Source: Android™ Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM available for unlocked 2011 Xperia™ smartphone models
Official thread by Kalle: [ROM] Official Sony Xperia ICS Beta ROM for arc S, ray, neo V
As a follow-up to the previous alpha, Sony has released the official beta of the upcoming ICS update for 2011 Xperia models. Unfortunately, this beta is currently only available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray and they must be already running the latest firmware (4.0.2.A.0.42).
What's new?
Updated UI – We hope you will be happy to see that we have added a number of UI elements from ICS, as well as some new UI features already introduced in the Xperia™ S we announced in January.
Lockscreen and Face Unlock – We have added a shortcut to the camera directly from the lockscreen. Also, when you’re listening to music you can control the music player without unlocking the phone by using the music control icons on the lockscreen. In the coming final ICS upgrade, we will also include the face unlock app from Google for all phones that has a front-facing camera. The Face Unlock feature uses the front-facing camera in combination with advanced object recognition algorithms to provide a new way to unlock the phone. However, since Face Unlock is a Google Mobile Services (GMS) app, it is not included in this ICS beta ROM.
Connectivity turned on – Since we published the ICS alpha ROM, the GSM modem and FM radio have passed the certification and type approval, and they are therefore turned on in this ICS beta release.
Updated email client – The UI has been updated, and simplified email management has been added.
Quick dial – We have added a quick and easy way for you to make phone calls. See how it works in the ICS beta ROM demo video.
Please note that the Google Mobile Services (GMS) apps (for example Gmail, Google Maps and Face Unlock), Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi™ are not included in the beta release due to that they are still waiting for the certification and type approval to be finalised.
New link to a zip, which you can use CWM to easily flash. Thanks andy_dunlop

Well, it depends on the people who wants to download the zip. I myself like 'clean and official' builds.

Hi op, thanks for that um question:
1. If I install with cwm, does the beta default kernel needed? I'm using aire's kernel is that a problem?
2. Is rooting can be done with using rootxperia.zip from fxp?
3. Can we flashback to gb from cwm without touching kernel?
4. Andy, sorry if I ask you this, but just to be sure, what's your changelog for the cwm zip?
Thanks a bunch

Not working:
Framework-res.apk (the original framework-res2 dont work so MIUI apps dont want to run but with this framework-res2 run ok but the apps are not working)
Instructions to install
1.Download update.zip and put it on root of sd card.
2.Format data in xrecovery

If someone can fix the framework-res i think this will be good rom.
P.S:framework-res.apk and mot-framework-res need to be fixed but framework-res2.apk is working just to boot phone.
P.S2:To boot phone push framework-res2.apk to /system/framework/ (adb push framework-res2.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk)
JEEEE, good work.

Man I love you this! As Long as It doesnt have bugs and is stable, this is going to be my permanant ROM. Thanks
Alpha 0 but already with so much things working!
Is it ported from X10 Mini (Pro) or some other device, like HTC Legend?
Or, even better, built from sources and used jerpelea's libraries from github?
And, any ETA when it will be available for download?

Detailed instructions on how to flash FXP/CM ROM.
You must be on FXP/CM or stock ROM. Download FXP/CM ROM and kernel. If you have FXP ROM, just open X10FlashTool.exe. But if you have CM ROM, download my attached bundle and copy it to FlashTool firmwares directory, then open FlashTool. Now select Flash option and select FXP/CM kernel. Turn off your phone. Hold back button and connect USB to phone. Press OK. If no errors thrown continue, else retry. Copy update.zip to SD card and reboot to CWM. For FXP, press touchscreen on logo. For CM, press back button on logo. In CWM select "wipe data/factory reset". After that select "install zip from sdcard". Then "choose zip from sdcard". Now locate FXP/CM zip and select "Yes". Reboot and enjoy!
Progress made by people who are fixing FXP/CM.

*afaik the loader provided with falshtool doesnt work correctly. Also whoever uploaded new loader could you please upload it here too? i can't remember who it was.....
Im 99.9% sure this is correct.
I don't know, really.
I saw some people making it work deleting ANT+ files and using FXP028 kernel without OC or Blagus 030 kernel.
You should ask ponanovn for help.
Also, thanks for using my concept of thread, appreciate it.
But I can't help much besides of helping noobs or testing stuff.
Good luck!

