Hi. I switched phones from a Samsung Galaxy Ace to a Sony Xperia Pro a year ago (got fed up with the touchscreen keyboard, wanted a real QWERTY keyboard.) I like the phone, but now that the warranty's expired I'd like to try a custom ROM or three, just to play with. Also I'm having battery life issues since upgrading to ICS (It's weird; the first time I upgraded it seemed to be OK, but I had to send the phone in for a warranty repair and they went and reflashed the firmware to Gingerbread on me. I reupgraded to ICS via Sony's PC Companion and now the battery life's terrible- about what it was on my Galaxy Ace.)
What I want is:
Everything working. I don't want to encounter problems such as the camera not zooming via the volume buttons, the front camera not working, keyboard layout problems, no wifi/bluetooth, etc. All hardware needs to work at least as well as when using the stock ROM.
Stability. No, or very few, crashes (nothing is perfect, I know), not a lot of force-closes of apps.
Good power management, even if this means slowing down the CPU clock. I'm willing to sacrifice some performance if that means that I don't have to recharge more than once a day. Also I'd like to be rid of some of the background services that I don't need or want, and that use up some juice. (BTW, my typical phone use is sending and receiving 3 to 4 texts per day, one or two voice calls daily, around 6 to 7 hours of web browsing using wifi, maybe 30 minutes playing solitaire, reading ebooks for an hour or three instead of web surfing, and occasionally using the camera or the flashlight, weather apps, calculator, etc.)
I want to be rid of Sony's bloatware. I don't need it.
I don't really care if the ROM has a lot of eye candy, bells & whistles, etc. or if it's a lot like the stock ROM in look and feel. However, k3wl things would be k3wl, so I'm willing to try them and play a bit.
BTW I'm a newbie when it comes to working with the Xperia. I got pretty good about rooting, modding and changing ROMs on the Ace, but Sony is a whole different ball game than working with Samsungs. So whatever ROM I end up choosing needs to have step-by-step instructions somewhere, with download links to everything I'm going to need.
Please post your ROM recommendations. TIA!
Edit: I've turned off data connections as I only use wifi, I've dimmed the display as low as it will go, I only turn wifi on when I'm actually going to use it and turn it off afterward, I never use GPS, I set it to flight mode at night- basically I've done everything I can think of to conserve power. I used to have around 50% of battery life left when I'd go to bed at around midnight or 1AM when I had Gingerbread, but now I have to stop and recharge at around 9 or 10PM. I start using the phone at around 6PM when my wife gets home as she tends to monopolize the computer- she's taking some online classes, and likes to sing along to YouTube to relieve work stress. So I'm typically on the phone and the web for 6 to 7 hours a day, and need enough excess juice to let the phone run idle all night so the morning's alarms can go off, and also to check the time if I wake up during the night.
There's no power outlet near our bed, so I have to do my recharging during the day (when I can use the computer), and besides, we have a bunch of dogs that might chew up the charger's USB cable- they already destroyed one. So I want to try to get 7 hours of web surfing/ebook reading, plus another 5 or 6 hours of idle/standby time.
BTW, I've looked at many of the ROMs listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642480 but there are so many of them! So I'd appreciate suggestions from people that are familiar with one or some of these ROMs to help me decide which one to use. Cheers!

Question: is that a ROM? It looks like just a collection of apps, unless I'm mistaken. How would they help boost my battery life and get rid of Sony's bloatware? (I'm kind of a newbie.)
nope it's a rom. it's not in the conventional ftf file format because it's a zip that you flash with cwm. It's a rom that's had all bloatware removed and a bunch of tweaks. i'm not very technical but it does actually work
oh and use this app. it clocks down the frequency to lowest when your phone's locked, therefore saving battery

Jelly sandwich is a stock sony ics based custom rom! Without bloatwares from sony! Check out it's thread. It has detailed instructions to install the rom! I also recommend you change your kernel n flash advanced stock kernel to increase your battery life. Speaking from personal experience and based on the daily usage you mentioned i would say you would get around 20 to 22 hrs of battery life!

