I hope our Xperia receive the new apps soon, look great, meanwhile we only can see the videos:

:laugh:
I'm glad someone else noticed this too! Yes I'm very excited too!
Plus, if it doesn't sound to trivial, I noticed the apps on the new phones at IFA that they have really bright, beautiful designs, colourful...I like Sony style but more colour please! Less black! And these new apps have LOTS of colour :victory:
I think we just need to wait for a system dump.
What I really want its the mini apps. That looks awesome. Hope the notes apps has support for it.

Im having a bad feeling that, they won't provide those in nxt's... Coz xperia t is coming With ICS.. With those apps,
and we already got ICS without those apps... So LAZY Sony is going to make another ICS with those apps in NXT?...nah
And we should not worry about JB!
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
But they could easily add those apps in a minor ICS update, no?
P.s. did anyone else read on this site: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/09/0...ng-to-o2-uk-owners-of-the-xperia-arc-neo-ray/
that O2 in the United Kingdom refused some Sony ICS upgrades because they severly affected the phones' performance? Hmm
Sony says those new apps are coming to all 2012 devices:

Hi guys,
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/products/2012/05/25/update-on-ice-cream-sandwich-rollout-for-xperia-smartphones/ here is info about update to ICS 4.0.4 for ray (and other xperias). As we remember, 4.0.3 has came with lot of problems (laggs, jerking video recording, low performence in games, battery drain). I suggest to type here what has changed in new OFFICIAL rom for xperia ray (mainly if bugs are solved).
Thx in advance
thanks for news and i hope this update be better ^^
i hope it will enable auto brightness, add status bar widgets and lockscreen notifications ...and solve bugs reported
Haha thats funny as I haven't even received official ICS in the uk. So God knows when ill get this update

But an updates note? i've installed this firmware on my ray, but i don't know what changes to 4.0.3
I updated yesterday but didn't notice much difference. I have to admit, I didn't check video recording (I hardly use it) nor 3D gaming performance.
As a few others have pointed out, the notification LED didnt appear to work after receiving an SMS or email unless you woke up the screen.

I understand, you have official 4.0.4. Can you tell what about:
- recording video in hd (what about jerking)
- games performance
- laggs
- battery consumption
comparing to gingerbread?
ok, i have found the answer by myself on sony blog. Here it is:
4.0.4 update on Xray
Pros:
*ram usage is better.UI is much more smoother.no lagging at all.
*game performanse is better.(and when exiting the game home screen opens directly.no lagging here too)
Cons:
*Calendar widget is still not showing the next event (so What's the use of this widget?)
*Video recording still lags (playback still lags)
*Dialpad is still taking 2-3 seconds to start at first try to open.
*NO notification LIGHT when you recieve a message when screen is off.
I'm still waiting for another update. Good thing is that between first and second update to ICS it was a short time.
Hi everyone i was just wondering if anybody could say 100% that this FW is official as i have noticed a few things that point in the direction that this is actually a fake.
The FW i am talking about can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918920
I have noticed the launcher is the arc launcher from the play store? is that official sony?
It is like my phone has a mind of its own now as it turns off and on by itself now.
I also have to keep resetting the phone as it doesnt register a sim card in the phone.
And it lags so much it feels unusable.
It feels like a £50 budget android phone now.
And also the France dont even have this update yet.
Please could someone clarify if this is fake or not with some proof.
Thanks.
Yes. It's official.
Sent from my ST25a using xda premium
How can u prove this and why is my launcher from the play store?
Im sorry but I think this is a fake as Sony would not release a fw that is worse then GB.
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
It's real. Installed it on my girlfriend's Xperia U. Works like a charm. Plus all ICS specific features are present. How would you fake that?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well I have a theory, I have not spoken to them, but does anyone in the world has received the update for the PC Companion? From what I've read on XDA to date. Neither the French nor the ST25a have been received there.
I think Sony has released as the "probatinas" and has "cast" on the net for people to download them and post your impressions (They are also aware of this) and receive the official firmware in the coming days.
Of course, if someone had received by the PC Companion, my theory would absolutely break down
Made with the help of Google translator, my apologies if something is wrong.
If you do not understand something ask me.
Regards.
So you are saying that we have a super-duper-developer that has made all by himself an ICS rom for the Xperia U and remained silent???? Because now we have ICS for U, and if it was not Sony that did it, then who did? Not even Freexperia has done it so far...
Do you know Sony Mobile web site?
Well, maybe this can change your mind:
http://www.sonymobile.com/us/software/phones/xperia-u/
PS: You can switch to whatever country you like on top-right of the page, and it will tell you the same version and date.
It's official..
You can find the rollout SI numbers on the sony xperia forums and sony allready said...
At least here in Brazil, the update officially arrives in December according to sony.

