A.NO,the latest FW 6.2.A.1.100 has many bug fixes and performance enhancements; in order to take them into effect you need to flash the latest FW.
3.XLound and ClearPhase settings aren't working in sound settings.
A.Dont worry it is because of the Acid audio engine.

A.Select "CortexA9/15 with NEON" when asked for the Driver and reboot.
6.Some Icons in the App drawer went missing after a reboot.
A.Select "Alphabetical" order, the launcher will FC. Now again select "Own Order" and everything will be fine.
7."XYZ" App FCs when I try to increase the volume.
A.Its a known bug and it will happen only once after a reboot.

Do i have to flash a custom kernel ?
I'm new with Androi ( Sony P ) , my device bootloader is unlock and install CWM , I flash the custom kernel then it's boot loop, now the phone is still on default JB rom .

---

I have a suggestion. can you add an option with white apps, I mean its also modded like the dark apps that you have. then call it LIGHT and DARK ROM. that would be nice.
