Hi,
I have tried CM GingerBread ,CM ICS 9 and 9.1 and CM Jelly Bean(Alpha 142 build) versions of firmware in my Xperia RAy
ST18i model smartphone and what i understood is while installing all these, we will get a million options to get control
of our device i am pretty happy with those firmwares,but the problem which i noticed in all the firmwares which i tested,
CM eats a lotta battery and many a times it get stucked while doing multi tasking. So i decided to go with Stock GB ROM
which seems to be very stable,getting two days of battery and I am very happy travelling with that. But id like to try out
more custom ROM's and optimize my smartphone again.Which one do you suggest for me?
Device:Xperia Ray ST18i
Baseband: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-56
kernel-2.6.32.9
Bootloader-Unlocked
ROM:STOCK GB ROM
Try MIUI, aosp, PA or some vanilla

Hi there,
Let me get this straight. Yes, there are MANY types of AOSP ROMS, but here's the problem:
-Most ROMs are based on Sony's stock ROMs from Xperia Z or CM10
-Some ROMs are only on 4.1.1
-Developers added mods/tweaks to their AOSP ROM.
Would it be possible if a stock,clean and stable AOSP ROM be ported to Xperia Neo/Neo V? I'm using mikegapinski's AOSP 4.1, but it lacks some features and is sadly ASIS. I'm not really demanding for one, but it would be good if there are vanilla jelly bean ROMs. I might have missed some pure ROMs while searching, so if there are any do recommend them.
Thank you.

Not sure about that but it sure would be a good thing if we had Android 4.1/4.2 with full functionality,that means 720p recording too.I have been trying to find a good Jelly Bean (4.1 or 4.2) ROM for my Neo for quite a while now,real JB (no hybrids with ICS though they can be nice too) and had mixed results.Lupus JB kernel comes with 720p option and that works on some ROMs,so far Super Jelly Bean 4.0 and Xperia Z Jelly Bean (rather new ROM) have been the best for me,many other CM10 and CM10.1 based ROMs I tried were full of bugs.I am also putting high hopes in nAa and his 3.4 kernel,performance with it is great but it consumes a lot of battery and it doesnt seem to support 720p recording at the moment.As for pure AOSP ROMs for Xperia Neo and Neo V I dont think I encountered one,will let you know if I find it.
What I find disappointing with Jelly Bean ROMs is their generally poor customization options when it comes to appearance,most of them look like Cyanogenmod on which they are based on and while I really respect the work of Cyanogenmod team I find their ROMs visually quite disappointing.And the best launchers and system UIs that can be flashed are mostly for ICS only.
True. Also the near-AOSP ROMs are based on mikegapinski's ROM. Thanks for the suggestions
Hey
i wanted to get a new rom on a friends xperia U - he is arguing about bad speed and a slow phone.
which one would you recommend? She only uses whatsapp, facebook and kamera, so no special things needed...
thanks a lot!
Which Android version she want?
Listen,
I tried many roms , and in my opinion the lightest and most smooth rom is (SlimCM)
but you have to flash ICS Gapps for it if you need it, and if you want install Greenify to control apps working at background like whatsapp and Facebook
I think the smoothest ROM for xperia u is CM 10.2, but it has some small bugs so if she want a bugless ROM she can use slimCM even if it isn't as smooth as CM 10.2
This is best rom..

if you want JB 4.1.2 rom then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284394 this rom is best..
it is comptible with all xperia p mods+ best ram management...........
and if you are looking for ICS rom then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215284 this rom is best rom.....
i dont think ics needs ram mangement.....
all above are stock or stock based roms.....
if you want your android version above 4.1.2
then CM ROM'S(with some bugs..) are there....
CyanogenMod for sure!
But if it's only a user-friendly behavior, go for SlimCM or just look in the forum and choose the best for your needs, also be careful and read the thread before flashing.
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda premium
so i have a Sony Xperia S (LT26i), and i used to have ICS 4.03, now i upgraded to JB 4.1.2
i don't really like the way JB looks, but i like that it moves faster and smoother. i also want to install Cybershot Camera mod, wich is for ICS mostly. i rooted my phone, i unlocked bootloader, i installed ClockWorkMod.
My question is, what ICS rom (stock or custom) would you recommend me, that has hotfixes and runs faster than ICS 4.03.
kinda runs fast like jellybean but is ICS) ? mainly for gaming and camera.
PS: i think i like this guys ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125370

Your only options are stock Roms for now. Aosp still has too many bugs to be a daily. Use xpower (just a debloated.224, deodexed, DRM fixed, all in one package stock ROM) and give androplus v34 a try. Battery life is great with androplus but performance isn't.I've been running the stock kernel with patches from the xpower installer with reduced battery life and overheating but I do get better performance.
