Best ROM for gaming on R800X? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I messed up on my last post :/
I'm looking for the best kernel & rom to use on my xperia play R800X, looking for something with all the features, good game compatibility, more free ram, and more free internal memory. Can someone point me in the right direction?:crying:

After trying few ICS Rom available for our phone, i came to conclusion that there's no better ROM for gaming on R800x beside GB ROM,
so now i'm using GBTweaked ROM + Doom's Kernel V2,
so far so good, Gaming with all compatibility, Bravia Engine, Overclocking ability and else... good internal memory & ram as well..
u still need to de-bloat some stuff though... especially if u r like me who didn't use verizon as carrier

Good information, would you say GB tweaked along with doomkernel V2 is better than the stock 2.3.3?

GB tweaked is based on stock 2.3.3 as the rom says its "tweaked." No big improvements other than its debloated and added A few changes to your build prop.

Oops! sorry, I didn't see the "x" anyway I'm still looking for a good ROM for gaming, true ancestor is a good option.

arc s laggy compare to galaxy i9000

hello :cyclops:
i have the arc s lt18i.
in the beginning i flash the official sony ics release and i compare it to the samsung galaxy s1 - i9000 with custom rom (run ics).
the result is that the galaxy s1 much faster and smoother then the arc s. all the menus are much faster and the youtube app much much smoother. - the arc s is laggy and dont smooth in youtube app when i move from comments section to "other videos" section,when i scrolling in the "comment" section or "other videios" section.
i think thatthe official rom is the problem so i flashed ics jj hybrid rom.
now the phone is fast but not like the samsung galaxy s1 :crying:
the ypuyube app is very lag when i play a clip and navigate in the "comments" section, which in galaxy s1 is smooth!
as much as i know the arc s have a 1.4ghz and better specs
so what is the problem? is the samsung galaxy s1 is really better then the arc s?
thanks! :good:
​
Did you flash any custom kernel ? Its pretty fast for me ..

ArcKnight Kernel
I tried the arcknight kernel but my phone was even slower and had problems with its signal, now I'm using the stock kernel with cwm and xperia ice bean ROM.

Usually the purpose of a kernel is to over/under clock so go ahead and try doing that

hmm.. so the galaxy s1 with the 1ghz is better then the arc s with 1.4ghz?
because i did not overclocked both of them and the galaxy s1 is much faster.
do you guys have the same lags in the youtube with the scrolling? (while the video playing)
thank you guys for your comment!
Dont Forget
Dont forget that your galaxy S is using a custom rom. Considering if it were on a stock ROM performance would be better on the arc S considering that it is on 4.0.4

what is the matter?
ok but i dont see differences at all in the arc s or the galaxy s1.. i mean the ics look and everything is exactly like the arc s jj hybrid ics.
everything is the same!!! like they both based on ics!!!
but the old galaxy s1 wins for sure

I'm not really sure what your getting at and also the way of using your device could matter. Considering benchmarks the arc S would win for sure whereas in day to day use like you say the galaxy s could be better

Same problem with my Xperia Arc (ICS) ..
I think Sony mess up with ICS firmware. The phone was great and game friendly with GB, with official ICS it's laggy and don't play many games. I'm with a locked bl based on the 431 firmware. I've tried some roms and finally stick with pureness 10 V6 supercharged. Games won't play, but the phone is more reponsive, with less launcher restart. But overall the phone is slower than my old Desire with CM7

Unlock your bootloader , flash a custom kernel , flash a custom ROM ... Then you will see how fast it can perform...
BTW the galaxy s is probably on a custom kernel which is overclocked , running a custom supercharged ROM...

I don't want to unlocked bootloader and lost warranty and drm right And i don't think that putting a custom kernel made such a difference. But why Sony can't simply release a good rom is beyond my understanding. Why with GB i have no problem to play Angry birds and Asphalt 6 and when i upgrade to ICS, i must sometime reboot to play Angry bird because of touchscreen problem and can't play Asphalt 6 because of lack of usable memory. Maybe it's Google fault too, with ICS to big for 2011 smartphone, or bad Sony rom, but the result is here, unhappy customer, who are think twice before buying a sony phone in the future

If you are not satisfied with ICS then just downgrade to GB... Simple as that...

Best GB ROM?

hi im planning to flash my play into gb from ics(i know you know why..), Can someone give me what is the best GB rom for these 3 great roms..
jis2jellybean, NXT, or Trueancestor?? TIA
Personally I used to use JokaWilds ROM and it was by far the best GB ROM I ever used on my Xperia Play.
It looks like most people tend to favour TrueAncestor.

Dixperia 2 or True Ancestor v1.6 which best rom?

I'm new to XDA and use the True Ancestor v1.6, but wondered if the Dixperia 2 is better.
In the opnion of you, which one is the best?
What is the difference between the two?
hehehe
Xperia NXT is best, But to choose from those 2, dixperia 2 is way better.

What the NXT has better or different than the other? And in the 3 games which does better?
They're all pretty much the same. Tried each for as a daily driver for a good amount of time.
I switched from NXT to Ancestor and now to Dixperia 2, Dixperia is the first rom (with lupus kernel) wich allows me to play N.o.v.a 3 (+ Tegra plugin on Chainfire) realy smooth, i have OC my CPU to 1,5Ghz but comparing to other 2 roms, dixperia has much more gaming performance in my opinion.
TA is cool, but Dixperia has better performance, you all should install it. But btw, the all ROMs are pretty much same. Only differences like bloatware removed/some of them are not removed, other wallpapers, performance, included apps like Root Explorer etc etc...

