By A Request I Finnaly Managed To Open This Thread.
The Goal Of This Thread Is
-To Allocate All The Pros. Cons. & Issues All Over The Net
After Long Awaited ICS Upgrade Of 'SONY XPERIA S'
-Posting Solutions If Anyone Finds Out One
A Little Words:
The Stable GB Of Sony In Sony Xperia S Was Outstanding,But When We're Dealing With ICS In It,
Results Are Quite Disappointing As Well As Comforting...?
With The ICS Update The Fact 'Weak Princess' Gets More Prominent In Describing The Phone One State
That Clearly Means The Beauty Increases With Lazyness?
While Maintaining The Style Statement, Sony Forgot The Market Craze Of Performace
And On The Top Of That Missing Feature (Wi-Fi Direct) Is Shownig A Perfect Crime
On Their White Paper
'But They Did There Best'-Could Have Been Said If It Was A Bit Early:victory:
If Its Possible I'll MAke A Quick Comparison Video In Future As My Friend Has Another Xperia S Still On GB
And Showing You The Advantages And Disadvantages... (GB v/s ICS.....FIGHT!!!!!!):fingers-crossed:
Let's Chart It Without Further Delay
PROS.:angel:
1>UI Is Stylish & Fast (In Some Respect, Such As-Folder Viewing,Booting)
2>Gallery
a)Stylish And Usefull
b)Geo Tagging View
3>Walkman Music Player
a)Support .FLAC Format
b)Quality And Variety Of Sound Enhancement Is Prominent
c)Visualisation Is Very Attractive
c)Louder Sound In Bluetooth Streaming
4>Movies App-New Approach With Even Pirated Print Support, Informing The Details From Database
5>Camera
a)Still Photo Quality Increases (Still To Be Confirmed After I Test It)
b)Video Bitrate Increases (Still To Be Confirmed After I Test It)
6>Browser
a)More Finctionality With FAST Performance (Pinch & Zoom,Text Rendering etc)
(Even 3rd Party Browser Get rids Of The Lag e.g Dolphine Browser)
b)Chrome Bookmarks Sync
7>ICS Features
a)Task & Notification Manager
b)Data Usage Monitor
c)New Different Layout Keyboard
d)Settings Rearranged
e)Developers Section In Settings
f)New Resizable Widgets
g)Face Lock
h)New Phone And Messageing Finctionality & Layout
i)New Applications (e.g EA Games*,Notes...etc)
And..etc..etc..etc
CONS.:crying:
1>Laggy UI
a)In Pinch To Floating Widgets
b)Browsing Through App List And Homescreens
2>Gallery Is Laggy In Image Viewing,Pinch Zooming
3>Missing ICS Feature 'Wi-Fi Direct'
4>Movie App Does Not Support Regular movie Format (.MKV With .AAC)
5>Camera With No New Funtionality-Such As Burst Mode, Or Frame Grabber
6>Gaming Framerate Drops,Thats Benchmark
7>Power Saver Mode Malfuntions When Its Killed By ICS Task Killer
And Two Both Saver (Low Battery Saver & Time Saver Does not Work Simultaneously)
ISSUES
1>Wi-Fi Signal Drops*
2>Bravia Engine Not Working When Browsing Images In Gallery*
3>Very Low Ram, Effects In**
a)Multitasking
b)Application Loading (Specially In 'Phone' Appliacation)
c)Music Player Statter
c/a)Laggy Bluetooth Audio (Specially In Gaming & Multitasking
d)Video Framerate Drops In In-build Player
e)Low Gaming Benchmark
5>Appearance Of Useless Applications Can Not Be Uninstalled (For Non-Rooted Device)
6>Facebook Application Gets Older Layout
7>Battery Backup Drops Then GB .75 Kernel
(The '*' Points Didn't Occur In My Case After I Updated To ICS But I Mentioned This As Its Global Summery)
(In '**' Case I Like To Say That There Is A Fact Exist That Is 'Low RAM Is Useless RAM In Linux, But Still Some Say
The Free Ram Is Needed For Upcoming Application To Startup, But Still I've Mentioned These In Isues In Low RAM Segment)
Solutions
To Be Honest None Have Best Solutions For These Issues
But I Like To Shere A Partial Solution For This Low RAM Issue [By Googling A Little, I Came By This Process
Thats Disabling Some Applications In Settings>Apps>All (Tab)]
I've Attached Some Screenshots Informing You Some Apps I've Disabled To Get Some RAM (And It Worked).
As I'm A Medium Application User,So Before Doing This I Had 95-110MB RAM, Now Its 150-220 MB RAM
My View:
Its CONFUSING, Thats All I Can Say.I Wouldn't Reccomand You Guys To Upgrade Upto ICS,If Your Having No Issues
As You Can Watch Movies Even Without ICS Movie App
Play Songs Without So Called ICS Walkman Music App
Browse Pictures Well In GB Gallery, By Taking The Open Soruce Android Market Wide Range Of Gallerys Are Present
But Also I Wouldn't Discourage You To Roll Back To GB, If You've Dropped into ICS Dimention
Just One Loyal Statement Is, 'Oh! Sony Please Make A Bug Fix Update, Or Confirm Jelly Bean As Soon You Can'
(Not Taking Half Of The Year To Roll Out)
Thats All The Talk
Any Other Pros. Cons. And Issues And Even Solution If You Came Accross
Posting Under Is Welcome:laugh:
!!!Hit Thanks If This Hepls You!!!
Hmmm!!!

