Ice cream sandwich vs Gingerbread - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I know I asked so much question about "Which rom is better?". But I'm sure this is my last question. Yes. Here is the question.
I want long battery life, awesome game playing, and smooth system. Im sure everybody think best rom is gingerbread. But why people chose Ics ?
İcs: better UI looking
Better looking app swithcer
Chrome, good launchers
Gingerbread:smooth rom
Long battery life
Better gaming
Etc.

Look:
Gingerbread:
Smoother UI
Fluent
Easy to use
Better Gaming More RAM can Be Allocated to the Games.
ICS
Better UI
Fluent
Average Knowledge needed
Uses "MORE RAM" Just to run the android OS.
Gaming Will have Lag Because of the Play having Only 512MB RAM.

So why people choose Ics I cant understand.

ICS is still beta,when it will be finally released it will probably be better than Gingerbread.

Yep, I think ill stick to ginger till we have all full feature on

When it's officially released and Sony say say that they've fixed everything and will run smooth and won't be a memory hog on 512 mb ram phones then i'll definitely be upgrading to ICS

Because there are people who care to experiment, read instructions and give feedback instead of wasting their time and everyone else's asking which ROM is better.

This is a question and therefore goes in the Q&A section. Please think twice before posting a question in the Android Development section.
To answer your original question, RemPuzzle is best when overclocked to about 672. It's smooth and fluid. And majority of people know what Sense looks like, but not AOSP. It will have a learning curve attached if you go for AOSP ROMs. CM9 is also unstable and not suitable for daily use if you're not a dev. I use it for my daily driver but the camera, video playback etc. doesn't work.
You could take a look at my reviews thread.
I recommend you CM7 cause it has many cool features and animations and is the most popular one on the web. And I also is very stable. I won't recommend you CM9 cause its under development, Many things aren't supported yet.

It's not the lightest or snappier though.

Rempuzzle is the best. Overclocked to 691Mhz keeps it very quick, wait for the 2.70 update to get a sense 4.0 look
She is very glad with using RemPuzzle. I check RemPuzzles topic every day for news ^^ But this rom has lags sometimes. Is a method for this? I want to make her happy with using Wildfire. I know wildfire isnt a good phone but maby there are tips or apps to make phone smoother and faster? Thanks

Except overclocking or tweaking some thing on the rom, don't really know any more things to do to make it faster or snappier.. maybe someone else knows tho.
I found kwbr Wildfire 4.0 as fastest and stable. In other sense ROMs had lags. This one fits me best. Added new kernel, overclock and it's best by now

[Q] Best ICS ROM for HD gaming with Xperia controls + fast?

I'm looking for an ICS ROM which doesn't mess with my battery because of wifi drivers, half of my ram, can't record video and can't run GTA3 for more than eight seconds (...*cough*CM9*cough*...)
I'm looking for something that can play Shadowgun with Xperia controls, AOSP themed, runs fast, deodexed, isn't a ram or battery hog, and is fast.
Can't choose between Darkforest ICS, ICS++ and many others so I'm asking, what would be the best ROM for gaming and speed?
Sent from the best gaming android smartphone in the world with the best forum android app in the world
Lol me too. Im in DarkForest now, but will try ICS++ later this day. Personally i don't have a problem with Darkforest as my problem is in ICS Beta itself that can see in every ICS based ROM, atleast someone said that to me.
But ICS++ looks promising as i really dig the AOSP look and everything.

Wait for official ICS
All the current ICS roms have issues in one way or another and don't work as well as stock gingerbread.

If you want to play games, bug free, stick with GB for now

Gaming roms

Is it better to play games with GB roms, or ICS roms? If possible, state the rom
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
IMO if u like GB then use the baseband ver. XXLM8 its smooth but if you like ICS then use CM9 by arco..
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app
Personally, i tried CM9 and GB and there is really a huge difference in gaming... CM9 is really not that excellent in terms of gaming, but how is the BETA version?

I think the most stable rom for gaming is still the gb because ics for our device is just released and still take time for other games to adapt to our ics based.
Sorry if i'm wrong just saying my opinion

I'm not a pro gamer, but imho CM9 works much better with games than stock GB ROM (less lag, more fluid gaming experience).

[Q] disadvantages of CM9

What is the disadvantages of CM9 ??
Camera quality isn't as good and slower to take photos, interface is a bit laggier than a stripped down stock gingerbread, battery drain can be worse depending on customisations and tweaks, some apps run slower/graphics can be jerkier/Mobo player is buggy (an ICS issue)
Advantages are AOSP interface, higher app compatibility, ability to install application data to the SD card and many more

I think the battery is quite good. Because mine can hold even almost 1 day. You should wait for 3 - 4 cycle charge before you can complaint about the battery issue If you just flashed rom. About the other I can say much because I don't use gb rom very much.
But for me cm9 is good fast smooth and stable for me

You should at least try using some GB roms before coming to a conclusion

I think the strength of cm9 is in its ability to hold large amount of Apps without lagging like stock does.
The one and only thing I can think of is the fact that there are too many different choices you do not know which suits you.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
If you want to use GB roms then use RebelROM something like that... simple like GB Stock but more reliable and transparent and it has no complaint.. i use just a month and then join ICS

I used a whole bunch of GB ROMs for the W before eventually settling with CM9 again after thinking it was giving me battery drains since CM9 provided a cleaner and smoother interface also better gaming experience than any of the GB ROMs provided.
GB is alright but compared to ICS and CM9 its not as good if you do alot of gaming since I found even the best GB ROM has more lag than CM9 gaming wise.

About battery life and performance on Xperia Arc.

Well, I've tried a tons of ROMs of ICS and JB. A couple weeks ago I tested a GB one, and like it too much, cause there's an excellent battery drain and performance is just perfect, no lag, never. Including with games like Modern Warfare 4, Dead Trigger (with full textures and not overclocked with conservative governor in noop), etc.
The thing here is that GB doesn't support a couple of apps that are only available on ICS+, and I'm thinking onto changing my ROM.
What ROM you recommend? You know, overall speed, great gaming, and a great battery life.
Thanks.
Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097137. All roms are good depends on ur choice and preferences. So I think there is no recommendation from my side coz it depends on you what to chose. And its absolutely common sense that u have to sacrifice battery life if u want performance. And please dont make threads for such topics. As its against xda rules.

Xperia Pureness / Ice Cream Pureness (with installed service pack 1) ROM together with KTG Anzu kernel gives you both battery and performance. And also the best custom UI ever on the Arc / Arc S!

That.
+ There is no ICS ROM, that would have performance and battery usage of GB. It just isn't possible.
