You will have to flash a stock ftf they haven't properly formated the kernel and I get the impression your device thinks it is a xperia s and not an acro s.

I was lazy and just flashed my Gapps from 01/03/2013 so at the very least that still works if you dont want to resort to using the slimapps. But thanks for the heads up.
