Okey

My advice is no if you are a newbie. Overclocking surely sounds sweet but can damage your phone's components beyond repair. Unlocking bootloader voids your warranty too.

Even charging your SE with unofficial charger can void ur warranty, lol..

Can I flash Xperia Play ROMs on neo v?

My friend liked my pac man rom and another kernel, hardware of both phones is almost the same, can he just flash kernel and rom or he can't because something is different?

The Xperia Neo L can do this because of having identical hardware. (Camera is up side down)
I don't know similarities of Neo V
Yeah i know thats why im asking if it would be possible with neo v. On the other hand where i can find neo l board? Cos i cant find it...

Seems both phones have the Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon board both with Adreno205 and 512 Ram and 376 Rom (If I remember right)
They have identical specs for the vital parts so it is worth a try,
Anyway I recommend you Slimbean by CJ360 (Gave me the smoothest JB Experience - With 210 Ram which was a record for me)
Yea well you can be the tester for people also wanting to do this but make sure you get the same radio as your phone

Something you have installed will be draining battery, not the rom.
How bad is the drain?

I'd say stock has better battery life for me so I'd stay on stock but on the other hand once you start flashing you can't stop. So read up and do it! You can always come back to stock if your not happy. Who needs.

I flashed it already and I can flash-coming from a galaxy s3 I was constantly trying new roms,
Was just trying to get a feel of what I can flash with a locked bootloader
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I was just reading about down gradeing to gingerbread,
Apprently it's better on battery and the camera focus issue seem better?

For me the best rom for locked bootloader is MIUI.
Much more usable and configurable and has best autonomy. With stock or stock based roms I never pass a full day, with miui I can use 1.5 days with the same normal use.
On both roms I use 3g only when need to access the Web and airplane mode when sleeping.

Hi,I was searching google/xda but didn't found any help...
Since JB Update (.200) my fast charge is gone ,it's now 1h since charging and only 12%full, Please does anyone have the same problem?
Thx for any Help

Fast charge is off on stock kernel on all xperia s.
For faste charge unlock bootloader and flash DoomKernel which is fast charge enabled.

Not true.
I have a stock kernel and Rom. My ep 850 charger charges up to 1300 mA. And it always has. Gb, ics and jb. No difference

Can you download kernel tuner from google play and screenshoot the cpu specs.
Maybe there is some clue why is that...you are the only person i know that have fc on JB. You are lucky.

I Updated it to. 211 and it seems it's better now,but it drains my battery fast :/ But when I'm listening music in Walkman the battery life is much longer...I miss the Battery Saver from ICS btw is it clever to buy a not Sony product battery?
