htc fanbois go buy htc phones. even apple fanbois do the same.

as for ICS, im pretty pleased to run it SMOOTHLY after dealing with the apps arround.

210MB free ram on stock ics with stock kernel. even GB didnt have that kind of goodness.

just go in settings apps and use the awesome feature in ICS to actually DISABLE apps u dont use so they wont get even loaded.

then re-evaluate the rom :)

as for gaming, its not sony's fault that app developers didnt update their apps to face ICS changes. Just check the chart (stats are from march 2012) and see where are u in this.

yeah, in the 2.4% OF ALL ANDROIDS OUT THERE :)

no wifi direct than we want that next update

edit: I forgot about wireless performance wifi modules backported from 2.6.39 compat-wireless branch that's only good thing

core system ics based everything else comes from gb

why they didn't use NXT UI for ics

simple answer they want a quick ics upgrade so can't be done like already promised timeline

anyway I hope they reading those topics

look guys it's released use it and stop complaining they won't be updating these phones again ever , 2011 is done to them ! i guess.....

for instal use flashtool 0.6.9.1(if use other version is posible to have error)

for CWM and root use nightelf kernel rc2 and then superuser 3.0.7

in my opinion (i am not an expert) loocks good and move very good;i have a galaxy s2 and must admit the ics for neo is fast and looking good

misfortune i cant make a sceenshot at GB

Perfetic the fact the framework is from last year 2011 December 31 and the rest is a month old march 3rd says it all thanks Sony you went all out on this one not!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neothechosenone:
Well,

yesterday i flashed the leaked Rom from HongKong and i was quite surprised.

the rom runs really smooth but i'm facing 2 Problems:

when connecting to my wifi at home, the connection of my pc gets disconnected (anybody a idea what that could be?)

and the second thing is that i 3G is not working for me...

but the rest is awesome :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
Use official not leaked
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neothechosenone:
hope that will work in germany with my Neo... (don't own the V version)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
What you talking about its the same phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] JN3141:
I'm really disappointed in this. Not just the seemingly lack of effort from Sony's part, they said that they would help to 'optimise' the software before release, and instead I have options to disable ANT+ or Facebook Inside Xperia. Even with those removed, and using tweaks and whatnot, I have only about 100 - 150 mb of RAM, usually under 100 :mad: @Gjole86: If you can tell me what you disabled to get 210 mb of RAM, could you please share ><
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neothechosenone:
well, i'm confused... in every ROM i was flashing there was an NEO V Patch... so there has to be a difference or am i totally wrong?

nevertheless... got an Error message while flashing...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
Every one got that and only difference is the camera

Just relax and re flash system. Sin
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neothechosenone:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] masterinc:
for me, the only problem i faced so far is the wifi drop out issues...others just ok... i don't know why...maybe because of my home router...when i connect to restaurant's wifi, i don't faced this kind of issues
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MatheusSnakepit:
I'm totally disappointed with Sony, not just because of the lack of new stuff in the ROM, but because I thought they had learned with the past.

Back in Aug/2011 they updated x10, and their release was even laggyer than this, they claimed Bravia Engine couldn't be ported to X10, but it took only a couple day so our developers had ported it.

I'm still hoping they'll update our phones again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dice1212:
I don't understand what are you all whining about ? Most of the other manufacturer phones won't even ever get the official ics update! So quit whining and as the new phones roll out with new updates there will always be devs who will port the good stuff to our roms...as for the official update I don't know cuz I haven't tried it...custom roms are usually better than the stock one's anyways ! ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Gjole86:
too late im back to GB untill KA15 is released. i had wifi issues with official, wifi was still connected but phone reported no connection. but just read all apps u have and disable/uninstall all that u dont use.

Little Review

First, Thanks to the people that upload the ROM

Phone: Neo V MT11a

Kernel: NightElf RC2

ROM: Android 4.0.3 Nordic

Good:

-Android 4.0.3 Features:

*Holo Theme and Roboto Font

*Task Switcher

*Faster Web Browser

*Face Unlock

*Gallery (ICS)

*Smooth Scroll

*Google Apps

-And

*200MB Free RAM after remove some Useless Apps

*Camera UI

Bad

*Same UI from GB with different theme/icons:

-Contacts (FAIL)

-Conversation (FAIL)

-Clock

-Widgets and Wallpapers (FAIL)

-Music Player (FAIL)

-Radio

-Keyboard (FAIL)

-Slide to Unlock (in 2012?)

.....etc.

Ugly/Shame

*Lag (Even with Custom Kernel and OC @ 1.8Ghz, GPU acceleration does not help)

*Xperia Galley (COME ON SONY...the GB gallery unoptimized from 2.3.7 in 4.0.3? FAIL)

*Performance assistant (What a Joke! I can disable JUST 2 Service: ANT+ and Facebook in Xperia, lol)

Conclusion

I am going Back to Stock ROM with NightlEf Kernel... Everything was fast and smoother, with NXT Music Player, Widgets, Launcher ETC. I cant believe that Sony delay ICS just to release the BETA with FIXES. I am not a developer, but seeing their work a port is not hard...but if SONY port something from 2.3.4 Why they did not port EVERYTHING from 2.3.7 Xperia Phones to this update? FAIL, but maybe in the future, Sony (or developers)will update the Kernel and/or UI when sony release Android 4.0.4 (I guess) to NXT series.

PS. Widgets from NXT don't work, The Music Player Yes but without Equalizer/Clear Bass (Force Close)

Offtopic: Wotan Server is NO longer Free :(

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
See peeps that is why i not flash the ICS its to early, i did it but that was stupid of me so i went back to supercharged v6, rooted 62 on relocked bl;) my advice: just wait if they release ICS all over the world and not only now in the Nordic;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jonfensu:
reounse

You are right, but poor Nordic People, they were the cavys of Sony :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
May I ask you 2 guys one question? :)

What do you expect from other(for other regions/brands) versions? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] umarian:
About one day i can say that ICS(nordic) its ok,everything works good,to dark but i instal disable autobrightess and its ok.who instal:

1.with flastool i flash 4.1.A.0.562 with check wipe user, wipe cache(if have any eror flash again and dont bother with eror)

2.then with fastboot flash nightelf rc2 kernel

3.enter in CWM make a full wipe and reboot

4.for rooting i use superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed(with CWM)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jonfensu:
Hmm Less bloatware? :p .... I will be very optimist :D :

1- New Features (UI)

2- Smoother

3- Android 4.0.4

Who knows..... :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Even if any of that happens, it will first happen on Nordic version.

You dont realize that this is most generic that you will see, don't you?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jonfensu:
Maybe Maybe .... BTW Generic US has less bloatware :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] noowb00:
Waiting for KA15 :)

It has the several NXT apps and removed bloatwares. Oh yeah, it's based on the official Nordic ICS :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Jonfensu:
[TIP] Review Update

After use ICS, well ,is not bad at all...at the first try, i was missing the smoother UI and the NXT widgets in GB,but there is a little trick to get back these "features" :p :

1. Install Home.apk from NXT series (2.3.7)

2. Install WidgetPicker.apk, then OnOffTools.apk

*Weather Widget does not work

Get those apks in the forum

After that, Every transition between App Drawer,Homescreen even Pinch-Overview Mode with bouncing effects while you shake the phone,Work FLAWLESS and SMOOTH like GB

But you will lose the Cool Widget Launcher and will get a little font bug :rolleyes:

ok thanks but how fix the lag on ICS (srolling between screens and menu?)

who know how to supercharge ICS?

i got constantly an error :S
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
If you mean on lag in main menu, not in settings, then try using Home.apk from Xperia S, it still lags a bit, but less then the one from ICS.

And no need to ask it in 3 different threads?:rolleyes:

There will still be smaaaaal lag, not sure why that lag exist. It was even in ICS beta, but bigger lag, they got it smaller now in final, but it still exist.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ssimmmo:
ICS is fncking great... On my neo v. Why do you people complain lol it's ICS Sony style not HTC style not GOOGLE style... Sony style if you don't like it go buy HTC or what ever they all gonna be the same just different ui and different company. I personally like it simple and smooth I've had every make going from HTC right down to samsung... Each one is different and each one got bad points or good points lol so far I like it and I think it's gonna get better. Yes you this is 2011 range and might not be updated again but you know what you make the phone and what you do with it to enjoy it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Half sony ui mixed with ICS ui is not working,either they should've gone full nxt ui or full ics ui instead trying to mix both and making a ui that looks like a person with bad hair day.I know google made it mandatory that some parts of the theme must not be changed,so for ICS update sony should've created something their own that matches ics ui instead cheaply using nxt ui(which is not that great btw,apart from player,clock,messages)

I thought they mentioned about making 1000 new icons,maybe they forgot to include 80% of 'em to the update :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ssimmmo:
I can agree on you to be honest. I

As soon as I installed ics I downloaded apex launcher to mimic, nexus launcher which I love and have one in my hand as I speak Lol due to the fact my services provider messed up lol but then I also think ics is smooth and only had one problem and that was the wifi issue which has seem to ironed out lol yea Sony should made a bit more of a effort but compared to the other company like HTC they only have to focus on mobile phone where Sony has to focus on Tvs.. Stereo systems.. Ps3... And more so probably thought to cut costs. Do it cheaply lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] soybi:
Dont fight dude.. :p

The ics update has just released, so everyone need some time to know the bad and good things of the update... :D

Just cool down everyone...

