[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Devo1982:
DISCLAIMER - IF YOU GET EATEN BY A SHARK AFTER FLASHING MY ROM IT'S NOT MY FAULT. BUT IF YOUR PHONE GOES CRAZY AND ATTACKS YOU AFTER INSTALLING MY ROM THAT'S ALSO NOT MY FAULT. IF HOWEVER, YOUR PHONE BECOMES A USELESS PAPERWEIGHT AFTER INSTALLING MY ROM, THEN YES YOU'VE GUESSED IT... NOT MY FAULT!

Not sure if anyone is interested but I have created a VERY lightweight version of JB 6.2.A.0.400 for Xperia GO. I basically took the original Sony ftf file and extracted the system elements. I then removed ALL of the bloatware (and I mean ALL, plus a few apps I probably shouldn't like chrome, gmail, google talk etc etc) and added ROOT (superuser).

Introducing SlimBean v1.3+​

Included features/apps:

Stock-based

Pre-rooted

Totally de-bloated (probably too much for some people)

SD remount fix implemented

Pwng3's Phantom kernel (v1.8 power saver)

JDWalker's 'tweaked' build.prop file (v1.8 for XGO)

Ad-free hosts file

Custom charging animation

ESFileExplorer, Antutu benchmark & No-frills CPU control

PLEASE NOTE- Bravia 2 engine and 'Whitemagic' brightness are NOT incLuded. I see them as unnecessary and add little value. If you want to add them yourselves then follow instructions in relevant posts in the forum.

This is a very smooth, battery-friendly system...

I am currently using this with no-frills CPU set to 800mhz max, 200mhz min, interactive governor and CFQ scheduler.

THIS IS THE EXACT FIRMWARE I AM RUNNING ON MY PHONE (XPERIA GO ST27i) WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. I CANNOT SAY IF THIS WILL WORK ON PHONES WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADERS

Prerequisites:

Sony Xperia GO (ST27i)

CWM recovery or similar for flashing of zip file

Unlocked bootloader

Instructions to flash:

Copy zip file to SD card

Reboot to recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache

Format cache, data, system

Wipe dalvik cache

Flash zip file

Once "Flashed Successfully" appears on your screen the update is complete.

I would advise you hard reset your phone (vol up + power button) until you feel 3 vibrations.

From here I would then flash Pwng3's phantom kernel using fastboot (fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.elf)

Initial 2 boots following the flash may seem to take a while but subsequent boots are fine after that.

Credits:

JDWalker for his superb build.prop tweaks/file

Pwng3 for the excellent phantom kernel

Sony for original files

I am not pretending to be a guru when it comes to roms. Nor am I trying to rip anyone off with this. I simply wanted a stock-based firmware with everything that I never use removed, build.prop tweaks implemented, ad-free and root added. This is the result of that and I thought I would make it available to anyone who wants to try it :cowboy:
