Instructions

patch for neo
- after finish flashing the rom, reboot into recovery
- flash custom zip & navigate to folder named -=codename_05=-
- select codename_L05_neo_patch.zip

walkman & volume+
- to really feel the different, use headphone
- open walkman, play your favourite music
- open volume+ > go to headset setting > enable audio modification > EQ Presets > select 'Beats Emulation'
- press home button to exit & enjoy it

odex script - optional
- use this wisely & with precaution
- flash custom zip & navigate to folder named -=codename_05=-
- select codename_L05_odexing.zip
- it will odex the rom (system/app & framework only, data partition are excluded)
- remember this, if you want to replace any apps that already included in the rom, add it before you flash this zip
- there is a risk of bootloop or even brick for lockbootloader

QuickPanel Setting
- disable brightness & flashlight on statusbar, it will slow down battery use in display
- also disable network widget, some user reported that it is not working

Spare Parts
- window animation > off
- transition animations > fast
- this will make it snappier

Recommended
- use QuickPic & Boat Browser
- it is faster & use less ram compare to stock one

Init.d support for stock kernel.
Couple of tweaks to performance.
Full Xperia S Apps.
Ondemanx is default governor, you can change to another by editing xbin/ scaling and etc/init.d/12modules if your a tinkerer or installing a GUI like nofrillscpu.

NOTES:- smartassV2 only works on 42 kernel for now and will cause a bootloop if used via the scripts on 62 kernel.
YOU HAVE BEEN EATEN WARNED. Volume plus is deleted on installing this pack as it conflicts with Xperia s music.
Edit:-
Since beats emulation is added the standard range of Xperia s Eq will not work, but clearbass does and works with beats emulation.
Working on a solution...,,,
Enjoy <

Updated the second post, just flash it if you already download it. It is an update just for this one, but i post it in 'themes & apps' section while waiting someone to confirm this lockbootloader version is working.

PS Store service is not available in my country..

Edit: It is not region related, just change some properties in build.prop to make it works

Yea, that is why i unlock my bootloader; to use custom kernel with more variable to play with.

Try this; PS pocket & PS store

Thanks, nice ROM. pretty fast and smooth.

mpiekp · Mar 16, 2012

PocketPS seems to open but the store has same error as reported on other thread, believe the solution is editing build.prop to impersonate a play
