Discuss the new ICS update for the Xperia S here - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

So I hope this thread doesn't get closed for some reason I didn't think of..
so guys .. did you notice any improvements in speed or anything new in the update?

Hi bud,
Well I flashed the NL generic, so far this is what I have found after installing without wipeing my data. I did fastboot ics11 kernel for root then flashed back stock kernel
More responsive
Quicker app launching
Quicker widget picker launching
Buttons more responsive
Camera quick launch is faster and so far no errors
I can't say anything about the battery yet as it's to soon.
I have noticed though that with cpu spy it's showing that it's not going into deep sleep quite as much as uk generic .453 was
I'll see how it goes through tomorrow.

I have requested in the Sony forums a feature to allow the use of Onavo Extend which didn't work in the last ICS version, with this update it is now possible to use this app.

Once thing I am really hacked off with though is why didn't sony include the new bits of ics from the Xperia P ie, battery percentage, wifi direct and the new extended battery setting

Yes, that would come in handy instead of having to install a 3rd party app, but they will probably adress that in another update.
This version still has the messaging bug which uses to much characters when using accents, still have to use handcent..

How did you do all of this? Can you teach me how? I'm waiting for the Xperia S to come and this is my first time owning a smartphone(coz I'm poor. Haha) and I don't really know how to root or apply mods or even update Xperia S to ICS (But I found a thread here regarding that so might as well follow that.) Thank bro!
Ciaossu!~
