In Xperia Go the Lag is caused by the Kernel which is not a good build.. flashing custom kernel solve the problem partly but to complete solve the problem you need to flash the kernel and install custom ROM

see my youtube... have no lag and RAM stay around +-80% region no matter what you do... this is awesome

im not using any killer.
this is fresh restart every nite, normal daytime keep around 150mb++
use auto change wallpaper (static pics)

The rom is by Infinity based on SE but partially CM build
yes it is faster than stock as this one we use modified kernel which is lighter and more responsive

check it out at XDA forum

My Samsung w died while I was running in heavy rain just now. I guess I need Sony Go water proof capability.

1) Any recommended place to buy it with best offer in pj / subang area?

2) How much is it now?

I am actually tempted to get acro S, but I think it is not scratch proof unlike Go

Just updated to ICS last night. Yes, the LAG is teribble. Downloaded Fastboot, Sony driver , Bin4ry Root Tool and Infinity ROM; just wanted to clarify a few things:

1) If we do rooting without unlocking bootloader, can we install CWM and Custom ROM ?

2) What is the correct Steps if unlocking? Is it: Unlock -> Root -> CWM -> Kernel -> ROM?

Thanks.

You need to go to sony development website to request to unlock your boot loader (it is provided by sony and follow the steps)

after you do that you should have the code generated by sony after you provide the imei of your phone to sony...

then download android development tools (as guide by sony)

you need to boot your phone into USB mode (Blue led only) and from there use fastboot to push a file into your xperia go (which provide by sony)

then this is the ticky part

go to XDA development site look for Xperia Go thread
there is GO Android Development section... look for the latest kernel with CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912865
download the "boot image + CWM Touch recovery v5.5.0.4"
where it contain custom CWM recovery... unzip it and extraxt out boot.img
use fastboot to push boot.img into xperia go
you now have CWM in your xperia go.

then copy the entire zip into your SD card and boot into CWM and flash custom kernel

now download Infinity ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949706

and transfer to SD card and do the magic (Factory wipe / clear cache) and install ZIP (Custom rom)

remember to do full backup incase you screw up everything...

oh your warranty may have void by now hahaha but if you do the proper backup you may still have warranty)

remember flashing wrong boot.img (either wrong build/wrong model) will put your phone into soft brick (yes your phone in coma now) and you probaly shit in your pants.,.. the only way to revive it is to put your phone into USB mode again (blue led) and fastboot in a new boot.img to save your day....

note: noob dont try this at home...

Thanks U for your detailed guide. Will try to flash it tonight. Before this I used Galaxy 5 and installed custom ROM on it, but installing custom ROMs were easy when already got CMW. First time install CMW too long ago, couldn't remember how. Thanks again.

ICS = the version OS is 4.0?

I have asked Sony Center Salesman b4 @ mv, he told me that version is not stabled.

4.0 yes its not stable...
but the version we use is 4.0.4...
which is got stability improvement...

but i like better on my tab using 4.0.3 =|
