Hi, guys.I'm here with a question.Which rom(s) do you use?And why?What makes you keep using gb, ics or jb?What do they have special?For instance, I'm sick of lagging ics roms and i installed cm10 and i returned to ics.And what i realized is especially Sony's stock camera app and other portable apps makes me use stock-based ics.(You would know how ugly the camera app of cm stuff is if you tried cm9/10.)'Nuff said.What are your reasons?
I was MIUI ICS for long and changed to pacman 4.1 and CM10 (4.1) all these ROM are not daily drivers. So now just wondering which is best config and Android version gives optimal performance on aging Neo Hardware.
I have Xperia Neo V with locked boot-loader and stock kernel .587. After trying several ROM I have settled on 'Ice Cream Pureness', with a few of my own changes, like Cyber-shot camera 7.1.2, Walkman, stock calendar, etc. This is very smooth ROM, with no bloat ware, and lots of free Internal memory.
MIUI
MIUIv2
based on CyanogenMod 7
I am Using MIUIv2 MultilangV4.6.2 because:
Lot's of Free Ram -> Up to 230 MB
Lightning Fast
Nice Battery Performance
No Errors like FC & etc (Only FC in Sync Settings)
Bright User Interace Easy to use good-feeling
Lot of other reason
I suggest everyone ti try it once;

In my opinion MIUI v2(GB) is houndered times better than MIUIV4(ICS)
I use Codename X by eman
Why?
-Stable
-Fast
-Options
-Free Ram
-Nice design (but keyboard sux)
-And CyanogenMod is comercial for me :laugh:
For now i using MIUI Australia v 2.11.30
After try other rom,for me this one is the great rom for my device.
Coz not so many custom rom for Neo L :crying:
Hi,
I used Sony ICS on my Neo V and I was all the time thinking to downgrade to GB. Now I have installed CM10 and I am quite happy. It is true that it is not stable and there are some features missing, but I have quite a good performance. I miss mostly the camera features, but there are some apps on the market that are really helpful (Vignette or Pano/360 for panorama).
Mine lol
im using my first rom BRABUS NXT for Neo V based on GB
1) lots of free ram [265mb at first reboot]
2)smooth interface based on Xperia Z
3) great battery when overclockked on stock 1024 gHz
4)nice performance
5) most beautiful launcher/systemUI/framework
try it if you like it
ROM Cooked On My Own. (Basically Stock Based, ICS)
Reasons:
-Able to choose selective apps & mods
-Able to theme the way I want it
-Stock base because it is bugfree.
-ICS because there are more mods & apps available which are not compatible with Gingerbread.
-Finally, don't have to wait for the updates!

For now I'm using Gin2JellyBean ROM (based GB 2.3.7) by vokal1992. All I want just stability, no lags, music, and camera. And I think I got thats all in this ROM :victory:
Using Legacy Xperia 10.1 (2013/09/08 release)
1/ Its stable, havn't had any FC or restarts.
2/ The ROM is nice and smooth / no lag issues.
3/ Its Jelly Bean - maybe its a personal preference but I tend to like JB better than ICS.
4/ Quite a good amout of free storage and no issues with RAM either.
1 con is that my battery tends to last me about 12h I feel that the battery drains rather fast even with the screen off. However so far the above pros does negate this one for me.
I have been using the ZellyCream 3.0.1 with Stock ICS Kernel
Pros:
1. Nice look and feel
2. Install Apps directly to SD card - built in feature
3. Kill apps via back button, 30 Step volume, Skip tracks via volume key and many such small but useful features for day to day use
4. Very much stable for daily use
5. Good battery life
Cons:
1. Initially used to give quite a lot of free RAM, but after a few days and installing the regular apps, the amount of free RAM went down
Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0 with Alliance kernel.Fast,stable with unified and pretty design.Before this one I used Gagan's Zelly Cream 3.0.1 as my daily ROM,that one was good too but UHD 5.0 is faster and prettier.Dont like Jelly Bean ROMs because they have crappy camera and are often buggy.
I use CM 10 ... I used to run on MIUIv4 ... but sice I ve tried JB everything has changed ... ICS is slow for me and GB is old. I think it s worth of HDMI and 720p recording.
I just moved from STROID to Xperia Z Jelly Bean purely for 'beauty' reasons. I installed the ROM last night and have been really impressed by its beautiful GUI. I don't plan to play a lot of games so I don't know whether it can perform well for heavy games.
It's always a question of Performance or Appearance
I use 4.2.2 Mike's rom with few Xperia apps to get stock feel it's pretty stable also latest rom we can enjoy latest features... Only thing i'm missing is camera quality
CM10.1 by LegacyXperia
Why?
- Smooth
- Fast
- AOSP look
- Android 4.2.2
- Kernel 3.4

