Hi !
I wan't to know which firmware is the best for XPERIA U..
Lots of people using .54 but why ? Why they don't use the newest .89 ?
Please tell me which firmware is the best for Xperia U and why ...
Thanks
Gingerbread
After trying many ICS rom's and the newest JB rom i have came back to GB firmware, its the fastest rom avaliable for XU, and has no lags in phone/calls, iam using the GB-ROCKS V3 and after deleted all the bloatware (i really dont know why make a rom with bloatware, but thats ok...) and install all basic app (whatsapp,facebook,facebook messenger, cerberus,maps, poweramp youtube ....)i have 200mb+ free on boot, and everthing is really fast (REALLY FAST if you use ICS you will fell the diference) so if want a functional phone, go for GB-ROCKS v3 or other GB rom (184 fw).
now iam trying just to find a kernel with overclock to make it even faster
obs: right now i was driving using navigator, poweramp, and received a call without any lag and that was a impossible task in ICS
For me 89...but maybe jb port for xu much better if all fixed..

Guys what combination of rom and kernel do u most prefer for mni pro coz i been having a trial and error about this roms and kernel...tnx for the answers and explanation on why...
I am having the same issues. I find X Kernel gives the best battery life for Ginger Bread ROMs. I have yet to find a ROM that I am satisfied with. Currently I am running a rooted .62 and finding that to be the best balance. I have removed a bunch of apps based on the tutorial in this forum.
So far I've used the stock 4.0.4 ICS ROM with different kernels.
My most favorite kernels that were working are:
EXtended Stock Kernel - v2 4.1.B.0.431 (had a great battery usage... the most I got on-battery with this one was 22 hours with some light usage)
Rage Kernel v3.2 (i loved this one because of the swap and the ability to OC your CPU, but the battery performance was somewhat lower than the EXtended Stock Kernel - v2...)
You can always try the KRsH Kernel v3.0 but I didn't really like that one.
And currently I'm using the CM 9 RC1 ROM (check their official site) with FXP126 kernel and still testing the performance and stuff. So far I like this one more than all previous.
I hope this helps you out a little bit.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. And don't forget to hit the thanks button if this helped you a tiny bit
can you give me a link for tutorial for apps removing?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470
This link has apps that can be safely removed from the Xperia Arc. I removed the same apps from the Mini Pro without issue. The apps can be removed using Titanium backup on a rooted device.

ICS ROMs are in my opinion still work in progress, buggy if you will.
KRsH kernel v3 is very good at battery consumption
For stability, speed etc I prefer GB ROMs though.
Like CM7.2RC3 + Rage kernel, or Spartan ROM if you like stock. Also on Rage.
In the end it depends what you like. There is no absolute best ROM or kernel.
everyone likes different things.

Thank You very much
how about the combination for gaming guys??? do u have any idea?
and if i am using ics wht should a choose?
ICS sucks.. Bravia doesn't work on my minipro if i dont use xperia gallery app
+1 .. IMHO i prefer to use GB than ICS for a better gaming performance..my current ROM is real ICS lite 29th june, and my kernel is Rage Kernel v3.2 (which i suggest you it's worth to try)..and when im playing some HD game it's still LAGGY (which is not laggy in my previous GB ROM) like Vlachmed said.. i choose this kernel because of its swap capability..i really wanna go back to GB but cant find my old ROM's thread.. (Hybrom V17) apparently the dev has left XdA (too bad)
sorry for my bad english and grammar..
Best Rom and Kernel
Personally I use Real ICS and the kernel is Rage Kernel v3.2 ICS and my phone runs very fast and smooth
Gingerbread
For Gingerbread you can try NeroDroid , and Rage Kernel 3.0
Hi people..
I have just unlocked my bootloader.. Can you please suggest ICS Roms for better and smooth performance than the stock Rom and the appropriate kernels for them!
And should I first install the rom or kernel?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
First kernel, then rom.
Head out to dev section and have fun in testing and finding which is best for you. Everyone have different opinions. But try aosp or aokp roms
try the new xperia pureness v3 its amazing,its still beta but its very good
You can try night elf kernel plus ka21.1 ics rom.

if u want smooth working phone install Polish Blood....
if u want customized with toggles and everything use AKOP,CM9
if u want stock rom use Spacious, smooth and light ICS
but if u want everything working perfectly & smoothly go back to a GB Rom -- codename_ei8ht-----a super rom by a super dev:good:
Get codename eight by emann... on gb..
Else for ics.. try otu whatever u can... i prefer aokp only.. and spacious by shradul..
Rest.. well.. not meant for me atleast..
I use Paranoid Hybrid based on Cynogenmod 9 unofficial version. It's heck of a ROM to start with. You get Cyno feel along with ICS 4.0.4 and also toggle between Tablet UI and Phone UI. It's smooth, fast and gives what you want. You can also use variety of Themes available for Cynogenmod. Please use FXP Kernel.

