I have an old Xperia E4 and I want to play around with it by installing a custom ROM. Installing stock Android would be even better, but to my understanding I can't find the images online.
I wonder if there's a version of Android I could install on this device, I wasn't able to find anything online. I don't really care if I brick it or some functions don't work, if there's just a change that it will work then I'm up for it.

Hey all, I've come here to ask these basic questions...since this is the place where gurus come.
I'm currently in possession of an a500 running stock 3.2 however I can not update it or even use the google play store to download apps as the a500 is no long supported. Are there any work arounds to get the play store to work on a stock rom (and how could I update it to ICS)? I think it's pretty ****ed up that by dropping support for it you can no longer download a thing from it.
I say this because the owner of this tablet is not at all good with technology and would greatly appreciate the vanilla experience of android compared to a custom rom.
And I'm not all that familiar with how the play store operates on custom roms so my next questions are:
1. If a custom rom was to be used which is the most stable?
2. If using a custom rom will the play store become usable again?
Thank you all!

Play store, as far as I know should work fine on a stock install. It has worked for me in every single ROM I have ever used, including stock roms.
Since you got it used - the prior owner may have screwed something up. Done a factory reset yet?
Google play store has always worked on all my ROM's, sounds like something else is wrong.
Probably best to make a nandroid backup and change or reinstall a Custom ROM after the correct WIPE method of that ROM.
Google play store will automatically update to newest version 3.10.10 or you could download a newer version, but i'm sure that will not fix ur problem...
Best to restart with a ROM u know is new to your tablet...This will be easier to troubleshoot in future
and before your install ROM, wipe everything (except External SDCARD)
at this point all will be fresh and only problems will be with ROM (unless you have hardware isues), but you won't know until you change ROM
I recomend TWRP Recovery 2.3.3.1, not CWM

The play store works fine, you have something borked on your tablet.
Sounds like you prefer to return to Acer stock Rom. If so, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 and dowload the 3.01 EUU for the A500, (not for the A501), flash it in APX mode, go to Play store, update (like, at least 4 times) and you will be on stock Acer ICS 4.03.
Your welcome (for clicking thanks!)
Ok, so ive had my Xperia play for nearly 2 years and i finally decided i was going to install a custom rom, and the rom i choose is the Classy Jellybean Xperia play rom, how ever i am a noob, so far i have rooted the device and Unlocked the boot loader, so what do i do next, the only tutorials i find are for Cryogenmod and others but none fro Classcy, please help
im sorry if this has been asked before but i could not find the post
Hi peeps,
I know these plenty on theards on all this but they all seem to be outdated and not sure if they're all for the right device's etc.
I have already rooted with kingroot but not sure how to install custom recovery. All the youtube vids are in different languages.
So if someone would be kind enough to put a fresh tut on a custom rom pref android 5.*.*
Also the bloody memory thing is doing my head in. Ive installed app2sd and a few others and cant seem to get them on my sd card.
Thanks in advance and I'm sure others would be intreasted as well due to the price of the Blade L2 now. Got mine for £59.99 which for the specs is a bargain, It just can be so much better with the right rom on it.
Ive managed to install a custom recovery, not sure which one but seems ok. its not cwm or anything.
Just want the most up to date rom, also if anyone could list the handsets that roms are cross compatible with would be great.
Thanks once again
Hey guys
I have a dream.
In my dream, my device runs only the bare minimum in order for all its hardware work, without any kind of apps from samsung pre installed, any google garbage pre installed. software wise, I dont botter with customization. I really just want to have the system with everything it needs to work, a launcher and basic apps (open source), nothing more.
Ive tried running lineage OS 16, but fingerprint is broken, and I cant cryptograph the system.
Any clue in how I'm gonna do this?
Any guide of what cant be removed/ unistalled?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have an old Samsung S10+ which I havent used for years. Recently I found it and wanted to play with my GearVR. unfortunatelly I upgraded stock firmware to newest stock version not awared that android 12 stopped supporting GearVR. My bootloader is version 16 and newest version of android 11 has version 14. So i found out i cannot downgrade to version that can run GearVR.
Now as I understand have no other option than use some custom ROM. Could you recommend me one that does support GearVR? I do not care about carier/SIM (I wont be using it as phone) I do not care about anything else. All I need is system that supports Oculus and working WiFi.
Thank you
PS. Simple instructions of how to install custom rom are very welcome. I havent play with roms for 10+ years. Since then everything changed and I need to learn everything from scratch, all posts I find are 2 years old, are those methods still working?
