Rom for gaming + decent browser on locked bootloader - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all i want to apologize if any of my questions seem a little noob
I have still a locked bootloader (dont want to avoid warranty) and if i understand correctly i can only install roms 2.3.4 based, since i can't change kernel right? Wich is ok, cause i think ICS is not good enough for gaming experience.
Best roms available, like Xperia NXT or DIxperia 2 are great, but i was wondering is it possible to have a decent default browser too?
I mean, the best option will be having the default ICS Xperia browser (i test it on xperia mini pro official), but i understand that it's not possible to have that kind of smoothnes without video acceleration, so only ICS? On this matter, how can the Galaxy 2 (when still on 2.3.6) had a very smooth default browser, whithout video acceleration?

Why use stock browser when you have Dolphin Browser?

Since i was talkink about smoothnes, it doesn't matter. Dolphin uses the same engine of default browser, it's basically a skin. So, your Dolphin is smooth as Opera Mobile?

The latest Dolphin beta uses their own engine.

I would use Gin2JellyBean lite and Dolphin beta

Gin2JB for gaming? I think not.

I can relate to needing the superior gaming of GB but missing the smooth browsing of ICS. And Opera Mobile being the best browser of a bad bunch on GB.
I'm a bit weird in liking a particular old version of Opera Mobile 11, why not try it? :fingers-crossed: I still think it's smoother than the new Dolphin beta and lets you scroll diagonally:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1310050386_Opera_Mobile_11.10.ADR-1107051709.apk
Honestly though, I ended up using Opera Mini since it's by far the fastest of all, and just keep whatever other full-fat browser around for when I need one. It's sad though cos I know from using ICS the device can do better.

Dont hate on me, i have tried CM7 and TA but this one is best, + i tried Gin2JB too, and it sucks for gaming.

hi, im using stock jvr + galaxianGT 1200Mhz. why dolphin hd,miren so laggy compare to stock browser? i just need the useragent option for my browser
+1 for dolphin Hd
+1 for dolphin Hd
I am using opera mobile on my GS
So its safe to say that both dolphin HD and opera are faster than the stock browser, even on odexed firmware? Sweet, I'll just have to try them out then. Thanks
opera mobile without any doubt!!!!!!

+1 opera mobile fast n smooth
Opera is very fast and smooth, however it doesn't give you the option to stream video only download it. This is when you use the stock browser to let the system know you want to stream
Opera Mobile it's really fast
I think dolphin browser is quite good.
It is easy to use.
stock browser.
Opera Mobile, their Data Compression system speeds things up x2.
My HTC Wildfire S runs MagicOS (Unicorn Hair, Rainbow Extract and Pixie Dust).
Since JVQ, and solved the deodexing issue, Stock Browser becomes faster and smoother.
No chance to the other browsers as Dolphin, Opera, Skyfire.
I think there is many users that haven't tried yet this browsing experience.
ChristhianC. -from my I9000 XDA Premium app
I also use Opera + Boat Browser (very fast and light too).
Tried everything, but nothi.g can beat smoothness of the JVQ+ stock browser.
JVQ, JVR stock browser, trust me, its really fast, panning, zooming, scrolling, no micro lag or lag at all.
i allready tried boat browser, opera mobile, dolphinHD, xscope (previously this my favorit). Now im using JVR stock browser.
Im totally agree with criscan (you guys should try it)
So far best browser i've tried is jvr stock one. Although it's even better if you use this modded stock one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203881
with this mod so its lagfree when deodex:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212796
There is no lag at all
+1 stock browser. on jvr odexed rom it sooooo smooth :-D

ICS is getting good now on the KF. Kernel 3.0 has hardware acceleration and all that good stuff.
And yeah, Dolphin Browser HD is a good alternative browser. I use it instead of the ICS browser.

over clock with nofrills to 1.402ghz using smart ass V2 and deadline and also to boost it up even more (no lag) use application called ramexpander and set it to 512mb ram and 90mb swappiness and click start (top left) and enjoy turn off ramexpander by unticking when your not using it!!!

Camera works fine, The only browser related problem I've came across was when I went to youtube.com instead of the app then proceeded to skip a few minutes into the video... then I got a message saying the browser is not responding... other than that it's awesome, one complaint tho. The sound QUALITY is better but the sound VOLUME is lower than the stock GB.

most lightweight rom with touchpads working fully???????

basically I been using gin 2 jellybean but it seems so slow, my favorite rom is true ancestor but it's not stock based so no touchpads, so what roms do you use? I need something extremely lightweight and fast with 100% working stock based touchpads on ALL GAMES.

I have been using gin2jellybean and it does feel slow sometimes, I would stick with stock Rom debloated and doom kernel as you have unlocked your bootloader and possibly v6 supercharger

no it doesn't try games like 9mm, mc3 and asphalt 7
I would try Holo launcher, it works on GB and ICS and JB roms and its packed with tons of features and its app size is less then 1mb. It defaults to using ICS icons for apps, but in launcher appearance settings you can select icon pack as "none" and the launcher will use whatever icons your rom is built with. Its between 10-13mb of ram usage as well.
I agree with the Holo Launcher It worked fine for me, i went back to ics 4.0.4

Try GlazedICS with the FXP-Turbo1 Kernel. I went from the LuPuS Kernel to the FXP-Turbo1 one and it made a HUGE difference!!

Okay:I'm able to run GTA3 at max distance, everything turned up high and max resolution with only a bit of stuttering the first few mins then it runs perfect.
Dead Trigger runs on max full speed and CODBOZ runs full speed
Touchpads work perfect.
What I did:
Flashed .58 enhanced firmware.
Flashed doom kernal
Flashed TrueAncestor 1.6 lite
Flashed the doom kernal wifi tweaks
Flashed the ZRAM enabler for Doom Kernal
Then finally flashed the TEAM ROM (I like the theme)
I deleted a bunch of system apps I dont use such as:
Keyboard (replaced with Swiftkey3 Pro)
Laucher (replaced with Smart Launcher Pro)
Email
Its really lightweight - nothing installed that needs to be installed

if app or game is compatible with armv6 n android 4+ then we will be able to install n use it. nova n apex is compatible with armv6 n android 4+ so we can install n use them. but we cant be able to install games like subway surfers n temple run since they r compatible with armv7. also we cant use chrome even if its compatible with armv6. coz it isnt even stable in an armv7 low end device.
