Yeah, I used Meteos too. The issue was that my phone was already partitioned to 3Gb app space and whenever I flashed it, that's what it used, then when I repartitioned it with Meteos again, down to 1.5Gb app space, I had to re-format the internal SD space under Windows. That was when things went wrong.

It ruined that setup, but flashing it again once already partitioned at 1.5Gb worked fine. I'm running Xperia C V2 and still setting it up, but I installed Viper audio, Xposed, Gravitybox and a heap of other modules. Running ok still.

Xperia UI was nice but harder to use than my old setup. I installed Holo Launcher HD and that helps a lot. It simplifies operation. It feels more logical.

I still have Walkman and the Sony soundFX apps in there, plus Viper audio, Poweramp and Neutron so will have a play and see what really does sound good, but when I ran the Ludoo ROM with Walkman, my Neutron-Viper setup blew it away. There was no contest. I still expect Neutron-Viper to win, even on the Sony port, although it should sound better than it did with Ludoo ROM because the Xperia ROM has the proper Sony sound FX.

Considering that I didn't really like operating the phone with Sony launcher running, it removes half of the reason to run this ROM and I would still be better off running Zound V2 or 2.5. My son is liking the Zound V2 setup and my tweaks have it running sweet, plenty of free RAM, responsive, better than stock.

I'll continue to play with the Xperia port, if only to answer the audio quality battle for myself. Once I finish setting it up and streamline it, I'll do a CWM backup, maybe do Zound 2.5 then and backup. Could switch between them as long as I keep the same partitioning, and lets face it, 1.5Gb of apps is HEAPS.....

I won't get near using it all. The phone would be too laggy.

Edit:

A quick listen was all it took.....

Neutron craps on anything else in music players for sound quality. I'm going to strip out the Sony audio stuff and see if that breaks it.

If you try Neutron and can't hear the difference, clean out the wax, lol, or get a better set of buds.

You can leave the Sony SoundFX in there and not worry about Viper audio, it's still better than Walkman, but I want the whole thing :P

By the way, the Xperia port is very nice. If you want a ROM that is pretty and complete, this works great, but if you want to mod it heaps, possibly better off with a more AOSPish ROM. That being said, I'm stripping out a heap of stuff and making it run a lot better. I think it will run as good as Zound once done. Removed Walkman, a whole heap of plugins etc and Sony sound enhancements, still running :) Back to 350Mb of free ram, 1Gb of apps installed already. This might just work out ok.

Edit:

This has worked out well so far. The Xperia C V2 ROM accepts a lot of modification and Miljenko deserves congratulations for making this great port :cool::good::D

Whilst I'm not using the Sony launcher due to it's lack of customisation option, I have Holo Launcher HD (with Pro option) and Smart Launcher Pro both set up nicely to see which I like best.

I couldn't run SL Pro on the modded stock ROM because it had widget issues, so always ran Holo. I'll run it a week and see how it goes, and also Zound V2 fix3 on my son's which is also very nice.
