Hello friends.
I am new to this wonderful community and very happy to be a part of it.
I am facing a very strange problem. I am trying to update my WT9i Live with walkman from Gingerbread to Ice cream sandwich. Problem is .. whenever I flash an ICS rom my touch doesn't work !! Everything else works fine (physical keys / network / audio). Then if I install GB rom again it works flawlessly.
I have unlocked bootloader.
I am using Flashtool to flash stock roms.
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58_(1254-1868).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1254-1889).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_CUSTOMIZED CE3 WORLD I 1254-1889.ftf = touch doesn't respond
I have no idea what could be the reason. Any GB roms works smoothly. Any ICS roms bricks the touch screen. I have tried custom kernel (mesa .. kappa) and many custom ICS rom .. same problem. But at any moment I flash GB rom .. everything works.
I did all the research I could (for last 4 days) and read many threads .. tried many things. Nothing helped.
Please help me! Please Please Please.
I have seen many threads with problem "touch does't work because of flashing wrong rom or kernel".
I don't think that's my case. Because whenever I flash a stock GB rom .. it works just fine. Problem happens with ICS roms .. custom or stock.
I am going to try some custom GB rom with custom kernel. I'll post if that works.
This thread is most likely my last hope of finding a solution .. please help!
Just out of curiosity downloaded the 587 ICS generic rom from flasstool website then flashes it .. same touch problem.
Now downloading latest Nightly CM10 coconut. I'll try it. CM 9.1 stable did not worked .. same touch problem.
Please Help ! I dont see a clue ! Why ICS roms would freeze my touch when everything else works? I am on the verge of throwing my phone out of window !!!
Latest CM10 Nightly build = same problem .. touch screen is not working.
Flashed Stock GB = everything is fine !
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Now I am downloading every regional roms of stock ICS .. its all I can think of.
I know its a very old phone and update / development for it completely stopped. Its forgotten. Still I love this little cute handset and I would love to get ICS on it (for app support .. many app do not work on GB .. like google chrome).
So please help !
Hello there!
Quick question: has your LWW ever been repaired? Like, had it's touch digitizer replaced or manipulated in any way?
I know some replacement parts can conflict with non-stock (or "comes-out-of-the-box" to be precise) software. I bought a replacement display for my Mini Pro and it would just freeze on CM10.1 but worked (kinda) on stock ICS.
And yeah, it's and old phone, but a good one. Development for it and it's 2011 brothers has clearly slowed down but has absolutely not stopped

Hello. Thank you for replying. Its a second hand phone .. my brother purchased it from a friend then gave it to me. So it may have a replaced display or digitizer. I just checked with my brother and he said his friend never repaired the phone.
So GB and ICS use different digitizer drivers? Is it possible to use GB touch drivers with ICS?
No idea. Your problem is truly rare haha.
I'm out of ideas here, most of the time flashing a stock ftf does the trick, but not here.
if I were you, i'd sell that phone to someone who woulndn't care about software updates hehe.
Hello Friends.
I am posting this in case someone else face the same problem and find this thread. In my opinion ..this is a very rare and strange problem.
This problem should never happen with an original handset.
If your touch only works with Gingerbread stock roms and even after complete wipe other stock roms freeze your touch .. then you can be sure that your touch was replaced with a cheap one. Go to a servicing center and replace it with a good touch or sell the phone to someone else who doesn't care about updates.
I went to a servicing center today and replaced my touch. Now it works smoothly with stock ICS rom. I am sure it will work with CM too. It costed me around 25$.
1 tip to recognize low quality touch. Low quality touch will not have transparent bottom-left and bottom-right button. You wont be able to see the key lights through it. Good quality touch will have transparent button. Another warning .. after market touch is most probably not scratch resistant like the original touch .. so you may want to use a good screen protector (plastic film) on it.
This is not only for WT19i. Whenever you buy a secondhand set .. make sure its touch wasn't replaced and best to check if its upgraded and working properly.
Thanks to "Pixelado" for hinting me about the replaced touch issue. Then it made sense to me .. there was no other logical reason for the stock rom not working.
I am very happy with my upgraded ICS But kinda sad about the money loss ! Anyway loss is loss. This is a good handset and I hope it will serve me good. Now looking for a way to root it.
i'm always more than glad to help
Now, on the rooting issue, I strongly recommend unlocking your bootloader and flashing a pre-rooted kernel. Why, you ask? Well, you'll find out eventually
Custom kernels often pack a bunch of optimizations and the ability to overclock. I strongly recommend Rage kernel for stock ICS. Once you flash it, i'll take care of rooting your phone on first boot. If you're not able to unlock your bootloader/don't feel comfortable flashing kernels, rooting by exploits is your only choice.
By the way, I strongly suggest giving LegacyXperia CM10.1 a try. Its awesome

Thanks a lot Pixelado. I have unlocked bootloader and using mesa kernel 4.8. Would Rage 3.2 would be better than Mesa?
I'll try LegacyXperia CM10.1 .. appreciate the recommendation.
I've never tried mesa, so no comment there. Quie frankly, rage 3.2 seemed to be all i ever needed when using a stock rom. I tried lupus, but stopped using it when they switched from CWM to TWRP.

