hi everyone!
I want to root and install a new rom on my friend's Xperia Arc ...
but I wanted to know which ROM is the best for high score benchmarks(like antutu) and the stabliest for the everyday use...
My option one is the JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1
the 2nd Cyanogenmod nightly
the 3rd cyanogenmod stable...
if a better rom is not on the list please tell me
And can i overclock with the stock kernel of the stock ics ?
Cheers...
Arconium ICS V2.0 with Aroma installer
Mooded ICS 100.0 by Chaosfirzen
you need to root and unlock the bootloader... why would you have CM nightly 2nd and CM stable 3rd? and you can overclock the stock kernel but faliure can happen so use a custom kernel for OC
Arconium 4.0 ICS
CM7.2-Stable
heres a whole selection to choose from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
the best rom i would suggest is ka21 in terms of battery life while in idle mode, it gives me as low as 0.2 % battery loss per hour(measured using battery drain from play store). it is very diffrent and even has jellybean mod.
if you would want to overclock the stock kernel then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673476 . if u have an unlocked bootloader, you can even flash custom kernels. note that an unlocked bootloader CAN be relocked.
for me its JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.1 which is good for everyday use.
UI wise for me its better looking with the original look and feel of the android 4, and usable than others.
But it all depends on personal preference.
I used every moded rom for xperia arc and i stayed with stock 4.0.4 with few modification (mainly Xperia S app, any modified sustemUI) and obviously DooMKernel chaos v5
With every moded rom I have some problems (Lockscreen stuck for few minutes <<i cant unlock phone>> , CM9 camera app sux, on JJ sometimes i cant answer the phone, ChaosFriZen eat battery in less than one day) Maybe my phone is "broke" but with stock rom I have no problems...
Arconium 4 with few files from KA21(SemcDlna.apk) and Xperia S apps
and KTG kernel
I tried Mooded but is full of bugs and not as fast as arconium

Hello all,
Which custom rom and kernel you would recommend for better performance for sony ericsson arc. Model number: LT15i, Ver: 2.3.4, Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf, build number 4.0.2.A.0.62. rooted. I'm noob so I appreciate any help.
Try JJ's hybrid ROM (I'm using 2.3b) with ArcKnight kernel (I'm using Version 8).
The ROM is fast, light, and stable (2.3b was a tad buggy but I have high hopes for 2.4 ), and the kernel is solid too.
Find them here (newer versions):

ArcKnight Kernel

If it is performance you want, then cm9 is the best. Only downside is battery life is quite bad.

Hi,
I tried to flash CM9 but somehow after flashing with the CM9 Kernel and restarting the phone, the screen goes blank. Nothing comes up...
I dont know the reason but i tried a couple of times but same thing happened.
The ROM i found best was TEAM ROM HDPI with Doomkernel.
Again it depends on indvidual likes IMO...
What is some good rom with CM9 and where i can found TEAM ROM HDPI ?
you can find the list of ROMs in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572904.
You have TEAM ROM HDPi there
My 2 cents
Ya CM9 is the fastest and slickest, still buggy tho, video camera and hdmi connection not working, but I love the speed, coming from a nexus one backgroup, AOSP is my cup of tea.
For now, I'm testing JJHybrid V2.4, so far so good.. give it a go.
I just went from jj's hybrid rom 2.3b to 2.4b to miui v5 and it is mega fast in comparison, I use doomkernel too

Hi guys. What is the best custom rom ics-based at the moment for my xperia play? The word "best" means the stablest, most customizable, most nice-to-see, most intuitive and most suitable. I use my play basically for phone functions, gaming and internet. What's your opinion?
The JokaWild v3 ROM' ,with no doubts. The best custom rom that I ever had in my phone ,very fast ,smooth ,stable and the gaming experience is aewsome - no lags! Use it with DooMKerneL v14 ,and you will get a new phone!

