many positive feedback might want to try :) thanks for the rom

Great rom, very goog for first release, hope for some mods and tweaks in your next versions, thanks man
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mannu_in:
Which Night-Elf kernel to use? Lite or Full

On this kernel thread can you please tell on which kernel to download(full or lite) and should I flash it before flashing the ROM or after it.

Using Neo V on leaked ICS 4.0.4 with the same kernel(Full) and baseband 64, but I think I have done something wrong as the ROM is not that fast I think.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] demolatorul:
Do like this : full wipe, then flash the kernel (i 'm using the lite version and is preety good) then flash the rom, should be fine
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mannu_in:
I installed this ROM on my Neo V and it worked fine for some time but after that phone is showing no signal and if I try to go to Mobile Networks, it says Settings has stopped working and also Baseband version is showing as Unknown...Please help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] imranaryan:
Wifi taking too much time to connect.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mannu_in:
Ohh I got the root cause, I tried to replace Semcphone.apk with a customised one and then I was getting this problem. Reflashed the ROM and everything is working perfect and smooth, battery life is also very very good.

Thanks for this awesome ROM....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
I shall base the next version on the official Neo 4.0.4 release. In the meantime I have been experimenting with various tweaks and checking the effectiveness of the existing ones so that the next release is streamlined as well.

At the end of the day the aim is simply to improve the stock ROM's performance and battery life without breaking any functionality, so that at least this becomes the "fallback to" ROM. :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karimstiti:
hi guys, very good rom, very speed and smooth, but i have a bug with face unlock, it says "face unlock couldn't start"!!!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] j.llorente:
led light works well? With 1.0 led light with lightflow doesn't work if touchscreen is off.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
Have to check that one out as I don't use Lightflow. But at least the default LED notification works fine. :)

Anyway, Alliance kernel RC4 is working fine with the ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] j.llorente:
I use KA18 and lightflow works. And I use lightflow because I need different light for each app. For me it's essential. I will try with v1.1 ;)

EDIT: lightflow doesn't work well with v1.1, only works if touchscreen is ON.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Rikcon:
Dev,why to delete SEMC keyboard and install AOSP ?

Can you plese make an update zip with SEMC keyboard,or just upload files,i'll change them by myself )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
Included a flashable zip containing all the removed system apps. Remove the apps from the zip that you don't require. Actually, in the first place let me know if the flashable zip works since I can't test it now.

On a passing note, I don't know how many people are aware of it but Widgetsoid does a nice job with the notification toggles as indicated in the attached screenshot, in case any one is interested.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
I have installed only keyboard (LearningClient.apk,textinput-tng.apk) and it's working ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hassib85:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kreda:
1. Flash in camera dont work on neo v patch :P not include in the patch, or i am blind :P

2. Bug in 24/h time format, check this :P

But... except this, ROM IS AWESOME :))
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ay.ibrahim:
is there neo v batch ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
2. I have MT15i and don't have bug 24/h time format, but when I have used ROM Spacious, smooth and light ICS based on MT11i it has 24/h bug.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
The patch is an old one, haven't posted a patch for v1.1. Actually I would prefer to work on the official Neo V release, but if that is not the case then I will post a camera patch based on the official Neo V release. But that won't happen till the weekend, so do hold on or perhaps you can post the relevant files from the official Neo V release.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] haychis:
I must be doing something wrong!!!

I have flashed back GB ... all ok ... I then flashed the ICS kernel and then your rom.

Boots up and and I still have the bloatware ? trackid, timescape etc ...

I've looked in ur rom and those apks aren't in there. Why are they still on my phone? So I tried again. Removed vendon.sin from the ftf file and flashed, but even then those files are still in the rom ?

EDIT: In all instances there is still the /vendor directory
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
In my case, I simply flashed the official ftf after removing vendor.sin and that got rid of the vendor partition. Doing this after wiping everything from recovery is the only alternative I can think of.

If nothing else works, you can remove the apps manually from the vendor partition or use this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] haychis:
I've tried that, still no go ... i think there's got to be a way to format /vendor, cause maybe it doesn't format when you do a factory reset, and system format via recovery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
Factory and system reset don't affect the vendor partition. Neither does any script at the time of flashing, so I suppose removing it from the ftf is the only logical way to get rid of it but then it is odd that it is not working for you.

Anyway, added the following add-ons:

- Notification Toggle and Status Bar Battery %

- Neo V camera patch

- On-screen buttons
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] haychis:
Ok.. the only way it worked, was if I flashed a Neo-V ICS ftf file as that does not have the vendor partition. Then flashed Neo FTF with vendor removed and it worked. No vendor apps any more!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Moursy93:
great rom i have to say,i am only facing one problem LED for whatsapp isn't working for me,can anyone confirm the same or is it just me ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
Glad to know that it worked out in the end. :)

Going through the Sony Mobile forums, it seems that the LED notifications work only for Missed calls in all the Xperia 4.0.4 stock ROMS. So it is a problem introduced with the stock ROM itself and hence carried into this ROM.