Hi All,
I purchased an X10 Mini Pro yesterday and I rooted last night.
I am now looking for the most stable ROM to put on my phone, I just don't know which one has had more development put into it.
Is it possible to use 'X10 Mini' ROMs on the X10 Mini Pro?
Appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction into which ROM I should put on my phone in terms of stability and functionality. Many thanks!
You can not use the rom from the mini for the mini pro...
the only advice is try them. backup your present rom first and then flash one of the few. try it for a couple of days and flash another.
you will find the rom that suits you most this way.
I'm using the Floyo rom and happy with it.
as all roms they are still under developement. things are not working random reboots may occur.
as said in other forums. there is no best rom. all roms are made to personal taste of the developer and that might you like more or less depending the rom. just try the roms available as said before. this is the only way.
read the threads about the roms they will give you all the info you will need.
@wilcovh
Okay thanks for getting back to me m8...
the most stabile and functional rom is the stock rom at this moment.
sorry guys, but you know it's like that. custom roms still need some bugfixes, but the progress is very promising.
hi,
you want a good and stable custom room?
well the best for now is the Foyo rom. it is almost bug free...(only 2 or 3 bug know bugs) and it have some themes options....
see the topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961783
Floyo v3.4 reboots often, but I couldn't find any other bugs. If you can (I can) tolerate these reboots, I think this is the best choice.
Temes
i cant boot to xrecovery after installed v3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951274
and instal xRecovery.
But xRecovery should be working after installed v3.4
Maybe you did something wrong.
There's no random reboot on mine using CM6 3.4, try to reflash your phone and then install 3.4, I didn't see any bugs imho. Instead complaining about the bugs for each rom, try to help the dev by supporting they work and help them find a solution.
Try 3.4 for daily basis it's quite stable. CM7 V5 is still a little bit buggy in some vital section.
Since we cracked bootloader i have question how to make dual boot to work
i.e miui and sony ericsson 2.3.3
boot manger - avaialible
how to make miui to work as a second option
(no wories about memory 16gb suppose to be more than enough (me))
since we have more option now than that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911170
can we renew this subject
i know that we can squize 2 kernel and xrec, cmw5, and few other thing but how to run 2 os ?
M
sorry if it is in wrong section
Sometimes its not a question of can it be done...
but why the hell would you need 2 roms on your phone....
install that , read the whole thread and do all the patches and u will be happy with life.

Everybody's needs & wants are different. So are likes/dislikes/expectations etc.
So if marcopolo says that he needs dualboot, I guess somebody knowledgeable on the matter needs to advise about the possibility and ways of going about it. Not push him to try a new ROM (MIUI 1.10.8 Basic, since thread # 1295089 is for it), or did bimmerrob paste the wrong URL.
I myself have tried a few ROMS - WB TW (before SE released official 2.3.3 ROM), CM7 ZMOD, FXP 028/030 & some other flavors, but I always keep coming back to Stock or it's derivatives due to one issue or another (WLOD's & restarts mostly).
I would also love to have dualboot & would try searching more on it. Will post my search results later. I've dual booted between different Windows versions & linux on my desktop & laptop for years, so why not dual boot (between ROM's) on phone.
I may be from the minority who sometimes face crippling problems with custom ROM's (since most of the users run custom ROM's without much issues). At those times, flashing another stable/stock ROM is not possible due to various reasons (not having access to laptop etc), so temporarily, switching to another stable/stock ROM would be a nice feature to have.
Dualbooting is conceptually possible and we have even tried and tested it with 2.2 ROM's combining 2.1 ROM's
so far no one tried this on 2.3.3 roms.. ITs just a matter of trying and getting it to work.

I'm on the same page as you. I'd like to test a few things out while still having one ROM that I KNOW works as the primary and boot a test ROM to see if it would even work for me.
Been meaning to research and play with the old method and modify it a bit to get this idea working but never have the time.
I'll be a guinea pig for whoever gets this in alpha.
I personally need dual boot to avoid the hassle of backing up and restoring data/apps everytime i try a custom ROM
its annoying when u are not satisfied with the new one and has to switch back to an old one
so............ guys in the ur group as well !!!

