-How much free internal memory free after install?
-I'm trying several ICS stock based roms now and i see everybody put the Movies app from Sony within, but i find it doesn't play any file i try (mkv, avi, mp4...) . How about this one? The same?

Yes all movie files are working you can test with this 2 secound file if you want, it is working very good, and the free internal memory is 259MB.

Re: [NEW] Xperia Play Express Rom ICS

1st bug question, does this Rom locks HSPDA? Or does it go back to GSM/ HSDPA Preferred? Image bugs? And does this include Small Apps.

I think this is by far the most promising ROM for the XPlay ever. May I just ask, if it's ICS how come the three buttons (Back, Home, Menu) on the lower part of most ICS screens not present?

Because you can turn them on and off in the settings menu