Before I start, you should know one thing, when writing pros and cons, never be as subjective and biased as you have been. Most of your issues are totally device related and while some are, they can easily be fixed rather than whining about.
I don't know how you have a Laggy UI but ICS on my S runs smoother than my dad's S3. So make sure you do a full reset even if it is painful and most of the times, it's bad apps that are solely responsible. So try things before you reach a conclusion. For all I know, a percentage of people have it and NOT ALL so it is definitely device dependant.
Gallery works great for me, get burst shot mode using Camera ZoomFX, use different power Saver app from Play Store. There are loads. Benchmarks dropped! Are you kidding me? Did you check figures or played an actual game to understand that? Battery Backup is easy 1day+ with WiFi or 3G on the whole time. No stutter for me despite using Chrome in the background. Low RAM is your mental state and 200MB of RAM is good enough for every app. Haven't faced a low RAM issue yet
Only Bluetooth Audio, low WiFi signal and a few more are true issues rest there is nothing else. Next time, PLEASE READ facts before you become judgemental and tell people not to upgrade to something better only because you didn't try hard enough

Yes as a4rocks mentioned already, those issues are specific to your device and I have none of the issues that you have mentioned except for the lack of wifi direct.
My phone is now smoother than on GB with ZERO lag.
Thanks for summarizing this. This is useful for people like me who are still debating whether to take the plunge.
btw, any updates on the camera quality after the upgrade?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
the only issue i had was wifi signal dropping, but somehow after a few days it seems a lot better, doesn't cut out at all now, don't know how but it fixed itself!.
no lag at all, very happy with ics upgrade and def wouldn't consider going back to gb
for me the only annoying thing in ICS is the slow launch of some apps specially the "Phone" Application every time i leave the app for more than 5 minutes. it launches slower than GB takes 2-3 seconds to load. its very annoying otherwise everything is good and i am very happy with the upgrade!
I flashed the original firmware that came with my phone yesterday then updated to ICS using SUS + factory reset.
It seems updating using SUS is much better than flashtools,everything is working as it should and the battery is even better.
PS: not rooted only uninstall unneeded apps.

