[ROM][ICS 4.0.4][27-Jun] Spacious, smooth and light ICS - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

In continuation of the highly appreciated Spacious, smooth and light Gingerbread ROM, I present you the ICS version!!
Works on Locked bootloader also as reported by FTW_260
1. What is so special about this ROM?
The main feature is 400 MB is free on /data for your apps!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the highest free on any custom ICS ROM for the Neo V.
2. How is this made possible?
a) This ROM has been ODEXed. Hence all dalvik files for system apk's are in the /system partition itself!
b) Dalvik-cache has been moved to the /cache partition.
3. Why ODEX the ROM?
a) ODEX ROM's load up faster the first time
b) ODEX'ed system apks do not create .dex files in dalvik-cache, hence size of dalvik-cache decreases. This is required so that there is enough room on the /cache partition for the dalvik-cache also.
4. What are the features of this ROM?
Based on official stock ICS firmware for Neo V
Rooted and busybox (latest su binary and Superuser.apk)
12 Notification toggles with QuickPanel app for editing them
Many bloatware apps removed
File manager (ES File explorer) added
My tweaks for better performance
UOT kitchen compatible

5. Where to get this ROM?
v4 - based on official ICS 4.0.4
Download (Mediafire - 164 MB) + [ Update 1 Neon OR Update 1 Blue ]
+ Supercharged services (Details here)
+ Optional apps pack
+ Optional Restore framework without onscreen buttons (New Link)
+ Optional Neo Patch <- NOT for Neo V
+ LED notification fix
(Supercharged) (Credits arcatarc and me)
+ Optional 7OH mods (skip tracks with volume + reboot recovery + more) See here
+ Optional Xperia S Mega Pack + Walkman fix [ Details ]
+ Optional Disable_Data_Disabled_Notification.zip
Want better battery life? See here
v2 - changelog on 2nd post
Download (Mediafire - 176 MB) + Offmode charging fix
Tip: Best if supercharged, steps here.
6. How to install this ROM.
Copy Downloaded files to SD card.
Enter recovery by pressing the back key when you see the blue light with vibration.
If you were not on stock/stock-based ROM, wipe Data is safer [ AFTER NANDROID BACKUP ]
Install the ROM zip.
Optionally install optional packs (open and delete whatever you dont want)
Reboot to you new Spacious, Smooth and Lightwieght ROM
7. Any disadvantages of ODEX'ed ROM?
The only disadvantage is that you cannot install custom themes on the ROM.
But, mind you, UOT kitchen can be used to change a lot of the UI.
8. But why not use Link2SD or Dalvik2SD?
It has its own problems, most important being io speeds from the card and problems when card is removed.
10. Credits?
hansip87 - for the status bar toggles
muzontnt and umarian for ICS 404 toggles - thread here
Sony - for ICS update ( and making wonderful firmware )
and all Devs etc on XDA for making custom ROMs possible!

Addons
UOT Battery + Themes
v4:
- Xperia apps + music integrated
- Supercharged services
- LED on message/gmail fix - [credits arcatarc]
- All previous goodness!
v2:
- Using modified stock kernel (better battery life)
- New tweaks, makes the ROM fly
- Supercharged services.jar (that means you can install supercharger script directly) - credits hansip87
- ODEX'ed for saving /data space and smoothness
- dalvik-cache moved to cache.
Tip:
- Only phone dialer lags (in all ICS stock and custom). My fix is to use another dialler. For me, Touchpal (mobile link) works without even a second of lag!!
v1:
- ODEX'ed for saving /data space and smoothness
- dalvik-cache moved to cache.
- removed many useless applications.

Downloading now.. will review later in the day..
Expecting it to be as simple and plain and airy as ur GB..
Keep up the efforts
Expecting no random or usb chargin/wifi battery drain stuff..
Thanks Shardul

Hey guys, I am on fully stock ICS, no root, no unlocked BL...
What to do to get this installed? Procedure guide?
If you can help PLZ? Steps by step...

I've installed your Rom, but Wifi doesn't even switch on. The button is like disabled
EDIT: I had Official Stock Kernel, flashed night-elf ics beta RC2 kernel and Wifi works
Please, is any way to make it work with stock kernel? I prefer that better than custom kernels...

You need unlocked boot-loader to flash Night-elf or Pwn kernel!! Without it, no init.d support!!

Yes, it is possible, but you will lose the benefit of Dalvik-to-Cache.. so it will be less spacious

Didn't try your rom, so I don't know if your rom need anything else than inid.d support from custom kernels, but if it's just that, maybe this can help you to make it able for people on locked BL
[MOD] Enable init.d scripts support on stock kernel

The dream come true , I didn't thought that you will make ICS! GB is awesome I'm using it since I've got my Neo, If your ICS is as good as GB then everyone this is the best rom Dude your are BIG!

