Normally I’d download cooked ROMs from forums and trying out to find the best one I prefer. I owned few Android phones back like HTC Desire HD, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S and now Xperia P. Sadly, Xperia P has very few ROM and only one developer keeps maintaining it until ICS release and now ROM was made since. After long desperately waiting hitting refresh every single day hoping to find someone posting cooked ROM, I decided I’d make my own then because I waited long enough. A lot of stuff picked to test and added carefully with optimizations making me think I should release seperate packages soon after finishing this ROM.
As you guys need to install ROM through flashtool then flash custom kernel first to be install this, it’d be pointless to make whole ROM package to re-flash again. I made this package mainly to flash everything I want to use one so suggestions are welcomed. Here’s ROM Patch to get Xperia’s Fidelity and GX experiences.
Featuring:
-Xperia Fidelity script
-Xperia GX/T apps and System UI
-Xperia GX/T sounds and graphics
-build.prop tweaks
-Thunderbolt v2.7.7 tweaks
-Partition remounting optimized
-Supercharger’s patched services.jar
-Optimized LMK supercharged
-SQLite optimized
-Powersave governor during screen-off
-Zipaligned
-Audio effects bypassed
-Google Now

If you aren’t using Sony Xperia phones, don’t feel down yet. Soon I’ll release separated CWM packages for tweaks and optimizations so you can test it on yours.
