[Q] I got the Xperia Neo. Now what ?

Hello, guys, after reading and using the xperia x1 section here for years, yesterday i bought xperia neo - my first android device and of course, another SE device for my history collection . Since there isnt a Neo's section here, and I believe the difference between Arc and Neo according to the software is really slight,I would like to ask you :what now: - how to check if my device is rooted (and if so or not,what to do ?... are the ARC themes and etc. in that section appliable to the neo..10x )
to check your phone root status get Root Checker from market (free).
There's a guide covering the various ways to root ones phone here.
And I wouldn't try installing the Arc themes onto anything but an Arc.
Whilst the Arc and Neo are very similar, any themes created using files extracted from an Arc are unlikely to work with a Neo.

Well, arent they having the fuction of add ons and ready akp-s?If not,then i shoul check the general Adroid theme developing,i guess ? :-o. ALso checked that my phone is not rooted but as i know,more important and lets say vital for my device to get rooted is not to be with unlocked bootloader. Is there way to find out that and most probably, if it is not, i will try rooting it with the universal program(apk) for rooting :gingerbreak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

[Q] XPERIA Arc S upgradation help to 4.0.0.A.0.62

Hello to all the genious I'm a new member.
I've bought a XPERIA Arc S on the 19th March which is upgradable by default to Android 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I use over 70 apps on my phone in Android 2.3.4 and it gets a bit frozen when i close any application in 2.3.4. Now the matter is i want to upgrade it using Sony Ericsson PC companion. My questions are:
1. Will this perform slower than now if i install Android 4?
2. Will the version 4.0.2.A.0.62 have all the features active if i upgrade via PC Companion?
3. Should i face any problem when installing android 4?
4. Will the "freezing" problem gets solved in the Android 4?
Thanks in advance

What I've observed is you use a lot of apps and that's the reason your phone appears slow.To overcome this problem, I suggest you to use SuperChargerV6.It can make your phone fast.
And about the features, the .42 Rom and .62 Rom hardly have any difference, except that .62 can't be rooted directly(for now).
And unless your bootloader is unlocked, you must have no problems while installing android 4.

I used to use a lot off apps as well. I just reseted my phone and now it is so fast. I just advised you to do the same.

[Q] Issues on CM9+ on Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

Hello! Greetings to all!
I have a Xperia Arc S LT18i handset running 4.0.4 ICS build (4.1.b.0.587) at the moment. I rooted it with the conventional way described by various individuals. Used flashtool to flash the (4.1.a.0.562) kernel, then ran the doomlord toolkit (thanks doomlord for this awesome toolkit) then reflashed the 4.1.b.0.587 kernel. So my phone is then rooted, so far ok now. I checked with root checker, even checked with terminal emulator when typing "su" the "$" turns to "#" to show i m now rooted!
I have also installed CWM after rooting my device!
But then i tried to install CM9 (stable version from anzu), it described that theres a "boot.img" file in the zip which we have to flash via fastboot mode. And put the zip on sdcard. So I connected my phone via fastboot mode (I did it correctly, it displayed a blue light on notification led). Then i used flashtool>flash>fastboot mode>"select kernel to flash">(selected the boot.img given from CM9 zip). Now here's the problem. It's displaying "device not rooted"! I m completely blank of what to do. Please help! If I m unclear about my problem, I can post screenshots!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Please standby while we have your thread/question moved to the appropriate sub-forum for your device.
For future reference you can find your device sub-forum here (bookmark/subscribe this):
Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman
Within that section you will find a dedicated q&a sub-forum (this is where your thread is going to be moved to):
Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
You need to unlock bootloader to flash custom kernels and use source ROMs like CM9
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Else you will need to use only Stock based ROMs
Problem Solved! Thanks all!
Yeah it was due to locked bootloader, thanks a lot guys, I m running LegacyXperia cm11 rom! You guys rock! Thanks a million

Xperia Overlay Lollipop 5.0.2 - install help

Hi,
Hoping someone can help me?
I have my old Xperia S and will need to use it for a little while, but it's completely stock (6.2.B.1.96) and isn't even rooted. I wanted to put the (now free) Xperia Overlay Lollipop version onto it, because I've realised so so many apps are no longer compatible with JellyBean (not sure if this is the case with Lollipop too??) but I don't know how to install it. The website only let me download "Update.zip" and comes with no installer or instructions on what I need to do.
It's been a long time since I messed around with this sort of thing (not since I had my Xperia X10) and I don't fully understand what I'd need to do to put a new ROM on this phone. Ideally I'd like to install Marshmallow 6.0 from the Xperia Overlay website, but the download doesn't show for some reason.
Thanks for any help and apologies if this is in the wrong section!
