[Q] Vanilla Gingerbread/ICS? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just two days ago got an Xperia Play, and I'm wondering what's the easiest way to get to VANILLA (not launchered) Gingerbread, and with ICS coming out I do not want SE's bloatware.
I considered freezing Sony Ericsson Home.apk then read you can mess up your phone. :l

oh! try to get cm9 with android 4.0.4 fxp 119 for xperia play!
a full aosp rom!
no junkwares from Sony!
buttery smooth!

AWESOOOOOME! Is it a final build yet though?
Can I use flashtool? I'm new to rooting (you have no idea how bad that sounds to some Australians, oh man)
(I think I'll try ICS++ first, is there anywhere I can get CWM for Play?)

My advice is to use AOKP. With Cyanogen, I had problems with data, not with AOKPlay

For the Recovery, I have a tutorial to install it, but it's in French. If you need a translation, PM me : phonandroid.com/forum/xperia-play-cwm-recovery-avec-bootloader-verrouille-t10220.html

Is the battery life good/game compatibility good? If not then forget it.

Also, at this time, would it just be possible to install the clean GB Home.APK launcher file?

[Q] Arconium ICS or MooDeD by Chaos FirZen?

As in the title - what's better: Arconium ICS or MooDeD by Chaos FirZen? I have used both ROMs and I think Arconium ICS is a little, little bit smoother and lagless. From the other hand, MooDeD ICS has great support from Chaos FirZen. Arconium ICS didn't get an update from a month.
Any suggestions? Please, help!
U answered the question urself

No I didn't, did I? In your signature I see "Arconium 8.2 Gingerbread", so you like Arconium. 8.2 is Gingerbread so it hasn't had an update since months. MooDeD or Arconium ICS? Can you help, please?
U cant really compare them to say which one is better. Every rom has its pros and cons. U have to decide which one is the best for YOU.
And a good rom doesnt need to be updated every week.
In my case, GB is fine for me. Its fast, smooth, stable and has no bugs. So, it doesnt need to be updated.

I know I can answer myself, but I would like to get some suggestions/reccomendations. For example I'd like to know which one of them would you choose: MooDeD or Arconium ICS.

In Arconium ics v4
All fw.431 addons & themes; mods etc all stuff could be fashesd.
Because its mostly has rebased the official rom.
Whether .Modded ics . Some of the addons like themes mods etc stuff of fw.431 could not work in most case
s.
Its now ur choice .
If u want all fw.431 addons u should go for Arconium v4 ics.
Or
If u dont interest in addons of fw.431. Go for modded ics.
As most addons from fw 431 does not work in modded ics rom.
Though modded roms.are re based to latest 431 fw.
I have tested it myself.
I choosed Arconium ics because: i want to flash all awesome addons of fw.431.
Now choice is urs.
Do .what ur heart says .
Btw. Performance is nice in both the roms.
Enough i said
Cheers!

My device have the bootloader unlocked.
One more question, how do i install permanently the CWM to enter in the recovery boot menu?
Sorry about the questions, its a noob talking here , and sorry about my english...

Tks for the opinions.

i agree with u but i love Jellybean ( original , not combo between Jelly and ICS).
Any ROM with Paranoid settings which allow you to set dpi for single apps is awesome. I have compiled paranoid android 2.55 and put link in thread in dev section of you wanna try. Camps is also pretty awesome but my phone got really sluggish with that so I use regular PA.

If You are looking for GB based Roms then X-Gamer v1.6, this will give you an Internal Mem of 355MB, and RAM of nearly 240MB after installation and its stable too. If ICS based Roms then JelleySandwich 7.4. its stable (by stable i mean after installation everything works).
The above Roms i have tested it on LT15i with LB though.
new rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168609
that new one is beautiful:good:
Cm10 based ROM: RacingBean v3.0 ! Very very Fast and stable ! :good:
We're not allowed to ask this kind of questions. Every rom is good. But it depends on ones needings.
Gb rom is always preferred if u want smoothness.
For interface you must try ics or jb..
Press thanks if I helped.

I just tried using SmartXperia ROM with KTG Kernel on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748635&highlight=keyboard
Some said it was the most battery efficient ROM, but I tried it because of it's simple instruction and low risk
So far its working fine on my LT15 xperia with minor bugs

I experienced some random reboots after flashing AC!D on P.A.C rom.
On the other side, no problems with FXP146.
Conclusion, sony mods hardly work on custom rom, stay locked!
AC!D 5.0 is working like a charm on stock .45

If you are having trouble though, flash this Superuser zip in recovery, it is right from SuperUser's developer website

try mine
if you want to have a ICS Rom (Android 4) with all ICS Features try marphyton's Rom:

if you want to have a GB-Rom (Android 2.3.7) with Xperia T Design:

ICS is not so good for gaming unless you overclock cpu. With GB you get better gaming Performance.
...markphyton made his Rom with Sony Developers. That means it based on original Sony ICS for Xplay.

For NxtLockscreen you have to modify framework, so on stock ROM or any other else, where isn't this special modification, it will not work. But every better custom ROM have this lockscreen modification (eg. AuroraPlay, Gin2Jelly/KittKat, NXT...).
