Thank you both for your suggestions!

Cache wipe did the trick for the app installs.

I still can not set up my exchange account. Is it maybe because the respective server is not set to accept devices with ICS?
Do you know anything I could try out? I of course googled for this issue, but I did not get lucky.

more info on which service you are using will help OP to investigate further and did you try setting the same account on any other rom , did it work ??

I have been using this ROM for last few day its awesome & fast but there is one problem its starts getting lag when we use it for longer period as i have been used it for last 7 day but yerterday i ahev to format it again as there were not many apps running but whn i checked the running apps & memory i got only 70mb memory left with only or 7 apps running ..... and it got very slow .... so i have to re-format it again ......

So either its ROM problem as i haven't tried any other ICS modified ROM so please look at the problem ....

ya forgot to mention i was using your ICS v2 ROM with your modified stock kernel v3 .....

but still great work .......

note: i am using apex launcher and touchpal contacts.

Yah it is normal:)

I suggest to disable some apps which you are not using..
It will save more ram..

I suggest to use supercharge service with this rom

And run superclean.sh every 5-7 days..

I'm using this rom almost 3 weeks and i didn't experience any lags or something
It's so smooth and fast

Exactly as bluestricker_21 says!!

I have kept two scripts on schedule:
Superclean.sh - weekly schedule 2:00 AM on Sunday
Reboot.sh - daily 2:00 AM except Sunday..

I am attaching those scripts

Hello.

First, thanks for the ROM.
Second, the NEO patch is only for Xperia NEO, or for Xperia NEO V too?.

Thanks.

What is the right procedure to flash again this ICS?
If you can tell me in 1.2.3. order. TNX a lot in advance!

    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?

    v4 - based on official ICS 4.0.4
    Download (Mediafire - 164 MB) + [ Update 1 Neon OR Update 1 Blue ]
    + Supercharged services (Details here)
    + Optional apps pack
    + Optional Restore framework without onscreen buttons (New Link)
    + Optional Neo Patch <- NOT for Neo V
    + LED notification fix
    New-Icon.gif
    (Supercharged) (Credits arcatarc and me)

    New-Icon.gif

    New-Icon.gif

    Want better battery life? See here


    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)
    • Change default keyboard skin (optional)
    • Neo patch (optional) for Neo owners
    -> 30-steps volume + smooth scrolling spinner mod(credits BBangSik)

    -> Statusbar widget, ICS themed keyboard, Auto-rotate home (credits hansip87)

    -> My performance tweaks

    -> Themer friendly (Only selected system apps ODEXed, framework not ODEXed, hence easy to install mods and themes)



    v3 Link will be back after fixing the installer issues some people are facing!


    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
    - dalvik-cache moved to cache.
    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.
