- Unlock bootloader
- Flash CM10 kernel ( its in the rom zip)
- Go to recovery and flash the zip after wiping data and cache
- Reboot!
Now you need to use search button to know how to do the above stuffs
Start from the general section
All the best!

Hi, Can someone put together a newbies guide for getting ICS on the Xperia Arc S.
I have a unlocked bootloader, but all the information in the developers section is rather confusing (most because they don't differentiate between Arc or Arc S, so it's unclear if it's safe to load). It also seems much more complicated to get CWM that it is on my other Android device (Asus Transformer) and previous Android devices.
I am looking for something is is basically the ICS beta release by SE, but with the fixes to get the missing stuff like Wifi back.
Thanks.
bare in mind i am very new to this but i have managed to flash install ICS on my arc
for CWM i assume you say its difficult because rom manager says device is not supported?
well i was worried but after some searching i found "auto instaler"
which allowed me to install CWM
i then managed to get ICS
id feel better if i didnt explain steps...as i dont want to confuse you as i said i am very new to all this
... search is your friend.

Im also a NOOB..... few day ago
my experience is
u need to
1.unlock your phone
2. root your phone
3. learn use fastboot to install Kernel
4. use CWM (mostly include in Kernel) to install ROM
then will work (this is short version explain)
im using arconium ICS (choose one of the kernel that provided and install first then install the ROM)

READ CLEARLY THOSE INSTRUCTION SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM
I don't have this phone. My friend owns one. He's asking me to update his device to Android 4.0 unofficially.
I have some questions :-
1) Which is the best method to root this via stock?
2) Which is the most stable ICS ROM? Any major/minor bugs?
3) Please link me to a thread that gives instructions on how to install recovery and other procedure for installing ROMs on this device.
4) Is there any way to return back to stock if I accidentally soft brick it or make some mistake?
PS : I have quite of experience in rooting, flashing ROMs and other stuff.
Thanks in advance

Hey Guys.
I am new to this community site. I own a LG Optimus P350 phone.. its Android version is the default 2.2 Froyo as provided by the manufacturer. Few days back i rooted the phone using Gingerbrek.. Now i want to upgrade my Android version. Firstly i want to ask which ROM would be suitable for my cell phone.. and what are the steps to do upgrade the ROM? Also i want to ask is how do i move the factory installed apps in my cellphone (like facebook, etc) to SD card since my phone is already rooted... please go easy with the language i am a noob with such stuff so far... I did try looking out for the solution in other threads but could not find the answer (or maybe couldn't understand it )...

There you have the oficial CyanogenMod 7 rom support, instalation and development issues support.
In my opinion it is the best 2.3 alternative rom for p350.
The steps i know only in portuguese, but i believe i will find it in this link too.
The factory installed apps, the most one you will install with a Google package inside this link too.
The others you can download again on play store.
following a different guide i was trying to install CM Invasion V2 ROM.. i never got to the flashing ROM part... i was backing up the current ROM unsing ROM manager and my cell fone bricked... after banging my head... looking for solutions on the net and again banging my head... i finally was able to revive my cell fone (using kdz updater)... all this is a risky business
can anyone give me a near perfect guide for flashing ROM without using ROM manager.. please..
You'll have to flash a custom recovery first. Amonra is very stable. Then you can make a nandroid backup of your current rom from the recovery for you to go back to. Flash the rom you like and enjoy. If you need to do back to your original rom, just restore back from your nandroid backup

