omobone: Ok...I've decided to flash chinese firmware. How do I go back to the Nigerian firmware if I want to? I already have a nandroid backup of my Nigerian firmware. Will the recovery for the chinese firmware be able to restore that previous nandroid backup of my Nigerian firmware?

No you can't just replace the boot. Img in the new rom with that one from your nandbackup

omobone: I finally flashed the canvas 4 ROM. Thanks guys. These are my reviews...more coming up.
1. Antutu Benchmark: 13109 compared with 13679 of stock rom. But Benchmark scores is not a true test of performance sha. Will put it to test for gaming soon.
2. I noticed that my phone feels warmer than before...a lil bit sha
3. Better audio output. Thanks to Canvas 4 audio enhancement.
4. I noticed that the look away and pause feature doesn't work. Instead, clicking the icon in the video player crashes it(is there any fix?)
5. There is confirmed 3G in sim 2
6. When you edit the build.prop and change to E3, the Video and music player becomes disabled and refuses to play.
7. Radio, camera, everything works fine. Overall, the ROM is stable so far.
8. More review soon.

Guy I flashed that rom 3x to avoid being biased but no show the phone still empty your battery in half the normal time & if you open the camera app the phone will become a boiling ring

Thanks...so, there's no work around of flashing from Nigerian Firmware? Besides, can the recovery version affect the outcome of flashing? I'm using Recovery 6.0.2.8.

There is a work around go and wipe data cache dalvik cache format system and replace the custom rom boot image with the one in your nandbackup sdothat last step on a pc

The tts is Russian so if you like your phone talking to you in English you will not get it to happen but I have fixed that by installing Google text to speech engine

More Canvas 4 ROM reviews.
1. Front camera doesn't work. No wonder the video player force closes when you tamper with the "look away pause" setting. Even the video calling on Skype and any other app that use front camera will tell you "Camera is busy, close any app using the camera"

2. Battery life is poorer and the phone feels warm. Using android tuner, I could see that at any given time, 2 of the 4 cores are active when you view it in CPU manager.

3. Music player doesn't play smoothly. It skips when lock screen comes up . And sometimes , the lock screen will refuse to unlock.

4. The only thing I enjoyed in this ROM so far is the wonderful audio quality. If you love music, mehn e make sense die. Just make sure the "earphone audio enhancement is on".

5. Going back to stock ROM jare. I'm out. I will try Xperia HD v2 later this week.

I am on xperia v1. I find it ok. I just love the sony taste. I was about to have a taste of canvas but with this discordant reviews I think I will stay put. The only issues I have noticed is the charging icon is distorted during when the phone is off.
