Arc S - Best Rom for Performance

Hi Guys,
As the title says, I would like to know which is the best Arc S Rom for overall performance/smootheness.
I'm currently on the stock Gingerbread Rom, and honestly I'm quite happy with it, but I really like some of the extra features that ICS has.
The thing is, with all the negative feedback people are giving about lagging and battery consumption, i'm apprehensive about updating.
So I would just like to hear some honest opinions on what do you find is the best ROM, and how does it stack up to the stock gingerbread one.
Thanks

Recently upgraded to the Mooded 4.0.4 rom and it has been great! Coming from Doom's 4.0.3 rom, the newer rom is MUCH better! Overall very responsive and as a result, i can run at 700mhz all day, with no noticeable lags! I did have GB once, but that was quite a while ago, so i can't really compare.. Hope this helps
Current setup: Mooded 4.0.4 rom + ArcKnight RC2 Kernel

GB.
Rooted 2.3.4, Removed all Junk apps.
Ill Tried so many ROMs, all are in my eyes crap.
****ty compatibility, all ics had Problems with 720p Recording, Crappy Games Compatibility and stuff
At least such Superlative ROM Titles like "Hd Gaming, Superfast, GPU Oc" are all lies
Arc isnt a good ICS Base.
No Dualcore, to small RAM.
Gb is The best Choice.
I love the ICS Holo Style.. But for me, Function over Design.
On my old Defy, with Quarx Cm9, all Games runs like Hell, Do a Test, putt Real Racing2 on your ArcS..
On Defy, a ****ing Performance, on Arc, a crappy Joke, even Menue Stuck every Second.
ARCONIUMS work is good.
Now, with GB on 1.6Ghz, ms Arc runs like Charm

Arc does not need even the OC to be fully capable of running ICS. I think you haven't tried Arconium ICS 2.4, the one with the software rendering enabled. Find it in the Dev section and BE HAPPY. It's smooth as hell, everything works fine and I haven't had ANY problems with it so far.

Performance & Smootheness...
I suggest Arconium(GB) , JJ's Hybrid(ICS).

CM7.2 from FXP130 is the best one. It is base on gingerbread. Amazingly fast and support themes. The only issue is it needed custom launcher. I suggested Go launcher. It have ability to overclock up to 1.6 ghz and many other stuffs. Tested and work with many games nice and smooth. Asphalt 6 running fluency. Shadow guns running fine with chinfire 3d by change open gl to nvidia. 200+ free ram. That it!
Edited: if you want holo theme. Theme it CM7.2 have lots of themes including ICS.

i recommend jjhybrid for performance and smoothness. i use this rom from 2.5v til now 3.2v...

im using arconium 4 with XArc kernel. at first it was a little bit laggy but after i installed latest V6 + kick ass kernelizer it was great. very smooth scrolling and everything works just fine
and i overclocked to 1,6GHz for daily use, no heat and stable with XArc

GB is dead, deal with it!
Move on.

JJ's Rom & doomkernel smoother than butter
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

For perfomance, on GB - Stock 62, Acronium 8.2; on ICS - Acronium 4.0 (if you want stocklike ROM), JJHybrid, both with XArc or ArcKnight 3.5.1 OC kernel.

[Q] Switching to ICS

Hi, I have been reading the Xperia Arc Android Development fourms for the past few hours trying to decide which Custom Rom / Firmware to go with. I'm simply looking for a method to update my Arc towards a light/speedy phone with ICS.
I have had a few names shout out at me but currently its
Acronium 4.0 -> Trinity Kernal v1.6 or a recommended one he suggests.
I've seen that Trinity is created by the same author as MooDeD ICS.
Pretty much what I'm trying to say is its pretty hard to differentiate which custom rom would be better than the other ...
If I could be directed in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.
-Sincerely
Steven

Hey, the combination you already wrote is the fasted ICS combination at the moment. Flash Arconium 4.0, Trinity Kernel v1.6 and the new Xperia S apps. You wont really find a faster combination than this right now.

As I know, Trinity kernel has incompatibility to some apps. I use ArcKnight 3.3 which is very good in battery life.
for the ROM, arconium 4 still the best for now.

Regreted changing to ICS
I regreted changing to ICS
Almost all custom ICS ROMs out there don't perform as promised and they are somewhat laggy
I've double-wiped before installing the ROMs so I believe it's not my problem
And GB can give me the smoothness and responsiveness that no other ICS ROMs can

Well try only 4.0.4 based ROM, for speed and responsiveness, I can recommend CM9, AOKP, and JJ Hybrid. Many others claimed Acronium is the fastest, but I've not try it.
My 2 cents

Arconium icS v4.

If u really care about your battery life, U should choose arconium...
Arconium with stock kernal has the best battery life....
I mean the best batery life...!!!!!!!
its pretty smooth aswell...

Thanks for the reply guys, it was very helpful.