Good luck friend
FXP is working on it for 7x30. They say that if they can fix for 7x30, it is fixed for 7x28, because it is the same for the both chipsets.
But if you can do it better and faster than they, why not do it? Good luck, i wish you a good work

Good luck! Should I add you to the list? Search HACKDROID thread first post and u will find an old Floyo 0.15 FM radio fix. You could see what files were added and replaced. But take files from newer roms like GingerDX.
You guys really should take XperianPro's idea of having an opensource ROM. It would bring the community together and we would have nice fast updates

Also, it would be nice to have a base Kernel (compatible with different ROMs) so we don't have so many combos, which make devs lives a lliving hell to check which ROM work (or not) with which Kernel...FXP 027, 028, 028OC, 030, 030 Blagus, 042, 043 Kernels and ROMs, plus linuxDX and all GDX.

Hey Keiran.
Firstoff thanks for the Upload and stuff.
You might want to add other languages though, or encourage people to link you to their localized version of MIUI to port and upload for the forums.
For those who don't know what i'm talking about : I'm on a German DHD ported MIUI right now. (yes i'm switching VERY frequently.. -.-) simply by downloading MIUI-Germany.de's ROM and using BlendMIUI Porting tool.
Works with other localized versions aswell.

WiFi fix was easy, I forgot to replace FreeXperia's with mine, so on boot FreeXperia's overwrote mine meaning WiFi didn't work. But I corrected the ramdisk so that now my WiFi module is there.
You needed help and I seen your post, so I started up this thread, and in doing so I started using MIUI, so then I also made a kernel for it too

thanks for taking the time out to porting this in our Play. Im a huge fan of MIUI

Darkforest ROM 3.1.0
Turn your R800i into an Xperia S with Darkforest ROM 3.1.0 GSM
Version 3.1.0 is GSM only and if you install on an R800x you will lose all phone functionality.
Download 3.1.0: http://icxperia.com/keiran/dfr3/DFRGSM3.1.0.zip or via DFR OTA
3.1.0 Changelog:
Code:
Darkforest ROM 3.1.0 Changelog
- Using 4.0.2.A.0.64 base
- Xperia S themed by FlamEmo - framework-res.apk, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, SemcSettings.apk
- Disabled ALS due to themed Settings app not showing disable auto brigtness option
- Added Xperia S Applications:
Alarms
Browser
Calculator
Calendar
Clock
Contacts
Email
Gallery
Games & apps (facebook)
Messaging
Music & videos (facebook)
Music Player
Phone
Settings
Setup Guide (needs resizing still)
Timescape
Track ID

Xperia S Themes (work like existing themes)
Xperia S Widgets
Xperia S Home
- Left all stock widgets there (eg. old timescape) incase people still like to use them.
- Added Xperia ICS Beta Boot Animation
- Left Update center for people on locked b
- Added support for New Darkforest OTA application with real updating
- Added Darkforest Tweak app for tweaking your device on the go
- Updated to latest AROMA installer, using ICS theme in installer
- Removed GSM Mods: Custom Home and Custom Theme, I don't think they are needed as you can apply them yourself easily, this saves downloading something you don't want.
Version 3.1.0 is in testing, and is using Xperia S applications, some issues are:
Code:
Setup Wizard needs either replacing or resizing
Timescape needs resizing, although I think it looks fine
There is a bug in the smart dialer, the * button, a bit of it doesn't show, this doesn't affect functionality.
If you like my work and you would like to help me save towards a university fund, please donate here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=4344506
If you are a CDMA user, due to old framework, some of the mods I have applied to the GSM version will not work on the CDMA version. If anyone manages to get any of the Xperia S applications running on the CDMA ROM, please tell me which ones, as I don't have a device for myself.
Download for CDMA & GSM 3.0.5: http://darkforestgroup.com/forum/index.php/topic,11307.0.html

The reason I do all this is because we are a small community and Sony Ericsson don't attract big developers such as LeeDrOiD and mike1986, so its easier to get to learn about people here. In the other sections I only have a few friends, here I have many
Plus, developing for the R800x is cool because there is nothing better than one upping Verizon lol

