Could you please elaborate us regarding the bloatware you removed?

IT is Generic firmware, so no bloatware here (only few apps which you can delete). Nothing more in system

Thanks Jozinek for the XPERIA Sola 6.0.B.3.162

So far I discover some improvement from .162,

1) Google Play, instead of .564 G.market
- No Astro file manager which doesn't important to me, I will remove it if any My 1st choice still ES Explorer.
- McAfee inside, my stock .564 no such McAfee. Anyway I will remove it too
- No WhatsApp, no different as .564 old WhatsApp need update
- No FourSquare, Anyway I will remove it too
- it seem much lesser unnecessary third party apps preinstalled from this .162

2) Battery temperature is much lower/better than stock .564 (as good as .576), especially when/after game/3g internet, I use Xperia Function Tester monitor it.
- if battery temperature lower the battery life is more stable, I suppose.

3) This .162 seem solve my charging indicator stay on/not disappear problem ( http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/40621 )

4) I'm using Sony Smart Headset with play/volume up down/call buttons, stock .564 need upgrade Liveware Manager version only can use the double/triple click play button for forward/backward songs, and this .162 solve this issue with .162 stock Liveware manager

5) When turn on screen & unlock screen, .162 seem more brightness than stock.
I need untick the auto brightness

6) Way better running memory management from stock rom.

7) Usage info settings, now can be disabled.
- its been hided inside settings/xperia and can't be disabled from stock rom

So far quite stable, 3G signals good, wifi good too.


After upgraded to .162, I did a factory restore include clean up internal SD, to make sure its fresh without any old app's data causing problem (the only backup I need to restore is phonebook contacts which in .vcf format )

Hi,

Yes, just make sure untick the "wipe data" inside flashtool.

does the kernel same with .564?? can i just root this fw using pre-root advanced stock kernel??

i thinf that root via flashing kernel is possible, if it not work, just flash back stock kernel and phone will be ok (without flashing holy firmware).

tnx.. will try.. downloading the fw.. rapidshare is slow as hell..


edit: successful rooting using KA Xperia SSpeed kernel v2..
