[U] How to make your Xperia U lightning fast? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi boys,
I've been using the xperia u for about a year now and i'm pretty satisfied with it's overall performance, tough i think i'm not using its hardware to the fullest..
I would like to know what your experiences with the XU are and what did you find useful (battery saving, ram cleaning, etc...)?
Even ROM suggestions are welcome!
I'm a pretty hardcore smartphone user, as in twitter/facebook/GPS/messaging/..
Thanks in advance, hope you guys can help me!
Oh and by the way, I'm currently using SXU_TerraROMICS V2.1 as ROM, apps: AutoKiller Memory, Clean Master.

[Q] Good Custom ROM for my Sony Xperia S?

I have been using KA ROM for a while. I am currently running KA ROM 12. I have always been a fan of his work but now I feel the need for change because KA ROM 13-16 have major battery issues. I find KA ROM 12 the most stable and battery preserving.
This is some things I look for. One is that the UI icons would be Sony default. I just like how Sony icons looks compared to Samsung Galaxy Nexus etc.
A ROM that is stable. No random stuttering. Decent battery life or even battery saving, this is because I know the Sony Xperia S is a powerful device but it would be even better if the battery performance matched up. Another is the battery percentage. I do not like Sony's battery icon but I do like the circular battery icons.
One of the ROM's I was considering: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827128
Why? Because I hear good things about it and because of the battery tweaks. It really has caught my attention. But on this ROM, is uses the Samsung Galaxy Nexus icons which I am not a big fan off. I know there isn't a lot of SXS developers atm but what I am asking from experience from other users, what "Sony Stock-Like ROM" is good. Battery life / performance, etc.
Ever tried stock rom? About battery percentage you can easily flash with cwm from theme.

best r4om for u is the stock.50 one, install a advanced kernel ics15, and then u can modify as u want..and is very easy be4live me.
kA Roms sadly have alot of problems, i dont recommend them

Honestly, I have tried stock ROM's and I do love them. But there is only one issue I have with them and that's bloatware. Because I am just a user and not a developer, I wouldn't be sure which things I should un-install in Titanium Backup, etc.
You could try Dualcore 5.2. For me, the ROM is super smooth with no bloatware, battery often lasts about 23 hours with 3g always on. Flash it with nullvoid tweak and you are done
You could actually try some out for yourself.
I know it sounds like a crazy idea but the truth is, if you can't help yourself others won't help you.

[Q] NooB Question Sony Xperia U is it worth updating to ICS???

As in the topic is it really worth it?
I herd alot of **** but couldn't find anything more than remarks about less ram and lagg
Really appreciate your input
Thanks in advance!!!
Try it for yourself, if you dont like it flash gb ftf with flashtool and your good.
I have ICS with a few tweaks and its good.

I also think you should try for yourself.
You do get some more features like
i> Media apps (Album, Movie, Walkman)
ii> Extended battery backup (It works as it should)
iii> Backup and restore app
iv> visualizer in walkman
v> efiicient ics task killer
vi> upgraded notification bar
vii> Battery percentage
And lots more than I don't remember at the moment
as for performance it's good enough for me. free ram is about 150mb avarage but you don't need free ram, as you may have heard 'free ram is wasted ram'.
The games are a bit smoother and nenamark 2 benchmark increaed fron 29.5fps to 30.6fps
Considering all that

[Q] How stable is JB by nAa?

Hi everyone.
I'm using the latest stable MiniCM7 rom. I'm a big fan of speed and stability. I tried MiniCM9 and I felt it very slow. I'd like to know how fast and stable is the MiniCM10. Should I keep my ginger?
I repeat. I'm a big fan of speed and stability.
Thank you very much.

MiniCM10, don't go there and stay with ginger (Gingersony v06 is the best of all in all categories, battery life very good, you just have to flash a led fix and it's ok). Why? because it's almost the same as minicm9 but worse in audio, it has buggy low audio ( like 40% volume of an ginger rom ), and the only thing good in it is the battery life, almost the same as a ginger rom but i don't know for sure who's the best.
You're Welcome .
If i was helpful press Thanks .

It's a matter of opinion, and MiniCM10 is very good, but lower versions of android just seem to work better on our phones. If you like the way your phone works, stick with MiniCM7, but by all means, give MiniCM10 a try, even if it's just for a day. If you're not happy, just roll back to MiniCM7.
i m using jb by naa for nearly 3 days and my verdict is
it is pretty good
but it has got a bug in dual touch and all of the above the low sound quality.
rolling back to mini cm7 today

Thanks for all your replys.
I think ill have my GB untill change my x10 mini pro. Maybe CM9/10 is fast on bigger hardware. I've only tested CM9, but surely CM10 is heavier.
As says SmG67, lower versions of android seems to work faster.

