I think I found out why temple run sucks for some people.
My observations on about 3-4 GB ROMs including stock and cm7.
Without OC,

->Chainfire 3d + temple run.= laggy hell.
->Untouched ROM + temple tun = smoothness.

Can someone please confirm this for me?

Agree about Xperia Ion and eve Xperia S releasing later than both should've been.And use of gingerbread.They should've released ION right after mwc and they might've made a fortune and stole some of GS3 buyers too,instead they failed big time buy thinking to release it later so Xperia S won't get hit.

So they gonna release Ion too on gb,if yes that's bizarre and stupid.Even Xperia S should've been released with ICS,big FAIL that it came with gb and its getting ICS update after 2011 portfolio Arc S,Neo V & Ray.I am grateful that sony gave us ICS first but in a business point of view they should upgrade their newest flagship phones first.

And the next dumb thing is they only announced GX at Japan :/ and no release date for rest of the world,GX can be the light they need if they do it correctly.If they release GX now to compete with S3 I'm pretty sure sony will win cos S3 was not up to the expectations of most people comparing to S2,note.I mean come on other than few hardcore users I don't think most of users even want a quad core in their phone with outdated hardware like 8mp cam,crappy design(even comparing to S2).I mean come on tell me any of us gonna use a smartphone as a complete replacements for pc's ? for a quad core I got my i5 760.Why would I need a quad core in train,bus or park ? and contrary to all of S3's down side GX pawns all(except maybe be processor,but that's not a very big issue).But hey Sony gonna mess this chance too by releasing GX too late :/

Sony/Sony Ericsson always missed the deadline when it comes to releasing the phones at the right time,starting from maybe I dunno W995i.

Guys what is sim lock?? Does it mean I cant use any other sim that's included.

And how does it work. ?

Sorry for the stupid question. I'm new to all this.

It means that you can only use the SIM of the carrier you purchased the handset from. Other SIM cards shouldn't work.

For in-depth info here you go:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock

Also for us it means you can't access fastboot and unlock the bootloader the normal way.

if you have bought your device from a carrier on a contract basis...it is sim locked by the carrier and you cant use any other service on that device or boot any custom kernel as the bootloader or fastboot is locked by the carrier...this is a general flaw of devices imported or bought abroad...fortunately...there are some methods to unlock it...either request the service provider to unlock it and get the key in leu of some fee...or you may get it unlocked by someone online...that too in leu of some fee.
i dont know any free methods...never needed...but if you search the forum...you may find the solution.

wheather you keep your carrier or not...it doesnt matter...you must unlock your device to get fastboot working...do you reside in india or abroad? you have to request the unlock key from your service provider or search for the way in the forums...i never bought any phone on contract so dont know much about it.
btw...i too use idea and bsnl but they are prepaid...ha ha ha.

    This is nothing personal pandemic, but you do protest to much


    I do remeber that your first ROM was just a release of Wolfbreaks GB ROM for the x10 that you made a few UOT kitchen changes to (and maybe a few buildprop changes as well) and you had to withdraw that rom...


    Listen folks. Android is open source.....everything everyone does is open to use, all you have to do is say thanks, and there is a button for that.


    if you agree, i have a donate button...LAUGH MY ****ING ARSE OFFF


    EDIT

    why is arse allowed and **** is not..they are both swear words?
