New exclusive feature of Xperia sola - Glove mode:
ICS update lets you use Xperia™ sola with your gloves on
Using floating touch over entire UI
How it works
Glove mode is enabled by default in the ICS upgrade for Xperia™ sola, so when you unlock the phone while wearing a glove (or with a bare finger in the air), you will enter glove mode and Floating touch™ mode will be disabled. In this mode, both glove touch and normal touch usage will work, for example, if you take off the gloves. There is also a cursor ring shown where you press the screen with your glove, to help you understand where you are actually pressing the screen. To turn off glove mode, you simply lock the screen and then unlock it with your bare finger touching the screen and you’re back to normal mode with Floating touch™ enabled. - Sony

Observations/Issues/Bugs:
Wifi Signal seems to be a little weaker,gsm signal is bit better.
Floating touch is available in some games instead of normal touch.
Battery Drain.
Poor Ram management.
microSD is causing reboots and bootloops(for some users).
As usual touch screen freaks when charging.
Settings Crash when you open running apps(for some users).
Lags(for some users)
Wifi bugs.
Camera on Instagram doesn't work.

Click to collapse
Fixes:
For faster UI experience: Settings->Developers options-> Set Window Animation scale and Transition Animation scale to x5 or off.
Before rooting have backup using that backup&restore app,some users are reporting problems mounting to PC after rooting,so if you have similar problem,restore the back up.
SD Card Reboot fix:
Use System Tuner or any app and set SD IO Scheduler to "noop " instead of "cfq".

It is a humble request to everyone to please factory reset the phone after updating....It will really be worth it!!!
PLease let me know if I have got this right.
Running on custom ROM +custom kernel now.
To flash this ROM we need to get off both the custom parts.
To do that is to first relock the bootloader and then flash the stock/factory ROM.
Right so far?
And then finally flash the FTF file through Flashtool + factory reset.

So I would have to flash the stock ROM and then directly flash the new ICS rom?

Please do not ask questions about updating ICS here.
Anyway,just flash ICS ftf.
Just did a factory reset after flashing. The phone really does feel faster (or it might just be me) wifi signal seems to be a little weaker though, whilst gsm signal is a bit better.
if you want a faster experience do this should help alot
go into settings/developers options and scroll down and change window animation scale and transition animation sale to x5 or off will notice a big difference in opening apps

Thx! Try it!
Is there anyone who has tried this method to Neo?
Custom kernel only needed to hot-boot or can I flash it?
5. If you want to enable face unlock flash ICS gapps from CM9 thread
Known Bugs: cannot use front-facing camera for video recording or still photos. (who's care? you still can use back-camera)

So how are we supposed to use face unlock
@zackie012 :
are the steps (1 to 6 with all the fixes) necessary or only the zip file you attached does the trick?

MIUIv4 for Un/Locked Bootloader
Hi Guys.. This rom was made for both Unlocked and Locked bootloader.
UPDATE!! MIUIv4 2.7.13 - Changelog
"This is not OTA update!! " Use Titanium Backup or MIUI backup to backup and restore your apps (for those who come from 2.6.29)
Old Version:
Code:
MIUI v4 build 2.6.29 (Stable Version) - [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?i83cldnerc1c8a5"][I][COLOR="Red"]here[/COLOR][/I][/URL]
**extract using 7zip and then put in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup**
!!!!THIS IS NOT FLASHABLE ZIP!!!!
How to install it??
1. You have to be in ICS firmware.. .562 or .431 will doing good.
2. Rooted and CWM Installed (Don't ask me how ) (if you have unlocked your bootloader just flash sirkay's kernel or any ICS stock kernel with cwm included)
3. Boot into Recovery, do Full Wipe
4. Tap into "Backup & Restore" choose restore and restore the backed up rom.
5. Wait till it done.
6. Reboot System and enjoy MIUI on your Locked Bootloader
How to get rooted??
Check LBE Guard app and tap manage root permission>enable root permission
Screenshot see attachment.. Special thanks to xparanoidx
Thanks to MIUIandroid(for providing wonderful miui rom) and jjdoctor (for the awesome guides).
***I'm not a developer so don't ask me how to fix bugs***
ADD-ON(S)
Xperia S ICS Keyboard: here -- Just flash this via CWM
(screenshot see attachment below)
I install it and work perfect.. just change for JJ rom and you will find this ROM is so laggy but, so eye candy,,, everything work well!.. SS is the same as MIUI SS in the others thread.. I hope it will contiuned to update with the latest MIUI ROM.
happy flashing
At first, thanks that more and more devs make roms for locked bootloaders
Just few questions:
Where is the original version? Where can I see the screenshots?
Is it rooted?
After restore cwm must install again?
I'm on JJ Hybrid 3.1 with locked bootloader.

