I don't care if it's ICS/JB or GB but I need a fully working ROM (camera, phone etc.)
Please suggest, I have less then a week to choose.
Thanks.
Real ICS or ExMIUI are good ICS rom for me. Stable n battery consumption are good. Don't know for jelly bean as i never try it. Best GB was stock rooted GB.

Good ones, but I need to use my phone's camera more often now, which is the best? except stock
Don't know about MIUI but I'm using real ICS 4.1(think it is better than 5.1/5.2) and in my opinion is the best rom and the camera is good, there are the Xperia S camera app and the Panorama 3d app.
I don't know about the cam app. I flashed my phone many times with many roms n kernels, not see any difference, as the rom based on same base.
Maybe others know what rom with best camera.
I'm using Real ICS+MESA. It's stock based, but miles ahead from it.
Stock cam app utilises camera the best I think. Although you can use external apps like Lg Camera, which is pretty customisable.
Spartan ROM is also a very good ROM... but it's stock

So I noticed that a lot of underpowered devices have miniCM10 and some CM10, and are recieving JellyBean,
So I wanted to ask what is it that my device (Xperia Sola) or for now any of this forum's devices, haven't recieved jelly bean?
I mean, other than official. For Example My old device, which i now half way regret of changing (Xperia X8) although it is single core 800mHz low range phone already has miniCM10 while we are stuck with CM9? I mean, Why? Why do low range phones get what we should get Officially Cause, The X8 was launched with android 1.6 and stopped at android 2.1 (Officialy) And now is running Android 4.1?
Besides, Whats with the Sony forum post where they say Xperia Go has some combination that Xperia Sola And Xperia U Dont have...
It kinda makes me want to trade back. I still have faith in my new phone, but... Starting to lose it slowly...
Any Explanation would be welcomed.
P.S.
I know it seems like a noob Q, and I don't underestimate the dev's effort or accomplishments, but just thinking that if a small 3 inch 800Mhz low range phone can run Jelly bean, why can't ours run it too?
(Xperia Go already has Jelly Bean rom, So does SGSIII Mini (Launched with it) So why cant we port them to each other?)
Those phones are based on qualcomm process and all sources for development of cm10 are available for them
U sola go p are based on a new novathor chipset and sources for jb are not present
So thats why we have an ALMOST STABLE cm9 bt no cm10
Regarding sony's decision of not upgrading u n sola bt upgrading p and go
P has 1gb ram
Go has less no of pixels favoring smooth running of jb
Bt this not justifies how xperia j can run jb smoothly
Have some patience my friend
Fxp said that they will start wid cm10 soon
Greetings my dear friends.
I'm here to give my verdict on the upgrade to ICS after 2 months using the ICS Stock ROM I could finish something. Read and understand.
I have an XPERIA U ST25a retail brazilian.
Sure, the stock ICS ROM is very attractive, all good new stuff found in Android 4.0 are very good, like the new UI or settings menu, the toggles easily accessible are very useful, but the apparent instability and slowness (in moments) make me think why I bought this phone, and also think about going back to the old but great stock GB ROM.
And yes, i use ICS ROM, I made my own modifications and tweaks to the all-bloated ICS Stock ROM get the maximum performance.
But the bugs are really ridiculous.
The battery only charges sometimes if the phone is restarted, otherwise the indicator will be locked at 39%, for example.
The camera seems to be slow compared to the old Stock GingerBread ROM.
The open / close applications is not slow, but sometimes the application takes to respond as if something sucking the system performance.
All these bugs may (or may not) be Sony's problem, but since the era of my old devices I have these SAME problems in some ICS ROMs (I've also tested the FXP CM9 rom, and believe me, if you fill up with apps, will be slow too).
It seems that Android 4.0 ICS is always buggy and slow, and then Eclair 2.1 (horrible) then followed by the 2.2 Froyo (good).
My conclusion: Don't upgrade if you hate a phone will be a little bit slower.
I just do not go back to stock GB ROM why I still enjoy a good user interface instead of performance.
But if you do not like one bit of minimal slowdowns or some bugs, DO NOT bother upgrading to ICS. Just a beautiful day, we have the long awaited Jelly Bean. Even if it is a CM10, the "Butter Project" realizes disappear with lags. And all these little problems may be fixed.
I just let my experience here on this upgrade does not seem that there be a good idea.
Thank you very much
What ics firmware build number are you talking about?
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
About any ICS firmware. I've tested B.1.10, B.1.54 and C.1.10 and of these three have similar and different problems. Its a problem about android 4.0 that have been build focused on research data...
Ics is a very ram hungry ...if u have a device which has ram 512 or below that, them trust me it's best to stay at GB.. In my Xperia P ICS eats up 500MB of my ram.i am just left with 430 MB of usable memory...