So You Are Saying Ur Not Having Any Issues
Besides As For My Part There Is A Issue Of Wi-Fi Signal Drops Happens To So Many
But Guess What,It Didn't Happen To Me!!!
Actually I've Allocated Worldwide Issues,Not For Solely Mine,
And I've Never Discourage Anyone To Stay In GB
Ok,Now About Your Point,
At First My Nature Is Always Overcoming The Compromises With Essentials
Not Whinning,But These Are Extremely Problematic
Now If Its Possible I'll Prove You With A GB vs ICS Xperia Video
That How Lag Occurs
I've Played Mass Effect Infiltration And Found Lag
Music Player Is Awsome
But When There Should Be Unstoppable Plying In Shuffle Mode (Had This In GB)
It Stops After One Or Two Songs
Ok I Really Like To Use Power Saver App Coz It Has A Suitable Widget
And Now
Power Saver Mode Malfuntions When Its Killed By ICS Task Killer
And Two Both Saver (Low Battery Saver & Time Saver Does not Work Simultaneously)
You Are Saying Pinch In Homescreen To Float Widget Is Not Laggy????
Well I Use 12 Widgets Which Coz Lags,But In GB It Was Fine...With All Those 12 Widgets
And really Annoying Is Phone Dialer App Take 3-4 Sec To Load
Yse Battery Backup Is OK For Me
And As For Camera I Use Procapure,Camera 360,360 Panaroma,Paper Camera,Fast Burst Mode...etc
I KnewSony Wouldn't Add Finctionality in Camera,But I Said Before,Its Not Mine,Its All Over Problem...
Thank You For Your Concern,If You Can Upload An Only Home Screen Video To Prove Its Smooth Specially With 12 Widgets!!!
Umm, see here's the thing, most of the issues are quite easily solvable. There are some issues which have irked me and chief among them is Loss of camera features just to put the Sony camera which I did not like one bit. But then most of the issues aren't really there. Its actually quite unbelievable for see to even imagine ICS lagging considering how it runs in mine. And I have 15 widgets and am a total widget hungry guy and 2 of them are Sony weather widgets but no lag and I am talking stock CH firmware. Apologies but my bandwidth in India is absolutely ridiculous so it will take almost a day to upload a video and I just can't get enough of it but I really want to. Phone dialer app open is 2-3 seconds for me and could be faster. Will move to a custom ROM for that. Power saver app is just stupid and the first thing I did after rooting was to remove it. Do try alternate power saving applications. Much more worth it. Trust me, the widget is neither gimmicky nor nice. Regarding games, I don't really play high graphics dependent games but despite underclocking my processor, I get smooth games and love every bit of it. I was just saying because some parts of your thread is misleading especially for new members. Edit it accordingly and you can remove Laggy UI and bits like these which is a small population's problem. Lets share the bigger problems.

How about the quicklaunch function (on ICS)?.. I mean is the launch and capture feature working flawlessly for you? I have tried three ICS roms so far with full wipe/clean install including my own region ICS rom but i have buggy quicklaunch functioning in all of them. It doesn't work sometimes, say twice out of 10 trials!
Apart from that, i have no issues with ICS so far, which is faster/smoother, except few minor bugs like in the timer app. Battery life is almost the same as .76 GB. I do notice occaisonal lags/ FC on selecting no background apps (developer options) though, solved by reverting back to standard limit.

Ok I got you
Thank you for advice,i was looking for some solution
Ok let me tell you how I updated my device
1)copied all my vid aud files in pc
2) from settings formatted the internal storage
3) updated with PCC from .75 GB
So flashing CH doesn't void guarantee?sorry I don't know much about Flashing
And I must say,
Pinching in homescreen to Float Widget is laggy even from GB
And I really thought it would fix in ICS
So I'll show I video as soon as possible
Well I had no offence pal.
And well in other blogs and post people are going crazy with lags

