'Best' ROM is always going to be a subjective matter. Just install a few and try them out over a couple of days, then you can decide yourself.
Try CM9, ICS, CM7, Keiran's ROMs (MIUI), Cola ROM etc; there's loads to choose from

Depends what you want the Play for, but if you want a fully working phone just stick with the stock one. There's plenty of tweaks to get the best out of it without losing bluetooth or the touchpad etc like the alternative roms do.

many roms that you have posted don't work correctly, specially the 3G. I think that i use original firmware for now

maybe you can use jjkkyu's TrueAncestor ROM ​

i have just flashed hybrid evolution 5.2 with 36 baseband and #2 DoomLoRD kernel. its a nice rom, but it still has some flaws...for example i cant download anything via the google play market and the face lock is not working for me...
Im definitely staying with 4.x.x though, as for some reason i like it better than 2.x.x...

The ICS Beta based rom i have tried so far have been really sluggish
Might want to avoid those

I don't think the ICS roms are sluggish. I really like AOKP, ported by Supervenom. It works great. But it really depends on what you like. Maybe you like Miui, maybe you like CM. You'll have to find out yourself.

hi,
I have just rooted my xperia play using super one click.
everyhing is good, titanium said that it has permission so means the phone is rooted.
rom manager also is working fine saying phone is rooted.
i have have installed naZ cwm from playshop and i installed the cwm 5.
everything is alright.
but when i want to back a nandroid backup from either of the app mentioned above the phone boots but does not go into cwm.
i have partitioned the sd card (16gb)
av seen the cwm mode once after i restored the phone to normal and re rooted it never never seen the cwm mode again.
my question is what do i need to do so i can enter cwm mode?
thank you
peace

Try using an older version of the cwm app. The most recent app has issues. Try v5 and below.

No. It's more complicated than using an app. More than likely if your serious about unlocking your phone you should first read up on it more before doing anything drastic like unlocking it.

Ice Cream/Jelly Bean on Xperia Play

Hi,
Ive had my Xperia Play for months, since December, I havent done anything with it, its as fresh as when it came in the box. Having heard the news that they'll be no ICS for the Play I wanted to know how to put ICS on my phone. Im a total noob at this so I'm not sure what to do?

U gonna need to flash custom ROM and probably kernel.
Just browse through android development section to find most suitable ROM n kernel for your device and need

First of all Unlock your BootLoader http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

I went for gin2jellybean rom, does it matter if you flash the kernal via flashtool or cwm?

You can't flash a kernel onto the Play via CWM. You can use Flashtool or Fastboot, doesn't matter which (Flashtool is just the GUI, really)

Issues with Xperia S

Hi Everyone
I unlocked my bootloader a few months ago, rooted, and I flashed a version of ICS, which I think is stock. I dont have receovery installed, I tried to sort that out last night, but I got lost amongst and couldnt work out what to install and how.
Its 4.0.4 - 6.1.A.2.45 - and I am having a few issues with it. It seems to be laggy, the camera freezes when recording video and often crashes and doesn't save the video and the WIFI is just hopeless!
Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there a better .ftp for me to flash? Please leave links if possible because this issue is just driving me insane!
thanks!
Amanda

hi, try to locked your bootloader then repair via pc companion.
and also, for your other question click my signature "Read ME".

If it's unlocked the bootloader then fastboot a custom kernel. Advanced stock is great. Then flash a custom rom. May as I flash a Jellybean rom

The only problem with this is, you need to flash the doomkernal, which requires flashing back to GB? Then you need to install a host of other apps to get it too work. Just so I can flash a custom rom, wow, nothing is easy is it,
This phone is just so damned hard to do anything with, I am considering going to the new Samsung when it comes out in a few months!

