[Q] R800x-Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Fairly Stable Rom? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need opinions on what is considered to be the most stable rom for an unlocked & rooted Sony Xperia Play R800x

Honestly I feel stock kernel (MAYBE advanced stock)
And any custom gingerbread rom is pretty nice.
ICS will have bugs, And some graphic issues.
So until a real ICS is released, Gingerbread is better for stability.

Stock.

Best ICS

What's currently the best (stable, smooth, reliable) ICS ROM(and Kernel if needed) for the unlocked R800x?
Mod please delete.

[Q] which rom is the best ?

hi everyone!
I want to root and install a new rom on my friend's Xperia Arc ...
but I wanted to know which ROM is the best for high score benchmarks(like antutu) and the stabliest for the everyday use...
My option one is the JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1
the 2nd Cyanogenmod nightly
the 3rd cyanogenmod stable...
if a better rom is not on the list please tell me
And can i overclock with the stock kernel of the stock ics ?
Cheers...
Arconium ICS V2.0 with Aroma installer
Mooded ICS 100.0 by Chaosfirzen
you need to root and unlock the bootloader... why would you have CM nightly 2nd and CM stable 3rd? and you can overclock the stock kernel but faliure can happen so use a custom kernel for OC
Arconium 4.0 ICS
CM7.2-Stable
heres a whole selection to choose from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
the best rom i would suggest is ka21 in terms of battery life while in idle mode, it gives me as low as 0.2 % battery loss per hour(measured using battery drain from play store). it is very diffrent and even has jellybean mod.
if you would want to overclock the stock kernel then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673476 . if u have an unlocked bootloader, you can even flash custom kernels. note that an unlocked bootloader CAN be relocked.
for me its JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1 which is good for everyday use.
UI wise for me its better looking with the original look and feel of the android 4, and usable than others.
But it all depends on personal preference.
I used every moded rom for xperia arc and i stayed with stock 4.0.4 with few modification (mainly Xperia S app, any modified sustemUI) and obviously DooMKernel chaos v5
With every moded rom I have some problems (Lockscreen stuck for few minutes <<i cant unlock phone>> , CM9 camera app sux, on JJ sometimes i cant answer the phone, ChaosFriZen eat battery in less than one day) Maybe my phone is "broke" but with stock rom I have no problems...
Arconium 4 with few files from KA21(SemcDlna.apk) and Xperia S apps
and KTG kernel
I tried Mooded but is full of bugs and not as fast as arconium

Custom rom with cm7 base

Can some dev make a custom rom with cm7 baseband
Cm7 is fastest rom for arc s
So for users those want performance from arc/arc s can use that
They just want sony latest ui with performance
Cm7 +sony ui will be best if it can be possible

JB on locked BL

Hello. Sadly, mine Arc S is not unlockable. So my question is can I install jellybean on it?
Also I googled this but the data is old.....is there a mod to make this great phone record in 1080p?
jb custom roms are still in alpha/beta stages so upgrading to them from your locked bootloader wouldnt be great.
try out custom ICS roms by diffrent devs there are many in dev section. many of them even work on unloacked bootloaders. subsequently you can shift to aokp fxp jb roms with more stable releases .
Phones with locked bootloaders can only use ROMs that are stock based... that means that you would need Sony to release JB stock ROMs first... which they have announced they won't, so, just like my Xperia Pro with locked bootloader, we won't have a JB ROM.
On the other hand, there are some great ICS ROMs out there that can be flashed on phones with locked bootloader that feature a lot of JB system apps, they are great, you should try them... they are far better than stock ROMs anyway

Wanna JB 4.2 or 4.3 : what kernel / rom ?

Hi.
My LT26 is actually on rom stock .211 (tried .96, better battery but trouble with camefa focus).
Was is a good rom for JB 4.2.2 (and what kernel with it) ?
It seems that 4.3 roms are still in testing sequence ?
Thks.
in my opinion the 4.3 rom is more stable than the 4.2.2's I've been using it daily since it's release and never any issues

4.2 rom
I think... PAC rom might be want you are looking for, but I'm not sure... :-?
Different flavours...
Hello,
during the last few months, I tried several roms. If you rely on HDMI and want to have the best from your camera (but not the newest features), you should stick with modifications of the Xperia rom.
Most of the time I had SlimBean on my Xperia S, but they have for now finished the development, stopped with a (in my opinion very good) 4.2.2 stable version. For me it worked perfectly on a everyday basis, stable, fast, and with a very nice all-black interface (as most roms offer now). You can download it on their website. And here is the link to the according xda-thread. But many links on that forum thread are now dead, as the downloads have been moved to the "Old Releases" section on the website. If you want to use another kernel with it, I chose the OpenSEMC beta2 kernel, but I did not find any differences in comparison to the stock SlimBean kernel. Don't use 3.4 kernels with the 4.2.2 SlimBean Roms! SlimBean relies on 3.0 kernels, here is a discussion about this topic.
But now I wanted to have some android 4.3 running, and so far I see only two options for that:
The PAC beta1 which I have currently installed (still some issues there, but is OK for daily use and FAST), and the AOSP alpha1 which I have not tested so far.
I hope this helped you a little bit! If so -> thanks-button is waiting
RC2 kernel should be the same as slim bean hence not noticing any difference.
I'm still on aosp 4.3 and it's still consistently smooth and fast

OpenSEMC beta2 with SlimBean, NOT the RC2
Hello,
as corrected by now, I made a mistake in my post above, it is the OpenSEMC beta2 kernel you need for the use with SlimBean, NOT the RC2.
In this post is an according link (second one).
Any forecast about a stock JB 4.3 launch for XS? When?
