Hi there.
I am a new Xperia Play user. Since I used SGSII before, CM9 and the stock android experience is a must for me and CM9 was the first thing I installed on my Xperia Play. I have a small problem with GTAIII. First of all - the game is laggy as hell... What is the best Display setting for the Xperia Play? Secondly - gamepad doesn't work. I mean... Arrows and O button (as 'back') work but that's pretty much it. What should I do to make it work properly with the whole gamepad? I'm on the latest build of CM9 from the FreeXperia Project (build dated 23.09). Thanks in advance.
To my understanding cm9 for game compatibility is rather rubbish, your better going back on gb if you want to play games what don't lag as much

Xperia PLAY is best experienced with STOCK GINGERBREAD. Everyone knows that. Nuff said.
Wow, thank you guys for stating the obvious.
But I was asking for something else. Well, I guess I'll have to dig deeper on my own if you guys don't have any simple solutions.
Hmmm they are the solutions... Anything based on ics etc aren't very good for gaming purposes, GTA 3 won't get any better on that Rom hence why I'm telling you gingerbread roms are the best for gaming,
And good luck digging for solutions on your own because everybody will just say give up or go back to gingerbread because there is no better solution to get GTA 3 running as good as you want on cm9
Enough said

Wow, could you be any ruder? You came here and asked a question, but yet you knew the obvious answer. And then to top if off you have attitude.
Everyone knows gingerbread is best for gaming, so just FRSU (flash, reboot and shutup)

god day all you happy xperia play owner.
i will soon getting a new phone and i wont have any need for the xperia play as a actual phone. so this will be only a gaming device.
what im looking for is the perfect kernel and rom to give me as much quality gaming as possible.
currently on ICS++ and a ICS beta kernel from doom and am realy happy with it. only downside is emulators not working to a 100% (SNesoid. gameoid, n64oid and nesoid.) the issue is sound on = lagg and n64oid lags / reboots phone.
so what im looking for is a ICS rom (for the touch pads working) that gan give a good gaming experience.
I decided to go back to a stock 2.3.4 on my r800x. All custom roms and any that are ICS gave me lag in games, and low fps for some reason.

Jokawild isn't ICS.
I think that if you want everything to work like it should, you should go back to stock.
ICS seems to be more demanding overall over Gingerbread from what ive seen.
Xperia play is pretty dated Hardware wise so a really trimmed down version of Gingerbread might be the best option for gaming
Ive seen a few threads point to use either DiXperia, Jokawild, or TruAncestor
I'm using the Xperia S Style ROM and man games run faster than they did before. V6 Supercharged of course.

I can confirm this!
I just swithed to DiXperia (on of the many Xperia S roms) and i have seen a huge boost in performance with a full 200MB of Ram free while running.
The nice thing about DiXperia so far is that its completely barebones and you add what you want to it.
Definetely get on the Xperia S Roms
Agreed with above, im actually switching my phone over to an xperia S rom.
JokaWild is the best custom ROM that I know.. definetly great!
touch?
i can live with going back to GB since SE are not releasing official ICS. but is there anyway to have GB with touch pad support on emulators?
DarkForest Roms is a not bad options

I second this.
Hi guys, I got an arc s a week ago after coming from a crap lumia, done a few mods so far but the phone seems a bit laggy.
I'm wandering what you guys think is the best rom, kernel and scripts to use? I've read through a lot of posts but there's too many different versions!
Currently on stock 4.0.3 with xperia s apps installed
Speed, and battery life are the most important things for me, also wouldn't mind a configuration which let's me put s-voice onto the phone as that looks cool
Thanks guys

First of all update it to ics v 4.0.4 (less Laggy) use update service to see if it is available...
Thanks, I've tried the update service but 4.0.3 is the latest it gives me, you reckon it's worth figuring out how to do it manually?

