Well here i am after flashing this Rom, I'm very satisfied, I'm using speedy sola 5.5, ondemand+sio, 200-1150, it can't get smoother then this I really recommend everyone to try it out, I haven't tested battery since I just finished installing everything and I have to calibrate it. I'm talking from personal experience, i tried many roms and so far this is the best. Thanks a lot

ovan febriawan
I really live V4. It's fast and stable..
My opinion : v4 is best rom I use. I dont v5 because v4 just perfect to me and I dont know what I waant to change in v5
Maybe I should wait for your stock JB rom..
Thanks

Aultex
This Rom is ultra fast !! No lags in navigation. Sociallife is Awesome!

sanderschang
Tried several custom roms on my Sola,Ultimate rom is the best

Oriann
The ROM works beautifully ...smooth and performance are on the top of the hill
So far I didn't find any more bugs or laggy times...
If I will find any more(I dont want to ) I will report to this thread....anyway VERY NICE JOB ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AS IT IS!
the Ultimate rom is really the fastest !

zenchikage
After a day of use, I am forced to conclude that this is the best ROM I have tried as of yet.
In performance, it is still not lagging, which is good considering that I always heavily MOD ROMs and make them slow.
Battery is decent, not the best I have used, but decent. Way better than stock ROM at least.
Limiting processes and Boost My Xperia Multitasking handles everything pretty well.
but I am convinced that there are no bugs. Everything, from Bluetooth and Mobile Network to NFC and WiFi-Direct seem to work well.
So, overall, it was a great job and I hope you continue making it even better. Thanks for the ROM.

​

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FASTEST ROM USE 
              HOT PLUG+SIO

AND KEEP MAX PROCESS AT 2 or 3
For battery keep max clock at 800mhz and use minmax,conservative +Sio
By Testing I Found Out That switching off a core saves more battery than running at lower frequency with both the cores running

PHONE LOVING TIPS
1)Always restart phone once a day preferable while u take a shower so that u dont miss any action
2)Whenever you feel like ur phone is getting slow even at 1.3ghz with best governors use boost my xperia and
according to ur preferences like mulittasking,gaming or just free ram
3)Do not use ram tweakers or boosters as they eat more ram then they conserve
4)if you feel like battery drain is too much you can always use different frequencies and governors
5)then to if you are not satisfied use different kernel

YOU MIGHT NOTICE NO SONGS IN WALKMAN AT FIRST BOOT DONT PANIC  
JUST BOOT INTO RECOVERY WIPE DALVIC CACHE AND CACHE AND RESTART
LET THE PHONE CHECK FOR ERRORS IN INTERNAL AND EXT MEMORY 
AND TADA:good: U SHOULD BE GOOD

For USB Connection problem
UNTICK THE PC COMPANION And change connection type to MTP - MSC and back to MTP

Walkman is ok as you described.

 

[an_katso]

Yes i did. I try right now the procedure from the beginning,in case something went wrong, and will tell you.

 

[Ashwin Prabhunerurkar]

Yes i did. I try right now the procedure from the beginning,in case something went wrong, and will tell you.

ok

 

[an_katso]

Well i flashed again and have the same problem. It seems that the "fix_permissions.sh" included in the rom zip file isn't recognized.
The stock kernel i use is XPERIA SOLA STOCK ICS FTF Build 6.1.1.B.1.54 - India(ASIA).
Is it possible that i need another version?
I will wait for others to install to see if they have the same problem.

 

[eagleeyetom]

Thread re-opened. Both ROMs are based on stock, hence the minimal differences. However they are different in some aspects so can't be treated as a KANG.

 

[Ashwin Prabhunerurkar]

Well now that i am free from the false accusation of copying another dev's rom
will release the V2 tomorow
Changelog hasent been decided yet
will decide on the reviews,opinion and tests by users
so useers dont forget to post ur reply for this awesome rom
