Which one Is better?
Fast, Battery life and Nice? D:

I have only tried the official ICS beta (basically krabappel's rom), and I'm very satisfied with it.. Better battery life than on gingerbread and quite fast too.. I do get some redraw for the launcher (using sslauncher).
As I said, it I can't compare it to aosp ics rom.

AOSP ICS
Hey, I am using the ASOP ICS rom on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo.
I recently noticed that when I called someone, I was unable to end the call using the 'End Call' icon.
I just wanted to know whether you have experienced the same problem and how this bug could be fixed?
Thanks!

I try this two already...the speed is the same

I try to test battery life already...IceCream Sony use flight mode+deep sleep and after 12hours it be more 1%
And aosp rom didn't have animation bug with oc kernel...only can't watch video...

Every rom is different and suits differently to every user depending on the use you give to your device. That question is very subjective: what is better for you may be no better for me ... Also I dont see any advantage of this kind of comparative threads. Please search and read, your answer is already posted ....

for battery just go for void u can even try open optimus the coming built on sunday
try lol 1.4.2 easy to install and works great...for better performance,flash over dookmatt kernel
i'd tried open Optimus. then i flashed 2.3.4 ! itz gud! bt the battery issue seems to be bugging me :/
and as far as lol is concerned. . i cant get mobile data connection working on it even when i have proper access point!
I'd recommend devoid.franco, I'm using it now and it's working great.
I've flashed devoid.franco. when i overclock it to 729, phone random reboots(kernel panic?). And my quadrant scores are low, ~690.
And I can't even still post in the ROM thread to get solutions, until I finish 10 posts that is!
Try void with franco's tweak plus app2sd. Decent performance, decent battery life and lastly stable.
i'v added the app2sd functionality using kitchen!
and i couldnt find franco's tweaks. can u give me a link?

Yup, that's what I use and love it. Why would anyone use anything else?! CyanogenMod is the most used by far and therefore the most tested. Only thing I don't like is the ADWLauncher theme/personality they include by default. However it's dead simple to switch to LauncherPro. Just download it from Android Market and hit the home button and it will ask you if you want to used it by default. A much better theme/personality IMHO.

In the thread from Mik for CM7, it says something about shoddy bluetooth headset calls. How bad is it? That's the only thing holding me back.
iv also replaced ADW Launcher by LauncherPro.!
works like a charm though games lag at times bt i guess u can't expect much from a 10k phone

[Q] Clean and Stable ICS?

Hi, I have been asleep for a while now, so I was not watching the scene on 4.0 ICS recently. Now when I got my phone from second repair in last two months, I have noticed plenty of 4.0.3 ROMs, that seems to be more or less stable, with and without Samsung apps and so on.
Because it would take too long to check all of the roms and keep flashing reflashing modding, and testing, I got little tired of that now, and I dont have time to start studying how to cook my own ROM and do it. So I would like to ask you guys for help.
I am looking for some ICS ROM that would be as clean and stable as possible these days, which means, no samsung apps, no extra features, just clean android as close to stock from Nexus phones as possible. Dev should instead of adding new features focus on making the ROM as stable as possible.
Thanks for suggestions, as my signature says I am now on Simplistic rom, which is pretty good, but just wondering if there is anything even closer to what I am looking for you might see somewhere. Thanks for any suggestions
Official out in a few weeks... wait
Or flash one of many beta roms but may have a few bugs
And search ?!!?!?!? All your answers are already out there
I recently moved from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to AndyX Rom v5.3 which is based on Android 4.0.3 [XXLB].
Very good.....stable....fast...and good battery backup. You can give it a shot.
Official from samsung will contain samsung apps+touchwiz, which I hate, and same does Andy's rom, I have already tried his 6.0 version.

Did a nandroid of good old Hyperdroid. Im using andy's 6.0 version. Froze all the samsung bloatware and using the cm9 launcher. Been pretty smooth, widget locker runs like ass though so just sticking with Face Unlock for now.
Edit: Just needed to update Widget Locker. Working Fine now
Looks like you are already on a good rom. There are no stable roms yet.
I have tried almost all of them. I liked cm9 the most. Looks like it will be a rom which can be used right out of the box. But lacks some features since it is only experimental.
Wait for a couple of weeks, then you should have many stable roms to try out. Or in a month, or think we will have proper cm9

I'm currently on XXLPH and its been awesome, stock rom of course but i got rid of all the sammy apps and so far so good
Is with that one the vibration working for ringtones? On simplicity LP6 there are all vibrations except for ringtones... which is driving me nuts when using Instant messengers, where I dont want to miss anything, but tone is ridiculously annoying...

