rooting means giving you administrator rights to Android.
Allows you to install programs and run services that requires administrator rights.

ROMs are images of the entire operating system (Android) including applications.

Maybe you should start thinking in proper English or whichever language you prefer, instead of short forms which makes me wonder whether I should even answer you in the first place.

1- get screen filter and follow instructions. (available in xda)
2- Rooting voids warranty. Don't do it unless you know what you are doing.
3- Arabic is not available in Android 4.0.4 as well.
First of all welcome to the community, greetings from Israel
Bear in mind that Rooting is not hard but can be dangerous.. If you root you can flash custom ROMs/Kernels/mods and so on (if you don't know what those are you can find the definitions by googling it)..
Hope you'll be able to get along ;p

U can't off the light bar. There no options to switch it off.
And one more thing, use Sony PC companion (pc software from Sony) and install it on ur pc, use it to update ur xperia U to android 4.0.4, latest firmware.

Surely before you install CM you read the CM faqs guides what works and what does not .
Even a google search would supply the answer camera does not work posted multiple times on here .
62 cm camera does not work posts enough for you its the repetitive fail to search questions that piss people off .
If you install a rom you accept the specifications of that rom .
