Need Help to Flash a Custom ROM .. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

hi ..
i have XPERIA NEO with stock kernel and rom .62 ...
i want to flash a stable , fast , supporting arabic custom rom ... as i've searched and read in this forum i think the most suitable rom for me is MIUI (please correct if am wrong , coz am newbie ) ..
the problem now ,, i dont want do anything withoug backing up the stock kernel and rom ,, and to backup i need CWM , to have CWM need root , to root i need to downgrade to .42 what means flashing the current firmware without backup ! (right ?!) ..
so,
1-is there anyway to backup my stock rom ? (coz it supports arabic , and to restore it in case i have any problem in flashing other roms ) ?
2-does downgrade from .62 to .42 means flashing a new fw and every thing in the phone will be erased ?
3-is it mandotary to unlock bootloader if i want to flash MIUI for example (although i dont know whether my phone's bootloader is locked or not !! how to know if there is a way ?)
4-what does the backup option in CWM backup exactly ? kernet + rom + installed app ?
5-which rom u suggest : Stable , good battery , Arabic support.
sorry if too many questions but really need help , coz the current custom rom sometimes have problems , like, sometimes the screen stays on with battery drain and overheat !
thanx in advance..

You will get all the answers reading the threads around, really no need to open a thread for your own questions. Happy search!

answer as many questions you can .. This will help me a lot :good:
1 : Right now i have GB 2.3.3 rooted , with stock JB will be even faster i guess right? If yes I would like to know what's the best ROM'S to use I want fast Phone , with good UI and multi window if possible?
2 : I would need costum Kernel too ? its dangerus to stay at official kernel and flash Rom's for test? If other kernel is needed , Suggest me the most balanced and SAFE from brick ! IMPORTANT !
3 : I used a program called eMMC check and show me Brick Bug : NO. sane chip , so i guess Im 100% safe from unwanted brick ****s? ( If i do everything fine ) XD
4 : Any suggests about the procces? Many of you have done this lot of times , so you have tricks that will help you for a safe root / install of rom /kernel
5 : Any way of backup the correct rom in case of fail? I tryed CMW recovery and this **** show me an error when starting the procces of backup haha I read on forum this happens because of stock ROM and Kernal , So i will not need backup , in case of fail , i will just download the files from samobile >odin > and done right?
6 : in any case ! My phone will work on my carrier right? i will need any edit / mod to work on gsm networks etc?
I think this is all i will need , the problem is I searched a lot.. on google too , but there are soooo many opinions , sooo many posts that make me crazy ! I cant choose the best because simple I have not the exp to do that ! Thats why i will need you guys
Thank you a lot in advance ! :laugh:

1. Against forum rules to answer this. Read the sticky.
JB is not necessarly faster, it depends on how you use your device. Yes the software is an improvement in some cases but, as said, doesn't mean that it's faster.
2. You can root with custom kernel, and if you flash a rom they always come with a kernel. JB kernles are free from brickbug, the only vulnerable version was 4.0.4.
3. Read 2
4. Rooting process? C'mon there are thousands of root guides all over the internet (especially XDA).. if we spoonfeed you the appropriate information, you wont learn much. So go search for a guide yourself, they all fit for different people.. and one of them will fit for you
5. CWM is the best way to backup, it literally backups everything. Yes, it will work much much better on custom kernels.
6. Yes your phone will work on your carrier even if you install custom roms.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! I feel more ready about modding my phone now thanks to you ! For now i dont have other questions !
forgot to ask ! how may i install multiwindow? I know i will need jelly bean , but what exacly version? and how i can find the needed scripts? thanks again !
Multi window isn't officially available on the S2.....there is at least one custom ROM which offers this, but you'll have to research it.....
Hint....look for the sticky thread for a list of ROMs and scroll to stock or Sammy based and you'll find it at the beginning of the alphabet lol......

[Q] from stock to costume

Hello , recently i had trouble with network , and thanks god now it's okey on stock rom 4.3 , i want to ask whether i flash my I9300 to an costume like neatrom for exemple , will i have those trouble again ? and Thanks for answering , ( sorry for bad english )
You can and you should go for custom ROMs because they are better from stock one!
But while doing so make sure that you follow the instructions in the developer's main page mainly have a complete factory reset and format your device with each time you flash any custom ROM!
Also make sure that it supports your device or not!
Press thanks if it helped you
