"It's simply a brilliant ROM. Another masterpiece. Flashed 3.0 early in the morning. I came from another really good ROM but you topped it nevertheless. Don't know, how you do this. But that's not important as long as I can participate.",

"This ROM is just supernova and blazing fast, just 10.000 galaxys better than other ROMs, and I tried every ROM, keep it up bro with this amazing ROM :D"

"One word to describe this Rom = Legennnndary!!"
XtremeSilencer

"Came back to ICS after switching between JB and GB for months. I must say that this rom is a beast in terms of performance. Ultimate HD 2.0.3 was good but 3.0.2 is simply amazing. I've been on this rom for 4 days now and there's still no decrease in performance. I dun know about others but i usually get 185+ free ram which is not bad for multitasking and gaming at all. And yeah HD games like RR3, NFS MW, Amazing Spidey, Sims Freeplay works amazingly well.
Can't expect more from a device with 2 years old Hardware.
Thanks for this Amazing Rom."

"Thats the only ICS Rom where gaming is awesome
Greater than GB Jader
your work is not good....your work is more than awesome

Looking forward to your next version "

Compare this to Jelly Sandwich with the fake Android 4.2 logo."

ABOUT THE ROM

Xperia Ultimate HD is a free, Ice Cream Sandwich-based Custom ROM, which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone. Xperia arc S itselfs is a great phone. But with the Ice Cream Sandwich update, SONY added a lot of functions, and the phone wasn't able to handle this correctly. The Consequence was a heavy lag everywhere, and almost all games were unplayable. Now, with the latest Xperia Ultimate HD it turns your phone into an racing car. Blazing Fast User Interface, no lags while playing games, and a great battery life are only a few reasons why to choose Xperia Ultimate HD. If you are flashing a ROM the first time, this ROM is perfect for you. Its not just super cool, its also easy to install and customizeable. Choose what you want with AROMA Installer, and customize your installation like you want it. And the best thing is: It supports all 2011 Xperia. This ROM is very user-friendly and has a bunch of amazing features, you never did exspect. With this ROM your getting a blazing fast experience including Project Butter. In addition its fully compatible with all ICS Mods here & gives you a fast and stable ROM Experience. Try now, you will never regret it.

Use the neo v patch, before flashing remove the build.prop from the zip!

And jan try putting these in your aroma! They will solve all issues for neo/v bro!
If u r using them then pls mention me in the credits!;)

Rom works great so far. Smooth and nice. And camera is also not inverted like mentioned in an earlier post. But I'm unable to install Walkman, maybe its just me.
I'll wait for the ROM to settle and then report bugs, if any. :good:
