[Q] [Xperia U] Need help with choosing the best ROM for my device! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi guys I'm new here.
I have stock ics installed on my Xperia U which is very laggy.
I want a rom with the following features -
1) Working WiFi and BlueTooth
2) ICS (or jb too)
3) Smooth
No keyboard lags.
If you know such a ROM for my device, kindly link me to it please?
Thank you in advance.:good:

In my opinion, if thats what you only want bro, you can either use unstoppable JB or CM9

Download the Lite version (v6) these removes many things that just take up memory.
I've used it enough to say that meets your requirements,remember that you need to have unlocked bootloader

[KERNEL] Stock GB kernel for 6.0.B.1.184 with FIXED TETHERING!

Hi everybody. All who currently use (or have been using) Gingerbread on our precious U's
knows that there isn't any custom kernel for GB with working wifi tether. I'm aware
of GingerBeanSS where everything works, but CWM is integrated into ROM, rather than in kernel.
So, after some research I've managed to fix wifi tether in custom kernel
Features of this kernel are the same as one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064997
which is I believe in turn based on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688147
Additions made by me:
-fixed wifi tether;
-Busybox updated to 1.20.2;
-Superuser replaced with SuperSU (latest version, 1.91).
Without any further ado, here are download links,
one for the kernel.elf and one for the flashable zip (CWM):
ELF file:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/b75q4gco8ec5zgd/kernel.elf
CWM zip:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ms5uahhqyfmle4u/StockGbkernel.zip
I hope you will find this useful
Big thanks to @DooMLoRD for creating this kernel in first place!

I must stress that I'm just low-level "developer". I just tinker until I find the solution
But to my knowledge, I don't believe that this could be done for GB roms

I have tried every possible ROM for Xperia U. On every single ROM, there was something that bugged me, but on GB, user experience is unparalleled. Everything is so snappy, fluid, fast... Not a single hitch! All which I have to lose are newer versions of Opera, Chrome and Gmail, but I can live without those. Finally I can use my phone as phone, without call/SMS lags, while still using it as a multimedia device

I agree with you! I have tried all other roms, but GB is faster in general, in multitasking, in autofocus etc ...and so I came back every time !
I've ever thought that we need a better kernel... And you, maybe, point to this way!

Whoa, hold your horses I'm not that crafty and I don't have that much time on my hands (have to study for my exams), but if anyone is willing to add them, please, be my guest
Please upload your kernel source to GitHub, as kernel sources are under GPLv2 license you must share it

As stated in the OP, kernel isn't my original work, I just fixed and updated some things by means of tearing apart and putting back together kernels which can be found by following links provided in OP. I know that first version of this kernel was made by DooMLoRD.
Maybe I should put link to Sony's sources, since this is just a stock based kernel with added functionality?
I was afraid that someone would come asking this
P.S.
I am pretty noobish concerning android development, so I don't know my way around GitHub. If anyone is willing, he is free to upload it there

Hasselblad Mod on Rooted Moto Z

I recently updated my Z with a pre-rooted ROM, and now my camera crashes every time I connect the camera mod. Does anyone have this working, or is this a known problem?

Just a couple questions:
- You flashed the EU Pre Rooted ROM right? (the EU is the only one pre-rooted so far)
- Are you using an EU device?
- Did you factory reset and all that after flashing the pre-rooted ROM?
- Do you have other mods other than the Hasselblad?
U can't use the hasselblad in that version, the support is on a recent firmware.
Enviado desde mi XT1650 mediante Tapatalk
Ah; yes - I AM using the EU ROM... So, do you think I should revert back to the stock US ROM, and then just manually flash SuperSU.zip?

EU and US aren't on the same build version wise? The EU models don't support the Hasselblad mod?

Every moto z supports the Hasselblad obviously, but only on recent firms, because this mod came out after the launch of the phone.
U need a firmware with a compilation number 24.246-45 (the last number needs to be 45).

yeah i was on the developer firmware 8.8.29, i was able to unlock my bootloader luckily.
i dont have any beta account nor i am in the internal testing group. u just need to unlock ur bootloader, and then get twrp and misc.info flashed, as per instructed on the GSI ROM flashing guide.
Not aware of bugs so far but so far so good, performance bump coming from MIUI 9 and some UI changes which are much better and PIP works well as intended like in android oreo.
on a side note @sabar_op, browsing through the miui cn forum, seems like miui 10 8.9.5 is available already ^^