Thank you very much mate.. Another question: where i can find a guide to change kernel?
EDIT: the JokaWild rom is gingerbread-based.. What i'm searching for is a rom with ics android 4.0
hi....i have the 0% battery problem on my xperia arc and i want to update it to ics, but i havent been able to find any kernel which fixes this problem what should i do?
I have tested it and I finally decided that staying at 2.3.4. modded to 2.3.7. by myself
so will i be able to update to ics when doom kernel for ics 4.0.4 with the fix for battery issue comes out ?because now if i officially update to ics it shuts down with the 0 battery problem .......
dont . It drains battery like hell !!!!
ICS is good but very good with tweak.
Many rom provide many tweak.
Upgrade to ICS and install a ROM like JJHybrid rom and MooDeD rom or others.
With MooDeD rom, my battery can last in 2 day with normal usage.
Hello Guys!
Any good ROM with great performance,which is stable and has stuff working?
Cheers

Since that you wishes for a rom that is stable and has all the stuff working..then the only option that you have is stock based rom such as arconium,jelly sandwich,ics jb remix..etc..cm9 and cm10 is out of the question then..However, if you prefer the aosp look..you may try jj hybrid rom that is based on stock but with the cm9 look..it is fast too..
Right now I am using Omega v3 with the jb driver and lupus v5.2 kernel..for me that and jj hybrid is the fastest rom that i ever tried..
Aha, great then I might try it then
..
If you don't care about graphical user interface ,defintely JJ hybrid rom is great (fast - compatible with games - has ROM control as well) ,few bugs though like wifi hotspot http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1537717
If you care about having nice user interface with reasonable game performance with lots of free ram available you can try Jelly sandwich http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1836993 or the Remix http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1884958
Also Xperia Purness worth a try as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1788701
For the Kernel i always advice to use stock kernel in order to avoid battery drain issues.

This is so far the smoothest and fastest ROM I have experienced on my phone
It provides loads of memory:
Internal Memory : About 350 Mb on clean install (could be more)
RAM : On average gives an awesome 240-250 Mb free on clean install
This is so far the max amount of space provided by any ROM
Main Features
1. Clean and awesome UI from Xperia S
2. NXT style lockscreen (fully working)
3. Notification Toggle fully working with working Network Mode Toggle (2G/2G3G/3G)
4. Modded Camera Higher Image and Video Qualty
5. Xperia launcher with options avilable

And 'this' is?
Btw, I am on jj's hybrid ROM.Yeah, its great but there are launcher lags :| and not so much ram available occasionally...
Go for Jelly Sandwich 6.1 | Adv Stock ICS Kernel
Super Fast, Smooth, Stable
Great ROM....
Yeah Jelly Sandwich is the fastest rom i've ever tested.
Vote for JJ Hybrid, Jelly Remix, Pureness ...
I'm on JJ Hybrid Stock kernal after some time you might see some launcher lags.Battery is doing good

Too much topic abt "best rom".
In my opinion, GB is the best. I use Acorium 8.2 and everything ok for me.
xperia ultimate hd by jader for super speed and stability,combined with adv. stock kernel
Jelly Sandwich 6.2
my Best

Works good with best battery life
Tried many, but have to admit GB is the one with the least lags.I am using X-GAMER now and its fantastic
Stock based Gingerbread ROM beats any ICS/JB ROM anyday.. Use Arconium 8.2 or Xperia S ROM.. Everything works fine and smooth!

Ever trying JB based ROM?
Was wondering about bugs/FCs before, but after 1 month using KXP ROM in the development section I could not suffer the lags of any 4.0 roms any longer:fingers-crossed:
I do not play any large games on phone (psp, 3ds are for games) n not interested in the cameras, so far JB roms work well for me.
Jelly Sandwich 6 + adv stock kernel
amazing: smooth and battery friend.
Xperia T 5 rom + adv stock kernel + build.prop& init.d custom tweaks = awesome

hahahahaha your asking for the perfect rom wich is not been created yet lol
i would recomend you follow attacks post for the step by steps
but for gaming i would probably go with Cola Rom as it is the fastest rom for gaming and probably doomkernel for your kernel.
and for jellybean rom i would go with Slimbean...well thats my thoughts... hoped it helped

Is doomkernel good for 2.3.3? I've tried Lupus GBv11 it works but the wifi is only functional on 2.3.4 I've tried hatcyl's 2.3.3 kernel with 1.6 overclock which just causes my play to bootloop and act crazy. Whats the best kernel available to 2.3.3? From what I can tell the bulk of custom ROMS are based off 2.3.3. Aside from Lupus' GBv11 kernel wifi problem with 2.3.3 it worked perfectly. So a good custom ROM based off 2.3.4 might be an alternative, any suggestions?

Doomkernel v2 is the best kernel that I have used. I run it at 1.2ghz smartassv2 and sio. You also have to flash wifi modules that come with it. I've never had problems with it. Debloated stock 2.3.3 or my Zeuscnxtlite(Stock 2.3.3) rom gets me 300mb free ram on average.
Since Download links are down for doomLord, here are the files.
