What is the best ics ROM for NeoV?
I'm currently using cm9 but I need to have properly working video recording.
I should be fast as hell and fluent.
Please, answer, because tomorrow I'll have to record something.

This mod enables you to shoot 720p @ 10mbps. Nothing higher than media_profiles.xml allows to prevent bloated size and choppy performance. Compatible with any ics beta based Rom on arc and neo too.

Added fw 562 version (Both Leaked and Nordic) and 14Mbps for it too

Better go back to gingerbread...no ics rom is perfect in video recording....and in gb also...don't go for cm7 or miui....they too are a bit buggy in recording...and if you want current ics roms to be fluent and fast as hell...then better wait.
However I like KA15...but emanns i-scream, festa's ics and aimcr7's roms too are great if we consider how much work they have done on the rudimentary stock ics.

Whoah! Does this work on the Neo too?

Just realised something pressing down the camera key and home button together when the screen is off activates the camera similar to the Xperia S saving you even more time then having to slide the camera key. Pressing the camera key on its own doesn't, but good to see Sony gave it to arc users

thought I'd share

Edit-You don't need to press both keys the same time,just hard press camera key and it works in any app

in screen lock press home key to activate screen and press camera key

Hi I am planning to root my phone this weekend. Its not even a month since i bought my phone but can't wait to enjoy the rooted features. So, here are the questions i have. (Dont worry im not gonna bug u all for pointers to root)

Just an info about the phone.
Neo V MT 11 I
Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-perf. SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1
Baseband Version ends in 64
Android 2.3.4

Now the clarifications.
1. I want to root and unlock the BL. Should the order matter. Can i unlock even after root?
2. If i want to Unlock unofficially, just to make sure my warranty is on, is there any way I can do other than S1 tool. I also need this method to give me option of relocking just in case i prefer warranty.
3. Is root needed for upgrading to ICS?
4. Is there a way to come back to GB if the ICS is not good enough?
5. What do u suggest me? Root in GB itself, know how it works and go to ICS? Or upgrade to ICS and if i dont like, come back to GB.
6. What is the general feedaback or how do u feel about the ICS in Neo V?

1.order does matter for 0.62 fw. You need to unlock boot loader first. Then use custom kernel with CWM to flash root Xperia zip. Or downgrade to 0.42 fw, in this fw you just can use essay root toolkit by doomlord. Read stickied threads
2. Other way is setool2,which is the same but for network locked phones with fastboot locked. But you can re lock after using official way.
3.no
4. Yrs.flashtool
5.I suggest go to ICS and if you don't like it move Barack to gingerbread.
6. Read general section. There are plenty of threads with feedback and bugs of official ICS

I suggest just try ics then revert back to gb if you dont like it.
Search about rooting and bootloader unlocking here on general section.
Note: you dont need to have root to revert back from ics to gb. Just use flashtool.
Important: search, read, decide what to do... Done.

Just hit THANKS if i helped.

1. I want to root and unlock the BL. Should the order matter. Can i unlock even after root?
A. Any order will do!!!
but since ur r on .62(assuming u dont update to ICS )
then its better to unlock bootloaders first
because then u need to flash any custom kernal and u can root it easily!!!

2. If i want to Unlock unofficially, just to make sure my warranty is on, is there any way I can do other than S1 tool. I also need this method to give me option of relocking just in case i prefer warranty.
A. I have locked bootloaders and i dont have much knowledge about it

3. Is root needed for upgrading to ICS?
A. NO
u can update to ics without rooting

4. Is there a way to come back to GB if the ICS is not good enough?
A. yes see this link

5. What do u suggest me? Root in GB itself, know how it works and go to ICS? Or upgrade to ICS and if i dont like, come back to GB.
A. go to ICS

6. What is the general feedaback or how do u feel about the ICS in Neo V?

A. i love ICS

Great, so im gonna move to ICS now. But, if i rooot with ICS will the root be still there when im coming back to GB (im sure im gonna come back )? Also in the official sony upgrade to ICS link, they mentioned about a backup and restore. WIll that be enough before moving to ICS.

Thanks all for the answers, I really appreciate the help you guys doing for a beginner like me.
