Simple problem: when i start NFS Hot Pursuit on a ICS rom the sound/music stutters badly whenever i enter a race (the video is fine). I have tried some ICS roms (JJ's v3, arconium v5 ICS) and kernels (DoomKernel v4, ICS Stock) but with same results. Is a problem with the kernel/rom or is a known issue with ICS? The game runs perfect on 2.3.4 stock rom and arconium 8.0 (gingerbread) so isn't a problem with the phone (LT15i).
ICS is currently in beta stage. Don't expect everything to work smoothly. Wait for the final update.
Is the only problem that i have with ICS since other games/apps doesn't have this problem so i guess that i'll stay on beta a little longer, don't want to downgrade yet for only one misbehaving app.
ICS very buggy
ics is still very buggy, a lot of games dont work , and is slow as Hell!!!

Hey everybody
I've been running CM 7.2.0 for LT15i for a while now without any problems but I wanted to upgrade to ICS so I first tried miui_lt15i-2.3.23 but GSM wasn't working, then I tried MooDeD ICS 40.5 W1ndy Series with all the extra installers found on the forums, and it works well apart from the fact I had to use 2 finger to play games like angry birds. I was wondering if there was a Basic/Raw ICS without Vendor Apps and extra junk on it, so that it runs really smooth.
Sorry for being a pain.

im running ka11 ice cream sony rom and its wonderful
slow loading screen with angry birds space but then its really smooth and responsive otherwise
also download Apex launcher from store, its smoother and customizable and looks like default ics launcher
i am currently running Ice Cream Pureness rom with stock ics kernel....but i tried to play real racing 2 which had very choppy gameplay....i initially thought that maybe the Arc S hardware isnt capable...but i read somewhere that it might be down to what rom & kernel i use. Is this true? If so, then what rom & kernel combination would be the best for full on performance?
Revert back to GB for ultimate gaming pleasure.

I play real racing 2 with arconium 4 with KTG kernel, runs fine, but the game ONLY crash everytime I try to play the H2 NRGEE cup, also sometimes the menu lags
well...i am using jj's hybrid rom with stock kernel....the game ceased to be choppy but now it crashes & goes to homescreen without warning....which didnt really happen before
GB is not dead. i find GB more battery friendly and stable for playing HD games and besides there's not much difference ics and gb its only the numbers.
Not only the Numbers.
Theres a BIg Difference in ICs & gb
100% true story

Try CM10 unofficial
Any good roms for Xperia arc with stock kernel? I can't unlock my bootloader, so I'm bound to use the stock kernel.

From my experience with Pureness V10/11 its always laggy with games.
If you don't care about graphical user interface , definitely JJ hybrid rom is great (fast - compatible with games - has ROM control as well) ,few bugs though like wifi hotspot http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1537717
If you care about having nice user interface with reasonable game performance with lots of free ram available you can try Jelly sandwich http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1836993 or the Remix http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1884958
For the Kernel i always advice to use stock kernel in order to avoid battery drain issues.

I'm using ArcKnigt Kernel RC 3.4.
I agree with you on Pureness V10 always laggy with hq games.
I tried JJ's Hybrid rom but i guess i am a UI person and changed myselft into Jelly Sandwich 6.2 with lots of free ram. Also i can play Real Racer, Agent Dash etc witout lag. :good:
But for a game performance i guess JJ > Jelly Sandwich 6.2 for my observe.
Didnt test Jelly Sandwich 7.0. Maybe that one a bit faster than 6.2 who knows?
definitely jj's hybrid rom with Archnight Kernel 3.5.1 . played most of the games without any problems on this rom.
i always recomande xperia ice bean 4.2n!
Try Xgamer 1.6...Its based on GB thot...Best gaming experience , lots of free ram...Gb 2.3.7 based...Ics is not meant for gaming mate...Understand this..and Gb is not dead yet...
GB is better than ICS in case of playing game, but if you like ICS, choose advanced stock kernel ,jelly sandwich or Ultimate HD 2.0 Rom.
The latest CM10 is amazing

I've tried xgamer 1.6 on xperia arc GB .64,used doomkernelv22 and had battery issues,my battery drained every 3 minutes 1%.So i don't know if that was problem with my phone and me only but i don't think xgamer ROM is ideal.
Till now i used GB .42-Arconium 8.2-doomkernel v22 and it was perfect,with games,smooth no lag,very,very stable.But...now i'm on GB.62 Stock rom-doomkernel v22 snd some new apps from xperia s,didn't try gamings yet but one is sure,GB rocks with gaming,ICS on the other hand,sucks.

To those who have tried CM10-based ROM either FXP, AOKP, or MIUI, I know CM10 has good performance and smoothness all-around,
but I'm curious about these 2 things
How is the gaming performance, mainly Temple Run which I play a lot when waiting or sitting around?
How is the photo quality from camera compared to stock ROM?
(I never tried CM-based ROM so I'm a little bit nervous about trying it, and also I heard that Titanium-backup doesn't work, so I can't restore applications data, which means there'll be lots of work to re-customize the apps .)

