Hmm - I have a xperia play on the way with a bad esn, been trying to figure out the best rom for gaming without unlocking. I do not care about the launcher or even phone functionality.
I bought this solely to emulate old school consoles on the go -what rom would you experienced guys suggest?
Looking for no bloat and no frills and any version (gb, ICS etc) would be fine.
Planning on removing phone and messaging apps.
Thanks guys
Edit - as mentioned above it has a bad esn from Cellcom - so it's CDMA -stock - not sure if I could flash gsm stuff too because I do not need any phone / data fxn just wifi. Thanks again

Can someone give me someone feedback on this subject?
If not lets try to find a friendly dev to help.
Any GSM rom will work fine on the AT&T phones.

I have a locked bootloader. Are all the stock kernels in the GSM roms the same? In other words does r800i rom and stock kernel work with r800at?

I am fellow 800at. Had phone for Bout a week. All gsm stock roms are safe to use on 800at. I'm on 800i 058 firmware with 036 baseband right now and doomkernel bootloader unlocked. But stock kernels are fine with locked bootloader. Battery seemed better on older firmware but I haven't tested long enough to be sure.
So are there any other rom options for r800x users other than GBTweaked and Cola? Cyanogen doesnt get specific so im not quite sure.
There is the Darkforest ROM version 3.0.5, the UK firmware ROM for the R800x and the IT-ROM, all of which will work with a locked or unlocked bootloader. Note that of the ones listed in your OP, CM7 is the only one that requires a unlocked bootloader.

Check out the UK firmware on R800x thread. The first post is the best rom I have ever used.

I just flashed T.E.A.M. ROM on my r800i yesterday and it also works for other xplay variants according to the thread starter. Its like a modification to the stock 2.3.4 and it is really fast and easy to use. Also, less than 50MB compared to other custom ROMS out there which are buggy.
Here's my current set up for my Xperia Play r800i:
T.E.A.M. ROM
Doomlord's kernel v11
Unlocked bootloader
Stock Home Launcher (for optimal use)
Antutu CPU Master for overclocking purposes
Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 for Xperia phones (available in Play Store aka Android Market)
Hey guys im new to xda(im was on android forums) and i have a r800i 2.3.4 at the moment bootloader locked. I need to know what are the best of the best roms for locked boot loaders. I have no intenion of unlocking it any time soon. Mabye some day
Darkforest or T.E.A.M.

What about overclocking? do i really need the bootloader unlocked? I tried to search but its always negative
You will need bootloader unlocked to overclock because you will need to flash a new kernel.

OK so I got my Xperia PLAY, and I'm looking for a plain debloated, deodexed, clean stock ROM. Does such a ROM exist? Also, do I need an unlocked bootloader? How can I tell if my phones bootloader is locked or unlocked? Thanks!

Hmm.... You can debloat the default/stock rom
Thinking of ODEX then I've no clue.
Unless you're looking for a Rom that is already existent so what are you looking for?
Performance?
Stability?
Lightness?

Overall I want a really fast and stable ROM that is good for gaming. I want it to look like stock though. Also, what does supercharged mean? Would that make it faster? I plan on overclocking, too.
Would it just be possible to root and overclock stock 2.3.4?

You cant overclock with a stock kernel 2.3.4. Since you dont know if your bootloader is unlocked it is obviously locked. You need a custom kernel that allows overclocking and this discussion is ended since you are stuck with what you have.

Is there an overclockable kernel that you can flash on locked bootloaders?

Nope. If you flash a custom kernel with your bootloader locked you will have a soft brick device.

OK. I've been looking up ways to unlock the bootloader on the R800X. I have dialed the number so you can get to the menu where you can check if you can unlock your bootloader, but there is nothing that says "rooting status" in the information part. My phone IS rooted. Does this mean I can't unlock the bootloader? I'm on Verizon.
Hey buddy, I have the same R800X as you on Verizon. We can't unlock bootloader for free unfortunately. I paid 20 to get mine unlocked. It was worth it for sure.
I am running debloated, supercharged stock 2.3.3 rom, and it works great.
I just got my Xperia Play last Friday

Thanks for the advice. Where did you get your bootloader keys? I think I'm going to chose the same path you did. Also, what kernel are you using? Thanks again!

I was a little nervous at first because you have to pay first and then he unlocks your phone. But I went ahead and did it and I would recommend it fully. It took about 10 minutes from beginning to end.
I am using Doomkernel. Going from the stock kernel and Doomkernel is like night and day. The phone is much more responsive and stable.
But the true speed gain is when you supercharge the rom. My friend, I have never seen speed gains so obvious.
Combine this with an overclock, and I will promise you will be impressed. The stock cpu speed is 1ghz, but I have just oc'ed to 1.2ghz. My max stable cpu speed is 1.9ghz, but I found 1.2ghz is a perfect speed for my needs

I have a locked bootloader and Gin2Jellybean. It is fairly debloated and everything especially if you get the lite version. And then you can always uninstall any more with root uninstaller from the market

Hey everyone,
i have a rooted xperia play r800i and i was wondering if there are some intructions on how to install ics on my phone with a locked bootloader?
thanks if you respond!!!
Short answer: you can't flash ICS with the bootloader locked.
Workaround: however some people say you can use the ICS rom of a Xperia Neo L because is basicly a Xperia Play without the gamepad, but with its rom the touchpads and the camera of the Xperia Play don't work.
You probably won't be able to get ICS on a locked bootoader (except maybe Neo L), because it requires a different kernel. To get a different kernel, you'll have to unlock your bootloader, but seeing as you have a R800i, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Just unlock your bootloader.
