A little guidance needed - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

hello everyone, just got myself a Neo V and i have the following noobie questions
i've come from varous devices, new to sony, i am on stock ics here with locked bootloader (ICS - 4.0.3) and build number being 4.1.A.0.562, if i wanna install another ROM it needs to be 4.0.3 or some other? (don't wanna unlock boot now)
a really good ICS rom which is less laggy than the stock one please?
thanks

Well if u want u can use the new world of apps that rooting has given u to remove the bloatware and to freeze the memory hogging apps to make ur device faster

It is not a official ICS addon, that is why it is not added.
Sony's ICS are the best and it looks fantastic unlike any other brand ics

Then we just need to get our rooting gloves on and take them out to the local recycle bin.

Hi!
Sony will give as beta updates for BL unlocked phones like was with arc, ray and neo??
Somewhere I have read that Sony will not publicate alfa or beta roms for our phones.
If they restrict beta I will be mad!
i think new in ics -gui -more elegant -more use ram and much more

Just wait 1-1,5 months and you have official ICS, no point of releasing beta version.

It is said, that around end May/early June get all other Xperia phones the ICS update.
Cant wait for this. Loved the elegance of it.
Anyway, i think ICS will be available here on Brazil only in July ~ August. ):
Great news
I have a couple of questions though. If anyone is able to answer them I'd be thankful.
First of all, it seems root is already available on Xperia phones following some replies on this thread. Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how can we do it? A thread on this forum would do, sometimes even using search I get lost trying to find what I want
Second, suppose I don't like ICS and I'd rather revert back to GB. Will flashing the phone with a Nandroid backup work? I imagine I'll need root and install recovery first. Is recovery an easy thing to install on ICS? I installed my current recovery through the CWM Recovery installer available on Google Play, will it work on ICS? Will I need to unlock my bootloader to do it?
If a Nandroid backup won't work, will flashing the phone with Flashtool with a (rootable) .42 or .58 firmware work? If it does, will I still be able to update to .62 with OTA?
That's a lot of questions, I know..but I'd really like to know that stuff before I consider updating to ICS.
Thanks in advance!
yeah,can't wait androi 4.0

dont sweat it.
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
it only takes 15 minutes max to root.
remember, you cant root .62 yet
yes you can go back to any firmware of gingerbread if you dont like ics by using easy flashtool toolkit.
no you dont need cwm recovery to install ics, you need sony pc update companian app on your computer or maybe just through the air from your phone.

Help.

Hi. My wife have neo v. And i install official ics for her but the phone is not good soo much. And she blame me that i fu.. her phone. I try to find some custom rom for her, but i dont know what i need to look. So i need help from people who is test few roms/kernels. I need good kombo rom/kernel. She just play games and little facebook. So every help is good. Tnx to all for help. Please.....
Open pc companion,go to support zone,phone software upgrade and repair phone.This will do a fresh ics install over the one you upgraded.And things will be lot smoother now.Backup everything like sms,contacts before doing this cos this will erase everything in your phone and do a clean install.
btw I think wrong section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1605
I will try that. Tnx
Are there any further demands? AOKP/CM9 is very smooth, but video recording and some small stuff doesn't work.
Otherwise try MIUI. It has no bugs, and is a lot smoother and better looking than stock.
U can go back to GB If gaming is a priority

ROM. Need help

Hello there,
I have a lot of doubts regarding android and I hope you clear them by answering . Thank you.
ROM. What exactly is it. It means read only memory right? So, its basically Rom as we know it.?
1- why do we change Rom to install New os. Say ICS or something.
2- do we need to root the ph to install new roms?
3- if I want to run ICS on my desire hd, I just need to download the ics setup and install it?
4- I M able to find a lot of roms by different people, what is it?
Please explain and elaborate

Root your dads device and if u need warranty then unroot it again. Stock rom is smooth only if you remove bloatwares. But with those useless apps your dads phone gonna lag in games and stuffs. I suggest go for root and unroot it later if you need warranty. Search lonewanderers or madfysh thread for root.

Really thank u for your reply..but unlocking bootloader and jst rooting the device is it okay? Bcz dad likes to have simple stock UI only..any suggestions to make gaming experience better? Bcz all the games like subwaysurfers,templerun etc lag a lot!! Any idea hw to smothen it?
Rooting will do it. Bootloader unlockin will void ur warranty forever. Instead root it and go for any custom rom like pureness, uhd, etc then no game will lag even a bit.
P.S. Press thanks if someone helps you dont spam thanks.

Corret me if i'm wrong !
You can relock bl back whenever you want ! No one will know that ! As we all know that relock bl back can even use SUS :good::highfive:
But once u lose drm even if u relock bl u wont get it back. And service centers do check drm so ur warranty will be void anyway.only pt is unlockin bl by testpoint which I dont prefer. Btw he wants a smooth gaming and lagfree phone that doesnt need unlockin bl. A stock based custom rom is enough for it.

My Suggestion.
root it. put CWM. get any rom ur comfortable with which has 'lock/unlock bl' in the title.
keep sony update service or companion ready in your pc/laptop.
when u have to give phone fro service or something
just connect phone and go to update service. follow the steps.
press 'thanks' if i helped....

Need Htc one v (Indian) stock ROM :(

Hi all,
I bought this htc one v about a month ago and yeah it is my first android phone ever. Annoyed by the self running apps I went ahead and rooted the phone (youtube rocks ). And then I installed /system/appmover from market and being stupid enough I moved some system apps. But unfortunately this app permanently deleted those apps. Now my phone is totally messed up.
I need an Indian htc one v stock ROM.
Would someone be generous enough to help me out? plzzzz.
Any suggestions or directions are most welcome. I am a complete noob in android affairs.
Thanx in advance.
Indian?

What is that with the "India" ROM ?
Just flash any of the stock ROM that is not at least chinese of japanese Either way there will be English in every ROMs. Unless you know exactly what you want from the "Indian" ROM.
BTW post your HTC One V related queries in the respective sections

I assume you have already unlocked the bootloader. So there is no reason why you should go for the stock rom again. Do a research on the available custom roms. They should be better than the stock ones, and doesnt contain the manufacturer bloatware. It should perform better, or at your discretion, give more battery backup. You get to choose.
