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.

Hello everyone to try this ROM for this magnificent device
Bravo Zero, great, and thanks for sharing it :good:
unfortunately too much bug/problem with tabelt UI.. i think i cant flash it im also with UB..
anyway again thanks :good:
I have some tips for Xposed Framework and apps that is not optimized for lower DPI settings:
Switch the Sony apps like camera, contacts, dialer to 480 DPI (provided that they are the same as in the stock ROM).
I have noticed that the Sony apps works best with that setting, they don't handle multi DPI very well. Other apps is great in tablet mode.
My own settings are those:
Accuweather 240, 1280
Browser 240, 1280
Calendar 240, 1280
Camera FV-5 280, default
Camera 480, default
CamScanner 240, 1280
Earth 240, 1280
File Manager HD 240, 1280
Gmail 240, 1000 x 1600
Play Music 213, 800 x 1280
Play Store 240, 1280
Mizuu 240, 1280
Netflix 240, 1280
QuickPic 240, 1280
QuickOffice 240, 1280
Settings 280, 1280
SoundHound 240, 1280
Tablified Market 240, 1280
YouTube 213, 1280
Contacts, Contacts Import, Phone, Phone contact, Phone/Messaging Storage, Recent Calls 480
I have not tried the 1024 x 600 mode since 1280 gives the proper tablet UI. Those settings are what I use and they work very well but I am on ROMAur 2.6 though. I use similar settings on my Note II and also when I use Paranoid Android.
I can also recommend Tablified Market as a decent way of finding tablet apps. Google Play in tablet mode is also very nice.
Those settings I listed are for the App Settings modul for the Xposed Framework.
@ZeroInfinity
I wanted to try the tablet mode, but i cant download the file "App Settings Module"
Please can you fix it?
thanks
EDIT: now it work

No problem, Thanks anyway for your work :good:
So guys, what do you think about the ROM?
It's still pretty buggy and I was planning on doing a normal, stable XZ ROM, if I do then I'll ditch the idea of this rom...
If you guys want me to release a stable version which does not have tablet mode, I may do an easy OTA update in the next version (And change the name of the rom to something else)

can we have tablet mode only in apps like settings, gmail and maybe youtube while keeping the phoneUI status bar?

yes, you can set any apps per dpi in App Settings Module (In OP) so if I switch back to PhoneUI Mode in the next version, all of you will still be able to choose per app dpi settings
Can't get it over to my sd card :L tried downloading multiple times
EDIT:
Got over on my sdcard but comes with error Can't open

What do you mean?
Are you downloading via pc? it's recommended you download from PC...
I have decided to switch back to PhoneUI with stock 480dpi because it is the optimal dpi for our device + all the other software in the rom
But that doesn't mean you can never have Tablet UI, Xposed Framework with App Settings module will still allow you to modify per app dpi (Like in AOSPA) so you can still do things like that
What do you think guys, should I release OTA over XperienceTabletZ? or upload full rom?

So this ROM will give you the closest experience of what we would get in using Honami. This ROM is perfectly themed like Honami with all the apps from Honami which is available to this date. I will continue talking it more closer to Honami's official firmware with best battery life & performance to the extent that can be given with all these features included.

Thanks for your contribution!
Great work with the new ROM. I would like to ask what ui was used on the video? I installed 2.1 and cant seem to find the ui which has the extended status bar.
Hello,
StatusBar's with AROMA are saved in ==uniQue== directory on Internal storage and SDcard Good luck

Server Androidfilesharing.com is work yet.
Two Thumbs up is not enough.
Congratulation on your new ROM Bro.
The ROM is very fast, stable and absolutely very clean. No wonder your members keep on saying that your working hard for the ROM.
I tried to theme it with the navbar, to pngs but the navbar gave me a lot of headache. I tried reading the smali and men its a different language. =)
Your team really deserve all the credits bro. :good:
Hoping for your team to come up with the latest kit-kat build soon.
Why not honami? What's your problem with honami?

JACS
Honami theme accent color is a great eye-candy, but it's so complicated to port it to other rom especially non-Sony rom
So i try to implement my own accent color system, i'm proudly presents : JACS (JellyVanilla Accent Color System)
A pseudo Honami accent color system made for JellyVanilla builds !!
It's still in beta/development stage, but i hope you like it
TWEAK
Don't ask about it, just FEEL the power of it !!
MISC
ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP !!

I don't responsible of any negative things like boot-looping, bricked device, burned SD card, you late to go to school,
or the next world war caused by the ROM here..
You have been warned !!--------------

Q & A :
Where is Developer Options and Performance settings ??
- Go to Settings -> About phone then press Build number 7 times..
I can't read anything in Messaging app ?!
- Don't be so afraid. Press menu button, select Settings, and you can personalize looks and feel of your Messaging app there
MSC mode ??
- 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:
