Arconium ICS 2 got music player buttons on lock screen and status bar... Also is clean, super fast and stable

Arconium 2.0 is great!

There is also KA Ice Cream Sony but KA15 wasn't really good. But the brand new KA16 seems to be great!

It is Rooted.

May give it a whirl then! Please ignore my ignorance but are there any major omissions? Such as video, hdmi...?

Until now, no known Issues.

... Makes no difference now...
Because my sim is locked to orange I can't unlock my bootloader! Refuse to pay to unlock it! :-(

I prefer CM9 but it's alpha version.

Dilemma
Hi, I'm currently undecided between Mooded's ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717 and Arconium ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515148.... Any advice?? Or any suggestions for other roms?? Am looking for something stable and fast and..well.. generally awesome lol...Any help is appreciated... They both seem quite the same based on what im reading.. Mooded's ICS can update OTA? how big would the updates be?? when it says OTA does it download the whole package again??

JJ Hybrid
I would suggest JJ hybrid Rom as the Xperia Launcher ROMS become slow with time. I have been using JJ for quite sometime and I am pretty happy with it. Make sure you first do a FULLWIPE before installing this ROM. It has given me great battery life and unparalleled performance. Just try it and I am sure you wont regret it.
1) Install latest Sony ICS baseband via flashtool.
2) Install stock Sony Kernel + CWM recovery.
3) Do a full wipe: i.e.Factory Reset, clear cache, clear Dalvik Cache and then format system.
4) Install JJ.
Make sure you sync all your contacts with Google before installing.

I would say Arconium ICS...its smooth..it has same look as stock..i m sure u will be satisfied with this ROM

If you care about games, ICS is not great with them, I tried Arconium ICS and while being a great ROM I wasn't able to play Temple Run, that's a common problem with every ICS rom from what I've read
So, if you don't care about games, go straight for it xD

Thanks guy for your reply =) so i installed Mooded's ICS rom anyway and I'm kinda liking it.
@romiltherock
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Can i know what's your antutu benchmark score and the configurations you use? kernel, cpu freq, etc etc...
@arpith.fbi
I've tried arconium and comparing it to mooded i think i'll go with mooded.. mooded offer update OTA (i havent tried) and also included notification bar toggle, 3 launchers to choose from , custom themes, battery mod, etc etc.. also, using the same config @1.4Ghz, performance governor, moving from arconium to mooded gave me +100 in Antutu.
@Shark107
The games issue seems to be on the game's devs..so i'll just wait for the update from Imangi. ICS is so much "smarter" lol.. besides games gets boring but not customizing your phone. it never gets old lol

KA 17.2
I'm Using KA 17.2 atm, KA16 had several errors where you get a frozen screen when using browser or playstore.
Now with 17.2 my phone is terrible slow, dont know if I did anything wrong -.-
Next thing to try for me is Cyanogen ...

Modded ics is best one i am using it with 1 ghz n lagfree profile
No lag awsome performance
Battery drain in sleep mode is too low 1 % in 2 hours or 3 hourz

[Q] Best ROM for pure gaming?

So after a year of loving my Play I've finally decided to move on to a Galaxy Note (and boy do I LOVE it!). This leaves my Play as an extra device that I figured I would make into a 100% gaming device. I'm looking for a ROM+Kernel that will get me the BEST performance for playing games both emulated and Android originals. I have no preference if it's GB or ICS but I assume it will end up as GB.

If its just purely gonna be a gaming device just flash a stock ftf, then flash a custom kernel and get rid of everything except the gaming part! Maybe even use an a2sd script that will help maximise space. That's basically what most of the roms are anyway just heavily themed stock based stuff

What is stock FTF? And a2sd is Apps2SD right?

Simply install the doomkernel and the ics2gb Rom overclock your Device to 1.6ghz and you got the fastest Rom which exist,.

Hey Guys,
I'm getting a used r800x (most likely with a locked bootloader) what would you say is the best route to go to get the best gaming experience (with links if possible)
Thanks a lot!

Unlock the bootloader. Get an overclocked kernel. Keep it from updating to 2.3.4

This is great ROM!

ROM
I'm using this ROM, it's for locket and unlocket bootloaders. Flash the ROM with the minimizer and you will always have free RAM memory for heavy games and emulators. Recommend with DoomKernel

Sorry for my bad english

flash 2.3.2 firmware root it and delete all useless apps(before making a reboot) now you are done you will get best gaming and battery performance without any lag(more than 290 mb free ram:good:

[Q] best bug-free ROM..?

hi..
still on rooted stock GB R800i with locked BL... having plans on flashing CFWs...
i just wanna ask if what is the best ROM / Kernel combination..? preferably bug-free.., light and with the least compatibility issues known...
thanks..
additional question...
what ROM should i go for..? GB or ICS based...? what are the pros and cons..?

