As the Xperia Arc and Play has a lot of similarity in terms of the software, firmware version, is it possible to port the fantastic user friendly Arc defaults camera apps to PLAY?
Our PLAY camera is not worse than any other 5.1MP camera as I have tried it out few days. However, the UI is quite awkward...

Ofcourse it's possible. As you may have noticed we seem to have a shortage of developers for the xplay maybe when doomlord gets his play he MAY look into it
Thanks for your reply, I found PLAY is a bit unique from Arc and Neo. Not sure if it is a good thing. Fortunately it now updated with the HD video recording which make it more fun for the camera.

totaly agreed need to be ported only zhdzu can do it
May I know what or who is zhdzu?
I personally like the default camera app, and there are a few panorama apps in the market, I know they arn't as good as Sony's but whatever if you want a proper 360 view just record it.
What is so special about the Arc's camera anyway?

Its not very special, but its kind of bot fair as the Xperia series should all share the same camera apps that design by the Sony Ericsson. But as you can see, only Play is using the default camera apps that comes with the Android gingerbread...
Why Play does not deserve to get the better SE camera apps? Since it is the Playstation Phone Flagship of the company and its camera spec is fully compatible with the Arc's camera app.
Hi,
Does anybody knows if Doom is working on porting the ARC camera app to PLAY, I know he just got his newly Xperia PLAY, so I'm excited about what he will be able to create for ous phones.
Sorry for grave digging but has anyone made progress with this? I HATE the gingerbread camera app, it's quite unresponsive (compared to iPhones) and would love to try out one made by SE

Hi,
I'm currently using ICS 4.0.3 on my Arc S. This kind of sucks for gaming (loads of lag in games like Temple Run)...
I've been waiting for the 4.0.4 update but my SI number still hasn't appeared on the list :crying:
So I was basically wondering... Does the ICS update offer a better performance for gaming? Or do you think I should downgrade to GB?
Thanks for your help
In my opinion GB is better for gaming.
Prince
I also found gb better for games. There just seems to be a little bit of lag in big games after ics.
Okay thanks guys I guess I'll downgrade to GB then...
Will this void my warranty? :S
No, that wouldn't void your warranty at all.
Just be sure you flash 2.3.4 and not the previous versions as you might get the 0% battery issue.
Swyped from my SE Xperia arc (LT15i) using Tapatalk 2
Ok thanks I'll flash 2.3.4 and hopefully the lag will stop
small games like temple run and fruit ninja may have a little lag on 4.0.3 but hd games run really good, btw before anyhting i recommend you try arconium rom 4.0.4, the 4.0.3 build was in beta stage and besides arconiums rom has software rendering enaled, wich means it will run smoother, however in whatever ics rom you are, the xperia launcher always seems to lag, what i did was to flash arconium 4.0.4, and replaced the xperia launcher and music with apex launcher and google play music from the system/app folder, now my arc works like a charm, of course if your looking for gaming with 20mb games then i guess gb would be best, iif thats the case try arconium gb 8.0 or cyanogenmod 7.2.
Tried most of the ICS ROMs, AOKP had been best for gaming while on ICS. Now I've came back to GB 2.3.4, and it feels a lot more smoother now! :O If you're into gaming, then go for GB (preferably Arconium 8.2).

What would be the difference between this and the stock GB rom?
Whats the best ROM to have on the xperia play. Im currently on the joka wild v3 ROM, and ive heard some people are playing tdkr smoothly on other roms. And its really laggy for me on my phone, even though its oc'd to 1.7GHz!
anyways, what do you think is the best lightweight ROM and good for 3d gaming?

I haven't tried TrueAncestor, but it sounds like people are having better success with it. It sounds in general like the .58-based ROMs are having better luck. I'm running Gin2Jellybean (also based on .58) and am extremely happy with it. I haven't played Dark Knight yet, but am enjoying the Amazing Spider-Man fine with small lag. The UpdateMe feature that Gin2Jellybean incorporates to help keep your phone patched up to date is also nice (it automatically finds update.zip patches for you for your ROM).
So I highly recommend Gin2Jellybean - I'm even running the full version of it, though there is a lite version as well. It and TrueAncestor seem like the best Gingerbread choices to me right now - and I'm not sure ICS is a sound choice for gaming as of yet.

You overclocked to 1.7Ghz but haven't overvolted so it is no use as you will get the performance of something like 1.2Ghz and lot of lag anyway with proper voltage settings it will easily overheat, I reccomend Gin2Jellybean as a daily driver.
I am currently testing the rom Markphyton v4. It really is great! Test N.O.V.A3 and The Dark Knight Rises. Very quickly, in the legs. But I can not play videos with the default player. MOBO player installed to wait to fix.

Ive tried a handfull of roms available for locked bootloaders. So far I have to say Gin2JellyBean is my favorite. But if your bootloaders arent locked like mine are then theres alot more possibilities out there too.
Has anyone played Gangstar Vegas on Arc S without lag or other problem ? "Very low" visual quality gives lag free gaming experience,but can't see other people or vehicles.On "Medium" visual quality,the game lags so much... If "Low" is selected,everything goes black.Only the navigation and action buttons are shown.Have anyone faced it? Got any solution to play it well on xperia 2011 line ?

Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs are not good for gaming. Use Gingerbread, 4.0.2.A.0.62.

The best kernel FusioN made and the most stable for JB 4.1 ROMs, the 5.4. There are links everywhere, but if you want I can attach it to this message

Actually I doubt it will be possible playing Gangstar Vegas on medium settings with our Devices without any lag using any Rom.
Gangstar is damn big and got High Quality Graphics, but we must face the fact that the time will come where our phone will be pushed to the limits and simply has not enough power to run the game...
At least I´m sure that you won´t be able to play it on Good Quality Graphics and witout lag on our phones. :silly:
For best gaming performance I recommend the new Atomic GB 8.0.
Thank you all for your suggestions...But have you tested the game on JB or GB ? And why the "Low" quality graphics is not available for us? I mean everything goes black if low is selected...Only option "Very Low" or 'Medium" are available for us...!!

Soo.. you want a video of me running it lagfree or something? xD gangstar vegas isn't thaaat heavy graphic, I ran on decent settings gta 3.. :l You just have to get the proper ROM and proper settings, our adreno and snapdragon can do magic.

so your settings and rom are the one you´ve put in signature?
I still doubt that it looks at any way equal to the screenshots gameloft released in terms of graphic.
I can´t even select *High Quality" in Gangstar Quality settings, that says it all, unfortunatly

No, for heavy games and to run them lagfree, are the same settings but with the difference of 1.5 GHz.
edit the file profile.bin in the folder Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftGGHM
like this
5 0 5 3 21
then launch the game,you can get the medium quality
If you want to use your phone for heavy gaming, I recommend you to use a GB based ROM like Atomic GB (best for UI) or XGAMER (best for performance) with a custom kernel like LupusGB or DooMKerneL ! Don't install RAM consuming apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, etc. and keep your phone light ! If it continues to lag, try to overclock your phone (but it can be dangerous !) ! That's all folks !

yeah im running it on my Arc S without any lag on medium With 1.5GHz / ondemand / deadline....
see my signature
I don't get this,ok i get that lt18i is a bit faster than lt15i but with overclocking it can get there.
But i tried Ultimate HD and i tried Racing Bean 3.1 but non of these ROM's don't work with heavy games,GTA3 lags,Wild Blood multiplayer unplayable.gangsta rio lags like hell.And my RAM can't get higher than 200 mb and that's in his best days i mean if i have just maybe 10 apps installed.It's stupid to say that ICS/JB is better than GB in gaming,yes it's true ICS/JB looks so perfect and beautiful but now we have GB ROM's that looks like ICS or JB,here i'm using one it's called Atomic GB 8 and i can get 240mb Ram when i stop apps that are running,that's grate,and when i restart my phone and stop apps i can get up to 250-260 mb,and in combo with DooMKernel v22 ICS/JB don't stand a chance,the ROM doesn't look so much like ICS but it's getting there,if you want Jelly Bean look,there is Gin2JellyBean,but didn't try that ROM myself so i don't know what to tell about it.I didn't try this game yet on my Arc lt15i with Atomic GB 8 ROM but i will.I don't have very big hopes for it but hey...
Hey Guy
My xperia Ion was very smooth with ICS few days ago, but when i upgrade it to JB (i have been waiting it for a long time), it's getting lagger and lagger like below:
- APP DRAW : very lag, not smooth like ISC FW, what is the thing in JB called "Project butter"? I heard that it make android smooth as much as IOS. But i dont see this on JB Xperia ION, this is so disappointing.
- FACEBOOK, CHROME ... APP: disappointing again. They're so lag that i have to uninstall them immediately.
- WALKMAN: What happen with my favorite music player, the quanlity of music is getting so bad.
- CAMERA: capture movie add the highest resolution (Full HD) is getting lag, it dont happen in ICS FM
Please give me some solution to bring back the smooth i have had on ISC FW to the new JB FW on my ION
Thank a lot guy

The Project Button was a project to try to bring smoothness to the whole UI. It doesn't promise a lag-free experience. Did you made a clean or dirty install? Facebook app has been getting faster and faster with each update. Chrome is really slow because it was built based on PC's version, not a Android app. Also, you have a 2010 processor in your phone. It isn't one of the best. Walkman in JB is 10x better, sound quality wise, for me... Camera problem is because Sony implemented some new drivers that aren't really compatible with our processor, so it lags a bit...
Android JB in Xperia Ion is Awesome
I flashed Android JB in My Xperia Ion few days ago. It's really cool update. I installed PowerAmp for Music and it's the Best. Walkman is also good. But can't compare with PowerAmp. I haven't face any issue with Camera. Apps are working very fine (No crashing so far.) I tested Asphalt 7 Heat and It's Great. (No Lagging/No Crash).
Pros:
+ Better User Experience :highfive:
+ No compatibility issues (Perhaps I installed all apps which I had in ICS.)
+ SenseMe Slideshow in Albums app (I like it very much. :victory: )
+ Improved Notifications Bar
+ Customizable Wall/Screens (Can add/delete any no of walls which is not possible in ICS)
+ Familiar widgets
Cons:
- Booting time is more when compare with ICS. (It's not a Big Deal. I don't restart my phone every day. Who does?! :angel: )
- Can't Root the OS. (ICS was Rootable easily. Waiting for Firmwares from XdaDevelopers. )
- Can't uninstall/remove apps from Menu itself. (ICS has Blocks icon on top right which enables to delete user installed apps.) It's not a Big deal, I can uninstall via Settings -> Apps.
- Not able to find Direct call Contacts Widget.
I suggest to Flash Android JB on your Ion. :highfive:
Well, it can be done [root]