Edit: did anyone found out way how to switch off the phone waiting for second press of home button? it makes the phone feels lazy, when it waits like 500ms for second press, instead of immediate action.
hi there,
I'm using Westcrips LPH resurrection ROM remix V9.3... and really wow ! I haven't had any FC's or i haven't seen any crashes or something like that.. ? Its really weird because Android 4 is still under development... but this ROM is really ready for daily use !
Vibration with ringtone is within this ROM, You could delete the Google apps if you want bu using root explorer, The only thing that I've noticed is that the vibration don't works with notifications..
Ive already resolved that problem by downloading an app called: Sound Manager. And change the settings under 'Notifications' to Vibrate whenever possible.. And it works..
You should try that one

I've been testing the "resurrection remix v9.3 ICS black edition xxlph 4.0.3. full-wipe". Flashed it earlier today but I've had westcrips remix rom since v8.6 and it has some fc's but they are really rare and battery life is quite good. Also touchwiz has been removed and it has both trebuchet and nova launchers. Give it a go if you don't mind doing full wipe You can find a video of the rom from youtube or by searching android development section.

Not to be rude or anything...But is there a reason why this is your first post and you created this account in this month? Coincidence? I think not!
Promotion of your OWN rom? I think so!
Have a nice day!
ive been using this one for a bit, its worked out surprisingly well so far. still needs a few little tweaks but its surpassed my expectations (been on villainrom, checkrom, omega ics previously)
Pure ICS v6.1
The only thing I dont like ICS is battery drain. No matter what ROM I use, it drains my batt 1% every 8min when the display is on. I prefer CM7 and cant wait for CM9 to have its video recording fixed !

I havent experienced that at all, I had it go around 30 hours with 3.5 hours of screen on time and still had 30% battery life the other day. And there was a pretty significant amount of internet usage in that time too

use code *#9900# and disable FAST DORMACY and then see if your battery life gets better.. if you'd like to know what that is, check http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9191759/Fast_dormancy_to_improve_smartphone_networking_and_battery_performance_
I would also vote for "resurrection remix" I'm using the 9.0 version now with the xxlph kernel and beside a few glitches it has been very stable.
Has anyone played with CM9 - ICS firmware, it would be great to know how stable that is.
Im using the XXLPH - but I have been have slight problems with Wifi Scan, it doesn't seem quick enough, not like the other android phones I've used.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

IMHO, CM9 is the best ICS except you can't record video using the camera app. Wait until the devs get the source code. Other than that, this ROM is outstanding! I think next month is ICS month for all

Hi ,.
I'm experiencing some lag when opening the Contact or the Phone app on my SGSII.
this happens only the 1st time I open these apps, ...and only after upgrading to ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ

Any help please ?

Yup that build is not a stable release eve from Samsung. They did not even care to make it lag free. I dont think there is anything you can do about this. The release is messed up. Try using some other custom roms!

Upcoming ICS, Will you Update?

Ok dudes, Sony announced that the ICS upgrade may not be a good idea regarding device performance.
I know that I will not update my phone, since I don't see any use for it. Already tried ICS on transformer, and didn't see much reason to risk any performance issues.
Feel free to write your own opinion.
I don't mind the thing regarding device performance or its effect on the battery since I do not use the phone for gaming or something; just browsing/sms/calls/music/videos&photo and it lasts 24hours or more *am currently satisfied and using stock with no tweaks*. I like to try something new
i will try ICS
I will surely update to ICS as the web browsing is better in it and i mainly use it for calling and browsing
Performance issues are made up by sony. the miniCMsandwhich by Kamarush is running really well, everything is buttery smooth. and battery is really ok, too.
so if sony would put some serious effort into ICS, I'm sure they could make it run, I think they just look for an excuse to sell new phones and not put any effort in old phones.
although it doesn't look like sony will make a new keyboard-phone, at least i haven't read about any.

Do you know something about development at least? Sony has to put all the Timescape and xperia interface to it and stuff, Thats the main problem, is not just a clean rom.

It does not mean that sony has excellent or worse devs, they have to integrate other things like their xperia facebook sharing and other stuffs possibly including another new drm feature *yes it is minor* but they also have to ensure that it will be stable and good on our phone; remember ICS was built and designed for a powerful phone so it will take a while to port it to our phones; i.e. bugfree, stable and easy on battery.
There is already a thread with the same type of discussion...
As I said on that particular thread, all current ICS users (kamarush,exMIUI,CM9), what is your battery drain %/hour? Because mine with Spartan Rom is around 0,5%/hour with 2g only active, and in deep sleep mode.
IF Sony's 4.0 manages to have that sort of battery drain I will update. Until then, GB is more than enough for me.

