This is the very reason I rooted my phone.

So annoying.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] diegonnc:
Hi people i really need help with this, i need to extract the wifi module from a nandroid backup so then i can put it in my current rom wich has wifi problems, anyone know how to do it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mardon:
Whatfor?

Wifi is a kernel module so a wifi module from a stock rom for example wont work with cyanogenmod rom.

U need a wifi modul which is compatible with your used kernel
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Shaaan:
Or you can just try and change the wifi files from your current rom.

System > wifi

From the Galaxy to your phone
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] massi.oich:
If you're sure they're compatible you can extract the wifi module just using your PC (open the nandroid directory --> System.rfs.tar (With WinRAR) --> System --> Wifi) and then put it in your current rom in the folder shaaan told you
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
I want to go back to stock ROM. Can anyone please explain how I'm doing it?

I'm trying on a step-by-step guide:

1. Flash BackToEXT3 by paulobrien

2. Wipe data/cache

3. Flash stock ROM (and the custom kernel will be overwritten)

Flashed stock V20q, and then updated the phone via PC Suite. For other noobs, that uses this guide later; I now have no root and stock kernel etc., and also updated baseband. Theres now need to use BACKTOEXT3 when you flash stock V20q via cwm.

Is this correct?

Which ROM do I need to flash, where can I find it? I guess I need to download one of these.

I have baseband 622, if that has anythingto do with it
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
You are doing it ok. If you are using firmware from the link that you are posted, flash it with smartflash. You can flash the version of your liking, however I recommend the latest v20q which is a very good one.

Or you can flash via cwm this stock v20q or Rebuild of V20Q.

v20q baseband is recommended too, with v20q rom.

Hope it helps :).
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
I was going to flash V10d with cwm, and then update via LG PC Suite.

Isen't that possible?

Edit: It worked! Flashed stock V20q, and then updated the phone via PC Suite. For other noobs, that uses this guide later; I now have no root and stock kernel etc., and also updated baseband. Theres now need to use BACKTOEXT3 when you flash stock V20q via cwm.

I am sure i saw it somewhere but i can't find the thread. Can anyone post the link? I did search so try not to flame me too much. I tried using odin and returning to the stock gb, and it successfully boots but gets tons of force closes.

Thanks for the help

Noooooobb! Consider yourself flamed ;)

Seriously though, did u flash the note (uclc5) radio while using ics?

Depending on your carrier flash the according radio from here:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jason.hamilton:
Ok, so i would use odin and flash the stock GB .tar file and then boot up into CWM and flash that radio?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jason.hamilton:
I found this thread. Sounds like i can just wipe everything and flash a GB rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Some roms have the radio integrated into the flash, I assumed u wanted pure stock. U can go that root too. NexusMOD and I believe Super lite 3.1 will do what u need. If u chose any other rom, u will have to flash a gb radio from the thread I posted, unless ur flash one of those or are coming from gb already
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cotangent05:
I been Flashing and Flashing, been switching roms and kernels,

it seems like ICS do not fit to our phone right now, even the official release i think it's like an unfinished update because of the double application or bloat wares lying around do you noticed that?

then something caught my eye, i read that sony state that GB is more better than ICS in their products and also samsung believes it too.

now i just want to know together with you guys what would you choose? i've been thinking if i woud go back to GB these past few days..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ZN6:
Just use GB for stability dude -_-

But ICS offer many great features that GB doesnt have:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
For me, Gingerbread is a lot better than ICS for ray.

The speed and the performance is a lot better although the UI of ICS is better one.

Just to compare, when you turn on your phone in gingerbread, you get ~220MB of ram. In ics you get not more than 160MB. The lags when playing hd games makes me get a terrible headache. :D

P.S I hate when my friend compared his galaxy nexus with mine running ics. So I flashed back to Sony's great gingerbread. :D:cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] superwoosh:
I have never gotten that much free RAM in GB ROMs.

I'm currently on ICS and I can live with it, it lags a little from time to time but it's no big deal. Really liking the UI, especially the App Drawer.

