NEW TO ROOTING
I have an unrooted XS on the latest Sony's update ICS 4.0.4 and I want to install Jelly Bean! Sony has not yet released JB for its devices and we got no clue about the release date (correct me if Im wrong). So I did a search and I found the CyanogenMod which seems to be a good copy of JB! I would also like to extend my phone's battery life if it's possible.
So my questions are: Should I root my phone? If yes, what is the latest version of CM for XS and has anyone tested it for possible bugs? Would you recommend a different ROM?
If you want to install another Rom you need to unlock the bootloader, only a few Roms work without unlocked bootloader.
I heard the s could get jb in November, but that's still a rumour.
To get better battery life you should flash a custom kernel.

If you want to have JB on your XSX you have to flash CM 10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780338) or KangXperiaProject (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844412). Your bootloader has to be unlocked, your device must be rooted (sure). Idk really, but I think camera and HDMI out do not work (correct me if I'm wrong).

GB is smoother and I updated to ICS and downgraded again, wlan has bugs and some games don't work...
Better stay on gingerbread
But that's only my opinion, other members maybe have other opinions...

Difficult because of the locked bootloader. I would just stay on stock rom and remove the crap. A list for apps which can be uninstalled without risk can be found somewhere here in the forum.
If you want to run a custom rom, you could try a MIUI rom, but there are still some bugs and stock gingerbread firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 or .69 is a nice rom, too and there are less bugs. If you want a different theme maybe use a launcher (holo launcher for ics/jb feeling, miui launcher for miui, go launcher with multiple themes, maybe you could use Launcher 7 for windows mobile screen, just what you want)
if you want better gaming performance is gingerbread, but if you want full ics look although I tried several games ics and work well without lag, but nothing compared to the smoothness of gingerbread is my opinion :highfive:

others also who have tried ics on LIVE please reply I also want to know should i upgrade or not.
I have bought this phone that i can be upgraded but when upgrade came many said that it is not good to upgrade so wat is the use of upgrade if it doeds not work smoothly like this company say that there phone is upgradable.

Sorry for English !
If i can i will stay to GB , but i have update to ICS and i have some bugs... Main bug is that i broke my camera , now i have a worst camera in the world . I downgrade but it still have the camera bug , so don't update , stay to .62
better stick with GB, but if u want u can try upgrade to ICS or custom ICS rom and if u feel not good for u, u can always downgrade to GB with flashtool
First of all: about ics:
It has a nice ui and is smooth
But Performance is bader:
In ICS battery is draininge 2-4 percent per hour (Standby)
In gb battery is draining Max. 0.5 percent per hour (Standby)
GB runs much faster and smoother without lags,You can almost play every game with gb in ics Games are laggy and gaming is Not comfortable
You can Try my Rom if You wan See signature its for locked bootloader so You want lose warranty

Latest is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and it should be available ota (=over the air). Just start update center and search for the update, you should find it (if you aren't currently on .62!)
Only do that if you have a locked bootloader (*#*#7378423#*#*>service info > configuration > Rooting status > bootloader unlocked allowed: yes/no)

You should be able to flash a new one with flashtool, but I don't know if flashing a WT19i on WT19a is clever, cause the difference is baseband related?! (Correct me if that's wrong)
Here you can find a 4.0.2.A.0.58, that could be the latest. But I don't know on which you are currently on, cause I don't know the 4.0.1.A.0.238, but I guess it's older. I think you should be able to root (cause it's gingerbead) it easily, if you want. For that look in my signature
Edit:: Does anybody know which is later? 4.0.2.A.0.58 or 4.0.1.A.0.238. Maybe you are on the latest firmware for your device!
If you wanna root, you will have to downgrade to .58. How to do that is in my rooting guide
I have ICS .587 works perfect, the only detail is with all 2011 and is the LED, this does not turn the screen off, but in performance I work very well, plus is very fluid and battery life more. I recommend you to use the better flow of Serajr Home

This to me seems that Ben101 says "Stock jelly bean is still not released", which krayndr then declares "False!"
I work in software; I differentiate between a leak and a release. "Released to testers" is not a release. We send many builds to testers before we have a release candidate.

Not sure why you're directing this question to me; is it because I said I work in software? That doesn't mean I work in developing software specifically for this device, or even for Samsung devices in general...
But if you're having issue with a leaked firmware, doesn't it make sense to go back to a released firmware?

I'm not sure if it's the leaked firm fault or something else. Sorry bothering you with my sh*t.
There's no STOCK FW at the moment. Just a leak for testing only. Just be patient.

but why we prefer GB > ICS > JB is that ur installation goes smooth without any issue and also rooting ICS is much easier (since lot of option's to do so) rather with GB.