hop ur request will come true..big question for me?why sony's flagship takes too long to jelly bean(4.1.1) even ics before, they are always the last - WHY?while samsung almost of them upgraded now to jb(4.1.2) and as of now they are planning again with 4.2..other bad news also is that sony already pulled out to asop developer so jb for our xps delay the flagship againe:crying:..i came to cm10 but the camera is too poor..take shoot on dark area is too blurry, looks like the flash is not 100% working..also media is poor, sony walkman player is better compared to apollo maybe because of the bravia engine (xloud,clear bass & clear audio)..so i wonder why many xps user like cm10?for me xtxperience is better than cm10 also..but i noticed system ui of cm10 is better than sony because their rom is very fast and smooth!:good:..anyway cm10 is not yet official and i will wait, and i believed them because every week have a change log, goodluck cm10!
Yeah... I understand what you mean.. But we can only hope it will get better...
Sony is not the popular choice...so they can probably take their time
I truly hope we can get the Sony themed cm10... It would be with great performance and good looks.

It's not a question, but a suggestion: Do you put in your rom a launcher named XL. I found it on Zelly Cream rom (in aroma select moded xperia z launcher with compatibily widgets... i think) Ask Gagan.u20 permission to use this, its very awesome. Another suggestion, update the Ac!d Engine to v7.0. It's very stable, look in the thread of them. That's it hehehehe.
Ohhhhhh, another thing, keep your hard work, this rom is amazing, and sorry for poor english, I'm learning this one now

Some Probs
So first of all, i'd like to ask, if installing only this ROM (without any kernels, and other adds) may cause fc in many apps(one of them is GO SMS, Opera Mobile, AccuWeather widget doesn't work properly also(but i haven't tested it on another ROM so let's say it's not a problem)).
Another problem is, the ROM isn't as fast as people say(surely not for me) I was on jelly sandwich, which was faster(but had less cool options).
And there's also another prob, with SMS this time, sometimes when someone send me a sms the phone don't get it, it has to be sent twice, last few days it cause me many problems, before it happened like 1 time a week, now it happens 10 times a day. I dunno if it's problem of this ROM, cuz i heard it happens on different phones, and of course different roms, but wondered if anybody here know a solution for Neo V, or just this ROM.
What may i install to improve the smoothness of the ROM and solve other problems?

First of all, the sms part.. Its not a rom issue.. Thats related to network.. And about fc, no there is no fc on opera mini.. Go sms and wheather widget not tested yet.. Just try re-installing the apps if you are finding any problem with them.., If you are facing lags in launcher then thats an issue I know and I am going to fix it in the next update.. Just tell me places where you are finding lags.. ??
Uninstall go sms and then see.. Your sms problems may be because of that.. Give it try..
And yes today I am coming with the 2nd update of build.prop.. You can check it.. It will surely improve your interface..

Uaage experience with ROM...
Hi,
Used your rom for a day and below given is my expereince.
1.Overall good packaging
2.It's definitly fast
3.RAM availability is impressive(with Tasker,Swype and lot of widgts..) still runs at 140Mb available!!
Bug.
1.Not sure it's my problem alone,with connecting with Bluetooth, I was facing getting stuck and eventually a reboot.
Faced the same issues with UltimateHD rom and pribably with Icrecream Pureness- So if it is something which you are re-using it ,it may be quite obvious.
2.I use ADW launcher.So not sure it's combo problem- I don't see the "recent task" soft button most of the time.But when I click on the place the tasks ae getting listed out for sure!!!
Wish list.
1.As you mentioned I guess you are working on associating the boot menu(reboot + CWM recovery) to be associated witht the Power button.
2.Do you want to consider the possibily of including Xperia JB font?
THANKX again...
