I am using wt19i with stock ics rom but the kind of performance coming out the phone is really pathetic....
1. Switching on Bluetooth results in restarting the phone (posted earlier here)
2. Third class fps (frames per second) even while browsing songs a bit speedy
3. Games like virtua tennis lags a lot (forget about high end games like MC4, Real Racing 3, Gangstar Vegas)
4. Battery automaticall goes up and down (screen shot provided below is 100% geniun - swear to God)
5. Phone continuous to lag even in usage of calender, calculator, play store loading etc.
In short, it starts hurting me from unlocking the screen. I am getting tedious of using my phone.
Please guys suggest me something that results in positive. I don't want to divert from stock Ice Cream Sandwich.
So please give me solution to fight with stock ics and not to run away to custom Roms.
I have tried factory resets several times, formatted memory card (32gab) but nothing worked.
Please help me. I am pleading.

i would suggest u doing this:
1. flash a stock ftf using this guide:http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/GUIDE-How-to-Install-Jelly-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389 <-- will make ur phone like it was out of the box on purchase , now all should work IF NOT u may think about dome HW defects
2. flash serajr's clean and fixed ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973859 <-- this is stock ics like ur phone deserves, no mods, only a clean stock ICS with little tweaks (like ini.d support)
and then after all done u may use the supercharger script as it has a whole package (& superchargered services.jar)
- use some ini.d tweaks to clean old temp files & caches so ICS dont gets so laggy.
if u really want a fast ICS, that may also will stay fast u may try pranav pandeys xNXT rom in light version.
Ok thanks for coming up, but I am noob, wordings used in your solution are out of my knowledge coverage
Still I visited that CLEAN ICS THREAD...
So I wanted to ask you that whether the Rom provided there is custom or stock?
If it is custom then I will be out of my purview to install (I need guide at every moment of installation) and if it is stock Rom (with some modifications in it) then it will be handy for me using flashtool....
Please answer dude. Thank you very much again and a thank you in advance....

sry for late answer, also pls quote me so i see it (!)
1st its okay if u sth dont understand just ask or google once, its easier to understand in a native language.
then to clarify: (bcuz most ppl confuse this)
STOCK ROM: what u get shipped out of the box from sony.
CUSTOM ROM: its a modified rom. this can be cyanogenmod (modified nexus fw, google's repo on git); or stock sony ics fw with 1 fixed bug, even if all other is untouched, so u see custom rom isnt sth bad , ppl just dont know
but also there's also:
STOCK-BASED-ROM: means the rom u get had stock FW as base (now wit some mods) (also this is quite the same as ''custom rom'' above.)
okay so his rom (xperia clean and tweaked) is a stock-based-custom rom , it doesent mater if u can install it using flashtool or CWM, but cwm is easier i only aviced it u bcuz its the most u can get from the stock FW without doing big modifing, so its still very close to stock, just without the crap :good: but u can think about it later... but only with sonys fw in my oppinion u WONT GET A GODD XPERIENCE (gb is okay but ICS gets laggy, is buggy etc) ....
SO, WHAT'S DO NOW?? easy.
pls backup ur stuff sms, contacts, etc. and then backup sd., THEN FORMAT SD!!!
1. visit the sony site in link given above download the latest (587) fw(=firmware) for ur device.
2. follow the instructions there how to flash it using flashtool (the fw).
3. after done & booting up, like said its nw like out of the box. so if u getting some problems ITS possible HW due (bcuz software its not!!)
if u want do try the clean & tweaked rom or other just ask (or if have some question).
also for ur crazy battery, maybe its bcuz old battery thats typical for them (such behaviour), so when its old maybe u buy a new one

