I kw RAM is always been a problem for XU users but it's something new and unknown problem to me
My XU free ram remains 30-70 mb free only even when I try rebooting my device sometimes
I thought it might be due to too many apps installed so I tried factory reset and still the ram usage is above 300 mb out of 388 even when I havent installed any app after factory reset
My XU firmware is 6.1.1.c.1.0 rooted, locked bootloader with official ICS. In past My Ram was almost above 150 mb free and I could play games like NFS most wanted but now unfortunately games like doodle jump too lags
Please help friends, I need to know reasons and solution for the same
Go back to gingerbread

Hm..go back to gingerbread or try upgrading ur firmware..
I would suggest you try Custom CM/AOKP/AOSP Rom like SlimCM or Shockers MOD or FXP's Cyanogenmod.
Do this if you are ready to sacrifice some Xperia U features like Illumination Bar, xLOUD, BE.. Also u need unlocked bootloader for it.
Else you can try stock based Rom like Venezuela Xperia U MOD which is based on B.1.100 which is the smoothest of all Stock ROMs.

Bloatware like timescape and Facebook hog a lot of ram.
You could just root your phone and uninstall them using Titanium Backup
The stock firmware for ICS by sony has a number of bugs that haven't been resolved till date. Mainly :
1)Screen tearing
2) Loss of notification tone after a ussd code has run
3)Dialler lag
While the last two have work-arounds I would strongly recommend that you stay way until all the bugs are fixed [which may take a while]
Now in the case of cyanogen Mod roms if you can deal with low volume ,lack of H/w decoding during video playback,no FM radio and no LED bar functionality in the gallery and walkman then you'll be the happiest person with a smart phone because you'll get 200 Mb of ram free at times with vanilla android experience.
But say you don't wanna go through all that trouble you might as well downgrade to GB and enjoy all the features of sony including Bravia engine working on Unlocked BL along with 200+ Mb Ram free [you could also try GB rocks ROM ].

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).
Is Anyone know best ROM for Sony (ericsson) Xperia Pro MK16i for HD gaming?
Thanks!
Besides root to get rid of bloatware and free up memory, I guess any custom rom will do that enables u to set the cpu clock abit higher, so u can get extra speed. Anything else than this i can't really think of.
Hey,
the Omega V3 Rom for Pro hast lots of memory free. It can be flashed with unlocked or with locked bootloader, if that's important for you

Thread Closed and since there is a thread in place for topic, please use it. Thank You.
Recently, several GB ROM came out but none of them are perfect.
I'm asking for devs whether there is possibility port a full NXT ROM (Sola or U GB ROM) because these devices have the same resolution with Xperia 2011 and ICS is too heavy to run on 2011 devices. Phone runs out of RAM quickly and I could not switch between the apps swiftly and smoothly. I have been back to GB for 2 days and enjoy its light weight and smoothness, but envy about the features NXTs 2.3.7 had got.
So I'm asking you guys- the devoted devs for a solution. Do we have any chances?
What about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565990 xperia s gb port ? Install this and use xgamer ray path and you will have full working nxt gb :good:

Thank you. I install it, everything works fine except for lockscreen :3 1 side is unlock, the other side is camera but it is not parallel with the unlock.
wellwits i will fixed that but its holo look
try Forsaken 3.5 Final, proly one of the best balanced GB rom out there.
Hello friends,
never tried rooting any android as of yet, but my phone has gone painfully slow now forcing me to do something.
i would be grateful if i get a help/ recommendation is choosing the ROM.
I want a light, fast and stable ROM but don't want to scarifies any features ( e.g CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 says no tethering (both wifi/usb) )
my only usage are call/sms, occasionally taking picture, videos & playing some light games like candy crush.
im zeroing on ****FeraLab*** FeraKernel-JB-v4
update:- frealab, 720p video playback don't work and so as capture
please suggest me if in going in right direction is it advised to install JB ROM in X10 kepping the stability POV ?
Thanks in advance.
I wouldnt flash a jelly bean Rom, but if you did so it would also handle your tasks.
For all features I would recommend DiXperia 7 and finally you could use a gaming Rom as they have least stuff but best preformance. On jelly bean you could use xposed as well

Ditto @keenofhiphop.
I wouldn't flash/install any ROM other than GB.
There are many reasons to install a JB ROM, but mostly those looking to install a JB ROM on an XPERIA X10i never identify any real reason, they just think they need JB+
The best ROMs and Kernels for the XPERIA X10i are all GB based and to date I know of no ICS+ Kernel that supports 2D Hardware Acceleration for videos and etc. This may change if @FeraVolt and others are able to modify the Adreno 200 drivers to support 2D HW acc in ICS+
I too would look at a gaming ROM for the least system overheads.
There is the newly created GB FeraKernel v14.1 and FeraLab ROM v30.2 which I have tested and know to have a very responsive UI and good 720p 2D video playback.
I use DoomKernel v6 and @Tof37 X10S ROM (FeraLab based) with a heavily modified build.prop which provides a similar experience to FeraKernel v14.1
Having a Class6(or greater) microSD card and offload(I use Link2SD) as much as you can helps, as the X10i built in flash only has a read of ~6MB/sec and a write of ~3MB/s. Compare this to a SanDisk Extreme 64GB card which I ran for a while in my X10i which gives a 20MB/sec read and 13MB/sec write.
I'm currently using a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card which provides a good cost/performance ratio. 17MB/sec read, 7MB/sec write
thanks @Dr Goodvibes and @keenofhiphop for inputs.
I was thinking as JB is more polished and is newer i am thinking to go for JB if i flash.
but since HW playback & recording is not available i would probably look something else other then Feralab...
i have 1 doubt at this time... do we have to flash with the latest Kernel first & then the ROM ? is it possible to revert back to old kernel at later if i change rom ?
sorry for my noobish question but im flashing any android rom for first time

