as an xperia play lover my self i stared to experiment with play..........
i flashed a lot of roms and kernels....got bricked about 20 times
today i discovered something interesting i found a way to speed up my ics roms without using adreno drivers.
know it is stable as GB
i DID was i took a baseband from a neo L rom and flashed it with flash tool and flashed my ics rom and kernel
once it booted i performed very well with games and can even play videos and run apps much smoother
here is how i did it fast i flashed neo L baseband (u can flash the baseband with out changing or re flashing the rom no factory reset s needed but i think it shoud be done)
and flashing kernel is must or it my not boot up
and i fogot to write is that it also increased my sound volume
dont belive me try for our self
know i am going to try it with neo l know baseband -84 current is 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028G-74
How Much Ram You Get????
And i dont believe its as stable as GB

the performance is not only related to ram you know
Any benchmarks with Your proper baseband and after changing it to neo l?
You did something like the process of installation for MIUI Australia, didn't you? What ROM are you using?

Indeed it is like it.
CosmicDan is passing instructions for flashing the Neo L baseband either for MIUI Australia has a while. But don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying you copied him, just both of you had the same idea. I also was using the baseband 84 of Neo L with SlimBean (a JB ROM) without problems.
Also, basebands can affect radio communications, like wifi, bluetooth, phone signal and phone data connection as far as I know. That is, maybe you can feel a stabler device to every radio transaction, but general UI smoothness is not affected by baseband

Dude, again, don't misunderstand me.
I'm not saying this because you're a junior member, I didn't mean to offend you. I would say this to everyone because we are in a discussion space.
I did some research before my previous post just to confirm what I knew / thought. The baseband control radio communications. Our feeling is a subjective evaluation and I didn't feel differences in UI performance (either in radio performance lol) but I do believe the radio get better because the baseband is newer and it's something expected.

ok then do a little more me be the baseband may also help in developing new roms
i tried many basband only neo, l, v, seems to mach xperia plays with out any error
you know that they have announced 2012 xperia phones (meybe neo l also) have been announced official JB so i am thinking making a JB rom with the basband of a JB official rom
Different basebands may change how the phone searches for a signal, maybe the baseband you use is more stable so the phone uses less resources while searching for a signal maybe? but baseband has nothing to do with performance, that is all rom and kernel side.

Maybe, I'm still on -64 baseband as its the stablest I've found but I plan on flashing Neo L Baseband -87 or -78 tomorrow to see if its any better.
Even if it is possible to get a performance boost from other basebands (IF they use less resources) then it would be minimal, and hardly noticeable.
To test TheCraigs assumption just turn the phone on airplane mode delete the running apps and see if performance has improved or just try the baseband out yourself

Tried that combination, and yes is nice.
But Sony doesnt have reason to give us maximum in midrange phones (in their firmwares).
Developers have reasons to do that.
Thats why we have plenty of roms better than stock.

yep. that's exactly what i mean, if a normal rom is great, what if it is a 'super' rom?
Sent from my ST18i using Tapatalk 2
The latest stock build has been heavily optimised - the difference between it and custom roms in terms of performance is pretty minimal.
However, in terms of native customisation not so much and I don't really like the Sony UI.
Put Apex or Nova launcher on it instead and you have a different beast though.
Stock build, custom kernal, a few mods and Nova launcher = very slick phone.
Not sure if you have a pre-rooted stock .587, but if not:
Download a copy of the stock from boyracers list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627627 (i usually pick generic nordic).
Then follow Knight's insturctions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849802 to root it youself. It's pretty simple and nice to have hold of if you have problems with other roms.
Pair it with something like sirkays ics kernel or the new flykernel and your laughing... Apex launcher gets a +1 from me too
Hi all,
i am new to this great forum and owner of a neo v.
i used stock gb for a while, unlocked bl, rooted it and ****ed the system heavily up because i am a bloody noob
Then i tried CM9 and 10, Spacious ISC, Ice Cream Purness and Polish Blood JB.
Except for Polish Blood, i was not very happy with the performance of the Roms, but maybe that was just because i never updated to official ICS FW and still was on BB 64 (iirc, was for sure some 60ties BB).
Polish Blood is great (and exactly what i am looking for, clean, no imo useless fancy stuff) but as it is not maintained anymore and the last version is still too buggy for my daily use it is also not suitable for me.
Then i decided to go back to Sony ICS, so i relocked BL, flashed .431 FW via Flashtool (my SI is not on the list for .487) and did a seus repair.
So now i am on official ICS from Sony and the Performance is really bad (well CM9 or 10 was not really better tho).
As there is a whole Jungle of Roms out there, i wanted to ask you guys if you can recommend me a Rom/Kernel combination.
What i need/want:
- it should be fast, that is the most important thing, i really dont care about theme engine xy, window animations from jb or designs and wallpapers i won't use anyway. Tbh i preffer it if it's stupid simple and naked (i use OpenBox as WM on my pc...)
- Hdmi and 720p recording must be working
- as mentioned above, i like it simple and clean
Oh and i have two more question...as my neo v doesn't officially supports FW .487 would it be a problem to use a rom based on that fw and must i flash this FW prior to a custom rom based on .487? (in some install instructions i read that you have to do so, in some not...)
Thank you all in advance!
Hello and welcome to the forum! I have moved your thread to the Q&A section. In the future please double check what you are posting and make sure it is in the correct sub-forum. Hopefully you will get better help in this section. Enjoy your time and happy flashing!