I use original file from here and ported myself. For screenshot you could see from iriijo's or other miuiv4 threads, it's basically same.
Yes, it is rooted. Check the LBE Guard app and tap manage root permission and enable root.
I don't know about reinstalling cwm, but i suppose it's same with other locked bootloader rom.
Sorry, i'm at work, i can't test it.
Does anybody have installed it yet?
I can't do it actually, i'm not at home...
OK I've just flashed it this afternoon on top of a nearly stock rooted ICS4.0.4 install. SO FAR, everything I've tested seems to work... the only issues I've had is learning to use MIUI ;-)
I'm keeping my old backup in case I want to go back, but so far looks good - only FC I have had was Google Account Manager when I ignored a permissions request but a quick reboot soon fixed that....
SO far, so good
Well, installed it, works good ! Thanks !
Maybe I should give it a try lol.
I try this.... I just install it..
working perfectly for me so far, even FM radio works
Downloading right now. Honestly, JJ's Hybrid 3.1 is sweet, but let's give a try on this one, 'cause MIUI is great.
Please, can someone post some screenshots?

Maybe you could flash xperia keyboard from jjhybrid thread (addon section). Someone confirm to me it's working.
Edited: someone else confirm to me it's bootlooping.. so make a backup first.
I will be the hero *o* i'm going to test this rom and tomorrow y put my conclusion and if it works for me i'll put screenshot c:
Thanks for your time to do the work n,n we need more rom's for bl locked :fingers-crossed:
Edit: ok i install it & run perfectly now as i promise here are the screenshot's, i notice a difference and it come's from camera i don't know why but... i see camera better than anyone it doesn't show noise and the quality is amazing. anyway my respects to miui creators but i love JJ's hybryd rom.
Wow, I have been testing this ROM for the last 15 hours and no problems at all. It runs smooth, great, and fast. I only got a problem with circle lockscreen, some delaying. But nothing else in the ROM was wrong.
But the most shocking thing is that the consumption of battery while I was sleeping (8 hours of sleep time) was... 0%!!
With stock and other ROMs, battery drained 5 to 10%, but not with MIUI!
If everything goes OK, I think I'll stick with MIUI for a while.
I'll leave some more screenshots:
Got a question: How do I mount as USB storage? I haven't realized on this ROM.
Im gonna try it when im @ home, but I hope its a good rom for me with locked bl

Can't mount USB Mass Storage using this recovery.
Is it normal or is it a bug? Using King's Rom at the moment.
Edit: Seems like it's this recovery bug, as I switched to an older recovery (5.5.0.4) and USB Mass Storage is working fine now.
I can get a good deal on a simlocked Xperia U, but want to use another provider.
Does this recovery remove the simlock?
THX.
Work on the .54 FW?
Made my day!
Just discovered that my Provider wants 75% of my XU's price to remove Simlock (may those [email protected])"%$/% burn in hell) ...
This one is the big deal for locked BLs, works great! :cyclops:
THX a lot!

Because you don't have sd-ext partition.