GB is better in the sense of performance and stability.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Srkineo:
1. wrong forum (Q&A)

2. Free mem is USELESS (wasted mem), caching = win! (meaning ICS = win:P)

3. ICS is the future, at some point some new apps wont run on GB

4. to awnser your question, try out JJ's rom, its stable, fast, and battery friendly

my 2 cents

grs SRKI
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
I have no problem with ics. It's smooth enough for me if you update it properly. But some note though. With ICS, i think there will be lag here and there if you apply kernel tweak from supercharger script. After I decided to retain only the oom level and uninstall the kernel tweak, it's a lot faster again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
So please share your tweak mastah hansip. Because I like Sony default ROM. :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
223 MB free :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kyrius:
I love ICS. I'm currently on JJs v2.1 beta with Sirkays .562 kernel. Smoooooooth, fast, reliable .... 380MB free ram ... ICS is in my opinion a huge improvement from GB
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
It's ROM gan, not RAM.. ;)

Well, i only run Supercharger script to have one of the 512HP menu. once done, i choose unKernelizer from the menu.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
What do you mean? It is RAM bro. Take a look at the pic. It is on running apps tab. And there is word RAM in the bottom. :confused::confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Ou >_< my bad.. Okay.. wow.. :confused: i only can get around 120MB max when first using it..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
Gingerbread is much smoother in general and games have better performance and run more smoothly. ICS has more features and arguably the UI looks better. I'm staying on GB until someone manages to make ICS run at least as smooth as GB.

Reminds me of when I updated from Windows XP to Vista, do you want a few more features and better looking UI? Be prepared to deal with a slower system and apps not running as fast as before.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] brunsman6229:
the ui of ICS is really fast... i think just 2 or 3 more optimisations and it's amazing ;) but for the moment "return gbread" too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gigicach:
You should try cm9 because its the smoothest rom out there for ray
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] brunsman6229:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
how do you have 317mb total? (free+used)

I only have ~255mb total! -GB 2.3.4 .58fw stock
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
I uninstall facebook inside xperia & freeze google maps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deviantelf:
At the moment I've got 245MB used and 95MB free =340MB :D. All I did was remove bloatware (with Titanium Backup) after installing ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] buguk1010:
going back to GB. the only good thing about ICS is the UI.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zen_livin:
For fast and stability i like GB.. it perfect for our RAY since Sony give 2 update GB for xperia 2011

for ICS i think still need a few update for fast and stability to xperia 2011

but since Sony launch new Xperia phone in 2012 ..

i doubt it if Sony give update again for xperia 2011 ICS :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muz2000:
Just back to gingerbread after few week on ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ridho1:
I just used my friend's xperia mini pro with ics custom rom, and surprisingly it works really goddamn great. Just like GB. Hope a developer makes also for ray. :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] edjohboo21:
Well at first I was missed in how ICS operates, which pushed me on rooting my phone, then I tried some kernel and rom combination, and finally I am so much satisfied with my phone now, XRAY V5 + RAYONIUM V5 = EPIC ICS EXPERIENCE.. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hafatih27:
i just dont understand what happened here. i think RAM should be same in total. for me, 340MB total (170free + 170used) with doing nothing, no custom ROM, kernel, even no uninstall bloat :D

(just rooting to be honest, but this still won't affect very much)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Da-BOSS:
guys calm down{i have readed from the first post}in my opinion i think ICS is the best but only if u used it and tweaked it right and also i think ICS is better than GB

to be honest i use those settings:

-Enabled ZRAM feature

-Using JJ's revolution v2.0 ROM

-Governer:samrtassv2

-I/O scheduler or{GPU}:vr

-CPU:122Mhz---->1.6 GHz

try those settings and u wont regret and u wont even think to go back to GB believe me try it :D!

as for ics ram:ics uses a technician or tactical for caching apps and memory management for example ics caches at least 7-10 apps in the boot so when u start one of those apps its will start within a seconds but in GB its does not have those tactical for caching apps thats why when i starts apps in GB it takes longer time to start the apps in other way with those settings i can play all hd games {I MEAN ALL!!}

also:correct me if i am wrong :p{but that's what i see}

thanks for reading :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] buguk1010:
think that is the problem in ics, too much caching, there is no way to really easily close an app. you close an app, and ics retains it the background eating ram. which in return slows down the phone.

unless you have atleast 1 gig of ram doubt that you'll ever experience the full functionality of ics.

ICS ray BUG:

notification LED not working after ICS update:

not work with LED missed call !!!

SMS OK.

Test menu LED OK

Tested reset and repair the phone.

