Best Rom for Everything ???

Just wanna know the best rom for :
Gaming
UI (LooKs)
Speed & Performance
Battery Life (Even with slight Overclock)
Cant really find one that looks really good.

DiXperia 2, Lupus Linaro GB v2. Thats it.

The one u already used: NXT Rom

But still after a lot of thread that ask the same Q, and yet we hav another. Pretty weird tho.

Please help me for my xperia !
hi people. I will soon receive my xperia play and I really need advice.
If I did not root my phone or install a custom rom, can I play for example zelda ocarina of time has no lags or any problems or many other zelda games is just one example.
At the interface disign and I brace for a moment by the version 4.0.4 that I love.
So I advise you to install a custom rom or rooter my xperia play?
Another issue because I have a xperia x8:
Have known you a custom rom 4.0.4 with the camera and complete?
(please send me links I pert on your forums yet sorry)

No one can answer this really can they.

Well, there's loads.. there's Gin2JellyBean, NXTRom, DiXperia, or if you want to try out ICS, there's Mark Phytons ICS ROM for Android 4.0.4

Sorry to hijack and all that but if all I want to do gaming wise is play emulators and not the latest games what would be the recommended ROM? Currently using 2.3.7 true ancestor with doom kernel. Fancy a bit of ics, but don't want to sabotage my ability to play megadrive and snes games (and so on)
Cheers all

Best Custom Rom For Xperia Play

I can't seem to find a Rom that im just 100% happy with. I've tried various GB and ICS roms but still am not happy. I like to play the Asphalt racing series and every rom I've tried on still lags. My Xperia Play 4G I've had unbranded bootloader unlocked and have tried cyanogenmod 7 and 9, I've tried the official ICS, nxt, true ancestor, and various other roms. I don't understand swap file or swap partition usage. Im also a user of supercharger v6 script which im not sure if it actually works. Please advise me.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Gin2JB or Xperia NXT (i think that's the name). Try overclocking as well. If you don't like V6, you could unsupercharge and try RAM manager from google play store.

Im diggin the stock 2.3.3 rom. What can you hate about it? Everything works. Sony made sure to get most of our PLAYS functionality were forced to stick with stock to have everything working. =/

The best rom is jin2jellybean with doomkernel governator smartassV2 I/O sio 364mhz - 1305mhz

what ICS Official do you use ? is this what you mean ?
i plan to flash this ROM to my Xperia Play , and i plan to unlock the bootloader of my device
what you mean missing the game play ? is the game play getting more laggy on that ROM ?

Yes thats the ics Rom im talking about. I call it official because Sony has been helping that developer finish it. But asphalt 6 and 7 lag on it but very playabe. GTA 3 is unplayable.(same with all ics roms) nova 3 lags. Gingerbread is just what our xperia plays are meant to run. PsXperia games converted for GB are also unsupported. Meaning only ps1 games can play on ics are the small list of officials from the store. so if you want a gaming phone stay with a GB stock or custom rom. Im using 2.3.3 stock with lupus kernel o.c. to 1500ghz and supercharged

hmmm so some games is still uncompatible with the ROM :crying: even the converted ps pocket games with PSXperia :crying:
but isn't ICS has improved memory management for running apps ? then why the game is more laggy & incompatible
based on your testimonial i guess i cancel my plan to unlock bootloader and flash this ICS ROM + custom kernel , for now
until markphyton can make the very stable release ( let's just hope so ) hehehe
i currently using Xperia NXT 1.3 KrisDee with stock kernel ( locked bootloader ), i found this stable custom ROM for GB and great gaming performance
but i have found a few small problem like , missing DLNA feature , cannot like track in music player ( like on facebook ) , cannot sync with senseMe & cannot charge the battery in OFF posistion

Ive had a bad experience gaming on ics. I dont necessarily say ics is unstable. It has came leaps and bounds from where it was on xperia Play its just I think these devices lack the extra hardware requirements. I.e. Cpu,gpu,ram. Gingerbread unfortunately being outdated is still the most stable for gaming. You can still achieve dlna by using es file explorer and setting up ftp with your router, pc. I access all my home files everywhere on my phone.

Unlocking your bootloader is still not a bad $20 investment. The test point method is simple, effective, and fast. You also might be able to find flashable addons for those other options you mentioned. Just saying. Im still happy im unbranded and can flash roms and kernels at my desire.

You wont be disappointed after unlocking your bootloader. I recommend the lupus GBv5 kernel and dont forget to flash the lupus wifi modules afterwards.

so Xperia Play HW is not good enough for ICS , hmmm so maybe the other 2011 Xperia product is laggy even on official ICS
yeah i want to unlocking the bootloader , is it worth for flashing other custom kernel ? is the differences is significant ?
and one problem is , i dont want to lose the DRM on my devices , so i prefer the testpoint method , but i find it hard to remove the sticker on the back of the phone it's very sticky , lol :laugh:

Its totally worth being able to flash custom kernel. Id say the changes are significant. And removing the sticker is the hardest part of the test point method. You wont lose drm either.

For GSM nxt light is the best you can overclock to whatever your kernel supports so 1.2 isn't the Max ovrrclock limit
Light edition it the better for gaming u get about 250 free ram on average

That has an interesting install method. Restore from CWM rather than installing from a .zip I imagine I'd have to flash myself back to stock 2.3.3 before I could install that?
Anyway, thanks for the heads up on Turbo Kernel (yeah I'm running r9 right now) I'll check that out too. I can handle not being able to use apps2sd, my main gripe is MD.emu and NES.emu won't display video. For some reason I haven't been able to restore my Wolfenstein 3D either...

Hello, I recently unlocked the bootloader on my R800x and Rooted it. I then installed lupus JBv8 480p XPLAY along with Super Jellybean v5.5, though now that I've done this, my system is terribly slow.
What alternative should I use? I am not using this as a phone, I just want to use it to run my music software (Oscilab if possible), emulators, and games.
Thanks in advance!

I have both lupus and turbo kernels downloaded for testing purposes on the r800x that I own. I also went with Slim Bean since it is light weight. For Xperia play gaming, it's best to stick with gingerbread roms from what I've read so far. The device is old. Single core stock clock 1ghz (OC to 1.6ghz), adreno 205, ~ 600mb internal (turbo kernel partitioning).
