I know, there are huge lists of roms that are available for the Xperia Neo, but I have a long list of requirements and thought that you might be able to help me out with something that I would probably need multiple weeks for.
General information:
The exact name for my smartphone is 'Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V'.
I don't have any warranty on my phone anymore. (I got it on xmas in 2011 and I had 24 month warranty.)
I rooted it in 2012 (april approximately)
I lost the backup between millions of files on my old computer. (It still exists though.)
I can't remember what I used to root it, but it was rediculously simple.
I installed an Anit-Theft app on it in 2011. 'Avast Internet Security & Antirirus' and I remember it sayin something like it will hide itself as system app and protect itself etc. I'm not sure if I remember the password...
What I expect from the custom rom:
It must support all the components (including HDMI, USB, WIFI, GPS, 3G, cams...).
It should be as small as possible (on disc and RAM)
but there shouldn't be any critical or extremely annoying bugs.
low CPU usage
control over the CPU clock (to get more battery time)
I only want necessary software to be installed on the device by default. (atm there are about 100 apks that are clearly not necessary)
I hope I didn't forget anything.
The reasons:
I want more battery time. (Yes I already turned my screen darker, bought a bigger battery and closed background processes)
I hate it to have a mess on my device.
I hate it to have no control over it.
I need more internal discspace. (Thanks to bad developers like WhasApp's and the 100 unnecessary preinstalled system apks. I think I don't even have 200MB available on my internal storage.)
Lesser lag and responding times (especially for the keyboard)
Best regards and thanks in advance,
ferivon
here is the list of roms & kernels http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316394 have lots of different kind roms & kernels select one accordingly which suites your need .. one thing there is no best rom or kernel out there , try all select the one enjoy full freedom .. welcome to xda

No rom is fast or best. It depends on users choice. Try each rom and see whats best for you. Dont create such threads in future. Its baseless

I did not ask for the best rom. Read the whole post before answering in future.
Btw: When I registered here, a message showed up, implying that it is okay to ask for roms with specific features as long as you don't ask for it in a dev section.
However, enough offtopic, I asked for the rom that would fit my needs the best.
I hope you don't seriously want me to test every rom that is compatible with my phone. Not sure if you knew it, but there are humans that have a 'real life'. I can't just put a new rom on my device and test it for 10 minutes to see if it fits my needs. It takes a lot of time to see if the rom is stable bug-free etc. And now imagine I would do this for like 50 roms. It would take me years...
It doesn't necessarely need to be the one that fits my needs 'the best'.
I just thought that someone here has some experience with most roms and that you could at least give me a smaller list of possible roms.
Or maybe you just happened to know one specific rom that is very good and fitting my needs?

You better try latest updated ROMs use recommended kernel mentioned in rom thread, no further discussions
Sent from my Xperia Neo using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Let me clear up somethings... You need hdmi so you will have to stick to ics or gb... And in general all roms try to provide you the best experience... By having an unlocked boatloader you can install a custom kernel and thus getting control on processor... All roms generally aren't bloated... So I would say any stock based rom ll suit you...

You don't have to test every ROM anyways and
DO not refer "the life" here...respect the developers, they do have their lives even after making these ROMS for You....
If you are intelligent enough to read the general and development threads.... and know the ROM bases(AOSP,cyno,PACMAN,etc) from good developers....I can bet you ...you will find a ROM good or even best in less testing...because many ROMS on ICS based are premium icing on the cake...
do check the rating on the right side of the thread
Ok, thank you all.
Try different roms before deciding what is best
For me carbon rom works good for 4.4.2. Waiting for update to 4.4.3

(ADMINS: I know that I can be banned because os this... but I believe that it's a relevant question for this development/users community.)
But should we kindly ask stelios97 and nobodyAtall to merge their efforts to create a single kernel and a single ROM for our minis?
It would rock without any doubt.
What do you think?
Why do u think tat way. Its great we have seperate kernels. This way user can choose wat we want n customise accordingly. Ask for new roms nt this

Because:
- the time and effort that everyone can give to this type of projects its not infinite.
- we see things working on 1 kernel or ROM and not working on the other.
- they are even using for example the same code base but creating 2 different versions without sharing all the improvements (for example the home button to turn on the light in the nobodyAtall ROM that's not implemented in the one from stelios).
More kernels/ROMS, more options to choose. True.
I would prefer only 1 kernel/ROM with more quality that I can customize with my prefered apps.
Oh...come' on, We have DIFFERENT ANDROID VERSIONS here! We must have different kernels for different android versions. Try running a gingerbread kernel on jellybean, I bet it won't even boot, (If you do that, please tell me to laugh at you! :laugh: ). Another one reason is that every developer spends time for development according to their life, they are not getting paid for their contribution. So enjoy their work as long as they continue contibuting and stop asking insane questions, they won't even happen, so try to read some things first before posting!