I know man, don't worry. I may have been harsh myself too and apologies for it. But fact is the problems are rectifiable. I don't think you would like to unlock your bootloader (which most probably MIGHT not void warranty but gives you awesome stuff) but if you do, it would be the best thing, whatever small lags that are there totally goes away with a custom ROM like KA Xperia SSpeed. But Flashtool doesn't void warranty and you can try and flash another region's firmware to check if it could improve. Do a full wipe and start afresh. Would give you the best experience. No need for a video, I understand what you are trying to say and it might happen. But this is more device and config dependent then the ICS update as a whole
@Anime13
I too had buggy fast capture when I was on Swiss ICS firmware without factory reset. But a few days back I flashed Indian ICS firmware after a factory reset and now my phone works perfect. Fast capture works as good as GB now. Works every single time.
On ICS you cant change the incoming call notification and the sms/email notification tone volumes independantly. I'm fairly certain you could change these settings independantly under GB. Can anyone still on GB confirm this?

Yeah at first i thought so, but then when i flashed back to GB .76 the camera button (quicklaunch) works perfectly. Played with it about 40-50 times without fail! A couple of guys also have confirmed this problem on the ICS thread, so i guess it might be ICS problem.. but if you say yours is working fine, it makes me wonder whether i should try the SUS update for myself !
Just noticed the notification LED doesn't blink with new emails/sms/missed call. Apparently known Sony bug, is it working for anyone?
hi experts!
i be real confused!
i very like sony xperia p ... it have hdmi & usb on the go & 4 inch manitor & good cpu & real good gpu ....

is there any one that have this phone and tell me how it work in HD games ?
have it any lag in browser? this lag will be improve in android 4... this ture??????
i very love this phone but i Fear!
Hello,
I recently bought an Xperia P. I'm pretty satisfied. The performance is super and you have naver seen such a bright display. The battery drain is pretty high, but I'm used to that from my mini - although I think it has a lower drain than the mini.
The Camera is good, but I expected it to be better. I didn't take many pictures until now, but I would say that it's just slightly better than my 5MP cam from the mini.
Browsing with Firefox is pretty fast.
When the official ICS is out, FXP and AOKP are going to support it!!!
Overall I just love my Xperia P and don't regret my decision.

Xperia P gaming :- https://www.youtube.com/user/RonTechGames/videos
Xperia P photos:- http://t.co/mVcQqk3T [You will need to be signed into facebook to see this album]
Trust me if you got the settings right the battery easily lasts for a full day with constant connection of mobile data & using WiFI whenever available.
After ICS the score of the device & it's performance will also improve. GB is not completely optimized for dual cores where as ICS is so just wait & watch.
Xperia U has a very limited memory while the P has 2 GB for Applications & 11.26 GB as internal storage which comes in total as 13GB. This total available user memory will also improve with ICS. I own this phone for two months & I am completely satisfied with it as I for me it is not causing any problems.
If you have any further queries then post here.

I am still at 42%
My mobile connection is always on with autosync on except in night with the Sony power saver app.
Got GPS disabled as google maps detect my location without GPS too through network. Use Bluetooth rarely. I set brightness to 0% as soon as I enter my home & back to auto when I leave. [ There is a widget available for this ]
I have my WiFi connected occasionally. I do not use a live wallpaper. [ It will drain your battery a bit more ]
I have avast antivirus, antitheft, whatsapp, viber, tango always running in the background & sometimes Skype. Weather update automatic 1 hour. Have disabled facebook feed retrieval interval as I can easily see whenever I open the app. Though it's notifications are always on with messenger too.
I use internet VoIP services average 4 times for call in whole day of average 5 minutes duration. [ Different service as required ]

I have turned off the data backup in the privacy settings as it consumed quite a bit of battery & I have my contacts & calendar all safe with autosync & use PC companion for settings backup. In autosync I have my two gmail accounts synced & others have been kept off as it is not necessary.
Earlier I used to worry about battery calibration & percentage a lot but Iearned that the apps that measured it used to eat much battery & I also a read a post here on Xda about modern batteries. It don't remember it's link. Sometimes we think that battery is not charging or it dropped to quickly. Just give it 5 minutes & it will change the percentage to it's true level. This happens due to the room temperature you are in. It stops charging after a certain level even if it is not 100% as set by the manufacturer.
So basically just forget about the battery percentage & whenever you get a chance charge your phone & enjoy your smartphone. Moreover our device got speed charging so it charges superfast when charged via EP850 charger. If you were not supplied that then try getting one.
Can you post a screenshopt from the percentages under your battery graph ? I want to see how much is the "DISPLAY" and how long is it open in these 14 hours

