​FEEDBACK ZONE
"It's simply a brilliant ROM. Another masterpiece. Flashed 3.0 early in the morning. I came from another really good ROM but you topped it nevertheless. Don't know, how you do this. But that's not important as long as I can participate.",

"This ROM is just supernova and blazing fast, just 10.000 galaxys better than other ROMs, and I tried every ROM, keep it up bro with this amazing ROM "
Pandemic Recognized Contributor
"One word to describe this Rom = Legennnndary!!"
XtremeSilencer
"Came back to ICS after switching between JB and GB for months. I must say that this rom is a beast in terms of performance. Ultimate HD 2.0.3 was good but 3.0.2 is simply amazing. I've been on this rom for 4 days now and there's still no decrease in performance. I dun know about others but i usually get 185+ free ram which is not bad for multitasking and gaming at all. And yeah HD games like RR3, NFS MW, Amazing Spidey, Sims Freeplay works amazingly well.
Can't expect more from a device with 2 years old Hardware.
Thanks for this Amazing Rom."
"Thats the only ICS Rom where gaming is awesome
Greater than GB Jader
your work is not good....your work is more than awesome
Looking forward to your next version "

"Simply the best rom for neo v. I've used xperia ice bean, ice cream pureness, cm9... all good, but no match for this rom. It runs like a dream. I don't have any lag while playing HD-Games (nova 3, nfs mw, batman etc..)"

Tips & Tricks
Kernel:
[HIGHLIGHT]WARNING: IF USE VENEGANCE KERNEL, DON'T REPORT PROBLEMS![/HIGHLIGHT]
Use Lupus or advanced stock in Combination with this ROM :good::cyclops:
If AROMA is half on screen, use volume up and down to navigate. Its not a bug of my ROM.
Reserved....
Tips:
Your Phone charges in CWM (when connected to a charger)
logcats can be taken by "adb logcat" or with logcat app
Overclocking is dangerous & bad for battery life
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+.When low on ram/phone starts to lag use Adrenaline boost.Open terminal emulator.Type Su and press enter.Give super user permission.Now type boost and press enter.It will boost your ram up.Also reboot your phone at least a day to get rid of the lag,this is mainly due to the way android system makes cache
Also use System panel light to end unused tasks to clear ram
Full wipe is absolutely recommended ​
+.Max Payne
+.NOVA 3 - Smooth, minimal lag
+.Temple Run - Smooth, lag-free
+.TR Brave - Smooth, minimal lag (app issue)
+.Tap Tap Revenge 4 - Ocassional miss input otherwise smooth, lag-free
+.Oscura - Detects fake input causes game unplayable (every ICS ROM tested), lag-free
+.Magic Piano - Smooth, Lag-free
+.Fruit Ninja - Smooth, Lag-free
+.Amazing Spider man
+.Batman The Dark Knight Rises (works really well,nice game)
test and post in the thread pls,I will update the list
This list doesn't mean that others won't work,just not tested yet !

Xperia Ice Cream Pureness Build 14
Build 14 is kinda unfinished,but that doesn't means its not stable for daily use or anything like that.This build is the most stable build & was using on my older Neo V for more than a month without any complains =) It's just that I do not have any more free time left for to finish this build fully or anything I started in xda tbh =(
And this is not because of the S3 I got,its bcos over the last month so much has changed and I guess life just happened Also this means every project I started in xda will be on pause indefinitely at least for around 8-9 months =(

Great! I will try the rom now on my ARC S!
Dudeeeeeeeeeeee
AWEEESOMEEEE SCREEENS!
I fell in love with it The moment I saw the Screens!
I'm downloading it right now and will update you with more games and kernel which give a good battery backup.
The Difference between Arc & Arc S
It's mainly that Arc S has a 1.4 GHz CPU whereas Arc has only a 1GHz.
And the touch init.d file is different of the 2 i guess.
really nice presentation...!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
The rom seems to be great, but the scrolling between the menus is difficult, and the System lags. Please try to fix it.

