I'm wondering what the best ics rom for my unlocked R800x is. The reason I ask is because there are too many ics roms and kernals out there and it kinda feels like I'm trying to find a needle in a 1000 hectare wide field piled 10 miles high with hay. I understand that best is a subjective term so perhaps it would be nice if someone were to mention the pros and cons of the different ICS roms so users which are confused like me can make an informed decision. Links are always good and I do know how to flash roms and kernals to my phone so you don't need to go into detail about that. I thank everyone in advance.

when i want to make nandroid on phone it accepts it but it does nt go to
cwm the phone just restarts and no sign of the the backing up happening.

Do you have any idea which one runs the smoothest and with the most features enabled? i don't care about the camera features but I do care about everything else...

AOKP runs the best. 2 slight issues are the game pad (certain games) and Panorama camera

The fastest ICS ROM is KeiranFTW's PlAyOSP with SuperCharger V6

Say I have an r800x that isn't connected I just use It like an ipod. If I flashed an ics rom to it but not a kernal would it still work with no radio or would it just brick my device?

No matter what is the phone you use, ICS always needs a new kernel, well, not actually, depends on what rom are we talking about. Not sure about what happens next... more info?

The kernel does a lot more than just manage data. I think someone needs to go find out what a kernel does.

There is also an app on the market called GooManager which allows you to get easy access to files on goo.im. aeroeven's 10.5 kernel for instance can be found under /dev/aeroeven/kernel/vivow. I find this app useful to stay on top of the latest rom/gapps/kernel releases.
In goo manager you have to go to devs and find aeroevan. For some reason he isn't in the "browse compatible ROMs" section

Aeroevan has a new kernel for those of you who want to try flashing it. Its over at goomanager if you're interested.

Yup, I already have it flashed over CM7.2 nightly (my dd) and aeroevan's CM9 (test rig).
Runs great!
Aeroevan's CM10 is pretty far along. I may start playing with it on the test rig. Exciting times!

Really? Why do people say things like this? If you don't like it go back to stock, these are roms that are being worked on by our best devs and they are working with what they have, just be happy that we have ICS/JB at all. I for one am very happy with the alpha JB ROMs so far.

+1 - Aero JB ROM breaths new life into my old Inc2. Just LOVE it. Granted it might not for everyone but one has to be willing to accept a certain ... hmm how to say ... "imperfection" when using them. But the rewards are so much more plentiful than the shortcomings. Many thanks to all the devs working hard to making this possible.
hello i have a Xperia play CDMA R800x LB and i was wanting an UPDATED rom list for the xperia play.
mainly because im bord of the stock UI and launchers use too much ram so if some one could point me in the right direction, i would greatly appriciate it. thanks

I've actually been wanting this too. From my research, the best you can find are GBTweaked, ICSTweaked, and DarkForest. I've tried GBTweaked, but have yet to try the others.
Gin2jellybean works also with locked
Bootloader
I want to try gin2jellybean but scared because my flash tool won't flash my phone.

Why a ROM? Why not just flash a theme? If your on Verizon 2.3.3 you can flash one of my theme's. Click the red link in my signature and have a look.
Problem is, he's got an R800X. I'm not sure if Gin2JB Works on it or not...
Since its Sony based rom then yes. If you have looked to ROM thread there are instructions for locked bloader.

Its more the fact that its harder to convert a Sony based ROM than it is to convert an AOSP ROM.

Get GBTweaked and GO Launcher EX, then use the included theme on it. I'm using it, and it runs beautifully. Leraeniesh did a great job with it, and he's constantly improving it. *Cough*It'd be nice to see a version updated for JB*Cough*

Gin2JB is for GSM not CDMA. It wont work on the R800x.

Try out FrostyJB, seems to be pretty popular around here
Wicked_V6 is good comes with 2 themes red & blue. Extremely stable, good battery life and when you install it gives options to install some goodies.

FrostyICS. This is the reason why.

Seems like in general if you want good battery life go with a near-stock ICS rom, frosty is a good one but there are several to choose from. I'm currently trying serenity 1.2 LITE right now, it's pretty nice so far but I've only been using it a few hours.
After finally getting rooted yesterday (woohoo!), I flashed Stock sX v3.0. Awesome.

I would try anything from Wildchild. He mods stock ROMs both ICS and JB and they work great. I'm running the Xquizit xD v31(JB) and couldn't be happier. You can find it in the gs3 development forum.
Battery life is good and v 31 comes with all the tools you might need. You can also flash the Kitchen v 10 with it to customize your ROM.

Temporary do to someone stealing his work and it is a downer in general, besides we are on the verge of Official JB. So no point in spending so much time working on a rom that will be rebased and redone all over.

So I been using cleanrom from the beginning of 4.4.2 update I find it really amazing piece of work and it is really hard for me to change it. I am a bit lazy to check out the new Roms to tell the truth that's the only ROM so far I have tried on that device been addicted as all of us to room flashing in g4 and get bored with that.
Do I would like to ask you to write ur
ROM version
Reason for using that specific ROM
Would u recommend it
If not lazy ur setup with kernel
Any issues u have with that rom and wish to change it.
Mine so far
CleanROM 2.6
Absolutely no issues have not tried so far other Roms bit that is amazing
Absolutely recommend for using as a daily ROM
Ex 2.6 no of no oc close to stock as possible performance if phenomenal
NP issue the only thing I wish to have is continue work of that ROM bit it is stopped so I wish to stay updated (I know its late but....) And try other Roms if better.

That is the beauty of Nexus devices - flashing a new ROM whenever the urge strikes you is a trivial matter, it is pretty hard to brick a Nexus barring hardware issues. Flash em all and see what you like best, or just gut the stock ROM and mod it to meet your needs and preferences.
And you can use multiRom to flash and boot multiple roms