This is my first thread, so please contact me if I have done something wrong
Main criterias that need work
-Sound loudness
-Ram management
-Performance
-Battery life
-Gaming
Better speaker volume
One of the biggest problem of cm11 based roms is the ow speaker volume. This can be Overcome by using VIPER4ANDROID
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
It improves sound loudness by a great deal. TRY IT YOURSELF!!!!! Tick xloud down in settings and see the miracle happen:good::good:{Install app drivers properly and use methods as mentioned in app thread}
Performance
-Use interactive governor as it gives the best performance. Use performance in settings to do so or downloada 3rd party app from play store. For eg No-frills cpu control { Dont forget to apply set on boot.}
-DONT ENABLE AUTO BRIGHTNESS. It locks frequency at max.
-Dont use ART. It is just negligibly faster but can cause problems with certain apps
-If you are facing,strange problems that are other are not facing, flash stock ics ftf file in flashmode using flashtool and then flash the rom's kernel in fastboot mode and install the rom
Ram management
Try fly-on mod if it suits you [did suit me, I run whatsapp, VIER4ANDROID, HD widgets, Google Search, launcher, all without any of them redrawing

[According to me, its better than supercharger especially for our device as fly on mod is optimized for 512mb devices, I even got random reboots with supercharger, so use fly on mod]{yes, they do exactly the same thing}
-Download memory manager from play store and set the values as follows
8,10,20,24,26,28
Dont forget to tick apply on boot
-According to me, dont use any task killers and similar 3rd party apps
- I dont even use KSM or purging or assets[you may if you like to
-Greenify Ram hungry apps such as whatsapp and facebook
-Download any root explorer and then go to build.prop in system
Then search for ro.config.low_ram=false and change from false to true
though this will cause to transperant notificatin disappear, believe me, it will help a lot
Better Battery Life
-If you want battery life, use conservative or lionheart as cpu governor
-Follow certain simple techniques such as
1 Switch off wifi and mobile network when not in use
2 Use 2g network whenever possible over 3g
3 Switch off bluetooth or NFC when not in use
-Use BETTERBATTERYSTATS from play store to know whats using your battery
-use Wakelock Detector from play store to know which apps are waking up your device
-Geenifying apps saves battery life even
-Sometimes happens is due to frequent changes of roms, battery gets uncaliberated and shows wrong stats. Follow these steps
1 Charge your phone overnight
2 Use the whole battery the next day and then again charge battery from 0-100%
-Airplane mode- use airplane mode during night, it will save overnight battery drain
-Turn off auto sync and location, it will save both battery and RAM
-Use Juice Defender from play store{It isnt just a placebo, it really works}
-Refer to this guide for detailed info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969741
Better gaming performance
-Reduce game graphics to improve performance
1 Download and install xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
2 Download and install app settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437377
3 In app settings, choose the game you wanna play.
4 Reduce the resolution to lowest
5 Reduce density from 240 to 150 and save the settings and reboot
By this you will get lower graphics but smooth gaming experience, especially on heavy 3d games
-Fly on mod will also help
-Use xbooster and set gaming mode
-Set ondemand as cpu governor and row as io scheduler
-Use airplane mode while playing offline games, it will stop internet services like location, syncing etc and clear ram as well as cpu performance
Using these tricks your gaming performance will increase significantly
By following these easy steps, we can make our Kit Kat roms fit for daily use

Yeah, but still I always calibrate my battery when I installed a new rom. IDK, I want to believe that it makes my battery life longer haha.

