Pros/Cons of ICS for XPlay?

So what are the pros and cons of ICS for XPlay? Can I root it, etc.?

With ICS you get the latest Android OS and all of its goodies (functions, theme, root etc.), but some games that worked fine on GB are either laggy, buggy, or unplayable. So if you use it primarily as a gaming device stick to GB, but if you use it as a phone, you can try out ICS.
I myself have used ICS all this summer, was pretty neat, but the games that didn't work on it and that I really wanted to play made me switch back to GB.

Thanks... Does anyone know which games will not work on it? Do emulators work fine?

Pros:
ICS
Cons:
Battery drain, some apps are unstable

Thanks, but Titanium Backup is REALLY REALLY far from perfect. I have a ton of apps and reinstalling them with TB is hard to do. Not all the apps will reinstall, then you have to keep figuring out which will install or not install...it's a process that requires hours and hours to do... I even have the paid version.

I'm using CM9.1.0 stable version and I find it laggy and unresponsive at times. More so than I ever noticed when I was on stock GB. I much prefer ICS to GB though so I put up with it. It is annoying at times.

Are there any cons when installing ICS on the r800at? Everytime I try to install ICS Pureness on it, it keeps bricking...so the phone never boots past the SE title/logo...

Did you flashed the ICS beta kernel and den installed?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

You might as well try out Jellybean. It feels so much smoother as any ICS ROM I've used. I'm running Supervenom's ROM with the included kernel and am very impressed with it.

I'm not sure about this, but is PSXperia working on Android 4.0 or 4.1 or up?

And does anyone know which ROM Android 4.1 for XPlay is based on? It wouldn't be the XPlay ICS beta, right?

FPSe works great on ICS builds. And Android 4.1 ROMs are Jellybean ROMs.

im using it atm, and it is much better looking than sony's stock.
it is just a tad bit laggier, but i know after a while it will become much more smoother, it's still new.

So you recommend spending 2.25€ for it? It is tempting to try.
Edit: how much RAM does it need?

I use Opera to download files, Dolphin to read news and browse as i don't have to install fonts to my phone, the other one is default one. And normally I used to have more than 3. But last night I format my phone and not installed all browsers yet.
Its been a while since I never use launcher. Today I found this post and want to try some launchers and decide what is best. But I can't decide yet. That's the reason I has many launchers.

So, I bought it and have been playing with it for some time. Here are my first impressions.
It looks really nice and it is very good that you can customize what will it look based on time, location or WiFi. So you can always have something different, based on what you need.
Screens are fully customizable and there are 5 of them. You can have chameleon widgets or put your own anywhere. Official widgets are really nice.
It is pretty fast but tends to lag sometimes and first load of launcher is quite long.
You can put apps on screens and create folders and link them to app drawer so you have them always at hand.
The biggest downside of chameleon? RAM USAGE! It eats around 100MB to as high as 135MB or ram and it's slowing the phone down sometimes.
This launcher is in the making and will get even better than it is now. They really have to improve ram usage otherwise it is really good for now.
Will post some more after few days.

yeah i noticed the ram usage too
i even encountered a force close when i was playing around with it, though only once, but still

[Q] [DISCUSSION] Best Gaming Launcher!

I have been wondering for a couple of weeks now of what your (the community) favorite launcher is for gaming.
EG:
I think LauncherPro is good because it is fast and lightweight on ram + Im using Supercharger V6 so its always in memory
Please post below,

Smart Launcher Pro, so good I bought the full version. It supports using the dpad and buttons, so its great for getting to games quickly.
Slide phone open to unlock, use L and R to select games, dpad to move to game you wanna play, press x to play. Simple
Also I have never used scripts on this phone, any point of actually using them? (using MIUI Classic with LupusGB&ICS).
Oh and btw, I use this theme.

Perfect Home is my favorite. It is so good, it hasn't even needed an update in three years. Even has D-PAD support.

Smart Launcher eats more ram than Lightning Launcher
Smart Launcher: 15-25 mb
Lightning Launcher: 9 -18 mb

Zeam launcher - ugly, but the most lightweight launcher I've ever seen! It is only 388kb to install it and it takes only, lol I was going to check how small ram it takes but it doesn't show up in running apps, so I guess it barely takes any ram

You are right, it uses very little,its using 7mb right now,C:

I think its fine because people just wanna know what launcher takes up the least ram. Its like comparing other apps and asking whats the best game. But i found this useful since i saw what launchers others use and what works best as lomg as no ones offended i think itll be ok but if its not then i guess a mod should close it though it seems fine to me

Xperia S lag and smoothness issues

Hello all.
I have my Xperia S for one month now and I am becoming more and more frustrated with the frequent lags and slowness of the system in general.
On the same day I bought it, I discovered that I was with a locked bootloader and from then on, despite my attempts to improve the system by rooting and trying several Roms I am about to give up hope.
I am now with KA25 ROM but already tried XZXperience 2 and Turbo ROM. From all of these I must say that sooner or later the system becomes laggy and starts to have strangely large access times to some actions or apps.
I notice this in the contacts app a lot, in the messaging app, on the in-call and after call screens, slow loading times while performing normal tasks, like in the album scrolling and accessing images, hiccups and annoying sounds within the Walkman app. Don't know where to even start or stop.
Sometimes I feel that it must be something related to ICS but I would like to have your opinion on these issues.
Also, I am having thoughts about going back to basics and just factory reset the whole phone. Would this clean all of the "debris" the rooting and appliance of several Roms could have done to the phone?
How would I do this? Just flashing with flashtool a clean stock image?
Any advice or any second thoughts, or even the sharing of similar experiences would be great and I would be grateful.
Looking to hear from you soon.

This problem is well known... ICS on this device is very laggy and bad.
Wait for JB.

Thanks for the feedback. When you mention tweaks what do you precisely mean? Because I have tried some tools like Pimp my ROM which state to have entropy generators and other speed tweaks but up until now it is pretty much of the same...
However I must agree that waiting for Jelly Bean is the most straightforward solution however I am surprised that a good device like Xperia S has this difficulty dealing with ICS or any usual tasks.
I came from an HTC Sensation XE and with ICS ROMS these issues were not so frequent.
However and I must address this in the topic I have been restoring the apps from ROM manager when changing ROM. Would this have any influence in the short term to the system stability and general speed?
Many thanks.

Thats it now you will have a very smooth rom.Not to mention you can always install the sony widgets for this launcher

Yup entropy works but the zip i mentioned to you doesn't clashes with the rgnd files in snapdragon devices.Also it generates entropy as per device requirement & not high or all the time

Regarding your advices I am only having trouble with Mr. Nice Guy app as it is a paid one and reviews are not very convincing.
However I am having up until now a very smoother experience, nevertheless I am considering changing the launcher as this one is not allowing any changes with the icons and also my favourite widget (Walkman) still does not appear.
