[OFFICIAL] Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for unlocked 2011 Xperia smartphones

Source: Android™ Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM available for unlocked 2011 Xperia™ smartphone models
Official thread by Kalle: [ROM] Official Sony Xperia ICS Beta ROM for arc S, ray, neo V
As a follow-up to the previous alpha, Sony has released the official beta of the upcoming ICS update for 2011 Xperia models. Unfortunately, this beta is currently only available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray and they must be already running the latest firmware (4.0.2.A.0.42).
What's new?
Updated UI – We hope you will be happy to see that we have added a number of UI elements from ICS, as well as some new UI features already introduced in the Xperia™ S we announced in January.
Lockscreen and Face Unlock – We have added a shortcut to the camera directly from the lockscreen. Also, when you’re listening to music you can control the music player without unlocking the phone by using the music control icons on the lockscreen. In the coming final ICS upgrade, we will also include the face unlock app from Google for all phones that has a front-facing camera. The Face Unlock feature uses the front-facing camera in combination with advanced object recognition algorithms to provide a new way to unlock the phone. However, since Face Unlock is a Google Mobile Services (GMS) app, it is not included in this ICS beta ROM.
Connectivity turned on – Since we published the ICS alpha ROM, the GSM modem and FM radio have passed the certification and type approval, and they are therefore turned on in this ICS beta release.
Updated email client – The UI has been updated, and simplified email management has been added.
Quick dial – We have added a quick and easy way for you to make phone calls. See how it works in the ICS beta ROM demo video.
Please note that the Google Mobile Services (GMS) apps (for example Gmail, Google Maps and Face Unlock), Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi™ are not included in the beta release due to that they are still waiting for the certification and type approval to be finalised.
Let's hope someone who is skilled out there to make it available for arc users. Also, I thought we were going to get the UXP NXT interface, but it seems like we don't.
What do you guys think?

Is this ROM maybe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJbDl8aikUk&feature=player_embedded
EDIT:Sorry, I didn't see this video in the link below

Woohoo ..! Can't wait to test

I wish i had the technical knowhow to port it to Arc =/

Making now
don't forget you can talk to us any time on gtalk and as always xbox live

Wow, we're getting almost all of the Xperia S features with the ICS update too!

Assuming it will work on stock kernel - can it be installed and a CWM backup made???
I have already restored my ARC S backup to an ARC without any issue (BOTH Locked bootloaders)
Just a thought
----Edit----
Just to be clear - Could someone with an UNlocked bootloader install the rom and then make a CWM backup of which can be restored in another phone (Locked bootloader)?
I am guessing the UNlocked bootloader is needed to get the rom installed because its not signed.

Can we flash this on original Xperia Arc? I am asking this because I know that roms for Arc are compatible with Arc S. I also know that Arc has different partition table, but maybe since I have a modded rom it has changed.

Someone uses it on an Arc, so yes

Curious... GSM is working, but does that only mean 2G networks?

Hello any chance of CM13 for the non-PRO version?
I'm just trying to build the kernel source released yesterday, but it seems the symlinks inside the archive are stored in a bad way, I'll have to fix that somehow first. And I've never built a CM before, so it can take me some time... or make that a LOT of time

So please give me the good link.
Thank you !

Thank you, it is just what I have done, and all is great, nut, I can only boot the rcovery with fastboot, impossible to flash. An error occured with ADB mentionning problem :
Unknown partion: 'recovery-TWRP-3.0.2-20160712-ZUK_Z2_PRO-CN-wzsx150.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-TWRP-3.0.2-20160712-ZUK_Z2_PRO-CN-wzsx150.img'
I will try to find more.
Thank's again!

Seems like you don‘t tell fastboot on which partition to flash TWRP.
Try this one:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery path/to/twrp/img

MIUI for Meizu m2 mini (Always updated)

As we know everyone loves MIUI and most of Meizu m2 Roamers want MIUI in their phones.
MIUI 9 is released by some real hard working developers and this thread is totally because of their hard work. I am here to just connect you directly with them.
Visit this page https://miuipro.by/rommgr/device/515 and sign up on it since they are releasing one version almost every week.
To downlod from that page you need to sign up and I will recommend you to do that. If there is any problem in downloading then comment down below.
Latest build : MIUI 9 (7.10.26) (26th October 2017) <----- click to download.
Bugs :angel:
None that I could found.

