[Q] ICS rom

what is the most stable, smooth ICS rom ?

Official Sony beta

FXP's currently my daily driver. Use that, because everything about Sony's ROM is garbage IMO.
(I will never get over that keyboard ;-; )

KA11 and Official Sonny ICS beta seem to work good (except the facelock feature.. but for most ppl work.. for me not lol)
use the doomkernel for ics.. both the low and high are good, ppl reported the phone not entering in deep sleep mode if u keep the wifi on, so keep wifi on only when u need it for better battery life. everything else seem to work on both of them.

The official one reboot a loot

IMHO FXP is smoother and less laggy. Also performance in Benchmark seems to be better. BUT it hasn't a good touchpads/gamepad support.

If you want to just have to boot a kernel once then use my thread in the signature

[Q] Need Some advice!!

What is The Best Kernel / Rom Combo for Xperia Arc/S where WiFi and WiFi Tethering works completely stable on Jelly Bean?
I have been searching the forums for about a week now and haven't found anything remotely to the question i'm asking. I've seen similar posts about the best Combo's but none which specifically for certain Options within the Rom/Kernel ....
So far I have Tried:
Kernels....
LuPus JB V2-V4
FXP 144-146
Fusion JB
JBV02
Roms....
C.A.M.P.S JB
AOKP Anzu Build 4 & 5
MIUI JB 2.11.2
Jellybean-V02
I hope those list will help that I have been hunting around

I am using JellySandwich 8.2 with Arc Knight kernel, no problems yet and everything works fine that you need

I know about JellySandwich and I have to agree there is no problems whatsoever with JellySandwich but it's Ice Cream Sandwich based Rom with JellyBean goodies I was after a JellyBean Rom that supports with what I need. The unfortunate part is that there is no Official JellyBean Firmware for our devices so we have to hope that a custom can do it. But thanks for your analysis anyways

Arc Fusion 3.9 with FXP 147, only problem I have is gps (doesn't work)
I get 1.5 days in battery life with interactiveX and Sio
Light gaming and surfing the net and facebook
Tethering doesn't work on 147, However you can make it work with 145 with this wifi tether fix
Though I think there were problems with youtube on 145 (me thinks)

I use since few days JB V03 4.1.2 but with Fusion 3.9, and it seems to be good. wifi works great, hotspot also nice. 2g/3g normally.
battery is also good. I use 2g/3g all the time, and the battery works like 1,5-2 days which is good cause every previous rom i had was discharging during a day.

Thank you both for your ideas on Combo's I have tried both Combo's with an unfortunate result ... I should've stated because technically you were both right and Tethering does work. But on both USB Tethering works great no problems. But I unfortunately needed Wi-Fi Tethering which doesn't work on either. On one of them (Fusion 3.9, FXP 145 with Tethering Module) Does Pick up as working but no Data sends out. I have had to Revert back to stock LT15i ICS Rom because my internet in my home runs of tethering (Wireless Tethering). But seriously thank you both for your Ideas.

I have given it a try but because I have had a good taste of JB I unfortunately can't go back to GB. Yes it is amazing in all of what you said but the JB goodies has killed my rational thought lol. But thank you for the opportunity

I'm using Xperia Ultimate HD 2, and I'm pretty happy with it, it's very stable and really smooth, smoother than anything I've tried so far, it's based on 4.0.4 which is the last ICS version before Jellybean, people say 4.0.4 is the best version of ICS overall. So the Xperia Ultimate HD 2 is a great Rom built on a great base. Obviously you want Jellybean features but I'm not sure on everything you want, but I have Google Now on here, and I think it's modded to look like JB, you should check it out on the Complete Rom list and see if it has what you want

I would recommend CM10 for user xperience, smoothness but mostly for battery life whch is just awful in stock rom.
Sent from my Xperia S using xda premium

How is PA Rom and PAC rom when it comes to smoothness, do they come anywhere near CM?

They're both super smooth. I always use PAC
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S

XTX I would recommend if you are not using the SD-card

I will recommend you (in order)
CM10
NOVA
CM9
Stock ICS
I try other (custom ics) like ka etc...
I found they're too unstable, random reboot, performance issue...
Sent from my Xperia S using xda app-developers app

AW: what rom would you recommend?
PAC is one of the best Roms available for the Xperia S in my opinion.
It is super smooth, easily costumizable and stable.
In the new Version it even contains some Sony Features like Walkman and launcher.

Wait for JellyBean

Try paranoid android 2.57. Its stable, fast and the best Rom I have ever had! I use it for daily use and its very much stable!
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

I definitely recommend hei125 Nova rom with the nova kernel. Very stable, constantly updated and responds to all the complaints and fix them.

[Q] Is CM10 based on JellyBean?
Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm pretty new to this as well. I'm currently running XTX8. I tried XTX9 but it was very slow and laggy so I reverted back to XTX8. I wanted to try CM9.1 but couldn't get it installed, so just did a restore as it was late at night. It's just I didn't consider CM10 as I thought it was based on JB, and I wanted something that's stable and not still being 'developed' as such.

My first rom was pac and after few days i just flash xtx. I really dont know which one is better. I suppose whatever suits your needs.
In my opinion read and learn how to flash, root...etc and try lots of roms and you ll find your suitable rom

wifi issue

can please someone tell me which is the best kernel for ics or jb to get best wifi stable range as in gb or i will have to stick with gb only?
edit: please tell the rom + kernel option with the base rom.
i have head .13 of jader and one more custom based has wifi stability like gb.
so please help me

Any stock based ICS ROM will give you stability you need. It's just a matter of finding out what ROM fits you best.

I don't know about stability but when it comes to range then CM10 with Fusion 4.5 kernel is really good. Sadly 4.5 is not available anymore (if you are really REALLY interested then I can upload it for you) but you can always try this new ICS from jader.

you sure it will give the same range and stablility as gb with no drops?

I don't know I've never tested it stability wise but in a place where stock was giving me 1 bar of range with constant wifi drops CM10 with Fusion 4.5 gives me stable 2 bars without disconnecting every 2 minutes.

try anzu kernel. Tried it using uhd w/ no issue.

I used my arc at a restaurant last night.WiFi bar was full.Immediate access to internet and very fast downloads.
Came back home,used existing WiFi and only the dot which made disappearing act now and then.
So you see,its not the problem with the device nor the kernel.

Actually i did it,but this is kind of old - i think the newest roms will be better and more stable. I can be wrong,but i dont like to have old software on my phone
For now i am using Xplaystation GB v2 and.. Looks good,smooth UI,good performance,no bugs for now. But one thing makes me mad - the lock screen. Is there any addon to change lockscreen for looks like JB/ICS?

Same here, no mater what I will always go back to stock GB with tweaks, its the fastest by far all Roms, most battery efficient and honestly it feels more like YOURS as u know what u did to it, and not someone else's tweak/mods to it,
