Hey there guys!
I installed the ota update for jb on my xperia tablet s.
Now,games run a lot worse than before.i use my tablet much for gaming.gta vc for example runs very bad now and on ics it was very fast and smooth on max settings.
Can i downgrade back to ics now?
The jellybean update isnt a very big change anyway.i dont like it anyway...

Look in the Jelly Bean changelog if you think if it does not have anything special.
It is Sony Vaio's fault since they modified the update.
Wipe your device to improve performance.

I did a full wipe and its really better.
But the gaming performance is compared to ics worse.
I noticed that the tablet is while playing games (like gta vc) most of the time running at 1,4ghz.
But this means its running only on one cor,right?cause quad core is only 1.3ghz max,right?
There's no need to downgrade to ICS.
Just install Tegra Overclock 1.5.1. Then you can choose active cores and frequencies.
Yeah this makes really alot of sense to install tegra overclock on an unrootable device...
But thanks for the tip anyway.

Is there a reason why you specified version 1.5.1? Cause I went to the play store and its version 1.9.1.

hi
i upgraded and rooted the new ics firmware last night.. am i right in thinking it is impossible to downgrade ?
i wanted to go on the 3.2.80 with overclocking custom rom
i tried renaming the initramfs to lzo with no luck
i did install ics .aos back onto it with no problems then rooted it again with 4.04 . i just don't know where to go from here.. i want to overclock because archos just gave me an upgrade for free to the 1.5ghz , which overclocked would be a monster tablet
im an idiot really because i upgraded to ics before looking at the forum and reallsing there was surdu's 3.2.80 oc edition
any help would be greatly appreciated
sorry, but you cant downgrade to another FW you can only update, i cant say you why Archos make it :S

Sony will give as beta updates for BL unlocked phones like was with arc, ray and neo??
Somewhere I have read that Sony will not publicate alfa or beta roms for our phones.
If they restrict beta I will be mad!

It is said, that around end May/early June get all other Xperia phones the ICS update.
Cant wait for this. Loved the elegance of it.
Anyway, i think ICS will be available here on Brazil only in July ~ August. ):
Great news
I have a couple of questions though. If anyone is able to answer them I'd be thankful.
First of all, it seems root is already available on Xperia phones following some replies on this thread. Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how can we do it? A thread on this forum would do, sometimes even using search I get lost trying to find what I want
Second, suppose I don't like ICS and I'd rather revert back to GB. Will flashing the phone with a Nandroid backup work? I imagine I'll need root and install recovery first. Is recovery an easy thing to install on ICS? I installed my current recovery through the CWM Recovery installer available on Google Play, will it work on ICS? Will I need to unlock my bootloader to do it?
If a Nandroid backup won't work, will flashing the phone with Flashtool with a (rootable) .42 or .58 firmware work? If it does, will I still be able to update to .62 with OTA?
That's a lot of questions, I know..but I'd really like to know that stuff before I consider updating to ICS.
Thanks in advance!
yeah,can't wait androi 4.0

dont sweat it.

it only takes 15 minutes max to root.
remember, you cant root .62 yet
yes you can go back to any firmware of gingerbread if you dont like ics by using easy flashtool toolkit.
no you dont need cwm recovery to install ics, you need sony pc update companian app on your computer or maybe just through the air from your phone.
Hey
i just flashed ISC for my Neo with the help of this forum. The problem is, that its very slow now.
I already looked for some kernels but I dont want to unlock the bootloader.
Is there any posibility to make the phone faster without unlocking it?

Do a clean install instead upgrading,remove bloatware and finally don't expect miracles from 512mb ram
If you really want to use your phone flawlessly, stick on the stock .62 firmware. ICS lags too much, even the Sony warns you about this before updating. A 512MB single core processor can't do so much. Else, the best method is unlock your bootloader (don't worry, you can relock it again ) and flash the Night-Elf KERNEL with 1.8 GHZ OverClocking capability and many much more advantages.
Still, at last, .62 is the best

I appreciate your answer, I too followed all you said but in my case, it lags (even after Supercharging). So, switched back to the .62 firmware. Even the WiFi is not working properly on ICS, connects then disconnects repeatedly.

LG P500 has 512MB RAM, msm7227 ARMv6 600mHz CPU and ICS works super smooth and fast.
On neo V i'm using Apex launcher, and I prefer turn off xperia home and other blotware.
Sony must update kernel to newest version to bring us full ICS experience.

I've just upgraded my Xperia Mini to ICS, and also rooted it, thanks to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
And it worked, but now I realized that all of the phone menus are becoming slow. Apps work perfectly and normally, but some phone menus (out of the apps) aren't as smooth as they should. Also, the games I recovered using Titanium Backup work slow either, some of them don't even work...
So I wondered, why is that? what should I do now or what did I do wrong? Help will be really appreciated, thanks
well ics is a little slower than gb and also gb is much better than ics in playing games and performance

umm fine, actually I didn't know that...
But the weird thing is that, before trying to root ICS, I installed normally (without root) just to see what it was, and then it worked properly, I mean, fluid and smooth in every aspect. It became slow and even laggy after I rooted it. So I don't understand exactly what happened.

Why not unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel based on stock, that has cwm and prerooted already in kernel. then you can factory reset as much as you like and wont lose root. And you probably lost root because you factory reset and that would delete superuser.apk so all you had to do was redownload that from the market and you would have root again. But anyway think about unlocking your bootloader but read up about it first.

I disagree, I think Sony won't offer JB just for the user experience, instead they will avoid it to push the customers to buy new phones.
İf you have time, check and see ICS hardware discussion on official Sony forum:
Some of Sony's newer 2012 ICS phones has same or poor hardware compared to Ray yet they run ICS like a charm.
Im being positive
HAAAAAAX!!!
Just as I said before, Jelly Bean is great thanks to project butter. If they release it for Xperia 2011 line, the biggest problem would be SONY's policy of customizing JB with their own (heavily layered) UI and pushing unnecessary and bad bloatware that kills system performance. But the good part of this would be the release of official drivers, that means more posibilities for developers to cook fully working ROMs, even for locked bootloaders.
One way - CM10.......
We are counting on you!

No you can't you need the kernel, and for the kernel, you need to unlock the bootloader, it's the only way. Btw, no jelly bean update at all, or at least that's what i've read, somewhere (can't remember..) because the 2011 line has only got 1 core processors, and it's not enough according to sony developers. Obviously that's stupid, as said before, it runs quite well in the nexus line, wich has similar specs. Take courage, and unlock your bootloader, that's my opinion, 'cause I'm sure that sony won't release Jb for our phones, and a custom rom will always be better anyways.
Best regards..!
Ok thanks, but before unlock my bootloader I will wait for a more stable Rom
And maybe I will try an ICS custom Rom to force me to unlock my bootloader

ooh, once you unlock and start trying slimmed down and alternative firmwares you won't go back.
One of our users called JJdoctor makes an excellent ICS firmware and FXP continue to work on CyanogenMod 10. This is shaping up to be an excellent JB firmware - already very stable and very fast.