Best Arc S Stable Rom and Kernel combination.

What is the best current combination for the Arc S? Preferebly updated in the last month with the release of Jelly Bean.
I've tried several roms; JJ, Chaos and others, with DoomKernel, Trinity, Stock with CWM etc.
Looking for something stable, smooth and battery friendly(obviously without compromising too much on performance).
Please only suggest something you have tried and tested, don't care much for past success.
Thanks.
Arc S
Ice Cream Pureness[Build 10][4.0.4]
Xarc Kernel 2.0.431
72

Find out yourself

Well you mentioned all the roms out there!
So please wait for any new rom s!
(you'd have to!)

Well, my last ROM was stock 4.0.4 supercharged, 3G speed-touch-video-overall speed tweaks, and it was a good one (normal stock battery drain).
Now I'm using CM9, the speed and smoothness is impressive, there's absolutely NO lag. But, battery drain is absurdly excessive. So, it's perfect if you like to charge your phone every 2 hours.
Now, I'm gonna try JJ ROM with Arc Knight kernel. Let's see if it have a good (general) response as CM9 and normal battery drain like stock.

Official gb
Cm7
Miui gb
Cm9 stable release
These are stable and good for daily use

Had been using MIUI for months.
Now I'm switching, back and forth between JJ's ROM and Ice Cream Pureness these days.:silly:

[Q] Which rom is better? ICS vs JB

So I would just like to know currently which ROM is better for gaming and everyday use. I know that JB was supposed to be much faster than ICS but I don't know how far it is in terms of porting. So which is better for gaming and everyday use? When I say gaming I mean with touchpad support fixes and stuff. Also please don't consider the speaker problem on JB as I have considered that. Any help is welcomed.

ICS should be more stable. At this point it's difficult to get a polished JB rom because there is no official rom from Sony to build something around it for Xperia Play, but some JB projects look promising so stay tuned.

Agree with this, JB seems promising though the FXP team are working hard at it. But if you want something with most things working go for an ICS based ROM

Is ICS still the way to go? Or is JB now the better alternative to GB?

JB is better at caching, which means you can multitask better and stuff. But on most JB ROMs panorama and video recording are not fixed yet, so if you want a fully working phone , go with ICS. I have also noticed that ICS is smoother in gaming, so if you are a gamer, you better stick with ICS. However, personally I would think that JB is smoother than ICS in general.

Stick with GB. ICS lags on gaming.

So far ive used ics and jb. But currently in love with cm10 jb. I love the stock feel with it. Lolz. Not a gamer much. Just wanted a full brewed working android phone.

Ics is definately the best. Currently ics beta 4.0.4. Has no bugs camera works and wifi works perfectly . Gaming is also very smooth with very little problems. Jelly Bean has a lot of bugs. And isnt very stable.
GO FOR ICS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Some jelly bean Roms are much smother then you every ics Rom.

GB, ICS or JB ROM?

I am probably going to root my friends DHD soon and wondering if I should stick with CM7.2 as I presume its pretty rock solid and reasonably fast or go with an ICS or JB rom that obviously has newer features but could be less stable. I know everyone's perfect roms aren't the same but are there any ICS/JB roms out there for the DHD that are stable, quick, having (almost) everything worling and preferably stock AOSP rather than sense?
I'm from the desire so don't know much about the DHD scene, any recommendations would be appreciated
Cheers

I should try Sabsa Prime V9 (can't judge V10 yet) because it's so smooth as you possibly won't see ever again in a Sense ROM.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda PREMIUM running Sabsa Prime V9.

aospX. It's in the Inspire 4G forums, but I4G ROMs are compatible with DHDs. Almost pure AOSP.
EDIT: Another advantage is that aospX is still actively supported by the developer existz; the other AOSP-like ROM (though AOKP) is IceColdSandwich in the DHD forums, but the developer LordclockaN has officially moved on (thought he still stops by every now and then). aospX updates less often, but each one is rock solid.

I would personally recommend AOKP over AOSPx- it's been updated a little more recently, and a lot more tweaks. Stable too. However, the camera is no where up to par with the HTC Sense ones- with a sense ROM I can take digital camera quality images, whereas with the stock AOSP camera I can at best take semi okay images. Maybe not an issue, but for me it was.
ViperDHD is the best 4.x and HTC Sense ROM for our phone in terms of tweaks, but I think it's slow as a hog, although others may have different experiences.
I wouldn't go with JB if your friend needs someone else to root their phone . While it's mostly stable, battery life isn't always up to par. The only ROM I've gotten daily user battery life from is MIUI by bliind (haven't tried the knew one though)
However, my final recommendation would be Blackout ICS. It's extremely stable, is fairly fast, and has a good amount of tweaks. Sense 3.6 android 4.0.4. If you want to go with GB, go with blackice and change the dpi back to stock (240).
Better yet, check out my sig

Ok thank you for the recommendations guys ill have a look.
Cheers!
