Will I get a notification when official android 4.1.2 releases? Will I be able to update OTA? Or do I have to download a .tft and flash it with flashtool?
im on locked bootloader, stock kernel and XZXperience 2

What do you think? You are on a custom ROM, will you get a notification for the official one? No.

thank you for the kind reply.... I'm new to this stuff, so I don't know a lot about it yet...
However from my experience,
from gingerbread to ICS.

At that time I had root and custom ROM in GB, ICS was launched and when I plugged in to PC Companion, it notified me about a new update to ICS.
It downloaded the update to the computer.

However...cannot install in the phone.

But they are talking about notification, not about updating phone with SUS...

maybe u cant install the update in ur phone if kernel is modified and ur bootloader is unlocked..try to flash the stock kernel (kernel.sin) then relock ur bootloader using flashtool then install again the update using pc companion.

The way I did, pack the update into ftf by myself from the downloaded update, the flash it by flashtool.
Since nobody pack my country firmware and upload it.

Great ROM

Really good ROM. Had flashed it on to my device over the weekend. Kept getting annoying pop-ups that were interfering with even simple phone usage like making calls and it was lagging. Pop-ups with "Unfortunately, email has stopped" or "Unfortunately, exchange services has stopped." Also issues with sound enhancement not working in Walkman.

Wiping cache and reinstalling several times didn't work and I was close to reverting to my previous ROM. I decided to try move the offending apps (email, exchange, walkman and sound enhancement settings) from "system/app" (root access required), rebooted the phone with a hard reset, copied the files back to their original folder and rebooted again. This seemed to solve the issue as no pop-ups.

Quite impressed after this. The offending apps are actually working well now. No pop-ups and the ROM is incredibly smooth. Maybe one other useful thing to do after installing this ROM is to disable the navigation bar at the bottom (settings>navigation bar). Hope that helps someone.

@niaboc79

Are you going to port some of Z features to Xperia S Official JB?

I'm using the leaked .200, I was using XZXperience 2, but I'm missing some XZXperience 2 features like:
Location based WiFi and "Jellybean Tab 'n' Grid SystemUI".

Is it possible to port it? Also, a port of these features can run in LB bootloaders.. Am I correct?

Check eXisTenZ [Black or Normal, and soon, White edition]. It is based on leak .197 and has some ports. Some stuff, as White Balance and Stamina relies on kernel, so that means it won't work on LB.

Interesting, it does have location wifi, i think the notification bar that I want isn't a present feature on that rom...

Well nice roms coming with the new kernel sources...

I don't mind about white balance, but stamina is a feature that I really want, if Sony give this one in the official JB I'll keep my BL locked and enjoy BE (yes, I do like BE) and my warranty.

Ps: Let's don't talk about stamina mode present or not on official JB...

Stamina is not doing anything more than powersaver of S.

More options with stamina but not more battery life.

@niaboc79 , just a suggestion...

You and @DooMLoRD should cooperate to create a "Advanced Stock ROM for XS", porting some features we saw on XZXperience 2 and Xperia Z that are missing for Xperia S (example: WiFi based location, notification bar grid, STAMINA mode, White balance).

Would be nice if we have two versions of the ROM, one for Locked BL and other for Unlocked BL, the main difference would be STAMINA, white balance and doom's kernel.

So, is it possible?

Well... @DooMLoRD only makes kernel.
And DooMKernel can be flashed over all stock 4.1 based ROM (including eXistenZ, Trinity Ven. R.XL, etc.)

Guys, just install power saver app and you will have great battery.
It preserves battery power over the night and if you battery goes down to 20% it'll disable few features (data, WiFi, sounds, vibrations...)
It's app from ICS but I found it very useful.

Don't know how you use your phones but I need my internet when screen is off, what stamina do is disable net when your screen is off for a few min, I'm sure 90% of users doesn't even use this feature.

I need e-mails and notifications even my screen is off.
25-30 hours with power saver over the night (00:00-06:00am) and I'm pretty satisfied. ;)

Can't wait to see v2 :)

    VIDEO PRESENTATION (By Gersons): http://youtu.be/bWda5Ypk3d0

    Tips

    • How to access to systemUI preferences: swipe down the notification bar, press menu button, choose systemUI preferences.
    • The best way to set an image for a contact is by starting from the Phonebook: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37937257
    • Set contact background image in last step while editing a contact.
    • Wipe user data in recovery to avoid force close and problem before to flash the rom.
    • You don't have to wipe data if you're coming from XZXperience 1 but wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery.
    • To disable the navigation bar, go in settings, select navigation bar and "press to disable navigation bar" and reboot