But in android free ram doesn't mean more performance, lag will only appear when RAM reaches the "lag level" (30~25 free ram)
Here on my XPU i have 120~140MB free and i don't have any lag. BTW if you install a bunch of crappy apps and let the bloatware of Sony installed you will certainly will get some lag. Even on a XPP with 1GB of RAM you can feel some lags, i've already tested yet!
Yes if you say it like that.. Then yes under a microscope ICS does lag a bit.it's inevitable even the quad cores lag in ics from time to time.. But hey that's why there is JB for the rescue...

I think lag by alot of app is open. So I endtast and free ram. It Work fine with me.
I prefer the GB which is less power hungry on RAM compared to ICS.
ICS, I find it laggy.
Most games lag on ICS compared to GB.
For me, if I'll choose, I'll go for Custom ROM based on ICS(not the stock one that sony distributed). If you don't like stock ROM then I'll stick to GB because ICS consumes more RAM than GB.
Hey guys,
This may seem to be a little cliched, but I wanted to flash a really responsive ROM.
I have sony xperia neo V bought about a year and a half back.
I have Cynogenmod 9 flashed
I really think ROMs are subjective, hence I wanted to have my wants ready:-
1. It must be responsive, dialer must be fast. Touchscreen shouldn't lag. ( cynogen9 after some days is unfortunatly sluggish ;( )
2. I dont care about looks. It can be as ugly as possible. I want functionality.
3. HD gaming and all are not needed. I need to play basic games.
4. FM Radio must work. I really miss it in cynogenmod9
5. WiFi, bluetooth, 2g/3g, camera: all must work. I dont want them to get enhanced. Just work.
6. Speed.
7. Froyo, ICS, JB. I dont care. I want a responsive, fast phone.
Can you guys please help me out with that. I tried to find a few ROMs, but none describes if FM works. Almost everyone says its fastest out there. I think you guys can help out according to my needs.
PS: The Stock rom sucked. And after ICS update it sucked and bit both.

i tried alot of roms out there for neo v and if you really want a responsive, fast phone,...buy a new phone...
all roms get laggy after some time of usage.
codename x has only a few bugs, is quite responsive (but after a week you have to reboot because of heavy lags) and stable.
someone also said, that cm7 has great performance on neo v, but i haven't tried it so far.
JJ's Hybrid ROM, Ultimate HD, Jelly Sandwich, Ice Cream Purness are all great roms with only a few bugs, stable and if you reboot your phone every 1-2 days they are all quite fast.
I preffer JJ's as it has pure AOSP feeling and i cant remember that it has any bugs but Ultimate HD might be a little faster than the other ICS roms.
There are tons of other ics roms, but they are all very similar in performance.
The fastest rom imo is polished blood but it is not really stable with alot of bugs (no hdmi, no fm iirc, camera not fully working...) (well didnt used it for quite a while, maybe it is better now)
i am about to try out pure xperia hd. the creator claims ice cream purness with better performance. that would be great as icp from thillinac is one of the best ics roms for sure and if it would have a little better (hopefully long term) performance, it could be the perfect rom.
ICS ROMs are very laggy...
GB: X-GAMER, Codename
JB: AOSP by mike or AOKP

And if you remove one of your requirements I.e gaming you can install supercharger script you won't face any lag ever even if you don't restart your phone
Although you won't need it on fusion kernel coz it's awesome

Try moAOKP with Fusion 5.0 or 5.1

It's recommend to restart your phone in 1-2 days
As apps start locking memory space (ram)
And eventually your phone becomes laggy

Please try by yourself and feel the things by yourself
The fastest rom is:.... An old nokia 3310:silly:

Press Thanks If You Like My Work/Advice !!!
was to know how much is the speed of the cell with different kernel both jb, ics, gb. I have a Lww Zelly cream 3.5 with kappa 1.6 Since I always had gingerbread is great, happen to ics not as good or as fast and battery is a bit bad, but I also use jb seemed even slower and less free space on my phone, now I was watching the Ultra CM10 Slim I feel great one small room in jb but naa have to use, and not compared to the kernel of the other systems, it is still very unstable? and drains a lot of battery?
I guess that's again a best kernel/rom thread and your english is hardly understandable
