If you have a look in Xperia General, you'll find a whole lot of stuff...
There's two rules to the forum. The first rule of the forum is Use Search Before Posting. The second rule of the forum is Use Search Before Posting.

Hi Chris, just a heads up mate - a better place to ask questions is in the X10 Q and A sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=745) or in the x10 General sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=615). This sub-forum (Development) is for the clever guys that are attempting to hack/mod/change the way our phones work for the better - we have to try not to clutter it up with general stuff.
To answer your questions, rooting means that you gain the ability to have root access. in unix/linux terms - this is a god-like user that can do anything. normally the user is limited as to what they can do but with root you can edit system files, delete protected files, anything you want. as i can see from your first post, you already have 2.1 installed so you will need to use the SuperOneClick root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824788)
Good luck, and remember - dev forum is for devs only
Thread moved to Q&A.

Another rule is don't start threads about threads to ask about things already answered in the thread you've already read.

[Q] Roms for MI1

Are there any good roms for MI1?

try the ones that worked for me7 but install the MI1 modules
#1 thing wrong here:
XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
#2 thing wrong here;
This is the General section all Questions and request for assistance belong in the Q&A section.
Please familiarize yourself with the XDA rules located at the very top of every forum section.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your future cooperation.

[Q] NoobRom question..???

SGs3
Temasek v.40
Guys please don't flame me.Just trying to learn,by asking people who know what they are doing.
The camera is the function that I use the most on my phone,more than txt or even the phone itself.At the moment the phone keeps freezing,and the focus is out.Again no criticism is intended, to Temesek or any dev.
So the question is...???
Is there a rom that the camera works correctly..that anyone could recommend.????
Many thanks
