[Q] Best rom + kernel? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's currently the best combination, stable, fast, no bugs?
And is there a good bug free ics rom out there? I'd like to give it a try.
Thanks in advance

I unlocked bootloader today, and I'm on .58 fw version, 2.3.4

I have: Stock Rom 2.3.4 + DoomLoRD's Kernel.
Full touchpad support and fast without bloatware.

Any idea what changes were from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4?

Advanced Stock and Darkforest ICS.
Unless you want to game correctly/heavily.
Then id suggest staying where you are.

That's basically my predicament. I really enjoyed ICS and pax's modified kernel, but you can't play PSXperia games on ICS. Back to stock ROM I went...

on my opinion , use 2.3.4 + sony's default kernel + some tweaks
as i experienced (( i've checked all kernels )) , all kernels have some bugs , just sony'y default kernel is #1 .
but you can try , if you want

Probably how the custom kernel was flashed
Theres modified GB roms if you are fancy for psxperia.
Just gotta look for it. In ICS im now using the ICS Darkforest Kernel, doesnt seem to have any errors so far, I play Asphalt6, Gameboid and Minecraft.

JokaWild + DooMKernel v13. Very fast, good battery life.

Here you go.
And for best ROMs, I prefer CM9 by FXP. Touchpads work like they should (at least in Minecraft).

I'm happy using doom kernel v14 with the joka wild v3. Only problem is the battery drain. Does that rom have any bug or battery drain?

Best ROM for ARC S

Which ROM has not any bugs , and have better battery backup, .
and supports ARC S LT18i.
Thank you..
Arconium 7.1

Acronium 7.1
Its the best ROM I have used for ARC, I have ARC not ARC S, still its smooth and best GB ROM
But which one?
I guess he wants to know the name of the ROM
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
i am using Acronium 7.1 , Battery drains very quickly,
I use data 2G all time.
Same here...now using arconium 7.2 w/ doomkernel v19 baseband 58...drains batt quickly T_T
I tried them all,ics beta,team,arconium,miui etc.
Stock rom .62 with root/removed bloatware/doom v19 is still for me the best.
A bit undervolting and stockspeeds [ 1.4 Ghz Arc s ]
All other roms draining with 3g.
No issues with wathever,good batterylife etc etc.
I'm using the ROM of SE.Tweaked (v1.0), works fine and smooth. No issues and good battery life, much better than the original rom.

Arconium 7.2 is simply a beautiful rom for arc/arc s.
For the people with battery problem..flash the stock .283 kernel along with .36/.64 baseband.
With this config,i need to charge my phone for once in two days [full charge]
I alsoi have superchargerV6 and link2sd for lag-free performance and free internal memory
Disadvantages:
This kernel doesnt support overclocking/undervolting and many other features which doomkernel possesses
I think there's a DooMKernel on .283

Yes it does.. v11
But i haven't tried that.
Seconded stock with doomkernel is best for me. Don’t see any differences between stock, arconium or se tweaked so dont see the point of them. As for the other roms something always seems to be broken or other problems such as battery drain issues and other bugs.

I have used ICS++ with DoomKernelv2 which was really nice. I moved to gin2ics since the Xperia Play is lacking RAM.

arc s with ICS is SLOW

hello,
I have Xperia Arc S stok ics 4.0.4 , Kernel 2.6.32.9 -perf , build 4.1.b.0.431
My question is why the phone is So slowly????
I thought that ICS should speed up the phone....
I can do anything about it?
thanks
use arconium ics 3.c with arcknight kernel
its fast and stable for me
i believe the stock firmware you are using is bloated with useless app and isn't optimized like what devs used on their custom roms

mate i am using 4.0.4 right now and it is as smooth as gb .64 if not faster. i notice my live wallpaper is much smoother too, but it might have to do with the software rendering enabled on arconium 3.c
apps and games compatibility can be a problem, but cmon im sure the devs will update their apps for ics too.
the only app i had problem with was temple run. touches didnt respond well, i swiped and it jumped instead. its a boring game anyways
EDIT: you can overclock your phone using setcpu after installing your new rom to get more performance

[Q] what is the fastest ICS Firmware for Xperia ARC ?

Hi
I have flashed the global ICS firmware for my xperia arc ! i really like it but it is not as smooth as the gingerbread. I know the firmware is full of bloatware and thats why its a bit laggy..
My question is there a ROM (modified firmware) which i can flash to make the ics run smoothly and faster on my arc ??
Try Arconium.

Sent from my LT15i using XDA
I'm using the World Generic 4.04 stock rom, and find it occasionally locks up and crashes, I do like the feel and style of ICS but dont think its been perfected for the Arc yet, if I could unlock my bootloader i'd try other roms, so its between ICS or Gingerbread for me

[Q] Can I change Kernel and keep the ROM?

That
Im on Xperia Arc S GB 2.3.7 and Doomkernel v22, but i want to try the lupus one. But i dont know if i can flash the new kernel without have to flash all over again the ROM.
Same with the basebands, can i change them without flash a new ROM?
Thanks

yes my friend you can, but the better thing to do always it's to wipe all and install the ROM again...
but you can change the kernel
Thanks
Well... i'm going to wipe dalvik and the battery stats before and after flash the kernel. And also make a nandroid backup.
But what is the worse case scenario that i dont make a full wipe and reinstall the rom?
Bootloops? Lags? Reboots?

LuPuS is not meant for GB ROMs, if I am not mistaken.
And yes, you can switch kernels and basebands without touching the ROM.

There is a GB lupus but it has to be searched for, its pretty down the dev section
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Actually the developer merged both ics and gb kernels into the same. And yes it works!!
But, i don't know if not making a full wipe and reintalling the ROM again but, i have some problems with the camera... it cannot have access to the sd card; after rebooting "it solved" but the videos cannot be played and the gallery has no elements
The camera is one of the things that i used the most, so i have to reflash the doomkernel again which is pretty good but i have to try the lupus one 'cause is in a more constant development.
Thanks
NO the ICS/GB lupus has stopped Dev i think