Yeah try Cm10 fxp142 or fxp143 (I think fxp143 will come out tomorrow).
Firstly, gaming is amazing! Best gaming ROM I've ever tried thanks to project butter and jelly bean. Modern Combat 3 runs smoothly, and temple run flawlessly.
Secondly, the camera is camera ics from play store. Download it and give it a go and make a judgement if that's good enough for you. Also adfree removes ads on camera ICS, so that's pretty much everybody's set up.
Conclusion: get cm10. Its awesome.
Hit the thanks button if I helped

CM10 sux at gaming bro. Idk about the camera quality but CM10 is too heavy and buggy. Use ICS Pureness. It's been the best ICS rom i came through so far.
for normal use even if in beta stage cm10 is much smoother and snapier than ICS. rest gaming is bit buggy but as more stable versions come it will also get better. for camera the libs are not available for jb so it has problems well most of the jb roms here use ics camera app.
i use paranoid android with fusion kernel 3.5 with no problems .

I've already tried most of Stock-based ROM on the forum, maybe I'll try that too, but I don't have performance issue or anything, even in my current setup in signature, everything (games and what not) runs smoothly,
I just wanted have a taste of Jelly Bean, and since Sony is not updating, I thought about CM10.

Hello everyone
I think it would be time to try a newer version of android, But can not decide which, maybe you could help me and explain to what is better ics or jb. Which is faster. I need your opinions
Thanks for your help
jb.. better features.. almost same or better speed than ICS. Touchpads probs in JB more than ICS. but you can try different ROMS and check.
I've tried several roms in all my days with my PLAY and I can assure you ICS is the best IN THE ACTUAL MOMENT. Why? Some days ago I was with a JB on my phone and the touchpads still kind a lag a bit in some games, and this don't happen on ICS roms as far as I know.
true dat.. after writing my comment on top.. I also shifted to MIUI v4 ICS.. and yes.. touchpads run.. phone runs.. everything funs proper.. ICS is the best mix of GB and JB.
well i almost used all the roms over xperia play forum and too many ported roms but myself from arc
i can say that nothing can give me the experience of gb but if you can deal with video lags because of outdated graphic drivers
but if you want to switch to a higher android version i will suggest ics to you
all of the jb roms have some video related problem (i dont know why ) and games are not running well in jb
but jb is a little faster in ui if you choose a well tweaked rom like super jb
but if we get a 3.4 kernel we can have a great working kit kat with great speed in games (achotjan is getting the xperia play soon :victory: )
(even x10 has kit kat now :crying: )
KITKAT WOULD BE GREAT :d
Warning: This is not a question. And if i posted it on wrong thread, let me know and i will delete it. Finally i apologize for bad english.
I have used my xperia play for 1.3 years and i tried many roms. For gb roms, i tried NXT 1.3, NXT 2 r1, DiXperia 2 & 3, AuroraPlay 2.0, xElite Gamer 2.0, Gin2KitKat 3.1.0, Atomic GB 7.1(by Sewer56lol), and some outdated gb roms. However they dont satisfy me. For Nxt 2 r1, gta vc lags but ppsspp smooth, and for auroraplay, gta vc smooth ppsspp lags, same goes to other gb roms. About ICS roms, i tried many too except cm9 & cm10 based, i like ICS roms because many features and looks nicer but i won't use it for more than 1 month because the gaming performance is very poor and gamekeyboard is very unstable on ICS roms. I have returned to stock rom(.58 enhanced v3) once and the performance is very good but the ui looks very ugly. So after some use i went to ICS roms and then to gb roms. Now im lost and i cant decide which rom i should use and now im thinking about return to stock rom again but i have no knowledge about theming stock rom or change the framework of stock rom. So im stuck in the roms and i guess im pretty much bored of the roms and the device itself.....But im sure i won't sell my xperia play because its epic gamepad and im not rich enough to get newer phones
I've had the xperia play for almost 3 years here, and i can totally relate to your arguments. Gaming performance being poor on ics roms and the GB and JB roms having an uglier ui. It's been stated that GB works the best for gaming. However for ICS and GB, if you're facing terrible lag which gets to the point where your games are unplayable then you should do something about it. I'm not sure if there's a way to completely get rid of the lag on the xperia phones but what i did was install some tweaks such as 'Liquid Speed' and 'Pure Performances' which did the trick for me . That being said, there are a lot more tweaks than the ones i mentioned but i am using these 2 and even though i'm using the rom xperia z express ics, most games barely lag
PS: The gamepad works fine for me, so it must be the rom you're using
I wish you luck

Use MIUI v4 ICS.. it gives u good theme options.. Touchpad/Gamepad works amazing.. am on it at the Moment.. with Turbo Kernel 3.1.1 which gives 400mb space. you should try it out for sure.. I use it with 256mb Swapfile. no scripts and it works good enough.. for sure with scripts would work even better.. I overclock it at max 1ghz.. never more..
