This is what I experienced using the Stock & Custopm ROM of ICS Xperia U
Pros.
1. Awsome Looks and Animations
2. Gallery Wonderful
3. Swipe to remove, selecting used applications using HOME key.
4. Movie app >> Good
5. Never felt any lag, was smoother like GB
6. Keyboard WOW!!
Cons.
1. CAMERA >> My GOD What was that..??? It killed me!!!!:crying:
2. Battery drains like a waterfall when we switch on Data
3. Phone got Darker...i felt like Brightness got decreased..( Dnt know abt its truth but i actually felt it)
4. Had many rooting problems and Superuser problems.
5. Reboot option in Dynamic Rom doesn't works as intended..
6. Bugs in USB tethering.
7. The Settings key has no more use!!
8. Less user friendly..
What u people think...Is there a camera MOD available? I have a ginger bread Camera MOD can i use it on ICS? If camera was ok..i would like to adjust ICS

Totally agree with ya on the Pro's.
But...
Cons.
1. CAMERA >> On my ST25i on ICS the camera quality is actually better than GB.
2. Battery drains like a waterfall when we switch on Data >> I Agree.
3. Phone got Darker >> Actually on my device its brighter now than in GB
4. Had many rooting problems and Superuser problems >> You must've done something wrong,i used Bin4ry's method and got it rooted in 25 seconds,and works perfect.
5. Reboot option in Dynamic Rom doesn't works as intended >> No idea,i only use Official ROM's
6. Bugs in USB tethering >> Works perfect on official ST25i ICS.
7. The Settings key has no more use >> Settings key on Nova Launcher works great (Didnt try default NXT as im not a big fan of it.)
8. Less user friendly >> If you wanted a user friendly OS,get a Windows Phone
Those are my opinions mate.
Respect
Yeah I'm with you on the right hand settings key. Now I have to have the settings app in the app drawer.
Battery seems to disappear rapidly no matter what I'm doing.
And I can't root. Tried the Bin4ry method with no success.

guys, can you check your Xperia U video recording in ICS?
does it become MONO?
(sound channel is still 2, but both the same, ergo its mono)

Hi everyone, this is a very simple list/howto of all known Arc-ported features onto the X10 as of 4th August.
Right now the list is not big but the features are, which include
100% working Bravia engine
75% working xLoud (FCs occur when changing brightness/volume and power control widget stops working, but in active developement and should be fixed soon)
100% new 2011 Xperia launcher, it's smoother, faster, and a few nice new features
95% working DLNA widget (A few streaming problems)
Screw SE for leaving these features out, when it works almost perfectly on our devices.
Here's where to get the files and how to install them. Although all of the features are safe and shouldn't explode your X10, always remember to back things up in case something gets screwed.
1. Mobile BRAVIA Engine (Thanks Z)
WHAT IT DOES:Enhances picture and video quality ONLY in stock gallery and video app, it won't change the picture quality of the photo itself, just when it's on the x10 screen.
LINK:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193274
INSTALL:Just flash thru xrecovery. BUT, Some custom ROMs like Wolfbreak's and Erickwill's already have those installed, check your ROM developer to see if they have it, don't install this if they have it already! It'll erase some tweaks and settings!

2.xLOUD (Thanks 28spawn and Marcoplo)
WHAT IT DOES:Changes the output of your phone speaker, makes it louder and crisper, and apparently it makes a huge difference.
LINK:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201729
INSTALL:Flash thru xRecovery. Please NOTE: There are a few FCs that occur due to this, like when you change brightness settings through the display option in the settings, as well as the volume sliders in the settings menu. Volume changing works perfectly through the physical rockers, and brightness works fine using another widget, but power control widget doesn't work as well. This is in active developement and should be sorted out and fixed soon.

3.2011 Xperia Launcher (Thanks candyman)
WHAT IT DOES:It's the same launcher as before but faster, smoother, and has a few new features like direct app uninstall through the drawer and support for themes.
LINK:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194540
INSTALLownload APk and install over current home launcher.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4.Sony DLNA App (Thanks llama69)
WHAT IT DOES:Allows streaming of music/videos to computer, there seems to be problems doing it vice versa (computer to x10) but x10 to computer works fine.
INSTALLownload APK, Install, done!

I will update this as I am sure we will get more goodies . The devs are just too great! It sickens me that SE purposely left out these features, but it's to be expected since if it did, it could seriously hurt Arc/other xperia sales, since the X10 is still a very capable device.
Have fun!

2º Slow phone; yes my phone is a little slow, when i go to menu and that stuff , is slow ( using setCPU to increase speed )
3º Slow animations
4º Back/menu lights don´t work ( important thing)
5º Can´t change animated images in background.
Well i guess a lot of things is needed do put this ROM perfect, but we can use daily, nice work team, looks very cool, i will try donate

i will try that launcher thanks
ok, gallery thumbnails load but when i try to load wallpaper doesn't load. Unable to change wallpaper.
Also I have to double tap on OK button for a window to dissapear when changing something (most of the times not always)
Last...I long press wifi, it shows me the available modems. If I leave this screen and then come back to wifi options, available modems list don't appear, not even after I press scan. I have to switch off and on wifi for the list to appear.
That's about it so far!
So i like the default android sistem more than the stock rom of sxs.
So i ve installed fxp 130 and yesterday fxp 131, and some bugs are also on the new update
Some bugs:
- when i download a file with the hdmi the file appears to be broken but when i restart my phone the file work and i don t recive no error
-all sms that have more than 160 chars will give u and error so you are limited to only 160 chars per sms and after u have to make another sms
- if u like to write a sms like you do it in a chat( like more sms in 10 seconds) u ll be surpised because u ll recive an error something like "the message was not sent", so the only thing that u have to make to evoid this error is to wait that the last sms was sent and after you could send another sms
- if u write a sms that has more than 160 chars the person that u ve send the message will recive only a part from the message
- if u close and open the screen i think because the animation the screen in will freeze but only when u are in the menu with apps or in an app..i recoomend u to disable the animation( when u wake the screen) or juzt wait and maybe the screen will be ok in some minutes
- for example if u are in a app and u close the screen and open..u ll have above the app a pic with the lockscreen...just close the screen and open it again to be ok..maybe the phone in this stage will freeze again like i ve said above
- dont know if this an error that all custom roms have but for example when i try to send a message using whatsapp the messsage will be send in 10- 30 mins
- also the screen is not that bright like before( i think it s because.we don t have bravia engine)
- i think that my phone is kinda slower now.when i copy new files on it using usb, the average speed is kinda 900kbs- 1 mbps and for 1 gb i have to wait kinda 1 hour and it s kinda to much of course!
- the batter is not that good but i recoomand u to close the data at night( u also have a profile for.that)
- sometimes the game freezes or ar working like they have low fps
- when u open the camera u have to refocus with it because if u let the camera to autofocus for the first time the pic will be blurry( u just have to tap the screen to refocus)
Good things:
- it s fast
- fast camera( the autofocus it s alot faster.than the stock app)
- it s simple to use
- very good music player and rich with features
- u can customize it very easy
- 300 mb-400 b free of ram( this.is amount that i have in generaly)
- doesn t have useless apps
-good looking
- battery procentage
- torch
- notification led now works
- all basic stuff works .
I ve made this topic because is easy to look here than to read 30 pages tto search the bugs and the working things. Also sorry if if has mistakes but i ve writen it on my phone and.that s why, hope u understand it and if i discover another bug i' ll update the topic..
Hope it wil be usefull. Good luck and enjoy your roms and.always feedback the developers.
When you download a file with HDMI, What ?
Don't know about the text message bug yet as I haven't sent any messages over 160 chars
I don't get any screen freeze
I don't have any problems with Whatsapp
I haven't noticed any difference in screen brightness, Bravia engine only applies to pics and videos
USB transfer seems about the same as before to me, Phone itself definitely not slower
My battery is now way better than it was on stock
I don't play games on my phone so don't know about that one
My camera focus is fine,
Only things I've noticed so far is the HDMI not working, No Bravia engine, no Xloud, No camera Quicklaunch thing and no way to turn camer shutter sound off, Otherwise this ROM is awesome

Just try to open and close the display more.times than usual and the screen will freeze..not the launcher..it wil freeze in menu( with apps) or when ur in app.
It think that the problem.is that the screen doezn t redraw.
I dont know what to say about hdmi becauss i don t use one..but i ve seen alot of people.that have this problem
Also the whatsapp problem others does have it
If ur a "hard-user" u'll notice this kind of errors

