Stock is too good. But with root only.
Custom ROMs are already modyfied and that's save you to modify stock rom.
So they all good...but biggest differents is "do you want make all work yourself, or you take someone already done this hard work"

Stock --> Stable, all functions working properly.
Custom--> Though stable, not all functions and hardware of your phone will work until implemented.

well for me stock is good with better camera than cm7 rather than what tyrand3 stated...have xloud and bravia engine..but will lag if more and more of usage and app download...im using cm7 right now, and all the lag is gone with the overclocked and system optimization. but no radio....
the theming is great and i customize it to be as perfect as i can..my friend have arc to, and they using stock rather than me but my arc is stand out than most of them....still have batery drain issue though but stock isnt much better either...
its all up to you..you can try to root and use the different rom that has been built, if you dont like it you can change back to stock rom...the guide is all in here if your interested....

I've gone for the best of both at the moment...
Stock ROM: stable, no faults, looks quite pretty!
DoomKernel: rooted, overclocking, extra features
Until CM7 develops some more and has all the features of the stock ROM as a MINIMUM, I won't be changing from what I've got now .
CM 7 is far good than stock rom in speed, there is no lag like stock rom
but no radio
Previously Gameloft games was not running smoothly,now problem solved
More internal memory and all apps are now downloaded at sd so no more out of memory notification..themes are great, right now i'm using ICS theme, it's cool..
Missing one feature Facebook calendar sync....
Xperia Arc 2.3.4
ROM-CM7
Theme-ICS
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------
Use CM7 for Speed
Use Stock for features
Which one do you like????
Xperia ARC 2.3.4

I also really like se stock rom (for a change)
And as already said stock rom is good only with root.
My opinion stock with root and new kernel is all that is needed

This I agree. And I use "ADWLauncer EX" to enhance the user interface, I prefer it than the stock launcher.

SE Tweaked v0.7 is super smooth with all stock features. Teamed with Doomkernel it is blindingly fast or with Blendkernel for smoothness and good battery. I have tried CM7 and SE Tweaked is better if only because you still get the Bravia engine.

No probs. I was one of the first to try SE Tweaked V0.1 and saw the improvement there over stock. I had a go with the first three weeklies from the FXP team and thought that they are doing a great job but the one thing I couldn't get over was how dull the display looked. That is why I am back with your ROM and V0.7 is really really good. I have OC'd to 1.6gHz and I must say the Arc is completely lag free and very fast with a super bright display.
Hello all I have been thinking of throwing together a rom for our R800X with locked bootloaders tell me what you would like to see in it and what you would like to see taken out of it. I will be using the files from 2.3.3.

While I appreciate the offer, it's really not any more than theming and modifying the installed apps of the stock ROM, not an actual custom ROM. Now a port of 2.3.4 or ICS to our locked phones would be cool.
Right now I'm running the ICS theme with ADW using the ICS theme for it as well. With V6 Supercharger script and Kieran's tweaks, my Play is rocking sweet.

What I meant to say was IF it's not anything more than theming... Funny how that one little missing word changes the meaning. That's what I get for texting replies after working 3rd shift and no sleep. I'm going to bed now before I post any more gibberish. :blush:

It would be cool and also impossible, as your bootloaders are locked, you are unable to flash kernels, and ICS will not boot on a GB kernel.

I would like for the R800x to focus on gaming, I don't mined if i only had one screen, have launcherpro'ish options for cool customization. Make it so games and emulators get full power or even more( if possible on locked bootloader). then the rest like sound(EQ), camera(and all that apply.), and then all the other goodies that make it a phone. I'm more into the art side of computers, I wish i new how to program for this thing I would love to help. overall FAST and STABLE. I know that sounds easier than it is. Hope for the best. Cola6 is kinda close but i still want all my games. Don't care for the other stuff.
well im new to this phone and all its developrs and roms, what roms would you recommend installing? im seeing a few familer names like paraniodandriod etc but dont know what to chose

I found they're too unstable, random reboot, performance issue...

AW: what rom would you recommend?
PAC is one of the best Roms available for the Xperia S in my opinion.
It is super smooth, easily costumizable and stable.
In the new Version it even contains some Sony Features like Walkman and launcher.

[Q] Is CM10 based on JellyBean?
Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm pretty new to this as well. I'm currently running XTX8. I tried XTX9 but it was very slow and laggy so I reverted back to XTX8. I wanted to try CM9.1 but couldn't get it installed, so just did a restore as it was late at night. It's just I didn't consider CM10 as I thought it was based on JB, and I wanted something that's stable and not still being 'developed' as such.

In my opinion read and learn how to flash, root...etc and try lots of roms and you ll find your suitable rom

On a locked bootloader?
Sent from my TVR powered Xperia S via transwarp conduit.
U need custom kernel for custom ROMs. Stock kernel only supports stock ROM.
I use Trinity's ROM, it has a nice battery life (though I use custom kernel, i don't know if it will have much difference without it)
You can use Greenify to hibernate apps, it helps a lot.
Why not unlock bootloader?
U can relock it if you want.

Check Trinity's ROM. So far so good for me..
MIUI v5 is good but not smooth as Stock based JB.
Snapdragon BatteryGuru
Try Snapdragon BatteryGuru (download google play store). It runs an all devices with snapdragon hardware. It learns automatically and battery life could be much better.
FreeXperiaProject FXP228 - my favorit rom
because of the possibility to manually control the brightness of the display i was able to double battery life.

Made battery drain much much worse for me. JuiceDefender is still my best app for that. Add Greenify and you're golden.

I agree, I've been ROM hopping and FreeXperia 228 has been the best so far in battery consumption. Also MIUI in Battery > Power Saving mode is pretty good. I've noticed a significant battery life improvement by using a firewall iptables via a firewall app like AFWall+ and just limiting apps that you know for sure that shouldn't need access to data.

Any Debloated Stock rom (just keep extended batery mode on)
or any Debloated non Stock ROM (usualy slimmer than stock but need unlocked bootloader)
id suggest my own team XCP rom but you might not like it so i Suggest you look around and try some out
Install custom kernel and add greenify.
