Just my 2C - after trying Barebones 1.55 Peas & Carrots, PaysROM, CM7 RC0 and RC1 and 110625 Nightly, and coming from original Nordic Froyo - my Defy is now perfect.
Video still is not 100% perfect, but I can film in wide-mode without lag now, so that's good enough for me (green lens). Using LG Camera app and 2Mbit decoding seems to do the trick for me...
Other than that - the device performs spotless. Running standard settings in CM7 as overclocking more seems to affect the stability, and it's flying as it is on CPU:1000.
I love this forum and the excellent work you guys put in. This seriously made my phone a device I can make "my own", thanks to all the apps and mods that people in here make.
thx.. was searching for which nightly would b best.
07/27 is perfect for me! no more camera bugs, great battery comsumption...
what a good news. I can't wait to upgrade to this version. Thanks for your post!

I'm using CM7 RC1v2 and my battery life is a bit shy of 2 days. like 44 hours or so.
Hey I got a question, I'm using Cyanogen Mod V7.1 RC1 v1
There is two problems I've encountered, just want to know if its also there in the nightly mod you have.
1. WMA files wont play unless I use Vplayer with software codec.
2. Cannot converge calls and start a conference.
You guys got the same issues with nightly mod or rc1 v2?

Just do a little search before posting mate, check the CM7 FAQ thread in the Defy Android Development section.
Hey guys, just wondering what everyone is running on their verizon play? I am setting on fxp cm 9.1 but the lost features from stock are making me regret the change to ics (don't get me wrong the devs did a great job). I know we don't have much to choose from but I was wondering if I missed a gem somewhere. It's be awesome if you guys could give me some info,

I am using the UK 2.3.3 GB rom that was ported from the GSM xperia play. Everything works with touchpads what more do you want? Otherwise stock GB is the way to go. Oh yeah I tend to avoid fxp or cm based roms because they do not want to fix the touchpads. Even if there were a fix for the touchpads neither fxp or cm would add it to their builds.
COLA ROM
330MB of free space on internal memory.
290-250MB of free ram.

Let me make this clear. FXP does the ENTIRE 2011 xperia line of phones, so sorry if a few build.prop lines get overlooked. 99% of "the touchpads" not working is due to the game itself and how it has them implemented and guess what..They use close source. So how can there be a "fix" when they can't see the source? Do not speak about which you know nothing about, as a developer who worked for cm a few years back, I find your comment insulting. It was cm that started custom roms in the first place.

Hey now, I am sure it reads alot worse than he meant it, lets not start getting insulted by some internet goobieness. Like I said in my opening post, fxp did a great job with what the had to work with. The problem lies with Sony Ericsson we can all agree with that right?
I used to run the UK build but the draw of ICS made me leave it. Imma look into COLA this weekend!
Thanks guys and keep the responses coming.
If only all gsm rom can be tweaked to work on cdma then there won't be any problem about ics..

Sorry Agraceful I disregard my earlier comment and I didnt mean to spark a argument. Your right I dont know anything about developing roms or what not however having a half functional Xperia play is another thing leaving a sour taste in my mouth. As soon as i installed the latest FXP it had working touchpads however there is still the circle button issue but I am convinced were getting one step closer for a fully functional Xperia play. My faith is restored Cyanogenmod/FXP and I do apologize for my remark.
hi @all
i'm new to all this stuff.
i still own a Gio but would get a better performance. so i looked arround and found this site. i got the AOKP rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075310 and it works great. only two little things are not working correctly. after a few minutes my wifi is disconnected. and i can't connect again unless i reboot the phone. and bluetooth isn't working.
may be some of u know how to fix it? would be great.
btw: it's an amazing work u all do here.

That stuff is probably the drivers fault, but have u tested to change the Wifi Scan Interval? That can be done with the Pimp My Rom app.

Please, change your rom, because aokp haven't completed for now and still have more bugs. You can use gingerbread based rom or cm 10.1(fully working JB rom)
Hello,
I've got recently this phone and I kind of like it. The only reason was the qwerty keyboard.
The biggest problem I have with this phone is the sound. Every messenger app (skype, yahoo, viber etc) has the same problem. The receiving sound is slow and ununderstandable.
The current ROM installed CM 10.1 Kernel 3.1.10 android 4.2.2
I am a newbie in installing ROMs, but if I could I'd go straight to android 2.3.5
CM 10.1 is very laggy, with lots of problems (missing calls, GPS connectivity, maps, performance etc).
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thank you
P.s. I searched in the forum about this issue, but didn't have much luck.
Whos CM 10.1 are you using? Also CM 10.1 is no longer being updated,I suggest you use CM 10.2 by Bubor or a 4.3+ ROM
If you need more help please post back
The sound issue is with voice recording, any action with VoIP, dictaphone, voice dialing etc. will make sound playback distorted for some time. This issue exist in any ROM after stock ICS, so if this is very important for you, you'd better stay with stock. Here's the link: Stock UCLJ3.
If you wish a newer ROM, such as CM 10.1.3 or CM 11, there is workaround with VoIP sound called Tinyalsa stack, but it broke GSM call receiving sound. You can look here.
Also, I should say that CM 10.1.3 and CM 11 I linked have almost no issues beside this VoIP. GPS working great, no missing calls, no reboots, great performance and no battery draining. But I recommend to try and find what will suit you best.

Hello,
Yes I use skype calling a lot, I need this feature working. So you are suggesting me to install the android 4 stock version from samsung, but from what I red, there is an issue with the qwerty keyboard light. If this is true, it confirms my first idea to go with android 2.3.5
Thank you for your replies!
Samsung fixed the keyboard issue and a lot of other stuff in their 2nd release of stock ice. If you see those types of complaints, they are from the first revision.
I'm running stock and the only two issues I have is general UI laggieness (which is expected since its stock with bloat and not really optimized, also running on an older phone with no project butter). Along with messaging notifications failing to make any noise at random. I'll get a new text message and the screen will light up, but doesn't viberate or make a sound at random. Incoming calls still ring just fine though.
Other than those two issues (lag really isn't an issue for me), stock works just fine for me.

Yes, I recommend to install stock 4.0.4, it's the best way I know to have working GSM and Skype calling at the same time without needing to switch alsas stacks. j.asir here using new CM with tinyalsa fix and terminal shortcut - that's a bit inconvenient, but at this time there's no better way to go if you wish to have newest android and skype calls.
I newer tried 2.3.5 ROM on this phone, so I can't comment anything about it. If you try vanilla 2.3.5, please write about the results!

Hi @Makshow, have you considered using a 2.3.5 ROM? I have considered the possibility of doing so as I've heard that our device running GB has no issues at all... or so I've heard, but I honestly haven't had the time to test it. I was considering the possibility of using Inception (Back in black), but the download links are not available. If my Glide would work smooth and with no issues with GB I'd be glad to use it. If you decide to go for a GB ROM could you please provide me with some feedback? I would really appreciate it if you do so. I am not so cool with using ICS as stock is very battery & RAM consuming. And I was not so convinced using Litekernel or literom. Literom is really cool, but it has some issues and glitches that I found very disturbing. If you do go for GB please provide me with some feedback :highfive: Regards
I got this phone with new ROM already installed, so I won't try flashing 2.3.5 GB Android, I have no experience with this at all. Sorry. And I doubt that there weren't any issue with GB, one can search older posts in these forums and see that there were many bugs and bloat and troubles.
As for working download link for INC3PTION 2.3.5 ROM, there is one from Androide3 here. You can try it.

