god day all you happy xperia play owner.
i will soon getting a new phone and i wont have any need for the xperia play as a actual phone. so this will be only a gaming device.
what im looking for is the perfect kernel and rom to give me as much quality gaming as possible.
currently on ICS++ and a ICS beta kernel from doom and am realy happy with it. only downside is emulators not working to a 100% (SNesoid. gameoid, n64oid and nesoid.) the issue is sound on = lagg and n64oid lags / reboots phone.
so what im looking for is a ICS rom (for the touch pads working) that gan give a good gaming experience.
I decided to go back to a stock 2.3.4 on my r800x. All custom roms and any that are ICS gave me lag in games, and low fps for some reason.

Jokawild isn't ICS.
I think that if you want everything to work like it should, you should go back to stock.
ICS seems to be more demanding overall over Gingerbread from what ive seen.
Xperia play is pretty dated Hardware wise so a really trimmed down version of Gingerbread might be the best option for gaming
Ive seen a few threads point to use either DiXperia, Jokawild, or TruAncestor
I'm using the Xperia S Style ROM and man games run faster than they did before. V6 Supercharged of course.

I can confirm this!
I just swithed to DiXperia (on of the many Xperia S roms) and i have seen a huge boost in performance with a full 200MB of Ram free while running.
The nice thing about DiXperia so far is that its completely barebones and you add what you want to it.
Definetely get on the Xperia S Roms
Agreed with above, im actually switching my phone over to an xperia S rom.
JokaWild is the best custom ROM that I know.. definetly great!
touch?
i can live with going back to GB since SE are not releasing official ICS. but is there anyway to have GB with touch pad support on emulators?
DarkForest Roms is a not bad options

Hi Guys,
As the title says, I would like to know which is the best Arc S Rom for overall performance/smootheness.
I'm currently on the stock Gingerbread Rom, and honestly I'm quite happy with it, but I really like some of the extra features that ICS has.
The thing is, with all the negative feedback people are giving about lagging and battery consumption, i'm apprehensive about updating.
So I would just like to hear some honest opinions on what do you find is the best ROM, and how does it stack up to the stock gingerbread one.
Thanks
Recently upgraded to the Mooded 4.0.4 rom and it has been great! Coming from Doom's 4.0.3 rom, the newer rom is MUCH better! Overall very responsive and as a result, i can run at 700mhz all day, with no noticeable lags! I did have GB once, but that was quite a while ago, so i can't really compare.. Hope this helps
Current setup: Mooded 4.0.4 rom + ArcKnight RC2 Kernel
GB.
Rooted 2.3.4, Removed all Junk apps.
Ill Tried so many ROMs, all are in my eyes crap.
****ty compatibility, all ics had Problems with 720p Recording, Crappy Games Compatibility and stuff
At least such Superlative ROM Titles like "Hd Gaming, Superfast, GPU Oc" are all lies
Arc isnt a good ICS Base.
No Dualcore, to small RAM.
Gb is The best Choice.
I love the ICS Holo Style.. But for me, Function over Design.
On my old Defy, with Quarx Cm9, all Games runs like Hell, Do a Test, putt Real Racing2 on your ArcS..
On Defy, a ****ing Performance, on Arc, a crappy Joke, even Menue Stuck every Second.
ARCONIUMS work is good.
Now, with GB on 1.6Ghz, ms Arc runs like Charm

Arc does not need even the OC to be fully capable of running ICS. I think you haven't tried Arconium ICS 2.4, the one with the software rendering enabled. Find it in the Dev section and BE HAPPY. It's smooth as hell, everything works fine and I haven't had ANY problems with it so far.
Performance & Smootheness...
I suggest Arconium(GB) , JJ's Hybrid(ICS).
CM7.2 from FXP130 is the best one. It is base on gingerbread. Amazingly fast and support themes. The only issue is it needed custom launcher. I suggested Go launcher. It have ability to overclock up to 1.6 ghz and many other stuffs. Tested and work with many games nice and smooth. Asphalt 6 running fluency. Shadow guns running fine with chinfire 3d by change open gl to nvidia. 200+ free ram. That it!
Edited: if you want holo theme. Theme it CM7.2 have lots of themes including ICS.
i recommend jjhybrid for performance and smoothness. i use this rom from 2.5v til now 3.2v...
im using arconium 4 with XArc kernel. at first it was a little bit laggy but after i installed latest V6 + kick ass kernelizer it was great. very smooth scrolling and everything works just fine
and i overclocked to 1,6GHz for daily use, no heat and stable with XArc

JJ's Rom & doomkernel smoother than butter
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
For perfomance, on GB - Stock 62, Acronium 8.2; on ICS - Acronium 4.0 (if you want stocklike ROM), JJHybrid, both with XArc or ArcKnight 3.5.1 OC kernel.
GB is suck! but the best Rom now for Arc is JJ HYBRID very smoothnes and really fast Recommend this rom. Sory my english :laugh:

JJ's Rom with Lupus Kernel.

I enjoy playing games on my Play and do not want to lose the gamepad support, I am on Stock gingerbread but with Doomkernel v14, and was wondering if updating to the Sony ICS beta would affect my gaming? Meaning would my games work and would they be laggy and unresponsive?
For gaming, stay on GB. Better gaming experience and stability.