Dual Boot is possible / but the only thing keeping us apart from that is Devs leaving for ultimate Smartphones
We Are IN Need Of Ultimate Devs :|
Sorry to say , we got a handful left
Edit : I think This Thread must go to " General " or " Q & A "
Guys
Can someone point me out to a stable and fully functional MIUI rom for galaxy s2 ? . I could not find any info regarding the rom on MIUIs website as well
I use Galnet Miui (galnetmiui.co.uk) 2.11.26 and have had minimal problems.
Now...
Just because it works well for me does not mean you will have the same experience with this rom. Your phone will have been built ever so slightly differently to mine so far as the "quality" of the components go, you will have different apps installed on your phone and you will have different usage patterns to me.
So what I'm saying is by all means try it out, but also try out other roms & see how they work for you.
I find it impossible to believe you went to Miui.com, clicked on the english site & couldn't find the downloads. That tells me you didn't try hard enough, so I suggest you go back there and have a proper look. Also, you can have a look at Miui US, their rom is a different take on Miui again.
If you're not the sort of person who's prepared to do a bit of searching and experimenting with your phone, and you want a rom that's always stable , I suggest you leave your phone on stock firmware & just enjoy a fantastic phone (the phone is brilliant just running stock).
Thanks mate for the detailed reply . I did find the download section ! , however i did not find any help on its forums regarding the quality of the ROM ( what is working and whats not ) . And i still cannot find it
And i can search and experiment . Running CheckRom V4 for a while now and its pretty nice !
"Quality" is a subjective thing. It gets back to what I was saying about different people having different experiences with different roms.
So far as what works & what doesn't, there should be a changelog with every version of the rom, I know there is for Galnet's roms and I'd be very surprised if there's not for Miui's roms (which means I'm not going to do the searching for you).
I installed the miui.us rom . Apparently everything is working . Just the video in 720 or 1080 is not working !
is that working in the Galnet`s rom ? you can atleast tell me that

Miui.us? May i know which version you installed?
Rom : MIUI ICS XGT 'EXTENDED'
Kernel : Xcell-69X
Modem : XXKP8
Sent from Galaxy SII
It was 1.12.30
But i am back to CheckRom . Was having a few problems with the Rom
* SMS app was giving constant FC ( even after trying the fix )
* Camera app was closing randomly without any errors etc
* Phone was running too Hot
* Quadrant score went down from 3600 to 2800 ( not bothered that much with that )
Just for you (because I've come to like you somewhat during the time this thread has been in existence), I tested 1080HD video just now and it works quite fine.

Do you mean that all roms here are not always stable?
Yep that's exactly what I mean. It's pretty rare to run a custom rom and not have any issues (mostly minor issues tho, mind you) at all. So many different apps, some of which work perfectly with some roms/kernels yet are nothing but trouble with others.
Stock has had the absolute living crap tested out of it by Samsung and if you want (almost) absolute stability with almost no problems whatsoever, then stock is what you want to run on your phone. On the other hand, if you're spending time on a site like this chances are stock just isn't your thing and you're more than prepared to put up with little issues that come up occasionally running a custom rom/kernel.
I know I am. I can't see any reason why I'd ever go back to stock, I can't think of a "gamechanger" or feature Samsung could put in a stock rom that couldn't be made to work in a custom rom by the *really* talented devs who post here that would make me go back to stock.

Hey Guys, With my stock GB and even with ICS update, all were going fine. But when I tried to flash a new ROM like JB, xNovathor, CM9, CM10, CM10.1 (actually I've tried them all!), after flashing completed, I restart my phone. but since then touch doesn't work at all. Start screen appears and even I can take the screenshots, but touchscreen doesn't response at all. If anyone know the solution, please GIve me a Feedback! Thanks in advance!
I posted this topics to few other places with no solution yet.
Right now, I am on with stock ics rom on my LWW
When I flashed any ics custom or stock rom my touch works fine.
But whenever i tried to flash any custom JB/KK rom to my device according to the procedure i end up with a touchscreen bricked device.
Hardware keys works fine. Everything works fine except touch screen.
I really need some help r8 now.
I tried...
1. cm10
2. cm11
3. Super jellybean 8
4. bean streak etc.
All ends up with a bricked touch screen.
then i flash back to stock and everything is r8.
(I should mention that, I changed my touch screen few weeks ago)
Now plz give me suggestion, what should I do?
