I really want to know why gaming sucks so bad on all ICS Roms even the latest leaked Rom

If the final ICS release by sony acts the same in gaming its going to be a real deal breaker for many !!!

Is this a problem with ICS on NEO or with all ICS Roms in general on other phones?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
afaik its a general problem in ICS for most devices,besides game devs too need to edit and optimize code to make it work good in ICS.I'm sure it will take some time.

almost every second day , i flash a different rom. some times gb, sometimes ics.

but no ics i have kept more than 3-4 hours. so i also prefer gb.

great stability- great compatibility.

I havnt tried his v2 yet...waiting till all bugs are fixed...and his v1 is nice overall except some non market apps couldnt be installed and some bugs here and there...but since he combined the goodies of both stock and cm7...his effort his admirable...i get bugs in every rom out there except romkola's...it only lacks auto setup of apns...although all roms are great in performance...but i prefer either stock or romkola for stability...and now switched to cm7 permanently after the fxp115.

Can someone confirm this?

We would like to clarify that above mentioned “challenges” have already been addressed by our SW engineering teams. For instance, we have not only optimised the RAM management by making the RAM usage for internal apps as good as possible, but we will also introduce a Performance assistant at start up when running ICS. In this Performance assistant, you can enable and disable certain services that you might not want to run on your phone, in order to optimise the performance of your phone.

We have also worked with quite a few partners in regards to architecture optimisations for SQL handling. In addition, we have also optimised the hardware usage. And as a result of this article, a number of app developers have notified us that they are evaluating if HW optimisation will be needed or not for their apps.

The aim of this article was to share our knowledge regarding the different characteristics for ICS and Gingerbread in an open way, as we strive to have an open communication with the developer community. All in all, we would like to point out that it’s our clear aim to deliver an as good ICS update as ever possible. As you might have seen on the Sony Xperia Product Blog, we’re not far from releasing it now. Thanks for all the feedback!​

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] senthilrameshjv:
Pandemic,

If we use your method to root, is it possible to unroot it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Of course, simply flash the phone with pc companion, seus, wotan-server or flash ftf file with falshtool.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
yeah of the nordic, but i need it from europe ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Why?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
why?? i can longer wait ahahah, i need root on that ICS, and we have a solution for root ICS for Locked Bl then i install it ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Why?

Now I bolded part because of which I asked why.

And next question is why don't you unlock your BL again, since you done it once.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
its okay mate,

no well i think about it, maybe i unlock my bl later when i update to ICS ;)

i need my phone everyday, so if i unlocl my bl and then install ICS i want the stock not a costum kernel, but i think about it ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Why do you want ICS from Europe?? Do you now get my question? lol

And about unlocked BL, no body is forcing you to use custom kernel. Simply flash ICS, unlock BL, hot boot with some kernel which have CWM and flash zip which contains SU, then restart phone, and phone will restart with stock kernel.

Also not sure why you say you need your phone every day.. I also need it every day, I have unlocked BL, and no problem, but.. it's your phone..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Easy solution, some kind soul makes a nandroid of a rooted ics and uploads.

You can then restore the backup and flash the ftf for just the kernel :-)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] senthilrameshjv:
Hi I am a Neo V user since past three weeks. I am facing some touch issues now. When I try to open the screen by unlock , i had to do it many times before successfully unlocking it. I had to carefully keep my hand at the lock button and place it over in the other end. Have any of you faced similar issues. Also, when I go for long pressing few things, it just takes as a single press and performs that action for it (the touch is not persistant enough to wait to know if its long press or single press).

For eg., when i 'm playing songs, i go the playlist and attempt to long press the song for more infomration. But as soon as i touch the song, it pauses the song even though i dint take the hand yet.

i hope i m clear in explaing this thing. i googled for it and i could see this http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/167734. But i'd like to know in XDA since people are more experienced here.

P.S: I dont have a PC hence dint try that software repair yet. Also, i have a screen protector that came with the mobile. Anyone think this is a hardware issue and i should go for replacement?