I wouldn't want to bring in any foreign code into the ROM, so I will look into it but don't hold your breath. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fatimarvin_15:
just want to ask something on how you started...

this rom moves app from vendor/app to system/app right...

how bout the other files & folders inside the vendor:

vendor/lib

vendor/etc

vendor/pittpatt

are these important or the phone can function properly without these files & folders from vendor?

or we also need to put it also on system?

thanks... :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
The other files in the vendor partition are not essential for proper functioning.

In the meantime, I have consolidated the add-ons, so only a single flash is required now to get all the additional features that were not originally present in v1.1.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fatimarvin_15:
just need a little help, cuz im making my own rom.

heres what i did:

-i backed up vendor/apps

-i flashed official 4.1.B.0.431 ftf

-flashed 420mb patch (no more vendor partition)

-i restore my backeuped vendor/apps to system/apps

-every apps are working

-BUT when i tried to enable face unlock, face unlock is no more on the list

so in short, other files (other than apps) on vendor partition is important.

so on your rom, how do you link these files to make everything working?

the only thing i want is 420mb patch on my stock rom.

but because 420mb patch deletes vendor partition (also deletes face unlock or maybe other features)

or is there a way to put 420mb patch without sacrificing vendor partition?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mastaowen:
please can you tell me where to get the 380 to 420MB userdata patch for 4.0.4?

thanks in advance.

The logger has been disable for performance improvement. You can enable it by deleting S01Logger from system/etc/init.d and rebooting the phone.

Video recording has always been working. I guess you got the wrong thread.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
Thanks. It would be great if you could help me to help you. Can you simply replace the files in the patch zip with ones from the stock ROM for neo V and tell me if it works?

If it does, then kindly share the zip file here and I will update the first post with due credits.

Hi!

I have to say that this rom is very good..very battery friendly, smooth and fast!

BTW: Is possible to get flashable .zip for SE home launcher? I like it more then Apex..

thx
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] florian46:
very nice Rom, féliciations :)

how to have a Alphanuméric keyboard please ? thanks :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wielku:
could someone do CWM zip with all xperia s ICS apps fully working for this rom ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
I have included the AOSP keyboard, but you can install any of the countless others available on Google Play Store as per your requirement.

I have included it as an add-on but I must warn you that it may not be as smooth as Apex launcher in certain circumstances. :)

I am using some of the Xperia S apps myself and have not faced any issues. You can directly flash the zip files available in the theme section and the apps should work just fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wielku:
could someone fix camera for Neo V becuse it's purple with flash like on CM9 I never had this problem on any ICS rom based on stock I've installed neo v patch from other rom and still have purple camera with flesh that's really annoying WHY there is always some disadvantage to rom I hate this with Neo V ;/

AND

BTW this is first sony stock based rom on which there is not multi touch issue in Max Payne Mobile

Thank You very much good sir

UPDATE

http://www.mediafire.com/?bcnu7e6x3cga27w so here it is fixed neo v patch without purple stuff I just copied stuff that was in purple fix for CM7 and MIUI but from Stock sony ICS and voila it's working now we have great rom without flaws
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
The rom is excellent no lags and great battery life.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wielku:
also for me when I get SMS the led is not flashing it's not lights up at all would you be able to fix it?

I've installed deodexed one and titanium backup gives FC ;/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sipi1302:
You have fix here in Neo forum for that, LED notification fix is called, just look for it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lalit387:
Good Creation one of the better ICS ROM.

Very Stable

Would request to create an ADD-ON based on Aroma Installer so that removed apps can be taken back as per user requirement.

ICS needs further tweaking for Speed.......

So Work HARD to make us happier.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Karl.A.C:
ICS ROM best tested. but with the v.1.2
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
Can you upload it to xda file server for download.. The op has only version 1.3
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
I have re-posted the link for v1.2. Honestly though the changes in v1.3 were mostly aesthetic, so I wonder how it could have affected the speed or broken any of the features.

However, it was my firm objective to not break anything in this ROM as compared to stock considering that some or the other functionality seems to be broken in most of the custom ROMs. So do let me know if you find anything broken and I shall again start from scratch.

Mostly though I think v1.3 is a good baseline and shall mostly start with a new version once some Jelly Bean goodies turn up. :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Did a clean install of this rom, v1.3 with Suave v6 kernel, not a single problem, glitch or hang for now!!! Great work. Battery seems fantastic for now but will see in a few days more. Installed dialer lag fix - works. Haven't tested all the combinations with Led notification, but will see today probably and report back.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
Keyboard?

With what keyboard does it come? I would love to have the original ICS keyboard made by Google. Dislike the Xperia keyboard.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Thats the one here! ;)

I love it too. Apex launcher also, THE best!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
LED notifications not working it seems, any fix, patch???

Would this work maybe t3chg33k?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
A launcher? Is it built in or....? Doesn't that make it slower?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Hell no, makes it faster, Apex is THE best for ics launcher, in this rom stock is replaced with apex (yes, built in) and it works fantastic. ;)

I will only try l8r led fix that i found and report if it works...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Lag dialer fix WORKS

LED Notifications - WORK

Now this is just awsome rom for me!

Hooah to t3chg33k :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
Is there a way to back the apps with the right settings up and get them back later on another ROM? I want to try this ROM but I'm tired of installing everything again and setting it all up again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
OMG you did not do that..... Ofcourse there is a way, always.

1. Titanium Backup - recommended

2. My backup Pro

3. Many other but try titanium Apk+Data saved on sd, then batch restore on any rom = fantastic (strange u didnt see that till now) :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
I have Titanium Backup, but what do I do then? The middle tab called back up? And then?

How do I make the full backup of the apps and settings?

Thank you for answering my questions :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
NP, bro!

When you opet TB hit Menu hard key, then Batch, then you will see Backup all user apps, hit RUN before it, thats it.

When you want restore, you go to Batch again and choose RUN Restore missing apps with data, voila..... ;)

For sms, mms, system settings, contacts and so on you choose MyBackup Pro, its very simple. Though i dont recommend you to backup contacts with it, i dont need it because i sync with google anyway but you can try if you want.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Karl.A.C:
Again I thank you for this incredible ROM, just keep using version 1.2, is fantastic as it all works without any problems
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Also with 1.3 here, where is our Developer, not a word for long time :confused: :cowboy:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
Using this ROM now. Probably the best ROM for Xperia Neo out there. So thank you. It's unfortunately a bit slower than's JJ's Hybrid but you can't have everything.

But why can't I remove some apps like ES File Explorer and Adobe Flash Player. It isn't even possible with Titanium.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
You should be able, those are system apps, maybe try System app remover or something...... :good:

And yes, rom is very nice! :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
Can you please provide the link to the dialer lag fix?

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

I managed to delete this on a strange way. First, I deleted them via Titanium, but they remained in the drawer. Then Play told me to update them. I did and deleted them after that in Play itself :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
How about you do some search? No?

I just copy/paste part of your question in search(in Neo section), and there it go, among search results I got what I searched for. Try it.

It had to be modified for SOS, i did it so here is the file (credits go to the maker mpiekp) i just changed it ;)

Put the script in init.d folder or for locked BL set script manger to run it at boot and set root...

Here is the original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729479

You could delete those apps l8r because they were not system apps anymore. :cowboy:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
I'm going to try this. Thank you :)

I'm having a problem with this ROM :confused: When I try to install more apps via Play, it says not enough space. I still have 130 MB free. I've searched and seen multiple solutions but none is working for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Happened to me just one time and just after i installed the rom, never again, reboot, let the rom settle and it will be ok. :highfive:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
The dialer lag fix doesn't work for me. You just put it on the SD, then move it to the right folder on your phone and reboot, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
Set the permissions like other files too. Keep in mind that it works second time you open dialer, first time always lags unfortunatelly. Try.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
Ah the permissions. Thank you! It worked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
v1.4 released. Posting it after testing for a week and everything seems fine. Check the change log and let the feedback come in. Hopefully you won't find any issues in which case this will be the final version of SOS ROM. ;)

I will try 1.4, I am very happy with the version 1.2
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SHIRI:
I am on 1.3 and will try as soon as i come from vacation, very happy user! Wipe or not?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CheeseDave:
slow camera

I'm new at ICS, but why is the camera so slow? Is it that slow in every rom? The recorded video is worse than youtube with 10kbyte/s connection and have to wait about 2 mins between 2 clips.

Btw it has way too many programs to be "Simply Optimised Stock"

Still a good rom, but maybe I should go back to GB
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] t3chg33k:
All the changes are in the system partition, so you should be fine without wiping the other partitions. However, the update script wipes both system and data partitions, so I would suggest that you either take a nandroid backup and restore the data partition or delete the data partition command from the update script.

The camera is slow with image stabilizer enabled and this is an issue with all ROMs using the stock camera. The processing of HD videos is not the fastest, though I suppose optimising the camera for quality might have added a bit to the delay.

As far as apps go, only bloatware apps have been removed while retaining GAPPS, essential system apps and widgets that work without Sony home. Among the added apps are a file manager and couple of apps that are required for customizing the boot menu and Nav buttons. Perhaps including the MIUI Permission app was a mistake as I don't think it works, but other than that I think it is pretty much optimised.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
MiUi Permission works :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wonderstivi:
I've installed the rom and the Sony Home, which is excellent. Is there any way to bring back the old stock emoticons? My wife wants to know...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] palimatix:
Sorry to say but MIUI stock messaging app don't support those emoticons, except the symbols likes. for that i might have to go for alternate messaging apps in the play store
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BluesRebel:
The messaging and dialer apps are too slow in this ROM. I've installed the ICS calendar app (better) and the ICS messaging app from Play (like the ones on the Galaxy Nexus) to replace the ones in the ROM. The only thing left is the ICS dialer/contacts app. Just can't find one.
