Well not really, the processes are pretty much alike. Fastboot is a flashing method that allows writing unsigned partition from host usb directly to the filesystem, which is disabled in standard bootloaders (which is why you need unoocked bl to flash most custom kernels) but if you flash the whole ftf (which already contains the necessary boot filesystem as it is standalone fw) you use flash because all installation steps are executed in the correct sequence...

Anyways, enough with the spam. Stock FW all have stock kernel embedded, just try flashing it and check kernel versions and ou'll see
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 4736004:
Download official ftf file from Sony website and flash it via flashtool.. Kernel would be installed ... You don't have to worry...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ScatteredHell:

Good afternoon, everyone. I've been an XDA member for a while but today switched from another phone to the VZW GNex. I'm looking forward to putting this gorgeous device to the test to see what it can do and eventually try some of the killer ROMs our talented devs have built.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NewZJ:
Welcome! You will find many knowledgeable and courteous members here with some even willing to help fix problems and issues. Hopefully you enjoy your time here and your fantastic choice in phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sramedani:
Welcome, jellybean is the way you want to go for the ROMs. ICS is as far as I am concerned outdated. Vicious, xenon HD, and aokp are great starters and I would reccomend faux kernel for the fastest and most stable kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamezz23:
I just got my Gnex yesterday and I already love it compared to my gs2. But I've noticed a lot of threads and posts on people that just got it in the last few days, crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StrizzMatik:
Can't go wrong with CNA, AOKP, JBSourcery or the CM10 variants. Throw in Franco or Trinity kernel and you're gold
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Empty Hand:
Second AOKP and Franco kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] das0527:
Thanks for the warm welcome and advice. I'm running BAMF's Paradigm right now but I want to test drive others. I've heard about the Franco kernel but I don't know how to flash kernels yet. After I do some research I'll look into that, but at least in the meantime I can try the ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manatee Burger:
Hey there, you flash kernels the same way you flash ROMS. Just get a .zip and install it through recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hnosaj:
I see that a lot of people are having issues with Voice Mail in GV on the T-Mobile prepaid plans. Mine actually works since I'm using my GV#.

The issue is that when I place a call it's using my new T-Mobile number even though I have GV set up to use GV for all calls.

Should I port my GV# over to T-Mobile or is there another work around?

Will porting my GV# remove it from GV thus removing all functionality?

Receiving calls, VM and text via GV works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Go into your Google Voice app > Settings > Making Calls > "Use Google Voice to make all calls". Calls via the stock dialer will go out via your GV #. If this isn't working, try setting it to "ask every time" and see what it does when you call and choose Google Voice. If that doesn't work, I'd be inclined to say that's a settings problem that you should figure out at the voice.google.com settings page.

This has nothing to do with what carrier you're on.

The only reason why people on T-Mobile Prepaid have issues is because T-Mo Prepay doesn't have "conditional call forwarding", which means that without disabling your T-Mobile voicemail service, people who call your T-Mobile # can't be redirected to GV Voicemail.

Now as you note, if people are calling your GV #, GV Voicemail works fine. I have the same experience it's always worked perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hnosaj:
I've done that and it's still placing calls using the T-Mobile number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
As I note, if that doesnt work go back into the settings and have it "ask every time" when you place a call. Select GV and see what it does then. Sounds like you have a configuration problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hnosaj:
Oddly enough that results in the same thing. And it doesn't ask me whether I want to use GV to place the call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s9ortner:
My wife had that issue and an uninstall/reinstall worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
uninstall the GV app and reinstall it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Ya that's just a settings issue. Not resetting. Either clear data on the app or reinstall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hnosaj:
Still no luck. I've tried uninstalling and clearing data.

Both times it went back to using the T-Mobile number to place the call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
what dialer are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's very weird... is the phone # setup as a forwarding # for your GV account?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hnosaj:
It's just the one that come stock on the galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hnosaj:
Yes - inbound calls are routed to GV in my desktop settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hnosaj:
I may have found a work around. If I dial the area code or just click on a contact to call it goes through GV.

If I just dial the local 7 digit number it doesn't.

Not an issue since 99% of my calls are placed by tapping a contact. This was just the one time that I decided to manually dial a number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Google Voice usually requires (or really likes) if the number you dial has a 1 or +1 infront of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deegan87:
I made a petition about getting this to work. Maybe if enough people sign it, T-Mobile will listen.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonr55:
I have used Windows mobile for many years and have quite a number of SKSchema scripts, which make my everyday life easier. Now it seems like I am forced to migrate to Android. Is there anything like SKSchema for Android?? Not necessarily something that can run the SKSchema scripts directly, but at least something where I can code similar scripts?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
First of all i want to apologize if any of my questions seem a little noob

I have still a locked bootloader (dont want to avoid warranty) and if i understand correctly i can only install roms 2.3.4 based, since i can't change kernel right? Wich is ok, cause i think ICS is not good enough for gaming experience.

Best roms available, like Xperia NXT or DIxperia 2 are great, but i was wondering is it possible to have a decent default browser too?

I mean, the best option will be having the default ICS Xperia browser (i test it on xperia mini pro official), but i understand that it's not possible to have that kind of smoothnes without video acceleration, so only ICS? On this matter, how can the Galaxy 2 (when still on 2.3.6) had a very smooth default browser, whithout video acceleration?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
Why use stock browser when you have Dolphin Browser?

