Its a custom ICS rom, and you have to be knowledgeable enough for that to be installed in your phone, you have to know about rooting, unlocking bootloader and stuff, and I think it involves changing the kernel (which could be quite dangerous), if you want you can use some apps that changes the look and feel of your devices instead of changing the whole ROM, try searching the market of apps like golauncher.

1.)No, android honeycomb is exclusive for tablets..

2.) If you still have a backup of your firmware you can downgrade it by yourself: follow instuctions here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/198355#198355#198355

If not, you can bring your device to a sony service center and inquire about downgrading, they can downgrade it themselves.. Slightly_smiling_Face

Or if no backup he can just use wotanserver, the result is just as official and he won't have to miss his phone for 2 or 3 weeks. Winking_Face

See the back up section: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38251 this should have been done before you upgrade to ICS.

you can try DeGraaff's suggestion, but you have to pay Slightly_smiling_Face http://www.wotanserver.com/en
