Can anyone make the look of ICS to GB? everything (so it's has the feature of ICS, but it's feel like GB)
I like the old GB look, but i want all feature of ICS or Xperia Z..
any cusROM with base GB i had, always change it's look to NXT series, Xperia GO, Z, T.
I love GB, or anyone can make the look of xperia x10 (Enclair look perhaps), i love it, i want a try
sorry for my bad english.
*the point is : i want the look of old, and the feature (like small app) of youth

Well, you're right. But nowadays, some cool apps have requirement that you must in ICS if u want to use it (Like launcher, or DOCOMO launcher??)
So i like to use all the feature of ICS, but still in a look of GB.
even if i use CUSROM, they make the look into ICS or JB.
I like the old time

Okay guys,
All of us know about the imminent ICS update that our phones are receiving/will receive. Users of Ray, Neo V and Arc S have already the chance to upgrade to 4.0 version of the little robot.
But, after reading reviews or watching videos, i can notice that there are many voices of displeasure about the update. Phones getting slower, battery drains, HD games lagging or just not working...
What do you think:
-In this month, Will Sony develop a reworked version of the update (fixing all bugs described), releasing it for first time for the next phones in the list -XM, XMP, LWW, Arc, Neo, Pro-, and also for the phones that have already received the first update?
-What will you do? Will you update and keep ICS? Will you just test? Or you will stay on GB?
More info will be appreciated (official news, ...)
sorry for my english
This should not be a problem.
If you dont like the official ics roms, you can always go back to stock gb.
Or just make a custom ics roms based on the official ics.

well.
Well man as i am a user o xperia NEO V and had this update,I think that it does not worth it...it is laggier/some apps not working and the overall speed of my phone had ruined..Not that much,but as i play HD games, I can feel the difference...Finally,it is useful that games based on orientation are not working on my ICS NEO V,but were working smoothly on GingerBread ICS neo v!
Conlcusively,as i have unlocked the bootloader of my second phone XperiaMiniPRO and tried ICS on beta stage...i think that this small screen is not for ics...Gingerbread is more smooth,better,better and better
I dont think that SONY will fix these bugs for now,i cant predict for summer but I really hope!

This is opinion, GENERAL discussion about our devices. This topic concerns to all of us. It's OBVIOUS that BETTER ICS custom roms will exist after the release of the update. Please give more mature opinions
About djnik7... I think, would ICS run faster on the mdpi devices? i think, as the screen resolution is smaller than the Neo V, Ray, etc., the processor has to deal with less graphics to run...

alright then my opinion is, the official ics will not run any better on our devices. although im still not sure because we havent even taste it yet.
but due to other xperia users who has has experienced ics, most of them complaining about it, like slow fps, high usage of battery and ram and that kind of stuff but yet im still not sure,
because who knows ics made for lww, xmp xm or active are probably different than ics that are already came to ray, neo v, arc s and it could probably be even better.
so our bet is just wait and try it for ourself
if one not satisfy of its performance, just wait for an updates 2.4.2, 2.4.4 and so on or just go back to stock gb 2.3 or maybe wait for someone make an ics roms that are based on the official ics.
Will certainly test ICS, after that we will see.
A small note to previous user: ICS is Android 4.0, not 2.4

Anyone tried ICS for xperia mini yet?? Please give feedback about the rom used. I would like to see which ICS for XM I wanna use thanks!
anyone? :highfive:
I can say only about official ICS.
I was excited about update and the wait was painful, but when was released, I reverted back to old official rooted firmware with Launcher Pro and alot of stock aps removed.
I don't like the new ICS. The interface is realy ugly in my opinion. It looks like an alpha build without a proper theme. The text is fuzzy, but there is a font size feature. The small is useless, the medium looks more fuzzy than in GB and large is way to large.
What can you do in ICS and can't do in GB ? The only cool feature I found is the integrated advanced data traffic monitor, and larger file size on photos. (but the camera apk was redesigned with bad interface) In GB I installed a modded camera apk with better quality compression for photos and videos, and the default data monitor is enough for me (update v6)
They say the ICS require better hardware. I don't know how it works with games, because I am not interested, but from other Xperia phones I heard that performance is worse.
For me, ICS brings nothing great for my Mini. Maybe is better for other phones but for Mini the long awaited ICS looks like its ported in a rush in few days. Maybe Android 5 will worth the update.

How I can Get the Modded Camera.apk ?
Hi,
As subject says.
I am having right now white xperia mini pro But i am planning to buy Xperia U. Should I buy???
would u suggest to buy? if not may u would lik to tell my why
I will be really thankful if u help me, i m really confused
The only real differences are the Software and the design.
My mom got an Xperia U and it's really awesome, the only downsides are the camera (bad in darkness) and no MicroSD card slot.
The Xperia U has a very beautiful design and a camera shutter button. The One V is thin and simple but the chin is very ugly and so unneccesary.
On the software you'll have to tell yourself, I personally like the Sony UI and Sony has some great apps, but also a lot of bloatware, I've only had Xperia Phones so I haven't had a TouchWiz or Sense phone, but from what I've seen I think that Sense is really ugly EXCEPT for Sense 4 (I think the One V has Sense 4) which is actually really beautiful and ICS optimized, also the Xperia U won't get ICS for a few months but if that doesn't concern you then I recommend the Xperia U.
Here are video reviews of the UIs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqU055WWofY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D31VMIJuMBs
I won't recommend xperia U.Personally I don't have it.My friend recently bought it and he regrets it.The main draw backs are no support of Devs(atleast for now).No ICS out of the box.Although sony promised an update we don't know when(correct me if I'm wrong)
So a better choice would be (according to me) Galaxy Nexus.It has got the best dev support.You get "instant" updates.And stock experience is what I like.So add a few bucks get Gnex.Only down side is bit a lag in 3d games but better than Xperia U.And other alternative is keep your xperia mini and get the Nexus 7 tablet if u aren't committed to a phone .
Hope I helped You.Think twice before buying