No just flash advanced stock kernel instead from development forum. It's ridiculously easy once you're unlocked and have a cwm kernel flashed
Download a custom rom to the phone (i recommend pac rom)
Download advanced stock kernel to pc. Fastboot using that guide.
Then boot into recovery and install zip from sd and pick pac rom (follow the guidelines in pac rom thread for flashing)

Can't install any latest ROM [SOLVED]

Hi there,
I definitely can't install any latest ROMs on my ARC (Ultimate HD 3.x, Zelly Cream,...) using CWM.
The latest ROM that doesn't hang during boot or just give black screen is Ultimate HD 2.0.3 (Ultimate HD MOD works either)!
- I've tried different kernels like Lupus, Fusion, RUSH as recommended in several threads but without any chance with latest ROMs...
- I've also tried re-download ROMs and kernels... No change.
- I've also tried rebooting without SD in case it sucks... No change.
For info I'm not noob, I use custom ROMS since HTC Legend...
I obviously erase /CACHE /DATA /SYSTEM /SD-EXT also dalvik and battery stats each time I install custom roms and always do clean install. No upgrade.
- My bootloader is unlocked,
- I've got one sd-ext partition,
Did I missed any new process that 100% require to use flashtool instead of CWM to flash latest ROMs? If so it suck
I don't really understand the issue this time except hardware failure but I don't have any issue of any kind with any previous ROM. No hang, no bootloop...
Any help would be very welcome
Thanks

Have you tried flashing original Stock. tft then flashing?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Nope. Never had to do so for any ROM since the day I unlocked my bootloader. And it's a so sudden behavior...
Do you think it could work ? I mean is there any specific reason that it could solve the problem? Does the latest ROMs use some brand new drivers or something else that may require that?
I'll give a try because I've checked my baseband and I'm 70 while you're 83... Am I wrong or some ROM do change the baseband while some other don't ?
I did use flashtool but only to update the baseband. not for flashing custom rom... That may be the problem
I start feeling ashamed LOL !!!

yeah, try flashing the latest firmware / baseband first.

Flashing the latest ftf should include the baseband anyway so you shouldn't need to flash separately unless flashing something different.

Yeah I'm sure it will do the trick... I'm definitely noooooob to forgot that baseband stuff... T_T LOL
I'll confirm tonight.
Thanks everyone !

nop
Hi guys,
I've flashed the latest baseband (83) and it didn't change anything!
I've flashed RUSH kernel and install Viper Xperia V4 + modules + baseband 83 libs and it still hang at the same moment. with this ROM it freeze during the boot animation (4th times xperia logo appears if this detail can be useful).
RUSH works fine. Once again if I install Ultimate HD 2.0.3 I've got no issue at all...
I definitely don't understand what's going on...

Odp: Can't install any latest ROM and no I'm not noob !)
Did you flash LT15i ftf or LT18i ftf?
All new ROMs are getting more features and they are getting bigger in size. Arc allocates less space to /system - maybe that's the reason.
When I was on CM10 on LT15i firmware I had about 1MB free space on /system after clean install.
Try flashing LT18i ftf before flashing any custom ROM.

Re: Can't install any latest ROM and no I'm not noob !)
Okay.Try doing it this way.
Flash stock 0.587 ftf.
Fast boot kernel that you want.
I presume the ROM that you need is already on your sdcard.
Go into recovery.Wipe data then go to mount/storage- format/system.Then choose the ROM zip and flash.
Tell me what happens.
For now do not choose any other baseband.Just use stock 77 which is included in the stock ROM.

Ok I'll do so! But I won't be able to do it before EOD Paris time.
Thanks for helping.

No luck...
I've reflashed stock 587.ftf, boot ok on stock at this point.
Then flashed Rush kernel, wiped everything as I used to do and flashed Viper V4...
It's still hanging at the very same point during boot animation! :silly:

Always consider evry custom ROMs instruction. Like in Viper thread, did you note the procedure in flashing the stock firmware?

Re: Can't install any latest ROM and no I'm not noob !)
I am pretty sure that there was nothing wrong in all your attempts earlier.
Sometimes flashing a new rom takes a bit too long to boot up.
I do change roms very often but when I first started I had the very same problems that you faced.
We are so eager to use the newest rom that we do not give a chance for it to read the entire stuff that we've got in our device.
Sometimes first boot takes such a very long time.This is where we make our mistake.
We presume its not working.Or there's something wrong with the rom and a host of other things runs thru our head.
I for one was a impatient guy.Not so now.I just leave the phone alone after flashing.Use my secondary,much cheaper phone, till I feel I've given my arc ample time to sync completely with latest rom.