Locked unlocked about 20 times in quick succession, same with an app, opened and closed about 20 times and still no freezing, Although I have seen the redraw bug mentioned quite a few times, I just cant recreate it.
I don't use the HDMI either so no biggy for me aswell really.
Still no problems with whatsapp aswell, the only times messages I have sent have taken a while to go through is when the receiving person hasn't had a data connection, But as soon as they get one the message comes through for them. I remember a couple of years ago whatsapp would quite often take ages to send messages but I haven't noticed it for ages.
hmm..maybe ur a lucky one..but this redraw problem has affected alot of people(mayne not all).
---
and regarded to whatsapp...don't know why..mine doesn't work very good , it works but not always.
hope they will fix the REDRAWIng bug in the next release..because I hate to restart my phone sometimes once in a 10 mins.
For the so called redraw bug, try modifying the build.prop file inserting at the end the following line:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
This will give the launcher the highest priority and the system will not close it when some ram is needed. This worked great on my miui!

Root Explorer is maybe the best app. ES File Explorer is also good and can edit files in the system directory. Of course you need root permissions.

- I really have no sense what the features are, except the slim size so please help me with full filling this list!
- Testers are needed!
Instructions:
-Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot
-Enter CWM
-Make a full wipe:
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Flash ROM
Changelog:
Thursday,29th May 2014 / Slim Sandwiches v1.0:
- Beta release (Testers Needed!)
Download:
SLIM SANDWICHES V1.0 WUHU!
And please don't mirror!
Screenshots
Just scroll down one post and you'll see some

Thanks for your hard work!
Cheers

Too bad i always liked the % of akku in the status bar, but i will try this version also.
I like ICS for Sola because everything works fine even the fm radio.
The idea behind this rom is great
- latest rockstable android for sola everything works (even fm radio)
- removed bloatware
- superslim and basic
I dont know if its possible, but it would be nice to update the drivers also in this ROM for GPU etc. i have no idea how to do that.. but everytime when i try Sola ROMs with "updated drivers" they hit 10000points in Antutu and run games smoother. (no overclock i mean, just up to date drivers) Otherwise you will stuck at values arround 8000 in antutu and modern games feel more laggy.
I have one bug, when I switch to data transmission. it's turn, logo of HSDPA shows but when I go to browser only can open Google website, everyone else, didn't work... I get this with few STOCK ICS, and still don't know why.... :silly:
@Moglie I can make a SystemUI (maybe flashable) with battery percentage
And the graphic driver thing. Akkufix and me tried to make the JB mali driver runable on ICS and it worked for him but I couldn't integrate it into my ROM without having bootloops :/ Sorry
@Geek1995 Strange. Never had such problems
Flashed, everything works (lags when entering concatc - but this si sony fault), and hell i thought that i never gonna missed sony ui.. Thank you

I believe what he wants to point out that his SJB rom is quite stable, sans the usual bugs of JB on sola. Its good on daily use but not as quite stable as ICS. Also he hasnt anymore his Sola on him so dev on roms will be hard so he needed the help for testers on this rom.

As I said Im back with some feedback.
I dont have any delay in youtube audio (played in browser)
I succesfully paired my bluetooth speaker via nfc, I can turn on/off nfc.
I had set up guide only at first reboot.
GPS is working properly.
Battery life is good for me. Rom is stable and fast. I think very nice for daily use.
Could torch (like in jb) be added to this rom?

Here is a very simple mod that I wanted to share. This is what has been labeled in the past as the build property to remove a FPS cap on all android devices. This doesn't actually do that but you will see an increase in frames per second by adjusting the EGL swap interval. Unfortunately, this property has always had big issues with visual artifacts that made it useless to use.
I found it frustrating that we could obtain such a high FPS but plagued with issues. So I spent some time and found a new value. One that could actually work on all android devices. Instead of 1 for stock or 0 for modified. Here is the new value...
debug.egl.swapinterval=-60
A general description...
https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/sdk/docs/man/html/eglSwapInterval.xhtml
While other negative values may work, -60 brought the most bang for the buck when it came to benchmarks. I am truly excited about finding a way to make it work and although it's just a new value, I would appreciate if you could give me credit if using this property as it is the first time it will actually work the way we want it. This value didn't just fall from the sky. Certainly no need to ask for any permissions.
WAYS TO USE THIS MOD.
I figured many people would at least like to try this out so I made it as easy as possible for newer and more advanced users. The mod is actually really easy to apply. Simply add it to your build.prop file and reboot or use one of methods below.
METHOD 1.
Use the proper flashable zip to install into init.d so the mod is ready directly after a reboot.
METHOD 2. (recommended)
Use the proper flashable zip to install into /system/xbin and call upon it when needed and disable it when not needed.
INSTALLATION.
Method 1
version 1.1
1. Download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603390
2. Flash in recovery.
3. Reboot.
METHOD 2.(recommended)
version 1
1. Downloadhttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602432
2. Flash in recovery.
3. After you reboot open Terminal Emulator and type the following without the quotes.
4. Type "su" and press the enter key.
5. Type "unlockfps" and press enter. This will activate the property for higher fps.
To deactivate type "lockfps"
NOTE: You may need to toggle your screen off/on to fully activate the mod using method 2.
You will also need to activate the mod again after a reboot. The setting won't survive a reboot with method 2.
UNINSTALL

