I was fooling around with the system-dump from Xperia S and installed a bunch of things, among them Conversations.apk.
It worked fine and was a nice improvement from the stock one until i tried to send a MMS with a picture, which resulted in a force close after selecting the image with gallery.
Has anyone of you fine ROM-modders any suggestions how i can get it to work? I suspect that the communication between the gallery and conversations might need some help, maybe by installing some more apks from the dump. I am not in an experimental mood right now since i had to repair the phone-software twice now thanks to questionable decisions with apks earlier today.
My phone:
Xperia Neo, not rooted.
Android 2.3.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
Hi guys,
I'm sorry before.
I've updated my XMP to ICS 4.0.4. I think the UI of ICS is not as good as GB.
- SMS (GB is more like crystal-clear, ICS just a solid color)
- detail contact (just flat view, very different with GB)
And there are many apps that crash (unfortunately closed) or not responding. I often pull out my battery to restart my phone.
When i set date and time, after i select date/time then click set, it always not responding.
Soooooo .... I decide to reverse it back to Gingerbread 2.3.4 :crying:
Is there any firmware of ICS that solve my problems above? or i should just wait the official update from SONY?
just sharing with you guys ..
Thanks.
Which Rom did u use?
I think not because this problem is to ta related to compatibility of APIs app that still exist are not built to run on ICS. Bug on the time I do not know. But I see that ICS is not being high wattage. Because it causes the power consumption of application and hardware.
Official ROM
I update my mini pro with official ICS from Sony with SEUS.

Try flush ROM v2.
I think its the best ROM available.
Believe me its good.
After installing just try face unlock option that's the only thing missing in that ROM.
Hi guys,
(sorry if my words aren't clear, please tell me if any of what I say isn't undestandabble)
Yesterday I installed FeraLabs ICS v2.2 ROM in my x10a. Great ROM, I fell in love with android 4 and cyanogemod, it was my first contact with both. But I had some problems using it, some apps not working, others freezing the entire system, can't send SMS etc. I know that probably most of these bugs already have fixes, the ROM is being developed etc, but I decided that it's not for me yet, this is my main phone and I need it rock solid for day to day use.
So I decided to try some GB rom. But there are a lot of ROMs out there, and I couldn't find a thread answering what's the best for my case, so I'm gonna ask fro suggestions. =D
Here's what I need:
- A stable ROM, fully compatible with my x10a;
- Based on cyanogemod;
- If possible, faster than stock 2.3 ROM;
- If possible, less power-consuming than stock 2.3 ROM, but it's the least important feature (got a 3500mAh battery);
- I personnally don't like the Sony UI improvemments and general bloatwares. I like google default apps and UI. Also used a LG p500 for a year, liked a lot the LG punctual customizations;
- It can have bugs about video recording, I don't use it much;
- It can't have bugs with 3g, wifi, calling and texting (hehehe);
So, what flavors should I try?
Thank you all. ;D
Donut HD 2.2 it's faster than stock and cm and works perfect with good battery life 2

Hi,
Thanks for helping.
Looking at the instructions in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30999560&postcount=1167). Will it run OK with the feralabs kernel that is currently is installed in my system? Shouldn't I change hte kernel?
If yes, what kernel should I flash?
Hi guys,
I flashed doomkernel, booted to xRecovery, installed the doomkernel wifi module from zip, booted again to xRecovery, installed the donuthd, booted again, installed donuthd, booted to xRecovery and installed donuthd update.
It's really fast, I've never used and android this fast. I'm currently installing my apps, wanna see if it will keep great at night. =D
But I've seen a problem:
My sms messages aren't being delivered, just like happened with Feralabs ICS 2.2 rom. Anyone got this problem? Does this have some relation with my phone being a x10a (and now it's appearing in in my system settings as x10i) ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi again,
Today I cleaned up my phone and tried to install donutHD + doomkernel again. Everything worked ok, except sending and receiving SMS messages. So I flashed back 2.1 stock firmware and 2.3 (GB) stock firmware, and SMS sending/receiving worked fine again, in both versions.
Does anybody has any clue about what can be happening? When I installed donutHD (about 3 times), I was in 2.1 stock firmware, root/busybox/xrecovery from Flashtool (newest version). The same problem ocurred with the Feralabs ICS v2.2 ROM with feralabs kernel for ICS.
I also tried to flash the 2.3th kernel n5-1 (comming from 2.1 stock firmware), but it got frozen in SE screen, during boot. Even xrecovery couldn't open. =/
=========================== edited:
Problem solved: As observed I was upgrading from 2.1 stock ROM to DonutHD. Doing this upgrade coming from android 2.3 stock ROM, the SMS sending/receiving works like a charm. =D
Hi All,
I am facing this strange issue. I tried to search in Google so far possible and everyone was lamenting but there was no solution.
I set ringtones to contacts individually for my frequent callers. However, when they call, i get only the default ringtone. As per suggestions, i tried various apps like ringdroid, ringtone maker etc.., but none of them fixed it.
I am just wondering if there is any place to look internally in Android and make changes to this. Like some configuration/framework file that will play specific ringtones assigned to them.

Hi guys! I'm new on this forum!
I read lots of posts and pages...but i can't understand something (maybe because i'm italian and reading english isn't so easy for me)...i need a suggestion:
i have an xperia sola sent 2 times to xperia support for solve lot (too much) problems of my phone...the first time i installed 4.0.4 and it was a disaster, a really disaster...they re-send me the phone with android 2.3 (i don't remeber which) as i requested: problems...the other time phone came back a little different, with android 2.3.7 (GB)...now i have GB, but there are still problems (one is that 1 months ago it started in "safe mode" and no widget has been loaded, and now since 1 month ago every widget is red with "impossible to load widget"; other is that lots of time apps "doesn't answer" or they autoatically close; and others and others)...i don't want to send my phone another time to support and request sobstitution with another xperia sola as they suggested me, because situation will not change i think...
my question is: what i might do better?
keep my 2.3.7 and restore it with official way
root my 2.3.7 (after restoring it, i think)
root and activate (is it right?) bootloader on my 2.3.7
install extreme security + experience v.2 (aroma) (to do this, do i need to install 4.0.4 before?) (with or without bootloader?)
i need a phone that begin the call when i need, messages, mail, gps, calendar and the most useful things...i don't need to play and i don't need facebook or other social networks...but it has to be not fast, but acceptable and a working right phone...so is better wich of the options?
i'm sorry but i'm hating my phone and i don't know what to do...thankyou
