This ROM was originally from
Xperia P: Fidelity ROM as one of the best ROM for Xperia P users. Luckily, methods I use to tweak build.prop allow other devices to be able to installed without messing up original build.prop data so some people managed to get it working on other devices for most of the times. With enough support and contribution from users who use other devices, I can finally make a generalized version of this ROM working for all Xperia Novathor devices (P/U/Sola/Go)

Instructions
1. Flash latest ICS ROM build 6.1.1.B.1.x or newer
2. Unlock bootloader to flash custom kernel having better performance and battery life with new governors/schedulers (optional but recommended if your device has good kernel)
2a. Unlock your bootloader from
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions.
2b. Flash any kernel you like. One comes with root/busybox/init.d/recovery support in one go is highly recommended. Most kernels should have autoroot and recovery support.
3. Prepare the requirements before flashing this ROM
3a. Root (Required) - If your device isn't rooted yet, all tweaks and optimizations won't work so root it from nearby threads.
3b. CWM Recovery (Required) - Flash recovery for locked bootloader from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2020895.
3c. Busybox support (Optional) - If your device doesn't support BusyBox yet, install BusyBox with this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ricson.busybox.
3d. init.d support (Optional) - init.d support comes initially since version 10.0 using recovery flash method. You can check about enabling init.d support yourself in case it doesn't work with your device with this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1933849.
4. Reboot to recovery and flash your device's Small Apps part 1 framework resource file for Activation. I use ones from
http://www.mediafire.com/?c46p6alys7vhduw then reboot until you see stuff bootup. You can skip this step if you don't bother with Small Apps.
5. Reboot to recovery again (ignore any problems in previous step) and flash Fidelity ROM in recovery. Keep in mind that you have to repeat activating small apps after performing full wipe.
6. Clear cache and dalvik-cache then reboot.
7. Wait till your phone bootup. You may see NFC firmware being upgraded. After device finished booting up, reboot your phone without doing anything else (or some stuff like Sound Enhancements may not work).
