[Q] [SOLA] JB/ICS/GB - Which ROMs do you prefer? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi there,
Tried a lot of ROMs for our Xperia Sola in the last days... and have become clueless which Rom to choose...
Go for JB even if it's still buggy... accept the laginess of ICS... or prefer the good old stoneage but very fast and also stable GB ?!?
And stay to the modding and tweaking of the custom roms trying to get the best out of it... :fingers-crossed:
Or let's get back to real open source and flash some cm based rom...
What can you recommend? What is your experience? Please share your opinions!
Btw: Is it possible to have floating touch enabled with any non-stock based roms? Cause I use the mobile a lot with thick gloves and that's why I actually buyed the sola

Read the rules, no threads ehich ia better is allowed. Try and see...

[Q] Which Rom is the best?

Hi guys,
I have just registered to this great site!
Can you please inform me which is the best custom ROM for my ace?
I need a stable and fast ROM!!
Thank you in advance!
theres no such thing as "the best rom". it really depends on ur preference.
i might be mistaken my friend. I am new and i don't know much from roms!
I need my phone to be fast and stable!
With the standard ROM many applications lag so i would like to avoid these lags!
Witch Rom would you suggest?
uranus.
Seriously.
I'm kinda tired of this kind of question, because it's one of the most common questions, so you could just search it on the forum.
Anyways, you'll have to try it yourself, everyone likes different things. I'm using GingerReal. Other preffer Gslmt, cm7 beta or whatever.
Read a little more.
well, if u need stock rom function try custom rom based on stock. or if u wanna try aosp rom try cm7. but cm build for ace is still not that stable. u might stumble a problem/bugs here and there. for stock based rom, i highly suggest blackhawk by ketut.kumajaya
I suggest that you let your lazy ass read the forums.

Well currently I'm using the BehradGH's CM7 and also I have used many other ROMS like FirstUA v.1.2, Coderom, GingerReal, SanGingerAce and also Grif's CM7.. All those ROMS are really great and every ROM has its pros and cons.. So it all depends on your preference.. Even I'm a newb to the Android world.. So the best way to find out would be to try out all the ROMS out there and select what matches your requirements.. Also go through the comments because some of the feedbacks are really useful..

Yeah , you should try out but with caution !
as you may brick it or something.
hi. i wanna try the BehradGH's CM7.
are chinese and italian available?
there are big problems in the rc1 version?
Well RC1 is far from being a real Release Candidate, it's more like a advanced Beta.
Compass and FM is not working yet and you might encounter some bugs now and then.
It's just something between funny and sad to see flashing newbies struggling with CM7.
Apart from that, Chinese and Italian is avaible.
Well, for now, it seems all roms are (overall) the same: the same functionalities but under different names, some are aimed for speed and stability others just are eye candy.
I would recommend trying fla.shX2 and SanGingerAce. While I have tried the first one but not the latter, try and go ahead. Just remember to backup!
CWM back up will be your friend if you kinda flash and jump and compare 1 rom to another..^^
Hey stop asking such question again n again...xda wont allow any comparasion btw ROMs...so pls dont reply...this thread will close in few moment...

I'm using the same and for now seems to be great! (except for the camera that i'm expecting issues too) but only that, no major issues =)
If you decide to try out SONY Xperia S Rom then I would say stick with version 8.3 AAA s I found v9 has small bug of some apps not working... Also after installing if you want to change DPI left me know that way you can use smaller icons and fonts.. Looks really cool.. Check attached images

there at the moment isnt properly working camera for ICS.. then sugest to give a shot to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516960
now I am running this one.. so far seems the best GB rom atleast no heavy lags like ferralabs V20.. here I meen for example Little empire.. for me it was quite painfull to play on that rom
Ferralab roms sounds good, but now I deffinettly will stick with x10S v9, give a shot for it, after SE stock rom its will feel blazing FAST (not so fast like ICS, but seems like best alternative for stock rom)

JJHybrid vs Pureness vs CM

Hi!
I would like to change stock ROM to anyone of these because as far as I know, they are the better ones for Neo.
Now the dilemma starts... which one? Could you post pros and cons about them?
Sent through Tapatalk
Try all of them and see for yourself, which one suits your needs best.
People have different opinions. For one can be a problem, other one can see it as a feature, if you get my idea.
For try them all properly I have to be with every one at least one week.. so it will be three weeks.
However if people who tried/use them already post their opinions, it would be easier for me choose one.