I didn't write that because it's obvious for me and didn't want to insult the brains that are working on this. _
I'm thinking about 1 kernel/ROM for each android version (2.3, 4.0, 4.1).
i don't want to insult anyone or offend his work... But this thing is impossible cause if you see just the history of our two main developers from theit beginning and digg up their work and effort, what they have achieved and how, you'll see that there is no connection between them... It's just two different kind of developers... Everyone who is fast and really watches this device's development understood what i said above!!!
oh so you mean one series of ROMs like MiniCM. you have it alread - MiniCM. as for kernel, you have nAa ICS and also GB kernel. so this thread is basically pointless. no offence intended.
i voted for yes it would be awesome if they would create one super cool rom
but the final decision its up to them

You are right there is many roms and kernels unfinished and unoptimized that merging the work could end in stable and optimized rom

Well, based on my own knowledge..
The main pros of all custom roms is that you push your device tru its limits
You make your device more powerful than stock
While the main cons is that you will lost your warranty which is only valid for only a year i think

dude..every roms have some advantage or disadvantage.and there are like hundreds of rom availlable for neo/v.so u can not get info about pro cons about each rom.these are the reasons that your qstn will not get a proper ans.
-differnt people has different choce for rom..some like blueis icon or stock experience like AOSP,CYNOGENMOD,PACROM while others like roms that are based on stock sony firmwares.
-some prefer light roms that runs faster..like JJ Hybrid rom..but some like heavy roms which have all social and whether widgets so its up to you what you like more.
-choice of rom also veries for every version of rom..some version may be stable..but it will not have latest features..on the other side the rom with latest features may not necessarily be stable.

None can give you a detailed pro and con list for every specific Rom...
You'll have to invest your time and effort! Well,not a single Rom is worse when compared to the stock!
Everyone has delivered well with their bit of ideas by presenting their Roms!

Tell you the truth I don't find much difference in stock roms. Probably just a few tweaks here and there. And since you probably aren't going to update your rom often, ANY stock based rom should be fine. There are plenty out there, just choose the one that looks best for you.
As for the kernels, you don't have much choice actually. It's either alliance or suave. I personally prefer alliance due to the somewhat better performance.
Sent from my soon-to-be bricked Neo V
This is like a best ROM thread which is not useful. The pro's for one person may be a con for another and vice versa, it's like one mans rubbish is another mans riches. Best thing to do which is why these forums exist, is for you to look at the ROM's available and then experiment for yourself by trying them, you lose nothing and gain experience so win win.

Hi everyone, my questions here may seem strange or noobish, but I'll ask them anyways,
I follow these forums (XDA), since a good time now, (since I have my Xperia X1, got it nov 2008 to be exact, but I discovered XDA a little while later), and I read lots and lots of threads and posts everyday, I was there when CWM was born, I flashed tons of ROMs on my X1, WM6.1, WM6.5, Android since 2.1 I think, I had stopped all this for some times when I had much work to do for school and work etc. and I came back 3months ago with XPERIA P...
I followed and read almost every thread in here, and I'm sorry to announce that I find all this a bit Messy (not Lionel)...
I want the best Experience for my smartphone, and here I'll explain what's the "best" experience for me, and I wish you could tell me what's the best thing to do for it.
1) I love Xperia Stock UI, that's why I want stock XPERIAnce
2) I love smoothness, thats why I want a light ROM and good Kernel =)
3) I know that .54 FW is insanly buggy, so I'll certainly need some tweaks
so now that you've read my little story, I think I have all your attention so I can ask my questions, that's why I'll type them below:
1) What's the best ROM for me?
- I think about getting this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069543) I want to know what you think about it, seems really good to me, but don't want to waste time flashing and reflashing, I used to do it with my old phone so now I just want to flash once and stay with My phone like it is all the time
2) What's the point of getting another than stock Kernel?
- I mean here that okay it can be smoother and have better battery or benchmarks, but tbh I don't really care of that all unless there's a big difference, so is it a real difference between stock kernel and Sliding or Thjap?
Yeah I know my question seem noobish and may have been asked many times, but I'm searching for someone who can make my wishes come true, or at least show me the way to do it by myself, because actually I learn computer science but all this is not what we learn at school, so I don't knwo where to start...
Now For all of you that didn't fall asleep while reading my story (could write a book lol it's so long) hit the thanks button (just to know if you reached the end of my post LOL, joke no need to do it)
Seriously for every person that reaches the end of my post, just feell free to help or teach me how to make my own ROMs, because yea there are tutorials and stuff, but it's always better to have someone showing you the first steps, it helps you keep focusing on it and not being bored,
I thank every guy here that can help me or just took the time to read my looong long post =)

