I think most of the 4.0 Roms are still in alpha or beta stage and have some features missing so I'd say wait until the official ICS update is released, then see what people do with it.
What games are you intending to keep?
Just using anything but a stock based Rom makes PlayStation Pocket disappear as I found out yesterday Crash Bandicoot still works though
Last Rom I used (aside from my current CM7) was T.E.A.M Rom. Its just a modified stock Rom

Well I got fifa 12 tiger woods 12 stuff like them mate. Yea I did read somfin like that somwhere. So think I will wait for 4.0 and will have a look at that t.e.a.m. Rom see how that it I wanted cm7 but it just wouldnt install installation kept aborting was tryn for over a week lol

I got CM7 up straight away but lost PlayStation Pocket lol
Really annoyed me as I'd just installed the PlayStation Network Store thing (the new PlayStation Store) and paid £3.99 for RayMan which I now can't play until a stock based ICS Rom comes out
ICS is apparently due on the 19th roughly so not too long to wait

So would that mean I cud get crash team racing lol rayman is cool aswell. Will have more of a look into cm7 like hopfully will get somwhere
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Well if you flash cm7 you lose the PlayStation Pocket app
I'd suggest getting a PlayStation emulator like fpse anyways. There's only a few titles that don't run properly

Is it not possible to backup the PlayStation app with titanium backup then restore it on cm7?
@Scouse83 as for custom roms have you unlocked your bootloader?
As alot of the custom roms require custom kernels which in turn require an unlocked bootloader

Apps not working

hi, i upgraded my xperia arc to ICS three days after it had come been released. The issue is that previously all apps i ever installed were working. Since the upgrade most of the heavy games such as Asphalt 6, Asphalt 7, GT motor academy and many more are not running or stop working even before the race starts.
I had bricked my phone 6 months ago in an attempt to root it and with the help of a ROM from XDA, i was able to get my phone running again. After this my phone refused to get updated through PC suite but successfully went through the Sony updater.
Can anyone plz tell me if this can be fixed and what is causing it??

It's more of an ics problem, I have issues with games as well but not the ones you mentioned.
Ics is not game friendly like gb was, not100% certain but don't think there is a work around other than going back to gb.

Angry Birds Runs on Arc S?
hi,
Anyone tried Angry Birds GO?
I gave it try in 2 or 3 ROMs i like, i never succeded ...
Perhaps too heavy for our device?
I am not a heavy player, just once in a while some asphalt 7 and have no problems with that...
Thanks,
Anyone?

I don't want to lose my apps/games data for nothing...
I have a lot of games and apps installed on my device...
So backing up and restoring take time...
But it seems no one of ordinary members tested JB ROMs...
And there is no dualboot kernal for switching between GB and JB...
I think I will stay on GB ROMs for some time...
Just saying, backing up takes 3 minutes. They should be smooth, but the gaming performance won't be as good as GB, I presume.
Works really smooth and fast only thing stopping me using it as a daily rom is the audio routing issue

Better for gaming of course! whit my fix for touchpads and gamepad for CM9 and 10.

JB is better than ICS in many aspects.
The only thing i hate is the camera and audio bug....

Yes i think it just works normal, i never had any problems restoring data from ics to jb. altough going to jb from gb is a bigger step so im not fully sure.
Thanks for the response. I think I'll wait to see if there is ever some sort of touchpad fix to have better compatibility and then I'll move from ICS. Yea, I guess it's because FXP is swamped with those other devices but lets see. I have a feeling though that when Archos release there gaming tablet with that 1000+ game compatibility that someone just might port it over to us. Heres hoping

Do ICS ROMs fair any better? Can you play all games on them? Thinking of installing a custom ROM but won't be looking at an ICS one if it can't play all games with touchpads yet.

Read what i said. You cant have anything. I want an watch with waterfall too. The prob is some of the games are based on Sony framework, that means that they work or they just use some drivers.
Srsly, nothing works 100%

Not possible with ICS,on any ROM,games lag to much,i have tried ICS stock,and with Ultimate HD but to laggy,so i downgrade it to GB.GB rocks with heavy gaming.

The only game I'm aware of that doesn't work with ICS is Shadowgun, all other games should generally work on ICS, more so if you're using a custom ROM, I'm using Xperia Ultimate HD2, and it works pretty well, plenty of Ram available, just make sure you don't fill your phone with apps that use up your phones storage and runs in the background, try finding alternative apps that are smaller and don't run on the background constantly. If you have a CPU clocking app, make sure it's set to performance and you should be able to run anything.

Did you play heroes o&c? My arc s runs runs smooth in tutorial but when I loading match, it fc.

Ah, no I haven't, I don't really like games on mobile devices, and I refuse to download a game that's 800mb, mainly because I only have an 8gb S.D card, if you check the reviews, people with our phone seem to be able to play it.

if you're much of a gamer, just install x-gamer rom. it's based on GB but tweaked

[Q] NEW ROM, I need your opinions!!

Hey Everyone
I have recently started developing my first ROM, it will be GB for maximum gaming performance on the Xperia PLAY - I may add support for more devices later on.. If i can lol - I am a newbie developer after all
I don't want to reveal too much about the ROM itself, but let's just say, I'm almost certain you'll like it.. Or at least try it
Basically, for one of the Add-ons, I will be including games in a zip that you can flash through CWM and I would like to know;
Which games would you like?
I will not be sharing any cracked versions of games however! I will only use games that are free to install anyway!
So, please comment and let me know
You should make a zip with all of best emulators. But for games I think its better for everyone yo just install what they want

Instead, u should add titanium backup so everyone can restore their own games.

That's what I was thinking, but I thought I would see what the majority of people said before making any decisions..
I will include the emulators though
About the emulators though; which are the best free ones? I haven't used emulators in quite a while

Your media apps or modified framework doesn't matter. The fact that you're running ICS already says everything. ICS is a bad choice if you want to play a high end game like Dead Trigger. Please switch to another ROM if you still want to play this game.

That's why you might as well switch to another ROM that can run this game all the time.
