Hi all,
i am new to this great forum and owner of a neo v.
i used stock gb for a while, unlocked bl, rooted it and ****ed the system heavily up because i am a bloody noob
Then i tried CM9 and 10, Spacious ISC, Ice Cream Purness and Polish Blood JB.
Except for Polish Blood, i was not very happy with the performance of the Roms, but maybe that was just because i never updated to official ICS FW and still was on BB 64 (iirc, was for sure some 60ties BB).
Polish Blood is great (and exactly what i am looking for, clean, no imo useless fancy stuff) but as it is not maintained anymore and the last version is still too buggy for my daily use it is also not suitable for me.
Then i decided to go back to Sony ICS, so i relocked BL, flashed .431 FW via Flashtool (my SI is not on the list for .487) and did a seus repair.
So now i am on official ICS from Sony and the Performance is really bad (well CM9 or 10 was not really better tho).
As there is a whole Jungle of Roms out there, i wanted to ask you guys if you can recommend me a Rom/Kernel combination.
What i need/want:
- it should be fast, that is the most important thing, i really dont care about theme engine xy, window animations from jb or designs and wallpapers i won't use anyway. Tbh i preffer it if it's stupid simple and naked (i use OpenBox as WM on my pc...)
- Hdmi and 720p recording must be working
- as mentioned above, i like it simple and clean
Oh and i have two more question...as my neo v doesn't officially supports FW .487 would it be a problem to use a rom based on that fw and must i flash this FW prior to a custom rom based on .487? (in some install instructions i read that you have to do so, in some not...)
Thank you all in advance!

Hi, i'm newbie too, but I tried many ROMs, and I can say, that stock .62 FW with some modifications is really faster than all of custom ROMs, except CyanogenMod 7, but it doesn't have some features from stock (like keyboard, HDMI and music player), so 2.3.4 .62 is the best for performance and daily use) now i'm on .587 stock fw, it is fast too, but it have more bugs in games, than gingerbread. Happy flashing

Just for the record, there is an official update for my neo v to .587, although it is not written in the sony si number forum post and i did not get a notification on my phone...i just connected my phone to pcc because i wanted to check, if there is the possibility to backup /data and it told me there is an update available (adb backup don't work on my linux or windows pc...but that's another topic if it still doesn't work with .587, i just want to backup game data and stuff before i re-unlock bootloader).
So maybe there are other users here that could get an update and don't know about it...

that's good to know, i will try out a few more isc roms and if im still not happy, i think i will have a look at CM7. The keyboard is definitely much better than the one brought with CM, but i think it shouldn't be too hard to copy the APK over (if not, there are some good swipe-keyboards in the store), same for the music player, but i liked the one shipped with CM 9 and 10 anyway.
For HDMI, i read somewhere, that it is now working for the neo in CM7 but i have to check that again.

i used Pureness for quite a while (version 11) and want to give it another try, as i was not on .587 and BB 77 as ThilinaC writes in the install instructions.
The performance was good after reboot, but it slowed down quite fast. I know he writes that i should restart my phone once a day, but i don't like this as a permanent solution. With Polish Blood i used the phone for a week, and it was almost as fast as it was after the boot. But well the one is ICS and the other JB, i know (although CM10 was not really fast compared to Polish Blood)...
If JellySandwich and Ultimate HD become laggy after some time of usage too, i will go back to GB or just restart my phone every day

I tried it for a couple of days, and i must say the multitasking build is really fast, even after a few days without reboot. The only problem is, that i can't play games like temple run because it lags as hell (even with the games build), only after fresh reboot it runs smooth for a while. But as playing games is not so important, i might stick to that rom, just want to try out a few others before.
ah ok because I do not really react with the mobile games so no idea how to play it.
sorry for my english must always write only in German and translated via google leave.

Ok found JJ's Hybrid ROM and it is just awesome! Pure AOSP feeling without the bugs that non sony-based roms have (ie bad touchscreen) but also not the problems that many sony-based roms have (slow phone, contacts, etc apps). It is not as fast as some other roms and the app drawer lags sometimes, but it is still fast enough (after a few hours of usage, just after the first boot it feels laggy for an hour or two) and the pure aosp ui is unbeatable smooth imo.
So, great rom, i can just recommend it!

If it is faster than JS 7.4, it must be a great rom for sure. But as described above, i just love AOSP so this ROM might not be suitable for me just like JS and Ultima HD which i tried for a while...

If you're on a stock rom it's normal that your ray isn't smooth and doesn't auto flash. Sony (in my opinion and many, many others) failed to develop a good ice cream sandwich(android 4.0.x) update. My ray isn't smooth either. They surely added some great new features and improvements compared to gingerbread(android 2.3.x), but the speed, smoothness and so on aren't what they are supposed to be. If this realy bothers you, you can downgrade your ray back to gingerbread, use a custom rom or install some tweaks that improves speed etc. But to do this your phone must be rooted. Further i don't think there's much you can do
The absence of auto-flash is normal because, well, to be precise, our Rays only have torches which are either on or off. So basically when you want to enlighten your environment during picture taking the only option you have is to just turn on that damned lantern and blind everyone unfortunate enough to be there

You're from Bangladesh?
If you bought the phone a week ago, you should be using GB, not ICS.
Flash it to ICS and root.
And if you want it to be really smooth, use custom roms.
And Ray doesn't have a flash, just an LED.
I'm from Bangladesh too

From your last post, look like you know some stuff so I assume you're on techy side of wildfire user.
But the ICS 4.0.4 for Ray is official from Sony and it's run pretty good, there's no reason to stay with GB. You should try update to .587 before trying anything else, large chance there's no need for anything else but newer stock rom from Sony. Do the update as Sony instruction first.