CHANGELOG
Method 1 version 1.1- Fixed permissions.
I have had people tell me battery life is better and some say it's worse. You be the judge and let us know.
Happy Flashing!
These zips will flash on any device, so If you have something other than an LG G3 you can try it. If you choose to try I definitely suggest using method 2. This way if you run into trouble all you need to do is reboot and the mod is disabled.
PLEASE!
IF YOU TRY THIS MOD ON ANOTHER DEVICE LET US KNOW HOW IT WORKS!!
So far I have positive reports for Samsung and Sony devices.
thanks bro. gonna try it on my vs985
Installed on my D855 and it improves animation speed an in overall system fluidness. I'm using it in combination with LSpeed tweak and working perfect, for battery impact, if there will be one, will see after daily use. Thanks for this my phone is flaying, so to speak.

Yea. I thought it was only going to work in games and such but it seems to make everything a little quicker and smoother. Scrolling etc... I wasn't expecting that.
after installing unlockfps antutu score not bad, using darkknight rom.
getting around 42+++ on antutu as well. & yes, everything seem much snappier, considering i got shedloads of listview, ime & toast animations (xuimod/xposed, ftw!).
good example is gosms. starting the app uncached is almost instantaneous. then when i go to a long thread (conversations w/ wifey, go figure) i could really say that load time is quicker than before the mod. close to 1 batt cycle & i don't notice any unusual drain.
tried it on my T700 as well. i'm getting the same results, though antutu scores don't agree. didn't explode so far. btw, does enabling hw/gpu acceleration negate this? or is it the other way around?

I have "force gpu rendering" enabled. To boost 2d rendering but that's it as far as dev options.
If your talking build properties then I really don't know for sure.
Hey,
I use Methode 1 on newest BlizzPop at D855.
For First Time i can say...... Wow amazing. The Rom is very very fast with this Mod. No lags. Smooth and Fluid.
Now i hope the Battery hold.
Test right Now @ work.

For me it seems improve phone and graphics in general, for games I don't know because I don't play games on it. So far didn't notice any heating up or any other side affect from this only improvements and also didn't notice any battery drain.
Working so far
Working great so far ! i also combined this with the CTT mod and the combination is killer so smooth the fastest experience ever!
lg G3 D850 AT&T

flashed on vs985
This mod is amazing! the before and after is huge. My phone already felt really fluid but after installing this is flies--apps open instantly and animations are like butter.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Everyone needs to flash this because the difference it makes is amazing.
NVM!
I combined method 1 with Velocity set to 4300 and a few other tweaks to build.prop, and made this phone run like butter. Only place where I see stutter is on Facebook, but is better than before the mod.
Sent from my Ice Cold D850
Thx alot razz
I have d855 and tried it, method 1 didnt give me any change in antutu benchmark so i tried method 2 and benchmark gave 3000 points more
Both tests after reboot
Why was it locked in the first place?
is this different from the one found in hidden menu? the dynamic lcd refresh on/off - enable 60fps
Sorry for the stupid question... but do i need to add (after i flashed and activated (method2) ) "debug.egl.swapinterval -60" to build.prop ?

It wasn't. This mod is to adjust a swap interval. Not actually unlock anything.
People have just called it that in the past.

You don't need to add anything permanent to the build.prop file. These methods will do it on the fly for you.
Used method one and no longer have slight stutter in notification panel!! Now to try antutu
