For all who want a new phone,whitout to buy an expensive mobile try this like me:
1.Update to ICS 4.0.4;
2.Unlock the bootloader via FlashTool by Bynary or another program(via Flashtool it's verry easy);
3.Root using Eroot program(download,install and follow the instructions);
3.Install Clock Work Recovery(download and istall;2easy steps);
4.Install manny custom rom from XDA developers or from CyanogenMod;
5.If you want,install Link2SD(only for Root) to move/freeze/unninstal apk from phone memory to SD card.

PS:I have the latest CyanogenMod 10-Jelly Bean(4.1.2) and I am so happy.This it's stable and for daily usage.Good luck!

                          Vijay, 15 Oct 2013Which Kernel did you use for UHD?My kernel was stock .587 kernel on UHD . Just after two days i moved to Anzumi white ROM , but found graphical glitches and then I flashed Honami Z1 ROM with sauve kernel which i found most stable.

                                yes absolutely true.
                                it is very smooth ROM with lot of features.I wish Sony could update 2011 Xperias with this ROM as OTA ( of course then no will buy new phone)
                                Two days back i flashed JB 4.2.2 slimbean ROM , it is smooth with many features.
                                Two salient features.
                                Download rom file was 86mb rom + 14mb gapps.
                                lot of customizing options .
                                like ample method of shortcuts(hardware buttons with long press function, slimpie ,ring surrounding home button, notification, quick panel settings , it took a day to know and get used to them .
                                Give a look.

                                  change and check battery and charger. Do battery calibration tests. Download from play store.
                                  After 1.5 years my neo still gets full battery in 1 hr . To be precise using wall charger of 1 amp for every two mins it increases 1% battery. Don't use ordinary battery chargers below 700 mah.

                                    Its matter of convenience , after flashing with stock kernel in new ROM , CMW recovery will be gone.
                                    But these kernels r built in with recovery,
                                    in 10 seconds flash jb/ics kernel with built-in-recovery , and flash new jb/ics rom from recovery .
                                    Just easy to flash , backup n restore and moving from GB to ICS to JB ROMs.
                                    No offence .