This is a ROM I built with dsixda's Android Kitchen for myself. Having tried several ROM's and MOD's I decided to just cook my own ROM with the mods and tweaks I like best. I figured others might like it too so here it is. It's geared towards my brothers and sisters with locked bootloaders: CWM for locked bootloaders and rebootfix are already built in, so no need to flash them afterwards (and can't forget, which has happened to me on more than one occasion :silly: )

Old versions
It's based on the 7.0.A.3.223 for XPERIA T (FTF file Central Europe) posted by Jozinek which I previously rooted & deodexed.
Features
ROOT (Chainsfire SuperSU & BusyBox 1.20.2)
DEODEXED
Bloatware removed (Sony Select, enchanted whatever, etc.)
Some stock annoyances removed (e.g. unplug charger reminder, anonymous usage stats)
Couple of apps I don't consider bloatware but don't use that others might moved to /data/app for easy removal (e.g. Facebook, Google+)
Updated a few apps (e.g. Play Store, Gmail)
James Bond Skyfall theme
build.prop tweaks
Stock launcher & Modified Xperia Launcher by ra3al
14 status bar toggles, port by peetr_ with eryen's white icons with blue indicator
Reduced size onscreen buttons (36x24) by recoba23
init.d support based on the works of DooMLorD and Ryuinferno
Mobile Bravia Engine 2, courtesy of Till-Kruspe
CWM for locked bootloaders and Rebootfix integrated , credits to Sharaz22 and davidmarco
Full list of APN's included from CyanogenMod's github, so no need to download or enter manually
Brushed Metal Theme by BanorBhai/ARNOB
4.1.2 Offical Xperia T Sony Keyboard by gregbradley
Xperia Z Wallpapers thanks to ThilinaC
Bootanimation from 4.1.2 leak, slightly modified. Thanks to DooMLorD for the leak.
Basic flashing instructions
1. Flash stock .303 FTF from the All-in-One thread with flashtool(TL users: exclude baseband!)(*)
2. Root with Bin4ry's method(*)
3. install CWM for locked bootloaders.(*)
4. Make a backup with nandroid and/or titanium backup.
5. Go to recovery and Flash ROM.
6. Locked bootloader: On reboot it will ask: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. fix?", choose "No".
7. Flash .223 stock kernel with flashtool. TX users should use a TX kernel!
8. Enjoy
(*) skip these steps if you're already on a custom .195 with CWM recovery or unlocked bootlader.
All the usual blah blah about bricking your device applies. It works fine on my phone so it should work on yours.

It's not so dumb, yes you can.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
Thanks man, will try it
It hasn't been tested but I guess it should. Don't know if the CWM for locked bootloaders or reboot-fix might screw with anything. Just backup and try it. Please let me know. Maybe I'll fix an unlocked bootloader version later tonight.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
I will test too if I get time, but if on an unlocked boatloader just skip the steps and (after backup) full wipe, make sure you are on a 195 kernel and install Rom with cwm, should be fine!!
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
Well it actually works, i just denied the recovery installation that comes with the rom from my current CMW and it boots without a problem.
Still testing, but so far so good
PS: I'm looking for a battery mod for this ROM's status bar, I'd really like to have a circular battery, please help me out.
THe mod I've tested works but makes the small apps on multitasking disappear.
Great job!!
Smooth and fast had no issues so far, and glad it auto detects my network settings so no need to manually put in apn's

The question of the recovery installation actually has nothing to do with the recovery but with a script that's used in the init.d implementation.
Did you tell it to "Yes, fix it" or said "NO"? If you pressed yes, can you tell me if init.d still works? You should find a file Test.log in /data (can take one or two reboots before it shows up)
I quite like the stock battery but am not opposed to a nice looking circular one. If you're referring to this mod, then the problem of the small apps disappearing is most likely due to it screwing up the SystemUI.apk. Maybe one of the guys here working on the 14 toggles mod can look into it (saw you already opened a request thread).
I've uploaded a version of the ROM without CWM for unlocked bootloaders. Also added Flash Player which I actually had planned for a next version but seeing as I was building anyway...

Good to hear. I found a pretty complete apns-conf.xml file that has APN's from all over the world, so should be good for most people.

Well actually the test.log on /data says that init.d works
still testing, and liking it :good:
Confirming that my TL is now running XperimenT. Process was simple considering I did a few things differently. Once I have/confirm LTE, I'll confirm how well things are running!
Enjoying the semi-freedom of the TL now - so far, no issues!
awesome rom
Please make a version for TX
Excellent work I mean ROM, with low usage the battery can last up to 2 days but in normal-high usage it manages to give a full day of battery, Using advanced stock kernel on MSM-DCVS Governor and Noop I/O.
Indeed it is really smooth, I replaced xperia launcher with apex. Everything works and goes smoothly Antutu gave me 10856, and Quadrant 5849. (a little more with ondemand and CFQ I/O).
So far so good, by now I'm sticking with this ROM for a long while.
I would really like to see the battery mod i've been requesting and some more tweaking but nonetheless thanks TiMiN8R

I'll look into it once I have some time. Need to figure out exactly what needs to be changed for it to work on TX.

