I want to install a ROM which has the best customization options of the UI and a kernel which has the best performance.
Currently I'm on Xperia Ultimate HD rom with Ultima ICS kernel.
Was that the best choice ?

Does anyone know if it's possible to have the Stock Sony ICS and have the GB wifi module flashed to it? I'm asking because when I updated my mk16a I lost the Access Point functionality and it is very important for me to have it. I really love ICS but I had to go back to GB because of this issue. Thanks in adavnce!
in fact, is the kernel for arc /s work on xperia pro?

Hello, nice post . Really I test all ROM and use many of them, like Arconium, CM7 and XperiaMod also I love to test different kernel. Actually I want to test all ICS ROM, but at the moment I´m testing IceLite ICS.
se tweaked, then ICS arconium, now going back to se tweaked
At the moment IceLite.

Hello everyone..I've recently bought this new xperia arcS and Installed ICS using update centre...the phone was working really great before the updgrade..there was no lag..but..after installing ics...it has started to lag a lot..i can hardly play games like temple run without any lag....I'm still a noob in android..what should I do now?would be really grateful if you give me suggestions..thanks
It's a problem with sony's ics. You can't do much.

ics really sucks.....in order to improve your phone, install a custom kernel and then a custom rom...(best setup..doomkernel v22 with jj's hybrid)
or revert back to gb(what i have done) and install doomkernel and acronium 4 for a superb performance

I just rooted my Arc S this weekend after having it for a week. I've already instaleed two roms! :laugh:
I'm using Sparta Charge (ICS) with advanced stock rom and I find it to be very stable and very fast.
Best thing to do is just try a few and see what suits you and your phone! happy flashing! :good:
bu t i looking to try JB i really like aokp (aosp) style..i already thought to change for a nexus because of that...but our developers are sooo damn good
best combination i have tested is :
for GB : arconium 8.2 + doomkernelv22
for ICS : xperia ultimate HD 1.0 + advanced stock kernel
great performance and battery life
test it :good:
hey guyz,
i am using sony ericsson xperia arc s (LT18i). current OS android gingerbread 2.3.4. when i connected to pc companion it showed an update. but i heard that ICS is not suitable for xperia arc s. there are some prb with updating arc s to ICS. i mean after updating arc s to ICS there occurs some bugs related or other problem after updating xperia arc s. so can anyone tell me in details. lyk wat are the disadvantages of updating arc s to ICS.
thank u.....
Well stock ICS is pretty bad and laggy so you can look for custom roms like CM... Sony didn't make a very good ICS update even though they released it early. I recommend custom roms However if you want to keep your BL locked, there are roms that are for you too just search and you shall find

I'm assuming your phone's bootloader is locked (which is normal), so here's 2 roms that are pretty popular, based on ics, and makes your phone run like dual core
Jelly Sandwhich
Xperia Ultimate HD

I agree with lofty, the stock ICS .587 is working great. Very stable and everything works 100%. My own experience with custom roms and super duper extremely fast scripts is also that they create more problems and makes your phone unstable or cause other unexepected behaviors.
It is an "old" phone with single core and no super scripts or custom roms will make up for the single core and low memory. And yet it is my preffered phone on .587 even compared to my wifes experia S.
I have no issues with the stock rom. I updated andreo libs (gpu drivers)
Now the rom is even more faster

It is not as smooth as GB for me. Fairly laggier, do you guys agree?
+1, had been using stock Ics and custom roms for sometime then back to arconium gb. It's still the best rom for my arc S.
I'm using 587 fw on my Neo and is running very smooth ( almost like GB) but it is almost unusable for hard games. But i'm not using it for gaming, i'm using it more for media, and with the latest apps from Xperia T, is awesome. So if you want to use it more for gaming, stay with Gingerbread, otherwise upgrade to ICS because IMO is way better than Gingerbread. BTW, i've tried almost every custom rom, and always i've returned to stock, because it's simply the best.

Stock ICS .587 is excellent. There are a lot more features in it than in GB, I didn't notice any speed difference between GB and ICS other than the Google voice search and Recent apps (hold menu button) take a bit longer to start up the first time (they are quick after that).
I would recommend rooting ICS using this guide: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
Rooting will allow you to run an app from the Play Store which can uninstall those pesky bloatware apps.
And if you suppercharge ICS it's even better - even if you only supercharge 50%!!!!

It's laggy thanks to bloatware and not being fully optimized. Custom ROMs and/or tweaking at your own will remove lag problem!

Hmm not really. Maybe in some games... Just root, de-bloatware, update adreno libs and install supremacy script, and the GB smoothness is there

Where can i find other compatible roms that i could flash using Cwm5
Most stock based GB ROMs are compatible with locked boot loaders. Just look at it this way if it doesn't require a new kernel, its compatible unless it says its not for your model I.e. you have a r800i and its for a r800x. Also some ICS ROMs now work on stock kernel..

ahh ok thanks! but are there any ICS or JB roms that doesn't require a custom kernel?
I shall try to search for it myself too :
Why don't you just unlock your boot loader? Quick and easy. If you need a guide,they're all over the place. But I don't think there's a stock JB for stock kernel, but there is for ics