There's more to happen.. Who knows...

im cool down now, sorry about yesterday to all !!

i have finally supercharged my Neo V with ICS & root but it still little lag, but its okay, no problem so far we shall see if sony can fix that or some Developers around here ;)

peace :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluestricker_21:
First..we all want is ics,now sony gave it to us.

Then what we want now is some new features

Come on people why we can't have contentment..

Try to go to samsung galaxy s2 they have problems too

Try on HTC devices with ics they also got a problem

They say the same things like we say to sony now..

Don't pressure them..they try to do the best they have to bring u what we want..

Relax guys..let us thank sony for bringing us ics..

Some devices can't get that kind of update..

We are so lucky..we're one of the user who get the 1st taste

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
I know, but KA14 is final release based.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
I liked in Beta version the way I could switch between different mute modes - one is just mute, the other was mute with vibration, by just pressing the volume down key.

Now on final this is gone, by pressing volume down on my Neo V it just mutes the sound. Is there a way to get previous behaviour like in beta rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] woody.woodpecker:
does this Sony version of ICS have built in proxy and firewall, please?

thank you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neothechosenone:
i tried that, but i still have this problem.

Using Nightelf kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I still have that, it goes mute->vibration->then on next press volume goes up.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
True, I've reflashed original ICS FW via SEUS and the functionality is back.

I wonder why it went away... is this maybe launcher related, because I've installed Apex launcher instead of stock one, since it resembles more the ICS original one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I doubt, but have you tried removing Apex launcher before flashing via SEUS?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
I figured - if I use the backup to google acc. option, then after it syncs, this functionality gets removed.

Seems like some settings left over GB due to google sync.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
really? :confused:

this should be built in setting, it shouldn't disappeare if you restore stuff with sinc.

So you flashed with stock and restore backup with google sync and that option is missing?

Can you please see if same happen with face unlock option? Meaning, if you restore backup, is that option gonne?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kriko:
I don't think there is an option for that behaviour.

There is an option for silent mode: off / vibrate / mute

That did work, however the volume rocker was not switching to vibrate / silent when I pressed the volume down key.

What I did is disconnect backup/syncing, that way settings on google server got deleted and then did a reset do factory defaults.

Now it's working well.

It is a bit unfortunate, since there is no option (at least I can't find it) to control the behaviour of volume +/- keys

Clear Bass

It running perfect and Flawlessly for me,, I dont play Much games as i believe thats why Consoles and PC GPU's are meant for.. I do play games on it like Angry birds goo,pottery fruit Ninja...

I was actually expecting that Sony would introduce Clear Bass Enhancement in this ICS update for Xperia 2011 as well, but they Didn't.

then i manually tried to replace Default with Xperia S Sound System, Everything Working Fine, Except for what i need Clear Bass. When tapping on Equalizer, it displays " unfortunately, Sound Enhancement has encountered problem.

Since i never liked the 3rd Party Apps Like Equaliser it Sucks..

Any FIX for Sound enhancements yet...

Currently NEO with I-Scream build 10

with baseband 70

Tested beta from the early days, than with KA ICS had performance problems (probably i tested the wrong beta), than JJ v3 (great rom, but discontinued). Than I-Scream 10. Tried I-Scream 10 update 1, had little problems and reverted back.

Overall ICS experience...

Almost no problem, except small lags from time to time. And also little problem with proximity sensor, sometimes hang up phone while i am on a call. I never play Games, so don't know about that

Aside from this, ICS is working good. More or less what i expected

Sorry for my English
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dhuewes:
I have now finished reading all posts in this thread.

It seems that most of the feedbacks are negative, with very few positive.

I want to add my own feedback.

I was using emannxperia's GB ROM and generally satisfied with it. Some minor issues, but with overall good performance and smoothness.

I've tried many incarnations of the ICS Beta and always came back to GB because of serious performance issues and memory management. So I decided to wait for the final ICS version from Sony.

I am using Spacious ROM (in my opinion the best available now).

My feelings are mixed.

Pros: :)

Excellent batery life with NightElf kernel

APEX launcher is really cool and smooth (ICS only)

Performance is better than ICS beta

Cons: :(

Performance is lower than GB

OC is almost mandatory if you plan to use heavier apps (in my case - Waze)

UI was not changed from GB, that's why I went to APEX

For the time being I will continue to use ICS, but I was expecting better performance on ICS. There were many reviews in the specialized media about the optimizations Google introduced with ICS. But it came out that ICS is heavier than GB on both CPU and RAM usage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] soybi:
Me too.. Went back to GB codename.

That ICS update gives me an unstable phone.

Maybe i'll wait for a mature custom rom.