Glad you like it. Pretty pleased with battery consumption myself, even with just stock kernel. Battery is now at 72%, after 13 hrs, with 1,5 hrs of screen on.
I'm working on the battery mod, hopefully have it ready in the weekend.
This rom needs a banner
I was thinking that this rom needs a banner so we who like it can let people know what we're sporting on our devices I'm not that good at pic editing or making html but here's something I came up with and it's yours so use it if you like or at least to spark an idea. Once again great rom much appreciated.

First of all, I NEVER claims that I am a developer, I am just an advanced user and also a XDA Recognized Themer. If you wonder who I am, have a look on what I had done in past..
Xperia Arc is my second (spare) phone, my works are mainly focused on HTC Sensation. As a themer, I love to mod my phone to becomes unique and different with those generic phone. So here I present to you all my own themed ROM for Xperia Arc / Arc S. This is not just a THEMED STOCK ROM, thanks to all modders here I am able to combine all the goodness of their respective mods and hence produce this ROM.
This is a daily ROM for my own Xperia Arc and I can say that it is stable enough for me to share with you guys, if you found any bugs feel free to inform me but PLEASE be appropriate and do not flame other members here, XDA is a peace community..

2. Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Media Storage > Clear Data
3. Wait for 5-10 minutes so that media scanner can scan the whole SD Card, there might be a corrupt entry of any music file which is preventing Walkman from functioning properly
Cybershot 3D Camera FC
- Change another kernel like Vengeance
ROM is very laggy and slow

- "Windows animation scale" & "Transition animation scale" set to .5x
- Install Script Manager > Open the app and navigate to /system/xbin > Run flush script (Remember to click the SU button)
What is the best kernel to use with this ROM?
Every user use their phone differently, some are heavy user who love to push their phone to the limit, and some are just normal user who use their phone for calling and messaging only.
Every different kernel fulfill different conditions for different kind of users, so I will not give you suggestion for the "BEST" kernel, personally I am using Rush Kernel for my Xperia Arc and it works perfectly without any problems, but my suggestion for you would be "TRY and FIND OUT by your own"..
Will this ROM better than XXX ROM?
NEVER compare ROMs, it is a kind of disrespectful to the ROM creator. If you want to know which is better, try it yourself.
How to install OTA update?
1. Settings > Viper Xperia Advanced Settings > System updates
2. Under UPDATES, if there is an update available then you will be notified
3. Download the updates, after "Download Finished" was shown, reboot to Recovery
4. In Recovery, Install Zip from sdcard --> Choose Zip from sdcard ---> sdcard/OTA-Updater/ViperXperia_OTA_Vx.x.zip
5. Reboot and done
WiFi doesn't work after ROM install
Reflash Wifi modules downloaded from the kernel thread
The ROM is not rooted after updates
Download SuperSU binary installer (UPDATE-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip) HERE then flash it in Recovery
xLoud™, Clear Audio™ and Sound Enhancement didn't work
Change another kernel, some kernel has some issue with this, Rush kernel works fine
Google Play Store didn't show purchased apps
Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Google Play Store > Clear data
Google Play Store unable to update apps with error
Remove your Google account > reboot > then sign in again to your account
I Installed Xperia Z Home with 4x5 drawer but it's still 4x4
Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Xperia Home > Clear data
Installed apps are missing in drawer for Xperia Z Home 4x4
Go to Settings > Apps > "ALL" tab > Xperia Home > Clear data
Can this ROM install on locked bootloader?
Yes
Can this ROM install on XXX device?
This is for Xperia Arc,Arc S, Neo, Neo V, Pro & Ray ONLY
What is the Antutu/ benchmark score of this ROM?
I NEVER use Antutu or any other benchmark tools to determine the performance. Benchmark score can easily get cheated by overclocking, increasing memory read ahead or using different IO scheduler. I use my OWN observation to determine and experience how fast is the ROM.. remember BENCHMARK SCORE IS NOT EVERYTHING!!
How much free RAM in this ROM?
160MB and above, depends on how much background process are running, your Minfree setting and any task killer app installed. If you need more RAM, remove Xperia Home and install other launcher from Play Store, or just change you ROM to those BORING AOSP BASED ROM WITHOUT ANY MODIFICATION & MODS
Can I port this ROM or Advanced Settings to XXX device/ ROM?
Ask me by PM first before you trying to do so..
Can you add/remove XXX mods/themes into this ROM?
Well, I love suggestion but I hate request. The main objectives of my ROM is to give user the best experience with their phone in terms of graphic UI and also performance, there must be reason behind why I include or does not include XXX mods/themes into this ROM.
Changing lock screen wallpaper
Go to Settings > Display > Lockscreen settings > Wallpaper to set lockscreen wallpaper
MyXperia FC when I open it first time
MyXperia will FC 2 times:
- When first time clicking "Accept"
- Second time after the first FC occur
- Starting from third time it will no more FC
To prevent MyXperia FC on every reboot, turn it off in Settings > Xperia > MyXperia

Personally I'm using Rush kernel, but different user may have different experience with those kernels out there, so my suggestion will be TRY AND FIND OUT BY YOUR OWN..
This ROM looks promising. Will try and share feedback.
Also let me know if I can flash EAGLEBOY Ultimate HD MOD 2.3 with this ROM (I kinda like the UI of that MOD .. in LOVE with it)
Good Job!
How much is the Free RAM
Looks nice. I'll try this on my arc, not really done anything with it since I got my HOX. I'd say feedback soon but just changed my broadband provider so getting about 1mps at the moment, so feedback...later

Why need to compare free RAM when it is already fast enough? alright it's approximately 150MB
Alright I forgot something.. in V1.0 you won't find those Adanced settings like Dolby Mobile and Power Saver.. they will be available when V1.1 comes out, it will be an OTA update for V1.1 to test out my OTA service.. ETA? One or two days..
Installing now, will report back, just one question, because I am using Serene Kernel and you didn't included modules for that kernel, I can flash modules for WiFi on top of it right?
what about gaming ??
like Temple Run 2
any lag
Download Music Info doesn't work on my officialy unlocked BL. But very good rom ! thx !

General Feedback:
I tested the rom now few hours and i can say its really the best rom out there for arc s !
its faster than Racing Bean 3.1 !
The battery life is awesome and the UI looks very beautyfull.
One of the best thinks are you can choose what you personally like on aroma installer.
If you like Xperia style you can select xperia or if you like aosp you can select aosp or a xperia/aosp mix!
You have many options that you can choose!
Thanks to Headfox for this awsome ROM !
Performance:
The performance is one of the best thinks in Headfox's racing bean!
You can play much 3D games like Modern Combat 4 or Templerun 2 without laggs!
You can not tell me that you know a faster ROM for arc s!
with the awesome fluid engine your ui is very fast and without any laggs.
Battery:
If your CPU settings like this:
Min.: 364 Mhz
Max.: 1017 Mhz
and powersave than you have the best mix of performance and battery life!
Test it yourself and you will see the life is very good!

Hey I found the cause of the bootloop - XLoud
I reinstalled the ROM unticking the XLoud option, now I have sucessfully booted.
The ROM feels snappy! Very smooth UI. I will test gaming later.
Also, could you please change the background of the menus to pure black in next version or could you give me a patch please?

Oh, i got it. Btw, can you improve the quality of pictures taken by Camera? Their quality are far behind than these from Holo mod by Jader or Cybershot mod.
Where's xLoud located ? I can't find it in Sound settings
Oh and the screen wake is a little bit slow, even though everything else is smooth, can you tell me why ?

- Settings -> Xperia™ Connectivity -> USB computer connection -> Mass Storage
How to disable small apps ??
- Freeze/disable 'Small App Launcher' then restart phone (or just restart SystemUI)
Your ROM is faster than NOS !! But some other 4.2.2 ROMs are faster ??
- Nah, don't ever try to compare this one's performance with it's 4.2.2 brothers.
Why ?? I think u already know, this rom is half CM10.1 and half SONY 4.3 fw.
All SONY 4.3 fw are made for it's HIGH END devices that basically not our device, so they're very hungry in resources.
I HAVE and I WILL do my best to handle the performance degradation of using SONY's fw.
So don't complain to me IF you found this rom has worse performance than other 4.2.2 roms, complain to SONY instead..

-edit music info works but it gets a security error and can t download music info..but you can edit music album photo manually on a sd card folder if you want..that is working.
-cant seem to restore my apps with titanium backup.
-message cant see cause its all white,but no problem,just go to message settings and choose different colors,bubble style etc..
-display its small,but no problem also,just go to your build.prop and change LCD density to 240.save and reboot.
-for better performance use cm10.1 darkraven kernel (its alternative kernel mentioned by OP)
-navigation bar buttons are big, and they are ON on landscape mode,maybe a fixed version with 24DPI and 0 landscape better.(i have fixed that for me)
good theming accent changes,looks very nice, incall is transparent (thanks always better than full black), free ram is between 140-160 (use greenify if not you will get between 80-100 if you install many apps). its a great sony experience if you like that,with all sony apps working great,only security errors may appear,cause we dont have support for some features. some screenshots and video review later after more tests.
Please, make it available for RAY , too.
Thanks in advance.
nice and beautiful rom,
just flashed it everything seems ok for now :good:
