Hi man, i'm going to flash ICS on my xperia play.
but but according to you, what is the best version ?? FXP ICS, DooMLoRD ICS or other ?
what is your experience?
Thx!
FXP and ICX are the fastest
i use ICX
Why not just wait for Sony's official version?
I was waiting for Sony to release official but am tempted too. The reason I was waiting was the touchpads but I think they have been fixed. Can anyone confirm whether the pads are working as well as the stock ones.
The touchpad fixed version of cm9 is not out jet, it comes on the weekend.

Well, I've just flashed DooM's ICS and can't get a signal at all. And Keyboard/other apps constantly force close.
Don't get me wrong, ICS itself is miles better than the current stock ROM. But apparently, it's not ready for everyone just yet. xD
FYI - I'm on T-Mobile. Apparently it's my provider that's the issue. I might try a different SIM card and test my luck, my phones unlocked so there's no loss i guess!
Touchapads
Touchpads may be fixed in FXP107, its true. But i think, it will be fixed only one way of touchpad using. The same is in CM7.2. We must wait.

FXP ICS of course!
I think the force closing is probably caused by your phone not being .62
I had this problem too, so its back to CM7 for me

What was the final official Gingerbread ROM for North American Arc S from Sony before they switched to ICS earlier this year? I want to step back from ICS and check phones performance with the Gingerbread. Arc S still gets laggy with ICS.

As far as I know, it was Android 2.3.4. The build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62. This is the latest official GB release in Germany and it should be in the USA, too.

No, the last official release is build 4.0.2.A.0.69 but as far as I know it is not released worldwide (but nevermind, you can install it with no worries). You can find more info (and download link) here:

Thanks much folks. Just want to make sure that .69 is for LT18a not LT18i... I know you can flash it regardless but I want to try North American release....

I have the R800i and I've been using stock GB since day 1. On other devices, galaxy phone to mention, i use paranoid since i discovered it, the best to me.
I gave up looking for custom ICS roms around March as camera and other things were never working. I would have never thought to see paranoid on the play some day!
So I'm happy. But wondering... First thread didn't mention things not working, does it means EVERYTHING works well? Also, is the ram available bigger than stock gb? Cause this is a pain actually, barely no multitasking...
Last but not least: i didn't unlock bootloader but i installed cwm and hard at that time later we could install custom roms without unlocking bootloader... Is that the case now finally? Would make the process less long and risky... On galaxy is soo easy to flash customs!
Add: Is there a good touch recovery like siyah on galaxy s2? Again like siyah is there a kernel for the play that support dual boot? I'm probably just dreaming...

if u want touch recovery, u can use Doom's kernel, CWM with touch support is included although touch in cwm is pretty much gimmick, IMHO
but it means u have to unlocked your bootloader, which i think shouldn't be a problem for GSM user
as for ICS, there's several good ICS Rom, but i think ICS from Markphyton is the best for now, especially if u want everything working
It is true that you can install some roms without unlocking your bootloader, but not the ones that require another kernel. Every ICS rom does need another kernel, so you'll have to unlock it. Since it's an R800i, it shouldn't be too hard though. If you really don't want to unlock it, you can use a rom like Gin2JB, which looks like it's Jellybean, but is in fact Gingerbread. There is a kernel that supports dual-booting, created by KeiranFTW: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508017
I should note that because the recovery partition (CWM) is inside the kernel on the Xperia Play, meaning you can't flash kernels from the phone. You will need a PC for that.
Thanks for the answer. I installed the jelly bean styled Rom last night, nice for now. Look at siyah kernel on the galaxy s phone, it has a great touch recovery!

Pm me and i will help you trought the process of unlocking the bootloader and flashing what ever you want falshed on your phone. The paranoid rom is infact my daily drive on my xperia play 800i as well. Tho i might trow some CM 10 on it again once camara is working on those cm10 roms.
Thanks for the support, but that be later finally. I installed gin jelly and i have to send it to warranty before i unlock.
Still it's like to know : how much free team do you have after installing paranoid? On stock custom you get about 200 mb
Also as i think i asked already, does everything work, well? Camera, all wireless, etc....

I'm currently using CM9 with fxp kernal.. when I installed it I was at firmware(.431).
Update notification always shows on the computer about new update(.587)
Is it ok to update or not? (because I want to hide this notification! )
Another question:
I want to change the rom because the WiFi doesn't work anymore and it's very buggy now. (I'm planning to install JELLY SANDWICH 4.4)
Any recommendation about better roms?
will be giving thanks for good answers...

Check on CM9 if they have released a working rom for .587 FW

Can I just ask anyone here if it is possible to run the Arma Tactics on Xperia Play with an ICS custom rom? because i checked in the market and it said it is compatible with my device... Thanks.
Yes, but ...

The question that comes is WILL it actually run? As long as your Xperia Play has a proper rom without a messed up device ID you should be able to snag it no problem. From my experience, the ICS Betas (4.0) and Sonygenmod (4.1) are the only roms that don't do retarded things to the phone, thus allowing proper play store use.
Hi,
I`m planing to downgrade to an official Sony Stock ICS ROM (& and strip the bloatware) to get all the features working (HDMI). I was planing to pair the stock sony ICS with a kernel like Lupus. Before doing this however I wanted to ask if anyone has a recomendation on which Stock ICS version to get because I remember reading that one of those was a major flaw.
Additionally I'd like to know if anyone has/did run stock ICS+custom kernel and could share his experience with speed/smoothness and such, because I remember running the LT18i_4.1.B.0.587 firmware before rooting my device some years ago and the whole system was so laggy ... which lead me to try custom ROMs first and evetually unlock the bootloeader and go for custom Kernels later.
Any other recomendations are welcome.

I believe the newest is the best you can get, which is 4.1.B.0.587. You can also try 4.1.B.1.13, but it is a branded firmware and may have some additional bloatware installed in it.
Thanks. I remember 4.1.B.0.587 was really laggy when running on stock "everything". I'll try it and see if I can get it running smoothly with a custom kernel...

Even with a custom kernel, stock 4.1.B.0.587 will still lag a lot because of all the bloatware Sony added inside.

And extremely awful optimization.
You guys are really making me think twice about this.

That's just life. Sony gave us really crappy ICS firmware.