I'm currently using NXT by Krisdee. It's smooth and fast, and I haven't encountered any bugs yet. The pros of GB are that they are generally more stable, and support more games (EA stopped supporting ICS or something). I personally like using ICS. It has some nice features, like the data traffic monitor, and I prefer the overall look of ICS. But if you want gaming (though touchpads do work on ICS I think), battery life, and generally a more stable rom, go for GB.

you mean to say that all things are working on the NXT ROM..? i mean wi-fi, camera and others..? i've read some ROM reviews and users reported bug stating that their cam is not working or is unable to tether..

There is a solution to fix "cannot connect to camera" error. Go to settings > quick panel settings > widget buttons, untick LED flashlight, and done. As for tether, it works for me, maybe they did something wrong during the installation. As long as you follow the instructions, you'll have a bug free and stable rom without problems.

If you're a hardocore gamer , i'd recommend sticking to any GB rom , as you'll have a better lag-free gaming experience
for a good GB Rom i'd recommend either NXT 1.3 by Krisdee , or DiXperia 2 by Dikej
I myself prefer ICS for the extra features and better UI , and bear in mind that i don't use my phone for gaming as much as i did before so i don't know how much you'll compromise your gaming experience by using ICS
examples for good ICS Roms : Stock ICS by MarkPhyton "doesn't have any bugs AFAIK" , and the one i'm using now is ICS Pureness ported by Sechko , i prefer it for the better theming and less bloat to deal with
a good non-stock ICS rom is AOKP rom and MIUI By ComicDan , i had no issues dealing with both of them , but i just preferred Stock based Roms

NXT Rom 1.3 is the best rom available now, lucky u don't have to unlock bootloader and change kernel to have it.
Only one bug: when recharge the phone while it"s off, the phone turns itself on. Just this one

I don't think that's a bug. Every rom does that, and it gives you the advantage that you would still be able to turn on your phone if your power button broke.

hi i tried miui rom devoloped by cosmicdan. now its removed due to the bugs. i want to go for the ICS pureness by sechko. but the fact is i cant flash a kernel with CWM. only the kernel image is loading and nothing more. i tried "lupus ics beta and doomkernell" what should i do? do i need to go to the stock kernel again? can you tell me how to get into the pureness....

Lol, you need to flash it on your pc.

You don't flash kernels via CWM, it's done via your pc, you can search the forums on how to flash a kernel

surely
surely
SURELY " MIUI Australia " is the #1 => made by " Dan " magical man
after that , markphyton's official rom
after that , sechko's ICS and miui
in the end trueancesor

If you really want a bug free rom why dont you stick with stock. Who can make a better rom other than the manufacturer?

Which ROM best device would be stable without problems and without fault or anything

For that reason I have stock GB .62 rom, rooted, added launcher tweak into build.prop and moved some applications from /data/app to system/app, at the moment I have about 170 mb free space my Arc S, and it is running smooth without any problems, without anything missing or not working.
With all those wishes, I don't find any other way.

Try the Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0.3.

-incredible battery
-no lag or bugs

Hi,
in past two months I have tried most of the popular ROMs. First of all I would not recommend you to use custom ROMs with locked bootloader. For some reason even if a ROM is supposed to work with locked BL I would experience bootloops or other problems. After I have unlocked it the bootloops dissapered. If you decide to unlock it first thing to try is CM10 just to see how jellybean looks. It works great with no problems but the camera is 480p and I dont think that is a compromise anyone should make. But still go for it just to see what we're missing out on . Of ICS rROMS I can recommend Ultimate HD (you will need to temper with it to enable XLoud) and JJ Hybrid (for stock ICS look).
Performance wise the GB is the best for Arc S. Even though the benchmark results were the same for GB/ICS/JB when I've tested it, if you are gaming GB will give you the best performance. Also camera and sound work best. If it doesnt bother you to use the older version of android go with GB. If you unlock the BL then you can use Doomkernel for GB and OC and UV the phone for better performance and battery life. There is Setxperia app that works great with Doomkernel in GB but gives me problems with Rush kernel so I cant use it in ICS.
You can go with the stock .42, root, delete anything you don't need. And update to .62. That alone would give you the best possible performance you can get out of Arc. If you unlock the bootloader then you can overclock it to 1600 MHz and undervolt at least -50mV whitch gave me about 3 days of battery life and faster phone.

[Q] Frequent game restarts/pauses

As explained in the title, my Xperia Arc either pauses or restarts every 30 seconds or so while playing games, especially high memory games like Clash of Clans, Zenonia and etc. Not particularly a tech savvy guy so I might need professional step-by-step guidance on what to do here.

Have you overclocked your phone?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

No, I haven't overclocked my phone. Currently not using any custom rom but basic ICS version 4.0.4. Kernel version shows 2.6.32.9-perf on phone. By the way this problem happens only when i play games, other applications like Facebook works just fine.

Stock ICS for Xperia 2011 isn't optimized for heavy use (small amount of RAM) and got outdated Adreno drivers. Custom ROMs / AOSP / CM + custom kernel will take care of this by using various performance specific tweaks.

If most of you here don't know, ICS is not recommended for gaming. Switch to a GB or JB ROM if you want to use your phone for gaming.

I see... Actually I once used custom ROM before but games are still kinda laggy. Is it recommended that I downgrade my Android version to GB?