1.) Only you can tell what's the best ROM for your phone. But for my Xperia P, I use BrainsROM. It has all the features I need for my smartphone. Battery does not drain that fast and overall performance is good. :laugh:
2.) Hmmm. I am not that pro yet when it comes to kernels, but as I can see, there is a big difference using kernels from Sliding and Thjap from stock. You can see big improvements when it comes to overall performance. Most people use Stock ROM's combined with Modded Kernels.
Sorry for my bad english, english isn't my first language. :good: Hit the thanks button if my post helped you.
Your question regarding kernel
The kernels provided by thjap and deepunknown are more than just another stock kernel
pre rooted
Cwm integrated
Init.d support
Ooverclocked ( removed from deepunknown's kernel)
Some performance n battery tweaks
And a hell lot of new things
So Are there any cons over custom roms and kernels, like freeezes or reboots or phones stuck? Did you ever experience that ?

I have never experienced any reboots or freeZes on all custom roms that I have tried ( talking about those for unlocked bootloaders)
Most of the roms dun have any lag like our beloved stock rom
Regarding kernels - if its a test release... U cannot expect it to b highly stable...
Bt final releases are stable ( coz they r thoroughly tested by some testers including me
all credits to developers
Some have made it to 6 stable releases in xperia p section )
And you tell me that custom stable kernel is smoother and has better battery life than stock ? How come Sony engineers didn't make it better so ?

Yes it is bt I didnt said anything about battery yet
When I used miui it was superb
Bt battery life was not as much as I expected ( less than stock rom)

Coz they can port jb to xj bt not to xu and xsola... Thats pathetic engineering
I am currently on PA 3.68 and was on Omega for short time and before that I was on Viking.
Can anyone suggest a good ROM at present. On PA 3.68 , my battery is draining a lot faster. I tried to find if any application is consuming , but it seems its not the case.
So please suggest a stable , faster and better battery ROM.
'Which rom' threads are against the rules, try some yourself but don't share the results please.
Yup , first decide which one you want for yourself , a aosp or sammy base ROM.
sent from the state marijuanated muffins are NOT illegal !
Despicable me Minion Rush Lags a lot in SIII
Even i want a ROM which consumes less battery, currently on Omega ROM 4.1.2, has average battery drain but lags a lot when i play Despicable me Minion Rush game, I know the game has pretty high end graphics but my friend can play this game without any lags in his Galaxy SII, if a galaxy SII can play this game without any lags why cant SIII, Please someone suggest me a ROM which has good graphics performance with less to moderate battery consumption. P.s I never turned on Power saving mode while playing the game so my phone is functioning with 4 cores al the time.
I am thinking of opting to Liquid smooth ROM ...which is very less in size around 120MB ..whats your suggestion guys.
With all due respect , Asking fellow users which rom they use and which they feel or suggest to others is unreasonable ?
Not many have the time to check multiple ROMs and come to a conclusion.
It takes atleast a week to settle with a new rom . Apart from this configuring each app , etc will take loads of time.
I tried three roms , all different ones , but cant able to find a good rom whcih has good battery , or faster ROM.
If you think , you can suggest , please do .
If mods feel this is against rule , please help me and fellow members who need some kind of pathway to get good ROM. Tried and tested ones.

I'm afraid so. So many people ask the same question, the rule is to stop the forum being drowned in these thread. There is no real answer anyway, other than go back to stock and disable all the bloat.
All that will happen now is that this thread will get locked by a mod.

look at the popularity of the rom's threads in the dev section and you will have a direction on which rom is most popular / most used.
battery, speed etc. depends on your usage, hence there is NO way we can tell you what is best for YOU.
Omega was popular , but i tried 4.2.2 version of its ROM and faced few issues.
I am ready to try new ROM , but there are multiple ROM`s now , so among them , i dont know which one to pick.
Of course its hard to say which is better , atleast some user feedback would be good.