Gaming suckkkkss with ICS. trust me
XDark ICS
Actually, on XDark ICS many of my Gameloft, EA games worked with touchpad support! It is actually alright for gaming but again is not as good as gingerbread. If you're bored and want to try it go ahead. Do a nandroid backup backup beforehand, then what have you got to lose ?
Edit: if you just want the look and feel of ICS try Gin2JellyBean, the dev is great and it is hands down the best GB rom I've ever used. Infact it's my daily driver for whenever I get bored of ICS. Gamepad and touchpad work as they would on stock too!
I would suggest staying on GB.
I have used ICS and GB and ICS is, although beautiful, not the best for gaming.
From my experience:
GTA3 wouldnt run
Dead Space ran half speed
Emulators (SNES,NES,MD) ran full speed
So if you only play emu, go for it.
Majority of the games out the market right now support gb. Believe me it is a big mraket. Give ics some time and you would see the games out on gb may also come out for ics.
So far (in my *bountiful* (one day)) experience with ICS, gaming has been good.
Emulators at least. Only real games I play are Minecraft and that has been quite nice too. But, to go with most people I'd say stay on GB for now if you want definite stability.
Hi,
I haven't used my Xperia Play in ages... It's literally been in the dock used as an Alarm Clock for the past 6 months or so.
I rooted and unlocked the bootloader ages ago and installed ICS and DooMLord's Kernel, Currently on 4.0.3 and Kernel 2.6.32.9 but as I say this is very outdated.
I would like to update my Xperia Play today and start to use the device for portable gaming again.
Which ROM is best? I believe that GB offers the best Gaming performance / Compatibility as the Touchpads work on all games?
Like I say I've not been on here in ages and really want to use a ROM which offers good speed / performance for gaming.
What are my best options? Pitfalls I need to look out for?
Any help would be great as I want to update and clean this phone up today if possible if not over the next couple of days.

Anyone?
Go for a NXT rom.
Whats that? A gingerbread ROM? ICS?
If I'm downgrading from ICS to gingerbread what order do I do it in? Concerned about the Kernels missmatching and bricking
I'm pretty sure if you ftf to stock 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 the kernel gets reflashed too (but i might be wrong) and you can just ftf to stock no matter where your at

Cola???
For GB Roms i suggest this two, you'll get a good performance:
HERE NXT light Ed
HERE Dixperia 2
And for ICS Roms, there is a big difference in performance but this one is really great, i can run 95% of the games with virtually no lag:
HERE MIUI Australia for Xperia 2011 by CosmicDan
That MIUI one also has a plus! you get an enormous(really big believe me) internal storage so you can install a lot of games
As for JB Roms, there are several now that have a good performance but still on Beta state so i can't recommend any of them just yet.
If you follow the instructions on the threads you should be fine with the kernel flashing and all, for most of them i prefer LUPUS kernels by wedgess just(except for MIUI which has it's own kernel).
Have fun!

Pretty damn good battery life too might I add.
My poor Xperia Play is getting on a bit and I think it's time to put it into retirement. I'm hopefully getting an Nexus 4 soon, but I want to hang onto my Xperia Play as a pure gaming device. Mainly emulators and such, but also supporting the touch pads if possible (particularly FPSE).
I want to give it the best ROM for this purpose, with a good balance of speed, stability, and support. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Any Gingerbread rom with a custom kernel capable of overclocking will probably be fine for gaming. ICS and Jellybean are more resource-intensive, thus decreasing the in-game performance on such roms.

All my games have ran perfect since switching to NXT Light Edition.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into the ROMS suggested so far.
What's the situation with the touch pad controls in FPSE these days? Last I heard, a long while ago, they worked provided you were on an ICS ROM?
FPse touchpads work on GB/ICS now. Probably JB too
Just read my signature... No lags any more!!
I tested all roms for locked BL and that's the ONLY ONE that gave me the required performance!
Just thing what can you do with an unlocked BL!!
Cheers mate!!
Cola rom. Not sure if it works with 800i but if it does you'll love it.

I am pretty sure there LOTS of ROMS like that throughout the forum but I would recommend Close2Perfection and Gin2KitKat. Try them both if you can and see what is good for you. BTW, both of them are GB ROMs.

Well, I used the Gin2JellyBean Rom 2.5.2 (not a fan of the kitkat 3.0.0 look). It's very stable, has great battery life and it's also extremely powerful when it comes to gaming. Also, I haven't found something which is missing. Everything is working great and it's without a doubt, one(!) of the best Xperia Play GB roms you can find here.
But for now I'm using IceCreamSpeed V12. I like the design and it's an incredible good ICS rom, with full Touchpad Support (and if it doesn't work for specific games you can use the Touchpad activator, coming with the rom).
Alright so
I tested almost all "gaming" roms on gb for the xperia play for 1 year now..... And i have to say that NXT Light or Auroraplay is the best choice for you if you want to game
I am now on auroraplay and i have to say i can play everygame without overclocking and withotu lags
Btw: The GB Roms are much faster then the ICS roms so dont bother you use gingerbread for gaming
The best kernel for gingerbread is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536
So use that with auroraplay and your xperia play will fly!!!!
Edit: No that roms hasnt any bugs and of corse you can use your touchpad
1. I have tried many ROMS too. but the SuperLite JB is one of my Fav's .. I used it as a daily for 1 year. Totally customizable because of AOKP settings.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2357756
and then I switched to MIUI.. ohhhhh.. MIUI is the real Beautiful Face of Android.. the usual android is soooooooooooooo Boring.. MIUI is a please to the eye.. Totally Customizable.. Loving it from within 5 mins of Installing it..
2. You have the Gaming Edition GB here .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2201338
3. and also the newer.. JB edition here .. http://en.miui.com/thread-3182-1-1.html .. the JB one is amazing.. and newer.. a totally fresh change.. but still ANDROID.
