[Q] Anyone! Xperia Play AT&T Roms?

Can someone give me someone feedback on this subject?
If not lets try to find a friendly dev to help.

Any GSM rom will work fine on the AT&T phones.

I have a locked bootloader. Are all the stock kernels in the GSM roms the same? In other words does r800i rom and stock kernel work with r800at?

I am fellow 800at. Had phone for Bout a week. All gsm stock roms are safe to use on 800at. I'm on 800i 058 firmware with 036 baseband right now and doomkernel bootloader unlocked. But stock kernels are fine with locked bootloader. Battery seemed better on older firmware but I haven't tested long enough to be sure.

so i think that it should work
there is the kernel for cdma too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400127
so u can try but first make a backup

but the phone is a gsm phone wouldnt that cause major issues?

like I said I have gsm stock and i dont know if it works. U can try and if sth goes wrong than (4g wont work) use recovery backup to return to stock rom
in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294129&highlight=2+3+4+r800a are infos about roms for xplay an there is info:

It should be compatible because it's good for all GSM models, but I'm not sure about the whole 4g jazz.

(post #34), so possible is that without loosing 4g u cant change rom

Do not use a cdma rom you have a gsm phone. You can use any stock based GSM rom like darkforest rom with no game issues. Cm7 is great but the touchpads don't work on most games. I'm using darkforest rom also jokawild is another great rom no problems on xperia play at&t

Really? Nothing happens if I install something build from R800i or any other model?
And the GSM at the begin of the posts, dont gonna leave me without CDMA?
Thanks!

I don't think it matters. I used to have a stock r800at but I installed TrueAncestor v. 1.4b and it changed it to an r800i. I haven't seen any problems in the month I've used it!

Falsh the enhanced version of stock rom .58 and after flashing your r800a will become r800i. Then flash doom kernel through fastboot. Then search for any gingerbread rom and flash through CWM. Thats all.

Yep, they work perfectly in Latin America, just make sure to do a nandroid (full backup) and you should be fine, then you can test every ROM out there with a backup to rely on and roll back if necessary.

Please help looking for a ROM!

OK so I got my Xperia PLAY, and I'm looking for a plain debloated, deodexed, clean stock ROM. Does such a ROM exist? Also, do I need an unlocked bootloader? How can I tell if my phones bootloader is locked or unlocked? Thanks!

Hmm.... You can debloat the default/stock rom
Thinking of ODEX then I've no clue.
Unless you're looking for a Rom that is already existent so what are you looking for?
Performance?
Stability?
Lightness?

Overall I want a really fast and stable ROM that is good for gaming. I want it to look like stock though. Also, what does supercharged mean? Would that make it faster? I plan on overclocking, too.

Would it just be possible to root and overclock stock 2.3.4?

You cant overclock with a stock kernel 2.3.4. Since you dont know if your bootloader is unlocked it is obviously locked. You need a custom kernel that allows overclocking and this discussion is ended since you are stuck with what you have.

Is there an overclockable kernel that you can flash on locked bootloaders?

Nope. If you flash a custom kernel with your bootloader locked you will have a soft brick device.

OK. I've been looking up ways to unlock the bootloader on the R800X. I have dialed the number so you can get to the menu where you can check if you can unlock your bootloader, but there is nothing that says "rooting status" in the information part. My phone IS rooted. Does this mean I can't unlock the bootloader? I'm on Verizon.

Hey buddy, I have the same R800X as you on Verizon. We can't unlock bootloader for free unfortunately. I paid 20 to get mine unlocked. It was worth it for sure.
I am running debloated, supercharged stock 2.3.3 rom, and it works great.
I just got my Xperia Play last Friday

Thanks for the advice. Where did you get your bootloader keys? I think I'm going to chose the same path you did. Also, what kernel are you using? Thanks again!

I got my phone unlocked through here: http://unlock-bootloader.com/
I was a little nervous at first because you have to pay first and then he unlocks your phone. But I went ahead and did it and I would recommend it fully. It took about 10 minutes from beginning to end.
I am using Doomkernel. Going from the stock kernel and Doomkernel is like night and day. The phone is much more responsive and stable.
But the true speed gain is when you supercharge the rom. My friend, I have never seen speed gains so obvious.
Combine this with an overclock, and I will promise you will be impressed. The stock cpu speed is 1ghz, but I have just oc'ed to 1.2ghz. My max stable cpu speed is 1.9ghz, but I found 1.2ghz is a perfect speed for my needs

I have a locked bootloader and Gin2Jellybean. It is fairly debloated and everything especially if you get the lite version. And then you can always uninstall any more with root uninstaller from the market

Hmm - I have a xperia play on the way with a bad esn, been trying to figure out the best rom for gaming without unlocking. I do not care about the launcher or even phone functionality.
I bought this solely to emulate old school consoles on the go -what rom would you experienced guys suggest?
Looking for no bloat and no frills and any version (gb, ICS etc) would be fine.
Planning on removing phone and messaging apps.
Thanks guys
Edit - as mentioned above it has a bad esn from Cellcom - so it's CDMA -stock - not sure if I could flash gsm stuff too because I do not need any phone / data fxn just wifi. Thanks again
