Custom Rom Recommodation?

Hey guys, first i want to say i´m sorry for my bad english as its not my native language.
I think i´m ready to install my first Custom Rom, because i want to have ics after using gb such a long time. Also many games such as GTA 3 lag often.
I read that many ics roms have full touchpad support.
So I would like to ask you some questions, i would be very happy to get helpfull answers
1. Is it true that i can play every game that works on gingerbread with that ics roms?
2. What about the gaming performance in comparison to stock gingerbread?
3. Are there any ics roms that runs smooth and with no major bugs?
Thank you very much! I hope that this kind of threads are allowed

1. Some games don't work with the touch pads on ICS
2. Gaming performance sucks in ICS
3. Define smooth. As smooth as gingerbread, none.

Okay, so i think i´ll better stay on gingerbread then, right?
What ist custom rom with the best performance? both, games and overall menu?

i think glazed ICS with lupus kernel is worth trying

Well I'm using markphytonsics ROM and it's running just as smooth as gb for me. It also has the full touchpad fix. The only thing is a very few games don't work on it. You can try that one. Just make sure to do a nandroid incase you don't like the ics experience. Also be sure to titanium backup your apps if you don't want to lose them.

to complete this thread, i´ve finally installed this and it runs really smooth!

Agreed
Some ppl say it's laggy and consumes too much memory. But for me I remove all the bloatware(Just for me) and feel it's one of the smoothest ICS ROM ever!
Anyway the Chinese & Japanese languages error is annoying Have to replace the fonts file by hand

Actually I use MooDed 90.7 ICS with lock bootloader. it is rather smooth compared with the official ICS from SONY, and consumes little memory. The average ram is consumed is 230-250 Mb and i'm using the phone all day xD. I recommend it.
Sorry for my english..

Thank you all, I will take a look. And how about all my things? How do i backup them? cause I've flashed my phone like 5 times and I have to start over because of the wipe

For me, I use following steps to backup my app & data & contacts ,etc..:
1. Titanium to backup apps and corresponding data
2. In the contact app, save all contacts to your sd card, then restore them from there in your new flashed ROM
3. For the short msgs, call history, your personal configuration... Just try some apps doing backup them, actually I do not care about it.
Anyway make a nandroid backup of whole ROM in CMW is always the best way if you want to roll back

Thanks I will try that

For stock-based ICS ROMs, I prefer Xperia IceBean. Really good, smooth and fast. :good:
I've been using it since last week and I am really impressed.

Uhh, it has all the Sony crap enhancements in it, right?
Why not just FXP132 CM9.

I think this question's answer will be according your preferences.
No ROM is the best nor anyone is complete.
I have locked bl so I am restricted to some out there but I tried 3 roms
1. Jj hybrid 3.2
2. Mooded ics 9.70
3. Ice bean 4.2n
All three were good to me but cfz roms are the best (2nd, one) and I am waiting his latest release but also the other two weren't that bad but according to my personal preferences I found it best for me.

@Threadstarter
Can you add a diagramm to see how many people use what Rom!
Thanks, I am also very interested in that point

For Me is ice bean 4.2n, fast, stable

What is the best ROM and kernel for galaxy wonder ? Stable, Good for everyday use ?
And also what is the best tweaks for it

REMIX AOKP for me. It is smooth and stable but the battery does not last as long as GB roms.

I would suggest arco's CM9 and for tweaks I guess the modded kernel for it would be a good tweak. Its quite stable and very nice to work with.

agreed, but it will surely be better w/ V6.
Also, I think MIUI + V6 will be a good choice.

Well the additions with V6 is nice but I don't think its really needed since when running CM9 its smoother and faster than when it was on GB also games don't lag much either.

Do i need to flash stock ICS ROM in order to install custom ICS ROM ? And what is the best kernel with a lot of tweaks and stable?

There is no stock ICS rom. You have to install CWM recovery with ODIN and then install the ICS rom you want with that recovery

CM9 based ROM is still considered W.I.P, even most of the functions are working, but it may not be as stable as GB
If you wish to try a ICS looks GB ROM, which may be more stable, there are a few:

Actually I found it even if is still in Alpha its stable and smoother than the GB custom ROMs and alot of the problems in the past like poor battery life isn't there in its current build.

From my view, stable is when i could hand over my phone to someone who is not experienced with phones and tech in general, so i would have a good feeling.
Thats not the case with CM9 atm - White Screen Bug, Bluetooth partially working, Camera sometimes crashes, battery life - all problems that may be irrelevant to experienced users, but we should keep a neutral definition to the word "stable".
Currently it is Alpha, and i guess that is what a manufacturer would also call it, if it would be an official ROM.
Besides this terminology, arco has really done great work with CM9, and he is pushing development further with good common sense i think.

That's a brilliant piece and I thoroughly agree!!
Sent From My Wonder on CyanogenMod 9

Yea, I also agreed that CM9 is a good job, but since he/she mentioned newbie in the title so I think GB may be a less problematic choice at this moment, myself wish to use CM9 too, but I don't really have time for switching and updating ROM frequently

Personally i use MUTANT ROM, good battery life, rather smooth and stable. If you prefer a GB ROM, i would recommend this.
BTW, how is the ICS ROM going? Is the battery life still unstable? The last time i use ParanoidAndroid, the battery was like... 30% drop in 5hours of standby... GOSH...

Black Notes Last Page, it's working well but just:
i) After executing the SuperCharger V6 script, I may not receive the incoming messages, but I guess I may have to play with the setting a bit, anyway I seldom run that script, so it don't really affect me a lot
ii) If I open too much pages in the Opera Mobile, it may freeze for a few minutes, but I think it may be the Opera Mobile's problem
iii)In a few buttons(such as Save & Cancel button for the alarm clock setting), both the background & word are dark in colour, so it is not really well visible
And I had answered ansyori28, sgaheer, bladez87 and your question yesterday, really sorry for replying so late, for you question, I think it should be okay if it didn't force close after you fixed(changed) the permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot
How about Mutant ROM, any issues inside it?

[Q] CM10 Gaming performance and Camera quality

To those who have tried CM10-based ROM either FXP, AOKP, or MIUI, I know CM10 has good performance and smoothness all-around,
but I'm curious about these 2 things
How is the gaming performance, mainly Temple Run which I play a lot when waiting or sitting around?
How is the photo quality from camera compared to stock ROM?
(I never tried CM-based ROM so I'm a little bit nervous about trying it, and also I heard that Titanium-backup doesn't work, so I can't restore applications data, which means there'll be lots of work to re-customize the apps .)

Yeah try Cm10 fxp142 or fxp143 (I think fxp143 will come out tomorrow).
Firstly, gaming is amazing! Best gaming ROM I've ever tried thanks to project butter and jelly bean. Modern Combat 3 runs smoothly, and temple run flawlessly.
Secondly, the camera is camera ics from play store. Download it and give it a go and make a judgement if that's good enough for you. Also adfree removes ads on camera ICS, so that's pretty much everybody's set up.
Conclusion: get cm10. Its awesome.
Hit the thanks button if I helped

CM10 sux at gaming bro. Idk about the camera quality but CM10 is too heavy and buggy. Use ICS Pureness. It's been the best ICS rom i came through so far.

for normal use even if in beta stage cm10 is much smoother and snapier than ICS. rest gaming is bit buggy but as more stable versions come it will also get better. for camera the libs are not available for jb so it has problems well most of the jb roms here use ics camera app.
i use paranoid android with fusion kernel 3.5 with no problems .

I've already tried most of Stock-based ROM on the forum, maybe I'll try that too, but I don't have performance issue or anything, even in my current setup in signature, everything (games and what not) runs smoothly,
I just wanted have a taste of Jelly Bean, and since Sony is not updating, I thought about CM10.

Hello all, im searching for a Jb (or ics but i would like to try jb) that can give me overall speed and smoothness, stability, no force closes of apps because of the lack of ram,no compatibility issues and no problems with buttons on emulators. I use my xperia play mostly for emulators and general use and i dont care about running latest games ... im not completely satisfacted about general use of stock. 71 gingerbread that im running now and i would like to try something good based of yours experiences. Thanks everyone

We can't help you find a ROM these thread always get closed because there isn't one ROM that suits everyone, like I'm running pacman right now but I might decide to with slimbean v5 and my own tweaks to it or I might ftf back 2.3.4 GB for gaming its basically trial and error on what you want and what you like

Just one question why do you want to upgrade to Jelly ?

