Hi Everyone,
I have rooted my neo v using DoomLord's Easy rooting toolkit
and install and backup using CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6 from here
Can any one suggest good custom roms available for my Neo V with all working features (Wifi, Fm Radio, etc).
Preferrably ICS or else old Gingerbeard
You need an unlocked bootloader for majority of the ROMS
I suggest you use SE NEO TWEAKED

OMG, is it really that hard to use brain and search field?
Look at the first post in this forum
sometimes, noobs don't know what to search..
here's something for you..
there's still no good/stable JB rom, but there are several ICS ROMs that is good.. just go check some thread there with [ROM] tagged. learn to read.
instructions are included. just read, search on google or XDA for if you have questions or problems, or ask a friend of yours in who know.. so, make as much as you can in this forum.
Modifying your Ray will Void your warranty., if your Phone was bricked or dead, there are always a solution for that. the more you visit in this forum, the more things you will learn.
first, you need to ROot your phone. (use Doomlord's method, search for it)
and also, to change kernel, you need to Unlock Bootloader,.
Whether "noobs" know what to search they should be capable of reading, if they did they would see there is a Q & A topic.
Hey guys,
I've bought a SE Xperia Mini Pro a week ago, and I've been thinking on installing a Custom ROM. Is it worth it? I mean, I'll lose the device's warranty... Can you guys give me a complete guide to do this? I want to install CM10, I think it's the best...
After installing the Custom ROM, is there a way to "recover" the warranty? If I need to repair something on the phone, can I put the Xperia on it's original state? Stock ROM, without ClockworkMod Recovery...
Help me please, I've already install some CRoms in Samsung, HTC and LG, but I've never did something like this on a SE.
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.

Installing custom rom usually will need a custom kernel,installing custom kernel need an unlocked bootloader,and when you unlock your bootloader,your DRM keys and the warranty will gone,and there are no ways to recover back since you list DRM keys and modified the phone (which have been stated that modifying the device will void the warranty)
Well,it should be no problem for you since you have done something like that before...but,you should responsible yourself if your device broke when in the process of unlock bootloader,installing custom kernel/rom..just remember : If your device are in bootloop/won't start,try to give it a try by flashing stock ftf file using Flash Tool
EDIT : I'm a former member of this community,don't worry

Warranty isn't lost if you use custom roms which can run on stock kernel thus locked bootloader(there are several with this feat, cm10 is not one of them unfortunately)
If it's worth it it's up to you, what you're looking for from your phone and what roms have to offer.
There are several ways of unlocking bootloader and some keep drm keys thus not loosing warranty, do some reading in the faq at the beginning of this thread, ome searching around and then make your choices.
Please read the stickies for help, in my signature there's a how to install custom roms, too

I'm glad that this has a solution, even though I've to pay for it. But it's cheap and it also unlocks the SIM...

If you are talking about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921766 rom then it's already out for lww, all you need to do is add dev files for your device. If you don't know what those are open any rom with aroma (or just the patches for other devices from roms like pacman) and copy those files taken from source for your device to installation zip.
Any other methods to port coz I'm damn confused by lookin at diff methods

Porting isn't easy as it look/ ABC...
And even there are another way,it'll be the same...
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
To be precise, There isn't a "proper way" to port Roms. One method might work and one might not. You have to create your own ways of porting for each kind of Rom by taking the other guides as just a reference. You should be able to interpret logcats and understand the errors while testing a ported Rom. You need to research a lot!!! As the comment above me said porting is not easy! Read read read research research research debug debug debug and at last you may see the wonderful moment of your ported Ron's boot animation! (after that you might still have errors though)

According to this forum you have failed, a lot of over caffeinated teenagers with too much time on zheir hands, and basment dwellers will repeatedly tell you to search and read before posting.
Let me put it this way - search, google, wiki, ask friends to help you. You're ****ed. Searching for correct Kernel and ROM is hard as **** beacuse if you misunderstood something say goodbye to your device.
As one experienced user on this forum said - we are developers this not a spoonfeeding site.
I could see that guys boner while he wrote that ****. Google your questions, here you will not find the droids you are looking for.

Sony site has an excellent guide. I was/am noob and it was easy to follow.
I found sony's guide quite confusing as they don't guide about the Android SDK.
This is much easier http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Ray:_Full_Update_Guide

It is unbelievable how can you be too lazy to look for these info in RAY thread.
all information ( also for noob ) u can find in RAY thread, you just have to read
For google now you don't have to unlock the bootloader and you probably don't want to give your grandma a phone that isn't working perfectly, so you probably want to stay with ICS and most preferably a stock based ROM....try this for google now:

I know, right! .. I don't get it because it takes no longer to post the question in the correct place ... I guess it really does boil down to people just not giving a **** about observing rules.