I'll gladly take a 2.3.4 ROM with 4.0.2.A.0.62 (as alternate to the 2.3.3s & 2.3.7s)
Keiran, i have to say, from a lurker's point of view, you are awesome!
When i first saw the name of the thread i was like "Is he insane? Does he have the time?"
But i'm glad to know that you're not, and you're doing it for both us GSM and CDMA.
Kudos!
Just thought I would mention that the only difference between the GSM and CDMA seems to be a few libs and a few build.prop edits
WOO! Thanks meter 500! Thanks!
Okay, so maybe it isn't as simple as I thought. But I am still working on it, and should have something done by today.
Even if I can't get the 2.3.4 ported to the R800x, I can do something else, but thats only if, I probably will be able to do something.
Can someone get me an R800x /system dump?

Best possible way to to do this (on your own) is get the original ftf, extract everything from it as a zip, use sin2img to convert the system.sin file to system.img & then use unyaffs to extract the /system folder from the system.img.

cheers.
might have to ship the CDMA version with 2.3.3, because I have been reading around and it has been said that the .145 kernel and rom are the only ones compatible with both GSM and CDMA
But still, I can try and get you some stuff for it, if I have to use the .145 as a base.
Keiran
Edit:
Seems that the 2.3.3 verizon stuff isn't quite compatible with the 2.3.4 stuff, either that or I just can't get it right...
Going to try a .145 base android 2.3.3 for the CDMA model, sorry peeps, shouldn't have got your hopes up..
But still, it is another ROM Maybe I can make some themes for it too, to help drown your sorrows?
Right, so someone is VERY determined to stop me from even creating a 2.3.3 version, because, I can not find the 2.3.3 R 3.0.1.A.0.145 FTF anywhere....
I was thinking, maybe I could base my version of this ROM on sharks UK rom? Because I am about to do what he did anyway
Ideas?

Thanks, but I don't think that shark will mind as long as I state that I used his ROM as a base for the CDMA version, to make up for it I will also add some themes too
Edit. nvm, got the FTF now
Edit2:
Ooh ****....
crapped up my updater-script and it backed out right in the middle of flashing /system, so I adb shelled and cd'ed into system then did rm -r / , I forgot that / stands for root and not the directory that you are currently in, luckily, I only had my sdcard and my system mounted, my SD needed a good format anyway and I was going to format my sys to install the rom.
thank god for not mounting data partitions :O

Glad you got it. Shark added a few things to the mix, so a fresh image would be best I think.

Yeah.
Admittedly, I've copied some of his Verizon needed stuff, to save me from extracting it all from an R800x FTF

Did you use the pure UK ROM or the VZW infused version to get that stuff from?

What don't work:
1.Camera/Bluetooth
2.menu/back doesn't have vibration.
3.No PIN/Pattern lock or systemUI will crash
4.Theme doesn't seems work perfect.
5.Permission Manager will crash if you want to run an root app which has not been set trusted in Permission Manager.
6.FileExplorer doesn't show all APKs' icon and can't browse /emmc. Check https://github.com/MiCode/FileExplorer to get my modified MIUIFileExplorer
7.'No Service' on notification bar.
8.Some ugly system app icon.
9.No flash in browser.
10.No chrome beta
11.Some useless settings.
12.No USB Mass Storage.
(Wow, too many bugs)

Hey uhm there is an app called: Blade Buddy. It says that it enables hardware acceleration, which is needed for chrome. I don't know if it helps, but maybe it's a solution?
Thanks btw. I've been waiting for a long time for MIUI and so have others (I think).

Here someone else also had this idea. There is a link to some site in the link below:

What's the difference between this and MIUI V4 Build 2.3.9 BETA2?

Well I flashed Part 1, It booted. The only is I think it's in Chinese and I don't speak/understand it :/ SO how can I translate this to english?
[EDIT]
Settings>Scroll to bottom click keyboad letter "A">Touch first option>Select language
I love this ROM personally. However...
The bootlogo is "flashy" and too child-like for me. I'd like to have a simple bootlogo with MIUI and it like glows or something. Is there a way I can do this?
Is this ROM compatible with the US Galaxy 5.0? Because I can't use my Home, Settings, and Back keys for some reason...

I believe noisyfox made a zip patch that makes it possible for usa to use intl roms and for intl users to use usa roms. Not sure though. You can find his thread in this section of the forum.