I am trying some more tweaks.. Let's see how fast we can get this going

Performance tweaks added.. It is faster now, even at 1 GHz

ok i have tried the GB had some problems
Why dont you make a lighter one a clean one
Anyway i hit thanks and Thanks for your effort

Try the GB now, just remove apps you dont want..
Same for ICS, use Titanium to remove useless apps.
Personally, I have removed all Sony launcher widgets, Facebook, Sony store etc in my device, but kept it in my ROM, cause someone may want it.

Can you add some detailed description about perf. pack? What it does?
Also, have you tried Mod that Madfysh mentioned? Will it work for your rom?

thiss is nice and smooth..
BUT the swipe to kill running apps is missing... the major upate of ICS

Hy everybody!​I saw no one ROM which working with Stock Kernel. So I made one
IT DOESN'T NEED UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!!​
Mods/tweaks:
Based on LT15i Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 stock
Notification toggles added
Google Talk with Video support tweaked to work with data as well
Replaced the Default Launcher with ADW
New Kernel tweak optimized for performance
Automatic ZipAlign
Defrag SQL DB at boot
OOM Tweaks
GPS Tweaks
CPU Governor Tweaks
Android Internal Taskkiller tweaked
I/O Scheduler tweaks
Network speed tweaks & improvements
Removed lot of bloatware including FB Inside Xperia and all SE Widgets to make it lite weight
W7 PhonFonts
Zipalign apk for optimal performance
VM heapsize increased to 64M
MegaBass Tweak
Windows Manager tweak
Black screen call fix
Battery Tweaks
Themed Framework-res.apk
Battery % closed to stock
SD card speed tweak

Lot of new Build.prop Tweaks added
Mini Only: Modified hw_config to increase maximum backlight, and avoid the screen flickering error - without disable ambient light sensor.
Some tweaks only work with Custom Kernel! I tested everything with my friend's kernel, and it works fine! So I recommend to use with KrSH kernel!
Installation:
0.) If you have stock kernel: Get ROOT and CWM for your ROM.
1.) Download the ROM, and extract it to your Memory Card. If you have Custom kernel, you only need to copy the Update.zip.
2.) Restart your phone and get into CWM.
3.) Make a backup of your current ROM!
4.) Go into mounts and storage, and make format /cache, format /data and format /system. Go back, and go into Advanced, and make an Wipe Dalvik Cache.
5.) Go back to CWM Main Menu, and select apply update from sdcard.
6.) Now install the addons, if you want.
7.) If you finished with this, restart your phone TWICE!

Just flashed your rom .. Luv the remodified notification bar
thnks alot
@expeacer
How does the phone wakes up for you when pressing the power button(when screen is locked)?
xperia mini
Wishlist:
The Led notifications are too dim even for charging, can you add tweaking led notifications just as in CM.
Add File Manager
Thank you so much for the ROM.
But lights, I mean back & menu key lights don't glow.
xperia mini pro, your ROM with KRsH kernel.
hi,no chinese language in .how can i add to it?
Your rom's great. Everything's fast and the boot animation is amazing.
But Lights don't glow(keyboard, back and menu) in mini pro. And the notification LED is too weak. Please fix these (I'm not pushing you). Thanks, you're the man. I've been waiting so long for a rom on locked bootloader. I don't want to unlock as the stock is not very bad, so the risk isn't worth.
To get back to stock, can I just restore my last backup? And is it necessary to install recovery 'at step 6' again or can I do it afterwards?
YES please fix the lights.

i rooted with easy rooting toolkit like before and nothing...

[ROM][Neo/V][GB] [Not maintained] Spacious, smooth, light 0.62 [06-Apr-12]

For my ICS ROM, go here -> t=1603919
1. What is so special about this ROM?
The main feature is 390 MB is free on /data for your apps!

This is the highest free on any custom ROM for the Neo V.
2. How is this made possible?
a) This ROM has been ODEXed. Hence all dalvik files for system apk's are in the /system partition itself!
b) Dalvik-cache has been moved to the /cache partition.
3. Why ODEX the ROM?
a) ODEX ROM's load up faster the first time
b) ODEX'ed system apks do not create .dex files in dalvik-cache, hence size of dalvik-cache decreases. This is required so that there is enough room on the /cache partition for the dalvik-cache also.
4. What are the features of this ROM?
Based on stock .62 firmware for Neo V
Rooted and busybox (latest su binary and Superuser.apk)
12 Notification toggles with QuickPanel app for editing them.
Zipaligned (and script)
All included apps updated to latest version.
Many bloatware apps removed (see the attached list, i can post them on request)

7. Any disadvantages of ODEX'ed ROM?
The only disadvantage is that you cannot install custom themes on the ROM.
But, mind you, UOT kitchen can be used to change a lot of the UI.
8. But why not use Link2SD or Dalvik2SD?
It has its own problems, most important being io speeds from the card and problems when card is removed.
9. Any reviews?

