New exclusive feature of Xperia sola - Glove mode:
ICS update lets you use Xperia™ sola with your gloves on
Using floating touch over entire UI
How it works
Glove mode is enabled by default in the ICS upgrade for Xperia™ sola, so when you unlock the phone while wearing a glove (or with a bare finger in the air), you will enter glove mode and Floating touch™ mode will be disabled. In this mode, both glove touch and normal touch usage will work, for example, if you take off the gloves. There is also a cursor ring shown where you press the screen with your glove, to help you understand where you are actually pressing the screen. To turn off glove mode, you simply lock the screen and then unlock it with your bare finger touching the screen and you’re back to normal mode with Floating touch™ enabled. - Sony

Observations/Issues/Bugs:
Wifi Signal seems to be a little weaker,gsm signal is bit better.
Floating touch is available in some games instead of normal touch.
Battery Drain.
Poor Ram management.
microSD is causing reboots and bootloops(for some users).
As usual touch screen freaks when charging.
Settings Crash when you open running apps(for some users).
Lags(for some users)
Wifi bugs.
Camera on Instagram doesn't work.

Fixes:
For faster UI experience: Settings->Developers options-> Set Window Animation scale and Transition Animation scale to x5 or off.
Before rooting have backup using that backup&restore app,some users are reporting problems mounting to PC after rooting,so if you have similar problem,restore the back up.
SD Card Reboot fix:
Use System Tuner or any app and set SD IO Scheduler to "noop " instead of "cfq".

It is a humble request to everyone to please factory reset the phone after updating....It will really be worth it!!!
PLease let me know if I have got this right.
Running on custom ROM +custom kernel now.
To flash this ROM we need to get off both the custom parts.
To do that is to first relock the bootloader and then flash the stock/factory ROM.
Right so far?
And then finally flash the FTF file through Flashtool + factory reset.

So I would have to flash the stock ROM and then directly flash the new ICS rom?

Anyway,just flash ICS ftf.
Just did a factory reset after flashing. The phone really does feel faster (or it might just be me) wifi signal seems to be a little weaker though, whilst gsm signal is a bit better.
if you want a faster experience do this should help alot
go into settings/developers options and scroll down and change window animation scale and transition animation sale to x5 or off will notice a big difference in opening apps

Ultimate Notification LED fix for Xperia (ICS 4.0.4, 4.1.B.0.587)
Introduction
One of the most annoying bugs in the everyday use of Sony's official ICS firmware version 4.1.B.0.431 (and later, including v4.1.B.0.587) is that the notification LED only works for missed calls, and it doesn't notify anything else anymore.
Ironically, the previous beta firmware ICS 4.0.3 v4.1.A.0.562 showed a specular bug: the notification LED didn't notify missed calls, but it was working for everything else (SMS, Email, ..).
The "Ultimate Notification LED fix"
I've got around fixing this bug by reversing and doing a minor change in a 4.1.B.0.587 framework file (services.[o]dex).
The patched file has the notification LED working for everything as it was in GB firmware: the LED now blinks for missed calls, sms, emails, and any other application showing LED notifications (eg: K9-mail, Whatsapp..).
This patch works on all Xperia devices with 4.1.B.0.587 firmware, and it has been tested initially tested on a Xperia Mini Pro sk17i.
Disclaimer
These files come with no warranty, express or implied.
By downloading and using files linked in this page you express your understanding that you use those files at your sole risk.
No one can be held responsible for any damage directly on indirectly related to files linked in this page.
If you flash something to your phone you must remember that there's always a minimal chance that something goes wrong: you know it, I can't be held responsible if your phone gets wrecked, if your working LED flashes during a work meeting and you get fired, or anything else.
Downloads and Install Instructions
To install this fix you have to be in a stock ICS 4.0.4 firmware v4.1.B.0.587, with root and ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery installed.
To install the fix simply download the right package for you, and:
make sure your phone is charged! It's always safer when you need to flash something.
put the downloaded ZIP it in the root of your SD Card
reboot into CWM recovery
Do a Nandroid backup using CWM ("backup and restore" => "backup"): you shouldn't end in a bootloop if you download and apply the proper file, but it is a good practice to a CWM backup before applying mods and patches, so you can easily restore it and go back if anything goes wrong!
did I mention to do a Nandroid backup?
choose "Install ZIP from sdcard" => "Choose zip from sdcard"
browse to the ZIP in your SD Card
choose apply and reboot device.
enjoy a properly working led
The right package to download for you depends on your current system framework files status.
Use the following list and infos to find the proper download for you:
If you have an Xperia device on stock ICS 4.0.4 v4.1.B.0.587, and never applied other LED patches: install Busybox if you don't have it already, and download the following universal patch Ultimate_4.1.B.0.587_Notification_LED_FIX_UNIVERSAL_stock_rom_by_zxp.zip.
Note: Busybox must be installed on your device before installing this package, or it will not work. The patch scripts expects Busybox to be installed into /system/bin or /system/xbin.
If you never applied any patch and don't know what to download, this is the file you want!
Why: it is smaller, and only replaces the services.odex file with the patched one, that's all you need; the services.odex is automagically generated in your device, that's why Busybox is used, and this is what makes this package "universal".
If you your device currently has arcatarc's fix applyed: download Ultimate_4.1.B.0.587_Notification_LED_FIX_by_zxp_FOR_arcatarc_fix_users.zip
Why: if you used on arcatarc fix, this package will restore 4.0.B.0.587 framework files along with the patched services.odex, because arcatarc's fix installed the old 4.1.A.0.562 framework files and this change needs to be reverted.
If you are using a stock deodexed ICS 4.0.4 v4.1.B.0.587 firmware: download Ultimate_4.1.B.0.587_Notification_LED_FIX_FOR_DEodexd_roms_by_zxp.zip
Why: it will replace the services.jar with the patched classes.dex inside.
This works for all Xperia Devices, including but not limited to the Xperia Mini Pro sk17i/a.
If you are using the old firmware v4.1.B.0.431: you are lucky, I originally released the Ultimate LED FIX for firmware 4.1.B.0.431, you can download it from the old version thread.
If you are using a newer firmware: you have to wait for Sony to release this firmware for my sk17i, so that I can port the patch over the new version, or wait for someone to port it.
Background info, closing notes and thanks
As already specified this patch is based off stock 4.1.B.0.587 framework: I simply deodexed with baksmali, manually edited one .smali file to change the offending code that prevented the LED to work properly, and packed everything back.
I hope to find time to post very soon a Tutorial on how to apply the fix yourself, for educational purposes and to help less experienced people to port it over newer versions.
Experienced users should be able to compare the stock 587 baksmali-ed services.odex and the patched one to find the small change, and port it over new versions without the need of my forthcoming guide.
If you happen to port this patch to a newer firmware please post a link to your thread, so that I can add it in this post to inform users with such firmware that a patch exists for them.
If you want to inform other users of this patch please link back to this thread and don't simply re-upload/re-post a package. A link to this thread is the only way to be sure that users chose the proper package and can be updated if there is the need for a new/updated patch.
Bugs & Known Issues
This patch is now used by thousand of users without any reported issue or strange behavior.
If you install this patch and you end in a boot loop it means you have applied the wrong package. Please re-read the download info & instructions, and apply the proper zip. Period.
If you find any real problem please post it, and I'll update this section.
Changelog
2012.10.04 (current): applied my fix to the new firmware version 4.1.B.0.587, and released specific packages for this firmware version. The universal package now supports busybox both in xbin and sbin.
Additional Notes for those coming from arcatarc's fix
If you have used arcatarc "partial" fix you may have noticed that it had 2 major user visible problems:
the LED notification for missed calls was not working
it showed a single white blink when some notifications appeared in the statusbar: eg the Xperia Keyboard "choose input method" notification caused a white LED blink each time it appeared.
This patch doesn't have those problem, everything (seems!) to work as it should!
was waiting for [.587] Awesum
Bad thing is, that this led fix works only with stock sms app. I use other sms client, and with this, led don´t blink.