now flash recovery by going on thread then do steps
for flashing roms do following steps on recovery
1.creat nandroid backup only once not for everytime you flash
2.then go in wipe section and wipe all data
3.then go to flash zip manu and find rom then flash
4.sometimes some rom needs advanced steps for flashing like cm 7 official needs to format/system(steps for it it mentioned by the developer on his thread)
done reboot then enjoy flashing.
hope this will help you...........................
in future do not install recovery from rom manager it will brick your phone untill it gets perfect for our device
Remember we have a wiki page for this phone with an all-in-one guide for modifying it (rooting, recovery, custom rom installation, troubleshooting). I try to keep it updated, nice and clean (kinda hard some times).
About Android versions: The Optimus ME comes with Froyo (2.2) there is no other official firmware for it. CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread (2.3) which now has official support and is working pretty good now (yes, previous versions were slow, buggy but now they're pretty stable)... Honeycomb (3.0) is only for tablets, so it's not coming to P350. CyanogenMod 9 is based on Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), which for this device is still a work in progress, so don't expect a timeline nor a soon release. CyanogenMod 10 based on Jelly Bean (4.1) is still a myth for the P350...
I hope to have answered your questions...

Hey Fellaz,
another noob, another question:
I'm kinda getting into the process to root my device and install a custom ROM, which in my case will be Slim Bean.
But first I want to wait for the official JB Update via OTA and after that i want to root my phone and install the custom ROM.
My Question won't be how to do it, don't worry.
Here it goes:
When i receive the update, will the rooting process be any different from when you do it on ICS ? I mean there are lots of guides on the internet, how to flash fastboot and CWM and so on.
There are links to fastboot, to the htc drivers, to the CWM, the files you need to do that. My Question is, will those be outdated when you have JB or does all stay the same ?
The same for Slim Bean, will the flashing process stay the same if I have official JB or will the files change which i need to use (hboot and stuff) ? I just coudn't find information if all the necessary files only run if you go from ICS>JB.
In my case i will be going from official JB>custom JB rom.
Jesus my english sucks when i'm excited, sorry !
Thanks in advance and have a nice day !
Nope....nothing changed. All in the same way
thanks for the reply !
And what will be about the hboot, if I get the official JB update, will there still be a need to chance hboot in order to flash Slim Bean ?
Don't think so, slim bean is a JB rom ? And after the update you will be on a JB hboot ...well that's clear as glass i think
alright thanks, yes Slim Bean is an AOSP based JB rom
As I saw in the JB Thread there will be a problem and in the second post of the JB discussion thread, it says that out there is only 1 rom which supports the hboot version coming with the JB Update.
So what's the truth now ? Can't anyone make a clear statement ?
Hi guys,i've been using cm based roms and stock based roms for a long time but never gave interest in miui roms but after watching a video of miui v5 on XS..i liked it a lot..so now i'm preparing to install on my xperia ion.But as i'm new to this I'm really confused about the download and installation procedure.
First up, Download: For downloads there are two versions of Xperia Ion Threads in official miui website.
(1) The one made by @kin912 which is updated every week http://en.miui.com/download-106.html and
(2) The one by @ganeshbiyer which is not active right now http://en.miui.com/download-116.html
Now coming to @kin912's thread there are two versions,without swap by @kin912 and with swap by @Bugly Astard! Now the problem is that mine is an LT28H and I don't know about swap and anything about miui,but i already downloaded the latest version[4.7.18] by @kin912 from his thread now my questions are what is Swap? and wether this rom has Google Play Store in it or do i need to manually flash the Gapps and other thing,i've read about the installation procedure but as i am not familiar about different LT28 versions i'm confused! So please anyone give me the installation procedure for miui and please tell me if i downloaded the correct rom @kin912 or i need to download @ganeshbiyer rom for my LT28H!! As told by @kin912 on his thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498755) i've also downloaded his Ghost Kernel For OTA updates!! So please also include the installation of Ghost Kenel!! Thanks in advance!!
Here is what i'm running on,
Model: LT28h
Rom: cm-10-20131224-FXP-aoba
Kernel: FXP kernel
Bootloader: UB
Thanks in advance!!
I hope my reply helps you

Don't try MiUi on Xperia ION.I have tried MiUi and it's performance is very bad I will not recommend you to install this rom.:angel: Anyway to install ghost kernal first extract Ghost_Kernel_V3.zip and flash the boot.img file using flashtool in Fastboot Mode or place the Ghost_Kernel_V3.zip file on you storage and install it using TWRP or CWM recovery.Then Install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498755.I guess this rom has google play stores and apps.
