Q - ICS rom's - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed icelite for a while but found it to be not as fast as the miui rom I had been using
It now seems everyone is one ics and i just wanted to see if i could get some feedback on the roms before i pick to flash
So i just wondered if people if they wouldnt mind start giving me a little insight into the ics rom's and how they are performing ?

icelite is just ok,same as other ics for arc,just the problem is ics itself,maybe not as stable as gb,i think maybe because it cannot control multitasking as good as gb,when you close an app and starting new app,the recently closed app will just running,so it might cause lag,it is not killed or freeze,just my opinion,correct me if im wrong
from the ARC

There are a few scripts/tweaks to be found in the android threads that vastly improve ALL roms. I'd recommend supercharger by zep, amongst 2 or 3...

Flashed jj rom but in comparison it is slow compared to miui
How is ics better at the moment I don't get it ?

Agree with you there, it's not a vast difference like 1.6 to 2.1 was. Probably the only reason I'm staying on ics is for chrome browser, tbh.

All the Ics roms are in beta stage. They are not ready for every day use.

Went back to arconium 2.3.4 ROM after 20-30mins on arconium ICS ROM.
Gingerbread blows ICS out of the water at the moment.
I hope that changes when offcicial ICS comes out

Stock ics beta is flawless with wifi enabler and v6 supercharger. Everything works, have been using it for 2 weeks now without any problems.
But gingerbread has more available mods and is rock-stable.

Data works on cm9. It's by no means a perfect ROM, but I love running the very latest Cyanogenmod, you can even overclock the kernel!

Well, Iam using ICS and it`s pretty smoth and fast... Ofc i use SuperCharge V6. there are still no overclocking kernels up yet. Hope they will be released soon!

Guys,
I am using KA 07 Ice Cream Sony Rom and it is by far d best ICS rom among others. I am a huge fan of Xperiamod but KA07 ICS is far better than XperiaMod ICS.. Do try it..

which are the best ROM for arc/arcs xperia mod/arconium/cm7

hey guys any idea which is best for you?
The best stock based ROM is imo Acronium, but I like CM7 more.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
nice love CM7 too
Stock+tweaks is the best! Since you can utilize all features of your phone with stock only! Hence acronium or xperia mod gets my vote. Both of them are nearly identical since they are based on stock ROM.
What's better:
xperia mod or arconium?
Just tried arconium and I'm liking it so far.

No the best ROM is SE Tweaked 0.8.5 compaed to any other stock or custom build. Team it with Doomkernel and you have a superb lag free fast phone.. For me CM always appeared dull compared to the stock ROMs. And typical to any CM ROM it had missing features and poor battery.

With cm you also cant use the keyboard in landscape properly without hammering the space bar key which is pretty retarded imo. Also the camera sucks. Im on stock with doom kernel personally. I had a look at arconium but couldn't really see any benefit over stock rom same with xperia mod. Might give se tweaked a go though.
what about stock .62 ? anyone used it ?
Which are the best ROM for battery??? Arconium, xperiamod or se tweaked??? Only expert please and one reason thanks
Enviado desde mi LT15i usando Tapatalk
I have used Arconium with doomlord kernel for few weeks now. Very good battery usage in my average use (2 days usualy). I tested few roms and always went back to stock, before I found Arconium.
SoftWhite MIUI! I love it!
i Use FXP104 an i love it, the only think i dont like is that the batterie lasts not very long
my vote for Arconium with DooMKernel
..fast, no lags, and battery drain is excellent
I'm happy with stock 042 but I'm thinking to give a try to Arconium....
Do it
I regret that I waited till I tried it, it's AWESOME!

Can I add the Bravia Engine and SE camera app in Arconium?
can any of these roms be installed on a rooted & recovery installed but LOCKED BOOTLOADER Arc S?? reason i ask is that i used to use a W8 & i didnt unlock bootloader on that but i was still able to flash custom roms in it......i m really very apprehensive about unlocking bootloader in case i brick it or something

Most STABLE ICS rom?

Hello guys i have been trying a few ICS roms now but i still wondering how i can get the most stable ics experience.
The best ive got now is like 2 phone crashes a day. I am useing the Krabappel rom (KA)
Id like to have ics for the touchpad functinality in fpse.
Oh another question, is it possible to get the xperia play gamepad working with onlive on ice cream sandwich? It worked perfect on gingerbread.
Thanks for your time.
May I ask why you want ICS? Gingerbread is perfect, why upgrade to a buggy beta? Compatibility sucks on ICS.
If you care about your games, the best thing to do is stay on gb. The only stable ics roms are cm9 based with no touchpads working. Some games actually detect that you have an xperia play and show you the control schemes but the touchpads won't work.

