Wanna JB 4.2 or 4.3 : what kernel / rom ? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi.
My LT26 is actually on rom stock .211 (tried .96, better battery but trouble with camefa focus).
Was is a good rom for JB 4.2.2 (and what kernel with it) ?
It seems that 4.3 roms are still in testing sequence ?
Thks.

in my opinion the 4.3 rom is more stable than the 4.2.2's I've been using it daily since it's release and never any issues

4.2 rom
I think... PAC rom might be want you are looking for, but I'm not sure... :-?

Different flavours...
Hello,
during the last few months, I tried several roms. If you rely on HDMI and want to have the best from your camera (but not the newest features), you should stick with modifications of the Xperia rom.
Most of the time I had SlimBean on my Xperia S, but they have for now finished the development, stopped with a (in my opinion very good) 4.2.2 stable version. For me it worked perfectly on a everyday basis, stable, fast, and with a very nice all-black interface (as most roms offer now). You can download it on their website. And here is the link to the according xda-thread. But many links on that forum thread are now dead, as the downloads have been moved to the "Old Releases" section on the website. If you want to use another kernel with it, I chose the OpenSEMC beta2 kernel, but I did not find any differences in comparison to the stock SlimBean kernel. Don't use 3.4 kernels with the 4.2.2 SlimBean Roms! SlimBean relies on 3.0 kernels, here is a discussion about this topic.
But now I wanted to have some android 4.3 running, and so far I see only two options for that:
The PAC beta1 which I have currently installed (still some issues there, but is OK for daily use and FAST), and the AOSP alpha1 which I have not tested so far.
I hope this helped you a little bit! If so -> thanks-button is waiting

RC2 kernel should be the same as slim bean hence not noticing any difference.
I'm still on aosp 4.3 and it's still consistently smooth and fast

OpenSEMC beta2 with SlimBean, NOT the RC2
Hello,
as corrected by now, I made a mistake in my post above, it is the OpenSEMC beta2 kernel you need for the use with SlimBean, NOT the RC2.
In this post is an according link (second one).

Any forecast about a stock JB 4.3 launch for XS? When?

JB vs. ICS
which costume rom is faster on ARC
rom based on JB or ICS
JB is better version of ICS. Project Butter, smart features on homescreen and amazing statusbar. Just flash CM10 and see for yourself, OK?
JB is faster than ICS.
I installed both FXP CM9 and CM10.
CM10 is far better than CM9.

The only reason I don't install any JB or CM10 ROM is that they don't support HDMI out yet.
Please, sign the petition in here if you didn't do yet (xda thread where there is the petition link) :

AOKP is much better than CM10, but sometimes its buggy or wifi doesnt work.
Also i dont feel the sony experience, so i prefer ICS
I think that AOKP from CM10 made a verry good job!
I'm using KXP atm and all I can say it's that this is the best rom I've used since ICS+.

Why is AOKP much better? U say AOKP is buggy, i dont have those problems on CM10.

[Q] Which ROM should i choose?

Hello everyone!
I want to install a new rom onto my arc s, but i don't know what should i choose?
There's the latest CAMPS (i like it because of the tablet mode) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928416
and Slim Bean :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959054
and Jelly Bean 4.1.2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979829
and if anyone has another rom PLEASE give me a link.
Thank you.
Try them out and see.
I think CM10 from FXP is most stable AOSP
AOKP by KXP is most feature packed AOSP
But these don't have stock camera HDMI and such working.
If you want AOSP UI with stock features like Sony Camera and HDMI but is stable and fast maybe you should try my ROM beautiful ICS
If you want just a stock ROM with NXT features which is stable and fast then my favourite for that is jaders Ultimate HD Rom.
Depends on what you want

dinesh690, Thank you for your reply.
I REALLY like your rom, i just wish if you could make a jellybean version.
These threads aren't encouraged on the forums as no one can tell you what's best for you. The only way to find out is by going through the Development section, reading the changelogs/features and then trying them out for yourself. This is all part of the fun of being on one of the largest development communities available
Thanks

Best 4.2 AOSP Rom?

I haven't updated my HTC One X for ages, and therefore I'm still running IceColdJelly 4.1. I had previously used CM10, but it had far too many bugs to be usable, so I was wondering if it is now at a usable stage. Currently, there is:
CyanogenMod 10.1
Slim Bean
IceColdJelly
Carbon ROM
AOSP
Thanks for the help,
cyr0s.
IceColdJelly is not aosp its aokp
however it has most mods and support + battery life . when i am sick of sense this is my choice to go
CM10.1
I think cm 10.1 is the best out there :good:
It won't give you a very large collection of futures to play with, but the performance and battery life of this rom aren't match by any other aosp in my opinion !
I would suggest you to download the snapshot.
Sorry but comparison threads are not allowed.

I know it can be confusing, so it is best to flash kernel recommended by rom owner.
But, i can try to explain:
There are two (2) type of roms:
-Stock (based on sony's firmware)
-Aosp (or aokp, cm or miui)
So, you have Stock gb and ics, but no Stock jb.
For Aosp based roms, you have cm7 as gb based, cm9 as ics based and cm10 as jb based (i don't know what is miui based on)
To be able to boot rom, you need kernel that match type of rom you want to install.
Some version of kernels can boot dual type roms:
Example:
1: ics/gb Stock - can boot ics and gb roms based on Stock firmware
2: ics/gb cm - can boot ics and gb based on aosp ics gb roms
3:lupus v8 jb can boot Aosp jb and Aosp ics roms, and MAYBE that's the
kernel you are searching.
The best way is to search in kernels thread based on rom you want to install

I didn't flash recently any miui roms, do they have kernel inside the rom's zip file? Or was it inside cm roms?

dude, that makes a lot of sense, ever since i installed the kernel that i mentioned earlier i have been having random issues with some custom roms
usun lupus ics v12 720 on verizon xperia play
Gin2jelly bean rom is not recognized by my computer and wom was amazing but i dont like when developers put too much apps in it . i guess the problem was the kernel i am using
ICE CREAM PURENESS : laggiest thing ever, dont know why
[ROM][GSM] Gamer 4 [Ultimate Sony experience], this rom i wanted to install because it has on screen softkey buttons. so i could use those instead of the hardware one, but have to uninstall because the didnt appear on screen and has lots of apps.
SLIMBEAN: WELL I COULDNT INSTALL IT AND KERNEL KEPT ON BOOTING LIKE CRAZY.
NOW I AM BACK WITH THE BEST ICS ROM IN MY OPINION THE TRUE ANCESTOR FINAL EDITION, WHICH I LOVE BUT IT DOESNT HAVE THE SOFTKEY BUTTONS
but now that you clarify this i might try to flash a jelly bean kernel since google claims that jellybean is the one to beat lag.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR REPLYING.
greetings from a real newbie
Well, just to add, if you want gaming perfomance, use gb roms. Ics is stable these days, but little slower then gb in gaming. Jb is only Aosp based, it's good in gaming, but some things are still "work in progress".
Ps: we where all noobs at some point
Ask whatever you want (just do not ask for ETA)

ICSNEO2PLAY thats what i read at the end of all your posts, i assume you use that rom
TELL ME ABOUT THAT ROM, IT SEEMS THAT I CAN ALREADY INSTALL IT SINCE I HAVE AN ICS KERNEL.
DOES IT HAVE ON SCREEN BACK HOME AND TASK BUTTONS?

Eta is asking when something will come out. Neo2play is the Rom that he made and its in his Signature that's why you see it in all his posts. That rom doesn't haven't screen buttons but it does give you lots of choice in what you use to fully customize your phone through aroma installer. It should work if you have an ics kernel but it has to be a stock ics kernel not aosp. If your using true ancestor then that means neo2play should work on the sane kernel
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
True ancestor rom, as my rom also, is based on Stock ics for Neo L (since that phone have exactly same hardware as play, minus touchpafs). My rom came out later, but i modded it more, and put aroma installer with bunch of rom options (gamers like less things installed, casual gamers sacrifice ram for the sake of extra stuff).
Some roms have osb (on screen buttons), but you'll have to search for it.

If you really want osb then you can use markphytons nxt ics revolution rom. He removed it from xda but you can probably find a link for it somewhere in q&a section
