I am looking for a good rom for my xperia arc. Currently stock ICS 4.04 is installed(not rooted) and i am looking for a rom which provide better performance and better RAM management. I have checked various threads and realized that most of custom rom out there are buggy some of them does not support HDMI some having issues with WIFI etc . So, please suggest me a ram which is best in terms of performance without having these major bugs. I want bravia engine, Xloud, Mega Bass etc phone features which improve its audio/display quality and i donot want all those bloat ware timescape, integrated facebook etc which slows down the phone. Considering this please suggest the best rom. If possible please refer a link/complete guide how to root/unlock bootloader(if required) to install that ram. Any help would be appriciated.

Yep.

CM9 if you want ICS
CM10 if you want JB (some stuff still doesn't work as it supposed to)
But in my opinion, other than those two I mentioned above, the best custom ROM is debloatwared-supercharged-updated adreno libs-minimally init.d tweaked STOCK ROM with your favorite custom kernel.
Look at my sig for my stock ROM mix and match in general. I also use aeon's lockscreen and smallapps port, custom systemui.apk, cybershot mod, and acid audio engine mod. Stock ROM with that config is more than enough for me. Fast and stable

Kernel and Rom are 2 diff things. The kernel doesnt change wen u flash a rom. The main thing here is that, if u r flashing ics based rom den u shud hav ics based kernel. That means u r now on stock kernel and ultimate hd v2 rom.
If u wanna flash adv stock kernel, there is a link on the ultimate hd thread. You ll hav to use fastboot for flashing kernels.
About lucky patcher, in ultimate v2 there is some prob with it. The dev is going to fix it in ultimate v3.
I know there is few threads with same subject,but here i wanna talk about:
-why do you preffer GB or ICS or JB ?
-what ROM of GB do you preffer?
-what ROM of ICS do you preffer?
-what ROM of JB do you preffer?
-what JB ROM is better for daily use?
-what ICS ROM is better for daily use ?
-why you prefer longer than GB,ICS ?
-why you prefer longer than ICS,JB ?
Jelly Bean (cm10) for our device has poor font rendering so I stick with ICS (cm9).

Man! you remembered me my last exams
Because too many questions are there and if i try to give on of those answer for you the next one will slap me:laugh:
Just joking, no offence..
Bro i've tried many ROMs out there, every ROM is unique from other by some features or some customizations.
Better answer is you should check every Rom and let check the taste, you'll better know what is best for you and why it is best for you and others.
Nowadays I am on MIUIv4 and working perfect for me but in others point of view there will be some other Rom..
MIUIv4 I prefer because it's stable, no root problem at all, link2sd working fine for me, smooth butter touch and lots of themes from miuithemes.com..
There are many threads you can find users opinion and suggestions but you can't measure depth of sea util unless you dive into it
So ... i decided to try all ROMS.
-->first i tried ROBOTOMOD and what can i say ... it's awesome !!
-battery life is ... ok
-GPS is working
-is very smooth
-maybe my problem or my mistake,but i have just 1 sound for call,1 for notifications and 1 for alarm
-Conclusion:it's a GOOD ICS ROM !
-->Now i will try CM10 by dudeman or CM10 by benjamin.
Aniway,continue to post about ROMS !! Thank's

That is really good you are checking all Roms and share your experince with us:good:
I think CM10 has a problem with sim registration may be it could work for you though..
For battery life non sense GB Roms are good in my opinion and for smoothness you have CM xx..
Check CM7.2 by alquez, it is stable, fast, and OK battery life.:highfive:

So ... i used cm10 by dudeman,last build.I think it's a little bit slow,and have a problem with data conection(jumping on and off all the time)
About EQDKP v5.2 it's okay but slow compared with kimsmod ultimate,and volume have a little annoyng problem:not changing volume state,but changing tracks.if you have a call in progress,you can't use your volume buttons to do that,you have to put down notification bar,open quick settings and then touch de volume ... REALLY ANNOYNG !!
About CM7,doesn't see my WI-FI connection.I don't know why :|
Now i will charge my phone because is low of battery,and then i will install kimsmod supreme deodex(odex if will be uploaded in this time).
In my opinion,BEST ROM(2.3.5 GB) is kimdmod ultimate.No bugs,good battery life !! AND IS VERY FAST AND SMOOTH.
So:i installed kimsmod supreme deodex version but internal memory is only 33 mb so i decided to use data2sd:BAD IDEA !! because i have a class4 32gb sd card,the phone was very very very slow.So ... now i installed cm7.2 and ... it's working good.I will stay with this rom 2-3 days.If i will change the ROM again,i will post here.
Please,post your opinions about ROMS !!
Hi.. I would recommend CM10 by benjamingwyn. It super smooth and in conjunction with apps2sd lots of memory. Though robotmod was good too.
Sent from my Crescent using xda app-developers app
The smoothest, fastest ICS rom I've tried (and I've tried almost all of them) was Robotomod, but Data2SD didn't work, so I changed to SpeedDroid. It seemed a little bit more laggy, but it was still pretty smooth.
Now I use MIUI v4, and it was as smooth as Robotomod at the beginning, but lately it became a bit slower, maybe I should reinstall it.
I tried the basic CM9, all of the CM10 roms, and they were good too, but sometimes not as smooth as the previously mentioned roms.
Hope Robotomod 2, a new Speed Droid and Project Llama will be available soon.
Agree with Pr3no:good:
MIUIv4 is pretty smooth and there are some users who are able to working this rom with data2sd and s2e support..
I am on link2SD and works flawlessly for me..
Hope so that project llama will break the ice and waiting for speed droid too..:highfive:

Guys,i have some news.Kimsmod supreme is awesome !! Verry smooth,fast,stable.stable for me with dust v8.8 kernel.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app
NEWS !
I installed kimsmod supreme ODEX version.
-it's fast
-stable
-internal memory is around 74 mb,and if you link to your ext partition facebook and youtube,you will have around 100 mb free.
i've pretty much tried all of the roms available for the "c" my favorite so far is the miui snapseries 2.10.12 like it quite a bit, so much to customize and have no problems with battery.
as for gingerbread, jmz sense was my favorite, i used it up until the first miui for cdma was out. i like hensemod a lot but mms came as garbled messages.
link2sd has always worked for me.
i also really like dudeman's paranoid android. its all good stuff, and i-m always down to try new roms.
sent from my heart to yours ;")

Nice answer,thanks !
I have tried nearly every ROM that is available for our little phone. I some ways i am kinda of a perfectionist and just want stuff to work. Every ROm that ive tried, although great ROMS, all have little things that I didnt like.
Everytime I keep returning to a Stock ROM, making my own tweaks, so things work the way I like.
I am by no means a dev, just playing around with the kitchen.

Best option for u is to flash a launcher..my recommendation is Nova launcher or Themer beta launcher.
Themer beta launcher gives u tons of customization option