That's not how it works here mate
Normally these threads get closed
Well what's good for us maybe crap for you, is what I mean bro
neo is tiny little poo phone
Hm, I understand your point. But as I'm here long enough, I know how this kind of posts ends up. People post their opinions, in 90% they are contradictory, even for people who (as you said) used them all.
And OP(in this case you) end up confused with so many questions without answers.
Nothing personal, don't get me wrong, but my advice is try them(yes I know it takes time, it's what modding is after all, testing and trying) and find one which suits you best.
Btw 3'rd rom is totally different than 1'st and 2'nd.
Well... let me ask the question in other way...
What work and what doesn't in every one? For example I know that HDMI doesn't work in CM.
Sent through Tapatalk
In compiled roms (cm, aokp, soap) everything now works except hdmi (only jelly bean still has other issues).
Any stock based rom (spacious, Iscream, pureness, team xperia) should be able to have everything working although may not be installed by default.
As to performance that's subjective so just try them

This is a subjective question...For me,after i've tried all custom roms,stock rom (with GX homescreen and few Xperia S applications is the best).Try all of them,and see wich one suits best your needs.
you have to try some
and not all issues appear on all devices
so you have to try
for example
i have a some wifi issues on ics based roms (no hardware failure) but not all devices have it
give em a try

Why should I ask in general chat whether what I want to know is about Neo's perfomance?
If u like simply and beautiful, use Pureness...

My personal experience with these ROM. i would say Pureness by ThilinaC. It's stylish and faster. Also you should try MIUI which is my favorite and totally different from other ROM, but bit slow .
Just read that camera is working worse in CM or Pureness than stock.
Opinion about this? How it works in JJHybrid?

I used MIUI and with much app is not bit slow but very slow.
Pureness is very good but have more battery drain than MIUI
I prefer CM, then JJ's Hybrid and then Pureness.

Battey life? Like other ROM?

First try these
If you are a bit hesitant then a) First root your phone b) Install a root uninstaller and delete the junks that keep your phone busy yet you have no use of them c) Flash some useful MODs like walkman, Xperia S lockscreen etc. and see the differences. If you are not satisfied then installing any Custom ROM is open for you.

Jellybean rom with good/great batt life

Hello fellow neo v users.. Can anyone here suggest me or refer a jelly bean rom with good battery backup? Ive been looking one for now but i failed to be satisfied. By the way, my ph's bootloader is already unlocked and im on bb77 now. I hope that i can find one that will suit my likes. I also prefer the messaging of the cm based roms because of the android smileys. Theyre cute haha. Thank you guys

i would recommend the AOKP JB (build2) or the cm10. Both provided good battery backup for me. If u want great backup..then go for ICS.
P.S. dont forget to flash BB72,before installing cm10 or AOKP

We need more GB Rom's and Kernels

Hi Everyone,
I've been using XMP from last december and an XDA member from a long time. I have tried almost all the ROM's for XMP including AOKP,AOSP. ICS does not seem to be a great option for our phone. I bought this phone for taking decent pics on the go and it was fairly good at it. But with ICS the camera quality is a joke. I've tried different kernels and ROM's.
I'd request the developers to give some attention to GB development too, Please develop bugfree GB Rom's (Boof ROM's were awesome til Hybrom V11). I'd also like to request the kernel developers to develop a better kernel for GB, mainly a BFS Kernel for GB.
Thanks
owh man u speaking the truth.
+1

there is a lot of Ics Roms in this section but non of them is as smooth as gb roms
working on it already