Hi, i'm newbie too, but I tried many ROMs, and I can say, that stock .62 FW with some modifications is really faster than all of custom ROMs, except CyanogenMod 7, but it doesn't have some features from stock (like keyboard, HDMI and music player), so 2.3.4 .62 is the best for performance and daily use) now i'm on .587 stock fw, it is fast too, but it have more bugs in games, than gingerbread.

Just for the record, there is an official update for my neo v to .587, although it is not written in the sony si number forum post and i did not get a notification on my phone...i just connected my phone to pcc because i wanted to check, if there is the possibility to backup /data and it told me there is an update available (adb backup don't work on my linux or windows pc...but that's another topic if it still doesn't work with .587, i just want to backup game data and stuff before i re-unlock bootloader).
So maybe there are other users here that could get an update and don't know about it...

that's good to know, i will try out a few more isc roms and if im still not happy, i think i will have a look at CM7. The keyboard is definitely much better than the one brought with CM, but i think it shouldn't be too hard to copy the APK over (if not, there are some good swipe-keyboards in the store), same for the music player, but i liked the one shipped with CM 9 and 10 anyway.
For HDMI, i read somewhere, that it is now working for the neo in CM7 but i have to check that again.

i used Pureness for quite a while (version 11) and want to give it another try, as i was not on .587 and BB 77 as ThilinaC writes in the install instructions.
The performance was good after reboot, but it slowed down quite fast. I know he writes that i should restart my phone once a day, but i don't like this as a permanent solution. With Polish Blood i used the phone for a week, and it was almost as fast as it was after the boot. But well the one is ICS and the other JB, i know (although CM10 was not really fast compared to Polish Blood)...
If JellySandwich and Ultimate HD become laggy after some time of usage too, i will go back to GB or just restart my phone every day

I tried it for a couple of days, and i must say the multitasking build is really fast, even after a few days without reboot. The only problem is, that i can't play games like temple run because it lags as hell (even with the games build), only after fresh reboot it runs smooth for a while. But as playing games is not so important, i might stick to that rom, just want to try out a few others before.
ah ok because I do not really react with the mobile games so no idea how to play it.
sorry for my english must always write only in German and translated via google leave.

Ok found JJ's Hybrid ROM and it is just awesome! Pure AOSP feeling without the bugs that non sony-based roms have (ie bad touchscreen) but also not the problems that many sony-based roms have (slow phone, contacts, etc apps). It is not as fast as some other roms and the app drawer lags sometimes, but it is still fast enough (after a few hours of usage, just after the first boot it feels laggy for an hour or two) and the pure aosp ui is unbeatable smooth imo.
So, great rom, i can just recommend it!

Hello all, I am a new Xperia U user. My parents bought me one on Saturday. I have some basic knowledge about Android as I was a Nook Color boy earlier...
Q1. Now I have unlocked its bootloader, and I have installed KASpeed ROM v3 and the KA Speed Kernel v 6.1. I initially had WIFI issues but I fixed 'em. Now the KA Speed Kernel is overclockable, if I am right. So could somebody please tell me how to do so (overclock). I tried many apps (setcpu, no frills CPU control) but all of them say my max clock speed is 1000 MHz only while the kernel promises 1.15 GHz. Help!
Q2. I have installed flashtool successfully and I can flash kernels using fastboot but I cant seem to flash .ftf packages using flashmode ( green LED mode). Whenever I try to do so it says " reading header file" and suddenly "flash aborted"
Q3. Is it possible to make a CWM flashable zip from a .ftf package. I have seen videos of some aIUP.exe or something, I tried but doesn't work.
Any other method?
EDIT= Q4. How do I turn off my LED bar in the Music Player? I don't see any such option in LEDs U CTRL app. So please help///
My Phone's info for reference-
Model - ST 25i
Android - 2.3.7
ROM - KA03 Xperia SSpeed
Kernel- 2.6.35.7 SSpeed Kernel

I'm no expert in XPERIA U, but I have XPERIA P and I think will get much less complications if you update your XPERIA U to ICS first.
about Q2 it might be a driver problem..
and Q3 I saw some kernels which are flashable by CWM but I have no idea about creating them
Much more roms and tweaks are available to XPERIA U with ICS than with Gingerbread, you should update and than start customizing your XPERIA

Sorry, i didn't know that the stock ICS is laggy on SXU because on my SXP it's smooth.
Maybe if you do update to ICS and install a custom ROM it would not be as much as laggy
I'm currently using Xperia Ultimate HD ROM which is an ICS based. I'm thinking of unlocking my bootloader and install a JB based ROM.
I would like to know which ROM you guys are using? GB, ICS or JB based?

As far as i know only a dev can update the gpu drivers for his rom or kernel...
Also, upgrading the gpu drivers is not something that will make ur phone much better.... Usually there are just minor improvements

coming back to the OP question - linux and linux based architectures (android) are unique because their drivers are integrated in the kernel of the OS. Therefore, updated drivers are only available in updated kernels, one of the reasons why kernel incompatibilities arise (roms are rarely compatible between different versions of kernels). In short, updated drivers means newer kernel.
As far as newer versions of roms are concerned, they usually have updated and optimised libraries utilising the same underlying drivers, imparting an impression of improved performance.
soft brick
For the walkman you can try acid sound mod it comes included or QcAE(currently using it)
For restarts its a kernel or rom issue download again and try again, if not working

Always read instructions!
