Of course it does, but if you were using night-elf kernel, you will have to flash your ROM again

Thanks,
But why to reflash the ROM???
I remember i never reflashed the ROM another if i flashed another compatible kernel over a ROM. And i never had a problem. Even after flashing stock kernel over some custom one.

And neither did any dev state it to reflash the ROM, to my knowledge.

EDIT: I came to know of the reason after reading the original kernel thread. No need to reply. Thnaks and sorry.

Reflash the kernel, wipe cache first then data and dalvik. then flash the Rom. If still not, try fix permissions Try it and tell what happens

Btw what kernel are you using?
Try night elf RC2 ICS BETA or sharduls own kernel.

Kernel update

My kernel has been updated to restore stock WiFi modules, so that it can be flashed over Night-elf's kernel without losing WiFi..

Updated kernel can be downloaded here. Those who are using v2 kernel without issues do not need to update.

I just downloaded and diff'ed it..
It is exactly the same as Nordic one.. the only differences are the build.prop info about device, and a couple of useless apps like WhatsApp and trial McAfee suite. Also the free music app has been removed.

Anyway, nothing worth an update :(

    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

    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

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

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

    -> 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.

    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.
