it's useless.
Yes, there are no stable ROMs right now
Who know why there are no ROMs, maybe developer motivation, Sony support, few developers...
The best way to help the developers it's test and test their ROMs, the support will improve the ROMs obviously
I cant test it because I need the phone and I cant wipe it each time or change the ROMs
Even some developers does not have the phone to test it directly
So dont expect much from a new ROM... just test...
thank you. i hope its just moral. unlocking bootloader is problem for us because there isnt any good rom / there isnt any good rom because people worry about unlocking bootloader for warranty. but for example there is so many good roms for neo v or ray etc.

Bootloader can be relocked
and I think that porting is possible from the 2011 phones to the xpu

i don't think relocking the bootloader can supoort warranty. because we give our imei numbers sony for unlocking bootloaders. they can see. but some of 2011 xperias can be unlocked from hardware like neo v.
The rom I'm waiting for is cm9 or aokp... Seriously when!?!?

the only port of 4.0 is still in alpha and not stable,
As for best rom...try wolfs if you like stock, fxp if you like cm and there are loads of miui roms...take your pick
PS, best to unlock bootloader and use doomkernel v06 as well

hi, im new neo v user! and i want to install a rom! do i need to unlock my BL to install any rom? or there is some roms tht can be installed without unlocking the BL? sorry for my question i know its outdated )
I've red samoire that you can install any rom that is based on the official one with no kernel changes via cwm. I've tryed it with my neo and dosen't work.
My Root sts is Boot Loader Unlock: No and as far as i know there is no way i can unlock the bootloader for free...So I am courious about the same thing but on neo (mt15i) .
So Clear ...
We have two kinds of roms;
1)Official
2)Custom
The first one is that one which you already have and doesn't need unlocked bootloader BUT the second one needs an unlocked bootloader.
Feel Free To Hit My THX...
There are also a few custom roms for locked boatloader,
Eg
Romkola, Codename and a couple of others, although they are likely to encourage you to unlock to really see what a neo can do

hi all, so if someone can list the roms that can be installed without unlocking the BL, it will be so kind from him and +1 thanks to him from all persons who need this list of rom? ok??

You cannot flash kernels in locked bootloader.. And most of the mods are also there for unlocked one.. Unlocked bootloader has very few Roms.. Better unlock it and experience a whole new world for your phone
There's no different in apps or mod.
But there's rom. Most rom here are build for unlock bootloader, u can overclock and stuff.
Pretty cool but u will lose DRM keys. So no more "download music info" in walkman. All apps that need DRM keys won't work,

Yes it is, and there are guides in this forums by DoomLord.
From my own experience, the only thing I miss is walkman's "download music info" which I don't consider important. If you are one of the "flashers" I suggest unlocking it

This and other mentioned are RESULTS of difference but where is difference ITSELF ?
WHY cant I flash any kernel except stock ?
Don't tell me "because you go brick".
It is RESULT.
I can flash stock rom and it communicates with locked BL however - I think - new stock rom has it's own management of booting.
Then - base question is NOT explained and I am really curious of answer.
Locked bootloader means it can only boot sony signed kernel
NO CUSTOM KERNEL NO ALWAYS ROOT
Unlocked means it can boot any kernel made for that device
You can always have root and have custom kernels
You can also get CM and all new features
The rom for locked bootloader can work in unlocked but vice versa is dangerous

NO, bravia won't work and this is the only thing i miss from locked bootloader.
As far as i know DRM stand for Digital rights management, so you can't download music info anymore. But there are many modded walkman apps can do that.

Yes. That I did, on older stock ROM, ST26i_11.0.A.3.28_WE. Lost root after upgrade to latest.
Downgraded, prefer have root than latest ROM however speed is about 15% higher on new ROM, must be better kernel and libraries.

why would u want to downgrade? u can have root access on every ROM even if your bootloader is locked.
So for unlocked bootloader just flash a custom kernel with "autoroot" function. Once u flashed that kernel, u will have root access after reboot.
For both locked and unlocked bootloader this tool from b1nary should also work...

As the name suggests LOCKED BOOTLOADER means the bootloader is locked and cant be accessed, so you can't install custom kernels as it is locked with the kernel by Sony itself......yes you will lose your DRM keys,you cant use trackid and the download music info which are somewhat pretty useless for me........those were such small sacrifices so you can access the vast open world of modding your phone.....hppe that helps.

Have you searched?
Has told you must root and install cwm.
Without being very rigorous you have, working in locked bootloader:
MIUI
DualCore
Xtream
The first one has a completely new interface. The other 2 are based on original Sony Rom and then tunned for less trash and better performance.
Hope it helps... but search first

Are you sure about this ?
KA SSpeed is based on a tweaked Kernel... and with Locked BL you simply can't flash Kernels.
For the 3 I stated I can confirm they work on locked BL, for KA I wait for some feedback.
I can tell you that KA-rom doesn't work with locked bootloader, isn't designed for stock kernel I guess. I almost bricked my phone but luckily I could run Sony Update Service to restore it. Miui is a good choice for us with locked bootloaders but I personally don't like miui that much.
I'm a bit afraid of trying any more roms until there is a way to unlock the bootloader for us that officially can't. Most good roms need a custom kernel anyways.
But I do wan't something more compact, and with the look of AOSP. Maybe I'll try Xtream or DualCore, if it works well with locked bootloaders that is...

I use KA on locked bootloader and so far no problems. You just need cwm to make it work, and we all know you can install cwm even with stock kernel
Flinux,
With locked bootloader you have to make big sh#t to brick phone.
Unless it specifies on Rom information you have to edit updater-script file to flash into locked boot.
You can try dualcore, has it probably is the most light Rom, personally I use MIUI because it is the most configurable Rom available for xsx and has updates every week. Maybe a bit more heavy in memory... but my phone runs a full day with all roms, so no questions there.
If you need a Rom confirmed in locked bl I can share my modded zip for last miui version.

I said "almost"... but it wasn't a "brick" per say, just a stupid boot loop, and I lost CWM so I couldn't go into recovery to reflash. But as I said, I solved it by reflashing original with SUS. I have used KA-roms before on my Xperia neo, but I didn't get it to work with my Xperia S.
Anyways, I think I will try dualcore, since I don't care much for the sony launcher anyways. It seems like a pretty light and batteryfriendly rom. (too bad dualcore has stopped developing this rom...)
Great... another dev leaving xps...
My Huawei x5 had more devs and more roms available... and no locked bootloaders or flashboot locked modes.
Xps is an amazing phone, but for modding and development.. it sucks