You can add Custom ICS kernel (not stock anymore) + CWM Touch v5.5.0.4 Full-Working-Stable
I still have no idea why these post is not in your index? There is 2 links: first link is rom and seccond link is recovery... you can just add recovery (its stable and full working release including mass storage mode working(internal/extenal), some tools specially created for Xperia devices...etc - V8) if you not like rom! If you allready opened "things colection thread", why you don't colect everything for Xperia Go?

Hello all, I am a new Xperia U user. My parents bought me one on Saturday. I have some basic knowledge about Android as I was a Nook Color boy earlier...
Q1. Now I have unlocked its bootloader, and I have installed KASpeed ROM v3 and the KA Speed Kernel v 6.1. I initially had WIFI issues but I fixed 'em. Now the KA Speed Kernel is overclockable, if I am right. So could somebody please tell me how to do so (overclock). I tried many apps (setcpu, no frills CPU control) but all of them say my max clock speed is 1000 MHz only while the kernel promises 1.15 GHz. Help!
Q2. I have installed flashtool successfully and I can flash kernels using fastboot but I cant seem to flash .ftf packages using flashmode ( green LED mode). Whenever I try to do so it says " reading header file" and suddenly "flash aborted"
Q3. Is it possible to make a CWM flashable zip from a .ftf package. I have seen videos of some aIUP.exe or something, I tried but doesn't work.
Any other method?
EDIT= Q4. How do I turn off my LED bar in the Music Player? I don't see any such option in LEDs U CTRL app. So please help///
My Phone's info for reference-
Model - ST 25i
Android - 2.3.7
ROM - KA03 Xperia SSpeed
Kernel- 2.6.35.7 SSpeed Kernel
THANKS
I'm no expert in XPERIA U, but I have XPERIA P and I think will get much less complications if you update your XPERIA U to ICS first.
about Q2 it might be a driver problem..
and Q3 I saw some kernels which are flashable by CWM but I have no idea about creating them
Much more roms and tweaks are available to XPERIA U with ICS than with Gingerbread, you should update and than start customizing your XPERIA

Hello, everyone. I just bought an old Xperia mini and it is very slow (lagging so much) and I think an upgrade to Kitkat could help it faster but I am not sure about it and do not want to waste the time if it is not really worth it (newbie). So, could you help me with these answer?
1. How approximately fast (percent?) is the Kitkat custom room (carbon rom, pacman...) vs. 4.0.4 Sony xperia mini stock room?
2. How big is the custom room (typically) in comparison to the Sony stock room (My phone always notified me that there is not enough space to install apps despite the fact that I moved most of apps to SD card)
3. (Do not know it is suitable to ask) Which Kitkat custom room is the smallest size? I do not need to customize and my need is very basic.
4. Could I return to Sony stock rom (4.0.4) later if I want?
Thank you

1. it will blast you away. never thought it could be that good (Sony ics is very laggy:silly
2. ROM storage & data (app) storage are to diffrent partition a smalller rom doesent means really u will hav more space for apps, but:
a) never had space probelms with any LX build in apps (& yuo said your needs are basic)
b) u can use mount2sd or app2sd to put apps on SD to gain more space
3. if you say ur needs are basic use LX CM10.1 it has all the basic stuff & works great (better than kitkat bcuz there are many other problems due to lack of proper drivers.) mostly al other roms (PAC & carbon etc) are built on top of it or using as base.
4. yes you can flash a stock ICS ftf file via flashtool. software will be like out of the box.
give your phione some new life & try LX (or based) ROM. its the best at the moment

3. if you say ur needs are basic use LX CM10.1 it has all the basic stuff & works great (better than kitkat bcuz there are many other problems due to lack of proper drivers.) mostly al other roms (PAC & carbon etc) are built on top of it or using as base.
4. yes you can flash a stock ICS ftf file via flashtool. software will be like out of the box.
give your phione some new life & try LX (or based) ROM. its the best at the moment

Thank you for your very useful answer. But I wonder why I should not use LX CM 10.2 instead of 10.1?

its just something i would advice to you. you said you have simple needs & all fw (CM -10.1, -10.2, -11) look quite same, only KK CM11 is a bit more with eyecandy. also its the stablest one (best battery & best working drivers from all LX's) at the end its your choice
CM10.1 - stablest & best working
CM 10.2 - somewhere between those two
CM11 - newest

I just installed CM 10.2, it blows me away with speed, it's awesome in comparison to stock rom. Thank you very much, thank Dev team LX.:victory:.