Tested on two phones ray.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Da-BOSS:
haha nice reason but..... wait their is an option in the developers settings--->limit backgrounds apps--->and choose how many apps u want to work at background their is these options:standard limit{ics default},limit 4 apps in background,3 apps in background,2 apps in background,1 apps in background, and no apps in background!!:eek:

for me i choosed 1 apps or 2 apps work in the background

look i think u must go to every settings in the phone :p bec. really their is special settings especially in developers settings thats makes the phone unique:) so....... i think u must go see their around and play around with the settings :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] buguk1010:
then what's the point of upgrading if you gonna limit the capability of the phone? or minimize the functionality of the rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zamlean:
I think GB was better than ICS now, a lot of applications are not fit on ICS while

GB running perfect, maybe some days later ,we could accept ICS :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mydegeneration:
My opinion

The User Interface on GB is stable, fast, smooth, and we could say bugless (nearly no errors).

Stock ICS User Interface is only stable and with very few bugs but with it packs many new advanced features (Facelock is a winner in my book).

Also, custom ROMs based on ICS firmware are way more advanced than the ones based on Gingerbread firmware. I recommend AOKP and JJ's Hybrid ROM because those two give you the most stable and smooth user interface you'll get from ICS.

On the other hand, if you like your ROMs as stock as possible, light and minimal try Aire's Repack ROM for ICS (this one offers fully functional Facelock).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zanduro:
i think ics is just too laggy and the video recording is bad.

currently using gb: aire kernel with rayonium v7, also installed hansip87 quicksettings and the phonepad+phonebook with smart search from xperia s. this makes the ui similar to ics, well kinda, atleast it looks up to date.

can someone copy the lockscreen clock font from below link and add it to rayonium with quicksettings?

I think ICS is the best for now.

GB is fast, smooooth and reliable what comes to mobile phones but thats it.

ICS: Quite fast, smooth (lil stuttering in menus tho), some errors but so much new features.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mykar3z99:
I think GB with value pack is better than ICS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] brunsman6229:
at this time i prefer ICS with his many small tweaks... not a big difference in perf... just a little lag with hd play... but it's not so bad
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] siongsui88:
I upgrade my ray to ICS after the update released in Taiwan.

First it works fine to me, have a very nice theme for that.

I stayed ICS with me about 1 week, then I downgrade to the GB because of the WiFi connection problem which refused to connect my WiFi router.

ICS is really quite nice for me which has a nice looking theme, more new features. But that's only the WiFi bug that I found and return to GB.

I will return to use ICS later which the WiFi bug is fixed, or maybe the version 4.04 came out.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CCTU:
Because of only GB include hacked wpa_supplicant for ad-hoc support.

So, the only option is GB. I don't have other choice.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] emosis:
GB is the Right One

Gingerbread is the right one .. Why ?

All ICS ROMs based SE

ICS BETA

So i don't need to explain what is BETA i think..All ICS ROMs and kernels have problems i tried all of them. And Noone will solve them before SE Develop ICS Offical Version..This is the main reason.

Second Reason using memory Best ICS Custom ROM's free RAM memory is 172 MB ( After using 1 hours )

But the best Gingerbread ROM let you use free 225 MB RAM ( after using 1 hour )

And Battery - Again same gingerbread ROMs if you don't use screen so much it can stay 2 days in normal using.. But ICS is lower than this..

Xperia RAY Developers are really great in their works, they have done really perfect works but we have to accept this ICS is BETA so we will have these problems until SE Develop Offical Version of ICS...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] salmangeos:
yeah.. but i'm stucked on where to find "hacked wpa_supplicant for ad-hoc support" :crying::crying: do you have any link pleasee?? it will very helpfully for my XA GB..:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gabrielme03:
GB!! :)

I think GB is the best for now..

it is much smooth and fast than ICS but we all know that the ui of ICS is great..

try my settings:

ROM: Rayonium v7 Final Version

Kernel: Aire (Battery SAvings)

Install: Chainfire3d and plugins, RAM Manager, change some apps in the system folder to make it like ICS ie.. System UI, Settings, Theme Manager. if you dont like the stock camera, try the lgcamera and for music, poweramp.. :) Remove bloatwares!!! thats it..

i have no issues till now.. i installed this settings last month i think..

the games i played in this setting with no lags: asphalt 6, pes2012, samurai II, shadowgun, backstab, eternal legacy, 9mm, modern combat black pegasus, assasin's creed, temple run, dungeon hunter, avatar.. i want to try asphalt 7 but i dont have money yet..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [SIC]:
Interesting :confused:

Just tried an official 100% Supercharged GB ROM with various tweaks and no, infact it was almost laggier than official ICS supercharged or not.