If you want full functionality (working Cam, working HDMI), here are the top ROMS, which I have tried, that are being developed/maintained/updated:
Xperia Pureness (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Ultimate HD (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Jelly Sandwich (Ice Cream Sandwich)
XGamer (Gingerbread)
I'm currently using Xperia Pureness.. I have XGamer on the other Pro.
Ultimate HD is great too. Check on the thread. The developer's really mature and I think he's cooking a great update to be released soon.
XGamer, being GB, is fast, stable and battery friendly. We're using an old device, we have to admit. The Pro is not as responsive on ICS as it is on GB. So you're probably going to end up with that. Ive read its great with games as well.
Jelly Sandwich is nice, I just don't like how it's presented. Too much hype. Too much bling bling :laugh::laugh::laugh: Once it was even "advertised" by the developer as Android 4.2. But it's a great stable ROM as well, just like the previous ones mentioned.
Anyway, I suggest you try the above four ROMS yourself because at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference. Best of luck :good:

OK, I took a look at Jelly Sandwich but decided it was too confusing for my tiny old brain- there were several 8.0 files, then a bunch of what I guess were updates all the way to 8.5, and I didn't see any "do this, then do this" lead-me-by-the-hand instructions. So I decided to try Ultimate HD. Got my bootloader unlocked, flashed the kernel using Advanced Stock for Xperia Pro. Couldn't get it to boot into CWM recovery, so I ended up nstalling CWM ROM Manager from the Play Store and used it to boot into recovery through that app. Whatever works. Wiped my cache & Dalvik, did a factory reset, rebooted (then had to reinstall CWM ROM Manager again.)
Ultimate HD installed just fine (sweet AROMA installation screens made it easy to set up), then I upgraded online to 2.0.1 and reinstalled all my favorite apps- decided to do fresh installations from Play Store rather than backing up and restoring, just to be sure everything's new.
So far, so good- it's pretty fast and stable, as far as I can tell. I'll play with it for a couple of days and see what my battery life is like. Need to find out what those governors do.
Thanks for the advice!
OK, I've used Ultimate HD over the weekend. I've noticed a few wee glitches- no show-stoppers though. For instance, in Album when viewing a particular picture, I click Throw, and notice that I have no context menu if I press the Menu button. All that's there are Trash, Share and Back icons along the top, which I didn't notice at first. The Back hardware button doesn't function when on this screen, you have to press the soft Back button on the screen. I thought the Album app had locked up.
I had one crash, when trying to load a web page while synching with Google/Gmail. The phone rebooted itself. Only happened once though.
So far, battery life's not that great, but it's better than with Sony's official ICS. I may try out a Gingerbread-based ROM later on down the road and see if that's "leaner and meaner' vis-á-vis battery life. Meanwhile, Ultimate HD is pretty cool, so I'll leave the phone alone for now.

PACMan ROM
I've been running on Mang's Pacman Rom for the pro and its great. Its ALOT smoother than ICS on the pro. Its basically stock jelly bean 4.1.2.
After flashing the given kernel you have cpu clock control, so for battery saving you can decrease that i guess. Battery has been ok so far. And basically everything you need is working. You just need to download ICS camera from google play, as the stock jelly bean one isnt working for now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924719
Note: the cpu is clocked at 1.6ghz when you first boot the rom. you should at least change it back to stock 1ghz, huge difference in battery life.
Should definitely give it a try. you have to google gapps for 4.1.2 if you want to use google now and the other standard google applications.

Can anyone please name the advantages of CM9 installed on our phone?
Currently i use Bagux 1.4 and I've noticed these pros against cm9:
Better battery,
No connectivity problems,
Camera works faster..
CM9 r5
I bought my Galaxy W has 8 days and I am already using the CM9, not sorry ...
Advantages:
1- It is ICS so it has more features and options. CM gives even more customizations to Android
2- It looks way better than stock GB
3- There are many custom kernels!
4- It has more attention from the devs, GB has WAY less attentions now.......
5- The theme option in setting, this means that you can change the colours of the rom just by installing an app
6- You will be upgrading to a rom that has been made by Sir Arco..........Enough said!
Disadvantages:
No FMradio
CM9!
arco68 is very good at it ... CM9 makes! The samsung is so ***** that left us in 2.3.6, but for that there XDA developers! : D: D
Excuse my English, I'm Brazilian.