No. sd-ext is a partition for apps in your sdcard. If you make an ext partition in your sdcard (or internal memory in this phone) you can run apps from this. But we have enough space for apps, so we don't need to use it.
Ok, thanks for the clarification.
On other devices, I have not seen this error so I wanted to ask the author what exactly means, but if this is normal, and so it should be fine.
This is a FAQ for the ROM created by me and alokbina - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37247130
Q1. How to install?
Ans : -
0. Get root and CWM on .587 custom/stock rom. (Only locked bootloader)
1. Copy Rom on SD Card.
2. Flash kernel panic or any custom kernel. (skip for locked bootloader)
3. Boot into CWM.
4. If coming from V1 Rom, don't wipe data. Just wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.
5. This is compulsory - Mounts and storage-->format /system. If you are a new user, wipe data/factory reset , cache, dalvik cache, and format /system. This is a very important step.
6. Install Zip from SD Card.
7. Select the zip and install. In Aroma, SELECT THE RIGHT CONFIGURATION ELSE BRICK YOUR TOUCH.
8. At the end of installation, it will ask you to reboot the device. Uncheck that box and complete installation.
9. Then TURN OFF, do not restart. ( turn off by just pulling out the battery)
10. Remove sd card, battery and sim card for 20-30 seconds. Then re-insert everything.
11. Start phone and wait till it boots. ( If you get a bootloop, do a full wipe and re-install )
11.5 - Go to setting and force stop apex launcher and clear data.
12. Restart the phone TWICE just to make sure that everything is okay.
13. Enjoy your super smooth xperia nexus phone
14. Optional - You can now install small apps if you need it from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1929016
The small apps above are 100% confirmed to be working. You are also free to flash anything from the list of patches in the link.
Q2. When will it come for other MDPI devices?
Ans : - Just select the correct device and bootloader status in Aroma installer and you should be good to go.
Q3. Is this for both bootloaders?
Ans : - Yes! It work on both bootloaders. I have tested it myself on both. Just follow the installation instructions carefully and you should be successful.
Q4. What will happen if I flash a ST15i rom on any other xperia mdpi?
Ans : - Your touchscreen will stop functioning and you will have a mini-heart attack.
Q5. How to free more ram?
Ans : - Actually, free ram is ram wasted. But anyway - if you have any background apps running like facebook or dropbox, just go to settings and force stop them. As of android honeycomb, once a user app is force stopped, it won't start unless you manually start it.
Q6. I experience a very bad battery drain. What to do?
Ans : - This happens because of the disabled CPU rendering. Although it should increase battery life, I experimentally found out that without it battery is better. Anyway, just flash the attached adreno libs and your problem should be solved.
Q7. Wifi is not working...
Ans : - Go and check your respective kernel page for the wifi modules and flash via CWM.
Q8. Which kernel do you use?
Ans : - Kernel Panic for best performance. Battery life is okay. Approximately rate of discharge is 1% per hour.
Q9. Is this rom good for gaming?
Ans : - With Kernel Panic, I play almost all games with no lag. Temple Run 2, Dead Trigger etc. all run buttery smooth on stock frequencies. Overclocking will definitely help, but don't overclock too much as it will fry your CPU.
Q10. I need a system app which is not included in your Rom..
Ans : - Download stock .587 and place it in firmware folder of flashtool. Open the ftf with winrar and extract system.sin. Then open flash tool and go to tools--->Sin editor. Select system.sin and press dump data. Then go to extractors---->Yaffs2 and select system.yaffs2 file. Wait for the process and then you will find a folder in firmwares called as system_content. Go there and then go to app and take whatever apks you need. Don't unnecessarily create new threads requesting for some specific apks.
Q11. Is this and that mod compatible...
Ans : - Any mod that is for .587 should work.
Q12. I have locked bootloader, but it is laggy..
Ans : - Performance of your device greatly depends on kernel. As you have locked bootloader, kernel panic or any other custom kernel is out of option. If possible, please unlock your bootloader and use kernel panic for the real nexus effect. We will try out best to increase performance on locked bl.
Q13. What to do to fix all the bugs?
Ans : - For now please use any fixes that you find for the bugs. If it is compatible with .587 then it should work. We are working to fix the bugs.
Remember - ALWAYS FOLLOW THE RULES OF XDA

No. You will have to still flash the init.d zip given in the instructions. This issue will be fixed in the v2 of the Rom. Links have been updated. Mirrors added too.

uhm, ok
the installation went ok. made it successful.
at first it is laggy when opening the app drawer, i restart the phone still the same. i flash the adreno driver, and i feel it is improved.
other comments, theres no any file explorer app. i can't change the launcher settings.
good thing i didnt encounter any bugs.
i hope dont find any.

yea, i tried to play HD games,
i play Cytus, at first a little lag, but after sometime it goes well.
then i tried Temple Run 2, just like a normal playing less lag, and i also tried Wild Blood, it is smooth! thumbsup!
my only prob. is the launcher it is laggy..
and after playing the above games, my phone is hot.
Ok thnx a lot for ur reply.....launcher will be replaced as i said and the phone becoming hot problem isn't experienced by me.....still i'll check it and get the solution....

Sorry for the lag but it is not possible to have as good performance on locked bl as that of unlocked bl. Custom kernels are more important than custom roms for performance. If possible please unlock your bl and use kernel panic. Also, the drivers that you flashed are only if you experience a battery drain. Flashing it reduces smoothness as it disables the gpu rendering mod..

Hey. I have a problem with my satsuma. Bootloader: unlocked, wiped everything, flashed the ROM and the patcher, but I´m still stuck at the SONY logo. Tried both rage kernel and kernel panic.

No man its been the same , but i didnt try another rom so , but i doubt it is the cyanogenmod causing the problem since it always worked great, i just want to know if this is a hardware problem or software one.

If back button stops working sometimes, try opening keyboard(xperia or aosp whichever) and then try again to see if back button works or not.
If it works- it means your keyboard gets killed and as a result back button stops working or you have greenified keyboard or it occurs after you exit from heavy games. Try it

Steps:
1. Flash .62 firmware for your device
2. Flash rage kernel for gingerbread
3. Flash Real ICS R6 rom (choose the wrong device)
4. Reboot (don't pull the battery, boot it. If it's no booting for nearly 3 minutes, pull battery and go on)
5. Flash the stock firmware for your device
6. Touch should work now!

Real ICS R6 rom should be in your memory card
First flash 0.62 ftf file using flashtool program
Now flash rage kernel using flashtool program
Go to CWM, flash Real ICS rom...... but select wrong device e.g if your mobile is mini pro, select satsuma(active) as your phone
Reboot (don't pull the battery, boot it. If it's no booting for nearly 3 minutes, pull battery and go on)
Flash again 0.62 ftf using flashtool program
Check if touch is working now
If unsuccessfull, try other methods.. no choice:crying:
If all methods fail, then only repair the touchscreen. By friend also had sam problems but after such tedious process his touchscreen worked finally
