Manoj, 24 Oct 2013Hi..my xperia is running smoothly with gb..the only problem... moreRoot your Pro, they buy ROM Toolbox Pro and use its Move To SD feature... Also, with it you can convert into system app the apps that need to stay in the internal (widgets,etc) That way you free up more storage without breaking any functionality of the app. But, some apps may disappear when trying to move to the internal by converting it into system app. In that case reinstall and try again when the app is not linked to any configuration.
This works. The system partition has some 230MB of available storage. Use it.

Only if you can't buy, you can go with the free solution: Link2SD. But ROM Toolbox is the best root app for tweaking and servicing in Android.

Don't get a copy illegally. Don't steal. Would you like your father to be robbed? By the developers work.

    AnonD-61409, 03 Oct 2013Hey Gizmo, I can help you and you don't need to do almost... moreI know CM ROMs. They are good, but my help offering was for stock GB because I don't think an average user would need to flash a custom ROM to get a satisfactory experience.
    And the only somehow valuable feature lacking in GB is the multitasking/switch apps method introduced since ICS. Can you name at least 3 features from the many you alleged?

    Also, please share the link to the exact ROM you're using and having a satisfactory experience with... as some have issues. That would be useful.

    Anyway, the Pro is still a very nice and capable device n.n

              Guys I just Downgraded from ICS to GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 and rooted my phone. But when I scan for the final OTA GB update it is not showing up. I mean the final build. I have flashed the GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 several times on my phone, and every time there was the OTA update. But this time it wasnt there. I cant directly flash it with the ftf of the final build version bcoz it cannot be rooted. Maybe the update was removed from their servers. Please help me guys.

                Hi..my xperia is running smoothly with gb..the only problem is that i am unsatisfied with internal memory. So can anyone pls tell me weather we can increase internal memory? Nd i heard we can keep sd card as default memory after rooting. Is that true?

                  AnonD-197585, 19 Oct 2013how to update to 4.2 or 4.3To update to 4.2 or 4.3 you need root your phone & unlock bootloader of device.
                  Then download CM10.1 or CM10.2 custom rom ZIP file. Copy zip to SD card.
                  Flash custom kernel comes with ZIP file by using fastboot tool.Go to recovery mode of phone then flash ZIP file from SD card (after wiping cache,data,system,davik cache).

                        Sent for repair back then. And now, the keyboard format has changed from QWERTY to QWERTZ. Tried setting the format in input setting, but no luck.

                          Unfortunately, no. Based on my experience, Wi-fi off, GPS off, 3G on, brightness set to lowest, using ICS, battery drains rather quickly i had to charge it in the middle of the day. But then i'm a heavy 3G data user.

                                Regarding the comments about ICS running awful, yes was true, for almost a year since I have this phone. It was new when I bought it, with GB, I let it to do its updates, and since then I had to wait its usual delays, almost after any command, or wait to recover from "freezing" for no reason... And I thought it couldn't get any worst, but in time because of its limited internal memory I remained under 70 mb space, & then I decided to announce all my friends that I have the most stupid smartphone every time I had this chance, with demonstration! Because of its necesary updates, I've gone under 50 mb internal storage, even if I uninstalled almost all the download apps, so I had no choice but RESETTING TO ITS FACTORY SETTINGS - SINCE THAT MOMENT, I DON'T RECOGNISE MY PHONE - IN THE GOOD SENSE! Very important - there are two kind of reset, and only the one without keeping the user data (factory reset) have effects. Even after making only necessary updates and after installing only necessary apps I remaind only with 90 mb (I guess I will pray at the next update) it's still running smoothly, almost like an ifone4 (without an S) without exagerating.

                                    Hey Gizmo,
                                    I can help you and you don't need to do almost anything.
                                    I've had this device for a year too. I rooted it and tweaked it. It runs so very nice and any app (lots of them) and GAME runs perfecly fine with good graphics.

                                    There are some things to do to the system but are not "technical" and all is done without changing any custom ROM nor anything difficult.
                                    The first and most important recommendation is to downgrade to stock GB... This means I will only help you (and anyone) with this version 2.3.4. No CM10, MIUI, etc. Stock is better.

                                    Alright, I can help you. But you'll have to follow my instructions.

                                    Anyone desiring your Xperia Pro to run much better can contact me and I'll try to help but only if you follow my simple instructions and pay atention cause I don't like to repeat twice.

                                    This is a beautiful device worth keeping.

                                    - L.
