[Q] How to downgrade from KitKat to Gingerbread? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I have a Xperia U (ST25i) with a 4.4.2 AOSX ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-z2-sirius-xperience-t2725846) and I am having several problems (pretty much all apps crashing, bluetooth not working with my car, LED bar not working). ICS is slow so I want to go back to GB. I downloaded an 2.3.7 FTF file but how do I install it?

[Q] [NOOB] New Xperia U user. Many questions....

Hello all, I am a new Xperia U user. My parents bought me one on Saturday. I have some basic knowledge about Android as I was a Nook Color boy earlier...
Q1. Now I have unlocked its bootloader, and I have installed KASpeed ROM v3 and the KA Speed Kernel v 6.1. I initially had WIFI issues but I fixed 'em. Now the KA Speed Kernel is overclockable, if I am right. So could somebody please tell me how to do so (overclock). I tried many apps (setcpu, no frills CPU control) but all of them say my max clock speed is 1000 MHz only while the kernel promises 1.15 GHz. Help!
Q2. I have installed flashtool successfully and I can flash kernels using fastboot but I cant seem to flash .ftf packages using flashmode ( green LED mode). Whenever I try to do so it says " reading header file" and suddenly "flash aborted"
Q3. Is it possible to make a CWM flashable zip from a .ftf package. I have seen videos of some aIUP.exe or something, I tried but doesn't work.
Any other method?
EDIT= Q4. How do I turn off my LED bar in the Music Player? I don't see any such option in LEDs U CTRL app. So please help///
My Phone's info for reference-
Model - ST 25i
Android - 2.3.7
ROM - KA03 Xperia SSpeed
Kernel- 2.6.35.7 SSpeed Kernel
THANKS
I'm no expert in XPERIA U, but I have XPERIA P and I think will get much less complications if you update your XPERIA U to ICS first.
about Q2 it might be a driver problem..
and Q3 I saw some kernels which are flashable by CWM but I have no idea about creating them
Much more roms and tweaks are available to XPERIA U with ICS than with Gingerbread, you should update and than start customizing your XPERIA

Thanks man, but I know that ICS stock is laggy. And as far as I know GB is much faster than ICS
and as for now only GB has an OC kernel, if I am not wrong.........

Sorry, i didn't know that the stock ICS is laggy on SXU because on my SXP it's smooth.
Maybe if you do update to ICS and install a custom ROM it would not be as much as laggy

not really. seem like it has problem with music app don't worry, open v3 via 7zip and delete semcmusic.apk
After that flash v1 and v2 first, then reboot to system, then back to cwm and flash v3
Other bug people report that when you holding power buton it restarts the phone. I don't hace X ray to check so test by yoursefl
Anyway just make nandroid backup to return if sth happen to your phone
Enjoy and Happy flashing
OK thanks

I've used that rom since one year ago. Sometimes, not always, that happens to me too. I did not find how to fix it. I think it is a bug and the only way I found to making it work again is rebooting...
rom
thats what am doing..Do you know any other better rom for xperia X10?
I tried feravolt ICS4 but it was too unstable. If you are looking something like the Wolf rom maybe the DonutHD is your rom. I heard it is very stable, but It is a GB rom too...

[Q] Xperia U Firmware: .54, .89 or .100?

Hi to all XDA!
I have a simple ask, I'm using the .89 firmware (Xperia U), BL Unlocked and Rooted, from factory has 2.3.7 GB, but I don't like GB too much, so I unlocked BL and upgrade to .89 and Rooted, but after some weeks, it turns very laggy, specially in multitasking, so I need to reboot every night to speed up... After a weeks doing this, I decided to upgrade, and downloaded various Roms, but again a some weeks it turns laggy, with all roms except ShockGens, works perfect but don't have Cyber-Shot and Walkman don't work with equalizer (Apollo does); LED's bar work with a patch and Illumination Bar, I love this ROM but I want Cyber-Shot and Video Recording (it's close when stop recording). Download Music Info is not very important. Also Wi-Fi turns off while the phone is screen-off, solved with WiFi Keep Alive app.
I don't want to underestimate the works of developers, because all roms I tried are amazing, so I ask to us if .89 firmware is the correct to use, or recommend .54 / .100. I do not mind not having free RAM, while not have too much lag using WhatsApp, LINE and Walkman. Also Zello, Messenger (not FB app, the messenger only). ShockGens Rom works very smooth, Dialer and SMS lag is free, less than 1 second to open.
BTW, can someone tell me diferences between .54 - .89 and .100 diferences?
Sorry for very bad english, I follow too many works from Argentina, since I had a Defy to today (Xperia U).
Thanks in advance to all XDA !!
B.1.100 is the latest and smoothest of all Stock ROMs.
I would recommend you to flash Venezuela Xperia U MOD Rom which is based on B.1.100
Stock ROMs tend to become laggy while multitasking because it's process are already running + your own apps.
You can use RAM Manager Pro to help you manage RAM better.