Is there such thing as a rom that is bugless and stable?
For X10 mini? Thank you.
i think stock 2.1 is the best, no camera problem, no keyboard problem, no sensor problem
Stock rom is the best. No battery problems, no many forse closes , and everything is working but is more laggy than the other roms and you can't get the FULL capabilities of your device!!! On the other hand ROMs from xda's offer you newer versions and most of the times more stable than the stock one and you can take advantage of all the capabilities of your phone, but you may experience some hardware problems (and software ones) like audio jack detection, can't send or receive text messages ...etc. If you are not sure just use multiboot (Stock one inside the phone and some others in the sdcard)!!!
Hope I've helped!!!
I had reboots and poor battery life even with stock. As long as you use the right launcher and undervolt, battery is much better with cm6 and cm7. Latest versions of both are also very stable, fewer reboots and force close than stock from my pov. Camera is only issue with cm7.
Sent from my X10mini using XDA Premium App
but of course there are bugs...
LED color change is buggy on miniCM7, camera has no autofocus, so you can't read QR. For some reason I can't use flashlight toggle button on status bar like I can with miniCM6. Battery life & startup time is better than miniCM6, but worse than with stock firmware - definitely worse. GPS takes longer to fix (cold start, without GPS assistance data downloaded) than on stock firmware. There are still many bugs in miniCM7. The only better thing about it - it looks nice
Stock 2.1 is very stable, but I vote for Andread 2.2.9 v7f. Best Froyo ROM I´ve tested until now! Very stable, lite size, no extra features, everything working.
there's bug on the roms u must to try it ...
Which one better?
As long as you dont want any of these changes/updates, 1.0 is better.
LP7 kernel
LPE modem
contact widgets fixed
call recorder added
CM9 AOSP apps and T9 dialler
font issues %98 fixed
new remix ics bootanimation (thanks to vreestyle)
new lidroid statusbar and settings
battery performance improvement
system performance improvement
APEX launcher updated
fast wifi browsing and gps
digital ics clock widget added
phone dialler performance improvement
deep sleep works perfect
best ics experience
device twice fast and twice fluid. (this rom ll make u addict )
I suppose it is a valid question, as there have been many users having trouble going to the newer ROM... but I think it's because many didn't install properly or skipped procedures and didn't keep up with any bug fixes. That's why I posted a more detailed installation guide HERE.
As far as performance goes, I was happy with 1.0 and believe my battery was slightly better - but it could be because I'm trying out the Siyah 3 kernel now on v1.1.
Hello everybody, but I have this little doubt. I have an Xperia Mini ST15 am currently on Gingerbread, but many should know the new Jelly Bean advantages such as: Project Butter, notifications bar with notifications preview, improved system performance and gaming performance, Google Now , the Lock Screen and user interface. Currently I learned that you can put Google Now on devices with Ice Cream Sandwich. But my question is if I can have the advantages mentioned above. Please respond. I am a Noob. XDA the best forum in the world.

You can try installing JB-based ROMs. There are plenty of them in the Development section.

oh I see, I tried cyanogen mod 10, but they miss many things like the quality of the camera, xLOUD, bravia engine, smile detection, hd recording, etc. so I want to have the advantages of jelly bean in stock ics sony, to keep those benefits!

bro, they DON'T MISS THEM.
for camera: coplain to sony, they didnt rleased cam libs so we have no choice., & cant do much (as take what we had)
xloud & bravia engine are sony specific stuff, may some ppl say this are improvments other may see this as bloatware crap , even cm has its own soundmod the dsp manager which is not combatible with xloud & u can even turn it louder ...
hd recording is disabled bcuz its very buggy at JB (at ics tooo but bit more leess due to good libs), also we have 20mb more ram. there is a lupus kenel which ad 720p recording enabled, but if u make a vid with it u see the buggyness xD (useless when moving...)
this wahat u want is imposible. (both things) and will never be.
u have the choice:
buggy ICS, with many mods & stuffs
powerful JB, with less (oem) stuffs.

Totally Agree.

