Arc S - Best Rom for Performance - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

GB is dead, deal with it!
Move on.

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.

[Q] which ICS ROM now is better in your opinion?

Hi guys, i don't know how many of you have flashed the ICS Rom on arc. I am using JJ's Hybird which I flashed about half a month ago and it gave me a pretty good experience.
There are too many new versions of ICS ROM now and I have no ideal which one to choose. Anyone has compared these new ICS ROM? Thanks
I've tried 3 or 4 and the best for me personally is Arconium. It's like the official ICS beta but supercharged!
Ice Cream Sony KA 12... Perhaps the best among other ICS roms..
If you don't mind me asking, have any of the ROMs you've mentioned overcomed the issues with video playback and recording as well as battery drain? And if so, have you found any other bugs that could prevent normal phone usage?
Thanks!
I'm using firebird ics v2 Rom and the battery life is as good as was my arconium v8.1
Nit a single bug found yet, and it's really smooth without supercharger
I love it already!

Arconium is the best IMO. Fully stock, neat and great battery life.
My ICS ROM
I'm using KA12 Ice Cream Sony released update 3/4. It still some bug in my phone. Losing Network operator, hang on boot screen, reload launcher. But it's still a best now.
I tested all another one, but no one liked me like CyanogenMod. The design, but the only think i didnt liked is the Contacts app, i got the GO Contacts to it.
I like this Rom, I hope a official version

Acronium is best

[Q] Choose ICS or GB ? with stability, best performance, smooth

I know ICS is new android version for now but I try many ICS rom. I found many problem (eg. game problem, not smooth).
I downgrade to GB becase I think GB has more performance, stability and smooth than ICS.
why many people use ics rom ??
what are advantages of ICS when compare to GB ??
thank for your comment ^^.
sorry for bad english TT
The ics is still fresh, and the gb is old, polished and fine adjusted.
Theres leaks that 4.0.4 is comming, it got better performance.
After a few updates on the ics, it will be good, polished
From my sexy LT15i
Tried the first version of aokp, reaaally smooth. Waiting for a complete rel.
Use GB, i have now mooded rom 30.5, it works very good, ics still need work on it

[Q] rom for Pure gaming device.

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

[Q] Switching to ICS

Hi, I have been reading the Xperia Arc Android Development fourms for the past few hours trying to decide which Custom Rom / Firmware to go with. I'm simply looking for a method to update my Arc towards a light/speedy phone with ICS.
I have had a few names shout out at me but currently its
Acronium 4.0 -> Trinity Kernal v1.6 or a recommended one he suggests.
I've seen that Trinity is created by the same author as MooDeD ICS.
Pretty much what I'm trying to say is its pretty hard to differentiate which custom rom would be better than the other ...
If I could be directed in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.
-Sincerely
Steven
Hey, the combination you already wrote is the fasted ICS combination at the moment. Flash Arconium 4.0, Trinity Kernel v1.6 and the new Xperia S apps. You wont really find a faster combination than this right now.
As I know, Trinity kernel has incompatibility to some apps. I use ArcKnight 3.3 which is very good in battery life.
for the ROM, arconium 4 still the best for now.
Regreted changing to ICS
I regreted changing to ICS
Almost all custom ICS ROMs out there don't perform as promised and they are somewhat laggy
I've double-wiped before installing the ROMs so I believe it's not my problem
And GB can give me the smoothness and responsiveness that no other ICS ROMs can

Well try only 4.0.4 based ROM, for speed and responsiveness, I can recommend CM9, AOKP, and JJ Hybrid. Many others claimed Acronium is the fastest, but I've not try it.
My 2 cents

Thanks for the reply guys, it was very helpful.

[Q] Which rom is better? ICS vs JB

So I would just like to know currently which ROM is better for gaming and everyday use. I know that JB was supposed to be much faster than ICS but I don't know how far it is in terms of porting. So which is better for gaming and everyday use? When I say gaming I mean with touchpad support fixes and stuff. Also please don't consider the speaker problem on JB as I have considered that. Any help is welcomed.
ICS should be more stable. At this point it's difficult to get a polished JB rom because there is no official rom from Sony to build something around it for Xperia Play, but some JB projects look promising so stay tuned.
Agree with this, JB seems promising though the FXP team are working hard at it. But if you want something with most things working go for an ICS based ROM

Is ICS still the way to go? Or is JB now the better alternative to GB?
JB is better at caching, which means you can multitask better and stuff. But on most JB ROMs panorama and video recording are not fixed yet, so if you want a fully working phone , go with ICS. I have also noticed that ICS is smoother in gaming, so if you are a gamer, you better stick with ICS. However, personally I would think that JB is smoother than ICS in general.

Stick with GB. ICS lags on gaming.
So far ive used ics and jb. But currently in love with cm10 jb. I love the stock feel with it. Lolz. Not a gamer much. Just wanted a full brewed working android phone.

Ics is definately the best. Currently ics beta 4.0.4. Has no bugs camera works and wifi works perfectly . Gaming is also very smooth with very little problems. Jelly Bean has a lot of bugs. And isnt very stable.
GO FOR ICS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Some jelly bean Roms are much smother then you every ics Rom.
For example: turbo ui
