did this on GB but there are a bunch of tools that you can use to put recovery onto GB stock roms and a good place to start is this thread in Ray Dev: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426912
Also before you decide you just gotta have a certain ROM, take a good look at the OP for the ROM....there may be something not working correctly that would be a deal breaker for you....there are some features that only work properly on a stock based ROM. This is particularly true of the Jelly Bean 4.2 build for the Ray....the 4.1 ROMs are working pretty good.....but if you absolutely love the sony camera app then you have to stay on a stock ROM.
Have fun!
Hi all,
I have an xu and I've been wondering.. am I the only one who suffers from a slow working device?
It was actually working great until the new ics build update (6.1.1.B.1.54). I'm really a newbie so i don't think i shud mess up with my phone but i obviously considered wiping it since i hav many apps installed. I failed to root it (after many tries) with the new version so I have extra apps that i cant even delete, some of them working in the background. And that's why, i believe, my phone isnt working as smooth as before.
It's really giving me a hard time doing simple actions such as phone calls or chatting in whatsapp(i entered the "Apps->running" in Settings and it showed that i have 10mb of free ram) ... many things as basic as these take too much time and its kind of annoying. Is there a way to make my device faster w/o wiping my data? is my problem really caused by the firmware?
I hope u can answer my questions, and when u answer please take into account the fact that i don't know much
thx in advance!
(P.S. i bought my phone about 8 months ago - it's not old or something.)
I doubt you use all of the apps. Uninstall those you don't use.

Please explain a little further .... you tried rooting the b.54 firmware directly using Flashtool ? If so , it's not gonna work ..... you need to flash the stock b.10 kernel first , Root your phone with that kernel , let it boot up,then reflash the stock .54 kernel =) .... give it a try and post the results ...
@ Toon and Bhargva
I really aprreciate ur ideas and ill consider doing them but wiping my data is my last resort. And i think that if i'll flash anything it'll be the 2.3.7 GB and it will (hopefully) be much smoother.
However, I think that the repair thing might rly help so perhaps ill give it a shot and see if it gets better.
Thx again for giving me these ideas I believe they will suffice if there isn't a way to repair my phone without wiping my data.

Hello, I have a S3 I9300. Came with 4.3 Pre Installed.
Now I have JUST Rooted it and removed some useless apps.
Now my questions is: IF I want to do a factory re set.
A) Would it work?
B) Would it work and go back to Unrooted or stay as Root?
I am looking for a Simple Stable/FAST/Smooth/Stock Like ROM. Any recommendations.

Yes the factory reset will work and after that you will lose your root access, but you can easily gain it again with https://towelroot.com.

Okay, Thank!
I also wanted to ask,
How much RAM do you have now?
and whats your Screen time for your whole battery
I deleted lots of Samsung rubbish and I have much more free RAM, and phone feels slighlty smoothly.

Ditch touchwiz and try a different launcher and it will be even better.
Also be warned asking which roms/kernels are best etc are against the rules.
