Hi right now I'm using the stock sony android 4.0.4 on the ST27a xperia go. I'm getting a little annoyed with the wifi glitch and battery life so im starting to look at what ROM I should flash to use but the problem I'm having is I can't tell what is better than what and which ROM would be a good choice. I want to keep root access (and not muck around with re-rooting) so nothing stock out of the box please.
Thanks for the help!

clear all market data in app manager, ics is like vista (when xp is like gb), it will be slower but nicer looking i installed xray kernel and created swap on zram disk and now it is much more smooth, almost like gb. but games still lags its ics...
rooting phone will not speed it up, if you want install custom rom, it will probably be much faster (but i prefer clean stock roms with bloatware removed and with uv kernel).
Hello,
Today I bought Xperia S and it's running latest stock 4.0.4 android. I used to have Xperia X10 with custom kernel and roms because it made the phone so much faster.
Question: Is it worth installing a custom rom on Xperia S? Does it improve performance a lot? If yes, what rom should I use for daily and stable?

Yea you should.. Check out the best roms which suit your needs in the development section.. Also if you plan on unlocking the bootloader than go on and flash custom kernel

i'm still unsure about which rom to use or what's the best kernel etc.
gone back to stock for the moment, cos the latest stock gives me pretty decent battery life.
my 2 main concerns are:-
1-battery life - it needs to be able to hold out for a decent days use without crippling the phone by turning off all the smart features.
2-unique selling points - the phone has a number of usp's such as the nfc smart tags, panoramic camera, hdmi output, etc.....any rom i use would need to keep these, but i'm not clear on which of the custom roms retain all these features or which one don't.
Hi friends,
I am pretty new to this forum and before a couple of days i did a research regarding Flashing Kernals and Roms(Dont knw whether my concepts regarding that is right or wrong) and currently i have installed Cyanogen 9.1 for my device.Now let me ask a couple of questions i have for you guys.
1.Will I be able to update my phone and bring back to old ICS firmware via SUS once i brick my phone(I have already unlocked the bootloader via fastboot method)?
2.Evrytime when i flash the Rom(say CM9) i used to flash kernal(boot.img) for the respective rom.Is this necessary all the time?
Will i able to flash a GB rom on ICS kernal(I am afraid to give it a test)?
3.Regarding CM9.1 which i have installed ryt now,I am satisfied with the performance,but i want a stable ROM wud make me happy with a better battery life unlike CM9.1.So could you pls suggest me a GB/ICS ROM which wud have a stable performance with descent battery life.
4.After using GB for a long time,i was very much addicted with the Phone pad kinda keyboard,but when ICS came into picture everything vanished,Smartkeyboard Pro is no gud,Touchpal is conjusted,i want the exact GB keyboard in ICS.Any ideas?!!

1. U need to relock ur bootloader to update ur phone through SUS
2.no need of of flashing kernel every time u flash...if its a stock based Rom u need a stock based kernel...
And u cant fhash ics on top GB kernel..
3.search around ray development forum and try some roms and choose which is best for u..
4.CM9 has a different type of keyboard..some stock based keyboard wont work...but Xperia s keyboard will work..

Hello in my xperia u in this moment I have an ics firmware. surfing the web with wifi is very good. Instead if I flash a gb firmware or rom (included the excellent gb-rocks rom) the wifi becomes much more lazy. For example opening and installing apps through the play store in gingerbread is frustrating. I would like to downgrade to gb bucause is faster but I wish there was a fix for this. I think may be a wirelss drivers problem. any suggest? thanks
anyone can help me??
if I install a different kernel from the stock one, for example the andanced stock kernel of doomlord, can I improve the reception of wifi?
Hi All.
I Have a Xperia Mini Rooted And Bootloader Unlocked Whit 4.0.4 ICS Android.
I Want To Overclock It to 1.4 And So I Need a Kernel....But That's Not The Major Problem Now...
The Major Problem Is That CWM Says Everywhere That You MUST Be On Android 2.3.6 And It Wont Work In 4.0.4
So How I Install CWM? Isn't There a Way To Install It On 4.0.4 Too?
If some One Helps Me To Install CWM on My Phone And Install a Kernel For It I Will Be So Glad...:victory:
And There Is Another Problem Too...I Decide To Write It Here Too To Decrease Another Post...
the Second Problem Is I Use Xposed modules And So Many(XAD-Xblast-Xui-..) But When I Shutdown my Phone They Will All Be Reseted..So I Have To Do a Soft Reboot...Then They Will Come Back...It's Vivd
If Have Any Idea For This too I Will Be So Happy To Help Me
This question is buried in the desert LOL