Maybe the problem lies in the alternative sms client? This fix is proven to work with email, gmail, sms, whatsapp, missed call... not only stock sms!
PS: at least this was true for .431, I appreciate feedback on the fix on this new .587 firmware because something may have changed.

I'm sorry I don't know what is the XS app port are you speaking of.
Generally speaking it will work for you if your custom ROM uses a stock, unmodified, services.jar/[o]dex. Else you'll lose functionality or customizations.

Xperia S apps, should work fine just like any other app with this patch I think.
I never used v6 supercharger, but as far as I can understand from a quick look it dynamically patches a given services.jar rather than simply replacing it (which is what my patch does).
So if you have v6 supercharer patch my patched service.jar/[o]dex you should have it both supercharged and with the working LED.

If you applied my .431 patch on .587 you can simply use the same type you already used. Eg: if you used the "universal" one, you can use the "universal" one again, it will override the previous one.
Which one should i apply...im using markphyton rom .587 doomkernel

Im using the fix for .431 and works great on my .587, whats new in this one? should i change my mod?
Seems to work fine in my xperia Arc LTi15.
Thanks!
thank you so much man, finally my ARC S notif LED its work like a charm :fingers-crossed: ....
Do you know if this patch works for the Real ICS r6 rom (based on 4.1.B.0.587)?
Which package should I use in case it works?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Yes you should use this new version on a .587 based ROM, because if you use the fixed .431 file you are actually missing some fixes/changes that sony did in input method handling and other misc code, that you will restore by applying the new .587 patch.

If those roms are deodexed you should use the third package (Ultimate_4.1.B.0.587_Notification_LED_FIX_FOR_DEodexd_roms_by_zxp.zip) else you have to use the first (Ultimate_4.1.B.0.587_Notification_LED_FIX_UNIVERSAL_stock_rom_by_zxp.zip): either way you must be sure that your ROM has a unmodified services.jar(/odex) or you'll loose some customization.

I dont know how to flash this kernel so please everyone help me how to flash it please.
Edit: I erase clear data on google play,framework and facebook but its useless every time i get authentification error
Edit 2:Sorry my english its not good i am mexican but i can understand you
i think if you open that .zip file and see any kind of files except .ftf then you can install it via cwm recovery but if you see .ftf file and a wifi fix .zip or something like that then you should flash .ftf kernel file with flash tool and install that wifi .zip file via cwm recovery ... all of this on unlocked bootloader of course ...
sorry for my english if it was bad

I use official ROM, I downloaded the zip file from that link that you sent and flashed it from recovery. When i install text input, it writes that the program I use official ROM, I downloaded the zip file from that link that you sent and flashed it from recovery. When i install text input, it writes that the application Didn't install.
......
After re-testing...
When i install the files text-input apk alone everything is fine.
When tap the setting on the keyboard, the keyboard will stop.
And some emojis don't show.