Hi all,
i am new to this great forum and owner of a neo v.
i used stock gb for a while, unlocked bl, rooted it and ****ed the system heavily up because i am a bloody noob
Then i tried CM9 and 10, Spacious ISC, Ice Cream Purness and Polish Blood JB.
Except for Polish Blood, i was not very happy with the performance of the Roms, but maybe that was just because i never updated to official ICS FW and still was on BB 64 (iirc, was for sure some 60ties BB).
Polish Blood is great (and exactly what i am looking for, clean, no imo useless fancy stuff) but as it is not maintained anymore and the last version is still too buggy for my daily use it is also not suitable for me.
Then i decided to go back to Sony ICS, so i relocked BL, flashed .431 FW via Flashtool (my SI is not on the list for .487) and did a seus repair.
So now i am on official ICS from Sony and the Performance is really bad (well CM9 or 10 was not really better tho).
As there is a whole Jungle of Roms out there, i wanted to ask you guys if you can recommend me a Rom/Kernel combination.
What i need/want:
- it should be fast, that is the most important thing, i really dont care about theme engine xy, window animations from jb or designs and wallpapers i won't use anyway. Tbh i preffer it if it's stupid simple and naked (i use OpenBox as WM on my pc...)
- Hdmi and 720p recording must be working
- as mentioned above, i like it simple and clean
Oh and i have two more question...as my neo v doesn't officially supports FW .487 would it be a problem to use a rom based on that fw and must i flash this FW prior to a custom rom based on .487? (in some install instructions i read that you have to do so, in some not...)
Thank you all in advance!

Hi, i'm newbie too, but I tried many ROMs, and I can say, that stock .62 FW with some modifications is really faster than all of custom ROMs, except CyanogenMod 7, but it doesn't have some features from stock (like keyboard, HDMI and music player), so 2.3.4 .62 is the best for performance and daily use) now i'm on .587 stock fw, it is fast too, but it have more bugs in games, than gingerbread.

Just for the record, there is an official update for my neo v to .587, although it is not written in the sony si number forum post and i did not get a notification on my phone...i just connected my phone to pcc because i wanted to check, if there is the possibility to backup /data and it told me there is an update available (adb backup don't work on my linux or windows pc...but that's another topic if it still doesn't work with .587, i just want to backup game data and stuff before i re-unlock bootloader).
So maybe there are other users here that could get an update and don't know about it...

that's good to know, i will try out a few more isc roms and if im still not happy, i think i will have a look at CM7. The keyboard is definitely much better than the one brought with CM, but i think it shouldn't be too hard to copy the APK over (if not, there are some good swipe-keyboards in the store), same for the music player, but i liked the one shipped with CM 9 and 10 anyway.
For HDMI, i read somewhere, that it is now working for the neo in CM7 but i have to check that again.

i used Pureness for quite a while (version 11) and want to give it another try, as i was not on .587 and BB 77 as ThilinaC writes in the install instructions.
The performance was good after reboot, but it slowed down quite fast. I know he writes that i should restart my phone once a day, but i don't like this as a permanent solution. With Polish Blood i used the phone for a week, and it was almost as fast as it was after the boot. But well the one is ICS and the other JB, i know (although CM10 was not really fast compared to Polish Blood)...
If JellySandwich and Ultimate HD become laggy after some time of usage too, i will go back to GB or just restart my phone every day

I tried it for a couple of days, and i must say the multitasking build is really fast, even after a few days without reboot. The only problem is, that i can't play games like temple run because it lags as hell (even with the games build), only after fresh reboot it runs smooth for a while. But as playing games is not so important, i might stick to that rom, just want to try out a few others before.
ah ok because I do not really react with the mobile games so no idea how to play it.
sorry for my english must always write only in German and translated via google leave.

Ok found JJ's Hybrid ROM and it is just awesome! Pure AOSP feeling without the bugs that non sony-based roms have (ie bad touchscreen) but also not the problems that many sony-based roms have (slow phone, contacts, etc apps). It is not as fast as some other roms and the app drawer lags sometimes, but it is still fast enough (after a few hours of usage, just after the first boot it feels laggy for an hour or two) and the pure aosp ui is unbeatable smooth imo.
So, great rom, i can just recommend it!

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

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.

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.

As far as i know only a dev can update the gpu drivers for his rom or kernel...
Also, upgrading the gpu drivers is not something that will make ur phone much better.... Usually there are just minor improvements

coming back to the OP question - linux and linux based architectures (android) are unique because their drivers are integrated in the kernel of the OS. Therefore, updated drivers are only available in updated kernels, one of the reasons why kernel incompatibilities arise (roms are rarely compatible between different versions of kernels). In short, updated drivers means newer kernel.
As far as newer versions of roms are concerned, they usually have updated and optimised libraries utilising the same underlying drivers, imparting an impression of improved performance.
soft brick
For the walkman you can try acid sound mod it comes included or QcAE(currently using it)
For restarts its a kernel or rom issue download again and try again, if not working