Hello @Androide3, thank you for your response. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues? Is your battery life good? How about RAM usage?
BTW is there a specific method to install this ROM? I ask since I have never used GB. My phone came with ICS already
Thanks for details given in this thread.
Where can I find the stock android 4.0.4 second version?
An other quick question (I know this is an off topic question), is the samsunng galaxy s i9000 battery the same with the i927 batter?
Thank you

Listen may i know it got really annoying with the sound.. but we have a fix now...
its a third party app which you can use.. its very easy to use and one time setup only
just get any kitkat rom..
its stable and only stops working if the app gets killed but otherwise i have tested it extesively
try it out and i would suggest omnirom to you if u prefer simplicity.

Finally I did it!
Finally I did it!
Ok, it was very easy and I feel kind of stupid :laugh: but as for the first time I'm still proud.
The major problem I couldn't install the stock rom was because of twrp. I had a old version, 2.4 I believe.
I managed to over install cwm v 6.whatever which was compatible with i927 and re-tried to install the stock rom and IT WORKED!
The stock rom is great! the phone is much much much quicker than with cm10.2. All features work! skype calls, voice recording, map, camera rotation, etc. Will see if I will lose any missed call.
The problem, I'm facing now is the sd card and internal memory which were inverted during cm10.2, but I am sorting things out.
I'm a bit disappointed that I lost all the installed apps with cm10.2. and I can not re-install them again. I have only the option to update it which won't work. Any idea?
Hei guys,
Most probably this question has been asked already, but since then more updates had been followed.
I'm running a FreeXperia 4.1.2 ROM on my Xperia S, and I would like to change to a newer version (preferable 4.4.x) that is fitting a day-by-day use. What would you recommend me?

If You want extremely stable, go for Mokee. We still have official support from it. Second most stable according to Me is Carbon, but it has less frequent updates.
mokee?
Don't u have force closes ?
I think crDROID is most stable if your looking for KitKat rom
Never-ever use CrDroid for daily-use, it's kinda nice rom although you'll get alot (well, a few but still) of random reboots, it has very much customization options but with cost of stability.
Carbon Rom was quite nice 4.4.4 but the battery lasts half day with it...so it's also bad idea to use it.
I also used AOSPX, Paranoid, CM 11 and Mokee but can't say much about them because they were on my XS only for a few minutes - didn't liked any of them but I've heard much good things about AOSPX so you can try that one.
Otherwise I don't recommend any 4.4 roms, better stick to 4.1
I would recommend using PA or Carbon, both are stable ROMs of 4.4.4 for Xperia S. Carbon has more customization than PA, but PA is like semi-lollipop. Both give you 721 MB of RAM against 621 MB of stock JB.

AOSPX works very well. Only problem is you can't use your phone for calling. Oops.
Call volume does not do anything AND the other end can't hear you. So if you don't want to talk with anyone it's afine rom

Good for you but it doesn't do much for me.
And for the record, I just had to completely wipe my XS so it's not likely that either.
I guess I'll give PA a shot and if it won't work, I'll go back to 4.1. I'n any case I'm just using the phone as for a 2nd sim card to pick up calls and little else. Stock rom has this aggravating bug with PIN codes where the android phone will keep on crashing, so..
The best overall rom so far
For me the smoothest,fastest and most stable is the carbon rom build 20140808-1848
Also customization options available... try it you wont regret it...
I experienced crdroid, it's a great rom but has some bugs and reboots a few times in a day. I have been using CARBON rom (20141103 build) for 3 weeks, and I'm very happy with it. It's very stable for me.
Well, Paranoid android v4.4.4 also had the same very low voice problem in-call. At least the other guys can hear ME but I can't really hear THEM. I also grabbed the low voice fix and installed it but it didn't help.
I think I'll check the OpenSEMC-U 10.1 now, lots of people seem to like it. (that's 4.2)
Nope, same problem. 4.2.2 CM10.1 has very very low volume in-call as well. And, yes, I did wipe, install new kernel blah bloody blah blah.
*sigh* I guess it's back to the official "android phone has stopped" firmware :crying:
Try LP nAOSP or AOSP, they are better then 4.4
