Sorry, but few days of using your ROM is really slow...
Maybe It's because of Sony, but I've to change it for another one as fast as I can.
But great job.

I downloaded this row twice (v2), flashed kernel, wiped data and installed it.
First notice:
- progressbar in CWM goes over 100% when installing (is it supposed to?)
- it doesn't boot

I've waited more than 10 minutes and it is stuck at kernel boot screen (SONY). Same kernel does work with stock ICS, so problem must be with the zip archive?

Boy this is DAMMed fast ROM ever seen.

But with modified stock kernel do we have control on CPU or GPU i mean is there any chance to overclock it .....

Rest is working fine .

Have You read first post? Or modified kernel ramdisk first post? Rather not, because if You would, You'd know that overlocking isn't possible. There are not available final kernel sources do do such modification.

Does your performance pack for v1 do all performance tweaks listed in the change log for v2. I mean does the addon virtually make v1 a night elf compatible v2?

Coz my laptop is not working and I cannot flash any kernel. I'm on night-elf now and I want to flash this Rom.

    In continuation of the highly appreciated Spacious, smooth and light Gingerbread ROM, I present you the ICS version!!

    Works on Locked bootloader also as reported by FTW_260

    1. What is so special about this ROM?
    The main feature is 400 MB is free on /data for your apps!

    attachment.php


    This is the highest free on any custom ICS ROM for the Neo V.

    2. How is this made possible?
    a) This ROM has been ODEXed. Hence all dalvik files for system apk's are in the /system partition itself!
    b) Dalvik-cache has been moved to the /cache partition.

    3. Why ODEX the ROM?
    a) ODEX ROM's load up faster the first time
    b) ODEX'ed system apks do not create .dex files in dalvik-cache, hence size of dalvik-cache decreases. This is required so that there is enough room on the /cache partition for the dalvik-cache also.

    4. What are the features of this ROM?
    • Based on official stock ICS firmware for Neo V
    • Rooted and busybox (latest su binary and Superuser.apk)
    • 12 Notification toggles with QuickPanel app for editing them
    • Many bloatware apps removed
    • File manager (ES File explorer) added
    • My tweaks for better performance
    • UOT kitchen compatible

    5. Where to get this ROM?

    + Supercharged services (Details here)
    + Optional apps pack
    + Optional Restore framework without onscreen buttons (New Link)

    v2 - changelog on 2nd post
    Download (Mediafire - 176 MB) + Offmode charging fix
    Tip: Best if supercharged, steps here.


    6. How to install this ROM.
    1. Copy Downloaded files to SD card.
    2. Enter recovery by pressing the back key when you see the blue light with vibration.
    3. If you were not on stock/stock-based ROM, wipe Data is safer [ AFTER NANDROID BACKUP ]
    4. Install the ROM zip.
    5. Optionally install optional packs (open and delete whatever you dont want)
    6. Reboot to you new Spacious, Smooth and Lightwieght ROM :)


    7. Any disadvantages of ODEX'ed ROM?
    The only disadvantage is that you cannot install custom themes on the ROM.
    But, mind you, UOT kitchen can be used to change a lot of the UI.


    8. But why not use Link2SD or Dalvik2SD?
    It has its own problems, most important being io speeds from the card and problems when card is removed.


    10. Credits?
    hansip87 - for the status bar toggles
    muzontnt and umarian for ICS 404 toggles - thread here
    Sony - for ICS update ( and making wonderful firmware :) )
    and all Devs etc on XDA for making custom ROMs possible!

    Update!!

    Update: Spacious, Smooth and Light v3
    Based on Unofficial ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)


    Changelog:
    ---------------------------------------------
    -> Aroma installer options
    • Automatically detects sd-ext partition and offers Amarullz, Link2SD also
    • Default dalvik2cache if no sd-ext partition
    • On-screen keys mod (optional)
    • Sony specific widgets (optional)

    Important Notes:
    -----------------------------------------------
    -> Data wipe is recommended, otherwise boot-loops may occur.

    -> For sd-ext to work you will need night-elf kernel

    -> TAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!

    -> Dalvik2Cache is not recommended now unless you plan to install only 80-100 apps. If you want more, please use Amarullz or Link2SD.

    -> If you want it even lighter, run the attached script (windows or linux pc) and wipe cache, reboot ;)

    -> Please hit thanks on hansip87 and BBangSik threads also.

    Addons

    UOT Battery + Themes

    v4:
    - Xperia apps + music integrated
    - Supercharged services
    - LED on message/gmail fix - [credits arcatarc]
    - All previous goodness!

    v2:
    - Using modified stock kernel (better battery life)
    - New tweaks, makes the ROM fly :D
    - Supercharged services.jar (that means you can install supercharger script directly) - credits hansip87
    - ODEX'ed for saving /data space and smoothness

    Tip:
    - Only phone dialer lags (in all ICS stock and custom). My fix is to use another dialler. For me, Touchpal (mobile link) works without even a second of lag!!

    v1:
    - ODEX'ed for saving /data space and smoothness
    - dalvik-cache moved to cache.
    - removed many useless applications.