Hi
First of all you need to root the phone. The best way to do that would be to flash cf-root compatible with your rom version. You can find exactly what your build is by checking settings > about phone
Find compatible cf-root kernel and put it in PDA in odin and flash... there are lot's of guides out there - won't be hard to find
Second, before you go further you need yoo updete your bootloader. So either flash ICS stock through odin (not recommended cause will unroot again) or flash bootloader through odin. Again there are proper guides for that...
Then you can upgrade to whatever you want...
Keep in mind that emmc cap bug does not exist in GB kernels. so you can use the CWM recovery in cf-root kernels for GB rather safely.
If you update to stock ICS then you need to keep an eye what kernel you're using to wipe data. Siyah and dorimanx are safe and I always use them.
Loads of roms out there, pure aosp, cm based, aokp based and the leaked sammy rom. Personally checked alot of each first three and also several versions of the leaked one... All good.
Word of edvice - do read more on those things. No matter how much expirience people who answer threads like that have, you'll never substitute your own knowledge and expirience.
Go on and root and enjoy the android world, mate. Best of luck
Ok so now that I've played with JB, I wanted to try out xperia ultimate hd for instance.
Problem is, I already had a lot upgrading from stock ICS to JB FXP.
So now the question: What are the steps to be sure there 's no problem at all while I change from
Flykernel+FXP
to
Xperia ultimate hd.
I unzipped the source, but can't find any ICS kernel to flash with flashtool. And I think I can not just reboot in recovery and flash the new rom, am I wrong ?
Searched for a clue on xda, sorry if I missed a post with the answer in it.
You should flash an ics kernel like rage kernel and flash the xperia ultimate HD rom in recovery. Don't forget about the wipes, it should work
What are the issues you are afraid of?

flykernel for ics has recovery just use it. You will want to flash the kernel first and then use the CWM from flykernel ics to flash the rom. Since there was no kernel inside the ROM this probably means it uses the stock kernel.
Ok thanks ! reasons why I want to change is :
-> Google Search is leeching my battery, I tried everything from disabling location or history, still draining do not know why...
-> No OTA on FXP, you guys know if there is any chances there would be on CM10 unoff ? CM10 supposed to bring OTA, do not know if FXP will.
->Still my battery is fine with smartassV2 / Sio, but I miss the auto brightness and I wanted a more stable / Battery friendly rom. Is ultimate HD the right choice ?
3 questions in one thread...:silly:
Hi every1, I have an xu and it's been a while since i flashed it to 2.3.7 (Build .184) and now it's working kinda slow... also I wanna go back to ics for many reasons.. I was pretty sure that now i could just update my phone to ics using pcc but both, PCC and US tell me that I already have the latest android version for my device...
So my question is- how can I flash back to ics? which ics build is the best in ur opinion(most importantly smooth!!)? and how can I root my phone with that version? (cuz i know that last time i tried rooting .54 with Binary's root method it didn't work for me)
Can any1 please help me answer these questions? and add good guidelines, I'm a nub when it comes to this
Thanks in advance!!

The only Sony ICS I've used was .54, and to root it the hard way (that is, without BL unlock) you must replace the kernel with the one from .10
I'm also a very satisfied GB user, but trying AOSP 4.1.2 now

2- Yes, you still use the .10 kernel + flashtool root + reinstall stock kernel
1- You inspired me to try a home slimmed .100, but my opinion says it'll be worse than GB .188
should use pre rooted kernel, as the kernel Sliding ICS.
already root and cwm :good:

XMP SK17i will not receive official 4.1.2 JB update. Latest update available is 4.0.4 ICS version only. IF you prefer cyanogen based 4.1.2 rom, use Super jelly bean 8 rom. Its fantastic...
May be your rom is unlocked & so not even detected ICS update. Instead use FLASHTOOL application, download your prefered stock ICS or GB .ftf file & flash it.

BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED will be the cause.
Download Flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/download.php

Then flash it manually. No need for sony erricson pc suite:fingers-crossed:
But for information Cm10(4.1.2) is much faster than android. Now it supports 720p recording also
The only drawback is no bravia engine 2 support.

a) cm (cyanogenmod) is android. sony rom too. cm is just the same as nexus fw with some additional features.
b) cm allways supported 720p recording. its just disabled (but if you xperienced enough you can enable it yourself if you build from source ) bcuz of 2 things: its laggy due to sony dont support us with drivers over ICS, also they never released source so we could do it ourselves . 2) disabling it results in 22mb more ram.
c) you can use even bravia engine 3 or x-reality (look in arc thread for it) on cm. there many users say it works for them. for me even on stock ics those stuff is only bloatware & i cant see any diffrence even when i compare phone to phone... (i done it with friend)
d) @Dorian995 i will see your face as you maybe find out some day how much more power you get delivered from a 4.2.2 JB (cm10.1) (or even up to 4.4 KK) ROM compared to stock. it will blast you away.

It's not permitted to ask for the best rom/kernel. Please just try some and you'll find the one that fits best for you
