Can anybody help me on how to dalvik-cache to sd (only) on a rooted stock rom?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk
+1, need it too
Can you give more information about what phone and stock?
It may be a better route to flash a custom ROM and install Darktremor's A2SD+.

Hello guys,
I have the original Xperia Neo and want to manually update it to stock ICS, without unlocking my bootloader to avoid possible bricking in case later OTA updates arrive.
These threads:

that help you root your phone assume you're already on ICS.
Threads that help you update to ICS, assume you're already rooted. I'm confused.
I'm currently running stock and never unlocked or rooted the phone before.
Whats the correct way to update to stock ICS ?
If your neo on GB is not rooted and locked bootloader too, you can safely update via PCC or SEUS.
Also you don't need root initially to flash an ftf using flashtool. That is the only way to "manually" update any SE Phone.
But if it is rooted, flash an ftf file of 4.0.3 firmware. 562 using flashtool.( you will lose all your data. Also search on how to flash ICS firmware using flashtool.) , root it if you want to and proceed to OTA to 4.0.4 firmware. 431.
If you dont wish to root it, directly flash. 431 ftf. To update manually.

Not really, there are .ftf files in first post so you can manually install ICS with flashtool.
U dn't need to root for manually updating via flashtool !!

and then flash it only ? that's it?
the file is common to all Xperia Neo phones (regions) ?
Yeah. Only flash the proper ftf file. Also, if you want region specific, use Seus. there is hardly any difference in regions though.

Don't ever upgrade to ics. Your neo will become very laggy and most of the time applications will force stopped plus overheating and drains battery faster. I have experienced it.

Yeah. That's when you're a noob and you don't know how to optimize it and remove bloat.

Ok then how would you optimize your phone with ics

Root. And install supercharger. It is an all in one solution. Also if you do a bit of searching, you'll find fixes. Eg. Stock dialer lag fix by mpkiep in the Neo themes section.
And most of all unlock your boot loader and use another kernel. Also if you don't want to unlock, use a script to enable more governers for a kernel. Use those. On demand is not recommended for optimum performance.

Hi
Tried a quick search but got overwhelmed with the info
I've had my gs2 since launch and I rooted it and run check checkrom v6 at the moment. I want to upgrade to ics but unsure which way to go as there is a lot of conflicting info
Any advice would be appreciated

Do you want stock ICS or a custom rom ?

You just need to decide if you want a stock or a custom ROM.
As your running checkrom you're obviously not a stranger to flashing ROMs so just do a bit of research into some and flash.
Make a back using clockwork mod and if you want to go back to your old set up you can
A few custom ROMs to try are:
Ressurection Remix
Slim ICS
Elite Rom
Cyanogenmod 9
Will probably try cyanogenmod.
Is it pretty much just flash through cmw as before?
sent from my fat little fingers
I would suggest rootbox. There is an ICS version and a JB, which is actually really stable
Thanks for the reply
This is where I got confused lol so is root box the new cwm? Or do I use cmw to flash root box then use root box to flash an ics rom?
I'm getting to old for all this

Rootbox is an version of ICS. You use cwm to flash Rootbox (an ics rom)

Get neatrom, you'll be happy you did

I would recommend flashing a stock ICS ROM first and from there on flashing the ROM you actually want.

Yes, that is all it is about. Make a nandroid backup first. Then wipe it clean, cache and data, and then flash whatever ROM you choose.
I can relate to your problem, s2 seriously has a lot of ROMs so try them and stick with that which YOU like personally. If you want you can try CM9 only first or any other. Just go to that ROM's thread and they mention how to flash in the OP.

Why? There's so many people like this on xda who say this, but when I asked the Devs, its not even necessary or doesn't help.
I never ever flashed an ics rom and I went straight from stock gb to custom ics without a problem.

Mmm I've never heard this or done it. I've always completed full wipe (cache dalvik and factory) followed by format system and never had a problem

No, the other guy was talking about the ROM, not the wiping. But some roms like neatrom needs no wipe
Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk 2
Is there any consequence to try to return to ICS (or stock) after flashing a JB test rom (or custom)?
no. but full wipe necessary of course
Odin and 3 files from samsung.
Don't even need to wipe if your restoring a backup

Flash a stock Rom and do a data wipe in stock recovery.. then your good to go..
If you don't do this WiFi might not work on cyangenmod Rom's.

I just went back to ICS after testing JB for a month and the biggest consequence is the overwhelming need to have a fully stable version of JB. lol
Ok guys,
Thank you all.
Which method is best for installing cyanogenmod?
I mean, if i want cm9...
From GB to CM9 or from GB to ICS to CM9?
Which is i have to install stock ics before can upgrade to cyanogenmod...
Yes its sound like the same but little bit different...
If from GB can stright install CM9, i have CM9 custom bootloader...
If from stock ICS i have stock ICS bootloader then upgrade to CM...
I'm looking for the best method for my batterylife, i dunno if from GB maybe can save my batt more then from stock ICS to CM9...

First two things you need to read about it nandroid bkup and efs bkup. Then think about flashing things.
Forgot to tell that, just skip that backup thing as i know how to do it, just want to know which is good for upgrading...
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
Alot say that GB is better than ics or jb for battery but it's really up to you to test for yourself and find out. I will say that if you move to cm/aokp your battery will not be as good as with stock. So with that said flash jb as I think this is better than any with Odin. Just do stay away from ics 4.0.4 as this firmware has brick bug.
Also to install cm9 from GB flash it from cwm recovery
4.0.4 i get only with cyanogenmod, stock rom ics for my country Malaysia only up to 4.0.3...
Do u think jb is better? Or cm10? I'm still not upgrade to jb coz of external sd will be sdcard/enternal_sd, i use cm9 coz i like the way my external sd be a primary storage