No guys, I'm 100% sure that it sucks. No offense to you but as I've said on my first post I'm not that noob on flashing ROMS, rooting devices... Even if I've left some stuffs due to the time I didn't changed my baseband... Indeed I read each ROM instruction I know the basic rules of the forum. Anyway I either don't take any offense and I understand why you write that...
I did precise at what time the boot process hang but it definitelty goes onto boot loop whatever the recomended kernel has been flashed.
I've left my phone rebooting several times knowing that it won't stop nut just in case, I've also cleaned all caches just before first boot...
Honestly I felt ashamed enough having forget that baseband stuff to not double checked if I did something wrong
I gave another try to Viper ROM some times after successfully boot onto AOKP M1R3 and obtain the same hang and bootloop.
Thanks all :highfive:

Last status...
I managed to install "Xperia T ICS Rom V7.1.0 For Arc / Arc-S" which looks interesting therefore I think I'll keep it.
coldmoonbeam may be right regarding that stock ftf... I did retrieve one from other source and maybe it wasn't the right one compared to the one I've got from Xperia T ICS Rom thread...
I'll try to flash VIPER again now and post the result. Then close the thread.
SOLVED!
That ftf stuff was the problem. It works with the one I used to flash Xperia T ICS Rom.
Thanks all for your help :highfive::good:

xperia play noob in need of help

hello all, a while back, about 3 months ago i tried to mod my xperia play r800x CDMA, i messed the phone up bad trying to install CM9, i was able to get a custom kernel installed before trying CM9, but i ended up trying to repair the phone using a stock rom i found for the r800x, my carrier is Appalachian Wireless, the FTF i used was for a verizon phone and it would not work on my carriers 3G after the flash, so i sent the phone off and my carrier tried to reflash their stock firmware and then 2 weeks later the phone came back and it still wouldnt work for my carriers service, so i ended up buying a new xperia play. im really wanting to get this phone overclocked. it feels really laggy, even with my 64gb sd card and link2sd installed and a 2gb partition for app installs, it feels just like it did with the stock 8gb card, to slow for use, cant play most of the games i have downloaded because of this, most of the apps take a while to load, and the OS just feels like its crawling, like when i try to swipe left and right on the screen, or open the apps drawer, im willing to pay for someone to take the time to help me get my phone pimped out with the best rom and the best kernel, im really not sure what the fastest rom would be for playing games, someone said i should stay with GB, but i have installed cm10.1 on my old nook color and its just about as fast as cm7.2, so i would really like to get a newer rom, like ICS. my boot loader is still locked on this phone, i need to pay to get this one unlocked like i did the first phone, so if anyone has any spare time to help me out i will donate some loot for your troubles

Well are you using 2.3.3? If so use doomkernel v3 for cdma. If your using 2.3.4 use doomkernel v14 it says for gsm but also works with cdma. If you use google sync then stick with 2.3.3 because it doesn't work with 2.3.4. You can also theme 2.3.3 with attacks themes. You can find all these under smokermans index thread.

Doomkernel v3 cdma for gb should work. Don't mistake it with doomkernel v3 for ics because that one won't work. But also it depends what stock your using. If your using 2.3,4 then WiFi won't work with doom kernel v3 so check your android version in about phone.

Yes I'm using the stock 2.3.3 that came with the phone. The cameras worked before installing this kernel, should I try lupus kernel to see if that fixes it? Can you give a link to the exact doom kernel that you have installed for 2.3.3 stock ROM? I really want to get this working

Lupus wifi won't work with 2.3.3 buy it will work with 2.3.4. The problem is there's no google sync with 2.3.4 because Verizon messed it up.
Do this
Make a backup of your Rom with cwm. Then flash the stock 2.3.3 ftf with flashtool and exclude kernel. So thus on your messed up device first to see if it works. The kernel you said you downloaded is the same one I use. And what exactly is wrongg with the camera dies it say can't connect or does it freeze when you take a pic

Well I don't have Verizon I have Appalachian wireless and the last time I tried to flash a stock Verizon ftf it messed my phone up and my carrier couldn't fix it, it looks like it does something to the 3g, they couldn't get the phone to activate on their service, do you know how I can get a copy of my stock ROM from my carrier, I asked them and they said they don't release those to the public, and my cameras won't start it says sorry the application camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
