here is on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496076
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

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 are there any other rom options for r800x users other than GBTweaked and Cola? Cyanogen doesnt get specific so im not quite sure.
There is the Darkforest ROM version 3.0.5, the UK firmware ROM for the R800x and the IT-ROM, all of which will work with a locked or unlocked bootloader. Note that of the ones listed in your OP, CM7 is the only one that requires a unlocked bootloader.

Check out the UK firmware on R800x thread. The first post is the best rom I have ever used.

I just flashed T.E.A.M. ROM on my r800i yesterday and it also works for other xplay variants according to the thread starter. Its like a modification to the stock 2.3.4 and it is really fast and easy to use. Also, less than 50MB compared to other custom ROMS out there which are buggy.
Here's my current set up for my Xperia Play r800i:
T.E.A.M. ROM
Doomlord's kernel v11
Unlocked bootloader
Stock Home Launcher (for optimal use)
Antutu CPU Master for overclocking purposes
Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 for Xperia phones (available in Play Store aka Android Market)
Hi everyone, I have a Xperia Play R800a
Firmware: Stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42
Im from Costa Rica and in my country I use CDMA(3G) & GSM
I have unlocked the bootloader, so I want to install some Kernel or ROM.
Which Kernel or ROM can advise me?
I dont want to make a change and screw my device haha cuz I dont have money to buy another =P
Thanks.
Any rom/kernel for the r800a/at/i gsm xperia play.

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.
So I have used off and on the R800x UK ROM 2.3.3 and really enjoy it. But I am trying to remember what was different abou that ROM that let r800x users use it.. as our is CDMA and that one was GSM or based off GSM..
Anyways....wonering if its jsut a baseband issue, is it possible to then flash UK 2.3.4 and just flash Verizon basebands...? I am sure I have it all wrong... whihc i why I am asking it here.

For whatever reason .145 (iirc) had a hidden bonus of liking R800x. None have since

The UK version has mediascape UI and timescape UI
Verizons 2.3.3 was vanilla gingerbread, I was told verizons 2.3.3 is pretty much a striped down version of the UK 2.3.3, of course with the added verizon bloatware

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

If your on the r800x just stay on stock and look for a bloatware remover there are a bunch on xda and flash it and bam