Thank for answering, i would like to upgrade to jb because i would like to have the latest features and to use apps that arent compatible with gb, since i dont use phone for heavy gaming but just emulators i would like to know about experience of users who are on jb, im not asking for the best rom available like other people do, but i just asked about wich rom is more suitable for my use since i only need system smoothness, no force closes and no problems with buttons in emulators
Also i dont really like the memory management of gb on stock and customs, i have occasional force closes and with ram tweaks the situation is worse
Thanks again

For me I searched for a uptodate ROM that have good performance and a good look so there might be better performing ROMs but whitout a nice look (if you want goo performance you need to give up from the look, for me I searched for a balanced roms good look good performance).
If you really want all the new stuff I suggest you to go with Jelly ROMs.
I currently have Miui v5 3.8.16 with dolby which is a very nice ROM Google now works perfectly many features great look and feel, but it's not the best with games (it's acceptable, it's worth for 1 try).
There are some great performing ROMs with different look like there is the: Xperia Z Jelly Bean withe a nice Xperia Z look.
If you prefer the stock android look then CM10.0 FreeXperia Project it's updated every weak or so, very good performance lot of customization ( there is this Project Jellyzeu which is stopped, same stock jelly bean as cm 10.0 but whit out the cm features, this is pure stock very good performance.),
If you would try ICS ROMs I suggest you ICS Original nice Sony ICS look and good performance too.

You should try Cm10 free xperia project. Actually this is the best one for me. I have tested alot of JB roms and this is my guard for now. Stable and smooth UI (you can try use Pure audio and PurePerformances pack's,and the ROM is flying away! - search at Android Software and hacking general development) at newset build FXP237 touchpads are not working,but at 235 works.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with various jb and ics roms,i will try them, also i would like to know, does jelly bean and project butter makes the difference on overall speed and smoothness than ics on our device? If you want, everyone who upgraded or who revert to gingerbread can post his experience and impressions and tell me if its happy or no after upgrading to ics or jb/reverting to gb
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

i tried many ics and jb roms here and after a while everytime i reverted back to stock based roms and now finally again to real stock with my own mods.
in games performance in jb and ics was the same for me. daily usage is smoother in jb but ics has the touchpads so for me in focus on gaming CM9 was the right one.
i reverted back go GB in the end because generally it was slower everywhere. GB is snappy, you tip the finger, the action happens. i have so much stuff installed and the heaviest games still run as on the first day.
even emulators. i use retroarch mostly and pcsx runs just perfectly under GB - one of the most problematic games colin mcrae rally 2.0 runs beautifully. under ics / jb the gpu drivers are not that good and refresh rates aren't reported right - results in some kind of stuttering. can be fixed but not perfectly.
or compare crazy taxi or most wanted (with opponents and heavy stages -> hint to reviewers here who just show a single lap without anything on the street) - they lag like hell under ics or jb - perfectly fluid on GB - this is the deal breaker for me. definitely.

Interesting, i didnt know about stuttering, i tought that the updated adreno drivers will let gpu gain more 3d performance, anyway with jb there are problems with touchpad or even with gamepad? Jb kernel supports unlocked data partition? Personally i ve tried some ics roms but i finded a bit heavy and laggy in general use then gb so i returned on gb, have to try if project butter makes really the difference, jb should be an improvement over ics

I bought an Xperia T that runs on jelly bean.... its horrific I removed over 100 preinstalled apks and it still idles at 350mb RAM usage
My desktop pc dosnt even use that much. the battery only lasted 5 hours max. and there's no solution for the locked bootloader
I chucked that thing in one of my draws and bought a second hand Play
With my Xperia mini pro I was a big fan of cm7
But with the play I couldn't get the touch pads to work (need for modern combat 4 if anyone knows how to fix that id love to know)
So I tried gin2jellybean ROM with lupus kernel (think its gingerbread that looks like jellybean)
battery's awesome (24 hours still on 95%) touch pads work,
There are some things id like to change and I miss allot from cm7 but overall very happy with it :good:

Rom decision
The best rom really depends to your taste.
I suggest that you try to read the roms on our android development and choose what do you need and like.
Also it is better on gb but for ICS and JB you will need too focus on gaming or looks.
At the moment I am using Nexplay by Cyberscopes and currently observing it.
Overall the best rom will really depends on you.

Use xplay Honami rom by smokerman... Fastest ics rom I've ever used...

Try Gin2jellybean then. I know its on GB but its very fast, it has so much free RAM and it has JB look and feel. Thanks to being on GB it has no compatibility issues, all buttons work and playing on this Rom is awesome experience
Sorry if my reply offended you (I know you wanted Rom on JB) but this is very interesting option.
