[help me!!] choose my rom - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Ok, i was very happy with my X-gamer 2.0 GB rom, even getting that "package file is invalid" error i found a thread here in xda telling how to fix this (create a 2nd partition on sd card and use link2sd to link apps data cache to this partition), but sudenly some of my apps couldn't be found anymore, including rootexplorer and google play. So i restored a CWM backup and the problem presisted (even that the backup wasn't having this issue before), so i decided to change the rom to AtoMic 7.0 GB.
Now i'm getting the "package file is invalid" error like X-Gamer rom and i don't want that anymore. I deleted the 2nd partition and now i want a GB rom that doesn't get this error. Something that both roms have must be causing this.
So, which GB rom (i want one fast, for gaming without lag) i can use that doesn't have this issue??
Here is the solution thread:

Well, i just tried Gin2Jellybean and i got the same error. Do you have a partition on your sd card? How much apps do you have installed? Where is your apps cache saved?

That's why you don't get the error, you don't have enough apps. If you had like 90 or 100 apps you would have the same error and would be needed to link the cache in this partition...
This sucks, but i think is the only way to use good GB roms...

Why not try ICS?
Hey I know you're looking for only GB roms. But why not take a look at the XPERIA HD rom? Those are pretty neat and really fast for gaming. (At least my old phone did), it runs on stock ics too if you want. Or else you could try Ice Cream Pureness (but development slowed to a stop for that one I believe)

Interesting, i've never thought of that So you could switch (i.e. wait for all the eternity for Nandroid to restore your backup of desired rom/os) between two roms, and that would work ? But your kernel stays the same, right ?
can we store the 2nd rom in our 2nd SDcard partition??
coz as i know, we can link our app to there..
who knows that it might work as well withh rom..
thankz..

Link2sd

I have realics lite rom with mesa 1.8 kernel ...i partitioned my sd to ext4 ..
whenever i link apps to my sd card ..it shows android upgrading on boot ..
really frustrating
anybody help?
My opinion you should use ext 2 for link your application..
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using XDA
That is normal to have 'android is upgrading' message. Doesn't matter if using ext1234. That message usually appears after turning off, not reboot, or after install n flash some apps.

if u familiar with installing cm9 or cm 10.. i think it can be done.
http://www.mediafire.com/?f7a0bd0u897ggdv this the rom package kernel is inside zip
-extract kernel from zip
-put zip package to sdcard
-flash the kernel via fastboot/flashtool with fastboot mode
-get in to recovery mode (cwm recovery)
-format data/default factory, clean cache and dalvik
-flash the rom
-then reboot
-set wifi on then
-flash gapps in recovery
what work doesnt work see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803076 except usb storage not full implement.

PA setting is about taste, I can't give u good recommend, I'm use tabletui for status bar with some app on phone ui, with 160 DPI on system DPI, some like phablet ui, and other stick on phone ui, if you give ss or layout you want, maybe i can figure the setting.

I wish I could tell you what kind of layout I want but I am absolutely cluesless! I was happy with the UI in your AOKP ports. I play around with PA settings and the icons become sooo small and sometimes tooo big. Plus my exams are on the way so I can't play too much with my phone.
But was with you guys from start of AOKP JB and till PAC V5.. Now, plain ol FXP 142. Will rejoin the PAC army after exams. Please keep up the outstanding work you have been doing!

Recent Apps
Is it just me or is anybody else also facing this issue? I freshly formatted and installed PACman V6.5. Right after install, long press of home button shows the list of recent apps. Then after going to AOKP settings and disabling the unwanted toggle buttons, long press of home button doesn't show recent apps anymore. Only makes the status bar disappear for 5 seconds.
Even tried to reenable the toggle buttons in AOKP settings. Still it doesn't show the list of recent apps. The only solution is to reformat and reinstall the ROM.

Hi Kormatoes,
Somebody in the development thread also replied that the recent apps is not working. I have been experimenting with the ROM and found that (with Titanium Backup Root) that the System ROM partition has 0B free. That seems to be the issue.
I have removed few apks from the zips (Apollo, GMail, Youtube, TTS files except English, Thinkfree and TTS from GAPPS) and reflashed it. Now, system ROM is 4 MB free and no more problems.

Here's how I flashed. I was using FXP CM9 earlier-
1. Fastboot flashHallon.img
2. Reboot into recovery (graphic glitch) and wipe data/factory reset. Also wipe cache partition.
3. Mounts and storage -> Format /system and format /cache
4. Install Pacman zip.
5. Reboot and turn Wi-Fi on.
6. Reboot and install GApps.
I have 327 MB system partition (as seen in Titanium Backup Root).
PACMan v.6.5 build date Sun Oct 14 (about phone).
GApps - gapps-jb-20121011-signed.
EDIT: After deleting the TTS files, now Voice won't work I thought it would download the TTS files to data partition)
Finally got voice working
I copied back files from gapps zip to system/tts and now voice is working fine. Also uninstalled Talkback.
Now everything is working buttery smooth, except that system partition has just 2 MB left. But no problems with ROM.
I wonder how Kormatoes got 60 MB free in system. What might I be doing wrong? Perhaps it is because I am using latest version of GApps? The size of this GApps is ~85 MB.

Saw the thread. Everybody says ~100 MB free RAM, which is correct.
As for the system partition, people say 15 MB, 4.20 MB, etc. One user says 60 MB free out of 400 MB system partition, which means ROM takes 340MB and for me, as I have 327 MB system, it gets full.
Is there any way to increase my system partition from 327 MB to 400 MB?
Thanks.
---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------
Just made one discovery. The difference is due to the model of the phone-
Neo = 327 MB system partition
Neo V = 400 MB system partition
Size needed to comfortably flash this ROM ~ 340 MB.
So people flashing this ROM to Neo V will have no problems but people having Neo will exhaust their system partition.
In one another thread, says it is possible to flash the ftf files from Neo V to Neo and increase system to 400 MB. However, I am reluctant to do that at the moment, as not sure if there are any side effects or if the process is reversible at all.
For me, solution at the moment is to trim down the ROM and install it. Works like a charm
Hows gaming? And how much free ram?

Strange issue...ever experienced before??

I installed xperia ultimate HD in my neo v and it went well for few days.
Later I was trying to send a file using es file explorer.. and my phone restarted.. I tried clearing cache and dalvik cache but didn't help..
So I thought there was some problem in the ROM so I installed revolution ICS by devjaskirat.. and had the same problem in this ROM also...
I quite confused and scared to send a file using Bluetooth...
Any suggestions...

Try to use stock bluetooth apk ! Copy from stock to system/app and set permission to rw-r-r ! :good::angel: If that still the problem persist then it''s mean that your phone''s bluetooth is .............:angel:
Me Too!!!
me too have somewhat same issue on my neo v on Jelly Sandwich 9.0 whenever i turn on my bluetooth phone restart but didn't go to sony logo keep restarting from Jelly Sandwich Logo means u cant enter cwm
i have to remove battery and clear dalvik cache and it works
But it happened for me 4-5 times from then o nothing went wrong
Yeah I experienced it in many ROMs...
I don't understand how to solve it..
I tried clearing dalvik cache and cache partition ...but didn't help ..xperia logo comes up but doesn't boot...so I had to restore the backup again....
I don't think any hardware is damaged... (hopefully)
It would be great help if someone can suggest a solution...