What Do We Do With A Cam Of 5MP Without Hd Cam??
But Still Jb is Awsome
This is my first rom I hope you like it :fingers-crossed:

Credits
Pizza_Dox (for turbo script)
Wedgess (for zram enabeler and modules)
Slaid480 (For awsome tweaks)
Bakisha (for the fixed neo l firmware and for helping in though times )
serajr (for GX launcher)

How to play HD games
In terminal type "turbu" or "swapit" turbo will prepare your device for gaming and with swapit you can configure the swap file, its not recommended that you use both at the same time. To disable turbo restart your device and to disable swap in terminal type swapoff.
Bugs
The rom gets stuck on boot logo sometimes, if that happens just reinsert the battery
Auto brightness cant be disabled for some weird reason FIX

Look nice. I'll try this ROM now
I want to try this once my bandwidth limit refreshes (stupid ISP!) but may I ask, what's wrong with Video Recording? Isn't that supposed to be controlled by the kernel?

Sometimes when you stop recording the app yust crashes and sometimes it dosent save it i am curently trying to fix it new version will be out soon
EDIT:It was the kernel after all, you need to flash the 720p version the down side is that it uses more ram
New version relesed!
This is the best performance ICS rom I've seen for ages!!!!! I can play GTA San Andreas with no FC unlike other roms
Look at those posts on the SA thread here and here to see my review
Also it has a lot of internal space as shown in tthe OP, but for some reason I didn't have that much fre RAM. Anyway rom is smooth as butter. Trubo mode is good for heavy game, but it ruins multitasking, so don't activate it unless you need it.
Rom is awesome, but it will be better if you add some little features which we are really used to:
- notification toggles
- reboot options and screenshot by power button longpress (maybe with xposed framework module)
- battery percentage icon
Camera recording has an autofocus bug. It continously zooms in and out for some reason
This review was done in base of v1 with 720p Lupus ICS beta. Will try the v1.1 ASAP

I have seen the review before
You have les ram because of 720p kernel version which uses more ram than 480p where video recording dosent work
The notification toggles is something I wanted to add but ot uses 50mb of ram which is alot (i could make a addon zip for it)
The reboot and screenshot will be aded as soon as i learn how to do it without xposed framework and battery percentage is something i will look in to
I have noticeed that the camera can be buggy i will try to fix it as soon as i can.

I know the 720p kernel uses more ram, but its not too much (~20 mb). I mean the sreenshot in OP has 225mb free ram and I only get 150-180 mb free.
Anyway, great rom. And GREAT BATTERY LIFE!!!!! I've been using this rom with a single charge for 3 days now, and thats after playing SA for 30 min daily, Facebook profile checks on browser, a few calls to coordinate new year party and a lot of music playing

i was using this rom as my daily driver for today
bugs:
1-some ui lags that they are all related to ***** android 4.0.3 beta (i think its better to update your rom with a new version like 4.1.b.13)
2-some soft reboots due to my heavy usage(its ok to have this problem. i only had it in gta san andreas that is a very heavy game.)
anything else seems to be fine
but i don't understand why you removed calculator (because it doesn't eat any ram)

Ive noticed that the rom can be buggy sometimes and i will update it as soon i get my kernel up and running on it, and i removed the calculator because it can be downloaded from the playstore if its needed...
wow you are going to make a kernel
great news for us
only a suggestion for your kernel
add custom partition to it like the one that wedgess made for his lupus kernel
Can anyone advise what is the current lightest, and fastest ROM?
Coming from linux, it's pretty easy to pick a light weight distro, there are a tonne of very small but very fast options, with android it's much harder to tell what's light weight / fast, and what isn't.
I don't want to retire my S3, but it's getting a fair bit of lag on CM 11.2 (March release) 4.4.4.
Bump for interest
So no opinions?

i'm using axuan's (4.4.4 - AXUAN i9300sksukni3 - s5 - note4style - V2 TW ROM) debloated rom further improved by zuziemanis (kopet huan 416mb - best or kopet note4 542mb - themed), so far i find it the lightest. i can run CoC, spirit fm/music, torrenting without one of them being killed by lmk.
2 issues:
1. gps not working in power saving mode.
2. only spirit fm radio works
other tw roms:
1. back-to-noot 4.4.4 ported 694mb - no theme, plain, vanilla-like
2. [4.4.2] QSBased SmartDroid Simple KK 426mb - heavily debloated (have a bloatwares pack available), stable, ram management still can't beat 4.4.4
for aosp, cm, etc i'm not happy with the keyboard predictions & auto spacing (google, swype, emoji, etc), i can't recommend any.