He didn't ask about the compatibility, he asked for the most stable ics rom.
Besides, fpse will only work with ICS beta released by sony. Only ics beta has different touchpads implementation. But the beta is very slow, laggy and pissing off.

NXT v1.2 with DooMkernel. I honestly can't speak highly enough of it. If you choose it I suggest you flash the accompanying add-ons as well. Contains some kind of new Timescape layout that looks brilliant

FXP125 works much better than AokPlay for me
Aokplay is amazing, especially now with the touchpad fix. However some games don't work at all.
Try Darkforest ICS. I tried almost all of the ROMs in the past few days, and that worked the most smoothly. Anyway Gingerbread still works better, so now I'm on Gin2ICS 1.7.7. Sadly the touchpads doesn't work properly in Order and Chaos with any of the ICS ROMs.

All ics roms for vivow have some issues. The question is do you want sense or aosp?
UKB is probably the best sense rom out right now. Sense 4, android 4.0.3. Smooth, fast, excellent battery. Camera fcs a lot for some.
For aosp, you have Kangdemnation or an older version of PA. PA is moving on to JB, but I think version 1.9.5 is ics.
Most of the problems are camera related, but many have been fixed. BT is another area of concern/ongoing development. Sound issues, too.
Search through the threads for these issues before you ask a question. Most of these threads are quite large.

If you don't feel the need for Ice Cream Sandwich, I use Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable for my "old reliable" It's much faster than stock, better battery life, and everything works 100% for me. Just my 2 cents.
I'm pretty much a rookie myself, and wanted the most stable ics rom I could get. The UKB looked great, but I decided to try tazz's ic rom first. It sounds like it should be stable too. I just flashed it earlier today, so haven't had much time with it yet, but so far it looks great. It sucks as much as everyone in that thread promised.
In my experience, Tazz's ROM is probably the number one out there right now. Granted, you're stuck with Sense but there are some devs out there stripping Sense away from this ROM and another one. Everything works out of the box (including camera which is huge for me), but like I mentioned, you're stuck with Sense and I've personally moved to Paranoid Android 1.5a which has CM9 as a base. Works pretty great, although my ffc pictures often show up corrupt/glitchy/garbled. Now to make more posts so I can have the privilege of commenting about this bug...

If u r on cdma then use UKB X, if on gsm use IC Tazz. Both the roms are very gud. I faced bootloop in gsm with UKB X and V.
otherwise ukb is better.
So I guess this shows my noobness, I'm wanting to root my wife's incredible 2 and not sure if she has cdma or gsm. How do I know/find out?
What's your carrier
Is it Verizon? If it is then its cdma.

LOL yeah, that was an entertaining and informative thread!
I just stuck to the Aeroevan's CM9 07/12 build with v12 kernel (pretty outdated, but I don't use the phone anymore) and gave it to my mother. So far, she's loving it to the point where she's completely oblivious to the world when she's using an app.
I woild definitely recommend Aero's CM9 build if you want a speedy rom with mostly everything working (720p recording doesn't work sadly)
But if you want an extremely stable ROM, then go for Tazz/Mac's IC Tazz ROM and have fun with the suckiness of the ROM. XD
I woukd also recommend Nit's UKB just because it's a treat and its packed with lots of Sense 4.0 goodies.

Apparently I've gone flashing-crazy (I blame upgrading to TB Pro :laugh: ) and have also tried UKB V and can now recommend it too as rookie-safe. The only problem is I'm having so much fun trying out new roms, I'm now finding myself searching for other roms to play with...

Howso? I'm trying out NXT right now, and I've actually found it to be slightly slower than Gin2JB
1.2 is bug free and to me has better battery life.
1.3 has some minor bugs and has better performance.
I prefer 1.2 cause i would like my phone to have no bugs

Thank you all for your comments!
The NXT rom until now is the best.... Jackleboltt said that gin2jelly is faster than NXT, how is battery life compared to NXT?
NXT has better battery life than Dixperia2.
cheers! :good:
I think NXT Rom 1.3 is the best rom available RIGHT NOW for XperiaPlay.
Only 2 (irrelevant) bugs:
1-When u connect the phone to charger AC, phone turns on
2-Camera app doesn't work if Flahslight on QuickPanel is set
I'd prefer gin2jellybean for the looks & perf. If not i can just use its theme on both dixperia 2 & Nxt rom.
Regards,
Sdojoin
Thanx for your feedbacks!
So in bottom line the best roms are, NXT, Dixperia2 and Gin2jelly...
Anyone has used Trueancestor or the Cyanogenmod? or any other GB stable rom?
thanx again!
Cheers! :good:
