[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
October 29, 2015: Hi guys. Long time since I have been to Aoba thread. I got a pm asking me to post this rom, since the links have expired. This is the only one that I found. It may not be pure black, but this is one of the latest (at that time). Enjoy.

December 19: Update including improvements in Honami Camera. All previous updates are also included

From now on, you have 2 options in Honami Camera: 1. Start it with hardware key, and you will have Superiour Auto. 2. Start it with Camera icon, and you will have Manual mode with all settings available.

Nov 22: I have received a lot of PMs with requests to incorporate all updates into the rom to make it easier for newcomers to download the latest version of the rom. Here it is, the latest Aoba PureBlack with Honami Camera

Download link:

All updates including flashlight, battery life, led control, sms counter, CPU control, dock, dynamic boot animation, power widget and black volume panel are in.

This is for new users who come from different roms.

Nov 20: See post #312 for Update: CPU Control and SMS Counter added in Settings

Since I prefer rolling updates, meaning that users don't have to reinstall the roms and lose their apps and settings, it could be confusing for newcomers as to what to download. Therefore, I have provided clear directions and links in post #298. Basically, you have an option of 2 roms here: one with honami camera and another without. See post #298.

Nov 18: Good news. Black volume control (theme changeable) is here. The rom is now 100%+ black. Just flash in CWM without wiping/resetting anything and hit the Thank You (me) button. :)

Nov 16: Wifi Dual Band Update

As we know, our device has dual band WIFI. However, this option is not enabled out of the box. Here is the fix. Just flash in CWM without data reset. From now on, you will have an option in settings/wifi/advanced for wifi frequency bands (see last picture at the bottom). Enjoy and don't forget that Thank You button.

Scrap that as ION's hardware does not support 5 Ghz (verified in White Paper) . So, you can have settings for auto/manual, but the phone won't work on 5. Too bad.

Nov 14: Rom Update Via CWM. Zip in Attachment at the bottom of this post.

CHANGES:

Added Led control in Custom settings

Added Dock settings (several settings when phone is placed in Sony dock)

Added Power widget

Added Dynamic boot animation

Just flash in CWM and wipe dalvik cache. No need for factory reset.

Nov 12: See post #147 for a major battery life fix

See post #136 for camera flashlight fix

Here is Aoba_PureBlack_Ultimate Privacy with Honami Camera. See pictures. No other changes. Keep in mind that the original camera is separate and also works.

All resolutions but 2mp work. ISO is set to auto. HDR works, video stabilizer works, burst mode works. Superior Auto and photo stabilizer don't work. If you touch SA, you will get black screen, if you touch photo stabilizer, you will get f/c, but unlike in eXistenS rom, you won't have to repeat the initial process, just exit and press camera again.

Download Link for Final Version with Honami Camera. You still need updates above.

Instructions:

1. Put camera widget on your home screen.

2. Press the Dinosaur

3. Press another Dinosaur on the left bottom corner

4. Choose manual and you are all set. From now on, you can start camera by pressing the single camera icon

Keep in mind, this is work in progress...
