i saw that there is a leak for the GSM xperia. im currious if anyone is working on porting that over?
Pretty much everything except data works the same on the R800x, just gotta have the UK firmware (flash system.sin via fastboot) before flashing ICS. The leaked version is sorta cool, but it's nothing compared to how it will end up. Do not expect to use the leaked ICS as a functional daily rom, you will be disappointed
awesome i hope the Xperia gets a update soon. its my bros phone personally i have a gnes but i would love to see what sony does with the game interface and the psn market

Okay so I want to root my Arc so I can enjoy a much faster Arc with better battery life, but with ICS just around the corner is it even worthwhile?
Also on the subject of ICS, how soon are we Arc users likely to get the update (I'm still on 2.3.3)? I'm pretty sure I read that we'll only get our hands on Arc after SE release their new flagship dual core phone which will.come with ICS pre-installed.

Hi.
It's always worth rooting regardless of which version of Android you're using.
I have to second that....
You'll still be rooting your Arc running on ICS anyway, so why bother?
god day all you happy xperia play owner.
i will soon getting a new phone and i wont have any need for the xperia play as a actual phone. so this will be only a gaming device.
what im looking for is the perfect kernel and rom to give me as much quality gaming as possible.
currently on ICS++ and a ICS beta kernel from doom and am realy happy with it. only downside is emulators not working to a 100% (SNesoid. gameoid, n64oid and nesoid.) the issue is sound on = lagg and n64oid lags / reboots phone.
so what im looking for is a ICS rom (for the touch pads working) that gan give a good gaming experience.
I decided to go back to a stock 2.3.4 on my r800x. All custom roms and any that are ICS gave me lag in games, and low fps for some reason.

Jokawild isn't ICS.
I think that if you want everything to work like it should, you should go back to stock.
ICS seems to be more demanding overall over Gingerbread from what ive seen.
Xperia play is pretty dated Hardware wise so a really trimmed down version of Gingerbread might be the best option for gaming
Ive seen a few threads point to use either DiXperia, Jokawild, or TruAncestor
I'm using the Xperia S Style ROM and man games run faster than they did before. V6 Supercharged of course.

I can confirm this!
I just swithed to DiXperia (on of the many Xperia S roms) and i have seen a huge boost in performance with a full 200MB of Ram free while running.
The nice thing about DiXperia so far is that its completely barebones and you add what you want to it.
Definetely get on the Xperia S Roms
Agreed with above, im actually switching my phone over to an xperia S rom.
JokaWild is the best custom ROM that I know.. definetly great!
touch?
i can live with going back to GB since SE are not releasing official ICS. but is there anyway to have GB with touch pad support on emulators?
DarkForest Roms is a not bad options

Hi there.
I am a new Xperia Play user. Since I used SGSII before, CM9 and the stock android experience is a must for me and CM9 was the first thing I installed on my Xperia Play. I have a small problem with GTAIII. First of all - the game is laggy as hell... What is the best Display setting for the Xperia Play? Secondly - gamepad doesn't work. I mean... Arrows and O button (as 'back') work but that's pretty much it. What should I do to make it work properly with the whole gamepad? I'm on the latest build of CM9 from the FreeXperia Project (build dated 23.09). Thanks in advance.
To my understanding cm9 for game compatibility is rather rubbish, your better going back on gb if you want to play games what don't lag as much

Xperia PLAY is best experienced with STOCK GINGERBREAD. Everyone knows that. Nuff said.
Wow, thank you guys for stating the obvious.
But I was asking for something else. Well, I guess I'll have to dig deeper on my own if you guys don't have any simple solutions.
Hmmm they are the solutions... Anything based on ics etc aren't very good for gaming purposes, GTA 3 won't get any better on that Rom hence why I'm telling you gingerbread roms are the best for gaming,
And good luck digging for solutions on your own because everybody will just say give up or go back to gingerbread because there is no better solution to get GTA 3 running as good as you want on cm9
Enough said

Wow, could you be any ruder? You came here and asked a question, but yet you knew the obvious answer. And then to top if off you have attitude.
Everyone knows gingerbread is best for gaming, so just FRSU (flash, reboot and shutup)
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch w/ Stock 4.0.4
Xperia Play R800X w/ supercharged stock 2.3.3 and doomkernel
I know our Xperia S JB updates are due around April, but how likely is it that Sony will eventual release an alpha ROM like they did recently for the Xperia T? This move seems to help mainly the custom ROM communities as the drivers are available for the devs to work with.
I'd say 30% change, at max.

Well, cm10 for xperia s works really well, I have paranoid android running and it's awesome, lacking 1080p video recording and fm radio, both things I never used before anyway, apart from that there's a couple of bugs, hdmi is spotty and I've had 1 random reboot in more than a week, fairly acceptable.
So, if you want jellybean for Xperia S while you wait for the official rom, you may as well go with the freexperia cm10, or paranoid android.
I just got this phone, Xperia Arc S, and it's on 2.3.4.
I owned the Xperia Ray which was another 2011 SonyEricsson device, but the Ray became a sluggish pile of crap after I updated it to ICS. Does the ICS update work better on the Arc S? Any major problem with it, or should I just root gingerbread, get rid of the bloatware, and keep it that way? The phone is for my dad, so I'd rather keep it stock, but if you can recommend me a custom stock based rom without too much advanced stuff and that is fully stable it would be welcome. I don't want him to deal with any hassle.
UHD by jader if u are looking for a ICS rom its Release candidate the last version but 3.1 is stable and good.If u are looking for gb rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077316 this one is awesome im using it and no lags or bugs.Well u have the ugly gb settings but..
Oh well, I updated and gave it to my father anyway. The ICS is disgustingly choppy, just like on the Ray, especially the home is cringe inducing, but he doesn't know any better so I think it'll be ok.
official ICS on all hdpi on xperia 2011 is crap.
laggy and choppy, the only good thing on it is just it's camera.
"major" problem is only it's wifi strength though.

It still runs fine on my Ray as it did on my Arc with a few build.prop and init.d script tweaks.
Arc was made for Gingerbread, ICS is slow.
The only alternative is JB, but you can't use HDMI or good camera.
Oh my god. The phone is SO DAMN SLOW on ICS. Today I had the displeasure of using it and it's slow as crap. It responds several seconds late no matter what you do. Even turning on the flashlight with the smallest lightest torch app in the market (Lite Led, it's the best, no frills torch app) takes a couple of seconds.
All the bad memories, buyer's remorse and sadness I felt when I upgraded my Ray to ICS are rushing back.
How could sony blew it so hard, oh man, oh man. I have no idea how my dad stands it. And I thought my Xperia S was "kinda slow" on ICS. In comparisong to this sluggish, chugging, ungodly abomination of an unoptimized OS it's faster than thought. And he has nothing but the torch app, the Vodafone app to check money and internet usage, and Sygic navigation. Is the phone even usable after you actually install apps and games on it?
I don't even think the Ray was this slow, I mean, the Ray was unbearably slow, but this is borderline unusable.
I am so angry right now and I'm not even the user of the phone.
I think there are three solutions for you:
- You keep the Sony stock ROM and live with the lags (easiest way)
- You root the phone and add some tweaks (build.prop, init.d or the most important V6SuperCharger)
- You root your phone and install a custom ROM and - if you want - unlock the bootloader to install a custom kernel
The Arc S is capable of ICS, it just needs a little help. V6SuperCharger is one of the most important tweaks (including the service.jar patch).