You can download Spirit Light, it's a FMRadio and it works greater than the original one for what I saw till now.. =)
i would say if you've used stock GB for a long time like me, you will find stock GB's interface to be more simple haha. But learning a new interface is never too hard so this is not much of a pro.
some even speculated that GB roms uses less battery than ICS/JB roms since well u know... GB has not much to offer xD! But I believe with more and more kernels developed within the ICS/JB frameworks, GB will also lose in the battery department.
So in conclusion, GB is outdated and should only be kept for preference purposes. (right now, I'm too lazy to migrate due to all the customization I have to redo and the ICS/JB rom still not finalized yet, yes I'm unreasonably demanding lol)
I've tried a lot of roms. Thought i will stick with CM9, but after experiencing wifi, data problems, battery drain, I've came back to GB Bagux rom, which runs smoothly for me and has no bugs or problems. I always change the interface with custom launchers, so looks of GB isnt an issue, since there is themes for its framework too. I think its better to have more free memory, than to run on the Edge of memory shortage like on CM9. And battery is definately better for example 1d16h on battery and 66% left. (didnt use phone much but still on cm9 it was 2-3% while deepsleep)
We can talk all day bout this topic. But in my opinion it really depends on what type of user you are.
In my case, i use camera a lot at work, i also use fm radio, and plays a lot of 3d games.
It's a mix feeling when you try those different roms. When i flashed CM10 i thought i was never gonna go back to GB.
JB brings new stuff, buttery smooth as they say, and it's the latest Android. But there are still bugs in the camera, and battery life isn't that good yet compared to GB. After using it for more than a month, i decided to try the latest GB update (2.3.6 dated December 2012).
I think i'm gonna stick with GB for the moment. Not until battery life is improved and those glitches in the camera are fixed.
To compensate the feeling of being outdated, i tried different launchers. I mean really different, like launcher 8 which totally mimics the windows phone interface. Looks can be easily achieved whether you are in GB or JB as there are plenty of launchers and customizations out there.
When it comes to performance, i managed to get the best of my current GB rom by carefully managing start ups and disabling apps which i do not really use. It plays all the 3d games i have with no lag at all. I do not overclock my phone, coz it will just eat up more battery.
Overall, i think my current setup is better and just what i need for daily use. It's quick, no bugs, reliable, and the battery can last 2 days with minimal use. So I'm satisfied and happy with it. For now..

if you want to try gb for gaming install the latest euro update XXLMI (december 2012). i think it performs better.
install "autostarts" from market and disable auto starting apps to save memory.
u may want to freeze system apps you don't use also with link2sd. this is what i did basically, without any other tweaks and i'm happy with the result.
same here ,,, im a big fan of link2sd apps,, i used to link all my apps to my 32gb class 10 mmc,,, so that my phone memory never gets full,, whenever new game comes,,,,

I have suspicious that is issue of my phone because people say that for them is ROM lagless. It's interesting because CM9 is nearly lagless but in all GB/ICS stock based ROMs i experince lags with/without overclock. Any ideas what's wrong with my phone?

Yes i have installed apps like Facebook etc. but i'm using greenify (on ICS of course). It's the app that freeze apps like facebook so no RAM eating from them. In GB is different but still with those apps i have about 180 MB RAM free. I deleted AdrenoBooster and performance is little bit better but not good. Mystery is that when i use CM9 based ROMs lags are gone.

Adreno booster is really great think but not for me. Yeah in some apps is really big performance boost but in others there's huge performance downgrade. So i think that for me is better living without AdrenoBooster

The best so far that I stuck on using is Xperia Nxt 1.3 by Kris dee. I've tried lots of ROM and I think this is the most stable yet beautiful. Flexible also because you can install facebook, timescape, twitter, battery widgets, maps, walkman, by your choice. Can't wait to the next update. I have lots of applications that I installed now but still no lag and still 110mb free on phone memory.

that's what i'm saying when i recommend a rom then it's nxt 1.3.
also for me it's the best, stable as stock, all the special features like quick panels and walkman in lockscreen, the "good" clock app from other sony phones (with timer and stop watch). it never let me down and the battery life in combination with the good old doomkernel seems also unbeatable.
used it over 6 months - then i tried a lot of other roms. now i'm back again.

Some custom ROMS are just for your eyes only. Just to tell your friends you got ICS or JB even your phone is 2011 model. The thing with those ROMS is they remove the Sony UI which is I believe the most professional looking UI on androids than Samsung/LG/Moto/Htc. Some ROMS will even remove the functionality of the gaming pad of the xperia play. We bought the PLAY for that reason. For "GAMING" ....