I just heard that the official ICS update is postponed again, mid april for the first few 2011 xperias, mini and mini pro coming later, like end of may to mid june:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/products/2012/03/30/the-vans-around-the-corner-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-software-upgrade-coming-to-2011-xperia-smartphones-starting-from-mid-april/
I can see it's tough to put all those things in a ROM, and I agree on the longer testing period. At least Sony does release updates, we should be happy we don't have a SGS
mid Aprils is NOW!
Haven't seen anything about a released version for the Arc S yet, but it should be just around the corner. Let's see if Sony keeps the revised schedule.
I will update my SK17i as soon as there is a final ICS available. Let's see if it will be CM or Sony ;-)
Tested CM9 (RC0, 115) already and it looks promising. The BT media issue made me switch back to stock for now.

if Sony dont want to update to ICS our xperia 2011 for low end device such as xperia mini/pro, live for walkman etc. Why dont they just make it open source for our device just like beta for Play or Ray? They afraid they will lost customer but they already lost many customer. Thats why they use promotion for new device but same performance. Stupid strategies.
Xperia Mini and others are not low-end devices. First, specs are higher than some devices. Second, these phones are inside same as Arc, Ray, Neo. Chipset is the same. That means if ray gets ICS, then others can have it also.

[Q][LWW] CM7.2 Stable Review + Bug??

I need your review on this device?
what's working?
and what's not working?
Still newbie with bootloader unlocked.
Recommend me the best kernel and rom that you have tried?
Thank guys
So you unlocked bootloader. Why do not you report in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874 about your successful unlock, pushing more people to do the same?
Since you are saying its CM 7.2 STABLE, everything must be working, may be other than things that are not really required.

CM gets a meh from me. It's fast and light, yes but a lot of the stock functions are missing. You need to reinstall a whole bunch of stuff if you like the stock ROM. Walkman, trackID, 3D cam, pano cam and the notification toggles are what I miss most.
Used it for about a day or two then flashed other custom ROMs based on stock. Feels more at home that way..

On the CM website, only found changelog for general device, not say anything about FM radio and 3d cam fixes.

I do not think so. I am not sure but. You can anyways try.
The home and music player apks have dependancies on the stock resource apk. So chances are thin. But no harm in trying.
Thanks,

CM good music quality
I have used CM 7.2 for sometime.
It has good music quality(head phones since DSP manager is in place)
Battery life not good, stock kernel has less governers and IO schedulers
IF the updates makes it battery efficient I will switch to CM permenantly
Esp batter drain is too much when phone is idle(compared to stock or stock moded ROMS)

There's also Rage kernel for CM7.2.... It's extremely battery efficient

When in stock, back up with Titanium Backup. Then flash CM and restore apps
I know you probably know, just sayin'

LoL. Yeah, did that too but, ya know.. it just doesn't *feel* the same. I kinda like the sony extras.. I have CM on my X8 (or rather HAD, since my GF uses it now) and the "basicness" of CM makes it feel kinda empty.
Plus for CM is you can install just about anything under the sun and since it's already light to begin with, changing things like launchers ain't a big deal. I had 6 launchers once on CM just to get the right one haha
Just to clarify, installing stock sony apps on CM is major work. A lot of things won't run because of missing dependencies. Work on it enough and eventually *some* will work or you could just get replacement apps like Shazam for TrackID, PowerAMP for walkman, CameraFX.. you get the point.
Anyway, when on CM, use Rage Kernel for FXP. Way better than the stock FXP kernel. Battery life improves a lot as iONEx says. Just remember, Rage Kernel for FXP. Not the regular Rage.
Oh, and as at FXP125, Radio does NOT work
Thanks for the review guys
Maybe CM is not for me for now....
Miss some sony extra features, even the old entertainment radio
I have tried some kernel on stock ICS rom lately, then decided to stay on KRsH v3+ICS. Most stable and battery friendly, I think
Gonna test MESA kernel today...
MIUI

If you are 100% sure on Rage kernel I will go to it.. all other walkman ROMS are derived from stock..of which I like Hybroman 16 [GB] and MIUI by lassan [ICS].. n ma fav is CM...
Can you confirm that the rage is working with the stable release of CM...

Yeah I can confirm it. I used CM7.2RC3 with rage 2.9 for CM.
min CPU speed 250MHz I think it was, brazilianwax or smartassv2 governor.
0.5% per hour battery drain in idle mode

Yup, successfully unlock my bootloader Rick thanks again
Actually on dev thread, I only found changelog for cm7.2 RC.
It said that FM radio and 3d cam not work.
On the CM website, only found changelog for general device, not say anything about FM radio and 3d cam fixes.
Thats why I need a review about that bug...
Yup, it was light thats what I like about this rom...
Did it possible to use GB stock app on this rom?
What was work, and what was not work?
I just hate those ADWlauncher, will tried using xperia S mod home if taht possible....
Yup, I already know...but I prefer to add manually using ES file exp.
Feels like have more control on it

I second that. On idle, stock ROMs fared better in battery drains. Will try out Rage kernel as pointed out by someone..