Thanks bro, I was bored with the sound issue... but calibrate battery helps, because sometimes my phone gets crazy and power off with no charge, then I just turn it on and there's almost 50% of battery!

Nice thread
Thanks information is very useful :cyclops:
Some notes.
V4A is not compatible with walkman. (If you have it and its libs installed it won't work. )
Auto brightness doesn't lock my frequency at max. Probably ROM specific. (i use Weekly 4 cm 11 xperia p)
Flashing stock should not make a difference as entire /system partition is wiped on flashing.
Other than that all is good. (Wipe battery stats will have negligible effects and only when there ate major changes (like power hal) in ROM and you flash without wiping data. )

Thanks for the solutions! But I 've got some questions:
1. interactive governor - is it really the best one? If so, why it's not set as default?
2. You advise to not use ART...but what exactly it is (and where it is)?
Cheers!

According to me interactive and smartassv2 an interactive are the best ones. It is not default probably because of battery
About ART http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-art-of-android/
It is present in developer options in settings

Honestly I don't see nearly any difference in speaker loudness using Viper4Android. Of course, sound quality and volume are much better on headset. But it doesn't change too much with speaker problem.

Have you intalled the drivers properly??????
you have to install busybox from playstore, it is a very imp step. And also click xloud from down in the settings and set the effect to maximum

Thank you for the answer.
If xloud is the last option in menu, yes I ticked it (sorry but in my native language that option was traslated and isn't even little similar to xloud now)
Of course I have installed drivers properly because as I said before there is huge difference on headset quality. But the difference on speaker is barely 'noticeable'...
I did not find any xloud option. Is it extra loud ?

When I run flashtool (CM11) I can see something like this:
BusyBox v1.21.1-kk bionic (2013-11-24 11:52 +0100) multi-call binary
Isn't it enough? What is the reason to install busybox from Google Play Store?
@pentoza
Not every one connects their cm 11 phone to flashtool. No point. And for updating busybox its better to use play store
@chetan_p
Well I tried all of that. Never worked. Gave up eventually. On stock .100 (xp) the driver never installed.

Official Build: http://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-20.html
Note:
Based on 5.0.2
Installation takes long time.
For me (in CWM Recovery), ROM flashing took about 9 minutes and than the 1st boot took 8 minutes so be patient.
Do no flash GApps without 1st boot, it will give FC if you do so.
For root you have to flash SuperSU zip on your own.
Includes Normal (or named as powersave) and Performance mode sticking max frequency at 1.9 GHz and 2.3 GHz respectively.
Doesn't change Wi-Fi MAC address like other custom ROMs, if that matters.
Doesn't have dedicated WCDMA only mode, and resets automatically to preferred if you set in testing after reboot as in general ROMs
How battery life , performance?
any bugs?

Well battery life seems fine. I can't comment on battery life of any ROM, I can't notice difference in battery life matter at all.
Performance seems OK, not very snappy but is good.
But I believe I will flash some other ROM now as only this ROM is one which is giving problem with playing Vainglory. Touching the screen scrolls down notification little bit most times in the app (not anywhere else but the specific game I olay)
ROM is fine not very highly intuitive or something just normal. Has inbuilt different immersed bar. And iOS like smart touch little white button.
Has themes available too.
Bugs idk didn't come across except I mentioned already.
ROM is usable for daily use, test yourself.
And do get rid of stock keyboard, it doesn't write letters despite getting tapped

Battery backup
It's an awesome rom. Very smooth. ROM gave me 2.5-3 hours of SOT (From 100%-0%) as I'm a heavy user and was watching FIFA World Cup online. For nominal use you could squeeze upto 4 hours of battery i think.
Two things i missed one the volume panel shortcut in quick settings (my volume buttons have gone bad) two the hardware key customization.
Thanks for the ROM. Keep up dev.
This ROM have the personalization of Android P in the notifications?