Though I agree that the rom is excellent, I would stick to 20.1 until issues with the market, gallery, walkman etc is resolved. 20.1 just comes off as a more stable release and recommended for those who don't want to spend time configuring after install. Just my opinion..
A good tip might be to use titanium backup, which can also backup contacts and text messages. Since you often need to format when switching or updating roms.
Kernel & ROM Combo
I also have the Night Elf Kernel plus KA21.1 ICS ROM. No need to factory reset if unlocked and already running a previous version of KA. No issue what so ever on my SE Neo Mt15a

If you're on a stock rom it's normal that your ray isn't smooth and doesn't auto flash. Sony (in my opinion and many, many others) failed to develop a good ice cream sandwich(android 4.0.x) update. My ray isn't smooth either. They surely added some great new features and improvements compared to gingerbread(android 2.3.x), but the speed, smoothness and so on aren't what they are supposed to be. If this realy bothers you, you can downgrade your ray back to gingerbread, use a custom rom or install some tweaks that improves speed etc. But to do this your phone must be rooted. Further i don't think there's much you can do
The absence of auto-flash is normal because, well, to be precise, our Rays only have torches which are either on or off. So basically when you want to enlighten your environment during picture taking the only option you have is to just turn on that damned lantern and blind everyone unfortunate enough to be there

i'm not at Stock GB. please tell me how i can improve this stock room with some tweaks ...i am ready to root. but i want to stay with this room...if you know about a good room like this then refer me pls
You're from Bangladesh?
If you bought the phone a week ago, you should be using GB, not ICS.
Flash it to ICS and root.
And if you want it to be really smooth, use custom roms.
And Ray doesn't have a flash, just an LED.
I'm from Bangladesh too
You can PM me about any problem.
nice...! Please Recommend some fast ,smooth , productivity Custom rom

Well, I have an idea. If I can root my phone from stock GB then I can make some teeaks to my phone by uninstalling some app via titanium backup app. So please tell me is it possible to root my device from stock gb .
Thanks

From your last post, look like you know some stuff so I assume you're on techy side of wildfire user.
But the ICS 4.0.4 for Ray is official from Sony and it's run pretty good, there's no reason to stay with GB. You should try update to .587 before trying anything else, large chance there's no need for anything else but newer stock rom from Sony. Do the update as Sony instruction first.
how to update to .587 ?

Can someone please suggest me the best available ROM for Xperia U.
Currently am at stock 3.7 Gingerbread.. and its quite slow... my contact book open in abt 40 sec sometimes even more...
Please suggest how to make it better and faster....
Im using TheBrainsRom, it's just a sony based rom with some tweaks for performance and battery life, and has a much smoother scrolling.
I was waiting for a good Miui Xperia U rom, but i'm quite satisfied with TheBrainsRom for now.

It's good...but quite laggy...(not much)
I like it and I'm gonna stay on this unless I find a video about another ROM which looks and feels better.
If you decide to unlock bootloader try Cyanogenmod 9 mate.
Or original 6.1.1.C.1.0

Hi to all XDA!
I have a simple ask, I'm using the .89 firmware (Xperia U), BL Unlocked and Rooted, from factory has 2.3.7 GB, but I don't like GB too much, so I unlocked BL and upgrade to .89 and Rooted, but after some weeks, it turns very laggy, specially in multitasking, so I need to reboot every night to speed up... After a weeks doing this, I decided to upgrade, and downloaded various Roms, but again a some weeks it turns laggy, with all roms except ShockGens, works perfect but don't have Cyber-Shot and Walkman don't work with equalizer (Apollo does); LED's bar work with a patch and Illumination Bar, I love this ROM but I want Cyber-Shot and Video Recording (it's close when stop recording). Download Music Info is not very important. Also Wi-Fi turns off while the phone is screen-off, solved with WiFi Keep Alive app.
I don't want to underestimate the works of developers, because all roms I tried are amazing, so I ask to us if .89 firmware is the correct to use, or recommend .54 / .100. I do not mind not having free RAM, while not have too much lag using WhatsApp, LINE and Walkman. Also Zello, Messenger (not FB app, the messenger only). ShockGens Rom works very smooth, Dialer and SMS lag is free, less than 1 second to open.
BTW, can someone tell me diferences between .54 - .89 and .100 diferences?
Sorry for very bad english, I follow too many works from Argentina, since I had a Defy to today (Xperia U).
Thanks in advance to all XDA !!
B.1.100 is the latest and smoothest of all Stock ROMs.
I would recommend you to flash Venezuela Xperia U MOD Rom which is based on B.1.100
Stock ROMs tend to become laggy while multitasking because it's process are already running + your own apps.
You can use RAM Manager Pro to help you manage RAM better.