Sent from my awesome Xperia Play with DoomKernal
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
It 's the same: not smooth at all. I already tried everything. Only opera mobile is almost decent
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
Has the same default browser on stock 2.3.4?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
not sure I use the latest dolphin beta
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
Can u do a screnshot of default browser?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
nope as I don't have it, why not just copy the default browser you want to the rom you want
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
Since i was talkink about smoothnes, it doesn't matter. Dolphin uses the same engine of default browser, it's basically a skin. So, your Dolphin is smooth as Opera Mobile?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si1ver Shad0w:
The latest Dolphin beta uses their own engine.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
you havent even tried other roms so cant really say NXT is the best
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstractbeats:
I can relate to needing the superior gaming of GB but missing the smooth browsing of ICS. And Opera Mobile being the best browser of a bad bunch on GB.

I'm a bit weird in liking a particular old version of Opera Mobile 11, why not try it? :fingers-crossed: I still think it's smoother than the new Dolphin beta and lets you scroll diagonally:

http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1310050386_Opera_Mobile_11.10.ADR-1107051709.apk

Honestly though, I ended up using Opera Mini since it's by far the fastest of all, and just keep whatever other full-fat browser around for when I need one. It's sad though cos I know from using ICS the device can do better.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuby:

Ive never been a fan of animated wallpapers but that thing is gorgeous. Give it a try if you havent. You can use the stock images or your own. The stock images are really quite beautiful. I set the speed to slower as the default was too fast and distracting.

Any other animated wallpapers people really like?
[XPERIA X8 General] KingAmir:
This thread is being created to explain, in short, a few common phone 'terms.' Now although there are many threads explaining the same thing they are 'thicker' and written differently. A different guide will help a different person. I think it is valid that there is more than one explanation of the same thing. If you have ANY suggestions, please leave them in post form below. I have explained this relative to the Xperia x8 and this is why it is in our territory.

Remember that this is a MINI guide. So not every term in the android language will be explained. For a more complicated guide see HERE or on the everything x8 w8 thread here. Both guides are different.

Anyway Here is a mini guide about phone terms:

A ROM stands for Read Only Memory, ususally on this site referring to the phone's internal memory where your apps are stored. It's like an operating system. (OS) When people say they're flashing a new ROM, it usually means they are installing a new 'operating system'. A custom rom may have new features different to the STOCK rom.

The term Stock usually means the version of something installed by the manufacturer. Or in other words, the stuff already on that thing. :p

An .APK is a Package on Android. Usually you will meet these when installing apps on your phone. This is, simply put, just a file extension, like .exe on windows.

Rooting is simply giving your phone administrators rights. No roms or anything. Once rooted you could install clockworkmod which would allow you to install a rom that would work on you STOCK kernel (the one that comes with xperia).

A kernel is a set of instructions to a phone. different kernels or custom kernels (not stock) enable you to flash some more advanced roms as not all roms will work on STOCK kernel.

Also, in most cases, different kernels allow overclock and undervolt. These things allow you to make your device run faster.

Unlocking your BootLoader is required to install a custom kernel. Unlocking a bootloader can be difficult and if done wrong, can brick your device completely.(

make it useless like a brick

) This is why I did not do it until a few weeks ago - because I was scared. If you do however find yourself bricked, look to my guide no further than HERE.

You flash kernels with Flashtool. But you MUST have an unlocked BootLoader to do this.

If I was to recommend a rom, I would say MiniCyanogenmod (CM for short). The developer, nAa, focuses on getting the galaxy nexus android - pure version. Check out my review on the stable ever wonderful MiniCM9 HERE.

Links to Flashtool, ROMS and other things mentioned will be in my other guides hyperlinked in the article.

Please be generous with the 'Thanks' if you appreciate my effort.

Special Thanks to I Am Nice for his consistent helpful feedback
[XPERIA X8 General] Godra:
You should better explain what kernel is. Like conection between hardware and ROM
[XPERIA X8 General] KingAmir:
Please elaborate

[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
Pls don't disrespect chris. I can tell you he knows what he's saying (he didn't get to become RT for nothing). :)

I admire your efforts, but please add more definitions. For example: you didn't really explain what "bootloader" means. And like chris has said, it's already explained (in morr detail) in another thread. Hopefully you'll add more jargons in the near future. Good job though. :beer:

Edit: you may want to report those users thay are stalking you. ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] KingAmir:
Thankyou. After reading this again. I see that I have crossed the line on that one. Apologies to Chris and thanks to you. :fingers-crossed: I was quite tired and wasn't really paying attention. But I have typed that same line so many times that those keys on my 'board are worn out. Just a bit angry. But sorry again. No disrespect was intended.

Because I use Touch recovery..it will not work on the other recoveries...

flash the recovery via Odin and Flash the ROM..

then you can flash back the other recovery on the top of it to have your backups..

[Edit] try it on your current recovery once..I think it will work as it uses Edify scripts..do let me know so that I can edit the OP
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
u r welcome mate..
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
is it working on CWM recovery (non touch version) as well??

My baseband is still LH6. How to get this changed?
[Galaxy S III General] j0ep0:
.

Whats up with the attitude? You're simply being wrong telling ppl the problem is with their network, not with the JB leaks. It's plain simple: Wifi has issues for several users on the JB leaks. Look at the test below on my own wifi network woth two Galaxy S3's. One with the leaked JB, one with the latest ICS stock. Test performed at the same spot, in the same time frame. Wifi status on both phones is:

Signal Strength: Strong

Link Speed: 65Mbps

Security: WPA-PSK

XXDLH6 (Hyperrom 1.0.5):

XXBLH1 (Stock)

And yes, I've tried WPA1, WPA2, 802.11g only, 802,11bgn mixed, 802.11n only. Minor difference but wifi troughput sucks at JB for some users, including me. Their might be another setting at the router(s) I've tried, but fact is that JB wifi performance is worse than ICS performanced with the same wifi configuration. I'm glad for you that wifi works ok, but that doesn't mean there aren't any wifi problems for other people.

Edit: This thread contains an interesting fix that works for me.
