There shouldnt be a problem running an ICS custom ROM on Stock ROM. Could be your file is corrupt. Try downloading it again and flashing it again properly. I dont know what's the problem exactly.
no ....
hey u got it wrong...that file is a walkman for ICS which was Flashed On GB ...so it wasnt meant for it .....i really need help....cant afford to lose my apps ...!
...??
Guys please help ....i really didnt mean to flash the wrong app......will formatting system/ in CWM help solve it ?

If you have done a Data wipe then all your apps are gone. You can install another Gingerbread ROM and try to see your apps.

Unfortunately no,you must wipe data and cache to boot.Only if you flash stock rom will work without wiping data.

Yes you can.. But i think it'll be installed in System folder and without root you wont be able to access it i guess. Just follow the guide as you are rooting for the first time and everything should work fine. ATB

I don't understand where is the problem, you are now on ICS, you can't just flash some .62 zip via CWM. By doing that you will only(most likely) replace system partition, other stuff like kernel, baseband, data will be left from ICS.
ThilinaC told you to do a full flash first. Meaning, first flash some GB ftf, then root, then CWM, and then you can flash that zip in CWM.

hm, my advise:
flash .42 ftf, root, CWM, flash that zip you linked, and then flash stock .62 kernel(you can flash stock even on locked BL, of course if you don't have SIM-lock, meaning if your fastboot is enabled)
or you can check this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
and get .62 via OTA update, after flashing .42.

One word of advice, don't rush. When you're flashing a rom for the first time, you've got to be careful. Read and reread all the instructions and understand everything about the process before starting.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
And the most important take care with the baseband .....
Ok so i have Android 2.3.3 so i think my baseband is ok, so after rooting and doing that custom recovery what i do next?and when telling me put a few instructions in thnx!
Help???
So what do we do next after rooting and etc.?
man, don't forget to backup your NV, to do that, go into LGMDP, connect to your mobile, go into Tools, and press in NV Backup. I forgot this and my phone doesn't gave me band signal, so i had to return it to the LG assistance.

This is not ment for flashing at all.
Besides, you cannot install a rooted system without having a rooted system already.
You can use this to restore certain stock system files, incase you haven't made backups.

I'm currently in stock rom, .54 version and I like to install Ultimate Sola v2.

Well, if only I can post in the thread I would. But I don't have enough posts to post in android development threads. Thanks by the way.
Sorry I forgot about the 10 posts rule Anyway, read the thread :
1. Install latest official ICS from Sony via flashtool.. any version of .54 u like... doesnt matter if its indian or global or italian. if ur already in ICS official .54 then avoid the step....
2. FLASH CWM V5 for unlocked bootloaders... dont use any other... u wont be able to boot then.. and for locked bootloaders use the CWM is available for locked BL stock rom. no need if u have one...
3. Install rom via CWM
4. let it boot.
5. reboot and after boot do a factory data reset in settings. be sure to tick erase internal storage option
6. let it boot then go to quick panel settings. Go to Widget button and UNCHECK EVERYTHING. this step is important. otherwise system ui wont work.
7.Then go to solid explorer. Press back two times. u will enter SYSTM ROOT FOLDER. CLICK SYSTEM folder . Go to app folder. Find Quickpanelsettings.apk and rename it to quickpanelsettings.bak (or whatever u wish.. make sure it doesnt have .apk at the end..)
8. reboot and enjoy.......

I think so? I think the 1st version only needs version .10 so I guess you can install it instead. But I'm not sure, better ask pulak.
