I present to you
03/07: KA21 Ice Cream Sony released & updated changelog in 3rd post
KA21 Ice Cream Sony
Please hit the thx button if you like my rom ​
Dear Ray users,
This rom is based on latest ICS stock fw. Unfortenately I have to stop development for Xperia Ray. The only one I'll keep updating is the one for Xperia Neo. Users which are willing to port my rom to Ray, Arc or Play are welcome.
The reasons I have to stop development here:
- I develop alone for 12 devices
- I'm focusing on 2012 line now
- I don't have the time to do this anymore
- Other reasons related to personal life (school, work, girlfriend, ...)
Thanks for understanding,
krabappel2548
Since I don't have a Ray and I'm bringing my rom to the Ray, please give feedback here about:
- Camera
- Smoothness
- Battery Life
- ...

Nope, sorry, if you read changelog you would have seen it I love the Xperia S stuff 2, but as long as sony hasn't made an ICS rom for the Xperia S it is very difficult, or maybe even impossible to port the Gingerbread apps to our ICs beta rom since we have no resources...
I themed the music app, and thing to xperia S style Like statusbarwidgets etc, Timescape is just the one from ICS beta rom

Damn, bad start.. I'm looking into it right now
Not easy because I don't have a Xperia Ray, but I'll try
EDIT: I'l look into the ICS beta rom for Ray now, think I'll just restart making my rom with these resources then edit my rom to Ray
Expect my new release before 7pm hopefully
