Hy all,
I just got my Mini.
Can you give me some tipps, which kernel and ROM would be the best for everyday using and for gaming?
Also, other tips are welcome too
thx in advice.
Don't change anything, even don't update your phone until ICS comes; I promise you that's the best way playing games and etc.
update, root your phone install cwm recovery, remove bloatware. if you notice problem with back and manu keys just fix it(there is a solution on this forum).
maybe is better to wait day or two for ics release, and then pimp your phone.

I can tell you that the ICS will not be highly recommended for gaming because their OS is a bit heavier than GB. So I think you like games and wants to apply a custom ROM. This is because at risk but you can search for Rage Kernel or X Kernel for V17 Hybrom told me that it is brutal for Games. I tried to install on my LWW but could not. IF you are modifying your ROM PLEASE MAKE A FULL BACKUP WITH CWM. NOT TO CRY AFTER A BAD SET KERNEL
Ok thanks. I will use stock ROM untill a usable custom one is available
Hello.
I am making this thread, because there are too many roms here and I can't find out which one to pick.
I want some stable ICS rom for my Mini ST15, because I am tired of waiting for the official ICS, and I would also want to have the additional settings to turn off the auto brightness...
I suggest the stock rom with draco_ag's mods and bloatware removed.
Sent from my phone.
link or anything, please?
real ics 5.2 is stable and fast using it with mesa 1.6 kernel and every thing is good
agree, real ics 5.2 is superb, use with mesa 1.6 kernel. but just a suggestion if u want stock, better wait till nxt week for new firmware release by sony.
Real ICS is for Live with Walkman......
nope it's for all 2011 xperia phones via aroma installer

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!

Hi, i'm newbie too, but I tried many ROMs, and I can say, that stock .62 FW with some modifications is really faster than all of custom ROMs, except CyanogenMod 7, but it doesn't have some features from stock (like keyboard, HDMI and music player), so 2.3.4 .62 is the best for performance and daily use) now i'm on .587 stock fw, it is fast too, but it have more bugs in games, than gingerbread. Happy flashing

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
Is there a ROM that just removes bloatware, add a few build.prop tweaks, is supercharged and uses the JB Adreno drivers?

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.
sorry for my english must always write only in German and translated via google leave.

Ics&jb remix
Sent from my Neo V using tapatalk 2
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!

If it is faster than JS 7.4, it must be a great rom for sure. But as described above, i just love AOSP so this ROM might not be suitable for me just like JS and Ultima HD which i tried for a while...
Hi all,
I just installed stock ICS via ftf file.
I only want the following modifications;
1. Delete unwanted apps.
2. Status bar with toggles.
3. Performance wise smooth.
4. That's it.
I have watched the tutorial given in xda by nero to cook the ROM but I just need above modifications. Any help or ideas?

I dont understand why u would wanna stay on Stock modified when there are soo many stock based roms which have all that u've mentioned and more..
I know tht ur not new to custom roms cause i've seen you in various rom threads..im just curious as to why you would want a modified stock ics.. when custom roms are better..
I have root access and boot loader unlocked. I know there are a lot of cusyom ROMs available but I couldn't find any stable ROM on which I could stick for a long time. Every saturday night, I am whether updating the ROMs with fixes or totally new looks. However I appreciate and respect devs work and their efforts. If anyone could tell me any ROM which is already shrinked in size by deleting useless apps and performance wise smooth but not mosified so that I could install then install MODs for my choice? Any possibility?

Wow, I didn't expect such answer. Any way, I was only looking for the ROM which have NO BUGS at all (at-least for me) and Sony ICS stock ROM doesn't have bugs I guess (or may be I am wrong but I didn't face any in 3 weeks) but yea, performance is not good (lagging and all that i.e. NOT SMOOTH). So, I was only looking for this kind of ROM i.e. No Bugs, Smooth, and stable.
But any way, I have finally found the one with only 1 or max 2 bugs which would be fixed soon (I hope) and applied some MODs of my choice and I can use my Neo V without any -ve things!!!
Thanks to all!!!
Hello everybody,
I just started this thread to which version of android i have to install in my phone Sony Ericsson live with Walkman WT19i
So the thing is im using stock Android 2.3.4 with firmware 0.62 unrooted and what are the possibilities of rooting
Is 2.3.4 rooting is good and mod some UI like this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162275 ) because i like the performance of Gingerbread or 4.0.4 ICS it as alot of features than GB but have some lag on it
What im saying what is the best android version in order to get Ultimate performance in my phone
Possibilities :
New UI
UI no lag
battery backup good
Good features and lots more
no lag on Games
I'm waiting for the good answer to conclude which is the best way...
again another way of asking for best rom
Dude I already told you about that and moreover you shouldn't ask this question and even the section you have posted is wrong.
All I can do is tell you about the ROMs but the best one will be the best that suits you.
Stock(+Custom) GB ROM: These are high on performance and made for gaming and simply are lagless. With some custom ROMs and great mods you can get great UI on your GB and can get ICS feel with GB performance in it.
Stock ICS ROM: Lots of bugs and lags but the UI is not bad but can be better. Also this ROM is really low on performance and gaming and is even loaded with bloatwares and if you are rooted then there will be something wrong with you if you are still using this.
Custom ICS ROM: You can get greater looks, more performance than stock ICS but you may lack a bit on performance(but better than stock ICS) since it is really difficult for any custom ROM also to match the performance of GB but most are stable and good enough for average use. Obviously you need root for this.
JellyBean ROM: Since sony hasn't released(and may never) a JB ROM for our phones so we don't even have an official kernel. Thus you need an unlocked bootloader which will obviously void your warranty. But JB roms have beautiful UI, nice animations and while using CM10 I didn't experienced much lags as such.
Now after reading this you can decide yourself which suits you the best and try different ROMs of it. But don't ever ask for best. Best of luck.
Best Regards,
AJ
