Ics based roms have compatibility problems with certain games don't know which if u are looking for any ics if not u don't have to worry all gb based roms are working fine

Xperia NXT 1.2
High perfomance, good for gaming

I use Gin2JellyBean 1.8.1, great looking, smooth and i think is the colsest to have a ICS or JB experience based in GB, it also has great space to install apps and the option to install directly to SD Card.

For gaming, Dixperia 2 or Xperia NXT. Both Great.

I would recommend useing Markphyton's rom ICS 4.0.4
This rom offers touchpad support for gaming in ICS by using sony official beta ics kernel.

Gin2JB is for eyecandy. Thats why its more laggy.

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

Doomkernel 1.4

I believe chery2k is right. Thank you all for your answers.

I've been using the official ICS Rom forever now but I've been missing game play when I get bored. So I'm heading back stock out of the box firmware with some tweaks and bloat removal of course.

Well i'm back in stock ville. Lol! But hell now my games are working flawlessly. Removed all Sony crap I didn't use, added supercharger script. Did some other miscellaneous tweaking and now my at&t Xperia Play 4G is back rocking.

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.

Not for install ICS roms (i want keep this NXT Rom 1.3, is the best rom IMHO) , but because i want overclock a litlle bit, let 's say 1.4-1.6. because i see in latest games litttle lags are annoying, like Need for Speed most wanted, MC3, ...

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

I dont play games that uses the pads, just the DPad, so i'm using SlimBean 3 (By CJ360), and waiting for the fix for Wifi/DeepSleep... Otherwise, is a excellent ROM. smooth and fast as hell, maybe more than GB...

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.

I think I found it... ZeuscNXTLite v1.1.1?
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...

are you saying that if you DO have unlocked boot loader that you CAN change kernel? if so, what are the advantages/disadvantages of using another kernel? i've had no major problems running NXT light and DooMKernel but i do like trying out different things. anyways, GTA VC runs very well on NXT light ROM.

Why you say "not working at all" based on ONE game?
That game have working touchpad only on GB roms, it doesn't work on ANY ICS or JB roms
On the other side, ALL Gameloft xperia play optimized games have working touchpads on ANY GB, ICS and JB roms (stock based or others with fix)

[Q] Xperia PLAY ICS full working ROM

Hi there.
I need ICS ROM for Xplay with everything working, especially TOUCHPADS and GAMEPAD
Is there any ICS rom that full support touchpads and really works, i found neo2play rom, xperia play zeus final v5 rom, and in description i reed that touchpads are supported 100% but when i tried games like mc2, nova 2, rainbow six etc. when i touch the touchpads, games forces close :/
Touchpads only worked on fifa 12 and 9mm(in games that i tried).
And what about official sony ICS beta for PLAY? Does it have full supported touchpads, anyone tried it ? If it has full working touchpads, than i'll have to relock my bootloader and install that rom because i really need ICS rom with everything full working.
Please post a link of a ICS rom thread(if there is any) with full working touchpads and gamepads.

Hi, you can try krisdee's hybrid ROM or the Darkforest ROM. The first one is lighter so it's better for gaming but the second one looks more like ICs. Trough, why don't you use a GB ROM for gaming insteand than an ICs one? ICs ROMs are heavier and less friendly with RAM than GB ones. I don't know how could nova be playable on an ICs ROM :S anyway i'm a new user here and i haven't got enough messages to post links but the krisdee's rom is easy to find but the Darkforest must be uploaded again.

I need ICS rom because some apps that i use need android 4+ to instal
I only need ICS ROM with everything working well.
In last days I tried about 10 different ROMs and in every ROM i reed that touchpads work perfect, i tested it and whenever i touch the touchpads in modern combat 2, it gives me FC, same thing in rainbow six and brother in arms
could this problem be kernel releted? because i always use lupus ics/gb v7 720p stock based kernel.
OR could apks of games be a problem, i downloaded tham all in one pack(gameloft games) and let them download their data over wifi.

Krisdee's hybrid ROM should have full working touchpads. Search it here on xda and try it. Anyway i don't think it's a kernel problem...

There is no ICS/JB rom with touchpads working on ALL games. If the games you want can't be played on ICS/JB then stay on GB. Or use ICS/JB rom and, with tears in your eyes, remember the good old times when all games was working with touchpads...

Now tried 2.3.7 Gin2KitKat GB ROM and touchpads works in modern combat 2 and in brothers in arms 2 , maybe ICS ROMs aren't optimized for "some games"(like mc2, bia2 etc.) I didn't try mc4 but now i'll try it too to see if it's working on some ICS ROM on my phone, i reply when i test it.

And if you really need ics ROM you can try the multiboot.
