Root with flashtool which is in Androxyde's thread in dev section. All the ROMs of each version have similar performance and battery will be more affected by your apps/settings so its all just preference. Flashing a new ROM will wipe out all your apps and data but you can restore a lot. Just read and figure out what you want.

This ROM here. The one in my signature is good too but its not as complete as this one yet. But this will erase data. You can use titanium backup to save apps and its settings which you can get from the market before you flash any roms. Keep posting here if you need help getting a phone ready for flashing.
Rendeiro2005 makes this one I posted.

I know there are tutorials on how to do this stuff, but I don't understand some steps, can someone list the steps like every one of them for me including backup which is really important to me, and also what to do after I flash the rom

Could have asked on whichever tutorial thread you've read, as it would be easier than having to rehash the same thing on a new thread.
Root your phone, install xRecovery, install rom with xRecovery, use rom.
Ya I know that but it doesn't tell me about backing it up and restoring after a flash

Your contacts should be backed up anyway, your apps can be done with Titanium Backup or AppBrain, and anything on your SD is unaffected anyway so you don't need to back it before, but should have one anyway.
Thanks man, one love!! Now imma flash your eminence LOL don't think I'm annoying, I do all this for your themes man.

No worries.
Can someone help me find all the stock apps for my x10? I want to be able to update through sony on pc, but somehow all my stock apps (like timescape and more) disappeared from titanium backup! I don't want to do a recovery install of a stock rom because I don't know how to back up all my current apps in a manner which would prevent me from losing them all if I did so... Can anyone PLEASE help?! Thank you!

For me the best custom rom is TW 009, or custom rom Miui 1.7.22 also.
In the post you can search how install it.
Yep, TW009 is the Best

I'm sort of a noob when it comes to this I have the xperia play with CDMA. Is there anyway to crack the bootloader? If not is there any really great roms to use for it? Also can someone give me a very detailed instruction on how to flash a new rom because I really have no clue what I'm doing. I'm up to the point where I did a nandroid backup I don't know where to go from from there. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

There are many roms available such as cm etc.. Don't worry you'll not brick your device as long as you follow the given instructions..

This.
Also, you should make a backup of your EFS, just in case. It contains very valuable information of your device such as IMEI and other stuff, and it's not recoverable without a proper Backup or Sammy's help in the rare event that it gets screwed. Look for a piece of software called EFS PRO on this forum. I'd like to give you the proper url, but I'm kind of busy in a crappy PC at work.
And make sure you use a i9300 compatible ROM, just wanted to make it clear because I've seen people with variants (like US) trying to flash a i9300 ROM and get it pretty messy.
Stock ROMs are fairly easy for starters.
Good luck!.-
PS: When using ODIN make sure that you don't have Re-Partition selected. I repeat, it must be NOT CHECKED. Or you'll be DOOMED.-
Hi
Why don’t you try with Omega first.
There's a flashing guide in post #4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656
Personal I prefer AOSP ROMs with MIUI.
Good luck
Edit: just make sure you do a nandroid backup. Always good to have a backup to go back to if things don't go as hoped. Have saved me many times.

Does anyone have solutions for "error restore / data" when restore by CWM?
I notice that my backup is quite big. Its more than 3 Gb.

Your backup could be damaged. I had this problem once with my Galaxy S, so I couldn't use my backup and had to install all apps manually...

OK, this has been said a few times, titanium backup is only good to use on the same base rom... Going from ICS to JB rom means there are going to be lots of FC's and other problems... Its like installing a mac os on a windows PC... Not gonna work.... You are trying to force JB to use ICS file structure and it doesn't like it...
