[Q] Gingerbread or ICS - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I have a Sony LWW, and i want to know which os is better. i have tried both and also some custom roms. The stock one en GB is really smooth and bug free, but the ICS features are reallu cool. ICS is kinda laggy on stock rom, and with custom rom it's ok, but not as good as GB. What do you recommend?

Gingerbread.
There are no point of flashing ics on our phone. Except custom ics rom I guess

Gingerbread of course!

ICS. I mean it depends, if you want your phone for gaming, then Gingerbread it's better for you. But I actually have new HD games installed on my phone, and they run pretty well. What I like more about ICS it's the UI. I think it's really nice. I also like it because of the task manager (when you long press the home button) it's really useful. But it's up to you, personally I would recommend you to upgrade to ICS. I hope Sony will release an update and correct some bugs, but I have some time using ICS, and it doesn't seem to be so laggy at all.

HD games like asphalt doesnt seem yo work on ics. Ics ui is way much better

I have Aphalt 7 (the newest) installed on my LWW with ICS, and it runs very smoothly...
I also have Modern Combat 3, N.O.V.A.3 and the Amazing Spider-Man running on my WT19 with ICS. No problems at all. :laugh:

What ics rom are you using? And where did you get asphalt7?

Ill go for ICS latest OS and have gr8 UI... For me its batter then GB only thing on ICS i dont like is HD Video Recording lags and scrolling is bit laggy... Games are working f9 for me i dont play HD games, but i have tried Asphalt 7 and The Amazing spider man working pretty well...
FOR DOWNLOADING ASPHLAT 7 Search it on google. cant share u the link coz u already know why...!

ICS. Its running perfectly on my Live. after upgrade, if yours lags and performs slower, format SD card and repair firmware thru PCC.

ICS. Its look great and its fast

I'm using stock ICS rom.
And about asphalt, I can't tell you because it's against the rules but search for it on google, it's already out and works great on my Live.

Thanks Man. I upgraded yo ics stock and i'm using The Xperia s launcher and apps. I've finally got my ics yo run smooth
Sent from my WT19a using xda app-developers app

I liked ICS, and i put the Galaxy sIII launcher, my cell run very smoothly

Vote for ics
Great features.. decent UI (better than GB), but one drawback is it lags while playing HD games (virtua tennis).. Other than that it's gr8!

game controller in ICS or JB

I need help, whenever I try to play samurai vengeance, cytus and some games I can't touch anything, I think the problem is in the game buttons? Can anyone help me? I really want to use ICS or JB but because of the game buttons I can't use some of my apps.
up!
Try to use it in Gingerbread version firmware...
If the controller function as expected,then the ICS / JB firmware isn't optimized / supported yet

Are you sure your friend use the ICS firmware?In 2012 Xperia devices,there are latest Gingerbread version by SONY that use Ice Cream Sandwich UI (User Interface)...

yes, I'm sure that he is using stock ICS but he told me he's using the latest version(I forgot what is it) of ICS. Because I know realICs is using latest version of ICS if I'm not mistaken.
Sorry my bad xD I thought you were talking that he is using a controller like PS3 etc....
Well,the problem might be with your phone (lagg or something?)

I don't think the problem is in my phone, but I already tried playing HD games in other xperia units but the results is also the same.
Is there any way to copy the (lib if any) controller pad just like the accelerometer?

My recommendation here : Reflash and use a Gingerbread firmware back because most of the game/application isn't optimized for ICS even Jelly Bean firmware have come out...
I used a custom Rom (ICS custom firmware) and custom kernel which has been optimized to play game with less lagg... (but you need to unlock your bootloader)

Ok clean fast and smooth jellybean good idea
I have an important question:
how can choose between performance of roms ?
benchmarks ?
here is my experience
on your sperience rom antutu gave me 3200+ score while 3d was about 960 and etc...
on hyperbeam cream it gaves me 3400+
that mean ICS is better even 3d on ics was 1100
but the performance of gaming was worst !!!!
so how can we expect a bout jelly bean ?
is it better than ICS (on this way)or such kind of the same ?
actually everyone needs performance beside of visual not reverse
can you explain.
thank you

Your theorie is bad.jelly bean has parts that make it 40 - 60 % faster then ics.there is a high possibility that jelly bean,and the sonys jelly bean,will be significatly faster then ics.
EDIT:i had 4400 on antutu without any tweaks,only oc to 1.6 ghz.STOCK ICS 587

Like shadik already said jb is now even smoother and faster than ics but its not fully stable yet,about gaming,its the panic kernel that gives you a great benchmark score,and gaming forme was smooth but sometimes it lags for a little time,gb was designed for our devices it gives us the best performance till now,but i think jb could be better if it gets stable

I know that jelly has better performance but i said is it better than GB ?!
however my score benchmarkes was taken without any OC.
and I think comparing by benchmarks is good for the version of rom not all of versions.
I mean comparing for GB ,ICS and etc.
not together

So performance give benefits only for games right ?
and for example when I scroll on menu in GB it is smoother than ICS.
I know that the frame of ICS is better but it is a bit lags and I think it is because of processor.

the hyperbeam cream is best ICS rom that i ever see.
and I dont said that it lags.but sperience is much better on performance and I got 3200 score that until now I havent reach it on any custom roms.
but on some games like dead trigger it smooth on high quality and besides I use swap
but in ICS swap doesnt work.

Listen
I installed cm10
it lagged a little
I downloaded ram manager free from playstore
then i set to BALANCE
lag reduced a bit
Then i went to bottom
and saw SWAP button
I pressed it
selected 256 mb
and phone became lagles.if swap dont work,then blow me down...
!!!!!!!!BUT LETS GO BACK TO THE TOPIC!!!!!!!!
When it will release this ?
I want it LOL
And then can you make the contact , phone and messaging look like cm10( like nexus) ?
Not the official SONY one, because I think cm10's is better and cool
Or it is other ways to install those 3 as apk in your future rom?
I personally love Sony apps and widgets ! Soy apps on AOSP would be nice :thumbup:

CM9 or GB-Rocks?

Opinions please? As a stable, fast responsive daily rom
Sent from my 4.2.2 PAC powered Xperia S via Tapatalk
Well CM10 after camera fix ,I found this most smooth and responsive ROM.
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
True but I need bug free and cm10 doesn't offer that yet
Sent from my 4.2.2 PAC powered Xperia S via Tapatalk
Well, it's tough to go back to GB after you've used ICS for a while. That said, it's really up to you and your preferences whether you want to use GB or ICS.
Personally, I would prefer CM9, because it is more customizable than stock GB. But don't let my words make the decision for you.
Try out both the ROMs, see which one you like and make your decision.
Good luck. :good:
In my opinion sony ics is absolutely poo. Is cm9 really that much better tho?
Sent from my 4.2.2 PAC powered Xperia S via Tapatalk
gb rocks pros: more free ram, loud volume, really stable
cm9 pros: ics features, better camera, smoother
also, if i remember correctly, there's a rom that combines a cm9 core with some features from cm10 and cm10.1. you may want to give it a shot!
Why? I used ics with sliding kernel, the best you can get from sola. I just removed some apps and it run couple of months without hiccups.
No mods except cyber shot and fidelity. Fluid, stable and awesome battery life and the best, fully featured, everything working fine.

To be honest, CM9 is way better than stock GB/ICS if you are not very picky about camera performance.
