Hi fellas,
I am running ICs since last month and now I'm really irritated with the laggy UI of ICS, i wanted to go back to GB, but can't find any rom except RayOnium GB V7..?
When ICS is laggy on our device and its a hardware problem, why all developers are still working on ICS romz, why not a good proper GB ?
And please also tell me abt a good GB rom ?

yes I see some lag/glitch and freeze too, but all is just minor and not a single serious one that affect my experience and drive me frustrating. And I'm willing to take some lag with great battery life, my friend's LG optimus 3D run everything smooth like butter but half day away from wall charge is too much for it.
May be you're more sensitive with those lag than everyone else?
uhhh... yeah... to a certain point you're correct
but i've been using the official rom now but i haven't got lag since I've rooted, and installed busybox and recovery on it, although I've yet to test wifi
Have you tried JJ's hybrid? or stock GB?
Bro i had an optimus 2X earlier, it ran CM9 butter smooth thats why i bought ray considering that it's gonna gt an official ICS update, bt i forgot that ICS is dual core based OS !!

Despite the off-rule topic, I will throw in my two cents.
+infinity for Gingersnap 1.3
Hands down the smoothest, fastest ROM I have ever tried for my humble P500. Combined with DJNoXD's kernels (I prefer TA touchscreen fix and vsync off) and it puts the P500 at the pinnacle of performance and stability for this current time IMO.
As said 1000 times before, there's no need for threads like this.
To find the best suitable ROM for your device, try the ones available and stay on the ROM you think works best on your phone.

HeHappy had created a ROM based upon CM9 taking the development further from Lupo. The rom is very stable, has functional camera, I have been using it for months now and am really satisfied with it. It used to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614420
however the forum is now closed. Try searching around for the rom though, with a bit of effort you should be able to find it. It was one of the most beautifully running ICS rom around. it was Hehappy's masterpiece and I only have high praise for his work.
Question: was HeHappy's mod ever ported to the rest of the Optimus line? I have an LS670, and would LOVE to try it out.

After trying out many custom roms I have decided to try and make a performance test and see how custom roms perform relative to Samsung stock rom.
It is a stock XWLPX ROM with Dorimanx kernel.
To be honest the stock Rom is my primary Rom and all custom time where run as secondary.
Custom Rome include BluRom V5, NeatRom 3.3, Sensation 4.1, insanity ii ICS and JB. I excluded Custom Stock 2 and punisher since they were lagging to begin with.
The test wad done using CF-BENCH and wad performed right after a clean install except for the stock that had my full apps array installed.
Since the primary and secondary roms share the same kernel, the all tested with Dorimanx 5.80.
The results are that the stock outperformed all of them by quite a distance.
The most quick of the custom were the BluRom and NeatRom.
The custom roms averaged at these results 10150,3000,6100 the stock Rom averaged at 12500,3400,6440.
I do not know if the fact that they were run as secondary roms has something to do with the result, maybe someone that understands the underlying mechanism can comment on that, but that's it.
Nevertheless the customs had some advantage over the stock in styling and appearance when my favorite is the Bluarom V5.
Your opinions, experience is much welcome.
I will try some others in the future if anybody will find interest in this.

In my experience JB roms are not so good yet and their biggest problem is the memory leak that cause the phone to lagg big time unless you reset it once a day or two.

I never understood the stability or reliability of benchmark results, but maybe there are. The thing is, even if the results were way better in custom ROM I'd never give a damn about it and keep using stock ROMs.
Anyway, thanks to you for doing the comparison.

Bluetooth works - but not with music using loudspeaker
Hello friends,
I've just yesterday instaled the BluRom V5 by Blur75 ... IT IS AMAZING ... in my opinion )).
So tadoy when I was triyng to conect to my bluetooth car sistem (parot CK3100) is everything working OK - I mean it conects and I can talk over the phone witout problem.
The thing that does'nt work is the when I try to play music or even a video in my phone - and hear it over the car loudspeaker. In this case it is not transmitting the sound ((( .
Before I've had the 2.3.6 Gingerbread and using the app "Supermono Froyo" without a single problem :good:...
So somebady can help me with this -
THANK A LOT IN ADVANCE

Update
Chamileon 1.3 got good results much like Blurom and neatrom which means it also does not beat the Samsung stock.
I also did a test using a xwlpu stock deodexed rom as my secondary rom and it got results a bit better then the custom roms but not as good as the stock xwlpt rom which is odexed rom.
My conclusion is that most of the performance difference comes from the fact that all custom roms are deodexed. Maybe one of you devs can create the exact same rom - lets say chamileon - odexed abd deodexed and I will test both and report back with the results.

Hi all,
i am new to this great forum and owner of a neo v.
i used stock gb for a while, unlocked bl, rooted it and ****ed the system heavily up because i am a bloody noob
Then i tried CM9 and 10, Spacious ISC, Ice Cream Purness and Polish Blood JB.
Except for Polish Blood, i was not very happy with the performance of the Roms, but maybe that was just because i never updated to official ICS FW and still was on BB 64 (iirc, was for sure some 60ties BB).
Polish Blood is great (and exactly what i am looking for, clean, no imo useless fancy stuff) but as it is not maintained anymore and the last version is still too buggy for my daily use it is also not suitable for me.
Then i decided to go back to Sony ICS, so i relocked BL, flashed .431 FW via Flashtool (my SI is not on the list for .487) and did a seus repair.
So now i am on official ICS from Sony and the Performance is really bad (well CM9 or 10 was not really better tho).
As there is a whole Jungle of Roms out there, i wanted to ask you guys if you can recommend me a Rom/Kernel combination.
What i need/want:
- it should be fast, that is the most important thing, i really dont care about theme engine xy, window animations from jb or designs and wallpapers i won't use anyway. Tbh i preffer it if it's stupid simple and naked (i use OpenBox as WM on my pc...)
- Hdmi and 720p recording must be working
- as mentioned above, i like it simple and clean
Oh and i have two more question...as my neo v doesn't officially supports FW .487 would it be a problem to use a rom based on that fw and must i flash this FW prior to a custom rom based on .487? (in some install instructions i read that you have to do so, in some not...)
Thank you all in advance!