I want to ask, if you could not make a rom (GB) that does not include any feature of cell .. I mean ... applications that do not bring:
messages
calls,
Internet browsers,
Make it Super debloated ..
optimized only for games ..
In itself, that will leave only the extra essential, such as: Google Play, 3G Connectivity, & Image Gallery ..
And so combine this rom kernel to the future cast end by (DiKeJ) and get maximum performance and give our device as a console exclusive use .. (as there are many users - (like me) who have two phones .. in my case a Samsung Galaxy S3, which I use as a phone .. and also a Xperia Play .. which that as console) and I would not mind neglecting these features to increase performance and autonomy of the battery ..
Thanks in advance to all ..

Just search it and it will come up. It is a little old but that doesn't matter as it works great and fits what your looking for. If you want s newer Rom all kg then have phone service as that's what makes the play better then something like a psp it's a phone and gaming device in one so you only carry one device.

As abdel said, nxt gamer 1.2 is a very good choise
Or if you want an updated rom try xElite gamer by PizzaDox, as he's a master when it comes to performance
And lol I'm no developer calling me "developer" would be an insult for those who really develop something (wedgess, CosmiDan, PizzaDox and so many others)
I just mod and improve what I can, so you could call me a "beginner modder"
I would love to work with some other Devs to produce this kinda rom, but tbh I think we should wait till my own xElite Gamer becomes more mature and also wait for DX Perennial,
Removing SemcPhone.apk/Phone functionality will remove 3G connectivity.
At the very least, that will need to remain in the ROM.
Either that, or I misunderstood what your post asked.
Do you want phone capabilities to remain in the ROM, such as MMS, Calls, Texts, 3G... Or do you want them removing? Minus the 3G?
If so - Why would you need the Image browser? Especially if you intend to use a Kernel that has no camera capabilities in order to free as much RAM as possible.
Let me know what you want exactly and I can cut down AuroraPlayLE to whatever level you want... However, like others have said - There are ROMs available already that offer these things to some extent.

Thanks for your attention @ Spizzy_01!! : D
What I would like to, is a console-style rom thought!
No phone functionality ..
I mean .. taking away all phone functions that consume ram, battery & performance .. and leave just enough to play .. (Android Games & Emulator) (and most optimized possible)
With so rom and kernel to the future end (DiKeJ) and GPU overclock patch (2D & 3D Core) We can reach a maximum in our Xplay rendmiento! (It's what I think)
This would be a rom designed for extreme gamers .. and which have 2 devices .. one to play .. and another to communicate and others ..
yekasangredevago, firstly, thanks for mention me - it's good to be respected and I really appreciate that . About some hardcore gaming ROM.....Well....Hell yeah it's coming in my projects, my suggestions is just follow my DiXperia Projects thread in General section of Xperia Play, and follow DX3 dev/discussion thread to see some screenshots etc. of new projects - I hope you've heard about DiXperia Perennial, which is coming soon, and will be ROM for magnificent gaming, just like making device as a console ;]. Unfortunately, this projects needs Premium Account to get it, and more info about this you can find on my DiXperia World website, or just by searching it in my threads over whole XDA. I know it could be like a corruption, but the same situation happening for a long time on X10 section, when tons of ROMs are relasing time by time for all users, and some "special" with higher priority for some use are relased for Premium Users. Searching is your friend, I'm sure you'll find it, if not - contact me .
Cheers, and thanks once again!

Greetings,
I've been around for some time, lurking mostly. And installing a ROM with ICS or JB on my Galaxy W was a wonderful way to innovate. It feels like I'm using a brand new phone, which is awesome.
I have tried Cyanogen mod and Paranoid Android and even the PAC roms. But the issue I run while using them is that my ram seems to be full most of the time, and it's filled with system apps more than my own apps. Which limits the phone seriously. I am almost unable to use Swiftkey for typing online or even messages, since it lags too much the phone.
I plan on keeping a couple of apps like a battery saver, Aviate launcher and occasionally a traffic monitor app like 3g Watchdog.I've been thinking about going back to Gingerbread versions, although new ones seem more enticing with features/apps like Google now.
I'm breaking my question in two parts:
1 - Can a more advanced android version like JB (or maybe KK) help make the system faster and the ram management more efficient? Or should I stick with a rom similar to stock?
2 - What roms do you recommend? Which Kernel? Or should I just face the fact my phone won't be able to comply with my current needs and I should ask Santa for an iPhone?
thanks

Thank you very much.
PS: in the mean time I'm open to more suggestions, just in case.

The rom crashes the settings applet everytime I try to change language to Portuguese.
Can't add widgets with aviate launcher (settings crashes)
otherwise seems alright.