Don't thank in the comment, click on the thank :good: button.

my problem is weird one it was in all miui 8 rom and now on miui 9 also
The problem is when I use single sim with jio my jio4gvoice always say connecting or offline but when I use dual sim jio4gvoice shows online. I tried every possible solution i.e add apn, change to manual network, etc etc nothing works.
This bug is only present in all miui rom. All the flyme rom and nougat base rom works very well.
Please can anybody post any solution.

Its just a replace of Global in chinese.Updates will be little bit faster.I recommend you install beta A firmware.It's better and good stable firm now for p6p.

Is it based on Android 8.1?

Understand flyme 8 might be on android 8.Meizu is always one year back on android updates.But they always update security patch along with firmware upgrades.So wait.Since this phone can receive more android upgrades and a pro model, you can expect android upgrades next year.:fingers-crossed:

I hope so. Thank you!

Hi
I'm a total newbie about Meizu Pro 6 Plus. I bought it for my wife yesterday. I've installed custom ROMs on plenty of Chinese phones, Samsung and LG as well but never on Meizu. All I've done is update to Flyme 7.0.1G using update.zip copied to Recovery drive (phone in recovery mode plugged to the computer). Now I'd like to update the system to a newer beta version, for example the one above. Unfortunately I can see no tutorial as usual in such cases. Does it mean that the process is the same as for the official stable version? I mean cable+recovery+update.zip.
One thing more. The author says about making backup. How can I backup the system and data partitions without TWRP? Is there any other solutions?
Thanks in advance

Tell me where you bought it from?Then i can say whether you can go to chinese from global as usual method as you said abow or not.Backup can be taken from phone itself. There is option for that in settings. Check it yourself.

This is exactly the phone I bought:
https://www.efox-shop.com/versandko...-rom-samsung-exynos-m1-exynos-8890-2-g-310632
As you can see that's German online shop efox-shop.com. The phone was shipped from Germany.
The sticker at the back of the box says that the phone is to be purchased in Mainland China. I'm confused.
I don't know if I wanna go to a Chinese beta version. For now I'd like to install the newest beta Global. Of course, if beta Chinese would be better than Global I could install it. I'm afraid only tons of bloatware inside and no other languages but Chinese.
There is no chance to brick the phone doing such update? What can I do with my backup if the system will not start. Double confused.

Yeah i checked it well.As you are now in G, you can install beta G as you like, same method.It will install surely.If you want to go chinese beta(as it is the best with features now), try same method, if it shows corrupted or failed to install, it means your phone is purely global.I checked the site you bought from, the sellers at it, didn't mention whether they do unlock processes they usually done for global users. If bought it from bangood or ali, surely they done this.So same process can be done on all firmwares downloaded. It is not a junk to use chinese flyme 7 since most apps can be uninstalled without root now.I recommend you to try to install that if you can as it provide you well battery management than any other versions.:fingers-crossed:

Morover no bricks occur if you done install through flyme recovery.It will restart for sure. Dont worry. If the firmware you downloaded didn't worked, recovery didn't install it. Always do all at battery abow 80%.

Thank you very much @adarshm4you! I'll try the newest Chinese beta then. I find the phone itself a great piece of hardware but the system is just a scream of despair I see now that Google Play Services eat 60%-70% of battery power! That's insane. The last question I hope - rooting is not a problem?
The last last question: formatting data it absolutely obvious to get a stable system?

See i only enable playstore on background. This saves battery. And formatting not needed for getting stable system. But clearing data is needed while going to chinese from global and viceversa.

Rooting not a problem for meizu usually since we can flash upgrades via recovery easily.Ota support is not necessary now a days.

I have this Meizu with Flyme 7.0.1.0G on board. Can I instal this software? Is can be treated as a daily basis?

You can install it ofcourse.Global updates are slow now.Chinese beta is better.

Hello, I have Pro 6 plus bought from banggood and on the box it is Chinese but obviously flashed with global software (I don't know how they do it but in settings shows that I have global version). It comes with flyme 5. I receive OTA flyme 6.1.0.0 and flashed successful. Now I want to flash Chinese ROM but not sure if I brick my phone. Do you think it is safe to flash Chinese ROM in my case? And if yes what is best stable 7.1.5.0A or beta 7.8.7.24A ? Thanks.
