Ive not had any issues with it. Never tried a backup / restore, if you have issues, drop a note in the CWM thread.

Id recommend the TWRP kernel instead if your on a unlocked bootloader. See how that goes. Not tried a backup or restore on that either.

If you get bootloops, best of making a thread in the Q+A, with the details of the issue, kernel etc. :D

Excellent job! Boot takes less than 6 seconds and speed is fast. Will test battery soon.

Edit: Found something. Take a look at the screenshot. Notice how Astro and Jetpack Joyride needs more space for their title. Hope this can be fixed without removing the 6x4 icons.

Re: [ROM][V LT25i][ICS FW .10] Xperia V Supersport ICS V2 [02 FEB]

Just a question, the 6x4 app tray will cut off application titles if they span over two lines. Would you prefere 5x4 with auto rotation?

I will replace it with the 5x4 app tray with auto rotation. I do think it's a bit easier on the eyes with no so many icons.

The user still has the option to replace their app tray from any of the configurations listed by ThillianC. :D

Feedback always appreciated.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dmbardal:
Thanks for the ROM!

Works great. Now.. bring us kernel with CWM! ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cire1980:
I was trying out this ROM.

I installed the ROM according to the instructions.

After getting into the home screen and setting up Google account, I rebooted the phone.

I got into the triangle sign with the screwdriver and spanner after the "SONY' sign at boot. I waited for over 10mins before I decided to pull out the battery and try again. In the second time, the phone didn't boot after 10mins.

I decided to do a restore and so flash a kernel with TWRP and got into recovery. However, for some reason, the SD card can't be mounted and so I have no access to the backup file.

I then turned the phone off using TWRP and used flashtool to flash another stock ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2092287

After flashing the ROM successfully, I unplugged the device and turned my phone on.

Now, after seeing the "SONY" logo at boot, I got back to the triangle sign with the tools inside.

It's been over 15 minutes already.

May I know what I should do now to restore the functionality of the V, and what could I have done wrong when I rebooted after successfully getting into home screen using V3?

Update:

I flashed a kernel with TWRP and got into recovery. Then I wiped and flashed Supersport V1. After successfully flashing V1, I rebooted and got back to the triangle sign again.

Is this a brick?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bjohv052:
Re: [ROM][V LT25i][JB + ICS] Xperia V Supersport JB + ICS [08 FEB]

First, try leaving the triangle on for a long time, like over night.

If that doesn't work, re-lock your bootloader and use SUS to re-flash stock rom. I've done it, and it works.

Re: [ROM][V LT25i][JB + ICS] Xperia V Supersport JB + ICS [08 FEB]

Just wait for triangle sign to pass on its.own accord. It will eventually pass. Leave it up to an hour if you have to. My dad's Xperia T did the same thing when updating to Jelly Bean using the Sony official tool.

All the triangle means is that it is performing file system changes. Just wait until it boots. It will boot eventually. Quite a few people have been using the ROM without any issues.

Re: [ROM][V LT25i][JB + ICS] Xperia V Supersport JB + ICS [08 FEB]

I can confirm this waiting trick is working. Got a brick with the SUS tool myself, ending in me returning the device to the shop. Got it back, because the warranty was void ( ofc ) and installed SuperSportV2.. My guess it lyes with the phones themself... Atleast some of them ;)

Firsty @ Sony Xperia V Supersport JB V3
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cire1980:
Oh!

So the long time is in terms of hours and probably overnight?

I thought the waiting time refers to somewhat the first boot time.

Anyway, I just used recovery to wipe the internal storage on top of the factory reset and dalvik cache.

I successfully installed V1 this way.

I will try to flash V3 tonight before I sleep. Will leave that triangle sign overnight.

Thanks guys!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pow3rflow3r:
I followed your steps for installing JB, but I could not flash the ROM.

I did the following:

Copy ROM / ZIP to Internal or external SD Card

Power down phone

Flash the following kernel via Flashtool - [KERNEL][FXP205_LT25i _CM10.1with TWRP2.4.1][UPDATED] using flashtool / fastboot.

Power on phone

During initial start-up, press volume down when pink LED is lit to enter TWRP - You must be quick!, don't let the phone boot!

Perform a full backup!

Perform a full / factory and dalvik cache wipe (always recommended, but applying without a full wipe should not cause any issues, make sure you have a backup first!)

Install the zip from the SD Card.

Here I got a "unable to open zip file".

Error in flashing zip

Failed

Any help would be welcome.

My bootloader is unlocked.

Update1:

This seems not to work for me (yet).

I did everything as described;

Copy ROM / ZIP to Internal or external SD Card

Power down phone

Flash the following kernel via Flashtool - [KERNEL][FXP205_LT25i _CM10.1with TWRP2.4.1][UPDATED] using flashtool / fastboot.

Power on phone

During initial start-up, press volume down when pink LED is lit to enter TWRP - You must be quick!, don't let the phone boot!

Perform a full backup!

Perform a full / factory and dalvik cache wipe (always recommended, but applying without a full wipe should not cause any issues, make sure you have a backup first!)

Install the zip from the SD Card

DO NOT SELECT REBOOT or REBOOT the phone when the install finishes, as you have a CM10 kernel installed, the device will not boot.

Power down your phone, you can select 'back' in TWRP until you get to the home screen, select 'Reboot' and then 'Power Off''

Flash the following Jelly Bean kernel via Flashtool - [Kernel][V LT25i] Stock + Insecure + Debuggable [ICS + JB]

Here I downloaded the JB kernel, but when I rebooted I was stuck in a "boot loop" continuously rebooting.

It tryed it a second time, but then the same problem.

Any advice??

The only thing is missing is a 14 notification toggle so therefore this would a request to include a 14 notification toggle would be nice.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dmbardal:
Try redownloading the ROM and also put it on your SD-Card aswell.

I had the same problem, and it was he .zip that was faulty.

I redownloaded, put the .zip on both places (SD and Internal).

Then tried internal, still no go. Tried SD-Card. Worked.

And I'm just assuming this will work for you aswell :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pow3rflow3r:
I only have/had a problem afterwards with a boot loop (see my updated post).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Instead of flashing the FTF Kernel, flash Xperia.V.Insecure.Debuggable.9.1.A.0.490 elf file from my Kernel thread, and see if you get bootloop, I have not personally tested flashing the FTF, I have tested flashing the elf, and all is well.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pow3rflow3r:
I did flash the Xperia.V.Insecure.Debuggable.9.1.A.0.490 elf file from your thread. I wanted to try and flash the other kernel, but I am can not turn USB debugging on, cus I can not switch on the phone. Must also charge the phone, only 1% battery left.

Tomorrow I will do a recovery (I already flashed the FXP kernel when I did a backup) and flash the ICS kernel and just do flash your ICS V2 ROM to see how that one is doing.

It needs to be working tomorrow because its my girlfriends phone and tomorrow night I will be leaving for 2 weeks.

Maybe any other advice?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cire1980:
I suggest you download the ROM again and redo the steps.

It seems that the ROM might be corrupted while the download is carried out.

Do let your GF know about the triangle sign thing.

I just flashed V3 without any problems.

Now is to do the reboot which I intend to leave overnight so that whatever caused the triangle sign to appear while booting up can finish whatever it's doing.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pow3rflow3r:
Ok I am gonna download the ROM again and try it one more time. I can never hurt.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
It should realistically take more than 30 minutes. But to be safe, leave overnight.

I noticed your post in the general thread. To be clear, when flashing FTF files, you need to hold the volume down button, and select 'flashmode'. LED should be green when flashing an FTF.

When flashing a .img or .elf file, press volume up, connect the phone, and select 'fastboot' mode, LED should be blue in this scenario.

Regards
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pow3rflow3r:
Yes I had no problem flashing the .elf kernels with the blue LED. But I wanted to try the .ftf kernel to see if that one was working.

I rebooted my phone last night before I sleep and saw the triangle sign.

I left it overnight and now it's working again!

I haven't really explored the ROM yet, but will do so later. So far it's nice.

- Booted into recovery and restored backup.

- I again flashed the Xperia.V.TWRP.Kernel.9.0.1.D.0.10.elf back for TWRP.

- I booted the phone connected it to the laptop. Deleted the ROM on the phone.

- Copyed the "new" downloaded Xperia.V.Supersport.JB.V1.zip ROM to the phone (downloaded it again as some of you suggested that maybe the .zip was corrupted).

- Switched off phone, booted into recovery.

- Did a factory and dalvik cache wipe (dont have to wipe anything else??)

- Installed ROM.

- Turned phone off.

- Flashed the Xperia.V.Insecure.Debuggable.9.1.A.0.490.elf kernel.

- Turned phone on.

And then I am stuck in a boot loop. Sony logo appears, goes away, get a black screen, it turns off, sony logo appears, get a black screen, it turns off, sony logo appears, .............

Can only get out of it by removing the battery.

Now I just flashed your Xperia.V.Supersport.V2 ROM with the Xperia.V.TWRP.Kernel.9.0.1.D.0.10.elf kernel.

This seems to be working fine untill now.

Thnx a lot for your work with these ROM's and thnx a lot for responding.

Maybe you (or some one else) know something else or see something that I did not do correct.

I still have about 12 hrs before leaving to the airport.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
@pow3rflow3r / everyone

Please use the CM 10.1 TWRP 2.4.1 elf kernel to perform your wipes, factory reset and install of the ROM from HERE.

Do not use a stock based TWRP kernel for the initial flash or wipes, it will cause your boot loops.

During testing found that the cleanest way to avoid any issues is to flash the ROM with the CM 10.1 kernel with TWRP.

I did use the CM10.1 based on FXP205, FXP206 should work ok.

@funiewski

Do you still have FXP205 10.1 TWRP kernel available for download?

Regarding the forces closes after installing the APK's. Were full wipes performed before the install?

Ensure that you only re-install the APK's AFTER the second boot has completed, not on the first boot. Something about the file system changes after the spanner / triangle symbol causes these apps to force close, so please only re-install after the second boot.

There have been issues reported due to the way jelly bean emulates the internal and external SD card, you will now see

ext_card - EXTERNAL

sdcard0 - INTERNAL

sdcard1 - EXTERNAL

Some users solved issues by formatting their internal SD card.

For those with optimization or other issues.

Can you backup your contents from your internal SD card, to your external SD card or computer.

Use your phone to perform an internal SD card format / erase, or use TWRP to perform the internal SD card erase before installing the ROM from scratch.

And then copy your contents back.

Jelly Bean install method updated!

Massive thanks to vdsirotkin for the Jelly Bean Kernel!!

Install JB

***Unlocked Bootloader Install***

***Always perform a full backup first***

Copy ROM / ZIP to Internal or external SD Card

Power down phone

Flash the Jelly Bean FTF using flashtool

Leave the phone off once the flash has completed.

Fastboot the following kernel via Flashtool - [Kernel][JB]Stock Kernel + CMW 6

Power on phone

During start-up, press the 'Power ON / OFF' button when pink LED is lit to enter CWM 6.

Perform a full backup!

Perform a full / factory and dalvik cache wipe (always recommended, but applying without a full wipe should not cause any issues, make sure you have a backup first!)

Install the zip from the SD Card

Start your phone up.

Reboot into home screen

Reboot phone another 2 times for the tweaks and OS to settle

- No more triangles observed on second boot

- No more force closes on the album or walkman application!

Regarding the 'optimising application' message on every boot, I will look into this.

For those with locked bootloaders, follow this method, and just use my zip / ROM in place of the one quoted.

Enjoy! :D

Just run me by what your actually doing, exact steps, what you would expect, and what is actually occurring.

There were some minor bugs when flashing a ROM using a CM 10 based Kernel.

But now that we have a kernel which is based on the stock firmware which includes CWM, it has fixed some small issues for me as well, such as Google drive documents not opening.

The updated install method should fix all these niggly issues. SO in short, yes, it should resolve it, im just interested in what your trying to achieve :D.

Check the CWM JB kernel thread, there seems to be mixed issues with the CWM kernel and mounting. I had this issues, i just reflashed the CWM kernel, and all was ok, i did use a different laptop though. Does your phone charge with the USB cable plugged in when on the CWM kernel?

Fastboot the stock .490 kernel from Here

Copy and paste the ROM to your SD card

Fasboot the CWM kernel back to install the ROM.

If you still get issues with mounting selecting MSC on your phone, reflash the CWM kernel, or, go back to to the stock kernel without CWM to get SD mount back.

Let us know how it goes.

Reflashed stock-CWM-kernel with no joy.. Went from charging with no sdcard mount to no charging and no sdcard mount.

Reflashed stock-CWM-kernel, this time everything works..

Strange..

Have also noticed that after the sdcard has been ejected by the computer and disconected with the notification on the phone, apps such as Titanium backup can't access the sdcard, even though it should be mounted..