I was gonna recommend Galaxy Nexus too but it's a little more expensive.
You're right, Xperia U has a small community, but it's still pretty new and Sony Mobile isn't that big in the US, mostly sold in Sweden and Japan. Also Gingerbread SUCKS but if you're patient you can wait for ICS, and this guy just got ICS for his Xperia Mini so he's used to GB.

I think Gnex is not in India i guess, correct if i am wrong.
The phones just launched and the dev support will be there slowly i think.
Out of the Box Ics is not a importnt thing when u can get it by updating later or sooner
I already got dell streak with 5inch screen and ipad. so i guess i wont go for gnex7 tab

Well you could always hope for a direct Jelly Bean upgrade, but Sony are so lazy with skinning Jelly Bean so I wouldn't think so.
But Jelly beans on Xperia U .......eehhhhh
wen Ics update decreases the RAM then i think JB will kill it. i mean JB will be requireing alot space.

Hi Guys!
Well i bought a Xperia Mini Pro its my first physical QUERTY Android Keyboard. Its a amazing phone and i love it =D. Actually it has ICS 4.0.4 rooted, the nice, but is not faster than 2.3.4 but the UI its the reason to have it.
I'd like to know which game or app i can use it and to do it greater =D
I had a X8 and i installed all the ROM's (no stock) than i found, but now its different i have to unlock de bootloader and more thing... i cannot do it cus i dont have more time (my job... =[ ) so, i just use the Stock ROM, but i wanna know all your advices, cheats and all u know for the SK17 =)
something like... I Got a Xperia Mini Pro Mini.... so now what?
Thanks for ur time and sorry for my english =D.
NOTE: I not trying to make a dilenma about ICS or Ginger, i just wanna know about apps or something to make it better (the phone with android).
ICS is bigger, heavier, you can't make it faster than GB.
I mean something like
Themes for Xperia Mini Pro with ICS 4.0.x Stock ROM
Amazing Themes!
Hello guys, i had sony live with walkman, but he broke.
Now, i liked xperia sola, but, on XDA xperia sola development have little custom roms, so, with the arrival of ics on sola, roms will emerge as there are on other devices? like xperia ray, live with walkman and others that have much custom roms...
sorry by my english...
In next time CM9.1 will come to our sola For sure in Future will come more Developing for the sola i think, but not as much as for the XperiaRay or the XperiaS :/ The XperiaS is widespread and the sola not, it's more a "low active" device i think but ROM's are not all! The important think is that you have a smartphone which you really like and not a smartphone with that you can change everyday to a new ROM!
And sorry for my bad English

Do not go for it. Buy any other brand. The development for U,P and Sola is like zero. Even after ICS i don't think there'll be any good development. Go for sAmsung device. I know they're ugly and all but the development is awesome.

Nonsense !
There is no sense in developing for GB because ICS is right behind the corner.
After getting ICS there will be plenty of ROM's ! U and P are the same phone, only differences are screen size and ram therefore every rom that comes to P can be ported to U in no time.
Samsung devices are crap in matters of build quality.

Same happened with my Atrix. came to a NEW board and now its highly developed
Good luck !
I just got the xperia U today, awesome phone !
I own a galaxy note and yes the development in that board is astounding. With the Sola, I'd wait til ICS comes out and see if development picks up, if it's that important to you. I got a Sola as a backup device and I can tell you that I'm extremely happy with it. For my requirements, it's very reliable and cost effective. It runs games and apps flawlessly. temple run doesn't lag! Lol

Xperia U is nice, but doesn´t have micro sd slot, i put many musics, videos and games... só because that i prefer the sola...
I think I'll risk buying the xperia sola. I´m not a maniac chance rom, but, I like to put roms that improve the performance, add to quick panel, for example...
Thank you for all answers...

The last time i use a custom rom is on my x10 mini .
For me the custom rom is for those phone which cant get official update .
I don care about the fancy UI thing as you already can do it by installing launcher pro etc
The ICS on xperia P which using same chip with sola is running more than decent .
So it probably does not need any custom rom at all . At most some clean version of stock rom without bloatware .
Just my opinion .
IF...
if you want to have your phone updated as fast as it can be you should buy google backed smartphone like galaxy nexus, companies using android are not to keen on making hasty updates to already sold phones so its better to stay close to the source of android development. If i could get my money back from my Sola i would do so and then i wouldn't hesitate to save some money and buy nexus or sgs II (which used in good shape are like 20-30% more expensive). I should know to not trust Sony in making the ideal phone for me (it was, on paper..) nevertheless its a good phone but in that price range its purchase ain't reasonable IMO.
Since I started using it there were no positive surprises, just the bad ones for ex. you can't make folders in the main app menu, I can't comprehend why on home screen folders can be created, but in app menu you can not make them so with a lot of apps its one giant mess. other trivial example is the Sony's ICS rollout, which is very sluggish and as far as Sola is considered i think it might be the last major update to its firmware.
For me its 5.5/10 in terms of overall satisfaction of owning it.
