'Best' ROM is always going to be a subjective matter. Just install a few and try them out over a couple of days, then you can decide yourself.
Try CM9, ICS, CM7, Keiran's ROMs (MIUI), Cola ROM etc; there's loads to choose from
Depends what you want the Play for, but if you want a fully working phone just stick with the stock one. There's plenty of tweaks to get the best out of it without losing bluetooth or the touchpad etc like the alternative roms do.
many roms that you have posted don't work correctly, specially the 3G. I think that i use original firmware for now
maybe you can use jjkkyu's TrueAncestor ROM
i have just flashed hybrid evolution 5.2 with 36 baseband and #2 DoomLoRD kernel. its a nice rom, but it still has some flaws...for example i cant download anything via the google play market and the face lock is not working for me...
Im definitely staying with 4.x.x though, as for some reason i like it better than 2.x.x...
The ICS Beta based rom i have tried so far have been really sluggish
Might want to avoid those
I don't think the ICS roms are sluggish. I really like AOKP, ported by Supervenom. It works great. But it really depends on what you like. Maybe you like Miui, maybe you like CM. You'll have to find out yourself.
hi,
I have just rooted my xperia play using super one click.
everyhing is good, titanium said that it has permission so means the phone is rooted.
rom manager also is working fine saying phone is rooted.
i have have installed naZ cwm from playshop and i installed the cwm 5.
everything is alright.
but when i want to back a nandroid backup from either of the app mentioned above the phone boots but does not go into cwm.
i have partitioned the sd card (16gb)
av seen the cwm mode once after i restored the phone to normal and re rooted it never never seen the cwm mode again.

Try using an older version of the cwm app. The most recent app has issues. Try v5 and below.

No. It's more complicated than using an app. More than likely if your serious about unlocking your phone you should first read up on it more before doing anything drastic like unlocking it.
Please visit the development section and choose yourself.

Ok so I came from an HTC Hero which I rooted with z4root and I had ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had my Xperia play for a few months now and I have been trying to find a way to root it. Well I finally did using this tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487221. Well as soon as I got my root permission and I saw that I had superuser, I went straight to the market and downloaded Rom Manager. I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery from there but it says that R800x does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Well then I tried the flash alternate recovery part which is RA Recovery v.1.6.2. Well it acts like it is going to download then it gives me a message saying an error occurred while flashing your recovery. So my question is: Can someone please help me get a working recovery going on my phone?
The R800x has a locked bootloader so you can't use CWM in quite the same way. Look for the app calleo CWM in the market. It's for our phone and installs CWM in \system.
You won't be able to use custom kernels or OC unless you unlock the bootloader. However, there are a few ROMs you can try, and you can do a nandroid as well.
See the stickies in this section for more info and links,

This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I just installed CWM Auto-Installer and it (at least seems to for now) works great.

Hi,
I got my phone stuck on bootloop, and can't find a good idiot-proof guide on how to fix this without the ability to get into recovery.
Here's what happened:
Last night I figured I'd give it another shot trying to get a custom rom on my Arc. This didn't work because I couldn't get into recovery anymore (??)
So just now I figured I'd re-install CWM, so I ran the program, it didn't work.
So I ran it again; Didn't work.
Well, I ran it again, and the program said it worked; So i try to boot into recovery, and it's boootlooping ((
I don't know what happened here (it has to have something to do with the cwm installation program), and I don't really care at this point. I just hope there is someone here that's willing to write up how to get it working again.(in an idiot-proof guide )
Thanks in advance guys
I would just re install stock either by using pcc or seus, or flashtools which is the preferred method for most.
If using flashtools you can choose which stock rom to use look in the stickies for the need roms etc.

Hello,
New to android... I have searched and searched and read in a LOT of threads trying to get Cyogenmod 10 working on my i747m on Rogers.
I have found many guides and have managed to root my phone and tried installing Cy10 but got an error 7. I read that this was because of the wrong recovery version. I was told to get ROM manager and update through there. For me, however, the GS3 doesn't show up in the options.
Could someone please link me the correct files that I need? I think I know the steps, but it seems that all the files have different versions and are not compatible.
I'm trying to be very careful and not brick my phone, so I am reluctant to try anything that I'm not sure will work... I think that's why this is difficult (Rogers = AT&T? or not?, etc.)
Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to take the time to help me.
I had the exact same problem as you and what I did was flash, if I remember, cm9 and go to ROM manager and then it would show me Samsung Galaxy s3(att).
You need to update your recovery I flashed the touch recovery from the toolkit and that worked for me

Do you remember which version of cm9? I tried that last night and I still got error 7, but maybe I used the wrong version. All I could find were nightlies, no stable ones for d2att (which is what I was told was our phone)

What version of the toolkit? I can only find 1.0 which gives me recovery 5.5
I'm in the same place. Rooted tried cmw and touch recovery both giving errors. Rom manager from the play store doesn't have an option for a different recovery for me.

I've been trying for 3 days.. I'll let you know if i find a solution (if this thread doesn't provide one that is)
(I'm in Ottawa too!)
Error 7 is means you don't have the right requirements to start with.
If you are trying to flash bell 4.1.1 on your Rogers device running 4.0.4, you must first install bell stock 4.0.4 from Sammy site or else things like will throw error 7 during install.
Read CM10 requirements carefully...
I had the same problem. I just upgraded the CWM version to the latest one using this (its the same step, just make sure you download the right recovery):

Get recovery from the main CWM site:
clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Maybe I am not looking in the right places, but I am trying to figure out how to change from clockwork mod recovery to twrp recovery. All the instructions for installing twrp that I have found only allows tells how to install from a fresh root. I am already rooted and just want to use Twrp now in the place of CWM. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Am really not understanding what I am doing and want to NOT brick my phone

I use this from CNexus... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41313260 its the best of both worlds. But from my understanding if you just want cwn you just download the zip and flash. Your nandroid from twrp are not compatible with cwm so make sure u keep them separately or delete them and make new ones. Again this is from my research. I use both and have no problem switching.

Just download goo.im from the market...I think it is called goo manager. They have an option that will auto install it.
I know about goo. Used it in my touchpad. Will installing twrp from here do anything to my existing status? Or just remove cwm and replace it with twrp? Has anyone tried it already?

Just flash TWRP right over using goo manager.