Hello, everyone. I just bought an old Xperia mini and it is very slow (lagging so much) and I think an upgrade to Kitkat could help it faster but I am not sure about it and do not want to waste the time if it is not really worth it (newbie). So, could you help me with these answer?
1. How approximately fast (percent?) is the Kitkat custom room (carbon rom, pacman...) vs. 4.0.4 Sony xperia mini stock room?
2. How big is the custom room (typically) in comparison to the Sony stock room (My phone always notified me that there is not enough space to install apps despite the fact that I moved most of apps to SD card)
3. (Do not know it is suitable to ask) Which Kitkat custom room is the smallest size? I do not need to customize and my need is very basic.
4. Could I return to Sony stock rom (4.0.4) later if I want?
Thank you

1. it will blast you away. never thought it could be that good (Sony ics is very laggy:silly
2. ROM storage & data (app) storage are to diffrent partition a smalller rom doesent means really u will hav more space for apps, but:
a) never had space probelms with any LX build in apps (& yuo said your needs are basic)
b) u can use mount2sd or app2sd to put apps on SD to gain more space
3. if you say ur needs are basic use LX CM10.1 it has all the basic stuff & works great (better than kitkat bcuz there are many other problems due to lack of proper drivers.) mostly al other roms (PAC & carbon etc) are built on top of it or using as base.
4. yes you can flash a stock ICS ftf file via flashtool. software will be like out of the box.
give your phione some new life & try LX (or based) ROM. its the best at the moment

Thank you for your very useful answer. But I wonder why I should not use LX CM 10.2 instead of 10.1?

its just something i would advice to you. you said you have simple needs & all fw (CM -10.1, -10.2, -11) look quite same, only KK CM11 is a bit more with eyecandy. also its the stablest one (best battery & best working drivers from all LX's) at the end its your choice
CM10.1 - stablest & best working
CM 10.2 - somewhere between those two
CM11 - newest

Well..
There's some roms for gts5282 and maybe u guys already tried those out.
Amongst them,one of the most lightweight rom is FAKE_SLIMKAT.
This rom is already $mooth enough to use.But if u guys want ur phone more smooth,just do as I say.
First dload the rom from here..
MAIN THREAD : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-star/development/update-custom-rom-4-2-2-fakeslimkat-t2955068
Start ur job...
Flash this rom via cwm 6.0.3 or twrp 2.6.3
Latest Cwm for gts5282 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../recovery-cwm-6-0-5-1-samsung-galaxy-t3235242
After flashing that rom flash this kernel before reboot.
ZD KERNEL V5 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ernel-codename-croco-kernel-19-march-t3058404
Now reboot ur phone.
Setup everything.
Then go to root explorer and go to system/app.
Delete holo launcher hd and holo notifier.
Replace it with ur launcher(whatever u like).
But i recommend u to replace with SecLauncher2 by argha.
Dload launcher from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-star/themes-apps/mod-t3134511
Now after replacing launcher,delete bloats that u dont want on ur phone.
I deleted gapps(xcept phonesky nd google login service) coz i dont need them.
Now go to recovery and flash this pure performance hd.
Dload pphd : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295010
Flash this and reboot ur phone.
Now use greenify to freeze apps and save battery/ram.
Credit : To all those guys who dedicating their times to make our phone a little better.
NB : AFTER DOING THIS,MY GTS5282 NEVER USED MORE THAN 220MB RAM,THOUGH I INSTALLED 14 APP WITH 4 BIG GAME ON MY PHONE.
SO,WHY DONT U GIVE IT A TRY...
I dont think remove some gapps from system may smooth ur phone. Couse if you deleted some of the gapps. Some apps will start fc. I dont think thats a good idea.

Hmm, from where should I start... First of all, that kernel combined with that rom is the worst combination ever. Everyone knows that the kernel is made for stock rom and works best with it, not to mention that the overclocking is totally not working even if it somehow worked it doesn't explain why you have low used ram because the overclocking is only effects CPU. Back to the point where you mentioned the low used ram as something "good" while indeed it's not. Ram is where program get stored so the more your ram is full the faster your phone will run. So I'm sorry but this thread is fake af.

I don't want to argue with u here.
I will open a new thread to make things clear.
