so i have a Sony Xperia S (LT26i), and i used to have ICS 4.03, now i upgraded to JB 4.1.2
i don't really like the way JB looks, but i like that it moves faster and smoother. i also want to install Cybershot Camera mod, wich is for ICS mostly. i rooted my phone, i unlocked bootloader, i installed ClockWorkMod.
My question is, what ICS rom (stock or custom) would you recommend me, that has hotfixes and runs faster than ICS 4.03.
kinda runs fast like jellybean but is ICS) ? mainly for gaming and camera.
PS: i think i like this guys ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125370
but he said he ported it for Xperia ARC. i want it for Xperia S (

Hey all... I have Xperia neo mt15i running stock 4.0.4 .587 build..it gets lagy after installing many apps.. i tried other roms like "revolution ICS" and "ICS pureness"..they are good but they have so many sony features and widgets removed from Roms that i love..
If anyone just build a Rom from stock firmware removing bloatware( not widgets nd Track id nd lets Golf app).. deodex the rom(i dont know what that is but i guess its bettter)...Tweek the statusbar like samsung galaxy s3 or s2 bar with toggles...
And best of it Adreno 205 jelly bean drivers for some performance improvements..
If someone knows a rom like that i described let me know.. or "Would You Kindly" make this
Hi there,
Let me get this straight. Yes, there are MANY types of AOSP ROMS, but here's the problem:
-Most ROMs are based on Sony's stock ROMs from Xperia Z or CM10
-Some ROMs are only on 4.1.1
-Developers added mods/tweaks to their AOSP ROM.
Would it be possible if a stock,clean and stable AOSP ROM be ported to Xperia Neo/Neo V? I'm using mikegapinski's AOSP 4.1, but it lacks some features and is sadly ASIS. I'm not really demanding for one, but it would be good if there are vanilla jelly bean ROMs. I might have missed some pure ROMs while searching, so if there are any do recommend them.
Thank you.

Not sure about that but it sure would be a good thing if we had Android 4.1/4.2 with full functionality,that means 720p recording too.I have been trying to find a good Jelly Bean (4.1 or 4.2) ROM for my Neo for quite a while now,real JB (no hybrids with ICS though they can be nice too) and had mixed results.Lupus JB kernel comes with 720p option and that works on some ROMs,so far Super Jelly Bean 4.0 and Xperia Z Jelly Bean (rather new ROM) have been the best for me,many other CM10 and CM10.1 based ROMs I tried were full of bugs.I am also putting high hopes in nAa and his 3.4 kernel,performance with it is great but it consumes a lot of battery and it doesnt seem to support 720p recording at the moment.As for pure AOSP ROMs for Xperia Neo and Neo V I dont think I encountered one,will let you know if I find it.
What I find disappointing with Jelly Bean ROMs is their generally poor customization options when it comes to appearance,most of them look like Cyanogenmod on which they are based on and while I really respect the work of Cyanogenmod team I find their ROMs visually quite disappointing.And the best launchers and system UIs that can be flashed are mostly for ICS only.
True. Also the near-AOSP ROMs are based on mikegapinski's ROM. Thanks for the suggestions
Hello everybody, but I have this little doubt. I have an Xperia Mini ST15 am currently on Gingerbread, but many should know the new Jelly Bean advantages such as: Project Butter, notifications bar with notifications preview, improved system performance and gaming performance, Google Now , the Lock Screen and user interface. Currently I learned that you can put Google Now on devices with Ice Cream Sandwich. But my question is if I can have the advantages mentioned above. Please respond. I am a Noob. XDA the best forum in the world.:good:

You can try installing ICS-based JB ROMs. I think the latest version of CyanogenMod is JB-based.
When it comes to performance we are limited by our hardware, 512MB RAM with 1GHz isn't enough to run JB smoothly especially if you want good gaming performance. What you can do is try CyanogenMod (custom kernel) or the simpler approach is use a stock ICS based custom ROM with ported features. Check out the android dev section in our forums there are so many ROMs with ported features from newer/better phones.

there is no ''ICS-based JB ROM'S'' its based on JB OR ICS. the latest official CM for our devices is cm10= which is JB 4.1.2 (and below like ICS), also mike ported CM' 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) & CM10.2 (JB 4.3) to our devices, as he ported it from CM'S git its unoffical , but its the best JB xperience u can get now for our devices.

yeah i agree , software cant make wonders, there HW limit's ; thats what we have to accept...
but, u can run JB smooth also day to day, mike's CM10.1 is very stable, ofcourse u get some more batery on ICS bcuz 3.xxx kernel is a beast
- also JB is a way smoother than any ICS i had (i installed many), also for ram, u get more in JB (= in my case i can play better games on JB...)
but ICS has the most mods here / and ported stuffs...
Hey
i wanted to get a new rom on a friends xperia U - he is arguing about bad speed and a slow phone.
which one would you recommend? She only uses whatsapp, facebook and kamera, so no special things needed...
thanks a lot!
Which Android version she want?
Listen,
I tried many roms , and in my opinion the lightest and most smooth rom is (SlimCM)
but you have to flash ICS Gapps for it if you need it, and if you want install Greenify to control apps working at background like whatsapp and Facebook
I think the smoothest ROM for xperia u is CM 10.2, but it has some small bugs so if she want a bugless ROM she can use slimCM even if it isn't as smooth as CM 10.2
This is best rom..

if you want JB 4.1.2 rom then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284394 this rom is best..
it is comptible with all xperia p mods+ best ram management...........
and if you are looking for ICS rom then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215284 this rom is best rom.....
i dont think ics needs ram mangement.....
all above are stock or stock based roms.....
if you want your android version above 4.1.2
then CM ROM'S(with some bugs..) are there....
CyanogenMod for sure!
But if it's only a user-friendly behavior, go for SlimCM or just look in the forum and choose the best for your needs, also be careful and read the thread before flashing.
