Default Best ROM for Xperia S?

What's the best ROM available atm? I've just bought the phone and I'm looking to flash something nice onto it

By 'best' I mean stable, best battery life and as clean as possible with no bloatware.

Could you please provide a tutorial on how to do it as well?

All help appreciated and thanks in advance!

See the dev section, and you have sticky thread that will help for all things related to flashing etc....
And for the best rom, I don't test anyone so can't say but I think you'll have to test them before find the best for you.

put on .73, root it, the fastest way for me is this:

- flash stock .73 (the one for your zone is right)
- unlock bootloaders
- flash doomkernel (autorootting kernel)
- boot and check root.
- flash stock kernel (unzip .ftf and flash kernel.elf)

once you have a yourcountryrootted .73 you can
- remove all the bloatware you don't need
- replace systemUi and Framework to get the very usefull toogle bar that i missed much from my old Samsung SGS1
- if you want replace semccamera

here you got your PERSONAL rom. as i got mine !

(this way to root is my personal way, that's becouse you can't make a prerooted img of .73 italian as you can't mount it as loopback partition... btw is better than the prerooted roms, just becouse you don't need to download megs and megs...)


Just as note... i don't blame doomkernel about anything... just i prefer to have the stock kernel becouse i use my phone also for business purposes and i need 100% sure stability, and i didn't got time to test doomkernel...
