What are the pros and cons of flashing a new ROM? And is it buggier than the stock ROM that are already flashed into our phones? And whats the best ROM out there for the xperia play?
These questions are despised by some people XD
I advise you google these questions!

Just googled it and found out why you should flash ROMs. Im planning to flash a ROM and also overclock my phone. Whats the best ROM out there for the xperia play which is fully functional (e.g. camera works, 3d data works etc) and resembles a little bit to ICS. Also, is it possible for me to get GB 2.3.7 as a cusom rom (i think thats the latest GB).

I recommend you JokaWild v3 Rom with DooMKerneL... I think that it is the best rom for the XPERIA Play for now. Smooth ,fast ,bugfree and very stable.
Ive had a look on a few roms and it came down to this:
JokaWild v3
OR
TrueAncestor
Will I be able to overclock using this ROM and DL's kernal?

You will need to flash FW 0.62 and custom kernel with root before installing the JokaWild rom. Everything works great ,no bugs! I replaced the theme of the rom to Gin2Ics - very nice.
so basically this is what I have to do. (currently, my phone is on .42, rooted and has cwm installed).
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash .62 Rom
3) get a custom kernal. Can I put DL's kernal? If yes, which one?
4) Flash jokawild using cwm
is that it?
Yep ,all good. You can use v14 ,works great with the JW. Don't forget to flash the wifi modules for this kernel ,very important if you want to remain you wifi/3G.
how would i back up my current stock rom? And will my contacts/messages etc be deleted or only the apps will be deleted when i flash a new rom and kernal?
Also, ive tried looking for the .62 and the kernal but couldnt find it. Could someone post a link. Thanks.
And will the widgets that came with the xperia s ui work on the joka wild rom? (eg the weather widget? )
I think I may have founded the files:
So I download the .62 stock rom = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406589
and then download this kernal = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406589
then flash jokawild v3?
0.62 FW = http://www.mediafire.com/?ytpsh7yay394b7p
DooMKerneL v14 = http://bit.ly/play_dk_14
Wifi Modules = http://d-h.st/JBM
JokaWild v3 Rom = http://www.mediafire.com/?xzvt84s6vy388tk
flash the FW via flashtool
unlock the BL
flash DooMKerneL V14
flash via CWM the WIFI modules
wipe data/factory reset via CWM
flash via CWM JokaWild v3 Rom
Thank you so much. i'll just download those files and then hopefully my phone will be running jokawild v3. (Btw can anybody post screenshots of the ui of jokawild. Ive only managed to find 2 screenshots and their only in the settings menu)..

In my opinion ,the stock theme of the rom isn't so much pretty... I'm using Gin2Ics theme with this rom ,very pretty and looks great.

im currently flashing the .62 fw now using flashtool but its been on 13% for about 20 minutes, is this normal?
its now been over 2 hours and now its on 19%. How long does this take? Is there any way to pause/stop it instead of plugging the phone out?
Ffinally I have flashed the .62 fw !!!
Now theres another problem, I need root to have cwm in order to flash the ROM and kernels. I tried using ginger break and the superoneclick method and it doesn't work although I heard you cant root on a .62 fw ... If this is the case then how did u get jokawild running ???
I have downloaded MIUI v4 2.8.24 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565194
I've tried various kernels and methods including the ones suggested in the different kernels and the rom installation instructions to get WIFI to work but i simply cant get wifi working at all, im currently on ArcKnight Kernel RC3.5.1 OC TEST, I was previously on Doomlords ICS Kernel and i flashed the Doomed wifi fix before flashing ArcKnights kernel but still cannot get wifi to work, any help would be appreciated
I've tried everything i can think of but no doubt its a simple fix and im now over thinking it too much :laugh:
did u take the ram patch if so you need the wifi libs for the kernal ur using ark knight init if you didnt take the ram boost try the stock plus cwm+sd ext and its libs iff all else fails do a fresh install of latest fw then reflash the rom with out the patch for ram and it will boot straight away
my bad thought u meant this one =) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851262
Wifi Modules
if you are using arcknight's kernel, you may have to flash his wifi modules to allow wifi to work, it can be found in his kernel thread, around the second or third post, if im not wrong.
I got the same problem with this one too... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849403&page=7
I used the stock kernel and turn on wifi ... it keeps saying "turning wifi on ...."
Help! I can not enter recovery with any kernels which support MIUI rom like
Fusion kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926299
And this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452819
Other kernels work great.
My device: Sony xperia arc lt15i, baseband 85, Unlocked bootloader
Use latest fusion kernel
Fusion is best kernel I have ever found
Use latest so that u could have no trouble
No need to flash other wifi modules and so on
You wont get any regret feeling after you use fusion!!!!

But the problem is that i cant enter recovery mod. How can i flash any Rom.
Dear all, I have had tried many methods such as
Enable init.d scripts support on stock kernel by iridaki
Enable Init.d for Any Phones w/o Need of Custom Kernels!!! by Ryuinferno
but nothing's worked for me
My device is Xperia Arc LT15i
Android version : 4.0.4
Build number : 4.1.B.0.587
Any advice / tutorial that I need to know?
I've rooted my phone (there is superuser apps)
I installed CWM (i can enter to recovery mode)
I installed busy box
I installed terminal emulator
Now I don't know what to do with this init.d support.
Thx in advance
Hm... is it because i've not unlocked my bootloader yet? :silly:
Most custom kernels come with init.d support. Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel of your choice.

@popthosegaskets : I tried to use custom kernel before. But, after i unlocked bootloader, now I would love to try custom kernel.
Is there any recomendation kernel for me? I just want/need to increase my internal storage.
Thx in advance
Kernel depends on your room choice, pick a ROM you like and flash the corresponding kernel.

Until this moment, i've tried some kernels that support ICS and my FW version.
Such as : ARC-DooMKernel-ICS-BETA-v05_boot
But i've not found one of them working for my phone.

Did you try LuPuS kernel or Advanced Stock Kernel?

Hi
Firstly apologies for these questions I've been out of the loop in these regards for a while.
I am currently using a ROM based on ICS with DoomLord kernel but I have no Play Store and the phone in it's current state is not usable effectively.
I have 2 options, Either return the device to the latest stock ROM etc... would having DooMLoRDs Kernel effect this?
Or use a stable up to date clean ROM?
If someone could provide feedback in relation to this and how to do it that would be great, I haven't use this device in a year but now need to use it as my daily driver until my Z1 gets fixed.
Many Thanks
Nevermind, I simply flashed Gin2KitKat 4.1 then the 4.2 update then the WiFi modules for DooMLoRD Kernel and it's working again.
May flash a newer Kernel tomorrow if I get time

How do you flash the wifi modules? I know you put the modules on the SD card but then what did you do to make wifi work?
