Do it as follow >> PCC > SUPPORT ZONE> SOFTWARE UPDATE> REPAIR SOFTWARE (written with blue)

Its the first time i have been forum after i got the ICS update... (i  was watching the forum closely back then ) Since then i have definitely lost track of the  progress with the ICS update...

I came back here after hearing rumours that sony has released an ICS update which resolves a lot of bugs in the previous iteration of the ICS

After going thru this forum once again .. i think this fix ICS update is a worth .. however i liked the screenshots of the ROM you have posted up there ..

Can you please tell your sources(everything about the screenshots up there coz its totally awesome ) and the link from where i can download this ROM ..

Thanks in advance Dizzy_Face

@rob260: I am not sure if this is from Sony for LWW. I really like the screenshots, LED problem is also solved in this ROM, but have few doubts before I install this:

1. Do I need to root my phone to install this ROM.

2. Would it be possible to revert back to Latest Firmware (4.1.B.0.587) using SUS or PC Companian (in case I dont like that ROM)

3. Will installing this ROM void my warranty.

4. How easy is to install this ROM.

@Nabeel - Any expert comments/guidence from ur side.

Dexter This Rom is not from Sony. Infact this is not a rom but a modification ( or a theme you could say )

1) YOu need a rooted phone wit X-Parts ( CWM ) installed ( link CWMinstaler(X-parts) )

Here is how to root {GUIDE} How to Root Xperia™ Smartphones

2) Ofcourse yes

3) rooting is involved  so yes, warranty might get void )

4) no answer to that ofcourse.( i can install it within 2 minutes)

@Nabeel - I looked into the XDA-forum link posted by rob260 above, seems very confusing to me (m new to Android and not from IT background). I dont know anything about ROM & Kernel..

I future I may think of installing that ROM but currently I am pretty happy with my latest ICS update except notification LED not working. (haven't monitored battery life & wifi after latest update)

I read in XDA forum that we can modify even smallest think like - battery icon in notification bar, etc ...so is it possible to fix this notification LED issue?

Yup you can fix it but you need to root your phone Slightly_smiling_Face

If you root your phone, you could do anything ( any customization )

but i am confused, i am not facing any issue about led, all is working fine, how come most of the pople are Thinking_Face