Are you using stock rom? Or custom rom?

Hi Madfysh,

Thanks,I've done that. it drew lines eveywhere i touched. Should there be any other way to test this 'touch screen test' correctly. All these touch are working fine until two days earlier. Or is there possible any apps have installed some malware in the phone?? Just out of curiosity.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] unisol107:
make sure if you are running out of RAM...touchscreen becomes irresponsive if too many apps are running and phone is running short of memory.

No I've more than 130 m ram available when these things happen.

just a suggestion if it still have the 7days or 30days replacement go ahead and replace it if however there is no visible dents or physical damage they will replace it assuming u didnt tinker w/ software eg replace os, deleted system app, etc

Hi I am planning to root my phone this weekend. Its not even a month since i bought my phone but can't wait to enjoy the rooted features. So, here are the questions i have. (Dont worry im not gonna bug u all for pointers to root)

Just an info about the phone.

Neo V MT 11 I

Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.62

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-perf. SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

Baseband Version ends in 64

Android 2.3.4

Now the clarifications.

1. I want to root and unlock the BL. Should the order matter. Can i unlock even after root?

2. If i want to Unlock unofficially, just to make sure my warranty is on, is there any way I can do other than S1 tool. I also need this method to give me option of relocking just in case i prefer warranty.

3. Is root needed for upgrading to ICS?

4. Is there a way to come back to GB if the ICS is not good enough?

5. What do u suggest me? Root in GB itself, know how it works and go to ICS? Or upgrade to ICS and if i dont like, come back to GB.

6. What is the general feedaback or how do u feel about the ICS in Neo V?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
1.order does matter for 0.62 fw. You need to unlock boot loader first. Then use custom kernel with CWM to flash root Xperia zip. Or downgrade to 0.42 fw, in this fw you just can use essay root toolkit by doomlord. Read stickied threads

2. Other way is setool2,which is the same but for network locked phones with fastboot locked. But you can re lock after using official way.

3.no

4. Yrs.flashtool

5.I suggest go to ICS and if you don't like it move Barack to gingerbread.

6. Read general section. There are plenty of threads with feedback and bugs of official ICS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] soybi:
I suggest just try ics then revert back to gb if you dont like it.

Search about rooting and bootloader unlocking here on general section.

Note: you dont need to have root to revert back from ics to gb. Just use flashtool.

Important: search, read, decide what to do... Done.

Just hit THANKS if i helped. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dhwanik:
1. I want to root and unlock the BL. Should the order matter. Can i unlock even after root?

A. Any order will do!!!

but since ur r on .62(assuming u dont update to ICS )

then its better to unlock bootloaders first

because then u need to flash any custom kernal and u can root it easily!!!

2. If i want to Unlock unofficially, just to make sure my warranty is on, is there any way I can do other than S1 tool. I also need this method to give me option of relocking just in case i prefer warranty.

A. I have locked bootloaders and i dont have much knowledge about it :(

3. Is root needed for upgrading to ICS?

A. NO

u can update to ics without rooting

4. Is there a way to come back to GB if the ICS is not good enough?

A. yes see this link

5. What do u suggest me? Root in GB itself, know how it works and go to ICS? Or upgrade to ICS and if i dont like, come back to GB.

A. go to ICS

6. What is the general feedaback or how do u feel about the ICS in Neo V?

A. i love ICS

see my video and u will come to know

it has many new features

Voted. Yes it's good, to have general chat here, and small questions, but, not to replace threads. Threads are there for reason. Conversations about exact problem/question. If users write good topic title/subject someone else will be able to find that thread if he have same/similar problem.

Even myself sometime search for some old thread I discussed about.

Learn other people how to search, how to think when searching for something. You would be amazed how some people don't know how to google. I seen it with my own eyes.

Gathering them(by posting in their threads with info on this thread) in one place(here) won't make nothing out of them, only zombies who ask and demand answer, doing nothing by themselves to find for answers.

Just my 2 cents ;)

Care to discuss about this if you want :)
