Thank you, i will try that. Just one more question, o got a lot of apps, so i would like to not loose those and the way the phone is configured. Does one of these(factory reset/flash new ROM) do not delete apps/configs on the phone?

yes, they both do.
use Titanium Backup to back it up.
But try the first solution first

check ur pm
I have lighting ROM installed and dont have a backup of STOCK ROM
1) I went into Recovery and made a backup to SD card. The backup do not include camera images.
2) I wiped cache and it does not solve the error.
3) I did not do FACTORY RESET. It says that it will wipe user data so may be images too.

Factory reset did not work.

If i will install a NEW ROM (stock rom) which can be downloaded from here
http://www.sammobile.com/
Will it wipe all the images?

I had the same problem when I was trying to use jkay deluxe settings with a rom and a kernel that they jkay deluxe settings couldn't support them.I am a noobie here but you can try to load a new rom or kernel to see if the problem remains or not.Good luck

Custom Firmware that i really love (Xperia)

I love the REAL ICS.. I'm on r3.1 cause i am waiting for the r4 release without facebook problem..
For those who wants to try.. Why should i choose this rom:
1. Because this rom is based on official firmware of sony (jellybean)
2. If you're not a custom roms lover, you should love this rom also! (HAHA) Because it's like official firmware too, but smoother, got walkman player, etc!
3. The features and interfaces are greater than the official!

Excuse me kido.. its based on sony official ics.
How's the gaming performance of realICS?
MIUI for me
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
The rom looks awesome, just a shame I can't install it on my locked st17i.
Ok, i flashed to ics real lite v1.1 and am using rage kernel. Its a clean install and didnt use any backups. I only restored my contacts via memory card backup and messeges via sms backup app. This is on the mini pro.
My problem is sometimes when i get a call, i get a black screen. I press the power button to turn my screen on then i unlock my screen then answer the call. When i do that i get an error bout "com.android.phone" not responding. Whenni click ok, my prone drops the call and i cant even see the caller via call log, its so frustrating. Ive read around and ppl suggested i delete a few messages from "reject call with message", but i cant find a delete command in there. Secondly, there was this suggestion about clearing the contacts cache and stuff via app manager. This only deleted my whole contact list and was never able to get it back till i did a reinstall of the rom. I dont use facebook or some other app, my setup is bone dry basic, i only use sms backup app.
I also tried using another rom, the full version of real ics v4, still nothing. Any help would be appreciated as i really like this rom.

I also got that error when flashing back to gingerbread to root it then to ICS so it shouldn't be a problem with Real ICS, I know repairing the phone fixed it one time but I also think flashing it and wiping data also worked, flashing it and not wiping didn't though.
yeah, i tried wiping dalvik, cache, format, etc. it still isnt fixed. im gonna try fixing permissions next.

my phone doesn't work anymore :( call and sms can't be send

Hi all,

now i uninstalled foxhound rom, i paid to get a code to unlock my phone and now i just install a stock rom but the problem stay present !!!
more detail : my connection seems to stay near all the time on 3G, sometime switching on H+ but fastly come back on 3G (in france it's rare to stay in 3G, normally it's on H+ or Edge)
trying to force it on Edge the calls and sms don't work either BUUUUT i can go on internet , browse oro go on play store, it's crazy, illogical
i don't know what to do, i delete all data on internal sd, done a full wipe etc... and nothing solve it

You can try this fix : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1802951

[Q] Help...I've screwed up my sms/mms

Installed ressurection remix 3.1.2, all went well, love it. My first foray into Custom Roms and loving it :good:
Discovered today I cannot send Mms, done my research and tried instructions through faq provided by Petrifyre to update the SMCS - here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26793521&postcount=38793
I must have done it wrong (I didn't understand it that well if i am honest!) now I cannot even send sms, never mind mms , i am gonna do a fresh install, this time remembering to make a back up but i guess it wont work again so will need guiding through it.
Any chance of anyone walking me through it? Please help a noob out.
Thx in advance

Sorry, this is not what you want to hear but ...
... next time use SMS Backup & Restore app from Play store before flashing a new ROM or wiping your data.
That's the way you should process everytime.
Before wiping or flashing, backup everything you don't want to lose.

yeah, i realise i have alot to learn, but i am a quick learner.
My immediate issue is i have buggered up phone, tried a re installation of rom to try and fix issue but to no avail, i have tried my sim card in another phone and it does not send texts from this even. Have i knackered my sim card?

i dont think that has happened cuz of the custom rom installation... jus call customer care and get the issue resolved. mostly u will need to configure MMS settings & Message Center Number(for SMS).

You won't have buggered up your SIM card - very VERY unlikely you will have done any hard damage by installing a custom ROM!
What you probably will have done is messed up your mobile internet/MMS APN settings. It's a major issue in any custom ROMs - mainly the ones that are CM based or anything non Samsung ROM based. I was having major problems with it - i use SlimBean on my S2 with Dorimanx kernel. It always fails, but after i deleted all the access points completely and then created the 2 ones specific to my network (o2), and then cleared all the App Data for messaging (very important otherwise it will still fail), all works great. By App data i mean going into the settings menu, and then into Apps, find the Messaging app, then you will see an option to Clear Cache/Clear Data. do this then force stop (NOT disable). This will ensure all works nicely.
I tried all the info on the web for setting up the APNs, none seemed to work properly - in the end i put an original Samsung ROM on, then noted down all the settings for the working APNs; then re-flashed the custom ROM, and deleted old APNs and created two new ones based on my noted settings.
Using custom ROMs is always a challenge as most people have different things installed in different ways. it's a steep learning curve, but satisfying when it works - I now find that if i try a proper Sammy ROM I end up going back to the custom ones in a day or less as they are better

XT912 CM10.1 No Data No SMS

Hello to everyone..
I live in Argentina and my carrier is Movistar.
I have a XT912 which bought it unlocked in the US.
The phone works flawlessly with the stock rom (SMS, MMS, 3G, etc)
Recently I installed CM10.1. It work very nice but I have to issues, I can't send SMS and 3G doesn't wort at all.
If I try to send a SMS it gives me an error even though I can receive SMS.
And 3G does not work even though I go to APN settings and enter the correct Movistar settings I copied from stock rom.
Any help will be appreciated...
Thanks in advance...
go into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik or flash another rom

I really appreciate you taking your time to answer.
I've done that several times. First times I always delete the rom slot1 then create it again and install the new nightly from CM10.1. Later I learned it isn't necessary that action so every time I install a new nightly I do what you recommend.
I try to use it frequently so the phone gets multiple reboots. I tell you this because lot of people says some things get fixed after some reboots.
Anyway if you get any new idea it would be very welcome.
Thanks..