Just for the record, there is an official update for my neo v to .587, although it is not written in the sony si number forum post and i did not get a notification on my phone...i just connected my phone to pcc because i wanted to check, if there is the possibility to backup /data and it told me there is an update available (adb backup don't work on my linux or windows pc...but that's another topic if it still doesn't work with .587, i just want to backup game data and stuff before i re-unlock bootloader).
So maybe there are other users here that could get an update and don't know about it...

that's good to know, i will try out a few more isc roms and if im still not happy, i think i will have a look at CM7. The keyboard is definitely much better than the one brought with CM, but i think it shouldn't be too hard to copy the APK over (if not, there are some good swipe-keyboards in the store), same for the music player, but i liked the one shipped with CM 9 and 10 anyway.
For HDMI, i read somewhere, that it is now working for the neo in CM7 but i have to check that again.

i used Pureness for quite a while (version 11) and want to give it another try, as i was not on .587 and BB 77 as ThilinaC writes in the install instructions.
The performance was good after reboot, but it slowed down quite fast. I know he writes that i should restart my phone once a day, but i don't like this as a permanent solution. With Polish Blood i used the phone for a week, and it was almost as fast as it was after the boot. But well the one is ICS and the other JB, i know (although CM10 was not really fast compared to Polish Blood)...
If JellySandwich and Ultimate HD become laggy after some time of usage too, i will go back to GB or just restart my phone every day

I tried it for a couple of days, and i must say the multitasking build is really fast, even after a few days without reboot. The only problem is, that i can't play games like temple run because it lags as hell (even with the games build), only after fresh reboot it runs smooth for a while. But as playing games is not so important, i might stick to that rom, just want to try out a few others before.
ah ok because I do not really react with the mobile games so no idea how to play it.

Ok found JJ's Hybrid ROM and it is just awesome! Pure AOSP feeling without the bugs that non sony-based roms have (ie bad touchscreen) but also not the problems that many sony-based roms have (slow phone, contacts, etc apps). It is not as fast as some other roms and the app drawer lags sometimes, but it is still fast enough (after a few hours of usage, just after the first boot it feels laggy for an hour or two) and the pure aosp ui is unbeatable smooth imo.
So, great rom, i can just recommend it!

No one can recommend roms... Everyone has their own taste and different needs... It's good you tried a lot of roms but in the end its what you feel about the Rom that matters not others recommendations...

I've tried many ICS based JB roms and let me say that since Super JellyBean 5.5 was released it is by far the smoothest and the fastest. I also tried Legacy Xperia CM recently and it seemed quite fast and smooth but I couldn't get the Wifi working. Maybe you'll have a better luck.
For some reason I am only limited to non-AROMA based roms (All of them eventually bootloop on my phone)
And let me pay my respects to the Developer of Super JB. Be very careful with improving it.
Sent from my Xperia Neo using xda app-developers app
since you try a lot rom already you probably know which rom suited your need
all roms are great and they have their ups and downs
CM7.2, X-GAMER and Codename are great GB rom
CM9, Ultimate HD, and Ice Cream Pureness are great ICS rom
CM10, Super Jelly Bean and Racing Bean are great JB rom
other roms are great too. i only listed the ones i have tried.
there are a lot more great roms out there left for you to discover.
I would also recommend CM10.1 from LegacyXperia project. Latest builds are very stable and brings you JB 4.2.2 with 3.4 kernel.
Try to use zelly cream by gagan HD stable and option of gaming and battery life both

listen up. i use Gin2jellybean for more that 3 months. i stable and very light. only 100-110 mb ram is used and you have alot of free. i reccomend you to flash 2.5.2 version. first install 2.4.0 and patch with 2.5.2. use stock kernels if you wand best battery. if u need gaming perfomance use night elef 10.1 LITE. in my opinion is better for all other versions. You will not regert for this roms
i only recommend kitkat maybe it is in alpha stage ... I'm stunned by seeing the performance of kitkat, seeing the same performance as gingerbread with all brand new features .. long live xperia 2011
in GB you can use...anything
and in JB 4.1.2 & 4.2.x you can use PAC-man the famous AIO rom.....
you will be amazed...
In my opinion, the best ROM is GB, it is the best for gaming, battery life and stability.
ICS is the worst ROM ever.
JB Rom is very good but unfortunately not stable yet.
The Developers now are working on KitKat 4.4.1 which is in the Alpha 2 phase but I expect It is going to be the best when they reach the stable version.
For nice rom and for 100% stable running get GB rom, try Gin2JellyBean, the new version is 3.0.0 witch is Gin2KitKat. its GB rom themed as kitkat.
if you want latest kitkat alpha build 2, get if from my signature.
its alpha, so expect bug here and there. no fm radio, no hd videos recording, no hdmi, camera pictures are worse than any stock rom.
but then, its kitkat 4.4.1 soom in few days there will be 4.4.2 also.

jellybean cm10 works fine