read the respective rom's threads (start with the most popular once, here you can look for instance at how often updated, how many posts in total etc.), tons of user feedback and after that you can decide by yourself.
ok will try...
Yeah it kinda sucks that best rom threads are against the rules but since most roms are published in xda noone want to create controversy directly IN xda.
Anyways i will answer cause i dont really care and cause that's what people that have the same phone do: give each other suggestions about software.
So.
first off i will state it's best you do NOT use aosp roms, they tend to drain your battery much quicker than samsung ("sammy") based ones. and samsung based ones are more stable.
secondly i suggest you do not flash any 4.2.2 roms yet, and definitely not any 4.3 roms.
Thirdly i will suggest probably one of the most popular roms for s3 (also the one i think is the best. And the one which sure has a higher costumizability rate than any other) because i like it, because it consumes significatively less battery thank my stock rom, because it's cool with all it's customizations: foxhound.
Like i said best rom threads ARE against the rules but im just gonna give my opinion here, so i have to remind you to keep in mind i have only tried a limited amount of roms (7? maybe 10 i dunno...) and my opinions can be very limited do not swear by them.
Not that we got copyright acts out of the way i will tell you i think omega is a good rom but not great. I mean it does everything many other roms do and with not so great performance or battery drainage, but not bad either...lets say its average and very stable and leave it at that.
Also check kernels and cpu governors to tweak performance/battery options.
use apps like greenify to control apps that run in background and apps like 3g watchdog to check apps that download in background and apps like the es system utility thing (it like an addon app to the file browser) that has integrated app startup manager, thats useful too.
But having a fast and stable rom isn't just about choosing the rom or kernel, it's about spending time (a week should be enough) to check it all, get into its nooks and crannies and tweak it everywhere!
Its about checking your battery life, which apps consume battery?
And bam, you find out 10% is consumed by that led color controller app that you dont even use. So delete, disable, kill.
You gotta make the right choices, use the right apps to tweak your system, and uninstall all the useless ones.
Get INTO those settings!
Get INTO dev options and set screen drawing to gpu instead of cpu!
Set animations to 0.5secs instead of 1!
Get INTO that s**t!
This is how you take care of a problem...android is not for iphone users
Use the power your phone really has, the beating heart of unix!
use it!

Thread Closed
Since it doesn't really appear to be allowed to ask for good ROMs, how can I find a ROM that fits my needs?
I'm basically looking for a list of ROMS that are compatible with my device. By "compatible with my device" I mean that it should support display output through the HDMI and of course support for all the other hardware compunents. My device is a Xperia Neo V btw.
If I remember it correctly I need an ICS or GB ROM.
So is there a nice list that allows a complete noob like me to find out which ROM could be my best or at least a good choice?
Maybe a list with descriptions or feature lists so that I can tell which ROM I like the most.
And of course it would be nice if the list would only contain or mark compatible ROMs.
I'm also looking for a list of compatible kernels.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,

I'm basically looking for a list of ROMS that are compatible with my device. By "compatible with my device" I mean that it should support display output through the HDMI and of course support for all the other hardware compunents. My device is a Xperia Neo V btw.
If I remember it correctly I need an ICS or GB ROM.
So is there a nice list that allows a complete noob like me to find out which ROM could be my best or at least a good choice?
Maybe a list with descriptions or feature lists so that I can tell which ROM I like the most.
And of course it would be nice if the list would only contain or mark compatible ROMs.
I'm also looking for a list of compatible kernels.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Ferivon

While searching for roms/kernels, it's best to see in the development section of your forum. In your case, here it is :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/neo-v-development
Try to use a more recent rom as it is easy to get support for them if anything goes wrong.
Thanks, but the problem with this link and also with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316394
is that I have to read the thread of every ROM/kernel to estimate if they fit my needs. :/
And there are soo many, it makes it really difficult for a noob like me. I mean I don't even know the differences between ICS and GB. :/

Sadly yes, that's the only way to choose a rom. Spend sometime reading the threads, see screenshots (Try to keep an eye on the buglist too !)
For your second question about choosing ICS or GB. I won't go much deeper, You just have to keep in mind that a newer android version means better user experience, compatibility with more apps and so on. Hope this helps you
In general, KK>JB>ICS>GB
That's sad, well, thank you anyway.

i agree with you. I just need a rom that would be smooth for a lot of time. Most roms stuck after a month. I am looking for more that 5 months and I am still looking. I try the GB releases, they are quick but the applications crash all the time. Then I try ICS releases I find 3-4 really good releases but everyone of them had a different problem and after a month it was really slow. Now i am trying some KK releases. I try 3 releases. 2 of them was good at the begin. Only the one still works after 2 weeks. It got some bugs but it still works.
I will recommend you some releases to try.
Gingerbread: Gin2KitKat, Spacious GB
Ice Cream Sandwich: Spacions ICS, Superleggera, Ultimate HD
Kit Kit: ParanoidAndroid
This till now... You will find all of them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/neo-v-development
Currently using Mike's CM11, before this I'm using Jelly Vanilla EX(that smooth Jellybean 4.2.2) and I settled on that rom for almost half years(nice for me)
And as usual, it's hard to recommend roms because everyone has different needs. If you wish to find a good-enough rom, try it by yourself and feel it :thumbup:
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
If you want to go for jellybean (4.1.2) then I have been using Super JellyBean on my device since long... Its stable and battery friendly.
Moreover you may try other roms to suit your needs
You may find the thread regarding this on device's development section
Hope this helps