If it need Nightelf's kernel doubt it will work,afaik any custom kernels need unlocked boot loader.
Anyway rom looks nice(390mb internal storage ),if can from next version please add Xperia S apps and graphics I'll definitely move permanently.Gonna try this tomorrow after MIUI official beta

But, mind you, UOT kitchen can be used to change a lot of the UI.
8. But why not use Link2SD or Dalvik2SD?
It has its own problems, most important being io speeds from the card and problems when card is removed.
9. No donate button?
You wont find that on any of my threads.
And also, this is my daily driver ROM, made for me. I am just sharing it with the hope that it will be useful to somebody else.
Also, all credits to the kernel dev and all those who made custom ROM's possible!
question sir, it the same on 420mb data tweak (by flashing method) or is it better/larger?
This ROM is good, but when I flash this 10 in 1 statusbar widget it FC status bar and systemui.apk
In thread is that this status bat working on stock .42 and .62. I was using it normally on .42 fw.
I like it, because there is 2G/3G toggle button.
Must it be deodexed first to use on this rom?

Sorry for not clarifying in the OP. You'll get 390 MB free if you use the 420 MB data tweak. If on the default 380 MB data partition, you'll only get 350 MB and not 390 MB.

12-in-one status toggles already in-built in this ROM. To change that, you'll have to de-odex.

System apps updates
What happens when a system app gets an update?
The dalvik-cache needs to be rebuild and goes to app data partition?
I can re-send it back to the system with Titanium Backup Pro?
Thanks.

[ROM][ICS 4.0.4][27-Jun] Spacious, smooth and light ICS {More mods added}

In continuation of the highly appreciated Spacious, smooth and light Gingerbread ROM, I present you the ICS version!!
1. What is so special about this ROM?
The main feature is 400 MB is free on /data for your apps!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the highest free on any custom ICS ROM for the Neo V.
2. How is this made possible?
a) This ROM has been ODEXed. Hence all dalvik files for system apk's are in the /system partition itself!
b) Dalvik-cache has been moved to the /cache partition.
3. Why ODEX the ROM?
a) ODEX ROM's load up faster the first time
b) ODEX'ed system apks do not create .dex files in dalvik-cache, hence size of dalvik-cache decreases. This is required so that there is enough room on the /cache partition for the dalvik-cache also.
4. What are the features of this ROM?
Based on official stock ICS firmware for Neo V
Rooted and busybox (latest su binary and Superuser.apk)
12 Notification toggles with QuickPanel app for editing them
Many bloatware apps removed
File manager (ES File explorer) added
My tweaks for better performance
UOT kitchen compatible
|
|
5. Where to get this ROM?

Want better battery life? See here
v2 - changelog on 2nd post
Download (Mediafire - 176 MB) + Offmode charging fix

Tip: Best if supercharged, steps here.
6. How to install this ROM.
Copy Downloaded files to SD card.
Enter recovery by pressing the back key when you see the blue light with vibration.
If you were not on stock/stock-based ROM, wipe Data is safer [ AFTER NANDROID BACKUP ]
Install the ROM zip.
Optionally install optional packs (open and delete whatever you dont want)
Reboot to you new Spacious, Smooth and Lightwieght ROM
7. Any disadvantages of ODEX'ed ROM?
The only disadvantage is that you cannot install custom themes on the ROM.
But, mind you, UOT kitchen can be used to change a lot of the UI.
8. But why not use Link2SD or Dalvik2SD?
It has its own problems, most important being io speeds from the card and problems when card is removed.
9. Why is "Premium" in the title?
Because there is no re-branding.. The about screen is exactly like stock ROM - no strange names there
10. Credits?
hansip87 - for the status bar toggles
muzontnt and umarian for ICS 404 toggles - thread here

Email app not check mail automaticaly, Email app from GB doesn't work (unlike other ICS versions) and I use K-9 mail instead of stock Email app
The gingerbread rom is AMAZINGLY smoooth, i think its to do with sony that this rom is not as smooth. it is still pretty smooth but not as good as cm9
Updated, please test and give your feedback!
what is adb_clean_all do?
ooppss...sorry,i miss read instructions...
tq sir shardul...brilliant,cool aroma and all of options to fill everyone taste.....and me,of course amarullz..
great job...:thumbsup:
Patch
Update:
Sorry guys, but there is a small bug in the installer (aroma)
If you select any option other than Dalvik2Cache, you may get a bootloop.
If you have no problem, you do not need to download this patch.
I do not want to upload the whole ROM again. So I have made a patcher for the ROM Update zip..
Just extract the patch files and run "Run_me.bat" -> Drag and drop the ROM zip on the window -> The ROM zip is updated -> Flash the zip now..
Thanks for understanding!

What do you mean?
ROM from S3V3N always been very energy efficient and cost effective. I personally use since he showed his works at FORUM android.com.pl
It may not always writes in his work from someone taking modifications, or scripts, but they are forgiven him: D
I recommend! stability, well-chosen scripts (no bends) and, as always, is effective as a whole visual look.
BTW. One surprise me that he does not want to put the subject here and share with you their work. You have to respect that he allowed to share, come on I can do on his behalf.

Hi,
before installing the rom, have I to wipe all?
after installing the rom, I simply restart the phone?
at the moment didn't install, I heard that there are a few reboots.