It's not fast, you just think it is xD. try putting that rom with 480mhz max/19mhz min and see the results comparing to a GB rom with those options as well, you will see that the difference is More than just Big xD, and don't forget that more Mhz means more battery drain, and the sound is Super low.

Ok we can say you have right. But for JB version are made more apps. And The SlimRoms is really fast, certainly faster than normal nAa's JB rom

Same opinion as me, totaly agree with you mate . Stay Ginger
I've tried GingerSony. I love the ICS launcher and transitions, without leaving ginger. I don't know why i've got some reboot. Will try it deeply later.
Looking for speed, now I'm tying froyobread v023f. It's "new" to me cause I started using custom roms with paul's and slade's ginger roms.
Let's see what happens
It's better to set these options:
enable swap ,128 MB ,swapiness 40
Disabled ZRAM
clock CPU @ 600 Max - 120 Min smartass gonover
Disable scrolling cache
Use some tweaks

You mean..swap? or compcache?
I've tested a lot the standard swap (previously partition creation on sd, as linux way) and it really slowed my device. I've read a lot about this on other forum. I'm gonna try the other options you say.
Thanks for answering

Compcache compresses ram memory for up to 20% more memory at the cost of CPU performance, device will become less responsible & slow
Swap speed depends to your sdcard class (write/read speed) the fastest sdcard is still slower than RAM
Less ram means less multi tasking & launcher redraws
Swap is necessary for our device because of tiny ram memory

Some known issues :
Launcher forgets sd card apps
Just that do not expect great battery life as 3.4 kernel isn't the best for battery. The rom is also my daily driver and i can get a days usage..I will not lie to any of you to brag about my rom..

Thanks!

Hello. First I want to give thanks for your work. I downloaded the latest version 3, but I have many problems:
- The phone becomes very hot.
- Long time to charge the battery. Yesterday in 4 hours did not reach 100%.
- I loaded the phone at night with 90% percent, and I went to sleep and ... was extinguished without battery to get up!
And I think preference level has more options Cyanogenmod based version 10.1.
Is there any solution to the issue of battery consumption?
patch for neo?
Is there any patch for neo of this rom??
for battery consumption , just wait for a day or two for the rom to stabilize. But battery life will not be as good as android 4.0 or 4.1 . As the kernel also is in dev stages.
@Dharmesh8294 patch not there as of yet.

It is true! The first time I installed the rom the battery is consumed in a few hours. Now the second battery charge seems to last longer (though admittedly still far from Super Jelly Bean 5.5).
As for RAM consumption and performance is much better than Super Jelly Bean 5.5. Incredibly fast and quick, perfect. In the following versions ask you to improve the front camera (not working) and greatly increase the battery.
Take this opportunity to thank you for your work, as we can not renew our phone (in my case money) greatly appreciate you work. Thank you very much, keep it up, congratulations from Spain!
pretty good RAM management but facing battery drain
I am seeing battery drain from yesterday with no apps or mods installed..I m using kernel inside Zip. file.But very good work
Asking about fixes

Some known issues :
1.front cam fc(will be fixed asap )
2.back button exits the keyboard and the app both ( source fix required )[/QUOTE]

Plz I really want to flash the ROM the answer to the above decided whether or not will I flash it.
Thank You

There's a CyberShot for this rom, or i have to install a app from playStore?
Note: This mod don't work:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308368
Sorry for my bad english.
I have been using this rom as my daily rom. The Ram management is quite good. Rom is really smooth and fast.Random Reboots are still there and brightness level is quite low, u need to keep it at almost half level. Lockscreen is also too fast . Never experienced this kind of smoothness while using lockscreen. I really appreciate Dev's work for bringing this level of smoothness.
Hope random reboots and battery performance issues will be solved in upcoming days :good::laugh:

Hi. Thanks a lot for this ROM. This is the best 4.2.2 I've tried. I have tested different releases of LegacyXperia (@shufuking) and DarkDefender, but this is the best, so soft, and the battery life is great (I use greenify) using 3g everytime, like CM10 I think. Ram management is ok too, always up to 150 Mb free in my Arc S. Still testing, I'll report

[Q] An x10 with low battery drain requested...

HI,
I just desired to know what is your take to be your preferred everyday rom for xperia x10.
I am surely looking for one; preferably jb or ics rom who's got low battery drain.
Any tips are welcome and appreciated
And i am a casual gamer so no hardcore gaming ability is required. Moreover i already have nova launcher so nothing fancy is required as well
thanks.