True, JB has many advances in performance, security and interface options/features.
However, hardware development/drivers for the XPERIA X10i stopped at GB 2.3.3
Many of the JB performance features do not translate into real performance gains for the XPERIA X10i due to hardware constraints.
Thus GPU HW acc and camera (which is bound to the GPU) suffer. Also WiFi is 802.11g, Bluetooth is v2.1 and etc so any JB ROMs have to be retro fitted to accommodate these services.
Many developers do an excellent job of building JB ROMS and Kernels for the X10i, but they do come with some caveats and these should be understood before one installs a JB ROM.
One good thing about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i is that it's a very good development platform and very robust and very hard to knowingly hard-brick the device. It can always be restored to a Sony Ericsson default firmware of GB 2.3.3 at any time, with a PC and a USB cable.
When you root the device you can install CWM recovery from flashtool and then using CWM Recovery to backup your system and thus provide a quick and easy way to restore a ROM even when you're not able to successfully boot Android, but still have access to CWM recovery.
If you can find an old version of flashtool circa v8, it has more features for the XPERIA X10i as newer version of flashtool don't have these services as newer phones have rightly become the focus of Flashtool now.
I would suggest FeraKernel v14.1 and FeraLab v30.2 ROM as the best first ROM, as there is currently a lot of development around this ROM/Kernel combination and thus you'll have tens of people to assist you if you have questions.
This doesn't have to be a long term commitment as you can always flash another ROM/Kernal at any time, but it does expose you to a better understand of flashing Kernel/ROMs and etc.
I would also suggest looking at unlocking your bootloader on your XPERIA X10 as this has no negative impact that I know of and also allows you to install a greater range of ROM/Kernels which rely on having an unlocked bootloader.

Thank you very much, @Dr Goodvibes, those are exactly the words boosted my confidence to go ahead & flash. and as you said once i finish a single flashing process successfully i would be more confident in future flashing,...
:good:
A word to the close: @Dr Goodvibes I totally agree to you, a found that in jb you could notice project butter and it worked really smooth but! it drains the battery a lot more than GB and there are several problems with hardware as mentioned with camera and gpu.
I think feravolt is one of the last Devs that really develop in the X10 but I could never really be stratified with his roms, as they look very mixed up from different mods. Which is off course a cosmetic thing but I didn't like it. I first flashed DiXperia 7 about two years ago and was totally happy with it, but as I am I was not stratified because flashing is fun I can say I flashed my X10 probably about 150 times, maybe more.
It was pure fun
Two months ago it finally gave up, it's on fetakernel and doesn't get flashed by Flashtool. (it was time for a new one)
However I hope you'll have a good time as I did and unlocking the bootloader only had advantages add is easy and offers you full customization.
And have a look into uot kitchen
It was the best about GB^^

flashed with v30.3 final & camera fix & latest kernel 15 beta one. ... great performance boost compared to stock !!
i failed to install XRecovery though but CWM is installed so i am fine i guess...
hello guys , i am gonna talk about the arc s and what is the best rom for arc s i will not put any links if u want the link of any rom i will talk about just reply what rom do u want
of course i cant say what the best rom is because it depends on your using of the phone but if u like gaming and performance u better downgrade to gingerbread 2.3.7 and install gb rom its faster in games gives u the dual core experience such as :
atomic gb i personally tried this rom it is great but what is bad about it that there is alot of applications requires 4.x + android so in that case try cm9 ics its not bad.( better than cm10 )
if u like multitasking there are a lot of good roms for u cm isnt one of them ..... xperia ultimate hd is good in multitasking and giving u advanced settings , its not good in gaming though
jelly bean roms for arc s are not fast and smooth like ultimate hd and i think its because the arc s is only one core and cant handle the jelly bean since there is no official update i tried racing bean it is not that good and lighting cm .. alot of bugs , and u have to flash a diffrent kernel.
another problem is battery life it isnt good in any of these roms, except for atomic gb and the stock rom ofcourse i dont know why but maybe the overclocked kernel may cause it.
i wrote this thread by my personal experience i tried all these roms and more and these information i dont know just by reading threads , its like a year of experiencing and trying to make my arc s better .
if i helped please press the like button
if u have any question ill be happy to answer them

CM10.2 (Android 4.3) is running pretty good. I gave my Arc S to my Brother and he says that it is running fine.
Btw. I dont want to be rude, but please use more "." and ",", its very challenging to read your Post if anything is in one sentence
But 4.3 is running good, for Camera usage i recommend to download the Playstore App "Camera ICS", that should do that.
(If it isnt already fixed somehow.)
Cheers, ShockBuddy
i tried 4.2 cm on my arc s , it wasnt that good comparing to cm9 4.0
i tried alot of rom and cant find the best one there has to be something in every rom a bug or something
but i see videos of arc s running custom roms and running smoothly and lag free so i am looking for the best
Thank you