My poor Xperia Play is getting on a bit and I think it's time to put it into retirement. I'm hopefully getting an Nexus 4 soon, but I want to hang onto my Xperia Play as a pure gaming device. Mainly emulators and such, but also supporting the touch pads if possible (particularly FPSE).
I want to give it the best ROM for this purpose, with a good balance of speed, stability, and support. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Any Gingerbread rom with a custom kernel capable of overclocking will probably be fine for gaming. ICS and Jellybean are more resource-intensive, thus decreasing the in-game performance on such roms.

All my games have ran perfect since switching to NXT Light Edition.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into the ROMS suggested so far.
What's the situation with the touch pad controls in FPSE these days? Last I heard, a long while ago, they worked provided you were on an ICS ROM?
FPse touchpads work on GB/ICS now. Probably JB too
Just read my signature... No lags any more!!
I tested all roms for locked BL and that's the ONLY ONE that gave me the required performance!
Just thing what can you do with an unlocked BL!!
Cheers mate!!
Cola rom. Not sure if it works with 800i but if it does you'll love it.

Hello guys!
So, not long ago I started "modding" my Defy. Things were not that new to me, since I used to "mod" my Xperia Mini Pro).
The main point is, Xperia Mini Pro had a Game oriented Rom named Gingergames, so my question is, if is there anything similar to that for the Defy!
I took a few searches but could not find any so far.
For the record, I tried Quarx 4.2.2 rom, but it doesn't do good at games even though its looks are fantastic!
Thanks a lot!
some states that stock rom is good for gaming..

This is actually true, but I was hoping for a rom with especifical game optimization.
Well, after looking the internet up and reading a lot, I came to the conclusion that White Rabbit Next Gen ROM would have a good performance on gaming since it was deemed as very light, fast and reliable and the final fact is that my Defy is running all 3D games I have tried so far without barely any lags or slowdowns. I have tried Asphalt 7 and Contract Killer 2, and both run just smooth.
So, in case anyone else is wondering, I am not sure if White Rabbit Next Gen is the BEST Rom for gaming, but I can assure it is a pretty good one!
Well, I'm on Quarx's cm10 20130326 ROM and gaming is buttery smooth. I have been playing FIFA 12 and Need For Speed Most Wanted with no lags. I still wanna try GTA III and see if passes the test. However, I had to over clock. Here are my settings
300/16
600/28
900/42
1250/58

I am pretty sure there LOTS of ROMS like that throughout the forum but I would recommend Close2Perfection and Gin2KitKat. Try them both if you can and see what is good for you. BTW, both of them are GB ROMs.

Well, I used the Gin2JellyBean Rom 2.5.2 (not a fan of the kitkat 3.0.0 look). It's very stable, has great battery life and it's also extremely powerful when it comes to gaming. Also, I haven't found something which is missing. Everything is working great and it's without a doubt, one(!) of the best Xperia Play GB roms you can find here.
But for now I'm using IceCreamSpeed V12. I like the design and it's an incredible good ICS rom, with full Touchpad Support (and if it doesn't work for specific games you can use the Touchpad activator, coming with the rom).
Alright so
I tested almost all "gaming" roms on gb for the xperia play for 1 year now..... And i have to say that NXT Light or Auroraplay is the best choice for you if you want to game
I am now on auroraplay and i have to say i can play everygame without overclocking and withotu lags
Btw: The GB Roms are much faster then the ICS roms so dont bother you use gingerbread for gaming
The best kernel for gingerbread is

So use that with auroraplay and your xperia play will fly!!!!
Edit: No that roms hasnt any bugs and of corse you can use your touchpad
1. I have tried many ROMS too. but the SuperLite JB is one of my Fav's .. I used it as a daily for 1 year. Totally customizable because of AOKP settings.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2357756
and then I switched to MIUI.. ohhhhh.. MIUI is the real Beautiful Face of Android.. the usual android is soooooooooooooo Boring.. MIUI is a please to the eye.. Totally Customizable.. Loving it from within 5 mins of Installing it..
2. You have the Gaming Edition GB here .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2201338
3. and also the newer.. JB edition here .. http://en.miui.com/thread-3182-1-1.html .. the JB one is amazing.. and newer.. a totally fresh change.. but still ANDROID.