I used both, and I think True Ancestor is better, I have tried several roms, I really liked JokaWild, it is very smooth for gaming, but some games does not work now i'm using Xperia NXT 1.2, all the games works good, it is not as smooth as JokaWild but runs really great. This is the best ROM I have tried, but I'm looking for an ICS ROM that runs great for gaming, Markphyton's UnOfficial ICS Test Release Xperia Play 4.0.4 is really ok, it runs smooth for daily use, but some games has lag
true-ancestor is better on my phone
xperia nxt and dixperia 2 run really good for gaming.
For other purposes, TA is slightly better, But i would still prefer Xperia NXT.
Gin2Jelly is best for me
lol, its eyecandy, not for gaming...
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
in my opinion for gaming TrueAncestor and gin2jelly are the best, with the same setting and kernel than other rom ( NXT and Dixperia ) the game run smoother with no lag.
then you have dixperia, very performant.
and finaly next rom, the more complete ( application, reboot menu...) but with the same kernel/setting than the other you got lag.
for me the gaming test is Backstab in outdoor level, if your rom run smooth with this game you could play to every game.
dixperia 2 is lighter i think...
i'm noob here just trying to help....:fingers-crossed:
U guys seems to be missing the point here. Each rom MAY BE the same but the diff that they all hav is their tweaks. Each rom hav diff tweak specially made for them. Thats what differs them from another. I think DiXperia 2 hav everything now. Just sayin.
Neither.
Try NXT ROM. It 's basically the "Value Pack" that users asked after sony decided not to bring ICS on XperiaPlay.

going back to GB but..

which one should I choose? what is your rom+kernal of choice? which governors and tweaks?

Absolutely, Lupus GB Kernel + Xperia NXT by KrisDee...
Would that be the lite or full flavored version?
I prefer lite, but it doesn't really matter much
I stay on ics but with my own mod. Neo L ics ported to markphyton final ics without tweak just update the adreno driver on advance stock kernel, its perfect.

Haven't been here since October - What's new?

Title says it all really, I've spent most of my time away from the rom/kernel scene - looking to get back into it (perhaps)
So - I have a few questions.
1. For the R800X, Cola rom seems to be the best in terms of ram and internal memory; which is what I'm looking in a rom BTW. Is that still the case?
2. At the time, NXT LE was the best rom for the R800AT in terms of ram and internal memory, now since then I've noticed there's a new rom called NXT game or something along those lines, is that rom less resource consuming?
3. Any new GB kernels? (currently have DooMKerneL V2 on R800X & LuPuS V5 on R800AT)
4. Is GB still the best android version for these phones? I've seen a lot of people using JB on their plays recently.
5. And once again, looking for roms with high amounts of free ram and internal memory. Anything 'new' around here I should look into?
-Thanks

Well for r800at I'd check out Aurora play,atomic gb, it gin2jellybean. All look great and have great ram except for the last one. It has jellybean features so it doesn't have as much ram but still has the great touch pad compatibility of gb and games still run great. For r800x there are not much new custom rooms. But for r800at you can update your kernel to lupus v8. Also for r800x you can use lupus v8 as well if you use stock 2.3.4 because there was a camera fix for it. But sync still doesn't work. And also 2.3.3 wifi doesn't work with any kernels but stock and doom v2. Welcome back

Do you happen to know how much ram and internal memory is available upon a fresh install of Aurora Play & Atomic GB?
I use Doomkernel V2 on my R800X (2.3.3) because Superoneclick wouldn't root my phone on 2.3.4. So I'm pretty sure I'm stuck on 2.3.3 for the R800X if I want a custom kernel and rom with working wifi.
Well for r800x you can use lupus v8 and 2.3.4. To root it just flash the root zip in the op of the thread. For Aurora play I think it has about 270- 280 on a fresh install. I never tried it because I have an r800x (edit: well i did but no service so only used a little and dont remember) but I saw that posted in the thread and everyone said good things about it. It also has adreno booster which helps out with lots of games but some people reported it had problems with enulators. But you can always remove that yourself. I'm not sure about atomic gb though you'll have to check out its thread. Also if you don't use service on your r800x you can use this patch here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961403 so that you can use GSM gb rooms on your r800x. I've tested it and it works. Just make sure to flash it right after flashing the rom.

I have service on my R800X but not the R800AT.
Any advantages Lupus V8 has over DoomKernel V2?
Aurora Play sounds pretty good, but what about Atomic GB?
Its more up to date but really performance was pretty similar. Only advantage is if you want to use 2.3.4. But if you need gsync it'd be best to stay on 2.3.3.

Atomic gb looks good and works very well. I can't say in my own opinion because all the GSM rooms I tried were only for a day. All the reviews in the thread seem good so why not try it. For now I would go with atomic gb because there's a new update coming for Aurora play soon that'll fix a lot of things and make it better so you might as well wait. But atomic gb is final so you can use that and if you don't like it switch to Aurora play when the new update comes

Let me ask you this, is the wifi any better on Lupus V8 compared Doomkernel?
On Doomkernel it tends to 'refresh' and disconnect on low wifi sometimes, and boy is that aggravating...

I've never had any problems with wifi so far except for sometimes after turning off the phone and back on it won't automatically connect. You have to go to wifi settings and then it'll connect. But other than that its been working great. You could also use doom kernel v 14 if you use 2.3.4. I think it gives better gaming performance.

No it works fine with r800x I've already tried it. But you have to use 2.3.4 rom with it. And camera won't work unless you flash that fix I linked you to earlier
