Do full wipes (data/factory reset, cache, in advanced, dalvik cache and battery stats) and then reflash the kernel and reinstall your rom, it should be ok.
Make sure you have backups of the information you really need.

What should i backup?

I don't know In my case the only thing i care about is my contacts, anything else i can configure again, and older txt/sms messages I can do without. You can export the contacts to sd-card, but if you want more, just do a backup in CWM, and after updating your phone, just restore the data from your backup using advanced restore from CWM.
And while you're doing all that, get nAa-12 and MiniCm7-2.2.1

Ok thanks for your help
I will do as you said and reply in this thread

it isn't more easy to synchro your contacts to the google account that you use in your phone.
with every new rom-kernel instalation I always do a backup but at this point I have never need to use it. :/ and after the configuration of the google account my contacts get restored.

how to remove data2sd ?

i used to have a bookmark to a thread about how to remove it. but i seem to have lost it
anyone wanna help me please ?
thanks
Hey man I'm not one hundred percent sure about this but I don't think you can. You probably need to restore an old rom with xrecovery then reflash your current rom without it

Delete or Rename the file "data.img" located in "sdcarcd/xrecovery"
im almost sure there was a way. u have to rename some file on the sdcard i think.
thanks tho. yea i thought about that but dont really feel like it lol
Or just wipe factory data in xrecovery and wipe cache then reflash your current rom but before that make a backup using titanium backup then once you reflash your rom download titanium and press restore missing apps with data and your good to go

Link2SD - Gingerbread Issue

Hey guys, I've a problem with gingerbread. I've created an ext2 partition on my sd card. LINK2SD successfully installs, but when I start the app it asks for partition type and reboots immediately. I never came across this problem with froyo. Please help me out.
Thank You
as far as I know,there is no solution yet,the problem is on ace you can't write the init.rc file yet.
Link2SD works perfectly on Froyo. Hence I'm holding back upgrading to Gingerbread until that's fixed .

For now, I worked around the problem this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14159285&postcount=1317
You must install with Odin a CODE_S5830XXKP modified file (it contains changed init.rc).
You can use DarkTremor App2SD with VillainROM...

Cool, thanks for sharing. However, I wanted to ask if it is ok to upgrade to KPE and also do the above technique without any factory reset or wiping the data and having to reinstall all apps again. I already have Link2SD set up on my KC1.
Also, I dunno much about DarkTremor's A2SD, is it better than Link2SD in any way?

Every time you make a change with Odin, the phone is completely reset and data are lost (with a backup program is not a big problem). This does not happen just by upgrading by Kies.
Hmm, well not really an upgrade but I did reflash my KC1 when I got soft bricked twice, and all my data was intact I believe.

With odin? I do not know... Long ago I have flashed KC1 and recently KPE (two times) and this has always reset the phone memory (I lost applications, settings, etc.). Better for you
Yeah I did with Odin. Reflashed KC1 twice. I just lost certain minor stuff like Speed Dial numbers and all. My Google and other accounts were still there. Also my Messages.

You can use Titanium Backup or MyBackup for backup your apps and data... its easy and fast...
Yeah I have my apps backed up on Titanium. I just didn't want to deal with manually Link2SDing them one by one again.. I dunno if Titanium would restore the linked and non-linked apps as they are now.

I dont know, but try to wipe messaging apk data from titanium.
If didnt help, just flash again, first try to flash again your rom over the top (dont wipe anything), if there is any problem try to wipe anything then flash (fresh install).

You ask all the time it seems... And yes! There is the built in backup app and there is titanium backup.
And dont flash your phone to much... You will get bad sectors... Or brick it.
Read a little in the forum before asking about everything

Flashing a device never creates bad sectors nor bricks a phone mate.

Yes, but it's a good practice to keep a cwm backup always before flashing.
Cwm backup means..
What n all does it backups
Sorry for noon question
Sent from my Xperia S using xda app-developers app
sony back up - default restore and back up program of sony (included in the firmware)
titanium - back up system and data same like sony restore and back up apps, but with more options. (with free and paid app from google play), can be used to restore single file.
clockworkmod (cwm) backup - back up of system, boot and data ( these are done in recovery), can be used to restore system only or data only or boot only.
1. cwm (if you are flashing roms) - really need this back up in case of error or not booting
2. titanium if you are restoring single file or freezing apps or converting apps to system apps.

No question is Noob brother!
Cwm is short for ClockWorkMod Recovery by Koush.
After installing a custom kernel you get this recovery. When the phone boots (if you have ulbl) you get a vibe+blue led+white glowing illumination strip all at once... Hit volume up rocker once.
You'll enter cwm.
If you choose backup option from there... It backs up your system, boot, cache, data.
In case of any mistakes or something in future you can always enter cwm and choose restore to bring your phone back to the previous state.
You can go to advanced restore and choose either system/boot/cache/data or all.
Thank... if helpful...

[Q] Phone & Contacts app keeps crashing

hey guys i am having some serious issues with the phone app (core process) & contacts app crashing all the time on the new .402 firmware...
this happens irrespective of kernel
even tried wiping appslog, cache, dalvik-cache still no luck
any ideas would be greatly appreciated as i dont want to sit re-installing everything
did you update to .402 and if yes how?
could you provide details flashed, ota, data wipe blah blah etc etc
since the app is broken a way to fix (not sure if this works on an odexed rom) but obtain the apk that is misbehaving (a working one from a stock rom)
delete the apk (from system)and odex,reboot and settle for a bit make a flashable zip of the apk and flash (copying doed not work when the device is running)
misc:
you can use android tuner or apps alike to remake the odex for the app you replaced
the method above definatly works on a deodexed rom, ive probably gone through it thousands of times by this point, par due to my poor coding
the data for that individual app may be gone but i think thats due to what ever they did after 4.1 to the app data management

updated to .402 the usual way... flash everything except userdata partition in FlashTool...
i never use OTA only FTF... appslog wiped, cache wiped, dalvik-cache wiped...
i am on pure stock ROM...
any more thoughts?
Did you try to wipe data for phone, contacts... etc.?
If yes, time to wipe contacts/phone storage and resync those information using exchange etc.
Also, try to disable (uninstall) xposed. And change the DPI to stock if you're using a custom one.

Hi DooMLoRD,
Did you restore/backup your contacts/messages with titanium-backup cause the contacts seems to crash cause the sqlite-db is locked.
I would try to clear the app-data/cache from contacts-storage and try again. (settings->apps->all->clear data/cache)
Or did you use any other apps wich are using the information from the contacts app.
I hope this solves it.

I suggest backing up your data
Clear app data and if it doesnt work then flash a deodexed rom
The app should work and if it breaks again you can simply reflash the individual app after deleting from your system
If it still doesnt work then flash a FTF
And if it still doesnt work then it could be the usual app bug that causes an app to FC for no reason, in which case you will have to data wipe and a posible rom reflash
I found this was a common issue when making app mods for my self or even a varient FFL kernel or even a base rom

Phonebook crashes
Hi there,
I have a Z1C with last firmware, no root, no xposed, just the out-of-the-box phone and I have the same issue.
Phone crashes over phone and phone book apps. I also tried to re-install firmware through Sony tool (the official one in PC companion) and after a while once again.
I'm not sure but it started after I set up the custom sorting in the app drawer.
Z1c shows up crash windows with those processes:
com.android.phone
phonebook
android.process.acore