And it lacked alot of nice features like swipe in notificationsbar among other things.

I think most people don't know they have to make a clean wipe if they make a big uppdate, especially on a phone like Ray which is on the edge of it's capability.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] -sanguine-:
The biggest disadvantage of GB is its incompatibility with new launchers like Apex and Nova that use many implementations of ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] firdyRAY:
HD Games; which one is better?

So judging from all these factors about cache and all, now let me ask. In all, which one is better for heavy gaming?

And are new games on playstore compatible with GB?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xeraphael:
GB is always going to be better for gaming. All else being equal, you will have much more free RAM and a bit more CPU.

Games should most likely be compatible with GB. Performance optimization is essential for heavy games, no serious dev is going to code their game using Java and hence the Android API levels are going to be not so important.

Forever GB :victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
I find ICS better. I see that this topic was started before ICS 4.0.4 .587 is relesed. Previous versions were bad news. ICS .587 version is great, maybe better than GB. When I was on GB, my Ray restarted it self few times on its own. On ICS I didnt experience any restarts. Even lag was sometimes on GB, on ICS I dont have lag at all. Stock ROM with root, removed bloatware and (xparts) CWM.

So I find ICS better because it is smoth, more beautifoul, more options, more up to date. Only disandvantage of ICS I can find is somewhat bigger battery consumption on 3G surfing...i thik 20-30% more consumption. On end of the day with GB I have had 20-30 % battery left...in other words there were some more than enough for a day. With ICS I can hit 10% here and there. Ofcourse when put on 2G battery last longer again...

And on standby i think ICS use less battery then GB. All in all, i dont think that battery usage is a big, noticable difference... For normal, everyday user ICS works great. I get no force close, no lag. Use opera mini, stock browser, tapatalk, skype, dialer one, quickpic, dropbox, one-two games, wifi tethering, photo and video recording (lg camera, 12Mbps video), watch series or movies sometimes, listen music, GPS...everything I did on GB only ICS looks and feels more fresh and there are some great mods for ICS (Cybershot...) Mods were my biggest reason for upgrade - Cybershot camera mod!!!

Offcourse, there is no big difference between GB and ICS - if GB works ok, there is no need for upgrade. When I upgraded to ICS (SUS clean update) I expected lag, restarts, bad and buggy OS...so I knew I will most probably go back to GB...But there is no need for downgrade. ICS works and feels great. Ofcourse, root and delete bloatware are most welcome! I have no reason to go back to GB. Battery drain depends on my usage...if use more, more battery is drained...if I want stamina - I can get 2-3 days (or more).

So, my advice is to try GB and then ICS. If it is bad, downgrade to GB. But, personaly I think there is no need for downgrade if you root, delete bloatware, put camera driver, and pick great apps ( dialer one vs stock, quick pic vs stock gallery, launcher pro vs stock home, etc).

I find launcher pro best fit - new ICS only and up launchers (Nova etc) use more RAM and lag sometimes...So launcher pro will improve experence a lot! No need for heavy apps if there is light alternative (IMHO).

All bad experiences with ICS were mostly before ICS 4.0.4 v.587...so look for date of posts, reviews. Ofcourse, on both GB and ICS is possible here and there split second of lag, force close if app goes wild, or random restart...but that happens almost never. All that goes away after restarting phone.

Why all you guys have problems with ICS i have to problem at no lag on HD games too UI is smooth

BTW: while im in gb just multitasking on gb ( like playing music and browsing the web ) my phone heats up to 42c :(

Everyone says gb. I prefer ics. Why?

Love ui. And with a good kernel, cofiguration it runs as smooth and fast as gb. All i want to say
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mlesic:
My gb wasnt fast or stabile. Stock without root. ICS stock with root is more stabile and faster then GB. Also gb gets heat up much faster. I forget that.. When I get time I must downgrade to make comparison. Also document battery usage and temperature on both. Run some tests etc.

Can we compare battery consumption on Ray for various situtations? GB vs ICS! Here is my ICS (root + deleted bloatware) aproximation. I used BatteryBot Pro for logging. Sometimes it is 2min, but most time 3min. So 29min was 100%-91%. cca 30 min = 10%

1% every 3 min - 3G surfing with opera mini or tapatalk

1% every 3 min - 3G wifi tethering

I must wait to see standby (3G/ EDGE), surfing EDGE, Wifi.

On GB I think it was 5 min for 3G surfing...not sure...
